When they entered the physiotherapy center, Bai Yuexin happened to see a ***Black Star*** disciple in a side room.
"Brother Zhou, that would be a total of sixty spirit stones."
"Sister Bai, I've seen you here for the past few days, what's going on? Are you going to do business together as a couple in the future?" Brother Zhou asked this as he took out sixty spirit stones from his storage bag and handed them to her.
"What couple, how many times do I have to tell you? I just came to help. He couldn't do it alone, so he hired me to help him collect money."
"Well, I have to say, after the physiotherapy, I obviously felt a lot easier when I practiced the sword these days. I will come back when I have time.""Alright."
After seeing Brother Zhou off, Bai Yuexin turned to greet Pei Lianxue and Xiao Yunluo.
Just now, she was talking to Brother Zhou and didn't even notice who they were.
The moment she saw their faces and realized who they were, she froze on the spot.
Seeing her face, Bai Yuexin felt as if she had returned to the day of the sword test and once again relived the fear of being utterly dominated by Pei Lianxue.
Pei Lianxue also recognized her as the Senior who guided the sword test that day, and after a pause, she hurriedly cupped her hands.
"Greetings, Senior!!!"Bai Yuexin took a step back, startled by this vigorous shout.
Seeing her expression, Pei Lianxue thought she didn't recognize her, so she said again, "Senior, you were my examiner in the sword test before, I don't know if you remember?"
"Ah... I remember."
Bai Yuexin was a little embarrassed. How could she forget? Even if she turned into a ghost, she would never forget Pei Lianxue's face.
Xiao Yunluo looked around the store and asked. "Sister Bai, I heard from Brother Zhou that this shop was opened by you and your cultivation partner?"
"Ah... Young Miss, he is not my partner." Bai Yuexin smiled foolishly and said, "I'm just here to help. The other disciples misunderstood and passed it on and on like this. So, do both of you want to give it a try?"
"Well, what do we have to do?"
"It's very simple. Take off your shoes and sit there. The boss will press the acupuncture points on the soles and stimulate the meridians with spiritual energy. It's very comfortable after you've done it, and it helps the cultivation process too."
"It's also good for cultivation?" Xiao Yunluo raised her eyebrows and nodded. "Then, let's try it."
"But if you're not used to it, it may be painful the first time."
"That's alright."
Seeing Xiao Yunluo agree to do physiotherapy, Bai Yuexin shouted to the back room. "Anping, you have two girls!"
Hearing the word "Anping," Pei Lianxue instantly froze in place.
Before entering, she saw "*Ye's*" on the door plaque and waited eagerly, wondering if it could be her elder brother.
Her sudden arrival here might come as a surprise to him.
After coming in, when that person said that Bai Yuexin opened this shop with her cultivation partner, she was momentarily disappointed, thinking it probably wasn't her brother.
And now hearing Bai Yuexin call out "Anping"...
In just a few moments, Pei Lianxue went through "Could it be my brother?", then "Is not him," and finally, "It's my brother, but he has become someone else's cultivation partner." Three completely different moods.
At this moment, Ye Anping's voice was heard from the back room.
--- "Understood. Sister Bai, lead them to sit inside first. I'll be there after washing my hands."
That was her brother's voice.
Pei Lianxue looked at Bai Yuexin again, completely unable to accept this fact.
After a pause, Pei Lianxue asked with a trembling voice. "Senior... are you two a cultivator couple?"
"Huh?"
Hearing Pei Lianxue asking the same question again, Bai Yuexin was taken aback. Didn't she just explain it to Xiao Yunluo? Why was she still asking?
She had no choice but to explain again. "No, he and I are just friends, more like sister and brother. We really aren't a cultivator couple."
"... Really?"
"Really."
"Are you sure?!"
"... Really sure." Feeling helpless, Bai Yuexin simply raised her hand. "I swear we are not a couple."
"..."
Hearing Bai Yuexin's vow, Pei Lianxue finally managed to calm her emotions.
"Lianxue, what's the matter? Why are you asking so many times?" Xiao Yunluo asked.
"It's nothing."
