Chapter 85: Sudden Competition.
Lian Yueqing's eyes darkened for a moment, but he didn't seem displeased by her rejection. He simply smiled and said, "You still only care about him, but you've never considered that tying your heart to one person is a very dangerous thing. You give others the opportunity to hurt you."
"Um."
Jiang Zhaoyue nodded, still not caring about what he said.
"What does this have to do with Senior Lian Yue?" "I'm just thinking about you."
"Yeah?"
She smiled brightly, "I thought you were jealous of my Master."
Lian Yueqing paused for a moment, "I won't be jealous of a simple-minded person."
His tone was firm, but only he knew whether his words were true or not.
Jiang Zhaoyue didn't care about this, nor did he continue talking, but just looked at the other two masters.
"Do you two elders have any ideas?"
Qin Ziyan was already stunned by her conversation with Lian Yueqing, and now she answered almost subconsciously: "No, how could I have any method related to this kind of thing?"
Lou Xuanyin also shook his head: "There are ways to cover it up, but my friend, you spend every day with Brother Lin, so it would be difficult to hide it from him."
Seeing that they had no solution, Jiang Zhaoyue withdrew her gaze with a sense of regret. She stared at the sky for a while longer before sighing, "Looks like we need to form a bond."
"Who did you make a pact with? Fu Lanting?"
This sentence naturally came from Lian Yueqing's voice.
Jiang Zhaoyue glanced at him and seemed to ask seriously: "Who do you think is suitable?"
Lian Yueqing spoke frankly: "Fu Lanting has a cold and overbearing personality. Your pact with him is like being imprisoned."
As expected, the first person he mentioned was Fu Lanting. He then continued, "His disciple inherited his temperament, and isn't much better than him. He's just lying dormant because he lacks strength. If you form a pact with him, you'll easily suffer backlash in the future."
"As for the others, there's no need to talk about them. Without a strong character, it's difficult for them to achieve great things."
He analyzed it, and Jiang Zhaoyue listened carefully. Finally, she spoke:
"Then I will form a bond with you."
"good."
There was no hesitation in the word "OK", as if he had been waiting for her to say it.
Seeing Qin Ziyan's speechless expression beside him, Lian Yueqing remained calm. He looked at Jiang Zhaoyue and spoke in a very organized manner.
"You're not someone who likes to be bound, but in this world, strength and affection are both constraints. Only you and I are different. I won't restrain you, because the relationship between you and me is not purely emotional. Interests are the most solid bond."
Jiang Zhaoyue didn't say whether it was okay or not, but seemed to be really considering it. She thought for a moment and then said, "Tell me in detail."
Lian Yueqing then said, "At least I won't be like Fu Lanting. You just got a little close to a close male friend, and then you lost your temper and rushed out to beat him up. I will be very understanding of you."
“…”
Don't be too obvious about this sentence.
Jiang Zhaoyue was just thinking, but Qin Ziyan beside him couldn't help himself. He suppressed his frustration and confusion and said, "Lian Yueqing, do you know what you are talking about? A pact is a lifelong matter. We love each other deeply, and we promise to be together for life. How can this be a trivial matter?"
Didn't what he meant by that was to tell Jiang Zhaoyue that he didn't mind her going out and finding someone else?
Such words were too advanced for a rule-abiding person like Master Jinyang.
But Lian Yueqing just glanced at him lightly and even smiled.
He spoke slowly and without haste, "Brother Qin, you are the one who can't see clearly."
"You are so unrestrained, and you still say that I can't see clearly?"
Qin Ziyan's tone was even more inconceivable.
He glanced at Jiang Zhaoyue and said, "I really thought that a junior had some extraordinary ability to fascinate you like this. Now it seems that I was mistaken. He is just a little unruly at best. You have been like this for hundreds of years. Since you started it, it is hard to say that Lin Bozhou will not teach his disciples."
Lian Yueqing didn't answer him.
There is no need to explain too much to stupid people.
He even ignored Qin Zimo's gaze and said directly to Jiang Zhaoyue, "What do you think? Think about it. This is a mutually beneficial matter. You can't reach such an agreement with anyone else."
This was originally an outrageous idea. After all, the two people were not that familiar with each other, let alone to the point of forming a bond. There were at least several people around Jiang Zhaoyue who were closer to him than Lian Yueqing.
No sane person would really consider this.
But Jiang Zhaoyue considered it.
She thought about it for a long time before looking up at Lian Yueqing in the surprised eyes of the other two people.
She asked, "How can you guarantee the truthfulness of your words?"
Lian Yueqing immediately replied, "I can write it down in the Heavenly Dao Contract."
This is truly sincere.
A smile spread across Jiang Zhaoyue's brows. She sat up suddenly and held his hand.
"good."
The system was stunned to see its host pulling Master Ji Yue and making gestures to leave.
She immediately said, "Then let's go. Come back with me and tell my master today."
This action not only stunned the system, but also shocked the two masters next to it.
Lou Xuanyin hesitated to speak, but Qin Ziyan said directly, "Wait? What's good about that? Do you really want to form a contract?"
It is said that it is difficult for normal people to empathize with the thoughts of a madman.
Sect Leader Jin Yang couldn't figure out why these two people could reach the decision to form a bond in such a short time with just a few words.
