Chapter 23
0
Correct

Qiao Wan thought that while it may seem a bit disadvantageous to claim Gan Nan as her grandfather, she could still accept it.
0
Correct

According to their ages, Gan Nan
0
Correct

could be her great-great-grandfather.
0
Correct

Gan Nan suggested, "Then... how about becoming siblings?"
0
Correct

Qiao Wan shook her head, "Being 'brother' and 'sister' has a strange connotation."
0
Correct

Deciding to do it, Qiao Wan ran back inside and asked the scholars in the academy for a bottle of wine.
0
Correct

Although the disciples of Qingyang Academy were each doing their own things inside, curiosity got the better of them, and their gaze unintentionally drifted outside when they saw Qiao Wan running off to get a bottle of wine.
0
Correct

What could she want with the wine?
0
Correct

Was she planning to drink it for fun under the moonlight?
0
Correct

Several disciples of Qingyang Academy curiously approached the door.
0
Correct

The problem was that they seemed to have a very pure relationship, and it didn't seem like there was any affair going on.
0
Correct

The following development completely surprised them.
0
Correct

They watched as Qiao Wan brought a jar of wine and opened the seal in front of them.
0
Correct

They became sworn siblings, not grandparents and grandchildren. Even though they said they were grandparents and grandchildren, in the end, they could only settle for being siblings.
0
Correct

Facing the moon, Qiao Wan and Gan Nan bowed several times to show their respect and shared a jar of wine.
0
Correct

They finally established their sibling relationship, no, their grandfather-granddaughter relationship.
0
Correct

Qiao Wan couldn't make a blood oath due to the cold poison in her body, so they had to give up on it with some regret.
0
Correct

They had seen couples going out to meet late at night, but they had never seen a couple coming over late at night to pay respects as siblings.
0
Correct

The Qingyang scholars: ...
0
Correct

What they didn't expect was that Qiao Wan raised her head and calmly called out, "Grandfather."
0
Correct

The Qingyang scholars: ... Did they miss something?
0
Correct

The young man covered his face and accepted his fate.
0
Correct

His father always urged him to marry a princess as soon as possible, so that he could have grandchildren as soon as possible.
0
Correct

Now... even though he didn't marry a princess, he should at least have a granddaughter.
0
Correct

After becoming sworn siblings, Qiao Wan didn’t forget about the dragon scale in the corner of her eye and asked, "Can it be removed?"
0
Correct

"Removed?" Gan Nan said, "Removing it might be troublesome."
0
Correct

"Very troublesome?"
0
Correct

The young man hesitated and covered his face, "That is the marriage contract of my Xuanhu Water Clan, which... requires quite a bit of effort. I need to go back to Yangxu Mountain to find some herbs to remove it."
0
Correct

When he tried to poke Qiao Wan's eye with his finger, he never expected that Qiao Wan would refuse so quickly.
0
Correct

Now, being questioned by Qiao Wan, Gan Nan was tormented in his heart, and the pride of a five-hundred-year-old virgin dragon was once again shattered.
0
Correct

Gan Nan: "Hm."
0
Correct

Qiao Wan fell silent for a moment, "Then what's the point of being sworn siblings?"
0
Correct

Being sworn siblings while holding a marriage contract, in the eyes of others, were they pretending to be siblings or engaging in incest?
0
Correct

Gan Nan said, "I... I will return to Yangxu Mountain as soon as possible to find the herbs."
0
Correct

Perhaps this was the only solution for now.
0
Correct

Qiao Wan didn't think too much about it. Since she couldn't remove it for the time being, she could only leave it as it is for now.
0
Correct

As soon as she entered the cave, the young man was immediately stopped by his elder martial sisters.
0
Correct

"What's going on?" The elder martial sister was frustrated, "You finally had a girl come to find you, why did you become sworn siblings with her?"
0
Correct

Gan Nan: "No, we're not becoming sworn siblings, we're doing it for the grandfather-granddaughter relationship."
0
Correct

0
Correct

When Qiao Wan returned to her residence from Changkong Cliff, it was almost dawn.
0
Correct

As soon as she stepped into her cave, Qiao Wan looked up.
0
Correct

There was a frail and withered man sitting by the stone table, in front of a lamp.
0
Correct

The man raised his head, his eyes reflecting the glow of the candlelight.
0
Correct

