Chapter 315 Extra Chapter: Jianxin 2

"Third Holy Mother, I think there's something wrong with your second brother."

Cunxin, who became acquainted with Yang Chan through the Investiture of the Gods, and Zhinu, who became acquainted with Yang Chan through the story of the Cowherd, often got together to chat. Over time, they became inseparable confidantes.

Therefore, when Cunxin said this at the usual tea party, Yang Chan and Zhinu both looked at him with curiosity.

"What's wrong with Second Brother?"

"What's wrong with the God of Justice?"

Meeting the two pairs of onlookers' eyes, Cunxin sighed awkwardly, a blush creeping onto her face: "I think... maybe I'm just imagining things... but, I just feel..."

"What do you think? Just say it!" Even the Weaver Girl was getting anxious for her.

"Oh dear!" Urged on like that, Cunxin decided to go all out and said directly, "I think Yang Jian might like me!"

"What?!" *2

Yang Chan sat down next to Cunxin, and Zhinu pushed the tea on the table a little closer, saying with enthusiasm, "Come, tell me in detail."

"That's right, how did you find out my brother likes you?"

Cunxin, a little embarrassed, cupped her face and stammered as she explained, "Well... before, my father was pressuring me to get married, and he even strongly recommended Yang Jian. Of course, I firmly rejected his idea... But who would have thought that I'd run into him right after running away, so... I felt a little guilty, so I had to say some nice things..."

"Hmm, and then what?"

Both sisters knew what Cunxin was thinking. In fact, after seeing the tragic fate of the Seventh Princess and the precedent of the Weaver Girl, most of the female immortals had a strong desire to cultivate to the point of "cultivating to the point of death as long as they can survive".

“Then,” Cunxin’s eyes darted around awkwardly as she recalled Yang Jian’s behavior at the time, “I was just telling the truth that I was being pressured to get married, and Yang Jian… he just started praising me out of nowhere… I didn’t even know I had so many good qualities.”

“I understand,” the Weaver Girl nodded. Although she had been forced to eat some expired pork, she still had some experience. “This is called ‘beauty is in the eye of the beholder.’”

"Hey!" Cunxin slapped Zhinu in an annoyance. "What are you saying?"

"To be honest, Third Holy Mother, what do you think?"

The Weaver Girl looked at Yang Chan, who hesitated, "My second brother... doesn't seem like the type to say nice things..."

After this analysis, Yang Chan was somewhat convinced. Looking at Cunxin, she realized that she and her second brother had been friends for many years. To be honest, over the years, besides her and their mother, Cunxin was the only woman her second brother was truly close to.

How come she didn't notice before?

Thinking about it this way, Yang Chan became more and more enthusiastic towards Cunxin, and the more she looked at her, the more she resembled her second sister-in-law. Cunxin felt a chill run down her spine and couldn't help but move to the side. "Why are you looking at me like that?"

"Second sister-in-law... no, Cunxin," Yang Chan warmly grasped Cunxin's hand, "what do you think of my second brother?"

The Weaver Girl lay on the table and laughed loudly: "Third Holy Mother, your face changes too quickly!"

"It's not important. What's important is that my second brother's behavior clearly shows he likes you. What do you think of him?"

Yang Chan became increasingly certain of her guess and looked at Cunxin expectantly.

Cunxin tried to pull her hand away but couldn't. She smiled awkwardly and said, "Third Holy Mother, Yang Jian is very good, but... you know me, I'm the one who's going to overthrow the previous brothers and sisters and become the Dragon King. I really don't have that kind of intention."

Ao, bursting with ambition, looked sincere. Yang Chan sighed regretfully, and, unwilling to give up, asked again, "You really don't like it?"

Cunxin shook her head frantically: "It's not that I don't like him, it's that it won't work! Holy Mother, for the sake of our friendship over the years, please try to persuade your brother gently. My friendship with him is purely comradeship, and it can't be changed."

"Okay." Yang Chan was a little disappointed. Looking at Cunxin's retreating figure, she was still very regretful. Why couldn't it be her second sister-in-law? She already had a monkey nephew, couldn't she have a dragon nephew?

