Chapter 22
She could tell at a glance that these two, like the men and women trapped in Yongshu Township, had simply fabricated a love affair out of the constraints of the "rules."
It's just a 'story'.
There was no romantic attraction between the two.
"Ah?" Jiang Wan didn't react for a moment.
However, Lin Xubai raised his eyebrows after hearing this, and turned his gaze to Jiang Wan indifferently as if he had noticed something. His long white fingers tapped lightly on the jade fan bone, but he said nothing.
"You're not...trying to snatch someone away too, are you?" Jiang Wan glanced sideways unhappily, the suspicion in her eyes gradually deepening. She hadn't forgotten the first day when Min Nan was forcibly snatched away. "That won't do. Xiao, Bei is mine!"
“Zheng——”
The silver light of the sword flashed in the other party's eyes.
Jiang Wan held the Qingzhou sword in his hand and stood in front of the young man as if to protect himself from wolves. His face was solemn and he was in a protective posture, as if he didn't hear the fact that his lie was exposed. He threw aside what the boss said, as if he had completely missed the point.
Jiang Wan naturally sensed the ill intention in the boss's words. Just the look he gave her and Lin Xubai made it clear that the boss had no good intentions.
But it was hard not to be distracted by the boss's eyes. She didn't pay any attention to what the boss said. Her focus was completely diverted by the provocation revealed in the boss's eyes.
Although she really didn't remember the original story, as the protagonist, it was normal for her to have one or two love entanglements.
According to the normal development of the novel, if the person next to her is the heroine, I think it should be the new male character who stops her and then a love affair will promote the main plot.
The person next to her is the male protagonist, so the above inference is also valid if the genders are swapped. What's more, a new female character suddenly jumps out and looks at her with a provocative look that makes her mistake her for the female protagonist.
Moreover, just as the male protagonist sent away the female supporting character Gong Mei, another female character with impure eyes towards him appeared later.
It was hard for Jiang Wan not to suspect that this was a recurrence of the original plot. After such a logical and well-reasoned analysis, it was hard for her not to be biased.
The boss looked at Jiang Wan, who was on high alert. After carefully judging whether the seriousness in the other's eyes was genuine, he fell silent.
The boss was speechless: She seemed to have thought a lot, but also thought a lot more.
She just exposed the lies you and Huanqingshi Yun Manman made up. Don't make it seem like she exposed the lies in order to steal the man.
This makes her look like a boss with no style, no class, and very cheap.
"Is this what you're focusing on?" The boss was amused by Jiang Wan's neglect of the main point and said, "Don't worry, I have someone I love."
Jiang Wan carefully observed the boss's expression and found that she did not seem to be lying, so she felt relieved, put away her sword, moved the chair, and prepared to sit down.
She was so familiar with the place as if she was in her own territory. Not only did she move chairs for herself and Lin Xubai, she also felt annoyed by the strong fragrance in the room and extinguished the incense burner.
The boss watched Jiang Wan tossing and turning silently, with no intention of stopping him.
Lin Xubai would not stop him. He gave the boss an apologetic smile and sat down comfortably on the cushion that Jiang Wan had prepared for him, as if he was completely unaware of the boss's gaze.
It was as if nothing had happened just now, and I felt very safe and relaxed.
Zhe Qingzhu was aware of their lies but chose to acquiesce. He waited until Yun Manman left before exposing the lies in their words, which is enough to explain a lot.
Obviously, she chose neutrality.
Neutrality is biased. Since she did not side with Tianyu Palace to expose the loopholes in their words and chose to conceal it, it means that she chose to side with them.
"You care about him a lot?" The boss was a little confused by Jiang Wan's reaction. She could see the genuine concern for Lin Xubai in Jiang Wan's eyes, but this concern was not the admiration she was familiar with.
"Of course!" Jiang Wan answered immediately.
"It seems that the identities of the two of you are truly extraordinary." As he said this, the boss looked directly at Lin Xubai with a penetrating gaze, and then smiled gently, "But the lovers you two fabricated are fake. I wonder if the identities of the Demon Realm Envoys are also fake?"
During these days, she had seen many cultivators who had resorted to various methods in order to survive.
Perhaps others would think that they were just restricted by the rules, but she didn't think it was necessary to stick to such a meaningless setting in the situation just now.
"I also saw the 'magic weapon' you two just took out. I heard that the new Demon Lord is the sixth of the Five Demon Lords, the Heavenly Demon Shura. But the 'magic weapon' I saw is nothing special. It seems a bit far-fetched."
Having said that, the boss was still quite afraid of the magic weapon that Jiang Wan took out. After all, when the magic weapon appeared, the flowers on the eaves of her inn withered instantly.
