Chapter 14 Chapter 14 A Look of Deep Love
"It seems that you are very satisfied with him. I feel relieved. I wish you all the best." Jin Nianyue smiled.
She and Xu Zhaoyi grew up together and were rarely apart for a long time. If Xu Zhaoyi had known Qin Sheng for a long time, there was no reason for her not to know, but... the claim that they met through online chatting seemed possible, but it just didn't sound very reliable.
Moreover, the term "online love", which is full of romantic feelings of young boys and girls, is so incompatible with Xu Zhaoyi, who has always been more rational than emotional.
But now seeing Xu Zhaoyi looking like he was deeply in love, she didn't say anything to dampen his spirits. Whether it was reliable or not, who could say for sure if they hadn't tried it? The chances of regretting it if they tried it were 50-50, but the chances of regretting it if they didn't try were 100%.
Therefore, matters of the heart can only be decided by the parties involved, and what friends can do is to help the other party when he or she regrets it.
"It's a pity that I can't attend your engagement party." With her identity, whenever she showed up, it was like she was looking for trouble and ruining the party.
"...Yeah." Xu Zhaoyi almost blurted out "It's a pity", and after a pause, he said: "Qin Sheng will talk to my uncle and aunt, and they will not force you to get married in the short term."
Jin Nianyue frowned slightly when she heard this. Her father was a profit-driven person, and it was impossible for him to give in without giving in some benefits. She had already confirmed that Xu Zhaoyi was fine and would not be submissive like before. There was no need for Xu Zhaoyi to owe Qin Sheng anything for her.
"Actually, I've been planning to move out..."
"Don't even mention that you're alone and might not be able to move out. Even if you managed to move out, it would be in vain. You can't escape your father's control. You might as well take this opportunity to grow up as quickly as possible. Once you're stronger than him, he'll behave himself."
Although we are now living in a modern society ruled by law, unlike in the past when patriarchy overwhelmed individual will, ordinary people actually cannot and will not care about the trivial family disputes in the spiritual practice circle. For so many years, everyone has tacitly accepted that everyone should keep out of each other's way.
All I can say is that if nothing happens, it's fine. But if a fight really breaks out, it will definitely be a earth-shattering event, like one party developing an ineradicable fear of the other party's existence and going to fight to the death.
Of course, as the spiritual energy of heaven and earth becomes increasingly thinner and the cultivation circle is declining, if the authorities use heavy weapons at all costs, they will undoubtedly lose, and the most that can escape are a few foundation-building ancestors from each family.
Upon hearing this, Jin Nianyue realized she had been overthinking it. After a moment's hesitation, she said, "Alright, I'll accept this favor. Please tell Mr. Qin that I'll slowly repay him for what he's done for me when I'm able. If he needs me to do anything in the future, I won't refuse."
This was to show Qin Sheng that she would bear the consequences herself and would not take advantage of him through Xu Zhaoyi's relationship. If Xu Zhaoyi and Qin Sheng were really in a normal relationship, Jin Nianyue's actions could be considered well-intentioned.
As for asking Xu Zhaoyi to convey the message instead of her saying it herself, it was to avoid suspicion regarding the previous marriage proposal she almost had with Qin Sheng.
"I will."
In order to reassure her, Xu Zhaoyi simply agreed. He believed that too much talk would lead to mistakes, as long as the goal was achieved, it would be fine.
"Meow~"
Noodles listened to the whole thing, looked at Jin Nianyue with a pair of cat-like eyes shining with admiration, and meowed in a pinched voice.
God knows what kind of 'hard times' it has been through with its host over the past year. The woman it has come into contact with the most is the host's double-standard and exquisitely selfish mother.
It is obvious that the reason why Qin Kangnian and Wu Yunlian were able to stand out among the several branches of the Qin family and become the head and mistress of the family was not because of their abilities or talents, but because Qin Sheng became their son in this life, and the status of head of the family and the allocation of resources were compensated to them according to the Qin family rules.
They are all a bunch of evil people who exploit people to death, but Wu Yunlian is particularly disgusting. He has benefited from all the benefits, but he takes advantage of the fact that the victims "don't know the truth" and pretends to be always wronged.
Noodles has almost forgotten what a woman with normal values looks like.
"Meow~" Now it allows this upright woman to stroke its dog...bah, it's a cat's head.
Jin Nianyue was indeed attracted by it, but knowing that it was Qin Sheng's pet, she tactfully chose to watch from a distance and did not even reach out to touch it.
The noodles are so delicious.
Xu Zhaoyi lowered his head and smiled. When he returned with Jin Nianyue, he saw Qin Sheng sitting alone in the living room drinking tea. Jin's father and mother, who should have been respectfully entertaining guests, were not there.
"Where are they?" Xu Zhaoyi asked casually.
Qin Sheng couldn't bring himself to tell his daughter that he disliked her parents' constant politeness, so he raised his eyebrows and started to talk nonsense: "Well, I saw that the weather was nice today, so I asked them if they wanted to go out for a walk, and they happily agreed."
Jin Nianyue: “……???”
Xu Zhaoyi could even imagine how those two people looked when they were happily invited out of their home.
Jin Nianyue didn't expect that the real Qin Sheng would have this kind of personality when he took off his politeness. He could be described as mildly arrogant, and his polite appearance was covered with his willful behavior.
