Chapter 82: You still like her, so you have to be sincere in exchange.
"You don't like Jiang Zhaoyue at all, do you?"
Qin Ziyan calmed down, but Lian Yueqing did not answer him directly. He raised his eyes and stared at him quietly in the darkness and depth.
"Brother Qin, I don't care what you think. I don't care how you feel. If you think I've deceived you, you can leave now."
He is a person who is too good at disguising himself.
The murderous intent was clearly in his eyes, yet he was still able to act so hypocritically, making it difficult for people to distinguish the truth from the ambiguity.
Jiang Zhaoyue didn't have to expose him. After all, what did Qin Ziyan do to her? At best, she just liked to watch the fun.
Therefore, when he said this, she did not rush to refute him. She just glanced at the two of them with a smile, then turned to talk to Lou Xuanyin who was watching.
"Senior Lou."
Lou Xuanyin responded kindly, and his expression seemed no different from how he usually treated Lian Yueqing and Qin Ziyan.
However, Jiang Zhaoyue still saw a hint of emotion in his eyes.
This mysterious leader, who appears gentle and kind on the outside but is mysterious on the inside, seems to have a deep-seated fear of her.
Jiang Zhaoyue stared into his eyes for a while until the headmaster took the initiative to speak: "Young friend, is there something on my face?"
"Yes, I have."
She nodded, her expression no longer revealing a joke, and spoke directly, "Senior, please send me a message. I'm very interested in you."
These words undoubtedly made the two people who were still in a stalemate look over quickly.
Lian Yueqing's eyes flashed with displeasure, but her expression remained calm. Qin Ziyan, on the other hand, took a few steps forward, stood in front of Lou Xuanyin, and said clearly and firmly, "No."
Without waiting for Jiang Zhaoyue to say anything else, he looked at her with a slightly disgusted look and his tone was cold.
"Young man, put away your flirting tactics. We are not Fu Lanting and have no interest in fighting for your favor. If you know what's going on, you should stay away from me. Otherwise, sooner or later, if you anger me, I will kill you."
Jiang Zhaoyue didn't care about his threat at all. She just raised the corners of her lips, and it was hard to tell whether the smile was gentle or provocative.
"Master Qin, if you're not afraid, why do you want to stop me? It's just that you're afraid that all your friends will fall in love with me, right?"
"What nonsense!"
Jiang Zhaoyue waved her hand casually at him: "Don't worry, I'm not that interested in you. I can't eat anything either. You're overthinking it."
After that, she narrowed her eyes and scanned the man in front of her from head to toe before she said boredly, "Senior, I still prefer plump ones, or at least pretty ones. I don't like boring old men, you can rest assured."
"you--"
Qin Ziyan almost took action.
Lou Xuanyin was quick-witted and quickly grabbed his arm, stopping him and saying, "Brother Qin, calm down. We are still in Yunmiao Immortal Sect."
Qin Ziyan gave him a cold look, pulled his arm free, and then sneered, "Lin Bozhou really taught a good apprentice. He's arrogant and conceited, just an ant. Do you really think you've got it?"
"Ah, yes, yes."
Jiang Zhaoyue spoke more and more perfunctorily, and simply looked past him to Lou Xuanyin behind him.
She threw a jade talisman at him and said, "There are still some things I would like to ask for your advice in the future."
Jiang Zhaoyue really wanted to ask him how he was able to spread the gossip to all seven major sects within a day.
"No answer."
Along with Qin Ziyan's voice, Lou Xuanyin took the action of catching the communication talisman.
The Xuanqi Sect Master held the jade talisman firmly, his face a little embarrassed, but he didn't stop moving. After putting his things away, he looked embarrassed: "Brother Qin, we are the Sect Masters after all, so it's not right to get too fussy with a junior..."
Qin Ziyan immediately took two or three steps away from him, his face cold and indifferent. "You were the one who did what happened to Lian Yueqing, weren't you? You're such a clever trickster! I used to think of you as a close friend, but I had no idea how deep Sect Leader Xuanqi's tricks were. I was just being stupid."
Lou Xuanyin's expression was slightly bitter: "Brother Qin, you have wronged me."
"You don't have to say much."
Qin Ziyan looked at Lian Yueqing again. "That's great! I used to laugh at Lin Bozhou and Fu Lanting becoming enemies, but now it seems they were at least close friends. What's wrong with you and me? We were just playing coy, standing by and watching, trying to take advantage of the situation. I only realized that today."
He turned his mocking gaze towards Jiang Zhaoyue: "I have to thank you, otherwise how would I know what ghosts and monsters are around me."
These words were a bit harsh, which showed that he was very angry.
Jiang Zhaoyue became interested instead.
She looked at them with great interest and asked excitedly, "Master Qin, are you also going to turn against each other?"
That look of watching the fun, mixed with impatient anticipation, fully revealed her cold and mean nature.
Qin Ziyan stared at her for a moment, then said calmly in her expectant gaze, "If someone like you becomes the leader of an immortal sect in the future, the world will be destroyed."
"ah?"