The boss is now unsure whether they are really as skilled as they appear to be.
Lin Xubai listened to his boss's words with a calm expression from beginning to end.
Jiang Wan, on the other hand, felt quite uneasy because of the boss's strange look. It was like he had seen through something. He wondered if they could figure out that they were here to rescue people under a pretext.
Jiang Wan was not afraid of revealing her identity just now, and now she is even less afraid of her boss seeing through her intentions.
As the saying goes.
The play was obtained by snatching.
"Boss, it's even better if you have a lover!" Jiang Wan moved the table where the piano was originally placed over, took the piano away, and covered it with a light-colored cloth.
"Come here, sister, you look so elegant." Jiang Wan's eyes sparkled, and she tried to establish a relationship with him. "Pretty sister, you look so sad. You must have suffered a lot in love."
She could immediately see the melancholy temperament of her boss who was trapped in love. She was definitely hurt by a man.
Anyway, Bai Qingqing and Tu Changxing will not die for a while. Even if something unexpected happens, she has plenty of ways to bring them back.
If you are seriously injured... then there is no need to rush.
It’s no wonder that she is cruel. The main reason is that Jiang Wan also wants to see the legendary healing holy spring of Guiyuan Sect.
"?"
"Hey, let's make a deal." Jiang Wan enthusiastically took out a spiritual weapon talisman from her storage bag and spread it out on the tablecloth. "Come on, don't miss it if you're passing by! Secret Realm Special Offer, Limited Time Sale!"
Jiangwan Grocery Store reopened.
"'Heartbreaking Pills', one pill is guaranteed to destroy that jerk's heart, making it impossible for him to reach a higher level. 'Tearful Drops of Unfaithfulness', one bottle will make him weep bitterly and repent endlessly, and the effects will last as long as he continues to cry. And there's also this, 'Heartbreaking Rebounding Talisman', which will rebound all the bad luck and misfortune that jerk has brought upon you, guaranteeing he'll regret betraying you to the point of beating his chest and stamping his feet in regret!"
You scumbag, die!
Lin Xubai's forehead twitched. My goodness, this is all poison, and it's definitely just ordinary toxicity with an exaggerated effect.
And the half-finished good luck charm he drew, you're going to use it like this, right...
Lin Xubai quietly mixed the other talismans he had drawn into it.
Zhe Qingzhu responded gently but the corners of his mouth twitched and he remained silent for a while.
Seeing no emotion in her eyes, Jiang Wan immediately understood that she was not looking for revenge after being dumped, but wanted to get back together, and that he had been promoting the wrong idea.
He immediately replaced the package with a new batch of 'reconciliation' and 'heartthrob' packages, and used himself as an example.
"With such a beautiful face, I'm always a striking presence wherever I go in the Immortal Sect. And there are a bunch of fellow apprentices chasing me around all day long, and I can't get rid of them! It's like playing with dogs!"
Lin Xubai: ...
He wanted to say something but stopped himself, but seeing that Jiang Wan was in high spirits, he thought for a moment and poured himself a cup of tea as if it was none of his business.
He should just drink his tea.
To the disciples of the Law Enforcement Hall who were being “played with” like dogs: %&&@&$!!!
This exchange of words brought Jiang Wan and the boss closer. Only when Jiang Wan got closer did she notice the unique dark pattern inside the boss's collar.
"So beautiful! It's a butterfly I've never seen before. Is it some kind of spiritual beast?"
Boss: "It's a blood-ripple butterfly."
Maybe it was Jiang Wan, or maybe it was the butterfly pattern that made the boss suddenly want to talk to someone.
Boss: "Do you know the pain of having something and then losing it?"
The boss told the story of how she and her sweetheart met, fell in love, and finally parted ways.
A few years ago, he saved a disciple from a sect, and the two fell in love with each other over time. In order to repay the disciple for saving his life, the other party brought the boss's family back to the sect and even arranged a marriage.
Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. The disciple fell in love with a female disciple from another sect at first sight in a secret place, and eventually he cancelled the engagement with her and sent her back to Yongshu Township.
"You gave yourself to me for saving my life, yet you never loved me from the beginning to the end..." The boss laughed sadly at himself. Seeing Jiang Wan wanted to comfort her but didn't know how, he could only pat her back like a child.
"Someone like you probably wouldn't understand this kind of unrequited love."
Jiang Wan: "I understand! How could I not understand!"
The boss was so shocked that he didn't even bother to complain about his injuries. "You? Understand?"
Lin Xubai: “……?”
Didn't he let her get what she wanted?
