Oops, the princess is surrounded by the male protagonists

Chapter 583 Wait a few more days, and I'll make sure you all have a big surprise!

On the other side, Lingyou led Baiyue and her group to Qingfeng Courtyard. As soon as they arrived at the courtyard gate, he hurriedly took his leave, his steps quick, as if staying even a moment longer would bring him great trouble.

Bai Yue stood in the courtyard, her gaze sweeping over the familiar scenery before her, and a sense of déjà vu arose in her heart.

"After all this time, I never thought I'd end up back here..."

Then, she turned to look at Ming Jingxing and asked in confusion.

"Grandpa Ming, why do we only see you, your great-aunt, and Aunt Luo? Didn't Aunt Ye and Uncle Xue come up with you?"

Upon hearing this, Ming Jingxing pursed his lips, his tone carrying a hint of nonchalance and teasing.

"Those two are probably getting all lovey-dovey again!"

As he spoke, he winked.

"Who knows where they're hiding, whispering sweet nothings to each other in some nook and cranny. They probably won't even remember us until nightfall!"

These blunt words caused everyone present to cough unconsciously a few times to cover up their embarrassment.

Shen Xingmian even secretly reached out and tugged at Ming Jingxing's arm, signaling him to watch his words and not to talk nonsense in front of the younger generation.

"Don't be silly, I'm just telling the truth!"

Ming Jingxing nonchalantly grabbed Shen Xingmian's hand, then looked at everyone and changed the subject.

"Alright, alright, this yard looks quite spacious, let's not just stand there, let's get to our rooms and settle in quickly!"

His gaze swept over the several side rooms in the courtyard, finally settling on the main room, which was in the best location and most secluded. He pointed to it and smiled at Shen Xingmian.

"Xingmian, what do you think of this room? It faces south, has good natural light, and is spacious. Let's stay here!"

Bai Yue saw that it was the main house where Ling Xuzi originally lived, and quickly tried to dissuade him.

“Grandpa Ming, that’s A-Da’s room. Logically, he should be the one to stay there.”

Upon hearing this, Ming Jingxing immediately turned his gaze to Ling Xuzi, who was standing to the side and remained silent, and asked him for his opinion with his eyes.

Ling Xuzi felt the gazes of everyone and simply shook his head calmly.

"I have no memory of this place whatsoever. Everything... I'll leave it to Senior Ming to arrange."

"Okay! It's settled then!"

Ming Jingxing wanted exactly that, and immediately made the decision.

"Since the homeowner has no objections, then Xingmian, let's stay in this room!"

He then looked at Bai Yue and spoke forcefully.

"Moon Girl, don't bother choosing any other rooms. Just stay with us. That way, some unruly kid won't sneak into your room in the middle of the night and 'mess around' with you!"

He uttered the word "Huo Huo" with particular emphasis, his gaze lingering between Hua Mu'an and Ling Xuzi, conveying a strong sense of warning.

"You two, especially, need to be kept on guard! Don't think I'm blind and don't know what tricks you're up to!"

Hua Mu'an's cheeks flushed instantly when he heard what she was thinking. She opened her mouth to refute, but couldn't find a suitable reason, so she could only lower her head in frustration.

Although Ling Xuzi's expression remained unchanged, a hint of panic flashed in his eyes. He simply lowered his eyes to conceal the complex emotions within them.

Just then, Rakshasa smiled and approached Bai Yue, saying something.

"Little Yue'er, come back to your room with me. Let Aunt Luo check on you to see how you are feeling."

As she spoke, she glared at Hua Mu'an and Ling Xuzi.

"The martial arts tournament is tomorrow. Before then, you're not allowed to cause any more trouble!"

Zhuang Xiaoye naturally understood Luosha's meaning, so he began to reprimand the two of them again.

As Luocha led Baiyue into a private room, she closed the door behind her, and the lazy smile on her face instantly vanished, replaced by a solemn and iron-like expression.

"Aunt Luo, has something happened?"

Seeing this, Bai Yue quickly asked what was wrong.

Rakshasa then leaned close to her ear and whispered something.

"Xiaoyue, there's something I must let you know. The Demonic Sect has already made a move. The sect leader has sent a lot of people to secretly monitor this martial arts tournament."

Upon hearing this, Bai Yue's brows furrowed instantly.

"The Demonic Cult has gotten involved too? Aunt Luo, where did you get this information? Is it reliable?"

"It's a secret report from Wang Ba and Zhi Qi."

Rakshasa explained.

"They are now leading a group of demonic cult members, disguised as small vendors selling food and groceries, mingling with the crowds at the foot of the mountain. One reason is to monitor the movements of various sects, and the other is... According to them, the cult leader personally instructed that he is 'very interested' in the new martial arts alliance leader to be elected this time."

"Wang Ba? Zhi Qi?"

Bai Yue remembered that these two were the two "spies" she had planted in the Demonic Sect, and couldn't help but ask them questions out of curiosity.

"So it was those two. But how did we manage to see Hua Yixiao? What positions have they managed to achieve now?"

"With the Yaksha secretly making arrangements and supporting them, and these two being somewhat clever and capable of maneuvering, they have now been promoted to altar masters and have gained some real power."

After thinking for a moment, Rakshasa explained the current situation.

"Not bad, I didn't expect these two to be promoted so quickly."

Just as Bai Yue couldn't help but silently complain, Luo Sha reached out and pressed her shoulder, speaking seriously.

"Little Yue'er, you must not let your guard down. The sect leader is a man of deep and unpredictable thoughts, ruthless and cunning. He is by no means a kind person. If he takes an interest in anyone, that person will surely not have a good ending."

Seeing the worry on Luocha's face, Bai Yue smiled instead, raised her hand and patted Luocha's hand, her tone carrying a strange confidence. "Aunt Luo, I know what I'm doing. Although that Hua Yixiao is a troublesome freak, when I master my divine skills, I'll definitely beat him to a pulp and let him know how powerful I am!"

Upon hearing this, Rakshasa was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously raised her hand to touch Bai Yue's forehead, muttering to herself in confusion.

"He doesn't have a fever... How come he's talking nonsense in broad daylight?"

She poked Bai Yue's cheek with her fingertip again, her face full of helplessness, as if to say, "Are you kidding me?"

"With your current skills, you can't even compare to that brat Yuwen Tianle. You think you can beat Hua Yixiao? Xiaoyue, have you been 'specially trained' too hard by Senior Ming and the others lately, and haven't had enough rest because of those kids Yuwen Yi? Your brain is all muddled, and you're starting to talk in your sleep?"

Bai Yue knew that her situation couldn't be explained in a short time, and seeing that Luo Sha didn't believe her at all, she stopped trying to explain.

"As the saying goes, 'A scholar should be looked at with new eyes after three days of separation.' Aunt Luo, just wait a little longer, and I guarantee you'll be quite surprised!"

Rakshasa assumed she was just putting on a brave face, shook her head helplessly, and gently advised her.

"Alright, alright, my little darling, you should go back and get some sleep. You need to be well-rested to have the energy to deal with what comes next. I think you're just sleep-deprived."

Seeing this, Bai Yue stopped insisting, smiled and replied, "Okay," then turned around, opened the door, and went out.

However, she had only taken two steps out of the room when an arm suddenly reached out from the shadows beside her and, with lightning speed, grabbed her waist and pulled her into a warm embrace!
