Beautiful Women Are Out of Fashion

Seeing Master's smile that could not be concealed, Chu Yanran finally endured her own curiosity.

Lin Qingying watched Tang Xiaoyu's back and supported her chin with both hands: "Is this what it feels like to be doted on?"

Then covering her face: "Oh my! How embarrassing!"

Seeing her master talking to himself, not knowing what he was thinking about, and shyly covering his face, Chu Yanran finally couldn't stand it anymore.

"Master, what's going on with you? Having spring fever?"

Lin Qingying glared at her: "You should call me sister now. I've been single for so long, so what if I'm having spring fever!"

As soon as Chu Yanran heard this, her eyes lit up: "Auntie, I'm going to tell Father and the others about this."

"I've told you countless times, don't call me auntie anymore once you leave home. If others know about it, how can I still manage the sect?"

"There will be too much idle gossip when it's time for you to take over as sect leader."

The ties within the sect are very serious. After all, outsiders are not as reliable as one's own family. This is something Lin Qingying saw through early on.

What Heavenly Pride, Heavenly Chosen One, the more extraordinary the person, the more unreliable they are. Because these people only care about themselves, the sect is just their stepping stone.

Chu Yanran, should be Lin Yanran, was changed to Chu Yanran to avoid suspicion.

"Sister, you are robbing the cradle!"

"Pfft, what do you know, I'll ask Xiaoyu later to see what he says."

Lin Qingying suddenly thought of something and stared straight at Chu Yanran: "Yanran, your looks are no good! Xiaoyu didn't even look at you directly."

"Hey! My charm is still the same as before!"

"Auntie, can you stop being so narcissistic? I'm no less than you. He just didn't see me clearly."

"Didn't see clearly? You'll know soon."

Just as the two were bickering, Tang Xiaoyu came over carrying things.

"Third sister, here are some things you like to eat."

Then he put two glasses of fruit juice in front of them: "This is the fruit juice I just squeezed."

Lin Qingying picked up the cup, took a sip and praised: "It's so delicious."

"Brother Tang, I really like this fruit juice."

"That's good if you like it. Just let me know if you want to drink it."

"Okay."

Lin Qingying pointed to the spot next to her: "Have a seat."

Tang Xiaoyu sat naturally next to Lin Qingying.

"Is my cousin beautiful?"

Tang Xiaoyu honestly replied: "It's not an exaggeration to say she is a beauty that can bring down a nation."

Chu Yanran looked at Lin Qingying proudly.

But Lin Qingying was not angry at all. Instead, she asked, "So between her and me, who's more beautiful?"

Tang Xiaoyu struggled. Should he ignore his conscience or be truthful? Then he said, "In my eyes, you are the most beautiful. As for in other people's eyes, I don't know."

Chu Yanran was quite proud at first, but after hearing this she immediately became unhappy: "You're lying. What's beautiful about my cousin? Are you blind?"

Tang Xiaoyu didn't want to continue this: "A beauty that I cherish is priceless. Your cousin is the most beautiful woman in my eyes, so what! Just because she's beautiful, everyone should coax her and praise her?"

Chu Yanran had never been treated like this before. For a moment, she didn't know how to refute him.

Not only did Lin Qingying not comfort her, she poured oil on the fire: "Oh! Some people just can't see themselves clearly! Thinking they are beautiful, everyone should revolve around her."

Then she picked up a pastry and brought it to Tang Xiaoyu's mouth. Tang Xiaoyu ate it casually and stood up saying, "You two chat, I have to get back to work. The dishes and wine will be here soon."

"Alright, go on and get busy!"

The interaction between these two was simply rubbing salt in Chu Yanran's wounds.

Pointing at Lin Qingying: "You two are going too far! Just wait until I find a man thousands or tens of thousands of times stronger than him. Let's see what you can compete with me with then!"

Chu Yanran was so angry that she became incoherent and didn't even know what she was saying.

Lin Qingying paid her no mind: "Then go ahead and find one! Let's see if the one you find is as good as Xiaoyu. For now, just bear with it!"

"What kind of elder sister are you?"

"What did I do? I think I'm doing great!"

Unable to refute, Chu Yanran said: "Hmph! Ignoring you now."

Old Zhou and Wang Ziyan stood outside for a while. Feeling it was about time, they walked into the Orchid Pavilion and headed straight for Lin Qingying's table.

As the two sat down, Wang Ziyan asked, "Aren't the food and drinks ready yet?"

"Xiaoyu has already arranged everything. We don't need to worry about it."

Seeing that Chu Yanran was in a bad mood, Old Zhou asked, "What's going on here?"

Lin Qingying laughed and said, "Kids throwing tantrums. She'll be fine after a while."

The few of them chatted about daily life. Leaving Chu Yanran by herself to sulk.

Seeing no one was paying attention to her, Chu Yanran could only comfort herself: [I won't get angry. Getting angry will only make me a laughing stock. When I find my knight in shining armor, let's see if they still dare look down on me.]

Just as Chu Yanran was comforting herself, music sounded from the stage.

