Chapter 1809: Chapter 1808: Temptation
Wang Xiuxin, this person, Lin Dong understood very well—he was a genuine scoundrel.
Although he refrained from acting out now due to Qin Yitian’s status, this matter was undoubtedly etched into his mory.
He would surely bear a grudge against not only Qin Yitian but everyone involved.
If there ever cos a day when he gains power, his attitude will undoubtedly change.
And when that ti cos, what actions he might take—no one can predict.
Zhang Feng spoke at this mont, “This Wang Xiuxin, at first glance, he’s clearly a scoundrel. There’s a saying in Dragon Country: It’s better to compete with a gentleman than argue with a scoundrel.”
“Offending a scoundrel ans they’ll hold a grudge for life.”
An Lan added, “Zhang Feng, Fairy Sister is the Alchemy Alliance Leader’s biological younger sister. Does she need to worry about so Wang Xiuxin?”
Hearing this, Zhang Feng closed his mouth as well.
True, after all, that was Miss Qin Yitian—why would she need to care about soone like Wang Xiuxin?
Even though Wang Xiuxin had earned the Alliance Leader’s favor, Qin Yitian was his biological sister. In front of a younger sister, what could a relatively gifted young man possibly count for?
Obviously, he would side with his younger sister.
Qin Yitian didn’t mind much either; it was simply disciplining an obnoxious scoundrel.
At this mont, she turned to Lin Dong and asked, “Mr. Dong Lin, are you still upset?”
Lin Dong shook his head—he couldn’t be bothered to get angry with Wang Xiuxin.
Back in the dostic sphere, Wang Xiuxin revered him like a god.
In his presence, Wang Xiuxin was no more than a stray dog. Now that Wang Xiuxin thought he was ‘dead,’ he had started to behave recklessly.
“Back then, out of respect for Elder Wang Taisui, I spared your life, thinking you’d straighten out. But now, I see I was wrong. For soone like you, your nature is unchangeable. Next ti, I won’t hesitate so much. Then, I’ll squash you directly!” Lin Dong secretly said in his heart.
Effectively sentencing Wang Xiuxin to death.
“Mr. Dong Lin, co back to my residence for now. Tomorrow, you and An Lan will have to undergo the Alchemy Talent Testing.”
“It’s already late now; I’ve arranged for you all to rest early,” Qin Yitian said with a smile at this mont.
Lin Dong nodded slightly, then followed Qin Yitian alongside An Lan, heading to her residence.
As for Zhang Feng, soone ca to take him to “Thunder Hall”; he had already been appointed by Qin Feng as the Team Leader for Lei Hall’s eighth squad.
This identity ca with its own designated accommodations.
Besides, he wanted to familiarize himself with Thunder Hall as soon as possible.
When he followed the person toward Thunder Hall, he was incomparably excited, eagerly sending a ssage to his father.
“Dad, your son made it big! Your son just arrived at the Alchemy League Headquarters and was appointed as Team Leader of Lei Hall’s eighth squad!”
This news shocked Zhang Lie as soon as it was sent out.
He was so emotional that he burst into tears.
“My Zhang Family is truly going to rise like a dragon!”
…
Lin Dong and An Lan followed Qin Yitian to her residence.
Qin Yitian’s status within the Alchemy Alliance was extraordinary—she was the Alliance Leader’s biological younger sister. Her living quarters in the dicine King Palace were even more luxurious than those of the Eighteen Elders.
Qin Feng’s residence was the most extravagant Main Hall in the entire dicine King Palace.
Qin Yitian’s residence, however, wasn’t as grand as her brother Qin Feng’s Main Hall; it was situated in the back garden section of the dicine King Palace.
Although her residence wasn’t as opulent as her brother’s, the scenery was undoubtedly the best in the entire dicine King Palace.
She had nad the place “Xiaoxiang Pavilion”!
The reason for naming it thus was her fondness for the novel “A Dream of Red Mansions,” especially her admiration for the character Lin Daiyu.
In the story, Lin Daiyu’s residence was also called Xiaoxiang Pavilion.
Thus, she had chosen to na her own quarters accordingly.
The design and architecture of Xiaoxiang Pavilion were also conceptualized by Qin Yitian herself, exuding an ancient aesthetic with hints of Dragon Country’s Su-style architecture.
The entirety of Xiaoxiang Pavilion spanned a sizable area, boasting over ten rooms.
When Qin Yitian brought Lin Dong and An Lan inside, several people ca out to greet them.