Fortunately, although it should be considered as a bad act of bullying, when he did it, it did not have the disgusting feeling of those rich and powerful dandies who acted tyrannically.
Or maybe it was just that the other party didn't want to annoy Xu Zhaoyi, so he was intentionally restraining himself a little.
Her gaze fell on Xu Zhaoyi's face, and sure enough, she saw that he understood everything, and looked surprised but not completely surprised.
Since the purpose of this trip has been achieved, Xu Zhaoyi has no intention of staying any longer. After all, Jin Nianyue and Qin Sheng are not familiar with each other, and coupled with the previous incident, it is indeed uncomfortable for the three of them to sit together.
Without avoiding Qin Sheng, Xu Zhaoyi said a few words to Jin Nianyue before leaving and gave her new contact information.
At this time in his previous life, in order to avoid being hunted down, he disposed of all the electronic products and spiritual objects that could connect to him.
To be honest, those who were hunting him probably didn't know that Qin Sheng had picked him up and brought him home. When the engagement invitations were sent to the Xu family, those uncles who were waiting for confirmation of his death so that they could legitimately take possession of his parents' belongings would probably have trouble sleeping.
In the eyes of outsiders who have some understanding of the Qin family, although Qin Sheng is sickly, he is really favored. Perhaps it is because he is the only descendant of the family who cannot practice cultivation, and he is also the eldest son of the head of the family, Qin Kangnian, so the elders of the Qin family are particularly sympathetic to him.
If someone is more informed, they will know that even the old man of the Qin family who is half a step away from building the foundation treats him as his golden grandson. In front of this man, even the most talented genius in the family will be punished if he offends Qin Sheng, and his parents may even be scolded as well.
The Xu family had not yet fallen to the point of being almost excluded from the upper circle of cultivation like the Jin family, so naturally they had heard of this.
On the way back, Qin Sheng asked Xu Zhaoyi if there was any other place he wanted to go, and Xu Zhaoyi shook his head.
Now that Jin Nianyue's matter was handled properly, he felt relieved and was able to calm down and reorganize the information in his mind.
In his previous life, he was unaware of the inside story and approached Qin Sheng in order to investigate the cause of Nian Yue's death. However, at that time, his main suspect was Qin Sheng, which led to the direction of the investigation going astray. He never discovered that there was such a cruel secret behind Qin Sheng's favor.
After his vision broadened, he quickly realized that Nian Yue's death could not have been caused by Qin Sheng.
In the previous life, Nian Yue should have been the helper chosen by Qin Sheng, but because there was an extra Nian Mian by Qin Sheng's side in this life, and Nian Mian picked him up at that critical moment, Qin Sheng changed his mind before the engagement was confirmed and changed his partner to him.
Judging from the outcome of his previous life, Qin Sheng did make the most advantageous decision within the scope of his ability, and Nian Yue was indeed unable to cope with such a dangerous situation as the Qin family.
Most likely, Nian Yue died at the hands of someone in the Qin family while trying to help Qin Sheng, and Qin Sheng became the person he knew last time - trying to make the Qin family a target of public criticism at the cost of countless lives, and even worse, causing panic among ordinary people, and directly burying the entire cultivation circle.
He did find some relevant information at that time, but that made him more certain that Qin Sheng was related to Nian Yue's death. As a result, Qin Sheng realized that the indiscriminate attack by Qin Sheng after he turned evil was eliminated as an obstacle.
Thinking of this, Xu Zhaoyi rubbed his brows and sighed. He couldn't say that Qin Sheng's actions in his previous life were excusable. After all, if he guessed correctly, the other party's plan was to kill innocent people indiscriminately and use the lives of many people to break the deadlock.
But at that time, Qin Sheng really had no other choice, and even death was not a relief for him.
Xu Zhaoyi couldn't say for sure that if his soul was tortured like this over and over again for hundreds of years, and this fate would continue endlessly in the future, could he stay true to himself and be kinder than Qin Sheng?
I don’t know what happened to Qin Sheng after he died in his previous life. Did he go as planned and end up being irreversibly destroyed together with his friends, or did the whole world regress with the time of his rebirth?
"What are you thinking about?"
Qin Sheng saw that he was immersed in his own thoughts and looked sad, and thought that he had some difficulties again.
"Nothing, just thinking about how to help you."
"It's too early to think about this. At this stage, you just need to accept my help and keep a low profile while accumulating strength."
"I understand." Xu Zhaoyi felt even more complicated after hearing this. He couldn't help but imagine how the considerate and gentle Qin Sheng had died in such a desperate environment in his previous life.
He touched the star stone necklace around his neck.
When he first got this treasure, he only valued its defensive power. Now that he thinks about it, its additional ability to conceal his cultivation level is clearly what he urgently needs at this moment.
Perhaps it was God's will that he should help Qin Sheng. Thinking of this, his eyes gradually became firm and he was no longer hesitant.
Don’t think about the things in your past life anymore. You can always start over again. Now is not the time to go to the end of your rope.
At the rate things are going on now, he will sooner or later face the person who actually killed Nian Yue in the Qin family, and then he will avenge Nian Yue who died in her previous life.
As for his own revenge, he would first put it on the Qin family. After all, they were indeed the source of evil, and it was not unfair.
