Chapter 96 How the hell could I run into this?
As she was complaining, Lin Yujin's eyes suddenly lit up, and she nudged Jiang Xianwan's arm with her elbow, "I've thought of a way to make money."
Knowing his junior brother's character well, Jiang Xianwan shook his head frantically, "Junior brother, I want to live a few more days."
They actually wanted to bid on Hua Buxiu's personal items.
It's terrifying to even think about.
Lin Yujin buried her face back in disappointment, "What a pity about the underpants that I secretly hid from the Flower Beauty."
As soon as he said that, the three of them stared at him with distorted eyes.
Their faces all said the same thing—
You actually stole Hua Buxiu's underwear!
Are you perhaps planning to commit treason and bring ruin upon your ancestors?
Furthermore, I treated you as my junior brother (senior brother), and you actually wanted to become our Earth Master's wife!
Lin Yujin shuddered under the gaze of three pairs of eyes, and belatedly realized that she felt a chill.
He clutched his chest and spat out the scallion pancake in disgust.
Prove your innocence loudly!
"Stop giving me those lewd, lewd looks! It was an accident!"
"I threw the talisman my junior sister gave me into his room and accidentally burned a hole in his underwear."
"It's not because I'm afraid he'll beat me up, I secretly buried it in the ground outside my junior sister's door."
Jiang Xianwan's eyelids twitched. "Why are you burying this in front of my door?"
Lin Yujin said confidently, "He would never have thought of digging up the land in front of your door!"
Jiang Xianwan: "..." Thank you.
Su Qingliu couldn't bear to look at him. She turned her head and looked at the group of four people who walked in, her brows furrowing involuntarily.
How could I possibly run into someone like that?
Jiang Xianwan was holding a bowl when, just as she followed his gaze, a 'crack' sounded as wild fruit, along with a branch, fell from the tree.
The accident happened so suddenly that Bai Ziye and Su Qingliu grabbed onto the tree branch at the same time, while Jiang Xianwan leaned back to avoid it.
Lin Yujin threw away the scallion pancake in her hand and grabbed the fruit that was about to smash into Jiang Xianwan's bowl.
The four people: "..." Oh yeah! Perfectly dodged!
Lin Qingran saw the four people under the tree, smiled faintly with narrowed eyes, and did not feel embarrassed at all. "Junior Sister Jiang, what a coincidence, I didn't expect to meet you here."
Pei Chang'an naturally noticed them as well. Seeing Jiang Xianwan surrounded by three teenagers, pinching leaves off her head and wiping her hands, he had a complicated expression. "Junior Sister Jiang... what's wrong with you...?"
It was quite a coincidence that Jiang Xianwan met the female lead here; she still had a look of shock and confusion in her eyes.
Are she and the female lead truly incompatible according to their birth charts?
Furthermore, as soon as she left the Taixu Sect, she noticed a dozen or so dogs sneaking around, crouching in the bushes, acting like rogue cultivators.
Xiong Batian is too weak.
Lin Qingran had clearly recovered from her injuries, and it just so happened that she left the Taixu Sect today.
Lin Yujin removed the leaves from Jiang Xianwan's head and glared at Pei Chang'an, annoyed. "Can't you see for yourself? You should have checked the almanac before you went out."
He had every reason to suspect that Pei Chang'an and his group were deliberately following behind him.
Pei Chang'an: "..."
He'd be a fool if he couldn't understand something from that.
After being subjected to inexplicable stares from the disciples of the Taixu Sect for several days, Pei Chang'an awkwardly led his two equally embarrassed junior brothers to sit silently under another tree.
Leaving is not an option, nor is staying.
Lin Qingran insisted on coming to see this secret place before she would go back, and before she could even say anything, tears were welling up in her eyes.
Pei Chang'an let out a desperate sigh. The moment they sat down, their bright red robes as direct disciples of the Eternal Sect caused an instant commotion.
Some people whispered among themselves, "Isn't that a direct disciple of the Eternal Sect? And that girl sitting next to Pei Chang'an is Lin Qingran, another direct disciple of the Mist Sect Leader?"
