Chapter 206
If Cheng Hui hadn't snatched the materials from him, how could he have been so
Xu Yan didn't think that this was a disaster caused by his greed. He believed that it was all Cheng Hui's fault.
If Cheng Hui hadn't been competing with him for the materials, how could he have suddenly thought of letting Nian Qing come and steal things? If Nian Qing hadn't come to steal things, he naturally wouldn't have been caught.
If Cheng Hui agreed to a settlement, he wouldn't have to pay such a large sum of money, so...
It’s all Cheng Hui’s fault!
He didn't know who Cheng Hui was, but he had already remembered this boy deeply.
Before leaving, he glanced at Cheng Hui's door with a cold look, and then left with an expressionless face.
Inside the room, Cheng Hui was leaning against the door, and Lin Qingyang was lying in his arms with his eyes wide open, as if he could see the scene outside through the door.
"Guess...what Elder Xu is thinking now?" Lin Qingyang asked with a chuckle.
"What else could it be? He's probably thinking about how to cut me into pieces." Cheng Hui answered nonchalantly.
Lin Qingyang glanced at him in surprise: "Why didn't you feel guilty and offer to compensate you?"
Cheng Hui curled his lips. "You're overthinking it. People are different. Someone like this, who has some ability, is arrogant, and conceited. Seeing how he spoils his granddaughter, you know he'll never reflect on himself. No matter what happens, it's definitely someone else's fault. So... he must think it's all because I'm competing with him for materials."
Lin Qingyang looked at him for a long moment, then slowly curled the corners of his mouth. He threw himself into his arms and said coquettishly, "Ah Hui, you know what? My biggest worry all along has been that you'd be soft-hearted and unable to see the true face of some people."
Cheng Hui tapped him on the forehead with his hand: "Am I a fool in your eyes?"
"I'm not a fool... Ah Hui just thinks everyone is too kind..." Lin Qingyang put his face on Cheng Hui's chest, quietly feeling the slight ups and downs.
He could hear the beating heart in his chest, thump, thump...as if just listening to the sound would calm him down.
It's great that this person is still alive...
etc……
Lin Qingyang suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Cheng Hui in confusion. Cheng Hui gave him a puzzled look in return.
He tried to hold back, but couldn't help asking, "Your heart is beating."
"Yeah, there's a problem." Cheng Hui hadn't noticed yet.
Lin Qingyang looked strange: "You are a zombie, your heart shouldn't be beating, unless..."
"Unless I ask him to jump, right?" Cheng Hui finally realized what Lin Qingyang was surprised about and shrugged. "I can't help it. I'm used to it. I always feel like a human, so my body stays in a 'living' state. Not only do I have a heartbeat, I have body temperature, and I breathe. Haven't you noticed?"
Lin Qingyang was suddenly speechless. It was not that he had just discovered it, but he had just happened to ignore this matter and only realized it just now.
On second thought, this might be a good idea. Maybe one day Cheng Hui can really become a living person...
So Lin Qingyang climbed back comfortably, making Cheng Hui laugh and cry.
He patted his shoulder: "That's enough, it's time to get up."
"I won't." Lin Qingyang said coquettishly. He knew Cheng Hui would fall for it and was not at all embarrassed to act coquettishly.
Cheng Hui really had no power to resist his behavior. It seemed that since the two of them confirmed their relationship, he had a delicate little wife.
She has a kind heart and is beautiful, and she can act coquettishly... Even if it's just fake, she's still very cute.
The two hugged for a while before Lin Qingyang got up contentedly. He knew Cheng Hui had a habit of sleeping, and he could choose not to, but he wanted to lie down with Cheng Hui.
It would be even better if he could do something he loves... Unfortunately, he hasn't found the opportunity so far.
In this regard, Cheng Hui is surprisingly conservative. At most, he can trick people into giving him a kiss and a hug, but don't even think about anything more.
The two went back to bed and slept for a while. After dawn, someone knocked on the door.
Cheng Hui turned over and buried his head in the quilt. Lin Qingyang was so amused that he could only get up and open the door.
Standing outside the door was one of the two monks on duty yesterday. As soon as he saw Lin Qingyang, he immediately broke into a big smile.
"Friend Lin, this is the compensation list. Are you satisfied with it?" He handed over a list.
Lin Qingyang took a glance and found that Xu Yan was indeed a master of formations. He had a lot of spirit stones in his pocket. This list of compensation was almost as much as the wealth of some Nascent Soul cultivators, which would definitely make him feel very painful.
As long as he was not uncomfortable, Lin Qingyang was satisfied. He checked off the equivalent amount of formation materials from the list according to one-fifth of the quota. The young monk also reminded them that if they had special needs, they could also purchase some materials directly from Feidu Villa.
Lin Qingyang rejected his offer. This compensation was for Cheng Hui, so naturally he had to select the materials for the formation. He didn't have any other needs at the moment, so there was no need for Feidu Villa to profit from the price difference.
Before leaving, the young monk told him that the materials would be delivered in about three days.
Lin Qingyang nodded to show that he understood, closed the door and returned to bed.
"Hmm... who is it?" Cheng Hui asked in a daze.
"Everyone at Feidu Villa, it's nothing serious, just continue sleeping." Lin Qingyang coaxed him.
