127 The Real Rival Has Appeared

Because of this conflict, my suspect investigation came to an end.

Xiang Qing had always been a man of few words, every day he would leave in the dawn of morning and return by dusk in the name of earning money. I didn't know why, but Yin Zi volunteered to take over the job of following Xiang Qing. The two would be away for entire days, leaving Miao Miao all alone. If not eating or drinking, I'd pass my days sleeping.

Speaking of which, the aunty at the dining hall has been treating me very well recently. Every time I went for my meals, she would pile my bowl high with rice, and even give me extra side dishes to enjoy.

Jian Nan arrived at Maoshan Sect to take over Yin Zi's position. His shape shifting skills were superb, when he impersonated Yin Zi, it was completely flawless, even his looks and attitude matched. The only problem was that Jian Nan's character was very sociable. Whenever Seventh Senior Brother visited, he would leave with a sweet smile on his face. Many of the senior brothers were surprised by this new Yin Zi, but none the less flocked to him. Some them even invited him to play in the mountains, Jian Nan readily agreed to these requests.

Contrary to what we both thought, when Yin Zi returned, he threw a fit and vowed to beat Jian Nan up. He kicked Jian Nan out, and ordered him to deal with the matter regarding Seventh Senior Brother. Yin Zi didn't want Seventh Senior Brother to appear outside anymore.

I had a very good impression of Seventh Senior Brother and the roast chicken he brought along with him. My heart had some regrets, but it was better to ease Yin Zi's anger first. To solve this matter, Jian Nan impersonated Yin Zi and went to tell Seventh Senior Brother that there was already someone in his heart. These cruel and brutal words shattered Seventh Senior Brother's heart, he was heartbroken as he asked, "Who is the person you love? Is he that much better than me?"

"I....." Jian Nan paused at this unexpected question, and then casually replied, "He is a good person. A very, very good person."

"Who is it? Is it someone from Maoshan Sect?" Seventh Senior Brother was relentless.

"No, that's not it.....he is....." Jian Nan began to panic.

"In the end, who is it?" Seventh Senior Brother continued to ask, "Please tell me who it is. Let me know who it is that is so lucky to obtain your affection."

"This kind of stuff.....how can I say it out loud." Jian Nan's head had beads of cold sweat.

"I'm begging you, please tell me so my heart can be at peace." Seventh Senior Brother's expression was extremely sad.

As Jian Nan was nearing his limit, he clenched his fists and randomly shouted, "It's Sixth Senior Brother! I like Sixth Senior Brother! Please don't tell him about this!"

"It's him? He.....really is a good person." Seventh Senior Brother stood still for a long time. His tears rolled down his face as he cried, "I'm not giving up!"

Sixth Senior Brother? Why is it so familiar? As I jumped onto the wall of our courtyard, I sat and thought about it. Wasn't Sixth Senior Brother Xiang Qing? Xiang Qing was precisely Sixth Senior Brother, was he not?

Nine streaks of lightning struck my mind, making me tremble on the spot. So it was actually Yin Zi who was my real rival of love! So it was him that wanted to steal my Shifu! No wonder he wanted to follow Xiang Qing, so.....so it was because the two are on loving terms! That's why Shifu doesn't want me anymore!

My best friend and the man I love the most are in love? How can this be endured?

Hateful! I gave a glance to Yin Zi next to me, and then pounced onto him while taking a bite out of him. Yin Zi cried out in pain, "Stupid cat! Let me go, it's not how you think! No! Just listen to me!"

"I'm not listening, I'm not listening!!" I mercilessly bit down.

"I beg you, listen to me. I'm innocent!" Yin Zi lamented.

"Meow woo~ What? How can you treat Miao Miao like this!" My eyes were full of tears as I waited for his explanation.

"Who wants to steal your man? I am also a man myself!" Yin Zi was very agitated, "It must be a mistake!"

"At most.....at most, I'll share half of Shifu with you, so don't take Shifu away from Miao Miao, okay?" I reluctantly compromised.

"I said I don't want your dumb and boring man! Even if you gift him to me, I don't want it!" Yin Zi angrily knocked my head with his wings.

As the two of us argued, One Hundred and Thirty Seventh Senior had passed by and sighed, "The cat must be in heat. Spring is coming. There will definitely be lots of profits I can reap."

After the countless fighting and struggling, Yin Zi and I came to the conclusion that the culprit to this whole mess — Jian Nan. That guy was still unaware, and when he arrived, he happily waved his hand and said, "Big Brother Yin Zi, everything has been taken care of."

"Taken care of my ass!" The feathery mess of Yin Zi who had just been bitten many time by me went over to give Jian Nan a kick, "What kind of nonsense did you speak just now? How did you involve Six Senior Brother?"

"Ah, that guy really pushed me to my limits, so I had to think of a man to get rid of him. In the future if you're asked just tell others they must have heard wrong." Jian Nan was very proud, "With my performance, you guys can relax."

"Your mother can relax!" I fiercely jumped up and pounced onto him, "Sixth Senior Brother is Xiang Qing! He's my husband!"

"How can there be such a coincidence?" Jian Nan was astonished.

At this point, blaming each other was already useless. Yin Zi had long since wanted to leave this dreadful place and return to the Hua Residence, however, I pitifully held him back and pleaded for him not to leave.

Right now, there was a cat, a crow, and a frog squatting together on the ground. From the outside, a familiar voice could be heard, "Ah Hua, what are you doing in this place?"

It was Xiang Qing. Seeing me, he did not hesitate to come over and pick me up. As he started to walk back to the direction of his room, he said with a smile, "I bought you some fish when I went out."

Meow woo? With one glance of him, I temporarily discarded all worries and problems from my head, and focused on eating the fish he was feeding me.

Before long, Seventh Senior Brother aggressively rushed in and slammed the table with red eyes, as if he had been crying.

"Ah perfect timing, I've just made some fish soup, Seventh Junior Brother should join me." Xiang Qing was in a very good mood today.

"I'm not eating!" Seventh Senior Brother's voice was full of sadness.

"Then you are here for?" Xiang Qing was puzzled.

"To challenge!" Seventh Senior Brother clenched his teeth, "I want to challenge you!"

"Why?" Xiang Qing became even more puzzled.

"A proud man will fight for love! Do not say anymore!" Seventh Senior Brother righteously said.

"What love?"

"Let me ask you," Seeing that he was unwilling to admit, he explained, "Has senior brother taken fancy to the newly arrived junior sister?"

"Who did you hear this from?" Xiang Qing suddenly turned awkward.

"Hmph! I must be right! We shall fight it out tomorrow in the mountain to determine the victor! If you lose, you will no longer stay on Maoshan Mountain! And you will never meet with Junior Sister ever again!"
