"Senior Sister, today I saw Master put up a barrier around his courtyard. It's so weird. Why would he suddenly do that? The Cold Palace Sword Mansion is so remote, it's not like we have thieves."
Yu Xiaoyan's confused voice reached Qing Yueqiu's ears. The silver-haired girl, who never lost focus while practicing her sword, felt her hand tremble. The Sword Qi that should have perfectly struck a falling leaf went wide.
"Master put a barrier around his courtyard... Maybe Master and Mistress need their privacy. After all, our Cold Palace Sword Mansion isn't very big. It's impossible to keep any sounds from carrying..."
Qing Yueqiu tucked her silver hair behind her ear, hiding her reddening earlobe.
'He must have found out I was eavesdropping on his and his Dao Companion's private life last night. This so-called barrier isn't to keep out thieves, of course. It's to keep out a perverted disciple like me, who listens in on her Master and Mistress's bedroom activities...'