"I heard that she participated in the alchemy competition for disciples of the Taixu Sect, and strange phenomena have been occurring frequently..."
Listening to the rustling discussions, Lin Qingran's expression grew increasingly grim.
Plague God?
A jinx?
These brainless rogue cultivators, don't they understand that it's because she has such a strong female lead aura?
Pei Chang'an lowered his head in sorrow.
He had been out so many times, but he had never felt so ashamed, nor had he ever felt such an urge to run away.
But these people... aren't wrong either.
Thinking about everything that had happened since he came to the Taixu Sect, Pei Chang'an felt extremely suffocated these past few days, and found the situation increasingly bizarre.
His gaze inevitably fell on Jiang Xianwan, who was diligently eating a pancake.
Jiang Xianwan always seems to have more bad luck than others whenever she encounters Lin Qingran.
Immediately afterwards, this bad luck seemed to rebound automatically, and Lin Qingran, who was always lucky, suffered a series of misfortunes.
They seemed to be born incompatible.
Out of the corner of his eye, he caught Lin Qingran's expression, which was thoughtful but instantly turned into disbelief and astonishment.
Pei Chang'an suddenly exclaimed, "Junior Sister!"
Before Lin Qingran could conceal the coldness in her eyes, she was startled by a sharp shout and turned her head to see Pei Chang'an's extremely complicated gaze.
She then realized that the murderous intent she had shown to Jiang Xianwan had been seen through by him. Her face turned pale, and she lowered her head in a panic, her voice choked with tears as she cautiously said, "Senior Brother."
She is very smart.
She knew how to dispel Pei Chang'an's doubts.
Sure enough, Pei Chang'an softened upon hearing the unpleasant discussions around him.
Lin Qingran had never suffered much hardship and was the envied and beloved junior sister of everyone in the sect.
To be subjected to such wanton and arbitrary criticism, my reaction just now was barely acceptable...
What does that count for?
Pei Chang'an thought for a moment, then used the excuse that "perhaps I was still a bit too harsh" to forcefully suppress the irritation in his heart.
He observed for several days and indeed did not find any unusual behavior from Lin Qingran, but a doubt remained in his mind.
They left the Taixu Sect one step later, and Lin Qingran couldn't possibly have missed hearing Su Qingliu and the others talking about going to the secret realm.
Instead of returning directly to the sect, they insisted on coming along to join the fun.
Pei Chang'an silently told himself, 'I must keep a close eye on her!'
We can only offer gentle comfort first, but in reality, we must warn them: "The innocent are innocent, there is no need to trouble themselves."
Lin Qingran felt relieved, afraid that the beauty encyclopedia she had worked so hard to light up would go out again, and nodded obediently with a pale face.
Seeing the three teenagers surrounding Jiang Xianwan still made her feel a pang of sadness.
Su Qingliu and the others should have developed feelings for her.
But now, not one of the three boys has even glanced at her.
Hua Buxiu was supposed to be her other master, but now Jiang Xianwan has taken him away.
Especially after encountering Jiang Xianwan, the system inexplicably malfunctioned several times.
Since they had voluntarily left the Taixu Sect and were no longer under her protection, she was naturally unwilling to let go of such a good opportunity.
Furthermore, rare treasures may appear in this unassuming secret realm.
The system hiding in her sea of consciousness said, "Today is a good opportunity. Find a way to seize her spiritual root and cultivation."
Lin Qingran's eyes flickered slightly, and she asked urgently, "What about Su Qingliu and the others?"
She didn't want to miss any opportunity to increase her favorability with any of the beauties in the character encyclopedia.
"Never mind them for now! I have a feeling that once Jiang Xianwan is dead, everything will go back to normal!"
The system that had cared for her like a wet nurse for several years suddenly felt a surge of regret and irritability.
It couldn't understand how, in a moment of madness, it had ended up with such a hesitant and infatuated young girl!
All she ever does is ask me how to please a man!
Is she a madam in some brothel?
