Chapter 20 - 20. Diplomatic Relationship
"Of course its…Le Fangling!!..." The girl, Qiqi ended her sentence after shouting out the name.
'What? What? Whaaatt?' Pei Fan thought he was hearing things when he heard the name.
He had at the very least expected to hear the name of Senior sister An Cheng who was epitome of beauty and talent alike.
Ahemm.,,but that aside, he really had not expected to hear the name of the newest junior sister of all people.
"Why will you even think that Qiqi?" Pei Fan gasped in surprise and asked, his eyes growing wider every second as he tried to express his shock.
'I mean yeah, she is ho…I mean seems like a beautiful face but…" Pei Fan almost gave himself away by spilling his true thoughts.
Qiqi's voice broke down in small and tiny whispers as she answered him, trembling a little while her hand was balled up in a fist.
"Because she is young, beautiful and looks really classy…." Her voice trailed off as she thought about the young girl who she saw for a bit when she was passing near to the entrance of the Sect.
What more, she had also seen Pei Fan with his fellow brothers there looking with interest at the arrival of the new beauty.
Since she had to wash the clothes and also clean the yard, she had left the scene immediately so she had no idea what happened after she was gone.

But now she heard him speak that the new girl was indeed a beauty and….
"You.." Qiqi gave a low whimper as she stared at Pei Fan with a hurt expression on her face.
The atmosphere here was tensed and filled with anxiety as Qiqi and Pei Fan continued looking at each other in silence.
….
As for the situation inside the bush, it was a little more different.
'I just heard them call out my name, didn't I?' Le Fangling contemplated on what just she heard.
'No way, did I get found out this easily?' Le Fangling froze in whatever position she was in. She could neither run away nor she could stay there.
'Should I just dash away from here?' A thought entered her mind.
But if she was already found out and yet tried to just run away from it, she knew her reputation will get much more tarnished than what it already was.
But there was always a big "BUT" in people's life.
'But if I try to come out clean….Won't they know that I heard all of their pa pa pa….' She knew she was going to be definitely called a pervert by those two people.
'The people in this world are too perceptive!' Le Fangling thought. She even had some ability called as good as dead but that too was not enough for these two cultivators to find her presence.
'I should make things clear with them, if it's the last thing I do." Le Fangling knew she should, by no means make peace with them and if possible reach a consensus that can benefit both parties.
'But what if they try to attack me?' She was still hesitating on whether she should tell or not, after all considering how weak the girl Le Fangling was, she doubted she can come out uninjured.
Sigh…. She stopped to listen to them and found that they seem to be mumbling something to each other.
'Well, I can tell them that me being here is just a coincidence.' She nodded her head at this option that was not far from the truth, since she was the one who had been here all along.
"Right!!" Le Fangling was set with her option and made a determined face.
She stood up from where she was hidden, maintained a diplomatic smile on her face and gave a friendly wave
"Hello there!" In a cheerful voice she greeted the two naked bodies that were staring at each other.
'Eekk…the situation is quite tensed here…' She gulped down her nervousness and maintained a diplomatic face.
She had never been the type of person who could act like a social butterfly or even strike up a conversation.
"A lovely night, isn't it?' She walked towards them and stopped at a distance of few meters from them. Although her voice sounded a kind of awaked, her harmless smile made up for her clumsy coming out of the bush.
Hearing the sound, both of the people who were seated on the ground turned to look at Le Fangling and became….
They became speechless as they tried stared at the young maiden walking towards them.
'Are they waiting for me to apologize?' She felt the situation was somehow odd but she decided to follow the basic protocol of diplomatic relationship.
She raised her arms up in the air and announced with and determined face.
"Senior brother, senior sister, I mean no harm."
"And yes, I, I….I.. definitely did not mean to spy on you!!" She managed to speak out.
"Ohh…haha..sorry about this too.." Le Fangling jumped back a little when she realized she had stepped on their clothes.
'Phew…done..Now all I have to do is wait for them to clear their misunderstanding of me.'
Le Fangling averted her gaze away from the two wide eyed faces that were glaring at her and once again gulped down her saliva out of nervousness.
But….
*Silence*
Le Fangling could only hear the noise that the crickets in the forest were making.
'Did this plan fail?' She let out a disappointed and depressed sigh at the result she got. Now all she could do was wait for them to reply and see if there was even a small chance of truce.
.
The girl who was sitting on the field, aka Qiqi was the first one to snap out of her startled condition.
After realizing there was someone else and that someone else was looking at them she let out a sharp cry.
"Arghhhh...A pervert!!" Qiqi let out a cry of surprise.
The man who was trying to understand the sudden appearance of Le Fangling and her words (that he was trying to digest) also came back to reality due to the sharp cry of Qiqi.
"You…You..who are you?" The man cried out at Le Fangling as well.
"Wait, you…I have seen you somewhere…" He did a quick search in his memory and when he did, his face was filled with light as if he just had an enlightenment.
"You…you are the new girl…" He quickly recognized her face even though the only light that they had at the moment was from the moon.
"You mean, Le Fangling?" Qiqi who had been clasping her cheeks in shock had another layer of shock added to her face.
