"But is it really alright for Martial Uncle Fu Shi to be dressed in a maid outfit?"
Qin Suying had no problem with Liu Bai, but Shi Bao's maid outfit was too strange.
"No problem... Just tell your master and senior sister that she's helping me out."
"Won't it help in bed?"
"Am I that kind of person?"
"Who knows..."
Qin Suying looked Liu Bai up and down with a playful gaze.
"Alright, in that case, I'll go and tell Master and Senior Sister that."
"Okay, go ahead. And tell Chaoyu to come and chat with Fu Shi more often if you have something to do."
"Should I tell... Senior Sister?"

She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.
"That's it."
After Qin Suyi and Li Sushang finished telling Su Mei what had happened, Su Mei couldn't help but reveal a smile that sent chills down their spines.
"...Senior sister, you're smiling like a villain."
"Well said, I'll arrest you two and stew you in soup tomorrow." Su Mei brewed herself a pot of tea.
"Hmm... then we're done here, right?" Qin Suying asked cautiously. "I still need to go and tell my master about the situation."
"Go talk to your senior sister first." Su Mei tapped the table. "Su Yi, sit down."
"...Senior Sister?" Qin Suying dared not disobey and carefully sat down opposite Su Mei. "Why should I tell Senior Sister first?"
"Because it's rare for Mr. Liu Bai to show concern for Senior Sister," Su Mei said with a smile. "Su Yi, what are you going to say when you see your Senior Sister?"
"Um...retell it truthfully?" Qin Suying asked cautiously.
"No, you should tell her, 'Mr. Liu Bai misses you and hopes that you can visit his room sometime, Senior Sister.'"
"Wait a minute, isn't this distorting the facts!"
Li Sushang, who was standing next to her, was dumbfounded when she heard this.
“It is a distortion of the facts, but did I do anything wrong?” Su Mei blew on her tea and smiled. “And Su Chang, you sit down too.”
“Eh… Meng Woqi thinks, isn’t this a bit much… Shan…” Li Sushang and Qin Suyi sat down cautiously, “Isn’t this just randomly pairing people up?”
How did you know I randomly selected the numbers?
Su Mei took a sip of tea and glanced at Li Sushang, as if trying to see through Li Sushang's heart.
"Su Chang, what would you like to order?"
"..."
Is this a statement that we should accept?
Li Sushang shrank her neck.
At this moment, Qin Suying suddenly realized something.
"Su Yi, it seems you've come to your senses?"
"Yes, Senior Sister, do you want to marry off Senior Sister so that she can naturally become the next sect leader?"
"..." Su Mei almost sprayed the tea in her mouth onto Qin Suyi's face.
That brat has quite the imagination.
"What use is the Taixu Sword Sect to me?"
Su Mei said in an annoyed tone.
"Seven or eight big cats and small cats, looking glamorous but actually just an ordinary Taixu Sword Sect?"
Does someone like her need the Taixu Sword Sect?
It's true that the Taixu Sword Sect is her home, but it also constrains her.
But if she really wanted to get away, would it make a difference to her whether the Fu Hua above was emotionless or emotional?
No difference.
"If I weren't worried about you guys... never mind, if you like to overthink things, then go ahead and think that way."
Su Mei shook her head helplessly.
"Then when you see your master, do you know what to say?"
"...Mr. Liu Bai misses you very much and hopes you can visit him more often?"
"I'm teaching you to apply what you've learned to other situations, not to just copy blindly."
Su Mei rubbed her forehead, then gently tapped the table.
"You should relay this truthfully."
"Eh?"
"A completely accurate retelling—including the part about Mr. Liu Bai telling my senior sister to talk to my uncle more often."
"Eh?"
The two people, one big and one small, are both quite dumbfounded.
What is this scenario?
Why do you tell the truth one minute and lie the next?
Could this also be part of a "framing" scheme?
"...Wait, if that's the case, why go to my senior sister's room first?"
Qin Suying suddenly paused, as if she had thought of something.
"Is Senior Sister's room... right next to Master's room?"
First go to the senior sister's room, then pass on the seemingly false but actually true information to your master...
Liu Bai's words were somewhat ambiguous, and his senior sister was also quite enthusiastic about him.