Jiang Zhaoyue was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help laughing.
She pointed at herself with a frown on her face.
"Me? The co-leader of the Immortal Sect? Sect Master Qin, are you serious?"
Although Jiang Zhaoyue was very confident in herself, being the co-leader of an immortal sect... sounded like a fairy tale. After all, she was just a small cultivator now.
The structure of the Donghao world has not changed in ten thousand years, and Qin Ziyan said it in such a serious tone, as if she was really a monstrous beast that could make the seven major immortal sects bow down to her in an instant. It makes people feel happy just thinking about it.
So she sighed with a bright smile: "I didn't know people before. You are all so interesting, even more interesting than Senior Lian Yue."
Lou Xuanyin said kindly with a smile in his tone, "Thank you for the compliment, young friend."
Qin Ziyan frowned slightly and said nothing, but the displeasure in Lian Yueqing's eyes was almost revealed on his face.
He's clearly not one to enjoy having attention taken away from him, no matter what kind of attention it is.
He claimed to be the most special person in the world, a god who watched everything in the world from the sidelines. But now Jiang Zhaoyue actually felt that people like Lou Xuanyin, who was unremarkable, and Qin Ziyan, who was dull and boring, were more special than him.
A dark emotion flashed across his face, and his gentle mask returned to his face.
Lian Yueqing walked to Jiang Zhaoyue and squatted down, looking up at her and speaking softly.
"Are they more interesting than Fu Lanting in your eyes?"
This was a strange question, at least apart from the two of them, everyone else seemed a little confused.
Jiang Zhaoyue still smiled and replied, "Senior Lian Yue, what do you want to say? Do you want me to praise you for being interesting or special? But in my opinion, you are really mediocre, self-righteously mediocre. Are you satisfied with my answer?"
Naturally dissatisfied.
Lian Yueqing's expression remained unchanged, but countless emotions were surging in his eyes. He seemed to sigh softly, "Why are you so cold to me, young friend?"
"Oh? Are you jealous?"
Jiang Zhaoyue looked down into his eyes, not knowing what she saw in them. She suddenly bent down, lowered her head and moved closer to him, and her fingertips touched Lian Yueqing's cheek, very lightly, but with an irresistible power.
She lifted his face, seemingly jokingly but with seriousness.
She looked him straight in the eyes and said word by word, "Lian Yueqing, you claim to know everything in the world, but you don't even understand such a simple truth. Sincerity must be exchanged for sincerity. You are full of calculations and conspiracies, so naturally you can only get the same calculations and conspiracies. This is what you deserve."
The gentle smile on Lian Yueqing's face paused for a moment. He looked at the woman in front of him from a very close distance, and finally revealed some of his emotions in his eyes.
I don't know if it's the tone of argument or calculation.
He smiled faintly: "But my friend, are you sincere towards Fu Lanting or Jiang Qiying?"
Before Jiang Zhaoyue could answer, he continued, "You are such a person yourself, my friend. We are clearly the same. Yet you question me like this. Aren't you being strict with others and lenient with yourself?"
"Is Lian Yue-senpai joking?"
Jiang Zhaoyue chuckled lightly, clearly without any sneer in her eyes, but Lian Yueqing could see mockery in her eyes.
"How can I be the same as you? I have never expected sincerity from my uncle or senior brother. I have never needed sincerity, but you want it, Senior Lian Yue. We are not the same people."
Lian Yueqing's smile faded a little, but she still stared at her intently and asked, "If Fu Lanting turned against you right now, would you be willing to accept it?"
Jiang Zhaoyue finally let go of his face.
Her eyes were extremely clear.
"Except for Master, no one is born to love me. I am very clear about this. Lian Yueqing, you are the one who is confused."
Lian Yueqing finally stopped the conversation.
He could barely maintain the smile on his face.
It took him a long time to stand up, and he went from looking up at her to looking down at her.
He looked down at Jiang Zhaoyue.
"Fu Lanting loves you so much, yet you say such words, my friend, you are so heartless."
It was clearly he who said such words, but now he said that she was heartless. However, he was clearly not speaking up for Fu Lanting. It was more like he could not accept it, as if some mask he had been maintaining for a long time had been exposed.
Jiang Zhaoyue just watched him quietly from beginning to end, watched his smile fade, watched him stand up, watched him almost unable to hide his emotions, watched the hatred and jealousy in his eyes overflow.
She kept looking at him until the very end, then she smiled broadly, full of malice: "You know what? I still like seeing you break down. It's much more pleasing to the eye than that hypocritical mask you put on. Human nature is inherently evil. This is your true self, Senior Lian Yue."
Lian Yueqing clenched his palms and did not answer her. Perhaps something in his heart was revealed, and he no longer had any interest in acting. Even Lou Xuanyin and Qin Ziyan beside him could see his clear and obvious indifference.
In the oppressive silence, the Jinyang Sect Leader, who had originally been thought to be acting infatuated, suddenly lowered his eyes at a certain moment, and a voice without any emotion was heard, which expressed his determination.
"Lian Yueqing, you still like her."
