Chapter 178
Of course Nan Yan knew that Lin Qingshuang was acting, wasn't she acting too? Since this Senior Sister Lin wanted her to misunderstand, of course she had to cooperate. She wasn't some kind of considerate little sister, so when she was in a bad mood, she would naturally find someone to vent.
Jing Wuyan himself would lose control of his emotions when facing his love rival. Even a person like him would be unable to control himself, let alone her who is just a little girl with little practice.
She was cheated so blatantly, even though she had insisted on jumping into the trap, even if she was fooled, she would only vent her anger on others.
Who made him run into the muzzle of her gun? He should not waste such a good opportunity.
Lin Qingshuang beside him finally had a chance to speak, but what she said only "stimulated" her junior sister even more. "Junior sister Su, you were too impulsive today. I just wanted to spar with you, not to hurt you as you think. If I really wanted to kill you, why would I keep giving in to you? And why would I let you hurt me in the end?"
"Besides, this is a matter between us. Why should we drag others into our affairs? You and Jing Wuyan are close, and so are I. Why do you have to be so aggressive and make everyone angry?"
The calmer and more rational Lin Qingshuang's voice became, the more it seemed that her junior sister was being unreasonable and making trouble.
Sure enough, Nan Yan became even angry after hearing this. Her chest was heaving with anger, and tears kept welling up in her eyes. She bit her lip to hold back her tears, then raised her eyes and stared at Jing Wuyan in front of her and asked, "Close? What kind of close relationship can there be between the two of you? How close can you be to her?"
Lin Qingshuang beside him turned pale. After hearing this, he frowned again, covered his chest, and said helplessly to the little junior sister, "Junior sister Su, it's not what you think. It's true that he protects me, but that's just..."
Before he could finish his words, Nan Yan decisively interrupted him. She turned her head, her eyes sparkling with tears, and it was obvious that she was really angry, "Shut up, did I talk to you?"
Lin Qingshuang's expression froze and her face turned cold.
Nan Yan's eyes were slightly red. After she finished scolding Lin Qingshuang, she turned around and stared at Jing Wuyan. She became more and more angry as she spoke, "Why don't you say anything? Are you feeling guilty? Jing Wuyan, what do you mean now? Are you trying to protect her in front of me?"
Jing Wuyan glanced coldly at Lin Qingshuang who was standing beside him. The coldness that flashed in his eyes made Lin Qingshuang's expression suddenly freeze, and the words he wanted to say were blocked in his throat.
She clenched her fingers, her heart obviously unwilling, but now she still had to rely on the resources obtained by Jing Wuyan to improve her cultivation, so she couldn't confront him so blatantly.
After hearing Nan Yan's words, Jing Wuyan frowned slightly, but then slowly relaxed. He now knew what Yan Yan was angry about. She thought that he rushed out to stop her attack to protect Lin Qingshuang and to go against her. This idea also gave him a headache for a while.
Although part of it was true, could it be that this silly girl really couldn't see at all that the person he was protecting from the beginning to the end was obviously her.
Do you really think that a cultivator in the middle stage of the Golden Core is so easy to kill? Lin Qingshuang was indeed hit by her palm for a moment, but it was just a fluke, and she only suffered minor injuries.
If the sword had really stabbed through, Lin Qingshuang would have fought back, and the Jindan cultivator would have tried his best to counterattack. Not only would she have been injured, but in the eyes of outsiders, she would have deserved her punishment and asked for her own death.
Because not only did she disregard the friendship between fellow disciples and acted ruthlessly towards this senior sister, but she also refused to give in even when the senior sister kept giving in. This situation was disadvantageous to her no matter what.
If he tried to stop her, Yanyan would misunderstand him. If he didn't try, he would see her get hurt, and then he would be in a dilemma. Thinking of this, Jing Wuyan's eyes turned a lot colder.
He didn't expect that the woman had grown some brains after her rebirth, but she didn't use this brain on cultivation, but instead used it to harm her own junior sister.
Jing Wuyan exhaled lightly, his eyes fell on the person below. When did he protect Lin Qingshuang? The person he was protecting was obviously her.
I don't know what has provoked this girl today. Normally when she bullies him, her mind works very fast and she can find opportunities to torment him in roundabout ways. Why does she become so impulsive and irritable when facing her senior sister?
