Chapter 15 - Chapter 15 Hmm... Senior Brother is so naughty! _1

Watching Su Bei's gaze fixed in this direction, Dan Wulan's icy eyes swiftly shifted away from the book in front of her. Her three thousand strands of white hair were pinned carelessly with tassels, a warm jade dangling hairpin inserted askew at her hairline. The delicate arch of her brows held a hint of spring. The half of her face obscured by the book still exuded a solitary and cold beauty as she said indifferently, "Why are you looking at me?"

Her voice, clear and bone-chilling, seemed to bring a layer of frost and snow to the entire first floor of the Sword Concealing Pavilion with those words. The temperature seemed to drop countless degrees! Her gaze carried a sliver of pride, giving off a feeling of being unattainable. That backward glance was like a plum blossom standing proudly, undeterred by the cold.

Su Bei subconsciously shivered and mumbled to himself, It just can't be her. Has this Ninth Junior Sister suffered some kind of trauma?

Then he put on a gentle smile, looking at Dan Wulan and spoke softly, "Nothing. What book is Ninth Junior Sister reading?"

Dan Wulan glanced at Su Bei indifferently and remained silent, her gaze returning to the book.

Silence fell.

Su Bei smiled awkwardly. He had already guessed it. Normal, very normal!

He casually picked up a book, pretending to read. In reality, he quietly pulled out *The Protagonist Must Cultivate This Technique*, hiding it behind the book in his hand, and turned to the second page:

"A Cultivator can only read this Cultivation Technique once!"

"Are you sure you are the Child of Destiny?"

"If you proceed to read the contents of this book and your destiny isn't strong enough, the book could even be damaged due to some unpredictable external forces!"

"Even so, do you still decide to continue reading?"

At this point, Su Bei's gaze wavered slightly with hesitation. After he took Xiao Ruoching as his Disciple yesterday, the system had given him the title of Child of Destiny. It said it boosted his destiny value to its maximum! But Su Bei had not put this to the test. Besides, this book was chosen for Xiao Ruoching. If the book was damaged because his destiny was lacking, due to some indescribable external force, what then?

As for whether the book is just made up? That has nothing to do with him.

Su Bei firmly believed that even if he casually drew a sword mark on the ground and told his Child of Destiny Disciple that it contained limitless profundities of The Way of Sword Mark, his Disciple would likely comprehend a thing or two from it. The dealings of a genius are just that unreasonable.

With this thought, Su Bei's eyes suddenly brightened! Right! How did he not think of this before? Back then, he should have drawn a circle with his sword on the ground, then headed to the Sword Concealing Pavilion. Perhaps by the time he returned, his Disciple would have already sensed his Way of Sword Mark! But it wasn't too late now.

Su Bei glanced around and then placed down the book with *The Protagonist Must Cultivate This Technique* sandwiched inside. Taking *The Protagonist Must Cultivate This Technique* with him, he hurriedly left the Sword Concealing Pavilion.

My Disciple, your master is showing you a great treasure...

「...」

Shortly after Su Bei left, Dan Wulan slowly put down the book in her hands in a corner. The beauty was like jade, her charm transcending mere cosmetics!

Suddenly, an untimely voice shattered the serene, picturesque silence, "Ninth Elder, you... ahem, your book seems to be upside down."

A Sword Sect Female Disciple blinked her large, expressive eyes, looking with puzzlement at the copy of *Brother, Please Fall in Love with Me* that Dan Wulan had placed upside down on the desk. Then she stuck out her tongue, speaking cautiously and tentatively, "Ninth Elder... it seemed you were looking at Fifth Elder all this time..."

Dan Wulan's eyes were detached as she looked at the Female Disciple, and instantly, the sound of sword cries echoed throughout the first floor of the Sword Concealing Pavilion. A terrible aura immediately spread throughout the hall. In the depths of her eyes, there was a glint as if stars had burst forth in the firmament. The next instant, the Longsword was already resting against the Female Disciple's neck, "Forget what you saw."

The Female Disciple shivered in fear, swallowing hard as she looked at the frosty woman before her, stammering, "I... I didn't see anything!"

Dan Wulan let out a cold snort, sheathed her Longsword, and with hands clasped behind her back, squinted her eyes and said eerily, "What book was I reading?"

"It was... the *Sword Sect's Milky Way Sword Scripture*!"

"Did I behave unusually today?"

"No... no abnormalities. You were just reading the whole time."

Dan Wulan eyed the Female Disciple from head to toe and nodded in satisfaction, "Hmm, you may leave."

The Female Disciple nodded hastily, patted her wildly beating heart, and turned to walk toward the exit of the Sword Concealing Pavilion. This terrifying presence feels like it's going to devour me! The Ninth Elder is simply too frightening! What kind of woman is she? Why must women make things difficult for other women? If she wants to be ridden by the Fifth Elder, she should just say so! Why act as if she's destined to be alone forever? The Fifth Elder definitely won't like her acting like this!

Before she had gone far, the faint voice of Dan Wulan once again reached her ears, "What is that booklet in your hand? Bring it here for me to see!"

The Female Disciple, reluctantly holding the booklet, turned back and slowly handed over the small booklet in her hand.

Dan Wulan frowned slightly as she took the booklet. She looked it over, examining the content described within. The next moment, her eyes seemed to suddenly brighten, and the corner of her mouth elegantly curved up, forming a beautiful arc. A droplet of crystal-clear liquid slowly trailed down from the corner of her lips, connected by a thin, shimmering thread. But she quickly composed herself, stiffened her expression, wiped the corner of her mouth, and after a brief moment to gather her words, scolded, "Who gave you the authority to investigate the private matters of a Sect Elder? I am confiscating this booklet! No next time! Do you hear me?!"

The corner of the Female Disciple's mouth twitched slightly. If only, Ninth Elder, you could keep your drool off my booklet, I might have believed you. Talking with such righteous indignation! Who would have thought that the Ninth Elder had such a side to her in private! But what choice do I have? As they say, one must bow their head when under another's roof. After all, she's an Elder.

「...」

Dan Wulan watched as the Female Disciple's figure grew distant. Then, she carefully looked around, ensuring no one was paying any attention to her, before tiptoeing toward the spot where Su Bei had been reading moments earlier. She gently sniffed the scent left behind by him and let out a contented, wistful sigh, "Mmm~"

Her brows instantly relaxed, and a flush of intoxicating redness spread up her jade neck. After a moment's thought, with a flick of her jade hand, she pulled out the very book Su Bei had been reading.

Upon seeing the title of the book, a blush rose rapidly, coloring Dan Wulan's exquisite face crimson. In that moment, she felt her cheeks burning. *How to Make the Cold and Aloof Junior Sister Fall in Love with Me?*

Senior Brother actually likes such books!

Likes the cold type?... Likes junior sisters?... Likes me!?!?

Mmm... Senior Brother, you're so bad!!

THUMP THUMP—THUMP THUMP—

Dan Wulan covered her flushed face, her heartbeat like a drum, her lips murmuring, and her eyes darting about in panic. Her tender hand remained inside her sleeve, caressing the booklet she had snatched, her thoughts drifting who knows where...
