Chapter 223
Of course, returning to their old little world to make up for regrets is not an option for the time being. Once Qin Su and Ye Yan entered this world, they couldn't just pack up and leave.
Even because the jade pendant was a golden finger that the chosen one of destiny claimed with his blood, Ye Yan, as the golden finger himself, could not be too far away from Lin Ke.
This is one of the "laws" of this small world; forcibly breaking it will come at a price.
Therefore, Qin Su and Ye Yan discussed it and decided to leave Lin Ke behind tonight. Tomorrow, Ye Yan would go back to the Lin family with Lin Ke to settle Lin's parents, and then take Lin Ke back to the Su family to find a place for him to cultivate under a pseudonym. They would also develop a thirty-year talent cultivation plan for Lin Ke, ensuring that he would become a dragon overlord within thirty years.
Once Lin Ke successfully completes his mission, Ye Yan and Qin Su can leave this world.
As for whether Lin Ke is a good person or not, and whether he is worth helping, there is absolutely no need to worry.
Because those who become the chosen ones in each small world may have a miserable life, a dramatic life, and a complicated life, but they can never be evil.
Just like Lin Ke, although he is a typical overpowered protagonist in the old-fashioned annulment romance story, the fact that the story centered around him can become a huge hit means that his personality, character, and code of conduct have been tested by countless people.
So just have him roll it up and that's it.
Lin Ke, who was waiting outside the reception room hungry, had no idea that his next few decades were being meticulously planned.
He waited until it was completely dark before the door to the reception room finally opened from the inside.
He looked over with delight, and Qin Su smiled slightly at him, saying, "It's too late today, and the road is difficult to travel at night. You can go back tomorrow morning."
Lin Ke was startled and hesitated, saying, "Isn't this inappropriate?"
Was it too abrupt for him to stay overnight at the Su family's house? The two families were already in an awkward situation because of the matter of returning the tokens of the annulment of the engagement.
But Qin Su wouldn't allow him to refuse, and had already called a maid to take him to a guest room for a meal and rest.
Lin Ke glanced at the jade pendant in Qin Su's hand and wisely decided not to take it back.
If Lin Ke thought the powerful being in the jade pendant had mistaken him for someone else before he met her, then after Qin Su drove them all out and spent so much time alone with the powerful being, even he, in his dazed state, realized the truth.
The powerful figure behind this jade pendant and Qin Su truly knew each other.
As for why the young Miss Su and a powerful being who has been hidden in a jade pendant for countless years knew each other, that is hard to guess.
Most of the major sects and clans in the cultivation world have some unknown secrets.
Adhering to the principle of asking as few questions as possible, Lin Ke silently followed the maid.
Qin Su then turned her gaze to Ye Xun, whose movements had been following hers.
She had a bit of a headache dealing with this "defective product" that looked exactly like Ye Yan.
If the other person gets too close to her, Ye Yan will quickly activate her "jealousy overload" skill. But if she completely ignores him, then she is indeed a genuine part of Ye Yan.
"I'll talk to the outer sect manager and ask to transfer you to the inner sect," Qin Su said gently. "Do you have an elder you'd like to become an apprentice to? I can introduce you to one."
Ye Xun was silent for two seconds, then mustered his courage and asked, "May I become your disciple?"
The jade pendant in Qin Su's hand immediately began to get hot.
“No.” She refused immediately.
What a joke! Leaving aside whether Ye Yan would be furious, just imagine how she'd be facing two Ye Yans every day.
Perhaps it was because her tone was too firm, Ye Xun seemed a little hurt.
Qin Su had no choice but to add, "I haven't been cultivating for long enough to take on disciples as my master, and it wouldn't sound good if word got out. You should find someone else to become my disciple."
That's a lie.
The reason Qin Su chose the cultivation world as the first world is because it has the least suppression on her, and the abilities she can exert in this world are the ceiling of this world.
But Ye Xun didn't know that.
He felt that Qin Su spoke to him much more gently than she did to others, and that she was speaking earnestly and considerately of him, which made his eyes light up again.
"If I have any questions about cultivation, can I ask you?"
Qin Su felt it wasn't a big problem, so she agreed: "Okay."
Ye Yan thought about it for a moment and also felt that it didn't seem to be a big deal, so he stayed still and didn't get hot.
******
Fifteen years later.
As a bright sword light fell, several cracks appeared on the ground of the arena, and a person staggered and fell to the ground.
Lin Ke stood lightly on the stage, took the initiative to reach out and help the other person up, and said politely, "Thank you for your kind offer."
The person who was helped up thanked him awkwardly, then covered his face and hurriedly left the stage amidst the jeers of the onlookers.
As Lin Ke walked into the courtyard, he listened helplessly to the faint whispers in the distance.
"That's Lin Ke. He won again. It seems he's the undisputed champion this time."
"I heard that he was just a useless spiritual root more than ten years ago. Later, it was the eldest daughter of the Su family who devoted herself to cultivating him, which is why he is so successful today."
"Really? Fairy Su? Why would Fairy Su help him?"
"There were rumors that the two were engaged, but Lin Ke denied it, saying that he could not disrespect his elders, and that Fairy Su was his master."
"No way, the two of them are only a few years apart in age."
"On the path of cultivation, how can one determine seniority based on age?"
"That's true."
Why can't these people just talk quietly behind someone's back? Why are they making such a loud noise? Are they afraid others won't hear them?
Lin Ke inwardly cried out in alarm.
Sure enough, as soon as he pushed open the courtyard gate, cold, sharp eyes attacked him from three different places.
One source was the jade pendant on the table, another was the shadow in the dark, and yet another was Ye Xun, who stood openly beside Qin Su.
Ye Xun said calmly, "Congratulations, Junior Brother Lin, on winning another match. You truly deserve the Young Miss's personal guidance over the years."
Lin Ke: "..."
He knew it.
Just because Qin Su didn't take Ye Xun as his apprentice but instead took him in, he was subjected to Ye Xun's sarcastic remarks for fifteen years.
Every time Ye Xun saw him, he would act all hostile, and if they occasionally met in a secluded place, he would look like he wanted to stab him.
He pretended not to understand and cupped his hands in thanks to Ye Xun, saying, "Thank you."
Ye Xun stabbed Lin Ke once and then ignored him, turning his attention back to Qin Su.
"If you like it, Miss, I'll go to other secret realms to find it next time."
Lin Ke then noticed a brocade box in front of Qin Su, containing two flowers that seemed to shimmer with starlight. This appeared to be an extremely rare plant, famous for its beauty and difficulty in picking.
It seems this was given to Qin Su by Ye Xun. Lin Ke clicked his tongue in amazement and couldn't help but glance at the jade pendant again.
Over the years, although he didn't know how powerful the person in the jade pendant was, he did know how jealous the other party was.
It's simply unparalleled in the world.
Sometimes Lin Ke even felt that Ye Yan shouldn't live in the jade pendant, but rather in a vinegar vat.
He secretly called Ye Yan "Senior Jealousy" in private.
