Chapter 307 Drink 1 cup together

What does that damn girl want to do?

Mo Hanshang hung up the phone, rubbed his forehead with a headache, and became more and more impatient with Ruan Yingli.

Of course, it is possible that she does not know Mo Hanyu's identity, but to hint like this... does she really think he is brainless?

Mo Hanshang's aura became gloomy, causing Bai Shuheng beside him to glance at him sideways frequently.

"What's wrong? Why are you so angry?" Bai Shuheng asked curiously.

"…Nothing, I just feel a little unhappy about being treated like a fool all the time." Mo Hanshang frowned, thinking of the past, and glared at him secretly, "Just like you before!"

"What the hell?" Bai Shuheng curled his lips, "Don't drag me into this... I'm innocent."

"What do you mean innocent? Brothers, what are you talking about?" Bai Shutong came over curiously.

"Nothing." Bai Shuheng glanced at her and pulled her head away. "How about sparring with Xu Junyi?"

Bai Shutong's expression suddenly collapsed: "...He is simply not a human being."

"You haven't even fought with Xu Qingyun yet, and you're scared already?" Mo Hanshang teased.

Bai Shutong pouted and muttered softly: "What's the point of fighting a civil war..."

"Your brother is not participating in the competition, so he is not considered an insider. Go and fight him." Mo Hanshang nodded his chin and gestured.

Bai Shutong: ...

Bai Shutong: "Haha, I suddenly feel confident. Goodbye!"

Bai Shuheng looked at Bai Shutong's almost fleeing back, helpless, and turned to look at Mo Hanshang: "These few days... I heard that you had a fight with him?"

"No." Mo Hanshang paused and shook his head decisively.

Bai Shuheng narrowed his eyes slightly: "But I saw that you haven't gone back to sleep for two days, and he didn't come to see you... Are you really okay?"

"…What could possibly happen?!" Mo Hanshang forced himself to remain calm and refused to admit it.

"I passed by two days ago and heard you two arguing." Bai Shuheng said it out loud.

"It's you?!" Mo Hanshang was stunned at first, then turned his head away, "We weren't quarreling, that... that's called flirting! You know nothing."

"Oh——" Bai Shuheng stretched out the words, his eyes narrowed into slits, and he turned his head away as if nothing had happened, "I was just overthinking it."

"I was thinking of lobbying for you. What a pity."

Before Bai Shuheng finished speaking, he felt two burning gazes.

Mo Hanshang's eyes lit up: "Really?"

Bai Shuheng laughed: "Didn't you say it was okay?"

Mo Hanshang's expression changed faster than turning a page: "Isn't it because I'm afraid of bothering you?"

"Don't give me that. Have you bothered me enough?" Bai Shuheng rolled his eyes and then remembered something. "Did Ruan Yingli contact you just now?"

"Yeah." Mo Hanshang's expression faded when he heard this, "Tell me something happened to Qin Jiuyuan."

"Then why aren't you anxious?" Bai Shuheng was surprised. "Isn't she Qin Jinyi's sister?"

"Ruan Yingli said that she ran away with the evil cultivator. She was attracted by the evil cultivator's appearance when she was not bewitched." Mo Hanshang laughed, and his usually sunny smile looked a little sinister for some reason. "And that evil cultivator is my brother."

"Does she know?"

"I don't know, but she still said that." Mo Hanshang's eyes were full of anger, "Have I become better in the past two years? How dare these kids play tricks on me like this?"

With such a description, any relatively simple person would think along the lines implied in her words - evil cultivators are generally not good things, and Qin Jiuyuan was so attracted by his appearance that she ignored his identity as an evil cultivator. She must be a superficial person who has no sense of good and evil, and it may even affect her mentality and stance, which will inevitably cause trouble in the future.

...Is she trying to lead people to think in this direction?

A wind blew up out of nowhere, lifting the azure hem of her dress and blowing away her hair, revealing her smooth forehead, sharp eyebrows and eyes, and a powerful aura all over her body.

"You've been away for the past two years, and you've only been together for a few months since this competition. They really don't know you very well." Bai Shuheng looked at him, and although he said this, his eyes were particularly indifferent. "If I remember correctly, that Ruan Yingli admired you very much."

"Worship?" Mo Hanshang sneered, "Does she know me well?"

"It's not difficult to find out about your deeds." Bai Shuheng did not comment.

Mo Hanshang snorted coldly.

"But...how can you be sure that your brother recognized him?" Bai Shuheng was a little confused.

"My brother and Jin Yi's brother get along well, that kid must have told him." Mo Hanshang said confidently, "Even if he didn't, he must know."

How could a brother not recognize his sister?

Mo Hanshang thought so.

"...You said your name is Qin Jiuyuan?"

Qin Xiao kept a wooden expression and confirmed again and again.

Qin Jiuyuan was puzzled and nodded again: "Yes."

Qin Xiao was silent for a moment, then slowly looked at the person opposite him.

Mo Hanyu smiled slightly and said nothing.

Qin Xiao: ...

No wonder.