“Don’t overthink it,” the Weaver Girl said, enjoying the spectacle. “If your second brother really wanted to, he could definitely overcome this little difficulty. After all, he is the God of Justice.”

"The judicial gods, though they understand the law, don't necessarily understand human emotions."

...

Although Yao Ji had her immortal bones removed, because she and Yang Tianyou had spent many years helping and educating the people, she did not need her three children to help extend her lifespan. Naturally, she accumulated merit and became a deity, serving as the local guardian deity, commonly known as the Earth God.

Therefore, Yang Chan specially returned from Mount Hua to congratulate her parents on becoming gods. Looking at her second brother, whose expression was natural and gentle, she couldn't help but go up to inquire about Cunxin's matter.

"Second brother, you seem to be in a good mood lately? Has anything happened?"

"What could possibly happen to me?" Yang Jian asked naturally, but seeing Yang Chan reminded him of Cun Xin, and he subconsciously asked, "I remember, you and Cun Xin have always had a good relationship, right?"

Sure enough, Second Brother has feelings for Cunxin!

Yang Chan nodded, observing his expression, and replied, "Yes, Second Brother, why are you asking this?"

Yang Jian awkwardly touched his nose, feeling inexplicably guilty. He had noticed Cunxin's feelings for him before, and since they were comrades-in-arms, he couldn't very well reject her directly.

He could only rack his brains to praise Cunxin and subtly tell her that he was not good enough for her.

I just don't know if Cunxin understood what he meant, or if she'll be hurt.

Knowing that his third sister was Cunxin's good friend, Yang Jian wanted to find out, so he tentatively asked in a low voice, "Third sister, how do you think Cunxin is feeling lately?"

Yang Chan understood; he wasn't giving up even after being rejected by Cun Xin! Out of respect for her second brother, she could help him. Otherwise, at this rate, when would she ever have a nephew like Long Er?

“It’s not good,” Yang Chan said, drawing out her words. Seeing Yang Jian’s clearly concerned look, she sighed with feigned worry.

"What's wrong?" Yang Jian asked anxiously. Was he being insensitive? Had he hurt someone?

"I haven't been able to accomplish what I wanted to do." (I haven't actually managed to overthrow my older brother and sister.)

"I wanted it, but I didn't get it." (He always wanted the position of Dragon King of the West Sea, but he never got it.)

"Her emotions have changed somewhat, but she remains pure and resolute." (Resolutely wanting only camaraderie.)

Yang Chan didn't lie at all, but in Yang Jian's ears, it sounded like she wanted to marry him? Wasn't he the one she wanted? Speaking of feelings, the third sister was even more direct, saying that Cunxin was very persistent and that she liked him!

Yang Jian was annoyed. Oh no, Cunxin liked him too much. What was he going to do?

"This... didn't you try to persuade her?" Yang Jian asked anxiously. Cunxin had told his third sister everything, including his refusal. Why didn't his third sister try to persuade her?

"How can outsiders advise you on something like this?"

Yang Chan patted Yang Jian on the shoulder. One was her second brother, and the other was her best friend. She couldn't very well show favoritism. Whether he could win over a wife depended on her second brother himself.

"Second brother, you have to put in more effort and think of a way. Cunxin's mind has been made up for so many years, there's no way for us outsiders to interfere."

Cunxin is truly a career-oriented woman. Second brother, you'd better figure out a way to win her heart.

Yang Jian's heart skipped a beat. From what his third sister said, it turned out that Cunxin had liked him for so many years.

He sighed in distress. It was his fault. He hadn't noticed anything before, which had caused Cunxin to fall into this trap. He needed to think carefully about how to persuade Cunxin to give up this idea without hurting her.

"Dad, what happened to Uncle and Aunt?"

Not far away, Wukong sat in Yang Jiao's arms, blinking his big eyes and looking at Yang Jian and Yang Chan with curiosity.

Yang Jiao patted his head and laughed, "That's completely irrelevant. Just wait and see your second uncle make a fool of himself."

"Great! I love seeing my second uncle make a fool of himself."

"Shh, be tactful, watch quietly."

"Okay!"
