Chapter 318 Extra Chapter: Jianxin 5
"The Third Princess of the Western Sea is still undergoing training in your Hall of Justice."
Inside the Jade Pool, after handling the latest affairs, the Queen Mother looked at Yang Jian with some curiosity.
Not knowing why the Queen Mother suddenly mentioned Cunxin, Yang Jian subconsciously nodded, a slight smile playing on his lips: "Yes, Cunxin is very hardworking."
Seeing how diligently she had devoted herself to cultivation and learning for the past five hundred years, all so that she could stand shoulder to shoulder with him, it would be a lie to say that Yang Jian wasn't moved.
The Queen Mother observed his expression and tentatively asked, "What are your thoughts about her?"
Yang Jian was stunned for a moment, seemingly not quite understanding what the Queen Mother meant.
Seeing this, the Queen Mother asked more directly: "I'm not old-fashioned anymore. The Heavenly Laws don't require you to sever all feelings. Do you have feelings for her?"
"No!" Yang Jian answered hastily, subconsciously ignoring his pounding heart, and continued with a stiff face, "Yang Jian only has pure comradeship with Cun Xin, nothing more."
"Really not?"
"No."
"That's good," the Queen Mother breathed a sigh of relief, and under Yang Jian's surprised gaze, she said with a smile, "To be honest, I think this Third Princess is quite nice, but I was worried about your feelings before. But since you don't have that intention, what do you think about me introducing her to the Great Golden Crow?"
"The Great Golden Crow?" Yang Jian was a little dazed.
“Yes!” the Queen Mother exclaimed enthusiastically, her eyes sparkling. “That brat, despite being a Golden Crow, is always so cold and aloof, so lacking in human warmth. He needs a wife as warm and lively as the Third Princess. Besides, the Third Princess is also passionate about cultivation, so she and the Great Golden Crow will definitely have a lot to talk about…”
Yang Jian could no longer hear what the Queen Mother said after that. Just the thought that Cunxin might be with the Great Golden Crow made him feel as if his heart was being squeezed in a hand.
"Yang Jian, Yang Jian!"
"ah?"
What do you think?
Yang Jian's words of agreement caught in his throat, unable to be uttered. He felt suffocated, stammering and unsure of what he was saying: "I think... such matters should be considered from the perspective of the individual... the Third Princess may not necessarily agree..."
“That’s true. But when I talked to Da Jinwu before, he had a pretty good opinion of Cunxin. I’ll find an opportunity to let them meet sometime.”
"Yeah?"
So, without his knowledge, someone else had already taken a liking to Cunxin? Well, Cunxin is indeed very good.
Although he doesn't like her, does he really not like her?
Yang Jian left Yaochi in a daze. Watching his retreating figure, the Queen Mother suddenly smiled: "Yao Ji, oh Yao Ji, you've lived all these years and still don't know how to urge someone to marry. This kind of thing, I'm the one who has to handle it..."
After cultivating in the Hall of Justice for so long, even Cunxin is exhausted!
Just as she was about to take a break while Yang Jian was away, she bumped into Yang Jian walking back.
"I can't just keep my name as 'cunxin' (寸心) like that, it's so annoying..."
Cunxin was extremely annoyed. She tried to walk back along the corner of the wall, pretending not to see him, but Yang Jian pulled her back and she bumped into his arms.
"!" Cunxin's eyes widened, and she jumped away immediately, her face turning red. Was Yang Jian going to make a move without even confessing his feelings?
Yang Jian moved his hands somewhat awkwardly, feeling the warmth and softness left by Cunxin. He felt a little embarrassed and awkward. He had been too impulsive and had scared Cunxin.
"I'm sorry, I..."
"It's nothing, it's nothing, just an accident!"
Cunxin quickly shook her head, interrupting Yang Jian, and panicked, wanting to run away: "I'm going back to cultivate!"
"etc!"
Yang Jian reached out his hand again, but realized something was wrong halfway through, and immediately moved to block Cunxin's way.
Cunxin couldn't stop himself and crashed into Yang Jian's arms again.
Oh no, will he think I threw myself at him? But Yang Jian's chest is... well, you know! I wonder if I've actually opened it... Ugh! It's all the Weaver Girl's fault, sharing all those ridiculous stories with her every day!
Oh no, is Cunxin being so proactive now? Is she throwing herself at him? Should he push her away? What if pushing her away hurts her feelings? Or should he just not push her away?
The two remained locked in a stalemate for a while before Cunxin, driven by her ambition, was the first to react, taking two steps back. Yang Jian, who had been hesitantly raising his hands to place on Cunxin's shoulders, awkwardly moved them, eventually placing them on his hair, seemingly fixing something.
Oh no, even Yang Jian is starting to pay attention to his image in front of her!
Cunxin felt both embarrassed and inexplicably shy, and asked softly and hesitantly, "Why... are you stopping me?"
"Cough cough..." Yang Jian coughed twice, trying to regain his composure. He didn't really know why he stopped Cunxin. His hands moved faster than his brain. Looking at Cunxin, who was as beautiful as a sunset, Yang Jian was momentarily stunned.
"Yang...Yang Jian?"
Cunxin felt like she was being pierced through by Yang Jian's burning gaze. Was there anyone who stared at someone so directly? Was Yang Jian no longer trying to hide anything?
"Huh? Oh, oh, oh..."
Yang Jian snapped out of his reverie, suppressing his agitated emotions. Recalling his conversation with the Queen Mother, he blurted out his words of advice: "What I meant was, if... if Cunxin wants to get married, she needs to find a suitable partner. Someone who is usually cold and uncaring is not suitable for you, someone who only cares about cultivation is also unsuitable, someone with a complicated family background or too many younger brothers is also not suitable..."
Cunxin didn't know why her heart was beating so fast. After hearing Yang Jian's series of complaints, she subconsciously asked, "Who is it that's not good enough?"
"The Great Golden Crow won't do!"
After Yang Jian finished speaking, he clenched his fists, feeling extremely guilty. He tried to convince himself that it was all for Cun Xin's good, since they were friends after all.
Cunxin didn't understand why the Great Golden Crow was mentioned, and casually replied, "The Great Golden Crow wouldn't even look at me."
Who could that cultivation fanatic possibly fancy?
But these words made Yang Jian extremely uncomfortable, and he retorted, "That's because the Great Golden Crow has no vision! You're fine, you don't need to consider him!"
Seeing Yang Jian staring at her intently, Cunxin felt even more flustered. She avoided his gaze and asked softly, "Then who should I consider?"
"I'll consider it!" Yang Jian looked at Cunxin's shy, downcast eyes and suddenly felt an impulse surge in his heart. "Consider... me."
"you?"
Cunxin looked up in shock at Yang Jian, her blush still lingering, which looked exceptionally beautiful in Yang Jian's eyes.
At that moment, he wasn't thinking about anything, nor could he figure it out. He simply followed his heart, took a step forward, and said again, "Cunxin, consider me."
"!" He confessed! He really confessed!
Concealing her panic, Cunxin pushed him away and ran out!
What a masterful use of feigned weakness! He used his chest muscles and the giant golden crow to distract her, and the sudden confession caught her completely off guard, leaving her no time to hide! Damn it, is this the kind of trickery the Weaver Girl spoke of men using?
This is terrifying! Her resolve has wavered. She has to run, she has to run now!