But what he thought obviously could not influence the decisions of Jiang Zhaoyue and Lian Yueqing.
Jiang Zhaoyue glanced at him and smiled politely, saying gently, "Senior, you are welcome to come and play with me."
Lian Yueqing's smile deepened. Without looking at him, she said to Jiang Zhaoyue, "Okay, then let's go see your master."
As he spoke, he really walked towards the direction of Yunmiao Immortal Sect.
The surprise and astonishment on Qin Ziyan's face did not fade away at all, and his footsteps automatically followed behind them.
Lou Xuanyin naturally would not miss such "excitement".
So the group of four met Lin Bozhou a quarter of an hour later.
Before the master could blame Lian Yueqing for secretly seducing his disciple away, he was almost fainted by the matter of "making a contract".
"What did you say?"
Lin Bozhou's last tone suddenly rose.
Jiang Zhaoyue snuggled up to him, shook the corner of his sleeve, and said in a coquettish voice: "Master, I want to form a pact with Senior Lian Yue."
The master's mind was in a mess. He couldn't believe that these words came from his disciple's mouth. He was stunned for a long time before he calmed down and asked slowly, "Zhaoyue, did he threaten you?"
"No."
Jiang Zhaoyue blushed slightly, as if shy, and whispered a few words in his ear.
Lin Bozhou's expression changed from astonishment to sudden realization, and then turned ashen again.
He looked at Lian Yueqing coldly and uttered a few words: "What a sensible Master Jiyue, you are so generous."
As the head of a sect, he can even come up with such conditions. How can we not say that he is amazing?
Lian Yueqing's expression remained unchanged, even softening slightly. He spoke slowly, "Brother Lin, your disciple came to visit you today and committed an insubordination. I have already forgiven him. Brother Lin, you shouldn't doubt my sincerity."
No matter which sect leader was in charge, killing Chu Jinhe would be a big deal. The Yunmiao Immortal Sect had no reason to seek justice, but Lian Yueqing did not care about it, which was indeed tolerant and generous.
However, this was only the opinion of outsiders. Lin Bozhou knew very well that he was not angry, but he was just very cunning.
If he had to choose someone to be his disciple's companion, he would rather it be Fu Lanting, at least Fu Lanting's words and deeds were all in the open.
After staring deeply at Lian Yueqing, Lin Bozhou lowered his head and relaxed his expression.
He said with a hint of coaxing, "Zhaoyue, he's a man of deep thoughts, and he can act out his feelings to the fullest. He's really not the right person for a Taoist partner. If you stay with him, you'll be bullied to the bone."
Jiang Zhaoyue blinked and said innocently, "But Senior Lian Yue said that he won't bind me after we form a bond."
Lin Bozhou gritted his teeth for a moment and exchanged a glance with the Second Elder beside him: "Call Fu Lanting...Call Jiang Qiying too."
After the Second Elder left, he continued to look at Lian Yueqing with cold eyes, including Qin Ziyan and Lou Xuanyin beside him.
"Zhao Yue was naive and was deceived by your words. Lian Yueqing, don't think that your schemes and tricks will work on us."
Lian Yueqing just smiled and didn't get angry.
Soon, Fu Lanting and Jiang Qiying arrived at the banquet hall.
A heavy cloud hung over Master's face, but he didn't let it out. He simply walked a few steps to Jiang Zhaoyue's side and said in a low voice, "Zhaoyue, do you want to form a pact with him?"
Jiang Zhaoyue nodded slightly, but before she could say anything, he held her hand and pressed it against his chest.
The outline of his palm was clear, and Fu Lanting's dark eyes were tinged with a bit of dimness. His voice became lower, but his tone was hard to tell whether it was teasing or deliberate seduction.
"You really... don't want your uncle anymore?"
Jiang Zhaoyue's eyes jumped, and the words that were about to come out of his mouth slowed down and could not be said directly.
Her gaze fixed on her palm, as if she were seeing the beauty beneath through the fabric of her clothes. It was obvious what this action meant.
Most of the people present had dark expressions.
Lin Bozhou looked at him with some disdain. After all, they were now united against the outside world. He said nothing, but just snorted coldly, still directing his hostility towards Lian Yueqing.
"Get out, Lian Yueqing. If I see you messing with Zhaoyue again, I'll kill you."
Lian Yueqing's gentle smile faded a little. He didn't respond to Lin Bozhou's words, but glanced at Jiang Zhaoyue and Fu Lanting before saying with a smile, "Zhaoyue, Brother Fu is angry, so try to comfort him. He's in a high position, so it's only natural for him to have a bad temper. I understand."
Beside him, Qin Ziyan looked at his smile with disbelief.
Sect Leader Jinyang looked at him, then at Fu Lanting, and finally fixed his gaze on Jiang Zhaoyue.
He opened his mouth, and finally said in shock: "No, you..."
Before he could finish his words, he saw Jiang Qiying beside him with his eyes slightly lowered. He walked to Jiang Zhaoyue, his profile was fragile, and his voice sounded sad and lost.
"Junior sister...wants to form a pact with Sect Leader Lian Yue?"
Senior Brother Jiang's eyelashes trembled, as if he was about to cry, but he quickly turned his face away, as if he didn't want anyone to see his tears.
But that fragile posture is hard to ignore.
"I'm sorry, Junior Sister, but I... am really sad."