The three of them booked a private room, and at this time they had already ordered the dishes and were sitting on soft chairs waiting. A rectangular table could have accommodated two people sitting face to face, but after Qin Xiao and Mo Hanyu sat down face to face, Qin Jiuyuan chose to sit at the short side, equally far from the two of them, to avoid being next to anyone.

Qin Xiao looked at Qin Jiuyuan, then at Mo Hanyu, and narrowed his eyes in question.

Mo Hanyu met his gaze and kept smiling.

Qin Jiuyuan didn't understand the atmosphere between the two and wanted to reduce her presence as much as possible, but the black-clothed boy suddenly looked at her and asked, "Is Qin Jinyi here?"

"I'm coming..." Qin Jiuyuan replied instinctively, and suddenly realized something was wrong, "Why are you--?"

Qin Xiao looked at her with complicated eyes: "He is your brother?"

Qin Jiuyuan: “…Yes.”

Qin Xiao frowned even deeper.

Qin Jiuyuan looked at this strange man in confusion, and the atmosphere became heavy.

"Stop struggling, she really looks like this." Mo Hanyu said coldly.

Qin Xiao sighed deeply.

Qin Jiuyuan:?

Qin Jiuyuan touched her face suspiciously. Although she was not extremely beautiful, she was not ugly enough to make people sigh, right?

"What do you...mean?"

"Didn't you see his identity?" Qin Xiao suddenly pointed at Mo Hanyu and asked her, "He is an evil cultivator."

“…I can see that.”

"Then how dare you just follow me here?" Qin Xiao's eyes turned cold, and his tone became a little colder. "Your cultivation is not as good as ours. What if they are trying to lure you here to do evil?"

Qin Jiuyuan just felt that he was inexplicable: "Then I... will run."

"Can you run away?" Qin Xiao questioned.

"What does this... have to do with you?" Qin Jiuyuan frowned, "Who are you?"

"If I'm not mistaken, your brother."

"Even if it's my brother--my brother?!!!"

Qin Jiuyuan's voice suddenly rose several degrees, staring at him in disbelief: "What the hell are you talking about - Third Brother?!"

Qin Jiuyuan instinctively felt that he was lying, but when she met his dark eyes, the sense of familiarity suddenly returned and her mind went blank.

If she really counted, she had not spent much time with Qin Xiao. Her memories before the age of four were vague, and she had not seen him since the age of ten. Although they had talked several times before, they had never met face to face. After seeing each other this time, she could see that he had indeed changed a lot.

But it seems that only the appearance has changed, Qin Jiuyuan thought so as she looked at Qin Xiao's dark and deep eyes.

"Did you recognize me? When?" Qin Jiuyuan's eyes lit up. After not seeing each other for several years, she didn't feel alienated towards Qin Xiao at all, and still threw herself into his arms like a child.

Qin Xiao caught it steadily, but when he heard the question, he turned his face away in embarrassment and did not answer.

I just recognized it...How can he say this answer?

As a brother, he is not as good as Mo Hanyu...

Qin Xiao touched the tip of his nose and patted her gently: "Get up first, stop acting like a spoiled child."

Qin Jiuyuan came out obediently, then turned to look at Mo Hanyu: "Who is this——?"

"My name is Mo Hanyu." Mo Hanyu took off his mask and smiled at her, "You should know my brother, his name is Mo Hanshang."

Qin Jiuyuan was simply stunned.

She suddenly agreed with Ruan Yu's metaphors.

It’s really not an exaggeration!

She couldn't find the words to describe this stunning face.

While Qin Jiuyuan was in a daze, a few coughs suddenly sounded in her ears.

Qin Jiuyuan shuddered and turned her head to meet Qin Xiao's silent gaze.

"Ah, ah..." Qin Jiuyuan laughed twice to hide her feelings. She really didn't dare to look directly at Mo Hanyu, so she covered her face and said, "I, I know."

Qin Xiao looked at this rather useless sister helplessly and sighed silently.

"Well, that..." There was a gap between Qin Jiuyuan's fingers, and her eyes moved around the two of them. Thinking of the strange atmosphere just now and her guess, she asked tentatively.

"So...you two are lovers?"

Qin Xiao turned his head suddenly, looked at her incredulously, and was about to deny it loudly——

"It will be soon." Mo Hanyu took the lead and looked at her with a smile, "I believe it won't be long."

The words Qin Xiao wanted to say were stuck in his throat. He glared at Mo Hanyu, but was entangled by his light gaze. Like a butterfly that had unknowingly fallen into a spider web, he struggled to escape, but the silk threads around his body tightened until he was wrapped into a thick, white pupa... Unable to escape, unable to move.

Qin Xiao's eyebrows twitched, and the words turned over in his mouth several times, but finally he was speechless.

Qin Jiuyuan looked at the strange atmosphere, digested the information in the words, winked at Mo Hanyu, and clenched his fist to encourage: "Then you do your best!"

Mo Hanyu was happy and nodded seriously: "I will."

Qin Jiuyuan didn't think too much about it. From her observation, this person was very good to her brother. Not only was he good-looking, but he was also very capable. It would definitely be a good thing to date such a person. Her brother didn't seem to reject or hate him, so he must have a good impression of him.

