Reborn As A Villainous Cannon Fodder - Chapter 401 - 401: Ch 401- Don't Worry, I'm Saving It All for Senior

Nina got beaten all night long. Even though she was a mighty Emperor, under her master’s disciplinary ruler she could only cry while telling her about what she saw in the Western Region.

Meanwhile, Yino was just as busy last night, stuck in his room.

He was trying to calm down his aunt’s anger on one side while trying to explain to Yuyan on the other side that this was all just a misunderstanding.

In the end neither woman would back down, so Yino chose to sleep in his own room.

What else could he do?

This whole thing happened so suddenly and really caught him off guard.

Yino had some idea about his relationship with his aunt, but Xinyao never said anything about it. Because of their family relationship, Yino really did not dare make any moves.

So he just kept putting off dealing with his feelings for his aunt.

Yino was thinking that bringing Yuyan home this time would not only make the family elders happy but also give him a chance to test out his aunt’s feelings for him.

If Xinyao found out about this and happily agreed, that would mean she only saw Yino as family and he was just overthinking things. But if Xinyao just smiled on the surface while secretly giving him the cold shoulder behind the scenes, that would meanYino’s suspicions over all these years were right and Xinyao really did have romantic feelings for him despite being his aunt.

Those were basically the two outcomes Yino could imagine.

But what was crazy was that instead of choosing between genuinely welcoming Yuyan or being passive-aggressive, Xinyao went with option three. She straight up flipped the table and started going at it with Yuyan right there on the spot.

This really threw Yino for a loop.

Now he could totally confirm that Xinyao’s feelings for him went way beyond just family love.

After all, she really went all out to stop Yuyan and Yino’s engagement.

Even the next morning when they got up, Xinyao sat in the main hall wearing her pajamas. During breakfast she was still glaring at the white-robed woman sitting across the table with a pouty, hateful expression.

They had already finished all their arguing last night, but neither could convince the other.

Being caught between two women, Yino was under serious pressure.

After he finished the last steamed bun of breakfast, he gave Xinyao a meaningful look. Then he pulled Yuyan aside to talk privately.

Last night, Yino came up with a compromise.

Yuyan had just returned from Western Province City, so it made sense that she should go back to the Wuji Sect first to report on her mission.

So Yino figured meeting the parents could be put off for a while.

Even though Yuyan lost both parents when she was young, Sect Master Mu Daosheng had raised her all these years. He was her father’s close friend when he was alive. Logically speaking, Yuyan should ask Mu Daosheng’s opinion about her future marriage plans.

Besides, since Yino was not going back to the sect this time, Yuyan needed to register his situation with the sect.

This way, both sides would have time to cool off and think things through. Yino could also use this time to have a good talk with Xinyao about future plans.

Everyone was still young and there was plenty of time.

Once both sides were ready, Yino would not mind having Yuyan personally visit the Grand Tutor’s Mansion to sit down with everyone and discuss their future marriage.

Even though they called it a marriage, Yino knew that neither of them was really that eager to get married. Their so-called engagement was just each of them getting what they needed.

Because of Yuyan’s family background, she needed this kind of promise before dating so she could feel secure about committing. And Yino did not mind bringing home a beautiful and talented girlfriend to win approval from the family elders.

“Mm…”

“I have been a bit too hasty these past few days.”

After listening to Yino’s all-night analysis, Yuyan’s irritated mood from staring daggers at Xinyao across the table finally calmed down quite a bit.

Thinking about it calmly, she had just gone through a life-and-death situation, so after being saved by Yino she got a bit carried away with her emotions. Strictly speaking, Yuyan and Yino had only been in a romantic relationship for a few days.

If she rushed to the Grand Tutor’s Mansion to discuss this matter, it would seem rather hasty. After all, they had only known each other for half a year, and the impression Yuyan left on the mansion’s elders was that she looked down on Yino completely.

To so easily slap herself in the face like this would really make people think she was fickle.

Maybe… she did not need to confess everything on her first visit.

Just like people always say, relationships need to be created slowly. Yuyan could find another way to become part of Yino’s life.

“I think… In the future, maybe I can take on some missions related to Luo City through the Immortal Alliance. That way I can not only live in the same city as you, but I can also use the opportunity to gradually get to know the elders in your household through daily interactions.”

After thinking about it calmly, Yuyan came up with a new plan.

To put it bluntly, she just wanted to go to Luo City and experience living together with Yino.

On the other side, Yino was also lost in thought.

“That sounds pretty good, but does the Immortal Alliance really have long-term missions that let you stay in Luo City?”

“Why would there not be? I can represent the Wuji Sect in Luo City by drawing talismans everywhere, demonstrating swordsmanship, and recruiting new students!”

Yuyan blinked without hesitation.

But as soon as she said this, Yino’s eyes went wide: “Senior, that’s so evil of you! You trick people into going to the Western Region only for them to find out the Sword Senior Sister is not even at the Wuji Sect…”

“Is there a problem?”