After that, Bai Yuexin brought them to wait in the room reserved for female cultivators.
...
After Ye Anping washed his hands, he came from the backyard with two clean basins filled with hot water, and after opening the curtain and seeing the two people inside, he was also dumbfounded.
The two guests were actually his sister and Xiao Yunluo?
The ***Black Star*** Sect's physical exam was over today, and he was going to ask Bai Yuexin to call over his sister tomorrow to give her tuition and accommodation fees. But she found him first, saving him the trouble of asking Bai Yuexin to fetch her.
Actually, it didn't matter if his sister came, but why did Xiao Yunluo follow her here?
And why did she seem to be quite close to his sister?
In the game, Xiao Yunluo initially had an extremely withdrawn personality and a strong temper. Basically, she was a loner.
She didn't take the initiative to make friends with anyone, and she hated others getting close to her.
Even with Feng Yu Die's silver tongue, it took a whole month to melt her iceberg personality.
But that was not the issue.
The problem was, Xiao Yunluo was the key to the main storyline.
It could be said that the main story of the game "*Heavenly Sword Legend*" started from the fact that Feng Yu Die and Xiao Yunluo got acquainted. Later, Feng Yu Die got to know Yunluo's mother --- the Immortal cultivator Danyue Si Xuanji, who was called "Old Loli" by the players.
Ye Anping was quite worried right now that Feng Yu Die's identity as the protagonist had been hijacked by his sister.
After all, his sister did not have Feng Yu Die's Holy Emperor bloodline.
If she took the path of the protagonist, even with an all-knowing brother like him, there was absolutely no way to avoid a bad ending in the future.
Of course, all of this was, for the moment, just some worrisome ideas on his part.
His sister had approached the 'key' player, so she might not be the one to open the door to the main storyline after all.
Xiao Yunluo watched him come in with a basin, and remembering what Bai Yuexin said earlier about taking off her socks and massaging the soles of her feet, she frowned and asked. "Sister Bai, is he the one massaging our feet?"
"Well..." Bai Yuexin hurried to explain. "Yes, but Young Miss, don't think too much. This is really nothing..."
"How is this possible? A man touching the soles of a woman... It's too..." Xiao Yunluo blushed and asked. "How did this store get the approval? How could the ***Black Star*** Sect allow such a shop in the market? It is too much against the customary traditions!"
"Ah, this..." Bai Yuexin hurriedly said, "Young Miss, the Elder in charge of the shops has personally come and said that there is no problem. Also, he is wearing gloves when he touches the feet."
"That's still not okay, Lianxue and I won't do it!"
With that, Xiao Yunluo stood up and dragged Pei Lianxue out.
Bai Yuexin didn't manage to stop them, and before Ye Anping put down the basin in his hand, the two walked directly out of the house.
While being pulled out, Pei Lianxue looked back at her brother, hesitated for a while, and chirped. *"Chick Chick ~~ Chick Chick ~~ Chick Chick~~"*
Ye Anping heard it and couldn't help laughing. His sister said, *I will come later, wait for me*.
"Huh? Lianxue, what are you doing?" Xiao Yunluo asked with a puzzled expression.
"Nothing."
"Come on, I'll take you across the street to eat something at the tavern."
With that, the two ran out of the physiotherapy center and dashed outside into the street.
Ye Anping, who followed them out, saw them running down the street hand in hand and inexplicably had a warm feeling inside.
Although he was worried that his sister would go the way of the protagonist, he was really happy for her from the bottom of his heart after seeing that she had made a very good friend.
Bai Yuexin came out as well and sighed. "Anping, can't you think of something? A lot of people won't be able to accept you touching their feet. Think about it."
Ye Anping shrugged and said with a smile, "It's something new, and everyone will accept it slowly, no need to rush it. I can't handle too many people anyway."
"Eh? What are you smiling at? How can you still smile after losing such a big client?"
Ye Anping paused, quickly suppressed his smile, and said, "I'm not smiling. Let's close early today, I want to rest."
"Oh? It's only afternoon. Why are you closing so early today?"
"Isn't it good to rest early? Don't worry, I won't deduct your salary."
