Chapter 20 Two Types of Confrontation I wonder if he is pretending...
It was a day later when Jiang Zhaoyue finished refining the Wind Spirit Essence Crystal.
Luo Huaiyin didn't come back until the next day, and when he came back he said to her, "That loser named Chu has always held a grudge against you, so be careful."
Jiang Zhaoyue was a little curious: "Did he ask you to cooperate? The Chu family is not bad. Although Chu Jinyang is a bit useless, there are still many geniuses in the side branches. If Senior Brother can get this help, wouldn't it be a good thing?"
Hearing her say this, Luo Huaiyin looked her up and down, then chuckled and said:
"Are you testing me? Who am I? How could I cooperate with such a dirty-minded loser? Jiang Zhaoyue, I'm kindly reminding you, don't be ungrateful."
"How could that be?"
Jiang Zhaoyue looked at him seriously.
"I'm serious, Brother, you won't refuse, right? Is it because of me?"
"Don't be so sentimental."
Luo Huaiyin immediately retorted, perhaps feeling that his tone made his statement even more revealing, and added, "I'm a person of status. Do you think anyone can cooperate with me? I'm ashamed to cooperate with losers."
"Okay, okay, then just be happy."
She responded perfunctorily twice, and just as Luo Huaiyin was about to say something, she suddenly smiled at the person behind him: "A guest has arrived."
Luo Huaiyin turned around and looked in the direction of her voice, and saw Junior Brother Lin walking towards him from a distance with a strange look on his face, and a bit of confusion on his face.
As soon as he saw that it was someone from the Qi Ling Xian Sect, his expression turned slightly colder, and his tone was also tinged with an unfathomable chill.
"The people of Qiling Xianzong really do have some free time."
Jiang Zhaoyue glanced at him.
Junior Brother Lin was already approaching.
Perhaps because of Jiang Qiying, he was a little shy towards Luo Huaiyin. Seeing that he was there, he said politely, "Senior Sister Jiang, may I have a word with you for a moment?"
"What? Junior Brother Lin, do you have any objections to me? Is there anything you can't say in front of me?"
Luo Huaiyin was not the kind of person who couldn't understand the expressions on others' faces, but at this moment he had no intention of leaving. He just looked at Junior Brother Lin with a faint but somewhat pressured look.
Seeing the other party's embarrassed expression, his expression became even colder.
"How can a man and a woman be alone together? If you have anything to say, just say it here. I want to see how thick-skinned Junior Brother Jiang is. You're going back on your word and asking you to come again."
Junior Brother Lin wanted to cry but couldn't: "Senior Sister Jiang..."
He didn't have the skills to argue with Luo Huaiyin, so he could only look at Jiang Zhaoyue for help.
Jiang Zhaoyue understood and turned to walk to a secluded place: "Follow me."
Junior Brother Lin quickly followed.
After walking a few steps, I found that Luo Huaiyin was following me.
He was a little stunned.
Even if he wasn't familiar with him, he knew a little about Senior Brother Luo's name, but no one had ever told him that the number one prodigy of the Yunmiao Immortal Sect was so shameless.
Even though everything was clearly stated, he still followed as if he didn't understand. When he saw Junior Brother Lin looking back at him, he even said calmly, "You can talk about yourselves. I won't eavesdrop."
He was not eavesdropping, he was clearly listening openly.
At this time, Jiang Zhaoyue also stopped and saw that he had no guilty conscience. She smiled and said, "Okay."
After that, he said to Junior Brother Lin: "It's okay, go ahead."
Junior Brother Lin was encountering this strange and bizarre situation for the first time. He was silent for two breaths before finally speaking:
"Senior Sister Jiang, our Qiling Xianzong is willing to cooperate with you, but whoever gets the Dao Fruit will ultimately depend on the means used. If you get it, you must compensate the Qiling Xianzong disciples who participated in the war, and vice versa."
He just came to discuss cooperation.
Jiang Qiying had been feeling something ever since he said goodbye to Jiang Zhaoyue that day, or maybe he was just a stubborn and rigid person, so he always kept his promise and didn't take the initiative to get involved.
The reason why Junior Brother Lin came here was that he thought that instead of doing that, it would be better to cooperate directly and have the best of both worlds. Sect Master Yun Miao and Sect Master Qi Ling are good friends after all, and if they help Jiang Zhaoyue, it is in the interests of the Qi Ling Immortal Sect.
Having said that, he gritted his teeth and added, "Senior Brother Luo is good friends with Senior Brother Tian Liuyun from the Taiyuan Immortal Sect. Senior Brother Tian has invited quite a few geniuses these past two days. Senior Sister Jiang must be careful."
This was the first time for Junior Brother Lin to say something bad in front of someone, and his face turned red after he finished speaking.
Luo Huaiyin didn't care that he was saying bad things about him, and chuckled: "You people from the Qiling Immortal Sect really have a lot of free time."
Junior Brother Lin stopped talking, lowered his eyes, and waited for Jiang Zhaoyue's reply.
Jiang Zhaoyue certainly wouldn't refuse. She nodded amiably, "Okay, if I get it, I'll compensate you at one-third of the Dao Fruit's value."
Junior Brother Lin finally breathed a sigh of relief, and his smile became more genuine: "Thank you, Senior Sister Jiang."
Luo Huaiyin was unhappy in his heart, but he still wore a gentle smile on his face, like a warm senior brother. He placed his hand lightly on Junior Brother Lin's shoulder, and a hint of sarcasm appeared in his eyes: "You are worthy of being Jiang Qiying's junior brother."
