Chapter 224
"No need." Qin Su closed the brocade box. "The flowers are beautiful, but not very useful. Just look at them."
Ye Xun said, "Then I'll see if there's anything else worth bringing back for Miss next time."
This has happened countless times in the past decade or so.
Qin Su dismissed him as usual, saying, "You have a match tomorrow, go back and rest early."
Although it was clearly a message to send someone away, Ye Xun seemed to hear words of comforting concern and smiled, saying, "I will definitely do my best in the competition tomorrow and live up to Miss's expectations."
However, before leaving, he still gave Lin Ke a cold look.
As soon as Lin Ke returned, the young lady chased him away. Who else could it be but Lin Ke's fault?
If he hadn't observed for many years and realized that Qin Su truly had no other feelings for Lin Ke, he would have been unable to restrain himself long ago.
As soon as Ye Xun's figure disappeared outside the courtyard, Ye Yan appeared beside Qin Su.
He pushed the brocade box containing the flowers on the table aside and said angrily, "What kind of lousy flowers are these? Do you think anyone can't pick them? If Su Su wants to see them, we can go and see them for ourselves."
It was Qin Su who decided not to let Ye Yan and Ye Xun meet.
After all, the two look exactly alike. If Ye Xun saw Ye Yan behaving intimately with Qin Su, he might be provoked.
One Ye Yan is enough to deal with, who wants another Ye Xun?
Qin Su replied perfunctorily, "Okay, okay, we'll go see it later."
Ye Yan: "Lin Ke is such a disappointment. He's been working so hard for fifteen years and he's still not quite there yet. He's definitely not trying..."
Lin Ke stared intently at the eaves, pretending not to hear Ye Yan and Qin Su's flirtatious banter.
As a disciple, one should pretend to be deaf and dumb when necessary.
However, as he listened, seeing that Ye Yan was about to bring up the old grudge of him being Qin Su's ex-fiancé, Lin Ke was afraid that Ye Yan would take the opportunity to instruct (beat him up), so he quickly said, "I have two questions when I am cultivating the mental technique, and I need to go and ask Teacher Ye for advice."
This "Teacher Ye" refers to the man in blue who is the leader of Qin Su's secret guards.
Ye Yan waved his hand impatiently at him, signaling him to get lost.
Lin Ke ran around skillfully, searching halfway around the courtyard, and finally found the man in blue in a secluded corner.
The man in blue stood in the dim light, gazing at the couple in the distance, looking alone and desolate.
"Sigh." Lin Ke paused, then sighed, "Why are you doing this to yourself?"
The man in blue did not speak.
The mask covered his face, and Lin Ke couldn't see his expression, but he could roughly guess what he was thinking.
Lin Ke shook his head and sighed, "You and Ye Xun, I really don't understand. After all these years, why don't you two give up? My master and Senior Jealousy clearly have a past connection and deep feelings. How can anyone else have a chance?"
The man in blue said indifferently, "You wouldn't understand."
Lin Ke said, "I really don't understand. Just looking at you guys makes me scared. I don't dare to get too close to pretty girls."
The word "love" is truly the most tormenting thing in the world.
Ye Xun was the only peerless master Lin Ke had ever encountered in his life, and the man in blue was also unfathomably skilled. Yet, these two people were troubled by love and stubbornly waited for someone who would never turn back.
Lin Ke would often think of the two of them as soon as he started to develop a slight liking for a girl, and then he would be so frightened by the thought that he might end up in the same situation one day that he would lose all romantic feelings and become completely apathetic.
He was unaware that, according to the original timeline, he already had four confidantes at this point.
Qin Su also mentioned this issue to Ye Yan: "It seems that Long Aotian's harem has been wiped out by our Butterfly. The girl who was supposed to be his wife, I saw her with a Buddhist cultivator the other day."
Ye Yan said nonchalantly, "If it's gone, it's gone. Leaving this womanizer might actually be a good thing."
Qin Su rested her chin on her hand and laughed, "I thought he would go out and flirt with other women, so I was prepared to double his daily cultivation tasks if I caught him doing so. I didn't expect him to be so well-behaved."
Ye Yan added, "I don't think he's being very honest either. He's probably not working hard enough. He should push himself even harder."
After considering it for a moment, Qin Su said mercifully, "Forget it, we can't push our kids too hard. It would be a loss if we drove them crazy."
Ye Yan said with a mournful tone, "At this rate, it will take another ten years..."
"Ten years is fine, it's not like we can't wait that long."
...
The two leaned against each other, chatting away.
"Su Su, this time I'll be waiting for you in the void. Will you come looking for me?"
"certainly."
"There's something else I want to say to you..."
"Shh, we'll talk about it later."