Jing Wuyan lowered his head and looked at Nan Yan. After sorting out his thoughts, his emotions became more stable and his black eyes became calmer and more rational.
He reached out and stroked Nan Yan's face, trying to soothe her emotions with a calm tone, and said in a low voice, "I'm not protecting her. The person I'm protecting has always been you. Yanyan, don't be impulsive, okay? Think about it carefully, can you really kill her? You're so smart, you should be able to figure it out quickly, right? I won't lie to you."
"You can be angry with me, and you can lose your temper with me, but that is a matter between the two of us. It has nothing to do with other irrelevant people. I don't want others to interfere between us, and I don't want you to resent me because of it."
"Yan Yan, calm down first, okay? Don't get yourself into trouble because of impulse. My concern for Lin Qingshuang is limited to the transaction, not what you think. Can't you feel it? Who is the person I care about most in my heart?"
Jing Wuyan's tone was always neither too light nor too heavy, and he analyzed things very thoroughly. He really had the ability to soothe people's emotions.
Nan Yan bit her lip. After hearing this, tears flashed in her eyes. She was secretly upset in her heart. She had originally decided to throw a basin of dirty water on these two people. As long as this bastard showed the slightest difference in attitude, she would catch him and not let him go.
But this bastard's explanation was so reasonable, so reasonable that she couldn't find any dissatisfaction at all.
Moreover, this person's emotions are so stable. He doesn't feel angry at all even though she humiliated him like this. Instead, he has always been in such a stable state. If she continues to act so unreasonable, her image will probably collapse.
Nan Yan gritted her teeth secretly, thinking to herself, it seems that she can only look for another opportunity. She just doesn't believe that she won't be able to catch his little trick in the future.
So after listening to his explanation, Nan Yan's emotions finally calmed down. She pursed her lips, as if she knew that her behavior today was too impulsive. But the fight had already happened, what else could she do? It was impossible to turn back time and pretend that nothing had happened.
So Nan Yan stopped talking and just lowered her head, tears falling silently one by one. The knuckles that were originally pinched in her sleeves were pinched so tightly that they turned white. She looked like she was so sad and wronged that she couldn't control herself.
Jing Wuyan frowned and saw the man with his head down. He stroked and pinched her chin with his slender fingers and gently lifted her face up. She happened to meet a pair of eyes that were slightly red from crying. Her face was pale, but her lips were bloodshot and red from being bitten. She looked particularly pitiful and adorable.
Being looked at like this, Jing Wuyan no longer had any confused thoughts in his mind. He reached out and grabbed the person, gently stroking her cheek with his fingertips.
Feeling that Yanyan's body was a little stiff, and then she couldn't stop trembling after relaxing, Jing Wuyan also realized that something was wrong at this moment.
His brows furrowed even more tightly, and he directly put his arms around the waist of the person in his arms. Now he was too lazy to care about what Lin Qingshuang was thinking beside him, and took Yanyan back to his room.
In fact, he watched Lin Qingshuang provoke Yanyan today and watched the two of them fighting just to see how strong this girl was. After all, her cultivation had improved a lot in the past few days, and with him watching by her side, he would not let her be in danger.
But he didn't expect that Yanyan's mood today was a little unstable. She was overly stimulated and was so foolish that she was fooled by others. She even wanted to kill Lin Qingshuang by relying on her own ability. Not to mention whether it was possible, when did she become so impulsive?
Jing Wuyan pulled Nan Yan to sit on a chair nearby. Seeing that she was crying so hard that her tears were almost dried up, he did not ask her anything in a hurry. Instead, he poured her a cup of warm spiritual tea and handed it to her.
Nan Yan pursed her lips and took a few sips of the tea to calm her mind. The expression on her face seemed not so sad anymore.
Wait until you are sure that your sweetheart's emotions have finally calmed down.
Jing Wuyan then put down the cup, and then pulled the person next to him to sit directly on his lap, and then asked in a low voice, "What's wrong? What happened today? You are not in a good mood. Who bullied you, huh?"
When Jing Wuyan said this, his palm was still touching her head, stroking it gently, and his voice was soft and steady, which was an obvious protective gesture.
It would have been fine if he didn't ask. As soon as he asked, Nan Yan's expression immediately became more aggrieved. Perhaps the accumulated emotions in her heart had nowhere to vent. Nan Yan pursed her lips and pushed away his hand. There was a faint sob in her throat again, "Don't touch me! You are completely useless. You can only say these empty words. Can you really protect me? They are all bullying me, blatantly bullying me. What did you do?"