Lin Xubai, who was originally drinking tea calmly to reduce his presence, suddenly felt that the tea in his hand was no longer fragrant.
"Of course, I understand it too well! I just can't get Qianbei's love!"
My money!
"I once spent a wonderful and happy time with it, but happy times are short-lived after all, and I can't keep it."
Therefore, Jiang Wan understood without any instruction what Bai Yueguang meant and the destructive power of Bai Yueguang's departure.
I understand, how could I not understand, I understand it so well!
"Brother Qian!" I can't live without you!
No one understands what it means to be in unrequited love better than Jiang Wan.
But the topic has gone off topic, and Jiang Wan wiped the non-existent tears from her face.
"Use it! 'Love Potion' is perfect for this! Pair it with 'Thousands of Knots in the Heart', and from now on, your heart and soul will be yours alone!"
Drinking the 'Love Potion' will cause amnesia, and all feelings of friendship, family and love will be washed away. 'A Thousand Knots in the Heart' is a knot in the heart, a physical binding that will keep the bound person from escaping for the rest of his life unless he unties the knot.
Doesn’t this perfectly meet consumer needs!
The boss paused, "That's not a good idea... Even if I use the elixir to force him to fall in love with me, he already has someone he loves."
Lin Xubai: "A forced melon isn't sweet."
Jiang Wan disagreed: "What's the big deal? Sticky candy is sweet."
"Besides, you haven't even tried it, how do you know if it's sweet or not?"
"Don't forget who we are! We are from the devil's way! How can we be restricted by the thinking of those righteous disciples?"
Lin Xubai: ...You don't have to be so quick to replace the identity...
"Come, use this, I guarantee he'll lose his memory! He can't run away!" Jiang Wan rudely slapped the immobilization talisman into the boss's hand and packed it up along with the three-piece set.
The boss was slightly moved, but his face was still conflicted: "This... is not good."
"What's wrong with that? Do you know why most of the disciples of Tianyu Palace have smooth love lives? It's because they fight and compete with each other."
The boss had no choice but to accept Jiang Wan's recommendation and bought it for a large sum of money. Then he saw a double butterfly pendant hanging around Jiang Wan's waist and exchanged it with a butterfly chain.
"My Butterfly Dream Flowing Light Chain is no worse than your jade pendant. If you encounter danger, it can transform into a cocoon and protect you with flowing light. Even a Yuanying stage cultivator can resist it. The scale powder on this chain has a bewitching effect. You can activate it by reciting the spiritual power formula."
After saying that, the boss taught Jiang Wan the formula.
Before leaving, the boss told the two of them some unexpected news.
The reason why Tianyu Palace changed its mindset and started arresting people is because...
"Blue Bana."
The boss looked at the two of them with a calm gaze.
"They want to use those people to give birth to blue red spider lilies and leave Yongshu Township."
*
The boss arranged a room for Jiang Wan and casually told them not to worry too much about the safety of the captured monks.
Yun Manman and Ban Meng were not fully prepared because of their love, so they could not use those monks to promote the growth of blue red spider lilies for a while.
When there was no one around, Jiang Wan skillfully took out a talisman, and Lin Xubai then mentioned the incident of Jiang Wan impersonating the Demon Lord.
Fortunately, the people from Tianyu Palace were trapped in Yongshu Township for a while and had no idea what was happening in the outside world, which allowed Lin Xubai and Jiang Wan to take advantage of the opportunity.
Lin Xubai made up a lie that seemed flawless at the moment, but would be exposed as soon as it was revealed.
The main focus is on this information gap.
"Fortunately, I reacted quickly and helped you get over it." Lin Xubai said as he tapped Jiang Wan's forehead lightly with the fan bone.
"You said you were the Demon Lord, then I said I was the Star Mysterious Immortal Lord, do you believe it?"
Jiang Wan: "How is that possible? Of course I don't believe it. I'm not stupid."
Lin Xubai: "Yes, you are not stupid, and neither are others."
Jiang Wan: “…”
Lin Xubai: "If you're impersonating someone, at least you can't impersonate someone that can be exposed immediately."
Jiang Wan: Is there a possibility that she is really the Demon Lord himself?
Lin Xubai pretended to be indifferent and turned his folding fan, then casually mentioned the pile of spiritual weapons that Jiang Wan was selling to the boss.
Trying to find out the origin.
A sentence given by someone else to Jiang Wan.
Lin Xubai suddenly asked, "Why, was that magic weapon of yours also given to you by that senior who you loved but couldn't have?"
It was a very plain sentence without any emotion, but Jiang Wan inexplicably felt a hint of...
crisis?
