Three days later, in the outskirts of the city, in the Monster Forest.
Qin Qing stood at the entrance of the Monster Forest, sword in hand, looking at Qin Wan beside him with a complicated expression.
"Sister, will the Xiao family really send someone?"
Are you kidding me?
Let her write a letter to inform them, and the Xiao family will send someone to accompany them into the Monster Forest for training.
In particular, Qin Wan asked her to invite Xiao Ci, the head of the Xiao family.
Meeting Qin Qing's doubtful gaze, Qin Wan reached out and patted her shoulder, reassuring her with confidence, "You have to believe in yourself."
Qin Qing: "..."
She's not the female lead, and she doesn't have the female lead's halo, so how can she believe in herself?
Meeting Qin Qing's indescribable gaze, Qin Wan smiled meaningfully.
You should know that Qin Qing, the transmigrator of the book, has a lucky charm constitution.
Otherwise, Xiao Ye and the original owner of the body had been engaged for over twenty years. They hadn't broken off the engagement earlier or later, but after the transmigrator arrived, Xiao Ye suddenly broke off the engagement and instead asked to marry the transmigrator.
The hidden story behind this...
Last night, Qin Wan carefully searched through the original owner's memories, and only then did she vaguely have an answer in her heart.
“Sister…” Qin Qing looked at Qin Wan, hesitating to speak.
"They're here," Qin Wan reminded them.
Upon hearing this, Qin Qing subconsciously turned around and looked at the two people who had appeared in front of her at some point. Qin Qing's expression was indescribable.
Xiao Ci, the famous and elusive head of the Xiao family, actually appeared.
Not only Xiao Ci, but also Xiao Ye, that blind male lead.
Is she really the female lead?
There's nothing she can't do if she sets her mind to it.
Qin Qing looked at Qin Wan with a complicated expression, a hint of envy in her eyes.
"Little sister, I will always stand by your side!" Qin Qing said earnestly, as if making a promise.
At the same time, her thoughts echoed in Qin Wan's mind.
Qin Qing has always been a Buddhist, not seeking something as unattainable as the female lead's halo, but only hoping to get rid of the female supporting character's halo.
She just wanted to be a gentle and considerate older sister.
She wasn't interested in the tragic love story between the male and female leads at all.
If she could, and if she had the ability, she would even want the female lead to kick Xiao Ye, that blind and heartless jerk.
Alas, what a pity, she was just an insignificant cannon fodder female supporting character.
First, she had to try her best to survive by clinging to life.
Finally, only when she becomes powerful enough to disregard the existence of the male and female protagonists' halo can she succeed.
At that time, she might be able to give it a try.
Unfortunately, thinking about these things now is futile; everything is too far away now.
Qin Qing's inner thoughts were so vivid and so verbose that Qin Wan's temples throbbed with urgency.
To interrupt her rambling thoughts and inner complaints, Qin Wan had no choice but to speak up and bring her back to the right track.
"After entering the Monster Forest, I'll have to trouble you to take good care of Wan'er, sister," Qin Wan said.
As soon as she said this, all three people present turned their gazes to her.
Qin Qing immediately patted her chest and assured her, "Don't worry, little sister, as long as I have a breath left, I will never let anyone harm you."
Seeing how much Qin Qing cared about Qin Wan, Xiao Ye was filled with mixed emotions, and a deep sense of guilt appeared in his gaze as he looked at Qin Qing.
It was all because of him that Qingqing was implicated.
The sisters already had a good relationship.
Now, because of him, Qingqing feels guilty towards Qin Wan.
Knowing Qingqing's personality, she will definitely suffer a lot of grievances along the way in order to make up for Qin Wan...
Thinking of this, Xiao suddenly spoke up, "Qingqing, I will protect you."
"As long as I have a breath left, I will never let anyone touch you."
Qin Qing: "?"
Qin Wan's lips twitched almost imperceptibly.