Lin Qingying and the others immediately became spirited. Out of curiosity, Chu Yanran shifted her gaze towards the stage.

She saw Tang Xiaoyu slowly walking onto the stage.

"A song for everyone, 'It's All the Moon's Fault'."

Chu Yanran disdainfully said: "Pfft! The moon's fault. Why don't you say it's the sun's fault?"

Lin Qingying and the other two turned to look at her, giving her a look of contempt before turning their heads away and ignoring her again.

Chu Yanran was so angry her teeth hurt, but she could only endure it.

As the music started, Tang Xiaoyu's expression also began to change with the music.

"It's all your fault, for making me fall in love with you so easily."

"Letting me unknowingly satisfy the vanity of being loved, it's all your fault."

"Your doting is a kind of temptation."

Upon hearing this, Lin Qingying nodded in agreement: "It really is all Xiaoyu's fault."

Old Zhou and Wang Ziyan had listened to this song not just once or twice. They waved their hands and sang along with Tang Xiaoyu.

Hearing this song, Chu Yanran only felt it was nice listening. She didn't understand the meaning behind the lyrics at all. Seeing the reactions of the other three, she curled her lips.

"I admit it really is the moon's fault."

"The night was too beautiful and you were too gentle."

"In that fleeting moment, I just wanted to grow old with you. I admit it's the oath's fault."

"Your words were sickly sweet and most touching."

"No matter one's will of steel, it would also become tender around the finger."

At this point, Lin Qingying stood up and waved her hand, singing along with Tang Xiaoyu.

Chu Yanran pulled Lin Qingying and said: "Sister, pay attention to your image. Where are your manners?"

But Lin Qingying didn't care at all, she was just happy.

When the song ended, Lin Qingying sat down and asked: "What were you saying just now?"

Chu Yanran said without any spirit left: "Nothing, as long as you're happy then it's fine."

"Yanran, when you're out having fun, don't let yourself be shackled by notions. Being happy is the most important thing. Isn't our cultivation to pursue carefreeness?"

"Sister, what you said makes a lot of sense, but I still feel something's not right."

"Think about when you were little. Do you still feel something's not right?"

Recalling her childhood, Chu Yanran instantly understood.

Then, Tang Xiaoyu gained another fan.

As more guests arrived, the atmosphere became more and more lively.

While there were quite a lot of prodigal sons with arrogant and aloof dispositions, no fights broke out. Not for anything else, but because everyone gave Tang Xiaoyu face.

If there was a quarrel between two groups, as long as a few bottles could resolve it, it was considered insignificant. If not, then bring out a few more bottles.

They were all regulars here, even if they didn't know each other by name, they were at least familiar with the others.

Were there no incidents of fighting over a woman out of jealousy? Of course there were, and that woman was Wang Ziyan.

After a few bottles from Wang Ziyan, everyone became obedient. From then on, they all treated her as a brother. This made Wang Ziyan feel frustrated for a long time.

Just then, someone came over to greet them.

"Ziyan, come over later for a few bottles. I brought a friend who can really drink. Guaranteed to drink you under the table."

Then to Old Zhou and the others: "Uncle Zhou, Sister Lin."

Old Zhou nodded in response. But Lin Qingying joked: "Recovered from your wounds so soon?"

The youth was unwilling to admit defeat: "Sister Lin, do you want to try? Even if you get Brother Tang to join, I can still drink you all under the table."

"Since you said it, get ready."

Then waved at Tang Xiaoyu. Tang Xiaoyu came trotting over.

"What's the matter?"

Lin Qingying pointed at the youth and said: "Xiao Wuzi here said he can drink the both of us under the table."

Tang Xiaoyu looked towards the youth: "Move some tables out of the way. How do you want to drink?"

The youth immediately cowered: "Brother Tang, I was just joking with sister-in-law! Don't take it seriously."

Neither of them corrected the term "sister-in-law". They were used to it by now and didn't dislike being called that anyway.

Tang Xiaoyu laughed and scolded: "Consider yourself sensible, I'll come over to have a drink with you guys later."

"Great! Brother Tang, come over sooner!"

"Got it."

After that, Tang Xiaoyu bid farewell and left.

Lin Qingying looked at the youngster: "Little Wuzi, still bragging?"

Xiao Wuzi pounded his chest and stamped his feet: "You can't afford to play with me. Think about how handsome, elegant, romantic, humorous, kind-hearted and loyal my Brother Tang is. How could he have found you to be his sister-in-law? I feel bad for Brother Tang."

Lin Qingying's face turned fierce: "Say that again?"

Xiao Wuzi shuddered, and quickly changed the subject: "Sister-in-law, who is this girl? She looks really charming."

"Get lost."

Xiao Wuzi quickly shut his mouth, "Don't get angry, I'm leaving now."

He didn't linger on Chu Yanran at all.

This made Chu Yanran very upset. She screamed in her heart: [You were supposed to pay attention to me when you changed the subject! And what was with that glance without any reluctance to leave? Does it mean I'm very ugly?]

These situations could only be blamed on Tang Xiaoyu. Once Tang Xiaoyu drank too much, he would brag to Xiao Wuzi and the others.
