Chapter 57: Ch 57 - A Thousand Faces I

After Jinyue's explanation, Yino finally seemed to believe her a little.

He narrowed his cold eyes, staring at the white silk-clad legs beneath the girl's red dress, momentarily lost in thought as if imagining something.

"What... what are you going to do?"

"What I said was the worst-case scenario, I'm not letting you tear them now!"

Jinyue suddenly felt a chill on her legs and crouched down, hugging her legs and staring at Yino with wary charming eyes.

Yino couldn't help but purse his lips, showing a disappointed expression.

After a moment's silence, he cleared his throat and said:

"I was just thinking about how to help you take off your stockings tonight, I didn't say I had to tear them."

"You almost had 'disappointment' written all over your face!"

"How do you know?"

"Because your eyes were full of aggression!"

The foxgirl hugged herself and said softly.

At these words, Yino's eyes suddenly became much clearer.

He touched his face in disbelief, then looked at the full-length mirror on the wall not far away, pursed his lips, and relaxed into a smile.

"Really? I think I look quite handsome and gentle."

"I do not believe you! When you looked at me just now, I was frightened you'd pull me into the woods and eat me tonight!"

Jinyue described vividly.

But as they joked, Yino pulled Yunjin, who had been watching from afar, over and asked seriously:

"Senior Sister Yunjin, could you look into my eyes for a moment, please?"

Yino held Yunjin's hand as his cold eyes staring directly at her.

Yunjin was already a bit confused, and suddenly being stared at so closely by Yino, her innocent face visibly blushed.

"What... what's going on...?"

"Sister Yunjin, do you think my eyes look fierce?"

"Not at all."

Yunjin answered smoothly, tilting her head in confusion.

She stared into Yino's eyes for a while longer, then looked away even more shyly, saying softly, "Young Master's eyes... are very gentle and caring..."

Hearing this, Yino nodded with satisfaction.

He turned to look at the foxgirl, who was staring in disbelief, and said shamelessly:

"See? I'm not as bad as Miss Jinyue imagined!"

"Um..."

Through Yino's recent conversation, Yunjin seemed to have realized the purpose of this eye contact.

Although she was a bit flushed, she still clasped her hands to her chest and earnestly clarified Yino's character: "Although I haven't known Young Master for long, he has been especially caring towards me these days, and Senior Sister Yuyan also said that Young Master is a trustworthy fellow disciple... I think Miss Jinyue must have some misunderstanding about Young Master."

"Me? Having a misunderstanding about him?"

Suddenly, Jinyue became the most isolated one.

She wanted to tell Yunjin that she didn't know Yino's true cunning nature, but as the words came to her lips, Jinyue was once again met with Yino's icy gaze, suddenly reminding her of the secret from that night that belonged only to the two of them.

Obviously, if she were to betray Yino, he would certainly reveal her fox demon identity!

"Scumbag... liar..."

Jinyue knew there were some things she couldn't tell Yunjin, but feeling frustrated, she snorted disdainfully, her face puffed up with anger, muttering in a whisper only Yino could hear.

Yino, thick-skinned as he was, pretended not to hear and ignored Jinyue, continuing to chat softly with Yunjin about the details of the Snow Village mission.

As they talked, the three of them had already signed up for the Snow Village mission.

The three walked out of the hall together, with Yino sandwiched in the middle, Yunjin on one side and Jinyue on the other.

But as they walked, Jinyue found herself unable to join the conversation, feeling like a third wheel as she listened to Yino's gentle words to Yunjin, feeling very uncomfortable.

She felt that Yino's attitude towards Yunjin was worlds apart from his attitude towards her!

Previously at the Mountain Temple, Jinyue had no comparison and thought that Yino, as the young master of the Grand Tutor's Mansion, naturally had such a cunning and frivolous, aloof personality.

But now, walking with Yunjin, Jinyue saw with her own eyes that Yino actually had a gentle, normal side.

-Could he really treat two girls so differently?-

Moreover, Jinyue was a naturally charming fox spirit, and she didn't think Yunjin could compare to her in terms of looks or figure!

What did this mean?

It meant that Yino was only flirting and teasing Jinyue specifically!

"Wasn't it enough to take advantage of me that night, now you're not even sparing this innocent girl..."

"You big bad wolf with a thousand faces!"

The foxgirl grew more and more angry as she thought about it, her cheeks puffed up in fury.

She couldn't help but kick Yino's backside with the back of her leg, cursing in a whisper only he could hear.

Yino turned his head, also secretly clicking his tongue, thinking how to retort.

But just then, as the three walked out of the main hall, they saw a crowd of young disciples squatting by the roadside suddenly swarm towards them.

"Senior Sister Jinyue, you're finally out!"

"Senior, are these two the friends you mentioned?"

"Senior... forgive this disciple for saying so, but how could you be friends with such a frivolous young master?"

Among the many young disciples who surrounded them, Chen Jianxin took the lead in speaking up.

Since Jinyue had been glaring at Yino without responding to him, Chen Jianxin confusedly tried to reach out and grab her arm.

But before his fingers could touch her arm, a cold and angry killing intent suddenly descended from the sky—

"Get lost! Stay away from me!"

Jinyue, who had been silent for so long, burst out with overflowing anger. Her usually smiling peach blossom eyes now unabashedly revealed the disgust deep in her heart. Sёarᴄh the novёlF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

In an instant, the atmosphere at the entrance of the main hall dropped to freezing point.

The young disciples didn't know what had happened, but they were suddenly scolded by Jinyue, their little faces turning pale, too scared to make a sound.

Chen Jianxin, who was at the center of the killing intent, was even more affected. Being the closest, he was nearly paralyzed by Jinyue's glare, his legs going weak and causing him to fall on his backside right there.