As she spoke, her eyes were filled with mist again. She bit her lip stubbornly, trying not to let the tears fall, but it was obvious that she could not control her emotions. "You used to deal with me without hesitation. You threatened me and bullied me as you wanted. But now, you don't even have the ability to help me fight back! Are you only going to be ruthless to me? Is it because I am powerless to resist and weak and can be bullied?"
After Nan Yan said this, she finally couldn't hold back her tears and fell, but Jing Wuyan's fingers stopped.
He lowered his head, and stared quietly at the person crying in his arms with his black eyes. Feeling the resentment in the girl's mood, he understood a little bit that this was a gesture of settling accounts with him. Jing Wuyan had a headache for a moment.
There was nothing he could do. It was also his own fault. He had indeed been a little too fierce to her in the past. He had not expected that this girl would hold such a grudge and still remember what happened in the past.
But the word "they" in her mouth still made Jing Wuyan frown slightly. He didn't know who else had made her unhappy today, until the person on his lap struggled so hard that the skin originally covered by the collar showed some obvious marks.
Jing Wuyan's expression changed instantly. He pressed Yanyan's shoulders to prevent her from struggling and moving. His fingers skillfully unbuttoned her shirt and he saw several bite wounds on her neck, extending from her neck to her chest.
A murderous intent flashed across Jing Wuyan's eyes, and his gaze finally turned cold. He was very restrained when he touched her last night. He was reluctant to kiss her a little harder, let alone break the skin. The person in his heart would be dissatisfied and angry. Those wounds were obviously bitten by other people. In this sect, at this time, who else would dare to do such a thing to her except her good senior brother.
Jing Wuyan's face suddenly became jealous. He really trusted the man too much. He thought that he would not do anything to hurt Yanyan after taking care of her for so long. However, people would indeed lose their minds when they were jealous.
He also seemed to understand why Yanyan became so impulsive today. It was obvious that she was frightened.
Thinking of this, Jing Wuyan changed his hand from pressing her shoulders to hugging her, and directly pressed her head into his chest, rubbing his chin against her forehead, and soothing her in a slow voice, "I'm sorry, it's my fault, I didn't protect you well, I won't let anyone bully you in the future, don't cry, okay? It was also my fault in the past, I was stupid and blind, otherwise you can bite me to vent your anger, okay, as long as you can vent your anger, you can bite me in any way you want."
Nan Yan stretched her fingers out from her sleeves and tightly grasped the front of his shirt. Her tears fell on his neck. She choked with sobs, angry and annoyed, "Who wants to bite you to vent their anger? Do you think I'm a dog? Do I like biting people like you? And what if you break my teeth because you're so thick-skinned?"
Although it was true, Nan Yan still couldn't hide her anger. She couldn't help but bite his neck, choking twice. Jing Wuyan found it a little funny. He touched her head and coaxed, "Bite harder, it doesn't matter if you bite harder..."
Nan Yan was furious when she heard this. The more she bit, the more resentful she felt. She made another "Puh" sound and spat it out.
Then she raised her head, her eyes washed by tears were exceptionally clean, her pupils were dark, and she stared at him with a serious look, "Let me ask you, if Senior Sister Lin really wanted to kill me, would you help me kill her first?"
Jing Wuyan frowned slightly, lowered his head to meet her gaze, was silent for a moment, and then calmly replied, "Yanyan, this is just a deal between her and me. I need her to help me remove the seal. There is no other relationship. You don't have to test me like this, Yanyan, she won't kill you, and I won't give her the chance to kill you. Don't be afraid, trust me, okay?"
You'd be crazy if she believed you. How could she ignore the obvious murderous intent? Even if Lin Qingshuang didn't attack her today, she would definitely give her a fatal blow when she found an opportunity in the future. After all, the other party already regarded her as a demon. If she didn't get rid of the demon, how could she break through and ascend to heaven in the future?
Nan Yan was unwilling to give up. She showed reluctance on her face and a hint of stubbornness in her tone. She had to get an answer from him. "I believe you, but you have to tell me, if one day we meet, will you help me kill her without hesitation?"
She asked this question deliberately to put him in a dilemma. The conflict between her and Lin Qingshuang could no longer be eased, and that day would come sooner or later.
