At dawn, Su Jingyi stood in the courtyard, feeling the early morning moments. The cool breeze gently caressed her, lifting her dark hair, and causing her robe to flutter, revealing her flawless and fair skin. She looked like a mythical water nymph in this moment.

However, this ethereal being, descended to the mortal realm, was now filled with sorrow and longing. Her expression was imbued with a sense of melancholy, like a deep palace's resentful woman yearning for love and care, both desperately desiring it and enduring the pain of not receiving it.

"I long for you like the full moon…" Su Jingyi muttered the words he had said to her before, which were both subtle and sincere. And as she remembered their experiences from yesterday, especially being held tightly in his arms, the strong and firm chest, the playful and mischievous hands, the sweet and melodious words…. her cheeks flushed with a hint of blush.

"Why hasn't he messaged me yet? Is he embracing some demoness and forgetting about me?" Su Jingyi picked up the spiritual mirror and her expression was filled with anxiety and resentment. The thought of a certain demoness clinging to her little scoundrel made her heart burn with unspoken jealousy.

This scoundrel talks sweetly to me during the day but enjoys romantic escapades with a demoness at night. How could I fall for such a fickle man? Qingshuang was right; I should stay away from you!

While she was grumbling in her heart, the spiritual mirror suddenly lit up, pulling Su Jingyi's thoughts back. She eagerly glanced at the mirror, and upon seeing the message from Lu Xun, a light smile involuntarily curved her lips. It was the sweetest smile.

Lu Xun: Since we parted, I've been thinking of our reunion, and I've dreamed of you so many times.

"You wretched guy." Su Jingyi's heart, like her surname, had completely melted. She had been completely smitten, not only by his eloquence, but also by his deep affection. A simple sentence was filled with endless thoughts of her. At this moment, Fairy Su wished she could summon her flying sword and go find her little scoundrel immediately. However…

"That infuriating demoness! She's got her claws on him! And… And…" The more Su Jingyi thought about it, the more she burned with anger. Yet, she was helpless in the face of the situation. In fact, upon closer reflection, she had seized the opportunity to enter this situation herself and had taken away Miao Fengxian's man halfway. But then again, it was the demoness who provoked her. If she hadn't said that I couldn't have him, I…I wouldn't have done this.

"Someday, I'll steal him back from you," Su Jingyi, with a dark expression, gritted her teeth and vowed.

Angry as she was, she couldn't keep her little scoundrel waiting too long. She began to write a message in her spiritual mirror, but the words quickly piled up, almost exceeding the mirror's capacity. After writing, she reread it several times and felt it was too much.

"Why did I write so much? Would it make me seem like a bitter woman?" Su Jingyi furrowed her brow, and after some thought, she removed a significant portion of the message, leaving a concise question to maintain her mature and aloof image.

The message Su Jingyi sent to Lu Xun was simple. She asked when they would begin the lessons again.

When Lu Xun saw the message, he instantly realized that this lady had definitely edited the message, as the first sentence was about missing him, while the next one inquired about his lessons. The contrast was striking.

"When would we begin the lessons again?" It didn't seem likely in the near future, given that Xuan Yin had just come out of seclusion. Naturally, he needed to attend to her. Also, it appeared that the little fox would be coming out of seclusion tomorrow. He'd have to make time for her too while managing the emotions of the big demoness to prevent her from getting angry.

Lu Xun pursed his lips, thought for a while, and then wrote a message in the mirror.

On the other side, Su Jingyi was eagerly awaiting Lu Xun's response, thinking he must be dying to meet her. However, when she saw the message in the mirror, she almost fainted from anger. She bit her lip hard and muttered to herself, "Saying he missed me so much, and this is all I get?"

As her voice fell, she waved the spiritual mirror back. She stood there alone, continuously complaining about that certain someone. But soon, her anger subsided. In fact, Lu Xun's situation was quite embarrassing. He had to please the demoness and also make sure she was happy. It must be quite a headache for him.

".."

"Why am I making excuses for him?" Su Jingyi realized, gently biting her lip and muttering, "This scoundrel. I'm not even worth his time after all the sweet words from yesterday."

As she spoke, her face showed a hint of discontent. "What's so great about that Miao Feng? You can't even sleep with her; all you can do is kiss and hug. And although I don't have a snake tongue, I can…"

Speaking of which, her cheeks became fiery hot.

