Urban Seduction: Housewives Club-Chapter 583: A Successful Entry

Ye Fei didn't pay much attention to the conversation between the three women. Instead, he took the opportunity to carefully examine the cave's interior.

From the warm and cozy decor, he finally confirmed one thing: the gentle demeanor Bai Yingshi had shown earlier wasn't a one-time occurrence. It was her true nature, which she usually suppressed, deliberately maintaining an aloof and unapproachable demeanor.

"Even as a guardian, there's no need to be cold and distant. You don't have to live such a tiring life," Ye Fei said abruptly, leaving Zhu Yuyan and Bai You'er puzzled.

Bai Yingshi, however, understood Ye Fei's words. Her calm heart rippled like a stone dropped into water. She hadn't expected that the subtle sense of helplessness she had concealed—even from her disciple, who had been by her side day and night—would be so easily seen through by Ye Fei.

This realization made her feel a sense of kinship with him, something she had never experienced before.

While it stirred her heart, it also made her slightly nervous. This unfamiliar feeling left her unsure of how to respond.

"What are you talking about? I don't understand," Bai Yingshi said, feigning ignorance to mask her unease. However, the faint blush on her cheeks completely shattered her usual cold and aloof demeanor.

Bai You'er, who had never seen her master like this, was stunned. Ye Fei, on the other hand, was utterly captivated by her adorable expression.

"Whether you understand or not, I truly hope you can be yourself and live a happier life," Ye Fei said sincerely, though his eyes showed no intense emotion. He spoke as if he were merely a concerned friend.

With his experience, he could tell that he couldn't be too aggressive with Bai Yingshi.

Pushing too hard might scare her, given that she had never entertained such thoughts before. The best approach was to stand by her as a friend and gradually win her over with warmth and care.

Sure enough, hearing Ye Fei's words and seeing his genuine gaze, Bai Yingshi no longer denied anything. She nodded gently and said, "Thank you. I understand."

As soon as she spoke, Zhu Yuyan and Bai You'er felt a shift in Bai Yingshi's demeanor. In an instant, she returned to the gentle and approachable state she had briefly shown earlier, and this time, it seemed to last.

At this moment, Bai You'er's emotions became complicated. She had harbored some resentment toward Ye Fei for tarnishing the pure and perfect image she held in her heart. But now, he had helped her master relax and be herself.

This made Bai You'er feel somewhat ashamed that she, who had been with her master for so long, hadn't understood her as well as an outsider like Ye Fei. She wasn't sure how to face Ye Fei now.

Should she resent him? But he had helped her most respected master. Should she be grateful?

But he had also destroyed the perfect image she had cherished. Lost in thought, she stared at Ye Fei in a daze.

Bai Yingshi, unaware of her disciple's inner turmoil, turned to Zhu Yuyan and said, "Sister Zhu, I wanted to apologize for what happened twenty years ago." No longer needing to maintain her cold demeanor, Bai Yingshi felt much more at ease. Previously, she had addressed Zhu Yuyan as "Sect Leader," but now she referred to her as a sister.

In the past, even if Bai Yingshi had humbled herself, Zhu Yuyan might have still harbored some resentment. But now, her heart was entirely devoted to Ye Fei, allowing her to view the past events from a more objective perspective.

She no longer held any grudge against Bai Yingshi. Smiling softly, she replied, "You're too kind, sister. In truth, it's my fault. After all, what happened back then wasn't your doing, yet we directed all our resentment toward you."

Zhu Yuyan's words took Bai Yingshi by surprise. She had thought it would take a great deal of effort to resolve the grievances between them, especially given Jiang Manjun's attitude toward her. She never expected Zhu Yuyan to come to this realization on her own.

Bai Yingshi couldn't help but glance at Ye Fei. Was he the reason for this change? After all, the Heavenly Demon Sect members had recently held grievances against her, and such a sudden shift was indeed suspicious.

As the sky darkened after the prolonged battle between Ye Fei and Bai Yingshi, it seemed there was no need for them to stay any longer.

More importantly, Ye Fei, with his experience, knew he had already made a deep impression on Bai Yingshi. At this point, playing hard to get would be far more effective than lingering.

"It's getting late. We should take our leave now," Ye Fei said, clasping his hands toward Bai Yingshi and her disciple. He then took Zhu Yuyan's hand and turned to walk out of the cave.

As Ye Fei left without hesitation, Bai Yingshi, though too reserved to say anything, felt a strong sense of reluctance. She even wished he would just turn back and look at her once more.

As if reading her thoughts, Ye Fei, who hadn't yet left the cave, suddenly turned around. He took out a small, coin-like object from his pocket and handed it to Bai Yingshi.

"Sister Bai, we've hit it off so well. I don't have anything valuable on me, but this is a little gadget I made myself. Press the button in the middle, and no matter where you are, I'll know your location. If you ever need me, just use it, and I'll come right away."

Bai Yingshi, though old enough to be Ye Fei's mother, was as innocent as a blank slate when it came to matters of the heart. Today, Ye Fei had genuinely defeated her, even with the power of Tianshan's spiritual energy, earning her admiration.

Moreover, he had seen through her innermost thoughts, making her feel a deep sense of connection.

Unconsciously, she had developed a strong fondness for this boy who was half her age. Experiencing such feelings for the first time, she was even more flustered than a young girl in the throes of first love.

After accepting the exquisitely crafted signal transmitter, she was at a loss for words. She threaded a thin string through it, hung it around her delicate neck, and gently tucked it into the deep crevice of her chest, close to her skin. Ye Fei couldn't help but envy the little object he had just gifted her.

This exchange between them stirred different emotions in Zhu Yuyan and Bai You'er. Zhu Yuyan felt a mix of helplessness and unease, while Bai You'er, who admired the pure aura of Xu Zhiyun and had grown up in the mountains with her master, was equally innocent.

Though not as clueless as Miao Chan, who couldn't even distinguish between men and women, Bai You'er was still completely ignorant of matters of the heart. She had no idea what her master was feeling at that moment.