"You're back?"
0
Correct

Qiao Wan trembled for a moment: ... I'm sorry, I disturbed you.
0
Correct

She had completely forgotten about Elder Martial Brother.
0
Correct

Just as she took a step out of the cave, the man coughed and raised his sleeve, firmly restraining her like a ghost.
0
Correct

Qiao Wan twisted her body and silently used her agile footwork.
0
Correct

Even though Lu Pihan was sickly, with just a glimpse of her eye, he understood what she wanted to do.
0
Correct

"Run?" The man's icy fingertips fell on her collar, giving it a tug.
0
Correct

Lu Pihan coldly said, "Still running?"
0
Correct

Lu Pihan lifted Qiao Wan and pressed her back to the table.
0
Correct

"See for yourself."
0
Correct

Qiao Wan looked up.
0
Correct

The man furrowed his brow, freeing one hand and swiftly lifting his own clothes, starting to untie his belt...
0
Correct

Lu Pihan pressed Qiao Wan's hand on the table with one hand, and she quickly closed her eyes. "Elder Martial Brother, we can't do this! It's not right!"
0
Correct

The man rolled his eyes and untied the jade slip from his waist.
0
Correct

Snap—
0
Correct

It was thrown in front of her.
0
Correct

"See for yourself."
0
Correct

Qiao Wan leaned forward and looked.
0
Correct

The ink on the jade slip refreshed quickly.
0
Correct

"Shocking! Qiao Wan meeting with a naked disciple of Qingyang in the dead of night!"
0
Correct

The jade slip also had a "Souvenir Image" attached.
0
Correct

【Image (fragile and weak little white dragon)】【Image (blurry bird-walking picture)】
0
Correct

Qiao Wan continued to read, and the content of the headlines was basically no different, revolving around her and Gan Nan falling from the sky in disheveled clothing and engaging in fierce discussions.
0
Correct

It was said that Qiao Wan and Pei Chunzheng had a past relationship, but now that Martial Sister Mu had returned, was Qiao Wan searching for a new love? Although they were all cultivators and didn't pay much attention to worldly etiquette, this was still quite scandalous.
0
Correct

Her reputation was tarnished.
0
Correct

Lu Pihan said, "Finished reading?"
0
Correct

"I... finished."
0
Correct

Lu Pihan, like her father, asked coldly, "Don't you have any thoughts about this?"
0
Correct

Qiao Wan blurted out, "I never expected to be so popular within the sect."
0
Correct

If her magical girl career had started now, it might still work.
0
Correct

Lu Pihan glanced at her, his gaze fixed on the dragon scale at the corner of her eye, and asked in a deep voice, "Marriage contract."
0
Correct

"Elder Martial Brother," Qiao Wan struggled, "I can explain, please listen to me first."
0
Correct

Lu Pihan let go of her.
0
Correct

Under the resolute gaze of the man, Qiao Wan didn't dare to hide anything and honestly revealed everything.
0
Correct

"You also accepted being someone's grandchild?" Lu Pihan asked calmly.
0
Correct

Lu Pihan's eyes, like ghost eyes, looked deeply at her.
0
Correct

Qiao Wan frowned, "Not really, we became siblings through a ceremony."
0
Correct

Calling him grandfather was just her talking nonsense.
0
Correct

Lu Pihan didn't respond to her. He took out a jade ball and tossed it into the air.
0
Correct

Although Ma Huaizhen was older than him in terms of seniority, they had always been on equal terms.
0
Correct

This time, Lu Pihan was especially direct, asking him what was going on.
0
Correct

After he called someone over to push the wheelchair and came back, he was suddenly married and had accepted a grandchild.
0
Correct

Upon hearing Lu Pihan's words, the man in the jade ball laughed so hard that his half-bitten face looked even more distorted.
0
Correct

"That's not bad," Ma Huaizhen took a breath and pretended to be serious. "Accepted a grandchild for yourself."
0
Correct

"Even though I didn't marry." Ma Huaizhen touched his chin and smiled, "Having a grandchild isn't bad either. By seniority, can I also get some spirit stones?"
0
Correct

Lu Pihan's eyelid twitched as he took back the jade ball into his sleeve. He reached out, supporting her head, and rubbed her eye corner vigorously, frowning.
0
Correct

"We need to find some herbs in Yangxu Mountain to remove this marriage contract," Qiao Wan said, looking down.
0
Correct

