Chapter 233 Not worthy
Snow Lake.
Thanks to a heavy snowfall the previous night, the entire lake seemed to have been meticulously crafted by nature into a dreamscape. The trees along the lakeside were blanketed in silver, their branches bent by the weight of the snow like jade branches. An occasional breeze blew, sending snowflakes drifting down like flowers scattered by fairies.
Lin Chuan took Jiang Wanying to the pavilion in the middle of the lake and sat down.
Inside the pavilion, several young Taoist couples were laughing and chatting happily. Their eyes strayed towards Lin Chuan and Jiang Wanying, and their expressions instantly became strange.
"Hurry up, it's Jiang Wanying!"
"Why is Jiang Wanying here instead of practicing?"
"Are you stupid? It must be a date. Didn't you see they even held hands?"
"This Lin Chuan is really a character."
After saying that, several pairs of young Taoist lovers hurriedly packed up, stood up and left quickly, leaving behind only a series of gradually fading footsteps, slowly dissipating on the tranquil snow-covered lake.
Lin Chuan was very curious about how much Jiang Wanying had extorted to cause her reputation to become so bad, but he didn't dare to ask now, because...
"Ah Chuan, don't you want to show me what token of love Junior Sister Ning Bing gave you?"
Jiang Wanying tilted her head and looked at Lin Chuan with a half-smile.
"What token of love? Senior sister, don't talk nonsense. This is just a thank you gift."
Lin Chuan waved his hands hurriedly, looking serious and a little anxious.
After saying that, he hurriedly took out the storage bag given by Huang Ningbing and opened it in front of Jiang Wanying.
The bag was filled with spiritual light, and the first thing that caught the eye was an ancient jade box, which was engraved with mysterious runes and had faint fluctuations of spiritual power.
Lin Chuan took out the jade box and opened it. Inside lay a small magic sword. A light blue light flowed on the sword body, and the hilt was inlaid with a crystal gem. There seemed to be clouds and mist swirling inside the gem.
"This is the Flowing Cloud Sword. It can induce air currents during combat and confuse the opponent."
"It's pretty, but not good enough for you."
Jiang Wanying shook her head slightly, and her slender fingers gently stroked the sword, and the light blue light danced at her fingertips.
"There's really nothing going on between Huang Ningbing and me, so don't think too much about it, Senior Sister." Lin Chuan held Jiang Wanying's hand tightly with a sincere look on his face.
"If there was anything, she would have died long ago."
Jiang Wanying raised her eyebrows slightly. Although her words were soft, they seemed to be wrapped in a thousand-year-old ice, revealing an unquestionable ruthlessness.
However, that fierce look disappeared in an instant, and she buried her head in Lin Chuan's arms with a smile, and said softly:
"If Ah Chuan likes this little flying sword, I will make it for him myself."
"Then can we use Immortal Meteorite Iron to forge a flying sword?"
Lin Chuan asked with anticipation in his eyes as he gently stroked Jiang Wanying's hair.
"???"
"Did the master say anything to you?"
Jiang Wanying tilted her head and stared at Lin Chuan sharply, as if trying to find some clues from his face.
"No...no." Lin Chuan's eyes dodged and he denied it flatly.
"Then how do you know I have Immortal Meteorite?"
Jiang Wanying stared at Lin Chuan with burning eyes, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, as if she was smiling.
"..."
"Immortal Meteorite Iron is extremely precious. Master and I both agree that Senior Sister should put this material to good use."
Lin Chuan looked serious, his eyes full of sincerity.
"But keeping you locked up by my side is also a serious matter."
As Jiang Wanying spoke, she gently put her arms around Lin Chuan's neck, her eyes full of attachment and affection. She tilted her head slightly, staring into Lin Chuan's eyes like water, with a gentle smile on her lips.
"Can……"
Before Lin Chuan finished speaking, Jiang Wanying moved her head closer, and her warm breath gently blew on Lin Chuan's face, carrying a faint fragrance.
After a long time, the two separated.
"I've only been apart from Ah Chuan for a while, and he's already showing off." Jiang Wanying pouted slightly, feigning anger, but a hint of unconcealable worry lingered in her eyes. "That piece of Immortal Meteorite Iron is my last resort. If I can't keep Ah Chuan in the future, he'll have too many people around him, and there won't be a place for me in his heart. I must win both his heart and his person."
She spoke half-jokingly and half-seriously, holding Lin Chuan's sleeves tightly with both hands, as if she was afraid that he would suddenly disappear.
"..."
Lin Chuan suddenly felt that Jiang Wanying’s idea was not that scary.
"I, Lin Chuan, swear to the Heavens that if I lose my Senior Sister in my heart in the future, Heaven and Earth will punish me."
Lin Chuan looked solemn, his eyes fixed on the sky, as if he wanted the heavens to witness his oath.
"Achuan, what are you doing?"
Jiang Wanying suddenly reached out and covered Lin Chuan's mouth, her eyes full of anger and panic.
"Don't worry, Senior Sister, you will always be my Taoist partner."
Lin Chuan held Jiang Wanying's hand tightly, his eyes burning, as if he wanted to imprint this oath in her heart.
"..."
"What if I die? Will there still be a place for me in your heart?" Jiang Wanying looked up at Lin Chuan.
"Then I will break through the cycle of reincarnation and come back to find you."
Lin Chuan's voice was deep and firm, echoing in Jiang Wanying's ears like a huge bell. He held Jiang Wanying's face in his hands, his eyes burning.
"Achuan..." Jiang Wanying gently stroked his face with both hands, "Me too, even if that day really comes, no matter where I am in reincarnation, I will wait for you, wait for you to come find me.
"Ahem, well, aren't we here to see the scenery? Why are you saying so many sad things?" Lin Chuan smiled a little embarrassedly and gently stroked Jiang Wanying's hair.
"It's all Ah Chuan's fault, he's suddenly so serious..."
Jiang Wanying's cheeks flushed, and she gently hit Lin Chuan's chest, her tone full of coquettishness.
"Okay, okay, blame me, but..." Lin Chuan changed the subject, "Sister, do you feel your hands are a little cold here?"
"Ah?" Jiang Wanying was confused at first, but then she saw Lin Chuan's gaze and understood.
"Pervert." Jiang Wanying spat inwardly, then put Lin Chuan's hand close to her heart.
"Sister, do you have a dream?" Lin Chuan suddenly asked casually.
"What dream?" Jiang Wanying tilted her head slightly, a hint of curiosity flashing in her eyes.
"It means becoming a person who is as broad-minded and tolerant as my master." Lin Chuan looked into the distance with a serious look.
"Ah?" Jiang Wanying was still a little stunned.
"Master told me..."
"Really...really?"
"How about giving it a try?"
"Let's talk about it when we get back."
……
Xuanwu Holy Land.
In the room, Zhao Gang sat cross-legged steadily on the bed, his brows slightly furrowed, and the spiritual power around him slowly flowed like a trickle.
Not far away, a feminine-looking man stood quietly, looking at Zhao Gang with burning eyes.
"No, how can you leave?"
Zhao Gang suddenly opened his eyes and stared at the feminine-looking man, his brows tightly knitted together, with a look of helplessness and annoyance on his face.
"Are you tired, sir? I made some duck soup for you, would you like to try it?"
The feminine man didn't care about Zhao Gang's dislike for him. As he spoke, he picked up a bowl of steaming duck soup from the table beside him and walked towards Zhao Gang lightly.
"..."
"I'll fight you!"
