Chapter 170 Disgusting
Luoguan City, Laifu Inn.
The night was as dark as ink, quietly enveloping the earth. The three of them had been traveling all the way, and seeing that it was getting late, they decided to stay here and set off again tomorrow to return to the Qingluan Holy Land.
Fortunately, there were still many guest rooms left in the inn, so everyone was successfully assigned their own room.
inside the room.
Lin Chuan sat cross-legged on the bed, eyes closed, breathing slowly. He was on the verge of a breakthrough to the Golden Core stage at any moment, but recalling Ran's words, he resolutely decided to suppress the urge to break through for the time being and focus on refining his skills, further strengthening his foundation.
"Master! Master!"
At this moment, the little earth spirit's anxious voice suddenly rang in Lin Chuan's mind.
This was the third time the little earth spirit had contacted him. Unfortunately, Lin Chuan was in the middle of a fierce battle the first two times and had no time to respond.
"What happened?" Lin Chuan frowned slightly, a look of worry appearing on his face.
"It's like this, Master. Sister Qingshu said she was bored staying in there and wanted to come out." Little Earth Spirit explained slowly.
……
In Jiang Wanying's room.
The soft candlelight swayed gently, painting the entire room with a light warm yellow.
Jiang Wanying sat quietly in front of the mirror, her delicate face looking even more beautiful in the candlelight.
She leaned forward slightly, her eyes focused and serious, her slender fingers holding the eyebrow pencil, carefully tracing the shape of her eyebrows along the ends of her eyebrows, stroke by stroke, her movements gentle and skillful.
"Finally finished the painting."
Jiang Wanying put down the powder in her hand, patted her cheeks gently, looked left and right in the mirror, and a satisfied smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
"Hehe, I'll charm you to death tonight."
She blinked playfully, with a hint of cunning and expectation in her eyes. She stood up and turned around gently, her skirt fluttering. Her graceful figure became even more charming under the candlelight.
Just as Jiang Wanying happily opened the door and couldn't wait to step out, planning to sneak into Lin Chuan's room, she met Xu Hanyi who was about to knock on the door.
Jiang Wanying's joy froze on her face in an instant, and her steps paused awkwardly. She just stood at the door, feeling a little at a loss for what to do.
"Master...Master, why are you here?"
Jiang Wanying asked with a hint of nervousness in her voice, and she was worried in her heart.
"Master came to see you and talk about something."
"But you, why don't you get a good rest so late at night and go out?" Xu Hanyi frowned slightly, with a scrutinizing look in his eyes.
"I...I just feel a little stuffy in the room and want to come out for some fresh air."
Jiang Wanying's heart skipped a beat and cold sweat broke out on her palms, but she still tried to force a smile on her face and replied stutteringly.
"Are you going to see Chuan'er?"
Xu Hanyi looked straight at Jiang Wanying. Although his words were soft, they hit Jiang Wanying's heart like a heavy hammer.
"Master, I..."
Jiang Wanying's pretty face flushed bright red, revealing her shyness. Her fingers twirled the corners of her clothes nervously, her eyes darting around the floor in panic, not daring to look up at Xu Hanyi.
"Let's talk inside." Xu Hanyi sighed slightly, and then he took the lead and stepped into Jiang Wanying's room.
Jiang Wanying bit her lip, feeling nervous, and followed him slowly into the house.
"Do you like Chuan'er?" Xu Hanyi slowly sat down beside the bed, his eyes fixed on Jiang Wanying, with complex emotions in his eyes.
"Ah."
Jiang Wanying also came to the bedside and sat down next to Xu Hanyi. She nodded vigorously, as if she wanted to convey all her feelings through this movement. Her cheeks were still flushed, but her eyes were full of determination, no longer as evasive and shy as before.
"..."
The two of them were silent for a long time, the air seemed to freeze, so quiet that only the sound of each other's slightly rapid breathing could be heard. Finally, Xu Hanyi sighed deeply, that sigh full of helplessness and struggle, and seemed to have made up her mind. She slowly raised her head, her expression showing a hint of decisiveness.
"I like Chuan'er, too."
Xu Hanyi uttered these words softly. Although her voice was light, it seemed to carry a great weight. Each word was filled with the sincere emotions that she had hidden deep in her heart for a long time.
"Um... ah?"
Jiang Wanying responded subconsciously at first, then her eyes widened, her face full of disbelief.
"Besides, Chuan'er and I are already Taoist companions."
Xu Hanyi raised his chin slightly, his eyes revealing a complexity, determination, and calmness.
"But...you...I..."
Jiang Wanying's eyes were red, tears welled up in them, and her voice became choked. She opened her mouth, but felt like her throat was choked by something, and she couldn't utter a complete sentence for a long time.
"Aren't you master and disciple? How come..."
She tried hard to hold back her tears, her words were full of grievance and confusion, and her eyes were filled with incredible sadness.
She just couldn't understand how such a relationship could exist between her respected master and Lin Chuan. The beautiful thing she had been looking forward to with all her heart was now like a bubble, being ruthlessly punctured, leaving her heart full of pain. She felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar and was shivering with cold.
"Ying'er, I..."
Xu Hanyi looked at Jiang Wanying's heartbroken expression, and her heart ached, with guilt all over her face.
"I hate you!"
Jiang Wanying cried out in a sobbing voice, her voice full of anger and grievance, tears welled up in her eyes and flowed freely down her cheeks.
After saying that, she turned around and ran towards Lin Chuan's room without hesitation. She wanted to ask Lin Chuan for an explanation. If Lin Chuan chose Xu Hanyi, she would turn around and leave without hesitation, not disturbing this... newlywed couple.
"Ying'er!" Xu Hanyi shouted anxiously and quickly got up and chased after her.
In Lin Chuan's room.
The candlelight flickered, casting mottled shadows on the walls. A flash of black light appeared, and a woman suddenly appeared in the room.
She had a graceful figure, her black dress accentuating her snow-white skin. Her eyes were filled with a thousand kinds of charm, and a faint smile played on the corners of her mouth. With each gentle step, her accessories rustled softly, like delicate notes in the night breeze. She stood before Lin Chuan, graceful and elegant, gazing at him with a tender gaze.
"Qin Lang, long time no see, do you miss me?"
Qingshu opened her red lips slightly, and her voice was soft and gentle, as pleasant as the gurgling of water, and seemed to carry a hint of lingering longing.
"..."
"Naturally there is."
Lin Chuan was slightly stunned, a trace of embarrassment flashed across his face, and he seemed a little uneasy when speaking. He subconsciously took a small step back, his eyes averted, not daring to meet Qing Shu's fiery gaze.