Junior Brother Lin's body stiffened slightly, and he felt a chill and murderous intent quietly invading his heart.
He wanted to dodge, but the hand that was placed on him seemed to be an iron plate, nailing him to the spot.
It was Jiang Zhaoyue who noticed his abnormality and glanced at Luo Huaiyin.
Luo Huaiyin smiled and tapped Junior Brother Lin's shoulders twice with his fingertips before saying:
"Junior sister, you are too soft-hearted. I am afraid you will be deceived by a few words again. Let me help you to correct it. I am not the kind of person who insists on listening to others."
Jiang Zhaoyue stared at him quietly for a long time, until the smile on Luo Huaiyin's face began to stiffen. She then looked away and said to Junior Brother Lin, "You go back first."
"good."
Junior Brother Lin, who had wanted to leave for a long time, left decisively, not wanting to get involved in their love-hate relationship at all.
After he left, Luo Huaiyin started talking again, but his words were full of hidden meanings.
"Even though they're helping you this time, don't be soft-hearted. Do you still remember how Jiang Qiying humiliated you last time?"
"How humiliating?"
"He rejected you face to face and just gave you a Wind Spirit Crystal to send you away. Jiang Zhaoyue, you are a disciple of Master Yun Miao and hold a noble status. He relies on his own talent and looks down on you. Does he have the right to reject you?"
"that is."
As soon as he finished speaking, a voice echoed him.
Chu Jinhe had been busy these past two days, contacting geniuses from other forces for Jiang Zhaoyue, so he was not with Jiang Zhaoyue all the time. Now that he came back, he found that his position was about to be taken away by someone else, so he immediately moved closer to her, secretly pushing Luo Huaiyin away, but his face was very innocent.
"That's right, it's just a Wind Spirit Crystal. I guess it's nothing to Senior Brother Jiang, but Senior Brother Luo too. Why do you always say things that make Senior Sister unhappy? Unlike me, I just want Senior Sister to be happy. Even if Senior Brother Jiang and Senior Brother Luo bully me because of this, I don't care."
Chu Jinhe firmly occupied the position closest to Jiang Zhaoyue, carefully holding her arm, and glanced at Luo Huaiyin:
"Besides, Senior Brother Luo always tries to sow discord between Senior Sister and Senior Brother Jiang. If it's for Senior Sister's own good, you should accept what Senior Sister likes. But I'm different. Even if Senior Sister really becomes a Taoist partner with Senior Brother Jiang in the future, I will only be happy."
I made it clear to him.
Luo Huaiyin was quite good at talking, but every time he heard Chu Jinhe speak, he felt as uncomfortable as if he had swallowed a fly.
Just like now.
He opened his mouth, and it took a while for a word to come out.
"Chu Jinhe, are you mentally ill?"
"Senior Sister, Senior Brother Luo scolded me."
Chu Jinhe lowered his face to Jiang Zhaoyue's shoulder, his voice aggrieved and whimpering like a puppy: "I just feel sorry for Senior Sister. Senior Brother Luo always scolds people, and he always scolds me and Senior Sister. I don't mind, but he can't bully Senior Sister."
"When did I bully..."
"I know that my senior brother is jealous of Senior Brother Jiang and Senior Sister, so he has such a bad temper. Unlike me, I only hope that Senior Sister is happy. Senior Sister, am I too naive? That's why I can't understand my senior brother."
"Are you naive?"
Luo Huaiyin was so angry that he almost laughed.
The key point is that Jiang Zhaoyue is usually such a smart person, but he is like a blind person and can't see Chu Jinhe's pretense. He touched his head comfortingly and said softly: "How could it be? Jinhe is very good, don't pay attention to others."
"Jiang Zhaoyue, are you blind? He was clearly pretending—"
Before he could finish his words, he saw Jiang Zhaoyue glance at him and said calmly, "Brother, it's okay to bully me, but don't bully my little dog. How could I not know whether Jinhe was pretending or not?"
Then Chu Jinhe showed a wanton, triumphant, and favor-winning smile in her arms.
Luo Huaiyin shouldn't have bothered with a young boy. Whether Jiang Zhaoyue could see through him or not was none of his business. But he didn't know why, but a feeling of depression welled up in his heart that he couldn't swallow or spit out.
This emotion reached its peak when Jiang Zhaoyue embraced the aggrieved Chu Jinhe and walked away.
So much so that half an hour before the Tianyan Dao Fruit matured, Tian Liuyun came to find him and talked about what might happen in the future. Luo Huai's face was gloomy for a long time, still unable to swallow his anger, "I'm obviously doing this for her good, but does Jiang Zhaoyue have a heart?"
Tian Liuyun: “?”
No, he has been talking about the distribution of forces in the field for a long time. Are you wondering whether the 'enemy' has any intention?
After a moment of silence, Tian Liuyun spoke again, trying to regain his sanity: "Brother Luo, besides us and Jiang Zhaoyue, there are also the Jiyue Immortal Sect, the Dianxing Immortal Sect, Yunjian City... and other forces. They are all determined to obtain the Tianyan Dao Fruit. I think..."
"good."
Luo Huaiyin stopped talking abruptly and stood up suddenly. He didn't know what he remembered. He patted his shoulder and said with a smile: "Good brother, please help me plan it first. I have something else to do and will be back immediately."
After saying this, he disappeared without a trace in an instant without waiting for Tian Liuyun to react.
Tian Liuyun: “…”
The author has something to say:
----------------------
Luo Huaiyin: I’ve thought about it for a long time, but I still can’t get over it. Why are you being so mean to me?
Tian Liuyun: Successful career? Haha, even zombies wouldn't eat your brain.