In fact, if you think about it carefully, Jing Wuyan spent all his efforts to help Lin Qingshuang return to the human world, with the purpose of letting her ascend to the upper realm to help him lift the seal. Naturally, it is impossible for him to kill her easily.
Otherwise, wouldn't everything he did be in vain? But if he refused, then she would naturally have a reason to hold on to this point, after all, Lin Qingshuang's murderous intention towards her was not fake.
Hearing this, Jing Wuyan's brows wrinkled even more tightly. This problem was indeed a bit difficult for him. He couldn't kill Lin Qingshuang at will for the time being. He even had to rely on her spiritual power to nourish the Qiankun Bracelet. After all, in this world of cultivation, there were very few mutated ice spiritual roots like hers. He couldn't wait that long.
Jing Wuyan's eyes were dark and fixed on the person in his arms. After taking a deep breath, his brows slowly relaxed and he said seriously, "That day will never come. I won't let her have the chance to hurt you. Yanyan, do you believe me?"
Nan Yan deliberately remained silent.
Obviously, he was dissatisfied with this answer.
The atmosphere between the two froze again.
Jing Wuyan also noticed her low mood and pursed his thin lips tightly. Perhaps because he knew that his answer was a little inappropriate, he felt a little depressed and slightly irritated for a moment.
Jing Wu stretched out his fingers and pinched her palm. Just as he was about to speak, he heard her ask,
"What if I must kill her? Jing Wuyan, will you stop me? Or will you choose to attack me?"
Nan Yan was very calm when she said this. She raised her eyes and stared at him, with a serious look in her eyes.
Jing Wuyan paused in his movements and remained silent for a while. He spoke softly, "Yanyan, it's hard for you to kill her. Her current cultivation level is higher than yours, and her cultivation speed is also faster than yours. If you fight her, you will only suffer. Don't do something that will hurt yourself, okay?"
Nan Yan's eyes were slightly red, and she was obviously unwilling to give up. She stared at the person in front of her and continued to threaten, "I can always find an opportunity. I can drug her, sneak attack her, and use all kinds of means. She can fool me, so I can naturally fight back against her..."
"Yan Yan!" Jing Wuyan's voice became heavier. He pinched her chin and looked into her eyes. His expression became more serious. "Don't use these shady methods. Don't do things that you will regret in the future. You will be the only one who suffers."
After scolding her, he knew that she was just saying that out of anger. After all, this girl had never killed a monster before, so how could she really kill her fellow disciples without blinking an eye as she said?
However, cultivators will have to question their conscience when they ascend. If they have a clear conscience, it will be fine. But if they feel guilty, they will never be able to ascend in this lifetime and will be reduced to ashes in the thunder tribulation.
Jing Wuyan patted her back again and lowered his voice to soothe her. "Okay, Yanyan, let's not talk about this topic anymore, okay? You were frightened today, so you have all kinds of thoughts. Can you rest here with me for a while? I'll stay with you."
Hearing this, Nan Yan stretched out her hand and pushed him away, suppressing the emotions in her chest, and restraining the emotions that were originally exposed. She spoke in a low voice,
"I'm not going to rest here with you. I'm going to go back. Please let me be alone for a while."
After saying this, Nan Yan turned around and walked out.
Jing Wuyan's expression changed slightly, and he subconsciously reached out to hold her wrist, but she intentionally avoided it. He knew that she really cared about him this time.
This reaction made Jing Wuyan's eyes darken. Looking at the girl's back as she left without stopping, he felt a sense of powerlessness and irritation in his heart.
He hadn't felt this way for a long time, as if things were out of control and he was in some kind of dilemma.
Lin Qingshuang's deliberate provocation and Yanyan's refusal to give up, both sides are unwilling to give in. If these two people really confront each other, how can he solve this problem?
He only has a hundred years left. After a hundred years, the spiritual power of this body will gradually dry up, and he will fall into a deep sleep again. It is unknown when he will wake up next time. If he cannot help Lin Qingshuang ascend to the upper realm during this period of time, who knows when the seal of Qingyou Divine Realm can be lifted?
But...what should we do with Yanyan?
Jing Wuyan thought about it and felt inexplicably heavy and blocked in his chest. If he really fell into a deep sleep or disappeared, that little girl would probably forget about him completely within a few months. How could he afford to wait?