"So, you're planning to bear with it?" Lu Pihan breathed heavily, his eyes sharp as a knife.
0
Correct

Qiao Wan touched the dragon scale on her eye corner and said, "It seems like there's no other option for now..."
0
Correct

Before she could finish her sentence, she suddenly noticed that Lu Pihan stood up.
0
Correct

"Elder Martial Brother?!," Qiao Wan also stood up. "Are you... leaving?"
0
Correct

Qiao Wan hesitated and asked, "Go... where?"
0
Correct

The man's eyes turned sinister. "To slay the dragon."
0
Correct

As long as one of them died, the dragon scale contract would naturally be lifted.
0
Correct

Although Qiao Wan knew that Elder Martial Brother was mostly just talk, she understood Lu Pihan's ruthless and dark side, comparable to that of the underworld. She couldn't afford to be careless, her eye twitching, she quickly grabbed his sleeve.
0
Correct

"I will handle this myself."
0
Correct

Lu Pihan looked at her coldly.
0
Correct

Qiao Wan's scalp tingled under his gaze, she became serious and promised earnestly, "Really."
0
Correct

"Elder Martial Brother, I will practice the 'Cloud-Stopping Tune' that you gave me diligently. I will also study the Daoist and Confucian texts you taught me, and I've already mastered the third form of the Tai Xu Sword Technique that you passed down to me. I will finish the rest as soon as possible."
0
Correct

As Qiao Wan earnestly made promises, like a diligent elementary school student, pledging to write more practice exercises and practice piano, Lu Pihan stopped arguing with her. Her relationship with Gan Nan had become widely known in Kunshan Sect, further pursuit of the matter was of little significance.
0
Correct

After Lu Pihan left, Qiao Wan looked at the dragon scale on her eye corner in the mirror.
0
Correct

At this point, she could only bear it.
0
Correct

Qiao Wan didn't think the dragon scale was a big deal.
0
Correct

Actually... it looked pretty nice.
0
Correct

It would look even better paired with her sky blue bow, just like the mermaid makeup in the past life created by the beauty blogger.
0
Correct

After playing around with the mirror for a while, Qiao Wan thought of the Daoist texts given by Ma Huaizhen and took them out to have another look.
0
Correct

She had spent most of the night studying the texts, but couldn't make sense of them.
0
Correct

At first, she suspected that there might be some restrictions or seals in the book, but after flipping through it repeatedly, she couldn't find any. Then, she wondered if it was made from some special material, but it didn't feel like it.
0
Correct

It was such an uncomfortable feeling.
0
Correct

It was like a donkey having a carrot right in front of its eyes but not being able to eat it.
0
Correct

Qiao Wan couldn't help but sigh, realizing that she couldn't rush it.
0
Correct

If she had the chance, she might as well ask the monk in her dreams.
0
Correct

She stuffed the Daoist texts into her storage bag and stood up, taking a glance outside the cave.
0
Correct

As she walked out of the cave, she saw the sun breaking through the clouds in the distance, casting a golden light.
0
Correct

Qiao Wan remembered that there would be a lecture at Changhong Cliff today.
0
Correct

In the Kunshan Sect, the inner disciples gather every five days for a small lesson. The lessons are divided based on their cultivation levels, like classes in school. Usually, the higher cultivation level elder martial sisters and brothers teach the lessons.
0
Correct

Qiao Wan, who is at this level, has just passed the foundation-building stage. Her classes are held at Changhong Cliff and taught by Martial Brother Wen Hui.
0
Correct

It's like having a professor personally teaching at home, but going to junior high school and sitting with junior high school students. Among the disciples of the twelve peak masters, only she stands out as unique and charming at Changhong Cliff.
0
Correct

But Qiao Wan is used to it. She has a lower talent, so there's nothing she can do.
0
Correct

Everyone else is also used to it.
0
Correct

In the past, when Yuqing Spiritual Master Zhou Yan brought her up the mountain, it wasn't because of her talent, but because of her appearance.
0
Correct

While she was getting ready to leave, her communication jade tablet at her waist suddenly rang.
0
Correct

Qiao Wan unfolded the jade tablet.
0
Correct

It was her master calling her to Yuqing Peak.
0
Correct

Qiao Wan felt uneasy.
0
Correct

Could it be because of what happened yesterday?
