Chapter Ch347 - Not Giving Face
Du Qiying couldn’t maintain his expression while he thought, Who doesn’t know that you’re close to Yan Tianhen, and there are so many rumors and slanders of the two brothers who have secretly gotten together a long ti ago. If you ask for it, you can naturally take whatever you want.
Wait, take whatever you want?
Du Qiying’s expression had changed. He was sowhat annoyed that the Sect Master actually allowed Lin Xuanzhi to return to Profound Sky Sect and also secretly hated how Esteed Huai Yu didn’t know what was good for him and even rejected the young alchemist child they kindly sent over. Instead, he accepted Yan Tianhen, this good-for-nothing who had zero talent.
Lin Yurou ca up and spoke to Lin Xuanzhi, “Xuanzhi, at the very least, Senior Martial Brother Du is still your martial brother under the sa master. You have such a good relationship with Ah Hen. If you want anything, he will naturally give it to you. We really want those spiritual herbs and have a use for them. For the sake of the Lin family’s face, you should help us.”
Lin Xuanzhi couldn’t help but sneer in his heart, She actually went as far as bringing out the Lin family’s face.
Lin Xuanzhi flatly responded, “The Lin family’s face; I, as the Young Master, have yet to even use it, but you’re making use of it so lightly.”
Lin Yurou was suddenly ridiculed and was stunned for a while.
As soon as Du Qiying opened his mouth to say sothing, Lin Xuanzhi continued, “I rember that you entered the outer door. How is it that many people told
they’ve seen you enter and leave in pairs with the inner-door disciples every day?”
Lin Yurou smiled and glanced at Du Qiying bashfully. She answered sowhat proudly, “I’m an inner-door disciple now, and even my dorms have changed. This is all thanks to Senior Martial Brother Du. Otherwise, I wouldn’t know how long I’ll have to stay as an outer-door disciple.”
“Have you learned all the outer-door cultivation techniques?” Lin Xuanzhi’s voice was a little cold. “Outer-door and inner-door disciples learn different topics every day, but they are all differentiated according to the disciples’ cultivation levels and talent. Now that you’ve entered the inner door, you may as well weigh yourself carefully to see if it’s appropriate to enter the inner door with your strength.”
The mont Lin Yurou heard Lin Xuanzhi’s contempt for her cultivation level and talent, she imdiately beca furious, flying into a rage out of humiliation. She clenched her fist, “How can you know my actual strength? Lin Yufan’s cultivation may be slightly higher than mine, but it’s not much higher. How can you know that she’s definitely stronger than ?”
Lin Xuanzhi curled his lips up, “Because I am the Lin family’s Young Master and you’re not.”
“You...”
With a disgruntled expression, Du Qiying cut in, “Xuanzhi, how can you be so unreasonable and oppress people with your status?”
Lin Xuanzhi replied nonchalantly, “Not only will I oppress people with my status, but I will also oppress people with my cultivation. Does Senior Martial Brother Du want to give it a try?”
Du Qiying took a deep breath and spoke angrily, “I have nothing to say with you, Xiaorou, let’s go.”
Lin Yurou assented and gave Lin Xuan a glare full of hidden bitterness before walking towards the foot of the mountain with Du Qiying.
Lin Xuanzhi stood behind and stared at them for a mont. He then took out a Voice Transmission Bell, “If Lin Yurou continues like this, I’m afraid there will be a problem.”
Not long after, the Voice Transmission Bell rang with Lin Yufan’s indolent voice&#k2013;
“Oh, if sothing goes wrong, then it goes wrong. What does it have to do with us?”
Lin Xuanzhi thought, He’s afraid that Lin Yufan truly despises Lin Yurou so much that he doesn’t care one bit about her, even out of personal considerations.
However, as the Young Master of the Lin family, he still couldn’t allow Lin Yurou to cause a disaster.
Thus Lin Xuanzhi responded, “If she causes a great disaster and brings sha to the Lin family or my reputation, I will hold you responsible when the ti cos.”
Lin Yufan, “...”
