With a flash, Yu Bingwen appeared on the rooftop like a ghost. A smile played on his lips as he slowly walked towards Qingwu.
"Uncle-Master, how could you do this? You actually hid here and eavesdropped on our conversation!" Yu Bingwen said with a hint of reproach.
Upon hearing this, Qingwu glared at him sideways, then coughed lightly and replied with feigned composure, "Hmph, this rooftop isn't yours alone. Why should you and that little bald monk be the only ones chatting here under the moon? Can't your martial uncle come up for a drink and enjoy the moon? I bet there's something going on between you two! Hmph!"
Hearing his martial uncle's sophistry, Yu Bingwen was speechless and shook his head helplessly. But he still quickly walked over to Qingwu and sat down next to her.
At this moment, Qingwu was still muttering to herself, "Besides, you're the apple of our sect's eye! Our sect leader specifically entrusted you to my care, so of course I have to keep a close eye on you at all times. I can't let that little bald monk have a chance to steal you away from under my nose!"
"If that really happens, that old codger, the sect leader, will cry his heart out. He might even kick me, your uncle, out of the sect in a fit of anger! Tell me, can you bear to see your uncle get kicked out?"
As she spoke, she pretended to wipe the corner of her eye with her sleeve, as if she had really suffered a great injustice.
Yu Bingwen felt as if countless black lines were hanging down from his head, densely obscuring his vision and making him dizzy.
He inwardly groaned, "What is all this nonsense? What does 'seduction' even mean? What kind of outrageous scenarios is she fantasizing about? And she's actually putting on an act, and she's really getting into it!"
Yu Bingwen shook his head helplessly, reached up to rub his forehead, took a deep breath, and slowly said, "Uncle-Master, you've probably been reading too many picture books, haven't you? I bet you've recently become obsessed with some new picture book, haven't you?"
Qingwu winked mischievously and replied with a grin, "Hehehe, that's just like your senior uncle! That's right, we've released quite a few new titles lately! And this one's a completely new genre! It's called 'Rebirth: The Cunning Buddhist Prince's Gentle Pampering, His Highness Wants to Ascend the Throne as Emperor'! What do you think? Doesn't the title sound perfect for the two of you?"
Upon hearing this, Yu Bingwen felt utterly powerless; he was speechless. Faced with his martial aunt, who was so engrossed in the world of her illustrated books and whose thoughts jumped around so much, he truly didn't know how to communicate with her.
"Oh my, this setting is so relatable! This story is about rebirth and political intrigue, and most importantly, it features two male leads: a cunning Buddhist monk and a beloved prince!"
"In his previous life, the most favored prince was the most likely to inherit the throne. However, because of his favor, he developed a kind and gentle nature. He was brainwashed by his vicious older brother and did not want to be emperor. He only wanted to be a carefree prince. Unexpectedly, after all his backers died, he was falsely accused of patricide and matricide and was executed. As a result, he was reborn with hatred and vowed to take back the throne that belonged to him!"
"After being reborn, she vie for power with several princes and even meets the Buddhist prince who died young in her previous life. In the end, she is completely taken advantage of by the cunning Buddhist prince. The new emperor, in response, establishes a new system of male empresses and never takes any concubines or consorts, thus creating a legendary love story between emperors. How about that? Pretty good, right?"
Yu Bingwen looked at Qingwu with a complicated expression. "If Martial Uncle likes it, that's good! This disciple respects them and also respects Martial Uncle's preferences!"
Seeing that Qingwu wanted to continue, Yu Bingwen quickly spoke up first, "But this disciple feels that it is not suitable for us, and I believe that Uncle-Master will respect that!"
Qingwu's face fell, then she hugged her wine gourd and exaggeratedly imitated, "Oh! I think I just heard someone say, 'There's definitely something ambiguous between us!' And someone else said, 'You are all-encompassing, and I am the Buddha of compassion, you and I... are quite suitable! Presumably, neither of us minds that we are both men!' That person wasn't me, was it?"
Yu Bingwen: "..."
Qingwu said, "And those black-hearted glutinous rice balls! No one knows each other better than you and me, there's something fishy going on here!"
Just as Yu Bingwen was about to explain, Qingwu, eyes downcast and seemingly lost in thought, immediately covered her ears with both hands and preemptively declared, "I won't listen! I won't listen!"
Yu Bingwen just stared at the other person, waiting for him to finish his performance!
Qingwu stole a few glances at him, her eyes darting around, before resuming her serious demeanor and saying, "Speak! My dear junior nephew, let me hear your story!"