Even Xiao Ci, who had been expressionless, couldn't help but frown slightly upon hearing these words... staring at Xiao Ye with a look that was hard to describe.
"A mistress," Xiao Ci couldn't help but remind Xiao Ye to stop.
At the same time, Xiao Ci's innermost thoughts also resonated in Qin Wan's mind.
Did you leave your brain at home when you went out?
Qin Wan almost burst out laughing, but fortunately she reacted quickly, lowering her eyes to hide the deep smile in her eyes and the high curve of her lips.
"Brother Xiao..."
Just as everyone was preparing to set off into the Monster Forest, Qin Wan suddenly looked up and stared straight at Xiao Ci.
Xiao Ci: "?"
Isn't he the head of the Xiao family?
Did he agree to her changing how she addresses him?
Unsolicited kindness is either a sign of ulterior motives or theft...
"Speak." Xiao Ci frowned slightly, his eyes... staring at Qin Wan with a complicated expression.
Based on his previous personality, he would never have paid any attention to Qin Wan's unwarranted attempts to get close to him.
but……
Who told him to knock that delicate young girl into the lake last time? No matter what, he owes Qin Wan a debt.
The reason he accepted the Qin family's invitation to the Monster Forest was also out of a desire to make amends to Qin Wan.
Of course, there is also a very small part of the reason, which is that he couldn't resist Xiao Ye's disturbances and entanglements.
Although the Xiao family is very strong, the Qin family is not weak either.
The marriage alliance between the Xiao and Qin families was intended to strengthen their respective power, not to create bitter enemies.
However, the incident of Xiao Ye announcing his engagement and then proposing to marry her has caused constant friction between the Xiao and Qin families in recent days, and the peaceful scene of the past is no longer visible.
Even Xiao Ci, Xiao Ye's older brother, thought that Xiao Ye's actions this time were both stupid and excessive, and that he hadn't brought his brain with him when he went out.
If the trip to the Monster Forest can alleviate the current situation between the two families and also provide an opportunity to make amends to Qin Wan, then neither he nor Xiao will owe Qin Wan anything anymore.
"Brother Xiao, as you know, I am a born cripple and cannot cultivate sword energy."
"The Demon Beast Forest is fraught with danger, and my sister's cultivation is limited. I'm afraid we'll have to trouble Brother Xiao to take care of us sisters."
"Mm." Xiao Ci nodded slightly, which was considered as agreeing to Qin Wan's request.
Upon hearing this, Qin Wan smiled contentedly.
It's good that you agreed.
The four of them set off together.
On the outskirts of the Monster Forest, Qin Wan, Xiao Ci, and Qin Qing remained still, leaving all the provocative and troublesome monsters to be dealt with by Xiao Ye.
After entering the inner perimeter of the Monster Forest, Qin Qing finally drew her sword and joined Xiao Ye in fighting the monsters.
Qin Wan... still stood obediently beside Xiao Ci, watching the show, and didn't forget to comment on Xiao Ye's swordsmanship, picking and choosing.
"Young Master Xiao's swordsmanship is weak and feeble. His moves look fancy, but his actual attack power is very low. He is a prime example of someone who is all show and no substance."
Qin Wan's voice was neither too loud nor too soft, but just loud enough for the four people around her to hear clearly.
Xiao Ye's hand gripping the sword trembled violently, and he glared angrily at Qin Wan.
"He was half-hearted during the fight, no wonder that Young Master Xiao's cultivation has always lagged behind his two elder brothers for many years."
Xiao Ye: "!!!"
Xiao glared angrily at Qin Wan, opening his mouth to say something, when a fierce attack came straight at his face.
Xiao immediately composed himself and focused intently on raising his sword to fight back.
After glancing indifferently at Xiao Ye's disheveled and useless appearance, Xiao Ci's gaze unusually fell on Qin Wan.
[Xiao Ci's favorability increased by 5, current favorability is 7.]
