After familiarizing herself with Brother Pei's temperament, Ye Liyuan mastered a near-perfect sense of propriety.
She never used her status as his junior sister to brazenly seek him out at his residence. Instead, she limited their meetings and conversations to the designated sword practice area.
Yet, she always found subtle ways to care for Pei Yuhang, nourishing their relationship in silence as she worked to draw them closer.
For instance, she would meticulously arrange every sword on Pei Yuhang's usual rack by length. The meditation cushion Brother Pei favored was always in its proper place, and even the Spirit Tea she poured for him was kept at the most ideal temperature.
She wore her disguise to perfection—appearing obedient and innocent, sensible and earnest, diligent and hardworking, and filled with reverence for her senior brother's power.
And toward Brother Pei himself, she harbored "no improper intentions whatsoever."
