“Were you also looking for , Chuxi?” There was a lapse in Qin Xiruo’s delicate smile, but she quickly recovered and masked her concern, continuing to speak in her carefully crafted tone of delicacy.
“Yes, I was.” Ling Chuxi nodded, cheerfully maintaining her own artificial disposition. She casually turned towards the alley to check if Ling Xiaoting was still there to overhear all this. The alley was empty and he was nowhere in sight. He must have left quietly.
“What is it, Chunxi?” Qin Xiruo’s hand trembled slightly, though no one could tell because it was hidden within her sleeve. She was desperately tamping down her own mixed emotions. She’d seen the exchange between Ling Xiaoting and Ling Chunxi earlier. ‘Didn’t Ling Xiaoting say he only had Qin Xiruo in his heart? Why then was he behaving in such a manner towards Ling Chunxi? He was regretting treating Ling Chunxi badly in the past because she was now beautiful and had a prodigious level of innate talent. Her transformation had cause him to make andnts in his heart. What a shallow and despicable man!’ Qin Xiruo’s feelings on this matter were fleeting but convoluted. She didn’t like Ling Xiaoting romantically, but seeing him be flirtatious towards Ling Chunxi was extrely uncomfortable for her nonetheless. As though sothing that belonged to her had been touched by soone else without her permission.
“Oh, it’s nothing.” Ling Chunxi shrugged. “I just wanted to talk to you about sothing. It’s the main reason why I suddenly beca this aweso,” said Ling Chunxi mysteriously with a playful wink.
“What? What do you an by that, Chunxi?” Outwardly, Qin Xiruo appeared stunned, but she was incredibly happy on the inside. Ling Chunxi had just confird her suspicions without her having to do anything at all. She was right. Ling Chunxi had acquired her innate talent by ans of a special encounter or treasure. Before she could even trap her into spilling her secret, this fool had gone ahead and told her. Qin Xiruo maintained her mask of surprise and confusion while joy and excitent leapt in her heart.
“Oh, Chunxi, whatever do you an? Could it be that when you passed the assessnt yesterday, you took so dical pills to change your level of innate talent? Or was it because you managed to obtain sothing special?” asked Qin Xiruo under the pretense of disbelief.
Ling Chunxi was too stunned to pretend otherwise. ‘What logic was this? Qin Xiruo would actually believe that taking dical pills or obtaining so kind of treasure was the reason behind her transformation? What a joke. There were many amazing dical pills, but none had the ability to change soone’s level of innate talent. It was unheard of! The most a dical pill could do was to improve one’s cultivation speed. And yes, although treasure capable of altering one’s innate talent did exist, where would Ling Chunxi have obtained it? Such heavenly-defying treasure would have attracted a lot of attention and caused the top warriors in the world to co to blows in pursuit of it. How would Ling Chunxi have possibly even attempted to obtain such a treasure?
Ling Chuxi’s brow furrowed. She studied Qin Xiruo’s profile thoroughly and saw an urgency in the depths of Qin Xiruo’s eyes. She scoffed to herself. So that was it. Qin Xiruo was actually entertaining the improbable idea that Ling Chunxi had tamorphosized due to a treasure or dical pill of so sort and wanted a piece of it for herself. How laughable.
However... Ling Chunxi’s lips curled into an evil smirk. In her heart, the decision had already been made. Since the idea was purported by Qin Xiruo herself, wouldn’t it be rude not to entertain her conjecture?
‘This woman, Qin Xiruo, is as vile as she is greedy. The people who think of her as kind and gentle are blind beyond belief.’
“You’re so amazing Sister Xiruo! You’ve managed to guess my secret.” Ling Chunxi feigned astonishnt and shook her head in pretend admiration. “I did obtain a piece of treasure capable of not only improving one’s innate talent but enhancing one’s appearance to beco beautiful as well. I’m a testimony of how well it works.” Inwardly, Ling Chunxi was trying not to throw up at the mistruths spewing from her mouth disregarding her own hard work. ‘Improving one’s innate talent? Beco beautiful? Oh, please! I had already possessed those qualities all along!’
Qin Xiruo could not disguise the ecstasy in her eyes when she heard Ling Chunxi utter everything she’d wanted to hear.
