Starting From A Son In Law To Build An Long Lasting Family Chapter 2037: 538: Little Sister, Have You Fallen for Him? (part 3)

Shen Baishuang feels that her little sister, Shen Yiren, remains overly innocent and fails to grasp the ever-changing nature of human hearts, leaving her prone to being tricked and oppressed.

Without their big sister Shen Jianjia stepping in to smooth things over, the bond between these two sisters would have crumbled ages ago.

"Mm, something came up earlier, so I returned."

Clad in a striking red gown, Shen Baishuang's silhouette appeared remarkably lithe and alluring, resembling a flawless divine statue that radiated captivating poise.

Her raven locks tumbled over her shoulders like a silky cascade, gleaming with a soft, lustrous glow, draping all the way to her pronounced, voluptuous hips.

The gown's daring slit reached nearly to her thighs, fluttering lightly in the wind and flashing hints of her flawless, milky skin, as though playfully enticing onlookers and leaving them entranced, almost bowing in awe.

"Little sister, did you head to Rongyue Island to see that Xuanmu Taoist?"

Gazing straight at Shen Yiren with an inspecting look, Shen Baishuang voiced her question.

"Mm."

Shen Yiren felt a touch of surprise at her second sister's inquiry but nodded anyway.

"Perfect timing, tell me about this Xuanmu Taoist."

From reliable reports by her own steward, Shen Baishuang had already grasped the basics on Xuanmu Taoist.

She knew he was rather intimate with her little sister, who clearly held a favorable view of him, prompting her to come straight over and probe.

"Second sister, why are you asking about him?"

Aware of her second sister's fierce temperament, Shen Yiren quickly countered, suspecting some doubt toward Xuanmu Taoist.

She understood well that her second sister acted boldly without needing proof.

"Just curious, why that guarded look?"

Noticing her sister's defensive stance, Shen Baishuang slightly creased her brow, a hint of annoyance rising.

They'd barely met, yet her sister already sided with him?

"Xuanmu serves as an Honorary Elder in our Goddess Palace; his core details are logged in the Illusion Moon Pavilion. If you're interested, check them yourself."

With her refined and dainty features, Shen Yiren replied in a gentle tone.

"If I'd come to you, it means I've already looked into it."

Shen Baishuang rolled her eyes, her voice tinged with impatience.

Then, holding back her frustration, she explained hearing odd rumors about him that raised suspicions, leading her to ask directly.

Though Shen Yiren saw no real flaws in Lu Changsheng, she recognized her second sister's key role in Goddess Palace affairs, so the worry made sense.

After posing a few more questions, Shen Baishuang abruptly knitted her brows and remarked, "Little sister, have you developed feelings for this man?"

"Second sister, what are you saying!"

Hearing that, Shen Yiren frowned at once, her gentle voice sharpening noticeably.

She did hold Xuanmu Taoist in high regard, impressed by his skills and integrity, but it was nowhere near romance.

"I only sensed you protecting him in your replies, so I asked offhand."

Shen Baishuang gave a soft laugh, unbothered by her sister's reaction, though inwardly she suspected issues with this Xuanmu Taoist.

Her sister might be somewhat gullible, but her judgment surpassed most, and few male cultivators ever drew her interest.

Now, even if not smitten, she clearly favored this Xuanmu Taoist quite a bit.

To win her sister over so deeply in mere years spelled definite trouble.

"Second sister, don't tease like that!"

Shen Yiren adopted a more resolute stance.

"Fine, fine, no more teasing."

Seeing her sister growing upset, Shen Baishuang's stunning, mature visage softened a touch as she continued, "I'm inquiring because I need his help on a mission."

Earlier, big sister Shen Jianjia had suggested she assess and watch Xuanmu Taoist closely, so post-recovery, after some thought, she decided to ask him along to Black Reef Island.

This would let her observe and test him during the journey.

Otherwise, with his frequent seclusion on Rongyue Island, chances to engage were slim.

"A task?"

Shen Yiren showed mild astonishment.

"It's regarding the Kunpeng Egg..."

Shen Baishuang shared freely with her sister, disclosing the Kunpeng Egg pursuit and the clash with Six Paths Demon Consort.

"As a Late Stage Core Formation Great Cultivator, he wields a Fourth Rank Puppet and excels in divination plus medicine. Bringing him along would prove immensely helpful, boosting our Goddess Palace's odds to claim the Kunpeng Egg!"

Beyond probing, Shen Baishuang genuinely valued Xuanmu Taoist's shown talents for real aid.

"Xuanmu is merely our Goddess Palace’s Honorary Elder, so second sister, ask him directly."

Shen Yiren knew vying for the Kunpeng Egg carried huge risks.

Though tempted to decline for Lu Changsheng politely, if he grabbed this shot at contribution, she could openly push for treasures like Nine Curves Spirit Pill, Nascent Soul Secret Technique, and Nascent Soul Insights.

"Alright."

Shen Baishuang nodded firmly, her resolve unyielding as she rose promptly, set to depart for Rongyue Island.
