Chapter 323 - Chapter 20

"Humph, after all, it's Sophia's favorite pet, so she'll put a lot of thought into the name."

A flicker of jealousy flashed across Lilith's eyes, followed by a moment of dimness. "Let's not talk about it. Since there are no qualified companions here, I can only find another good plan."

Lilith floated in and out, leaving Pei Xuan to digest the information that followed.

Knowing the name "Xi Yin", Pei Xuan can get her specific coordinates from the system.

A plan suddenly came to his mind. He immediately stood up, walked up to the leaders of the various factions, and said loudly: "My dear elders, I know the location of the black demon!"

Everyone was discussing something and hadn't noticed Pei Xuan's presence at all until Pei Xuan interrupted them. They didn't recognize Pei Xuan's identity for a moment.

Finally, Shen Hongyuan, the leader of the Moyun Sect who had some contact with Pei Xuan, barely recognized him. "Oh! You are the disciple of Fairy Du Ruoyun, your name is Pei... Pei what's your name?"

"My name is Pei Xuan." Pei Xuan smiled slightly, "Thank you for your guidance, seniors."

"Yes, Pei Xuan, I remember now. You're a descendant of the Pei family." Liu Xin, wife of the Valley Master of Baihua Valley, nodded. Her beloved daughter's disappearance had made her lose her usual calm smile. Her brows were now filled with worry and anxiety. "How did you know the location of that great demon?"

"This is calculated by the Imperial Astronomical Observatory. Fairy Du ordered me to inform all the seniors." Looking at Liu Xin's face, which was as beautiful as Liu Xunyun's but more mature, Pei Xuan couldn't help but smile. "This great demon incident is of great significance. The court is willing to work together with all the major sects to overcome this difficult situation."

"Okay! Let's do it!" Kong Xiangren, the dean of Tianyan Academy, said in a deep voice. The fact that his son and his family of three were all missing made him feel like his heart was burning with anger. "Let's go together and capture that damned monster and rescue our child!"

After everyone had made up their minds, they decided to set off immediately. Liu Xin said to Situ Yingyue, the only young man left from the three major sects present, "Yue'er, this journey is full of dangers. You should stay here with Master Pei. Otherwise, if you get into danger, we may not be able to distract ourselves to protect you."

"No!" Situ Yingyue shook her head firmly, "I want to go with you and rescue Yun'er!"

"Senior Liu, your considerations make sense, but what if that great demon suddenly returns to this hotel?" In order to realize his plan, Pei Xuan naturally opposed the arrangement of staying behind. "How about this? The seniors will lead the way, and Miss Situ and I will follow behind, keeping a distance."

Liu Xin hesitated for a moment, then turned his gaze to Situ Yi. Seeing his wife nodded, he agreed to Pei Xuan's proposal: "Okay, you guys just follow behind. Don't go too far, but don't get too close either."

Shen Hongyuan, Kong Xiangren, Situ Yi, and Liu Xin, who had heavenly cultivation, chose to fly with swords, while Situ Yingyue and Pei Xuan, who had lower cultivation, could only find a car. Situ Yingyue drove and Pei Xuan sat in the passenger seat.

Xiyin is located far out in the city, and it takes a long time to drive there.

Situ Yingyue was as taciturn as her biological mother Situ Yi. She stared straight ahead and concentrated on driving the car. This silent awkwardness made Pei Xuan feel very uncomfortable.

"Ms. Situ, thank you for driving." Pei Xuan said to Situ Yingyue, unwilling to be lonely. "I haven't got my driver's license yet."

"You're welcome." Situ Yingyue's voice was a little deeper than her biological mother Situ Yi's, but it still had a kind of ambiguous magnetism, especially when the volume was low like now. "I should be thanking you for bringing news about Yun'er."

"You're welcome. This is what I should do." Pei Xuan smiled slightly. "Since you're so worried, you must have a good relationship with your sister, right?"

"Very... okay?" Situ Yingyue was stunned and hesitated for a moment. "I can't say she's very good, but we are sisters connected by blood after all, so naturally I'm worried about her safety."

"Is that so?" Pei Xuan asked curiously, "I thought you were sisters of the same age who grew up together and had a very deep bond."

"Yun'er and I... have very different personalities." Situ Yingyue pondered for a moment, then slowly began to speak. "My personality is like our mother's---a bit reserved and unsociable. Yun'er, on the other hand, is like our mother's---generous, cheerful, and adept at socializing. From childhood to adulthood, we've never quite gotten along."

"Mother?" Pei Xuan hesitated slightly, "Mom?"

"Oh, you don't know, do you? Yun'er and I both call my biological mother"Mother" and her biological mother "Mom." Situ Yingyue noticed Pei Xuan's doubt and explained to him, "If you don't distinguish them, it's easy to get them confused."

"Oh, I see." Pei Xuan nodded. "Then you two may not necessarily be incompatible. Aren't your mother, Senior Situ, and your mother, Senior Liu, very compatible?"

"As partners, having complementary personalities might be a good thing." Situ Yingyue shook her head, "But as sisters, as friends, having such a huge personality gap is very troublesome."

Having said that, Pei Xuan drew a different conclusion from Situ Yingyue's subtle expression and tone. What Situ Yingyue said was definitely not the whole reason.

"Is it just a personality clash?" Pei Xuan feigned an innocent demeanor, revealing a gentle and tolerant smile. "Is there something else going on? Miss Situ, you appear so kind, yet you have a difficult relationship with your own sister. You must have suffered a lot of injustice, haven't you?"

"It's... it's okay..." Situ Yingyue looked a little embarrassed after hearing Pei Xuan's words. She couldn't help but turn her head to look at Pei Xuan, and met Pei Xuan's fake sincere eyes. Her defenses relaxed, and her true feelings gradually came out, "...Actually, it's not just a problem of personality itself. What's more important is the different treatment of us by the people around us because of our personality. Since childhood, Yun'er has been more popular than me, with more friends. Sometimes my mother and I pay more attention to her. Everyone respects me, even fears me, while Yun'er can win their love, even..."

"Even?" Pei Xuan took over the conversation softly, encouraging Situ Yingyue to continue with his eyes.

"Even..." Situ Yingyue showed a bitter smile, "Even the person I first liked later became Yun'er's girlfriend. Until today, she doesn't know that I liked her..."

Situ Yingyue and her younger sister Liu Xunyun have the same figure, both are plump and tall. In terms of appearance, the elder sister is dignified and handsome, while the younger sister is graceful and beautiful, and it is difficult to tell who is better.

But Situ Yingyue failed miserably in love, so it was inevitable that she felt resentful.

Pei Xuan sighed in feigned sympathy, "I see... Miss Situ has worked really hard."
