Honkai Impact 3rd, but I have too many mods.

Su Mei raised an eyebrow, a teasing expression with a hint of "malice" on her face.

"...Do you actually have someone you like?"

"Chao Yu!" Fu Hua was really overwhelmed by Su Mei, and even though she felt utterly hopeless, she had to ask Lin Chao Yu for help.

However, Lin Chaoyu maintained that slightly stiff smile and didn't say a word.

"Is this Mr. Liu Bai?" Su Mei continued to ask.

"..." Fu Hua took two deep breaths and calmed down from the panic of the reversed Heavenly Gang.

I can't give any answer now, because any answer I give might give Su Mei a clue.

"It seems I guessed it right."

Su Mei smiled.

"..." Upon hearing this, Fu Hua's mind did indeed flash through Liu Bai's image, and then she recalled her own submissive demeanor during the drug's effects... This made Fu Hua's heart waver.

—Of course everyone knows Liu Bai. If Su Mei and Fu Hua mentioned Liu Bai, it would be a problem if Fu Hua couldn't think of Liu Bai. It's even more normal that she would associate the topic with an embarrassing incident related to him.

Fu Hua's favorability rating: 5254

Liu Bai: "?"

"If that's all you wanted to say, then please leave."

Having failed to get help from her eldest disciple and beginning to waver, Fu Hua could only steel herself, but this steeliness seemed to be ineffective in Su Mei's eyes.

“Master, you should understand the saying ‘time waits for no one’ better than your disciple.”

After leaving behind such a meaningful sentence, Su Mei got up and left with Lin Chaoyu, leaving Fu Hua alone in deep thought.

After leaving the house, Lin Chaoyu's stiff smile faded, and she asked hesitantly, "Is it really okay to treat Master like this?"

She was actually fooled...or rather, persuaded by Su Mei.

Because it concerns their master's happiness, Lin Chaoyu and Su Mei are at a disadvantage due to their inherent disadvantage.

However, Lin Chaoyu was, after all, the senior sister and a semi-outsider, so she had a clearer view of things and was not completely fooled.

Su Mei didn't insist. She just told Lin Chaoyu that she didn't need to do anything, just keep smiling and see how her master performed.

Lin Chaoyu's question now clearly indicates that he has realized his master might actually have some feelings for Liu Bai.

—Of course, the only person Fu Hua could turn to for help looks like a traitor; it would be strange if she didn't waver.

"Didn't Master say anything?"

“…That’s true, I never expected Master to have this side to him.” Lin Chaoyu smiled as she thought of Fu Hua’s performance just now.

If it were her former master, she would probably have been coldly rejected if she had said this to him.

"Senior sister, which master do you prefer?"

"Of course, it's the present one." This question made Lin Chaoyu smile wryly. Who wouldn't like a kind and approachable master?

Of course, the treasure-hunting method is out of the question; it would make Lin Chaoyu feel like she's the mother.

"That settles it. Keep up the good work, and we'll have another grandmaster."

"...Are you alright?" Lin Chaoyu looked at Su Mei's relaxed expression and decided to ask the question that had been on her mind, "Su Mei, you also like Mr. Liu Bai, right?"

This might not be very obvious to Fu Hua.

But as the senior sister who raised her... no, even if she wasn't her senior sister, Lin Chaoyu felt she could see that.

(Is my junior sister... sacrificing her own happiness for Master's happiness?)

"Ah, I like it." Su Mei revealed a rare, candid smile.

"Then you..." Lin Chaoyu was momentarily lost in thought.

To her, these junior sisters were practically like daughters—well, Ma Yanqing was like that before she went astray—Su Mei's current frank attitude made Lin Chaoyu feel a little uneasy.

My junior sister... must have gone through a very difficult internal struggle before choosing this approach.

Second junior sister...

"So I can wait until my master finishes teaching before I go on my turn."

"……Eh?"

Wait, did I just hallucinate?

Lin Chaoyu began to doubt her ears.

Su Mei still wore that open and honest smile.

"Even Kong Rong gave away pears, so it's not unreasonable for a disciple to give away her husband, is it? Once the pears are eaten, they're gone, but if the husband is eaten, there's still more."

Su Mei's smile returned to normal, now tinged with a hint of mockery.

—Then what he said made Lin Chaoyu doubt his ears.

How come I didn't know you were so open-minded, junior sister?!

Even in feudal society, your words are a first-rate remnant!

Even they could only tolerate Liu Bai's polygamy—concubines were clearly not an option.

But you should at least have some basic morals, right?

The disciple and master sharing a husband... This, this...

Okay, at least the master and disciple aren't related by blood...

—That's not good at all! This is practically inviting universal condemnation!