Nan Yan didn't care how troubled and upset Jing Wuyan was. The only thing she cared about was that there had to be a decision between her and Lin Qingshuang.
And she was not the only one who thought so, even Lin Qingshuang thought so.
After all, Lin Qingshuang has a lot to rely on in this life and has taken the initiative. After the quarrel between her and her eldest senior brother, she lost her protection. If she quarrels with Jing Wuyan again, no one will be able to take care of her.
Therefore, if Lin Qingshuang really tried to kill her one day, she would only lose her life.
The relationship between Jing Wuyan and Lin Qingshuang cannot be explained in a few words. The two of them may complement each other. If they really have a dispute, Jing Wuyan may side with her, but he will never put Lin Qingshuang to death.
So when Lin Qingshuang provoked the conflict this time, she just took advantage of the situation. Now the situation between the two of them is like water and fire, and there must be a result. I just don't know who that bastard will choose to help in the end.
Here, Nan Yan had just walked out of the courtyard when she saw Senior Sister Lin who was waiting for her beside the bluestone floating mountain not far away.
She looked calm, with a slightly pale complexion. Perhaps he had expected her to come out of Jing Wuyan's courtyard, so he was not surprised to see her.
Nan Yan glanced at her face, not feeling the slightest bit of guilt, but the two of them had already completely fallen out, so there was no need to be polite anymore.
As soon as she walked over, Lin Qingshuang walked towards her calmly. There was no one around, so Lin Qingshuang stopped pretending and said coldly with a blank expression, "Junior sister, you are young, but you are really good at coaxing men. What, it's not enough to seduce senior brother, now you want to snatch the people around me?"
Every word in these words revealed a trace of contempt. In her opinion, this little junior sister simply had no self-respect and self-love. As a cultivator, she did not concentrate on her cultivation, but instead used her beauty to flirt with male cultivators to obtain various resources and benefits. How was she different from those ruthless female cultivators in the Hehuan Sect?
In the past, she had hooked up with Senior Brother Feng and refused to let go. Now that she has separated from Senior Brother Feng, she immediately turned to another man. Such an unbridled and wanton attitude shows that she has a despicable character.
It's not that she couldn't see it, but in just these few days, this little sister's cultivation has improved a lot. It is conceivable what happened between her and Jing Wuyan in these few days.
It's nothing more than not following the right path and abandoning those unorthodox practices of the Hehuan Sect. She doesn't care who Jing Wuyan likes, except Su Nanyan.
So, she came here on purpose to provoke her.
"But you may not know that the relationship between me and Jing Wuyan is much closer than you think."
Nan Yan didn't care about her scolding. This level of attack couldn't hurt her. But she was good at making people angry and could make them grit their teeth.
"So what? Are you jealous, Senior Sister? I coaxed them around and around, making them dizzy and obediently crawling at my feet like a puppy. Even my eldest senior brother, whom I worship as a god and whom I have always wanted, is like this..."
She doesn't steal or rob, and being able to coax people is a kind of ability, right? There is nothing shameful about it, so why should you look down on her?
Besides, didn't she often coax Jing Wuyan into giving her all kinds of spiritual plants and herbs? Why did it become an unclean position for her?
Nan Yan smiled and threatened, "If I persuade them to kill my sister, will you still talk to me like this?"
Lin Qingshuang's expression turned cold indeed. Anyone who heard such words would be unable to control the murderous intent in their heart.
The person she longed for but could not get was like an object to be discarded at will when he was next to her. How could she not hate him?
She stared at Nan Yan for a long while before she sneered, "You can try and see if Jing Wuyan will kill me for you? You may not know that the relationship between him and I is something you will never be able to achieve in your lifetime. Even if I wanted to kill you, didn't he still let me go today?"
Nan Yan's expression didn't change.
Lin Qingshuang added, "Do you really think he cares about you? If he really cares about you, why would he defend me in front of you? If you don't believe me, you can try again next time and see if the person you like is particularly worried and anxious when he defends me."
After saying this, Lin Qingshuang sneered, probably because she didn't want to hear any more irritating words coming out of that mouth. She lowered her head to glance at Nan Yan, then turned around and left.
Nan Yan was too lazy to pay attention to her. If she was really the junior sister in the original plot, she would probably be so angry that she would jump to her feet. But she didn't feel anything at the moment. Jing Wuyan didn't care who it had to do with her, as long as she could torture him.