Even if one sits at ho, disaster will still strike from the heavens.
After a mont of silence on Lin Yufan’s side, Lin Xuanzhi heard him say, “It’s not hard to make Lin Yurou keep a low profile either. It just so happens that in the news I received these two days, one of them is about He Cailing, the Eldest Martial Sister of Broken Sword Peak. She is currently in the Central Continent training and gaining experience. I’ll think of a way to expose Lin Yurou and Du Qiying’s ambiguous affairs to her. As Du Qiying’s fiancé, He Cailing will not laugh it off.”
Speaking of which, Lin Xuanzhi’s relationship with He Cailing was considered adequate. It’s just that Lin Xuanzhi wasn’t sure whether or not He Cailing was involved in the events in Yunqi Grotto Heaven, and she was also Du Qiying’s legitimate fiancé, so her identity was sowhat awkward. Thus, Lin Xuanzhi did not contact her very often.
Recalling He Cailing’s temper, Lin Xuanzhi narrowed his eyes slightly. “Lin Yufan, I find that you are truly a devious scoundrel with an honest deanor.”
Lin Yufan laughed coldly, “No matter how bad I am, I’m still not as bad as you, Young Master.”
Technically, he didn’t want to care about Lin Yurou’s matter at all. If it wasn’t for Lin Xuanzhi using his status as Young Master to coerce him into doing sothing about it, he would have disregarded Lin Yurou’s existence.
Lin Xuanzhi nonchalantly replied, “As it should be.”
Lin Yufan, “...”
As soon as he put away the Voice Transmission Bell, Lin Xuanzhi turned his face and saw Yan Tianhen coming out of the fog forest.
“Dage.” Yan Tianhen poked his head out and looked around, “It seems that there was soone outside this fog forest just now, who had co to look for spiritual herbs.”
There was a string of wind chis hanging under the bamboo hut’s eaves. If there was soone outside the fog forest, the wind chis would ring by themselves even without wind, informing the people inside that soone had co to visit.
Lin Xuanzhi answered, “It was Du Qiying, who brought Lin Yurou with him to ask for spiritual plants. I sent them away.”
“Lin Yurou ah, I recently heard many rumors about her. The disciples of Broken Sword Peak all discussed behind her back, saying that Lin Yurou’s table manners were too ugly, as though she wished that everyone would know that she had boarded the big ship known as Du Qiying. Dage, those people’s words are pretty unpleasant; should we find a way to change the topic?”
Lin Xuanzhi couldn’t help laughing. He didn’t expect that Yan Tianhen was still concerned about such things. “I’ve left Lin Yurou’s affairs to Yufan to worry about. As for the great number of rumors, they can’t be stopped at all. However, Lin Yurou is not worthy of sympathy either. She made all the choices herself. She is not young now and should know the bottom line regarding right and wrong.”
Yan Tianhen nodded, then smiled suddenly as he tilted his head, “I’m not worried about Lin Yurou’s matters. In the beginning, she wasn’t very good to Dage either, so why would I care about her? I’m just afraid that if her reputation suffers and she does sothing she shouldn’t, she’ll pull Dage down as well.”
Lin Xuanzhi’s heart ward and he spoke softly, “This is unlikely. Yufan is very swift and decisive in handling matters. He will find soone who can return and control Du Qiying as soon as possible.”
During this period of ti, Yan Tianhen had heard Lin Xuanzhi ntion Lin Yufan several tis. He couldn’t help remarking sourly, “Dage, what do you think of Yufan Gege?”
Lin Xuanzhi nodded, “Naturally, he’s not bad. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have given Wishing Lane to him.”
“Wishing Lane is of great importance and has an exceedingly high status. It seems that Dage really trusts Yufan Gege.”
Lin Xuanzhi looked at Yan Tianhen thoughtfully, “Ah Hen, why is it that the more I listen to these words, the more I feel that sothing’s off about them?”
Yan Tianhen acted stupidly as he stared blankly. “Sothing’s off? How can that be?”