“Miss, you’re back!”
Seven or eight won walked over, and the leading figure wore a yellow dress.
All of these won were responsible for handling Qin Yitian’s daily affairs, but the woman in the yellow dress was particularly noteworthy—she was Qin Yitian’s trusted aide.
Her na was Huang Fei; both in life and in work, Qin Yitian placed imnse trust in her—a true right-hand woman.
Although a subordinate, Qin Yitian treated her almost like a sister.
She was one year older than Qin Yitian; Qin Yitian even affectionately called her Sister Fei.
“Sister Fei, here are the two people I brought back. This is my strategist and personal doctor, nad Dong Lin.”
“This young girl will follow you as my assistant; her na is An Lan.”
“Feel free to get acquainted.”
Huang Fei hesitated briefly upon hearing Qin Yitian’s words, especially when she turned to look at Lin Dong, a hint of surprise flashed across her face.
It was because the Miss had never brought other n to Xiaoxiang Pavilion before.
Although Qin Yitian had recruited many outstanding talents in the past, she never brought them back to Xiaoxiang Pavilion to assign accommodations.
But unexpectedly, this ti, she had brought back a male strategist.
And a personal doctor no less?
“Seems like this person isn’t simple,” Huang Fei thought to herself. Then, with a smile on her face, she stretched out her hand toward Lin Dong.
“Hello, Mr. Dong Lin. I’m Huang Fei, the Miss’s close aide in both life and work.”
Lin Dong extended his hand and shook hers, realizing this woman was actually a martial artist as well.
Her strength had even reached the Grandmaster level!
Lin Dong smiled and replied, “Hello, I’ll be counting on your guidance in the future.”
The two shook hands, introduced themselves, and got acquainted.
Qin Yitian said, “Mr. Dong Lin, it’s getting late now. I’ll have Sister Fei take you to the guest room to rest early. Tomorrow, ensure you wake up early; don’t forget about the Alchemy Talent Testing.”
As she said this, she turned her gaze toward her side and spoke again:
“Sister Fei, please take Mr. Dong Lin to the guest room nad ‘Yihong Building.'”
Yihong Building was the na of a room in Xiaoxiang Pavilion. The room had been vacant for so ti, and Qin Yitian decided it would be where Lin Dong would stay.
Huang Fei was montarily stunned again—the fact that the Miss would assign the ‘Yihong Building’ to Lin Dong.
That room was rather special.
However, she didn’t say much further. Being able to act as Qin Yitian’s aide in both life and work ant she knew when to speak and when to hold her tongue.
At this mont, she responded promptly and then turned to Lin Dong, saying, “Mr. Dong Lin, I’ll take you to rest now.”
Lin Dong nodded, “Alright.”
After Huang Fei led Lin Dong to the room, Qin Yitian also returned to her own quarters.
She then headed to the bathroom to enjoy a soak.
Lying in the bath, Qin Yitian’s mind wandered as she thought about the recent experiences of the past month.
“The world still needs people like Master Lin; it’s a pity he’s already gone. Otherwise, if he ca to Southborne, perhaps he could have transford the chaotic situation here.”
“At least soone like him would never cooperate with despicable factions like the Brahman.”
“But alas, fate is cruel to heroes. In this world, I fear there will never again be another like Master Lin.”
Lying in the bathtub, she muttered softly.
Afterward, her thoughts turned to Dong Lin.
“This Dong Lin—I can’t see through him. How far can he grow, I wonder?”
“Having him join our Alchemy Alliance—is it a blessing or a curse for him?”
She thought and thought, but fatigue overtook her.
She actually fell asleep right there in the bathtub.
Her enchanting bathing silhouette—if anyone had seen it, even Lin Dong himself would likely have been captivated.
However, it was clear that no man would see this scene—not even Lin Dong.
At this mont, Lin Dong was being led by Huang Fei to his assigned room.
After Huang Fei brought Lin Dong to the room, her deanor changed completely.
She suddenly twisted her ankle and stumbled toward Lin Dong’s arms.
“Ah, that hurt… Mr. Dong Lin, thank you for catching …”
As she spoke, she strangely placed her hand on Lin Dong’s chest.
Lin Dong was taken aback; he never expected this seemingly docile Sister Fei would suddenly turn coquettish and deliberately try to seduce him.
“Are you trying to tempt
to commit a cri?”
At this mont, Lin Dong was staring at Huang Fei, his voice deep and cold.