"Oh." Cheng Hui fell into a deep sleep again after hearing this.
Lin Qingyang crawled into the quilt, gently hugged Cheng Hui from behind, and held him tightly in his arms.
The body in his arms was emitting heat. Lin Qingyang carefully stroked him gently with a strength that would not disturb Cheng Hui's sleep.
After a while, he fell asleep in this warm bed.
When the sky brightened, Cheng Hui hid back impatiently, but the naughty sunlight could still penetrate the curtains and kiss his face.
After moving several times without being able to escape the harassment of the sun, Cheng Hui had no choice but to open his eyes and prepare to get up to find something to eat.
"Why are you up?"
As soon as Cheng Hui moved, Lin Qingyang woke up. He pulled Cheng Hui, who was about to sit up, back into the quilt and pecked him on the mouth.
Cheng Hui was already immune to this level of harassment. He kissed him calmly, then sat up, turned around, lifted the quilt, and shouted happily: "--Get up!"
Lin Qingyang opened his eyes with a smile and looked at the sunshine outside the window. It was another pleasant morning!
"What do you want to eat?" Lin Qingyang asked Cheng Hui.
Cheng Hui thought for a moment, "The Xiaolongbao place in the west of Mingyue City."
Lin Qingyang rummaged through his ring and quickly pulled out a tray of dumplings, which were still steaming.
After the two had breakfast, Lin Qingyang recounted what happened in the morning.
When Cheng Hui heard the list that Lin Qingyang repeated, he smiled with satisfaction.
Although he might get more by settling privately, Cheng Hui would not be able to make the reasons for getting these things public.
After all, the saying "one should be grateful for what one has received" makes a lot of sense. If he took the money and spread the news of Xu Nianqing stealing things, then he would be wrong, and Xu Yan would have a legitimate reason to retaliate.
It is different now. Feidu Villa was the middleman, and all of Xu Yan's things were compensated to Feidu Villa. At the same time, his act of paying Feidu Villa was tantamount to announcing to the world that he or someone related to him was caught causing trouble on Feidu Villa's territory, and he had to pay money to redeem them.
Although he would also be hated by Xu Yan, at least he couldn't attack him openly.
There must be some small actions in private, but Cheng Hui will not be active near Bagua Gate. Once he enters the Forbidden Magic Battlefield, no one will know where he is when he comes out. Even if Xu Yan searches the nearby area, he will not be able to find him.
Moreover, his age also means that he cannot enter the Forbidden Demon Battlefield. At that time, as long as Cheng Hui pays a little attention, he can completely avoid this big trouble.
Perfect!
Cheng Hui thought happily and couldn't help laughing with the steamed bun in his mouth. Fortunately, he was quick and picked up the steamed bun that had unfortunately fallen, thus avoiding the tragedy of being splashed with soy sauce.
"You're distracted while eating!" Lin Qingyang scolded.
"I just thought of something interesting." Cheng Hui didn't want to be happy by himself, so he quickly shared his idea with Lin Qingyang.
Lin Qingyang looked at him in confusion. Is this enough?
Shouldn't one think of revenge from morning till night when dealing with someone who has offended him, striving to kill them as soon as possible? Why did Ah Hui only think of avoiding that person?
After hearing what Lin Qingyang said, Cheng Hui couldn't help but rolled his eyes: "If he wants to kill me, I will definitely kill him back, but he is just here to steal things, it's really not that serious..."
He glanced at Lin Qingyang and suddenly asked, "Are you the type of person like Long Aotian?"
Lin Qingyang:?
"I'd rather betray the world than let it betray me. And if anyone offends me, I'll kill their entire family. And, and, I have countless confidantes..."
Originally, Lin Qingyang thought the first two points made sense, but when he heard the words "countless confidantes", he said flatly: "Of course not!"
This is a fatal question!
He immediately took Cheng Hui's hand and said sincerely, "Ah Hui, you know I only like you, how could I have any confidantes? A man who is fickle deserves his whole life of bad luck. From what you said about this Long Aotian, he sounds like a loser. Usually, only cowardly losers who suddenly gain power will become so extreme. He has countless confidantes, isn't he afraid that one day his confidantes will gang up on him and kill him?"
Cheng Hui smiled. He just said it casually and absolutely had no intention of testing Lin Qingyang.
Lin Qingyang breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Cheng Hui smile.
However, he was not talking nonsense just to please Cheng Hui. There really was such a person in the past. He was a bastard in the family and was not valued, but no one was harsh on him. However, he hated everyone all day long, as if the whole world had wronged him.
Later, he accidentally obtained a jade pendant, which contained the residual soul of a demon cultivator. He followed the demon cultivator to learn the magic skills and soon mastered great power.
What happened later was similar to what Cheng Hui said. He relied on killing all the way to the top, and there were countless stunning beauties following him. But in the end, those confidantes who claimed to love him to death conspired to kill him.
The reason was very simple. His cultivation was too high, and those women were not sure they could continue to control him, so they simply killed him and divided his power.
After this wave, the families of his most favored concubines suddenly prospered and even lasted for thousands of years, and some are still standing today.
So in Lin Qingyang's eyes, Long Aotian might be equated with a "big fool who is played around by women at will."