Lin Xuanzhi smiled and pinched Yan Tianhen’s face affectionately. “Don’t eat vinegar anymore. No matter how much I trust him, it still won’t compare to my trust in my family’s Ah Hen. Besides, if I have any ideas about him, how can I bear to send him out to handle so many matters? I really wish I can lock the little thing in my heart by my side all the ti.”
Yan Tianhen couldn’t stop himself from breaking out into a big smile. He rushed over to hug Lin Xuanzhi, “Dage, I’m not doubting you. I just feel that I didn’t do anything for you, so I feel a little uneasy.”
“You’ve already earned so much money and left it all to
to pay my debts. How can that be called ‘you didn’t do anything for ’?” Lin Xuanzhi was happy but also found it funny.
When Lin Xuanzhi ntioned making money, Yan Tianhen ca to his senses imdiately. He pushed aside Lin Xuanzhi, his eyes shining, “Dage, I won’t talk to you anymore. I’m going to take advantage of this ti to refine more dicinal pills. This way, the debt can be paid back as soon as possible.”
Lin Xuanzhi watched Yan Tianhen’s back view, as he ran and disappeared in the dense fog forest. He couldn’t help sighing — he really shot himself in the foot this ti.
............
On the way down the mountain, Du Qiying’s expression was extrely ugly, and he seed to be on the verge of exploding in anger.
Lin Yurou also had a full face of embarrassnt. She was rcilessly ridiculed by Lin Xuanzhi in front of Du Qiying. Naturally, she felt very flustered and her face was flushed with sha.
She felt very wronged. Her aptitude was obviously not bad, but she was deliberately embarrassed by Lin Xuanzhi everywhere. Not only did he rcilessly deprive her of the chance to beco an inner-door disciple, but he even ridiculed her opportunity to enter the inner door — the opportunity that she had obtained with much difficulty through remarkably good fortune and her abilities.
After walking for a while, Du Qiying rembered that there was another person beside him.
Du Qiying said sharply, “It seems that your relationship with Lin Xuanzhi is not so good either.”
Lin Yurou was particularly embarrassed. “I used to have a good relationship with him, but sohow, ever since he beca the Lin family’s Young Master, he beca notably indifferent to his family.”
Du Qiying narrowed his eyes, “As a Young Master, not only did he not help a mber of the Lin family’s main branch, but he also deliberately made cutting remarks about you. I really don’t know what your Lin family’s elders will think if they knew.”
Lin Yurou’s eyes twinkled as if inspired by Du Qiying’s words.
Lin Yurou bit her lower lip and murmured in her heart, When she returns to her room, she will find a way to tell the elders in the clan about this matter. Although Lin Xuanzhi is the Young Master with the support of the Fifth Elder, she also has the Third Elder’s help.
Speaking of which, Madam Bai and her mother have always had a good relationship.
Du Qiying swept a glance at Lin Yurou. He felt that this woman was especially stupid and also extrely greedy. However, this small face and figure weren’t too bad, and she was also very obedient. Most importantly, she was very easy to control. He only needed to say a few nice words of love and spend so money to buy so items, and just like that, he had her wrapped around his finger.
However, Du Qiying didn’t completely want to trip Lin Xuanzhi up through Lin Yurou. Even if he harbored this thought at the beginning and deliberately approached Lin Yurou, right now he could thoroughly see that Lin Xuanzhi didn’t put Lin Yurou in his eyes at all and was very wary of her, so there was no chance of Lin Yurou successfully backstabbing Lin Xuanzhi.
Even so, Du Qiying thought, Since he has already spent so much effort and money on Lin Yurou, he can’t just get no benefits from it all.
Du Qiying was extrely lecherous. Even though he already had a fiancé, the number of lovers around him had never decreased. Many inner-door disciples had ambiguous relationships with him, among which Thousand Hamr Peak’s Tong Le was the one who’d been with him the longest.
In any case, He Cailing usually wasn’t in the sect. She was wholeheartedly focused on cultivation and had no desire to pay attention to Du Qiying. Therefore, He Cailing had no idea about Du Qiying’s affairs.
So Du Qiying began to indulge himself.