"...Are you just putting on a brave face?" Lin Chaoyu looked at Su Mei with concern, feeling that something was wrong with Su Mei.

"Senior sister, if you need anything, I can let you go first."

"..."

Has my dear junior sister really gone awry somewhere?

"On another note," Su Mei suddenly thought of something, which sent a chill down Lin Chaoyu's spine.

My senior sister is a very conflicted person. She is mature enough, but... to put it nicely, she is nostalgic; to put it bluntly, she is too naive.

We always fantasize that the status quo can remain unchanged... but we are often forced to change by the status quo.

Well, I actually knew this all along, you could say I knew it all too well.

Looking at my conflicted senior sister... I can't help but want to kick her.

Other groups don't need to be trained; they'll figure it out on their own. But this senior sister thinks that if she doesn't kick the machine at this stage, others will be eating meat while she's still slowly eating grass in the same spot.

It's always like this...

Then, amidst Lin Chaoyu's horrified gaze, Su Mei raised the corners of her mouth and chuckled softly:

"Senior sister, you're not getting any younger, are you? Have you ever considered... competing with Master for a man?"

Chapter 258 The strong humiliate the weak

"Kafka, you went out with Mr. Liu Bai yesterday, didn't you?"

Just as the Taixu Sword Sect was urging people to get married, Liuying stopped Kafka.

—For some reason, Liu Ying has a bad feeling lately.

“Yes, we have a meeting, and then we conduct on-site inspections.” Kafka showed her usual calm smile.

"Do you want to do an afternoon and an evening of field research?" Although it sounded a bit unreasonable, Liu Ying really cared about it.

She now even felt that there was malice in Kaffa's smile.

"Isn't that abnormal?" Kafka countered. "When we were on missions before..."

“That’s different!” Firefly interrupted Kafka. “There’s no need to stay out all night here!”

Liu Bai and Kafka staying out all night... This matter, if considered in a slightly unconventional way, fills Liu Ying with dread.

"Oh dear~ Not coming home all night?" Kaffa's eyes began to show aggression. "Are we naughty kids thinking of something bad again?"

Ah...oh no, I suddenly feel like putting a collar on Liu Ying so she can see me and Liu Bai doing it...

No, no, it's better not to do this to the child.

S-attribute greatly suppressed!

"Huh? I... this... um..."

"Could it be..." Kafka smiled and made an "insert" gesture.

"...No, shameless!" Liu Ying blushed and waved her hand abruptly. "Who would think of such a thing—!"

"Why are you so excited... Hmm, as the old saying goes, action speaks louder than words. Liu Ying, you actually really want to do those naughty things with the BOSS, don't you... How many little naughty things have you done these past few days?"

"Ah—!" Firefly frantically slapped away Kafka's hand that was reaching down. "Why should I tell you!"

"Ah Ying, you don't want your secret telegram to Mr. Liu Bai to be exposed..."

"Ten...ten times."

"...?"

This time, Kafka's smile vanished and she fell silent.

Ah, she was just teasing Liu Ying casually.

Are you really that sexually active?

...It seems that in some places there is indeed a saying that people who are sick or weak are more vigorous in this regard.

"...Which day?"

Kafka asked thoughtfully.

She asked, "How many little mischiefs have you done these past few days?" and Ying answered ten times.

There are many, but if you spread them out over these few days, it doesn't seem like that many—but Kafka's intuition tells her that this might not be the total.

Sure enough, upon hearing this, Liu Ying's face turned bright red all the way to her ears.

"……yesterday."

"And the day before yesterday?"

"Ten, thirteen times..."

"You need to be more restrained, Aying." Kafka felt that this girl was really... speechless.

Although there's a saying on Earth that "there are only overworked oxen, not fields that are over-plowed," we still have to let the oxen plow, right?

Why am I generating electricity for myself here?

...Hmm, even though saying that makes me want to do it again, I feel even more like it.

Kafka tried to calm her inner turmoil.

"Thinking of Mr. Liu Bai really..."

Liu Ying's hands were slightly restless.

"..." Kafka looked at Firefly, who seemed ready to ask to go to the toilet at any moment, and was unusually speechless.

"Let's just go find the BOSS directly."

"Huh? Go...go directly to Mr. Liu Bai?" Liu Ying asked, somewhat flustered.

"Although you can't pin the BOSS down now, you can still take off his clothes."

Kafka taught sincerely.

The saying "a woman pursuing a man is as easy as piercing a veil" is no joke. As long as you are proactive enough, it's impossible to remain unmoved even with a woman in your arms. Besides, Liu Bai has no intention of being a saint.

However, upon hearing this, Firefly's expression turned somewhat displeased and wary—clearly, Firefly thought that Kafka was joking with her.

...Has my image in this child's eyes become so bad?
