The Black Lotus Stole the White Moonlight (GL) - Chapter 22

Bai An’an reached out a finger, tentatively grabbing the corner of Mu Tianyin’s white robe that was hanging beside her, then slowly turned over again, throwing herself into Mu Tianyin’s arms.

Her fingers slid down the sleeve, along Mu Tianyin’s slender waist.

She hugged Mu Tianyin like this, her breathing gradually calming down.

After a moment, Mu Tianyin looked down and saw the girl hugging her waist, burying her little head in her arms, sleeping soundly.

Mu Tianyin’s fingers moved slightly, and she raised her hand again, placing it on her cheek.

A faint smile appeared on her lips, her tea-colored eyes reflecting the moonlight, her gaze gentle.

She brushed away the stray hair on Bai An’an’s cheek, and whispered softly as if sighing, “Sleep well.”

In her arms, Bai An’an, who should have been asleep, suddenly opened her eyes, her eyes curving into crescent moons, a sly smile on her face.

Bai An’an smiled, rubbed against Mu Tianyin’s waist, and adjusted her position to make herself more comfortable.

The tip of her nose caught the unique cold fragrance of Mu Tianyin, which was very pleasant. She smelled the cold fragrance and unknowingly fell asleep.

She slept soundly all night, and when she woke up the next day, Mu Tianyin was no longer in the room.

For the next few days, Bai An’an ‘slept restlessly’ every night, forcing Mu Tianyin to come to her room to keep her company.

Although Mu Tianyin kept her company, she always left just before dawn. Without exception.

Therefore, Bai An’an was ‘completely unaware’ of all this.

Waking up from another sound sleep, Bai An’an stretched her limbs, yawned, and saw the breakfast placed on the table, raising an eyebrow.

She got out of bed, slipped on her slippers, walked over, and after a simple wash, picked up the breakfast and took a bite.

Today’s buns were filled with mushroom, and they tasted very delicious. She wondered if they were made by Senior Brother Zhai.

Bai An’an went out with a bun in her mouth and found that the courtyard was very quiet today.

Zhai Anyi was not there, and Mu Tianyin was also gone. Her other two disciples, one was locked in the forbidden area, and the other was said to have gone out for training. The huge courtyard was empty except for her.

Bai An’an rolled her eyes, slowly returned to her room, and soon came out with a lotus-embroidered sachet.

She stroked the white lotus embroidered on the sachet, then suddenly put it to her nose and smelled it, smiling with satisfaction.

As she stepped out of the room, she inadvertently glanced at two short figures sneaking around at the courtyard entrance. She raised an eyebrow and looked over, seeing Wen Jingxian and Ah Huang hiding in the corner of the courtyard entrance, cautiously peeking in.

When Wen Jingxian saw Bai An’an, she immediately stretched out her hands and waved at her happily, “An’an! It’s me! Wen Jingxian!”

Bai An’an turned her head and smiled faintly, then turned her face and walked over, pretending to be curious, “Young lady sister, what are you doing?”

Wen Jingxian rubbed her hands together with a cheeky smile, “Don’t call me Young lady! It’s too distant! Call me Junior Sister Wen!” As she spoke, she straightened up and tentatively reached out to pat her shoulder, but Bai An’an deftly dodged it.

Bai An’an looked at her cautiously, “Young lady sister, your smile is scary.”

Wen Jingxian’s hand and the smile on her face froze. She touched the back of her head embarrassedly, “Well… An’an, how did I treat you before?”

Bai An’an narrowed her eyes, then suddenly smiled, “Young lady sister treated An’er very well.”

“That’s good, that’s good.” Wen Jingxian rubbed her hands together, smiling kindly, “Have you eaten yet? I’ve prepared some food.”

Seeing her little friend rise in the world in a second, hugging City Lord Mu’s thigh, what was this called? When a man got to heaven, even his dogs and chickens would rise! She had to cling to Bai An’an’s thigh, and then she could walk sideways on the mountain with Bai An’an’s relationship!

Wen Jingxian thought about this, her smile becoming even more flattering.

Ah Huang, who came with her, couldn’t bear to watch, looking at Bai An’an apologetically, not knowing what to say to her.

At the same time, on the other side.

After Zhai Anyi finished practicing his sword, he passed by the forbidden area, thinking about his junior sister and wanting to let his senior sister know about it. So he once again ignored the guard disciples’ gazes and slipped in, thinking he was hiding well, but in fact, he was full of flaws.

“Senior Sister, Senior Sister!” As soon as he stepped into the forbidden area, Zhai Anyi shouted loudly, startling a flock of birds in the mountain.

Song Qiyu, dressed in plain robes, opened her eyes helplessly and looked at Zhai Anyi, who was rushing over in a hurry.

“Junior Brother Zhai, this is the forbidden area.” She reminded him, her gentle voice carrying a trace of helplessness and doting.

Zhai Anyi wiped the sweat from his forehead, not caring about his senior sister’s cold face, and said to her gossipingly, “Guess what big thing happened recently?”

Song Qiyu glanced at him and smiled, “Who did you tease again? Or did Elder Shi make another joke?”

