Lin Yu had already decided that he might as well change his name tomorrow and call himself Lin Huoshui (Lin the Femme Fatale).
It also suits my personality quite well.
It attracts attention wherever it goes, it's really quite strange, and it's unbearable!
That night, he stayed in a guest room in Juechen Valley, pondering how he could possibly obtain the Love Flower.
He had already sneaked into the valley to investigate, but found no so-called love flower. It seems that this thing doesn't grow in the open, and can't be stolen.
Extortion and plunder?
That won't work either; it doesn't suit his personality.
If this gets out, it won't sound good for someone like me who's the leader of the martial arts alliance.
Besides, no matter what, he and the Murong father and daughter had gone through thick and thin together, and they had treated him to good food and wine. There was no way he would do something like forceful threats.
What should we do then?
Should I first feign compliance and agree to marry Murong Qing? Then, after obtaining the Love Flower, I'd coldly abandon her?
No way! This would ruin that girl's reputation!
I am an open and honest person, and I would never do something so shameless.
well!
Looking at the ceiling, Lin Yu sighed helplessly.
Forget it, it's better to be straightforward. If the other party is willing to give it, then give it; if not, then forget it. He'll go back and find Gu Fang to see if there's any other good way to cure Rong'er and Li Xin of the aphrodisiac poison.
Lost in thought, Lin Yu drifted off to sleep.
This applies to people who are carefree; people who are overly thoughtful simply can't sleep.
For example, Murong Qing.
At this moment, Murong Qing was sitting on the swing in the courtyard, looking in the direction of the guest room, pouting and looking conflicted.
In all her life, she had never liked any man.
Lin Yu was the first person she ever liked.
But she never expected her first love to be so bumpy; the other person turned out to be a married man.
She grew up in the Valley of Dust and doesn't have a strong affinity for the moral values of modern society.
They even have some feudalistic ideas, thinking that it's okay for a man to have two more wives.
For example, my own father had several maids who served him in Juechen Valley.
While reading some ancient works, she also learned that the ancients had a variety of perspectives on love affairs.
For example, a pear blossom overshadows a crabapple.
It depicts a May-December romance. She couldn't understand why an old man could marry a young girl, let alone a married man.
Am I not pretty enough? Am I not considerate and gentle enough?
She felt that she was alright, so why didn't Lin the Painting Master like her?
Murong Qing became more and more conflicted as she thought about it, and tore all the leaves of the night-blooming jasmine in her hand to shreds.
Da da da!
Just then, the sound of footsteps came.
Murong Qing turned her head and saw her father, dressed in white, slowly approaching from a distance.
"Dad, you're still awake?" Murong Qing greeted him with a slight pout.
Murong Cheng could tell that his daughter wasn't very interested, and shook his head helplessly. "Still thinking about Lin Huasheng, huh?"
Murong Qing's pretty face flushed red. She turned away, feeling a little guilty but also stubborn, and said, "Why would I think about him? He's a heartless bastard!"
Murong Cheng smiled slightly, knowing that his daughter was saying one thing but meaning another. He slowly walked behind his daughter, pushed the swing, and said, "Daughter, don't rush. I told him to give him one night to think about it. If he doesn't agree, I won't give him the love flower. If he doesn't get the love flower, he can't save people. It's a matter of life and death. I don't believe he won't agree!"
"What?" Murong Qing immediately stood up and said irritably, "Dad, aren't you threatening him? You're taking advantage of his vulnerability!"
"Hmph, what do you mean by taking advantage of someone's misfortune? You're my only daughter. Whatever my daughter wants, your father will do everything he can to get it for you!" Murong Cheng said dismissively.
Murong Qing shook her head. "Dad, it depends on who you're dealing with! Lin Huasheng is our great benefactor. He just rescued us from the world of the painted murals, and you're using the Love Flower to threaten him? Isn't that repaying kindness with enmity?"
As she spoke, she turned her head away, fidgeting with her hands, and said, "Besides, I already promised him that as long as he could rescue you, I would give him the Love Flower. What you're doing now makes me break my promise, doesn't it?"
Murong Cheng shook his head. "Daughter, it's your business whether you agree or not, and it's my business whether I give it to you or not. Don't worry about this matter. In short, Dad will definitely make sure you get what you want and marry a good husband that you're satisfied with!"
"dad!"
Murong Qing was about to say something, but Murong Cheng ignored her and headed straight for his residence.
"dad!"
Murong Qing called out again, but her father had already walked far away, so she could only stand there with a helpless expression.
Just as Murong Cheng left, a gentle breeze blew by, and a tall, upright figure appeared in the courtyard without anyone noticing.
"Brother Lin!" Murong Qing exclaimed in surprise, then turned to the side and pouted, "Why aren't you asleep?"
Lin Yu smiled wryly, "This place is so close to my guest room, and you father and daughter are talking so loudly, how am I supposed to sleep!"
Murong Qing blushed and said, "So, you heard my conversation with my father?"
Lin Yu nodded, then put on a solemn expression and clasped his hands in a fist salute to Murong Qing, saying, "I know you are a grateful person. I am grateful for our friendship and hope you can help me obtain the Love Flower. This is a matter of life and death. I assure you, as long as I obtain the Love Flower, I will remember your kindness forever!"
Murong Qing was slightly taken aback, then clenched her fists again, and said with a sneer, "What's the use of remembering it? You'll still leave. Once you leave, mountain birds and fish will not travel the same path, and we'll never meet again. Perhaps we'll never see each other again in this life!"
Lin Yu was slightly taken aback, sighed, and said, "Miss Murong, you must understand that some of us are destined to be just passersby in each other's lives! The important thing is to cherish the bond we share while we're together! Don't wait until it's over to have regrets! You wouldn't want us to have unpleasant memories when we look back on our lives in the future, would you?"
Murong Qing's face stiffened, and then she pursed her red lips tightly.
Women are emotional creatures, and Lin Yu's words clearly touched her heart.
This PUA technique demonstrates Master Lin's skill.
Murong Qing's mental defenses quickly crumbled, and she finally nodded, saying, "You're right. It's fate that we've met. Let's not let this good fortune turn into bad!"
She raised her star-like eyes and said to Lin Yu, "Okay, Brother Lin, I'll take you to pick the love flower right now!"