Qin Jiuyuan thought about it, looked at Mo Hanyu again, and became more and more satisfied.

She looks so pretty...

"Qin Jiuyuan..." Qin Jiuyuan felt a chill on her back. She turned around hastily and met Qin Xiao's cold gaze. "Who is your brother?"

"Of course it's you!" Qin Jiuyuan smiled sweetly, "Oh, the food is here, let's eat quickly. I'm hungry."

Qin Xiao looked coldly at Qin Jiuyuan, who couldn't wait to pick up a piece of food with chopsticks as soon as the dish was served, with a sullen face and no words.

Qin Jiuyuan lowered her head and bit the piece of meat, not daring to look up at him.

Qin Xiao opened his mouth to say something when he suddenly saw a bright red shrimp on the white porcelain plate in front of him.

"Eat." Mo Hanyu placed the peeled shrimps on his plate with a pleasant look.

Qin Xiao was silent for a moment, then finally picked up the chopsticks and put them into his mouth.

The atmosphere eased and Qin Jiuyuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Mo Hanyu acted as if nothing had happened, as if he didn't notice the friction just now. His expression was still gentle, and he asked Qin Jiuyuan about her recent situation from time to time.

Although Qin Xiao did not speak, he secretly pricked up his ears to listen to their conversation.

Although Qin Jiuyuan was relaxed when facing Mo Hanyu and did not feel nervous or oppressed as she did when facing Qin Xiao, he was a stranger whom she had just met and she should not trust him easily.

However, Qin Xiao was also there and had no intention of stopping her from reminding her, so Qin Jiuyuan felt relieved and continued to talk about whatever she wanted to say, having a very pleasant chat.

But gradually, Qin Jiuyuan couldn't continue speaking.

"so spicy……"

These dishes didn't feel spicy at first, but only when you were about halfway through did you feel the burning pain on the tip of your tongue. Qin Jiuyuan frowned, took a few sips of air, and poured warm water into her mouth. The warm water rolled into her fiery throat, further arousing the rising heat and stinging pain.

Qin Xiao took a sip of tea silently, only to find that it was not cool enough.

Qin Xiao thought of something and secretly looked at Mo Hanyu, but saw that his expression remained the same. He even picked up the spiritual pepper from the plate, put it in his mouth, chewed it a few times, and swallowed it.

The slightly cool skin was still fair, without any sign of being hurt by the spiciness.

Qin Xiao was somewhat unwilling, but he did not show it. He just curled his lips slightly.

What is this? Killing fifty enemies and losing three thousand of your own?

Qin Xiao picked up the teacup again and was about to drink it when his hand was suddenly held.

Qin Xiao was stunned and looked across in astonishment.

Mo Hanyu placed his hand on the back of his hand holding the teacup, slowly grasped it, and pulled it in...

Mo Hanyu looked at Qin Xiao's red lips, his eyes gradually darkening. Facing his puzzled eyes, he said nothing, slowly lowered his head, brought the teacup to his lips, and licked the edge that Qin Xiao had drunk from.

Qin Xiao seemed to be struck by lightning. He stared blankly at Mo Hanyu who was holding his hand and drinking a cup with him. Goose bumps appeared on his hands and even arms, and he forgot to react for a moment.

Mo Hanyu did not drink it, but just gently touched the edge of the cup with his lips. The thin lips were slightly touched by the tea, and the cold air spread in the cup along with his breath. When he left, the tea had already cooled down and frost had formed on the wall of the cup.

"I think you want something cooler."

Mo Hanyu loosened his hand and let it fall back to where it was. He spoke calmly, as if it was just an ordinary little thing.

But Qin Xiao's feeling was not wrong. The vague ambiguity spreading between the walls of the cup climbed up to his fingertips along with the chill, making his heart tremble. He stared quietly at the ripples on the water surface in the cup, without saying a word.

After Mo Hanyu finished his work, he felt a little nervous. He turned around and met Qin Jiuyuan's expectant eyes, and couldn't help laughing.

"You want me to help you too?"

Qin Jiuyuan nodded like a chick pecking at rice, her head dizzy from the spiciness, and she didn't think there was anything wrong with these two people.

Mo Hanyu smiled and lightly pointed at her teacup. The next second, water droplets appeared on the wall of the cup, and the water in the cup was already cold, as if it could freeze at any time.

Qin Jiuyuan took a big gulp and felt his brain refreshed.

"I ordered a portion of ice soup dumplings for you. It shouldn't take long. If you can't eat it, you can wait a little longer." Mo Hanyu said with a smile. He felt happy when he saw this generous and lovely girl.

"Hmm? Thank you then." Qin Jiuyuan was overjoyed. "Actually, I can accept it. It's quite delicious, but a little spicy..."

"It's okay, I understand." Mo Hanyu vaguely understood the purpose of Qin Xiao inviting him here. He couldn't help but look at him, but found that the tea in his cup was empty and the color of his lips seemed to be brighter.

Mo Hanyu paused, turned around as if nothing had happened, and chatted with Qin Jiuyuan for a few more words. He stroked his lips with his fingers to cover the subtle curve of his lips.