Zhai Anyi glared at her, unconvinced, complaining, “Senior Sister! Am I such a troublemaker in your eyes?”

Song Qiyu looked him up and down and snorted, “What do you think?”

Zhai Anyi immediately deflated like a punctured ball, muttering to himself. Unfortunately, Song Qiyu was not interested in gossip, making Zhai Anyi feel aggrieved.

Seeing that his senior sister didn’t continue to ask, Zhai Anyi couldn’t suppress his gossipy heart and blurted out, “Fine, I’ll tell you!”

He looked around, leaned over, lowered his voice, and said mysteriously, “I suspect Master had a child out of wedlock!”

After hearing this, Song Qiyu was stunned for a long time.

After a while, she came back to her senses, laughing and crying, “Junior Brother, where did you hear this rumor? Master cultivates the Path of Emotionlessness.”

Zhai Anyi blinked and said seriously, “Senior Sister, I haven’t forgotten that.”

He continued to whisper his guess, “Think about it, Master is thousands of years old. Over the years, she might have had a few days when she suddenly thought differently. Seeing other people’s children and grandchildren, but she was alone, she might have had a moment of weakness and found a wild man to have a child?”

Song Qiyu was so amused that she couldn’t help but frown, “I think you’ve been too idle lately, thinking about these nonsense things.”

Zhai Anyi immediately swore, “Senior Sister, don’t you believe me! Junior Sister is the proof!”

Song Qiyu was stunned, hesitating, “Junior Sister?”

Zhai Anyi nodded repeatedly, very seriously, “Yes! Master is so good to Junior Sister. Do you remember? I mentioned to you last time that Master hadn’t even accepted a disciple yet, but she was thinking about buying candied haws for her.”

“Not only that, Master also asked me to make breakfast! And she gave Junior Sister the hairpin she always wears.” Zhai Anyi continued to pour out his feelings, regardless of Song Qiyu’s complicated mood, “Seriously, Master treats Junior Sister like her own daughter. I’ve been with Master for so long, and it’s the first time I’ve seen her smile so happily.”

Song Qiyu was incredulous, staring at him blankly.

Her master was the pure white snow on the top of the mountain, the bright moon in her heart that she could never reach.

She knew that master-disciple love was not tolerated by the world, so she suppressed her little thoughts. Because her master cultivated the Path of Emotionlessness, she could always stand by her side as a disciple. She was her eldest disciple, always the closest to her. She was satisfied with that.

But now her junior brother was telling her that her cold and unsmiling master could also love someone else like an ordinary person.

Song Qiyu was stunned for a moment, and when she thought about the Path of Emotionlessness that Mu Tianyin cultivated, she thought she was being too suspicious, even believing her junior brother’s words.

So after listening to Zhai Anyi, Song Qiyu looked calm, “If you’re so idle, why don’t you recite the magic formula again?”

Zhai Anyi screamed, his little face wrinkled, “Please, Senior Sister. Wait…” He pretended to suddenly remember something, blinked, turned around quickly, and ran away, shouting as he ran, “Senior Sister, I’ll go back first! Next time, I’ll bring Junior Sister to see you!”

As soon as he finished speaking, he disappeared.

Song Qiyu looked at his back, thinking about the junior sister he mentioned, lowered her eyelashes, and hid the complicated thoughts in her eyes.

Junior Brother was always unreliable, how could she believe him?

Zhai Anyi ran back breathlessly and saw Bai An’an sitting on the stone bench in the courtyard, looking bored.

His eyes lit up, he ran over happily, with a big smile on his face, “Junior Sister!”

Bai An’an had just sent away the noisy Wen Jingxian, and now Zhai Anyi came again. She twirled the sachet hanging on her waist, pursed her lips, and forced a smile at him.

Seeing Bai An’an’s perfunctory smile, Zhai Anyi scratched his head, embarrassed, “What’s wrong? Are you bored? Do you want Senior Brother to take you down the mountain to play?”

As he spoke, his gaze couldn’t help but fall on Bai An’an’s sachet, his eyes lighting up,  “Junior Sister, did you embroider this yourself? It smells so good, what did you put inside?”

“Just some calming herbs for sleep.” Bai An’an nodded, she wasn’t very interested in the market down the mountain, so she didn’t respond to Zhai Anyi’s suggestion.

She glanced at him casually and suddenly had an idea, “Senior Brother, when can I see Senior Sister?”

Zhai Anyi looked away and hesitated, “Well… I’m not sure I can bring another person in.”

Bai An’an cupped her face, looking at him expectantly, “How could that be? Senior Brother is so powerful! In the entire Mingxin City, apart from Master, the elders, and Senior Sister, isn’t Senior Brother Zhai the most powerful?”

That’s right.

It seemed that was the case?

Zhai Anyi, reminded by Bai An’an, scratched the back of his head and immediately had a realization.

He was the City Lord’s top disciple, he had to show the demeanor of a top disciple!

Seeing Bai An’an’s expectant gaze, he immediately felt a surge of pride, patted his chest and said shamelessly, “There’s no time like the present! Master is out and won’t be back for a few days. Senior Brother will take you to see Senior Sister!”