With the slightest misunderstanding, this could be interpreted as Liu Bai saying to his senior sister, "I have a cat at home that can do backflips, do you want to come and see it?"
Most people probably know what this means—most people probably wouldn't believe there's a cat that can do backflips.
The same principle applies to identifying treasures.
It's suspicious on its own, yet he still disregarded the rules, going to the senior sister's room first and then to the master's room.
Because of the room's layout, Fu Hua even had a small chance of directly overhearing her conversation with Lin Chaoyu.
In conclusion, it's pretty obvious what my senior sister is up to...
My senior sister is building a chain of suspicion!
"...Wait a minute, senior sister, isn't this going a bit too far?"
Qin Suying's head was sweating a little. If her senior sister fell out with their master, it would be no laughing matter.
"Is it big?" Su Mei gave a slightly coercive smile. "It's okay, junior sister, if you don't want to do it, you don't have to, but..."
"But what...?"
Qin Suyi was a little flustered. The only people who could really make decisions in the family were Su Mei and Lin Chaoyu. In comparison, Lin Chaoyu was more beloved, while Su Mei had more say.
Offending my second senior sister... seems like a big problem!
"It's nothing. Suyi, you should go back and rest." Su Mei seamlessly switched to a doting smile.
"Wait a minute! Senior sister! You can't do that!"
Just woke up, there will be a make-up update today.
This kind of thing always happens when I'm writing late at night...

Chapter 326 Su Mei: Junior Sisters, you can choose your factions
"So, Xiaoshi is currently working as a maid in Liu Bai's room?"
Fu Hua's expression remained unchanged after hearing Qin Suyi's message.
"By the way, did you just come out of Chaoyu's room? Did you two only tell her what Liu Bai asked you to convey?"
Fu Hua tried to keep her tone casual.
But she cares a lot... she really cares a lot.
If anyone else had visited Lin Chaoyu beforehand, she probably wouldn't have suspected anything.
But who is Qin Suying?
They were two of her most beloved students, alongside Cheng Lixue.
Generally speaking, if something really happens, Qin Suying will definitely not avoid involving herself.
Now they're actually going to Lin Chaoyu's room first...
Especially the matter of Liu Bai asking her to relay a message to Lin Chaoyu sounded somewhat...
Fu Hua's rationality told her that Qin Suyi wouldn't lie to her.
But her emotions told her that she might really have been deceived.
This kind of self-doubt is the most deadly.
"Of course, that's how it is."
As a well-behaved girl, Qin Suying was under a lot of pressure when she lied to Fu Hua for the first time.
(Wait a minute, my senior didn't say how to deal with this situation!)
"Really?"
"I really...I really don't know."
"What do you mean?" Fu Hua was momentarily confused by the answer.
"It means... I don't know."
"Your way of speaking is quite illogical, isn't it?"
"I do not know."
Qin Qunsu's "I don't know the cold way" became more and more fluent as she spoke, and the dance model's ambiguous answer successfully reduced her sense of guilt.
The doubt in Fu Hua's eyes was clearly growing stronger.
"Su Yi, has anyone ever told you that you can't lie?"
"Eh? This..." Qin Suyi opened her mouth slightly, but didn't know what to say.
Qin Qun, dressed in plain clothes, was very quick-witted and swore that her master had seen through her lie and that it was definitely not a big lie she had told!
Oh no! This chain of suspicion is really going to succeed!
Damn it! Second Senior Sister! Was this part of your plan too?!
Do I need to explain...? But my second senior sister is also quite terrifying in some ways...
Su Mei is actually very popular, after all, she and Lin Chaoyu raised the others together. Lin Chaoyu was responsible for raising them, and she was responsible for teaching them.
That's why Qin Suyi sees Su Mei as timid and obedient—there's no real oppression, just suppression from the food chain.
"Alright, Suyi, I understand your predicament. You can go out now."
Fu Hua sighed helplessly.
Without a doubt, Qin Suying's guilty reaction at the end showed that Lin Chaoyu had instigated her to lie to her.
(They clearly agreed that they would never waver under Su Mei's offensive...)
A hint of gloom appeared in Fu Hua's eyes.
