My Unpopular Neighbor Girl Has Hidden Identities

Chapter 548: 547, objection invalid

Fang Yanran emerged from behind the rocks, sneering at Song Yan Ning, “I underestimated you.” She had thought that those two disciples, even if they didn’t manage to deal with Song Yan Ning, would at least scare her, but instead, they were frightened by Song Yan Ning. What useless trash they were!

“What do you mean by targeting me time and again?” There was a cold sharpness in Song Yan Ning’s eyes.

Facing Song Yan Ning’s gaze, an inexplicable chill arose in Fang Yanran’s heart. “I joined the sect before you, which makes me your senior sister. Do I need a reason to teach a lesson to a new disciple like you?”

Song Yan Ning let out a cold laugh and raised her hand to strike out with a palm.

Fang Yanran felt a burst of intense pain in her chest; she staggered back several steps before steadying herself. Fear filled her eyes as she looked at Song Yan Ning. She had not expected Song Yan Ning to dare lay a hand on her. She had never seen such an arrogant new disciple—and that Qin Yushen, too, always acting so high and mighty. Birds of a feather flock together indeed.

“This is the last time,” Song Yan Ning said, turning and walking towards the direction of the Dan Pavilion. She had always lived by the principle of not provoking others unless provoked. If others crossed her, they couldn’t blame her for showing no mercy.noveldrama

Fang Yanran glared hatefully at Song Yan Ning’s retreating figure, her fists creaking with the tension. “Song Yan Ning, you wait for me. I will not let this go easily.”

“What do you want?” An ice-cold, piercing voice rose from behind Fang Yanran.

Fang Yanran shuddered and spun around quickly to see Qin Yushen standing behind her, his face as frosty as ever, with a predatory gleam in his eyes that shifted with a cold, sinister light. A bone-chilling sensation, like caterpillars, scampered from the soles of her feet up her spine, making her feel cold to the core.

“This is the last time,” Qin Yushen said coldly, his voice as though coming from the depths of hell.

“Qin… Qin Yushen, don’t think you can do whatever you want just because the master favors you. I am your senior sister,” Fang Yanran said, struggling to contain her fear, her voice trembling.

“Senior sister? Are you worthy?” Qin Yushen cast a disdainful glance at Fang Yanran and turned to leave.

Fang Yanran watched Qin Yushen’s departing figure, taking a long time to regain her composure. She took a deep breath as her gaze slowly turned ruthless. Since joining the sect, it was the first time she had suffered such humiliation. She swore to get back at Qin Yushen and Song Yan Ning double for this—if she couldn’t do it alone, she would find allies to take them down.

Just as Song Yan Ning arrived at the Dan Pavilion, a sweet-faced girl greeted her with a smile, “You must be Junior Sister Song, right? I am Murong Liying; you can call me Senior Sister Murong.” Although Song Yan Ning appeared older, in the sect, hierarchy and cultivation level were what mattered.

“Senior Sister Murong!” Song Yan Ning replied with a slight smile to Murong Liying.

“Junior Sister Song, I have already arranged a place for you to stay. Let me take you there,” Murong Liying said, taking Song Yan Ning’s hand and leading her towards her new residence.

They walked through a garden full of spirit plants, and Murong Liying brought Song Yan Ning to a serene little courtyard, filled with various spirit plants. The fragrance of the spirit plants permeated the entire yard, lifting one’s spirits.

“Do you like it here, Junior Sister Song?” Murong Liying asked, looking at Song Yan Ning.

“Mhm.” Song Yan Ning nodded.

“Good to hear that you like it. Let me show you around,” Murong Liying said with a happy smile, holding Song Yan Ning’s hand as they moved inside. Her father had instructed her to find a place for Song Yan Ning to live, and she had chosen this particular courtyard after a lengthy selection.

“This small courtyard has a dedicated Alchemy Room, complete with Earth Fire and a Pill Furnace, it’s this one.” Murong Liying pushed open the door of one of the rooms and pulled Song Yan Ning inside. For an Alchemist, alchemy was the most crucial aspect.

Song Yan Ning entered the Alchemy Room, glanced around, and nodded, “This place is very nice!” However, she probably wouldn’t need it; she didn’t like to use Earth Fire for alchemy, and using her own Alchemy Furnace would make the process smoother.

With Murong Liying leading the way, Song Yan Ning toured the entire courtyard. She was very satisfied with the environment here, and having her own private space would make things more convenient for her.

“Junior Sister Song, I’ll head back first then. If you need anything, come find me.” Murong Liying waved at Song Yan Ning and left the courtyard.

Song Yan Ning smiled and was about to head back to her room when a large hand from behind blocked her waist and pulled her into an embrace.

The familiar scent came through, and Song Yan Ning leaned contentedly into Qin Yushen’s arms, “Did you enter Artifact Peak?”

“Yeah.” Qin Yushen nodded, his deep eyes locked onto Song Yan Ning, brimming with tenderness.

“So now you also have a separate courtyard?” Song Yan Ning looked up at Qin Yushen.

“I do, but I want to live here.” Qin Yushen leaned down and kissed Song Yan Ning on the lips. He liked living with her, and although they wouldn’t do anything, just watching her was happiness for him.

“I don’t want to though,” Song Yan Ning gave Qin Yushen a sidelong glance. She liked living with him too, but this was Tianyi Gate after all, and it was better to keep a low profile.

“Xiao Ning!” Qin Yushen looked at Song Yan Ning with a pitiful expression, like someone about to be abandoned.

“Pfft!” Song Yan Ning couldn’t help laughing. This was the first time she had seen Qin Yushen act so coy, but it was quite cute.

Seeing Song Yan Ning doubling over with laughter, a hint of helplessness and indulgence flashed in Qin Yushen’s eyes. He scooped her up in his arms and headed towards her room, “I have decided, and opposition is futile.”

Song Yan Ning rolled her eyes at Qin Yushen with a smile, “Domineering!”

After closing the door and setting up the Array Formation Restriction, Qin Yushen sat Song Yan Ning down in a chair and sat next to her, “I just went to the Task Hall and saw that the task to capture the Tianyi Gate traitor Lan Feiyue is quite suitable for us. It seems likely that the place Lan Feiyue went to is White Tiger City.”

“Then let’s pick this task,” Song Yan Ning trusted Qin Yushen; if he said so, he must have thought it through thoroughly.

“Alright!” Qin Yushen nodded, reached up, and took off the mask on his face. Although wearing the mask didn’t feel like anything, he preferred letting Xiao Ning see the real him.

Song Yan Ning also reached up to remove her own mask. Wearing this mask really didn’t feel like anything; if it weren’t for seeing Qin Yushen take his off, she would have forgotten she was wearing one.

After placing the masks aside, Song Yan Ning took out a Communication Token, “I’ll send a message to Elder Mie Yu to inform her.”

“Mm.” Qin Yushen nodded.

Elder Mie Yu was in the Task Hall staring at the large screen displaying tasks when she felt her Communication Token vibrate and quickly stepped out of the Task Hall.