Hearing this, Bai An’an’s eyes curved into crescents, and she said sweetly, “Thank you, Senior Brother!”

“But…” Zhai Anyi’s gaze glanced at Bai An’an’s sachet, and he said shyly, “Junior Sister, your embroidery is so good, can you give me a sachet?”

Bai An’an raised an eyebrow and said slowly, “Of course, that’s no problem.”

The two of them strolled to the outskirts of the forbidden area and were stopped by the guard disciples.

Zhai Anyi was extremely embarrassed, arguing with the guard disciples, his face red, “Who said we were going in? We’re just taking a walk outside, can’t we even do that?!”

The guard disciple said helplessly, “Senior Brother Zhai, we really can’t make an exception. If you have nothing to do, please go somewhere else.”

The reason Zhai Anyi was able to sneak in before was entirely because the guard disciples were giving Mu Tianyin face.

In addition, Zhai Anyi was known for being mischievous on the mountain, and the disciples didn’t want to cause trouble, so they turned a blind eye.

Now that he wanted to sneak in and bring another person, the guard disciples were not so easy to talk to.

Bai An’an quickly grabbed Zhai Anyi’s sleeve and whispered, “In that case, Senior Brother, let’s forget about it.” Seeing Zhai Anyi look over, his face red, she quickly lowered her voice, “Let’s come back next time when we have a chance?”

As Bai An’an spoke, she took a few steps forward and bowed to the guard disciples.

Bai An’an straightened up and said, “An’er knows that you are all doing your duty, please forgive me if I have offended you.”

The guard disciples didn’t dare to blame her, and their originally stern expressions softened.

One of the disciples was standing closer to Bai An’an, and he smelled the faint fragrance coming from her. Meeting Bai An’an’s sudden gaze, he blushed and took a step back.

Bai An’an’s dark eyes flashed, and she smiled at him again, making the disciple blush even more.

Bai An’an smiled and lowered her eyes, then turned and pulled Zhai Anyi’s sleeve and left.

“Junior Sister, I’m sorry, it’s all my fault.” Zhai Anyi walked slowly, dejected.

Bai An’an, walking in front, said without turning her head, “Senior Brother, you don’t have to belittle yourself, you’ve already helped An’er a lot.”

Hearing this, Zhai Anyi raised his head in surprise, confused, “What did I help with?”

Bai An’an narrowed her eyes, turned to look at him, and said with a smile, “Did Senior Brother forget? You prepared all the food.”

“That’s true.” Zhai Anyi nodded seriously, immediately regaining his spirits.

Before returning to her room, Bai An’an had found out that Mu Tianyin was going out for business and wouldn’t be back for three or four days. These few days were enough for her to use the soul fragrance to prepare.

She stroked the sachet on her waist expressionlessly, thinking about how to tease Song Qiyu, her eyes reddening with excitement.

That night, she finished her preparations, closed the door, lay on the bed, and slowly closed her eyes.

At the same time, thousands of miles away, Mu Tianyin, who had finished dealing with the sect’s affairs ahead of schedule, suddenly remembered her little disciple’s nightmare and frowned slightly.

The elders beside her noticed her expression and asked curiously, “City Lord, is there something strange about this secret realm?”

Mu Tianyin came back to her senses, shook her head, and said slowly, “The secret realm is fine. Now that things are finished here, I’ll go back.”

The elders looked at the sky, the night dew was heavy, was it necessary to rush? They looked at each other, all surprised.

However, Mu Tianyin, as the City Lord, shouldn’t leave Mingxin City for too long.

The elders looked at each other again and bowed to Mu Tianyin.

Mu Tianyin nodded, waved her long sleeves, and turned into a white light, flying towards Mingxin City.

The night was dark as ink, and everything was silent.

Mu Tianyin, bathed in the night dew and moonlight, walked towards Bai An’an’s room, her white clothes fluttering. Her fingers pressed against the door, and she was about to push it open.

Bai An’an reached out a finger, tentatively grabbing the corner of Mu Tianyin’s white robe that was hanging beside her, then slowly turned over again, throwing herself into Mu Tianyin’s arms.

Her fingers slid down the sleeve, along Mu Tianyin’s slender waist.

She hugged Mu Tianyin like this, her breathing gradually calming down.

After a moment, Mu Tianyin looked down and saw the girl hugging her waist, burying her little head in her arms, sleeping soundly.

Mu Tianyin’s fingers moved slightly, and she raised her hand again, placing it on her cheek.

A faint smile appeared on her lips, her tea-colored eyes reflecting the moonlight, her gaze gentle.

She brushed away the stray hair on Bai An’an’s cheek, and whispered softly as if sighing, “Sleep well.”

In her arms, Bai An’an, who should have been asleep, suddenly opened her eyes, her eyes curving into crescent moons, a sly smile on her face.

Bai An’an turned her head and smiled faintly, then turned her face and walked over, pretending to be curious, “Young lady sister, what are you doing?”

Wen Jingxian rubbed her hands together with a cheeky smile, “Don’t call me Young lady! It’s too distant! Call me Junior Sister Wen!” As she spoke, she straightened up and tentatively reached out to pat her shoulder, but Bai An’an deftly dodged it.
