After becoming a Taoist partner with my senior sister, my master changed

Chapter 403 Ranking

With Qiu leading the way, all the tedious procedures and processes were skipped, and Lin Chuan and his group went directly to private room No. 1 on the top floor.

"Sir, I have other things to do, so I'll take my leave now."

Qiu bowed slightly and spoke softly.

"Wait, are you feeling better?"

Lin Chuan stopped Qiu who was about to leave, and asked with a hint of concern in his eyes.

"Thank you for your concern, sir. I am now fine."

Qiu lowered his eyes slightly, his expression respectful.

"You helped me last time, if..."

Before Lin Chuan could finish his words, Qiu interrupted him by shaking his head slightly.

"It is my honor to be able to help you, sir. I still have a mission to complete, so please do as you please."

After saying that, Qiu turned around without hesitation and left the private room.

"Why are you talking to her? She's just a maid and can't decide anything."

Li Yue lay lazily on the couch with a relaxed look on her face, completely different from the nervous look she had just had outside.

"..."

Lin Chuan slowly took off his mask, walked to the couch, sat down gently, and leaned into Li Yue's arms.

He talked about this with Qingshu, but Qingshu didn't react much, saying that it was Qiu's job and there was no need to pay attention to it.

"This is an auction, so behave yourself."

Looking at Lin Chuan in her arms, Li Yue narrowed her eyes slightly, a faint blush appeared on her face, and she scolded softly.

"Know it."

Lin Chuan responded, found a comfortable position, and slowly closed his eyes.

"By the way, why were you suddenly more nervous than me when we were outside earlier?"

Li Yue said as she gently poked Lin Chuan's shoulder.

"I met an acquaintance."

Lin Chuan slowly opened his eyes, frowning slightly. When he thought of the pair of lavender eyes staring at him, a strange thought came to his mind:

She recognized me.

However, Qingshu had previously said that as long as he didn't hang around Xu Hanyi, no one would be able to see his true face, and he also felt that Baizhi didn't recognize him. This made him feel conflicted, and he didn't know how to judge.

"An acquaintance? Is it another close female friend?"

Li Yue noticed something strange about Lin Chuan, a hint of suspicion flashed across her eyes, and she spoke tentatively.

"Ah."

Lin Chuan nodded and chose not to continue hiding it.

"..."

"Which number am I?"

Li Yue was silent for a moment, then asked in a quiet voice.

"Number..."

Just as Lin Chuan was about to speak, Li Yue quickly reached out and covered his mouth.

"Let me ask you another question. Where does my cultivation rank?"

Li Yue looked at Lin Chuan seriously.

"third."

Lin Chuan was stunned for a moment, and after a brief pause, he gave an answer.

"That means I'll be ranked behind her and Xu Hanyi. Okay, from now on I'll be third. This ranking can only go up, not down, otherwise..."

The corners of her mouth curled up slightly, and her warm breath gently brushed past Lin Chuan's ears. She said slowly, "I will make you our common sister."

"What if they don't agree?"

Lin Chuan raised his head and looked at Li Yue, with a hint of mischief in his eyes.

"Let them come to me and see if they can beat me."

Li Yue curled her lips nonchalantly.

"What if one of them calls for reinforcements?"

Lin Chuan raised his eyebrows, a hint of teasing flashed in his eyes, and continued to ask.

"Reinforcements? It's like everyone needs them. If I really can't win, I still have your master. She will definitely help me."

Li Yue frowned slightly and said after thinking for a moment.

"What if Master helps her but not you?"

Lin Chuan raised the corner of his mouth slightly and asked the question slowly.

"Impossible, unless..."

Li Yue's words were suddenly interrupted. Her eyes widened, her face filled with shock and suspicion, and she blurted out, "Could Wanying also be your Taoist partner?"

"Ah."

Lin Chuan nodded gently, his expression calm.

"..."

Li Yue was speechless for a moment. After a moment of silence, a complicated look flashed in her eyes, and she asked, "Does Xu Hanyi know?"

"Master knows."

Lin Chuan looked at Li Yue and answered seriously.

"That shouldn't be the case. With her stubborn temper, how could she possibly separate you?"

Li Yue frowned slightly and muttered to herself, her face full of confusion.

"But Master did indeed agree that Senior Sister could be my Taoist companion."

Lin Chuan pursed his lips slightly and spoke softly.

"Is it because we're good friends? Then, she should agree with me, right?"

Li Yue frowned slightly and fell into deep thought.

……

Auction building, outside the building.

"Fairy, please come in. You are in room two on the third floor."

The maid had a gentle smile on her face. She bowed slightly, made an invitation gesture, and then led the way.

Behind her, a woman with long lavender hair followed quietly.

The woman had a graceful figure, and her plain long skirt swayed gently in the wind. The light golden silk thread embroidered on the hem of the skirt was faintly visible in the dim light.

Suddenly, the woman with lavender hair paused, slowly turned her head, and looked at the woman in the yellow skirt who was walking out the door.

"Sister, please stay."

Bai Zhi flashed and stood firmly in front of Qiu.

"I wonder if the fairy has anything you need me to do?"

Qiu had a perfect smile on his face and bowed slightly.

"I just saw my sister lead in a man wearing a mask and a woman wearing a veil. I don't know which private room they are in. I want to go and get to know them."

Bai Zhi had a gentle smile on her lips, her expression was full of friendliness, and she spoke slowly and calmly.

"I'm sorry, we can't disclose the guests' information." Qiu bowed slightly and declined politely.

"It's okay, we've met before, do you remember, sister?"

Bai Zhi raised the corners of her lips slightly, smiling brightly, looking at Qiu with gentle eyes, and said softly.

"remember."

Qiu nodded slightly.

"I know your young master. I want to go find him. Can you take me there?"

Bai Zhi tilted her head slightly and spoke sincerely.

"..."

Qiu was silent for a moment, still maintaining a polite expression on his face. He bowed slightly again and said, "I'm sorry, I don't know where you are."

"It's okay, sorry to bother you, sister."

The fleeting change in his expression made Bai Zhi even more certain of her guess.

Without further ado, she turned around gracefully, walked lightly with lotus steps, and continued to follow the maid in front of her as if nothing had happened.

But not long after, she ran into her old friend again.

"Bai Zhi? Why are you here too?"

Jiang Wanying stared at Bai Zhi who was walking towards her, her brows slightly furrowed.

"Come and see what's going on, and see what good stuff there is."

Bai Zhi raised the corners of her lips slightly, with a faint smile, and spoke softly.

Xu Hanyi glanced at the two people who were talking like sisters, her expression calm and her tone indifferent: "You guys chat, I'm going to the private room."

Ever since that trip to the northern border, she had harbored a grudge against Bai Zhi and didn't like her very much. However, her two apprentices were both close friends with Bai Zhi, so even if she had a problem, she couldn't easily express it.
