Chapter 28: Spy
Around the same time that Jian Shen left the Han Clan to go back to the palace, Wei Yan who was dressed in black from the top to bottom like always had reached the Heavenly Resource Pavillion where Wuying was anxiously waiting for her.
As soon as Wei Yan stepped inside her room, Wuying jumped to her feet and was started bombarding her with various questions.
Not interrupting her master, Wei Yan waited until Wuying calmed down. And then told her what she found out from following Jian Shen today.
Once Wuying had heard about everything that Wei Yan had seen inside the Han Clan, her anxiousness completely disappeared, and her face turned dumbfounded for a while.
Finally, she burst out and shouted at the top of her lungs, while her clenched fists kept on punching into the air showing her frustration.
"I can't believe that I've fallen in love with a womanizing playboy. He's literally having sex with every woman inside the Han clan! "
Listening with her head down, Wei Yan didn't know why, but she ended up saying, "For what it's worth master, I don't think he is a playboy."
Shooting Wei Yan a glare, Wuying asked her, "Then what is he doing having sex with so many women? Doing charity by satisfying them?"
Keeping herself from laughing, Wei Yan said, "I'm sure you've already guessed it Master, but I'll say it anyway. The boy seems to be growing strong from having sex, therefore he is having sex with every woman possible. And my guess is that he only recently discovered this, since he didn't show any such behaviour even until a week back."
"Also from what I've seen, it isn't just the first time he has sex with a woman which lets him grow stronger. So him not coming to have sex with you and increase his cultivation faster, is most likely since he doesn't want to use you due to the feelings he has for you. "
Not saying anything for a while, Wuying began believing in the Wei Yan's words, since she had the same thoughts for Jian Shen not coming back to have sex with her.
"You really think so?"
"I really do, Master. Be it in strength, beauty, or background, none of any women here can even come close in comparison."
"Hmmm... You're right. Jian Shen loves me too much to use me and grow strong. Also, you're attracted to him, aren't you?"
Wei Yan smiled from hearing the first half of what Wuying said, but the smile got frozen after she heard the remaining.
"I.... How... How did you know, Master?"
Not bothered by how awkwardly Wei Yan was speaking, and she had her leg pointing in the direction of the door to run away when she needed, Wuying calmly spoke.
"Why else would you try to defend him so much."
"I swear Master, I haven't touched Jian Shen at all! I don't even plan o..."
Stopping Wei Yan who was turning more flustered by the second, Wuying said, "Enough. Forget about it. Just... I hope you know where to stop yourself."
Sighing from the fact that her Master didn't seem to mind too much, and just gave a light warning, Wei Yan nodded her head.
"Definitely Master! I only enjoyed observing him from far, and never planned on doing anything about it. It's just that he is so handsome and cute at the same time, that I couldn't help but..."
"Stop! If there's nothing else you need to report to me, you should leave now."
Not wanting to hear how even her assigned guard was looking like a love struck teenager towards the man she chose, Wuying wanted to get rid of Wei Yan and be alone. But Wei Yan wasn't done yet.
"There is something else I need to tell you, Master."
"What is it?"
"Someone else had been spying on Jian Shen from a while back, and after witnessing what happened today, I slipped on top of the shed due to which the other spy saw me."
"And?"
"And... I killed him and disposed of his body."
Nodding her head since Wuying agreed with Wei Yan's decision, she was curious to know who was behind the spy.
"Do you know, who sent the spy?"
"No, Master. I had to get rid of him quickly without making a commotion, therefore there wasn't enough time to capture him and interrogate him."
While it was regretful, Wuying didn't condemn Wei Yan, because it seemed like that was the best course of action to take in the situation she described.
"Fine. Stay more alert from now on. And if any other spy shows up, capture them immediately. I want to know who dares to spy upon my Jian Shen. "
"As you wish, Master."
"You can leave now."
Not saying anything more Wei Yan left the Heavenly Resource Pavillion to find Jian Shen and keep a watch over him, while Wuying was conflicted about how to feel.
Was she supposed to be happy for Jian Shen since he was able to grow strong fast, or sad that he was truly turning into a dual cultivator who would have sex with any woman as long as she was strong?
Also, why was he so handsome!
Couldn't he be less handsome, so that she'd be the only woman in his life?!
