Not long after Leng Yan left, Gong Cang received a voice message from Leng Yan. Gong Cang's face darkened after hearing the message. He walked into a room and closed the door with a bang.
Seeing him like this, Qin Du guessed that Leng Yan must have just said in a voice message that she had already told Master Yun, and that Master Yun had re-arranged her accommodation. This was indeed the case.
Qin Du looked at Gong Cang's closed door and sneered in his heart. Then he turned and walked out. When he walked out of the yard, he stopped a servant and asked, "Do you know where Leng Yan lives?"
The servant was on his way to Li Lengyan's residence to deliver something to her. He glanced at Qin Du and said, "Follow me." He turned and walked forward. Qin Du hurriedly followed him.
After a while, the two stopped in front of a room. The servant came forward and knocked on the door, saying, "Sir, the things you requested have been delivered." The door was opened immediately. Leng Yan took the things from the servant and said, "Thank you." The servant bowed and left.
Leng Yan then noticed Qin Du. She asked, "Junior brother, why are you here?" Qin Du said, "I was worried about you, so I came to see you." Leng Yan said, "I'm fine. You can go back."
Qin Du said "hmm" but was reluctant to leave. Leng Yan looked at him and asked calmly, "Is there anything else?" Qin Du took out the peony pendant he bought today and handed it to Leng Yan.
Leng Yan was stunned. "For me?" Qin Du nodded. Seeing Qin Du's pleading expression, Leng Yan swallowed the word "no". She raised her hand and took the ornament from Qin Du's hand and said, "I accept it. You should go back."
Leng Yan's fingertips touched Qin Du's palm while she was wearing the jewelry. Qin Du was startled. Leng Yan's fingertips were a little cold, and he could clearly feel it when they touched his hand. The feeling was tingling and very comfortable, like the gentle brush of a feather, which Qin Du liked very much.
Leng Yan saw Qin Du still staring at her and wondered if he wanted to see her put it on. She wasn't used to wearing jewelry, but she quickly figured out a solution. She took out her Hanyue Sword and fastened the ornament to the end of the hilt, using it as a tassel.
Qin Du was stunned. He watched Leng Yan tie the ornament to the sword as if it were a tassel. He was stunned for a moment, then smiled. It seemed that Senior Sister thought he was giving her a tassel. In the mortal world, a tassel is a token of love. A man giving a woman a tassel indicates his love for her, while a woman accepting the tassel represents her acceptance of the man's confession.
Qin Du smiled. It seemed that his senior sister knew nothing about this. But it didn't matter if she didn't know. Let others envy her.
Qin Du then said goodbye to Leng Yan and prepared to go back. At this moment, Leng Yan asked, "Young Master Yun, are you planning to stay hidden behind the tree? Don't you plan to come out and sit for a while?"
Qin Du followed Leng Yan's gaze and looked towards a large tree. The tree looked very old, about half a meter wide, with lush branches and leaves. The half-meter-wide trunk was more than wide enough for a person to hide behind.
Qin Du then saw a man walk out from behind the tree. It was Yun Anyuan. Yun Anyuan approached and said with an awkward smile, "Fellow Daoist Leng, Fellow Daoist Qin, good evening!" Leng Yan looked at Yun Anyuan and asked, "Why is Young Master Yun behind the tree?"
Yun Anyuan glanced around and said, "I was just bored, so I went out for a walk, but I didn't expect to end up here with Fellow Daoist Leng."
Qin Du glanced at Yun Anyuan and then said to Leng Yan, "Senior Sister, since Young Master Yun walked here accidentally and it's getting late, Young Master Yun and I will leave first. It just so happens that he and I have something to talk about."
Leng Yan nodded and watched Qin Du pull Yun Anyuan away, then she returned to the house.
Back in the house, Leng Yan looked at the tassel on the hilt of her sword, pondered for a moment, and ultimately did not remove it. She was not used to wearing a tassel on her sword, but after all, it was a token of her junior brother's kindness, and she couldn't refuse and hurt his feelings.
On the other side, Yun Anyuan looked at Qin Du and asked, "Fellow Daoist Qin, why did you pull me away?" Qin Du looked at him and said, "I know you like my senior sister, but there are so many people in the entire cultivation world who like my senior sister. Even the elders and the sect master like my senior sister. Do you still think you can pursue my senior sister?"
Yun Anyuan immediately lost heart when he heard what he said. He asked Qin Du, "So what do you think I should do?" Qin Du gestured for him to come closer. After Yun Anyuan came closer, Qin Du whispered something in his ear. Yun Anyuan's face lit up with joy after hearing it. He looked at Qin Du and asked, "Are you telling the truth?" Qin Du nodded and said, "Why would I lie to you?"
Yun Anyuan finally felt relieved after hearing what he said. He said to Qin Du, "If this really succeeds, you will definitely benefit from it." Qin Du smiled and said nothing. Looking at Yun Anyuan leaving, Qin Du curled his lips into a cold smile.
It would be strange if Yun Anyuan could really succeed. What he just told Yun Anyuan was what they told him in his previous life that Leng Yan hated the most.
Qin Du turned around and slowly walked towards his own residence. Now that Yun Anyuan, his love rival, had been dealt with, the remaining four people, Wen Shi, would be difficult to deal with. He needed to think carefully about how to deal with them all.