Back in her residence, Su Jingyi took off her nightgown and put on a loose and simple Daoist robe and headed to find Zhao Yueyan, accompanied by her maid.

As she strolled through the palace, Su Jingyi had a slight feeling of restlessness and disarray within her. Her maid, Xiao Lu, sensed her mistress's unease but hesitated to speak.

Just then, a group of eunuchs came toward them, a total of six men, led by a grim-looking eunuch with a sinister demeanor.

"Master Su," the leading eunuch respectfully greeted Su Jingyi.

Su Jingyi nodded and left directly, leaving the eunuchs discussing among themselves.

"Master."

"These damn eunuchs are gossiping about you behind your back," Xiao Lu cautiously remarked.

Su Jingyi didn't say a word but walked with light steps towards Zhao Yueyan's residence. Her previous restlessness and disarray had been replaced by a faint but profound sense of murderous intent. She had long wanted to eliminate the undesirables in that group of eunuchs but couldn't find a suitable reason to do so. She couldn't just unleash a killing spree like Miao Fengxian.

When she arrived at Zhao Yueyan's residence, she entered the palace and saw that the girl was still asleep. She didn't want to disturb her, so she sat at the desk, lifted the teapot, poured herself a cup of tea, and took small sips.

Silently, she took out the spiritual mirror and wrote a message on its surface.

At the same time, Lu Xun sat in the hall, sipping his tea and looking at the message Fairy Su had sent. He couldn't help but smile and whisper to himself, "Hmm, my dear Aunt Su is getting cuter by the day."

Fairy Su: Little scoundrel, do you miss me?

Lu Xun pursed his lips and quickly wrote a love message.

Su Jingyi squinted her eyes and savored his words, relishing this newfound sense of anticipation for his messages.

Lu Xun: I didn't want to talk to you about this, but the wind told me it could go see you in my place. At the same time, I realized that my heart is supposed to be mine, but it's filled with you.

Su Jingyi stared at the spiritual mirror in her hand, her eyes filled with longing, excitement and a hint of impulse and desire. She had never felt such a strong desire to throw herself into his arms, to inhale his scent, and to feel his embrace.

This scoundrel… He's so skilled at sweet-talking women. Only the demoness and I fell for it, right? Su Jingyi lightly bit her lip, feeling some doubt and confusion.

After hesitating for a while, she asked him the question.

Fairy Su: How many women have you had? Why are you so experienced in sweet-talking?

After waiting for his answer for a moment, the mirror in her hand lit up with a ray of light.

Lu Xun: Although there may be thousands of things in my heart, in the end, it's only for you, Aunt Su.

Even a composed woman like Su Jingyi would eventually fall for Lu Xun's sweet words. She looked at the short sentence, her longing for him was like a torrential flood, and as Miao Fengxian had said, if she were to tear away her facade of seriousness, it would reveal her surging desires.

This little scoundrel… His false words and tactics were probably used on her too, right? But they sound so nice. I really like his sweet words, even though I know they're fake. They make me happy, and I don't mind.

Su Jingyi wrote ‘scram' on the mirror, blushing as she put it away. She touched her cheeks with a slight warmth in her face. His casual words always managed to disturb her emotions. It seemed like she had truly fallen in love with him, unable to extricate herself.

"Even though I've known him for such a short time, it feels like we've been deeply in love for years." Fairy Su's happinss and sweetness was mixed with curiousity and puzzlement.

As she spoke, Su Jingyi felt extreme dissatisfaction with Miao Fengxian. Without her, she might be snuggling in the arms of Lu Xun right now. However, if it weren't for her, she probably wouldn't have met him.

"Ah, this is an inextricable mess," Su Jingyi sighed deeply, her face full of sorrow.

Just as Fairy Su was feeling disheartened, she suddenly noticed a mirror on the dressing table. It wasn't an ordinary mirror; it was a spiritual mirror.

"Why does Yueyan have a spiritual mirror?" Su Jingyi frowned, slowly stood up, and walked to the dressing table. She picked up the mirror and examined it carefully, lost in thought.

Concerned about Yueyan's safety and fearing she might go astray, Su Jingyi wrote a message on this spiritual mirror.

"Come to me outside the capital, and come quickly."

Lu Xun, who was enjoying his tea, suddenly felt warmth in his chest, thinking that Aunt Su had come to find him again. However, when he summoned the spiritual mirror, he discovered it was from another source.

".."

"Is this trouble?"
