Why Are All the Fairies Trying To Make Me Fall

Chapter 1

Lin Que has been troubled by two things recently.

First, he noticed that his Dao companion, Qin Wanyuan, has been acting strangely lately, or rather, she hasn’t been herself for some time now.

One night last month, Qin Wanyuan woke up from a nightmare and cried in his arms for the entire night, as if she had just experienced a life-and-death separation.

Since then, she has been in seclusion, cultivating day and night, and only came out today to have dinner with the family at the same table.

Even now, Qin Wanyuan sits silently at the dining table, not touching her chopsticks.

The second trouble is… the sharp-tongued interrogation from his Dao companion’s younger sister, Qin Qian’er.

“Did you make any breakthroughs in your cultivation this year? Did your ranking in the sect competition improve? Did you find a good master?”

At the dinner table in the evening, Lin Que remained silent in the face of his sister-in-law’s three soul-searching questions.

“Why aren’t you speaking? Are you so ashamed that you can’t show your face?”

Seeing Lin Que not responding, a trace of contempt appeared on Qin Qian’er’s delicate face as she continued, “I suppose so. If I were you, living off my sister in her cave mansion without any progress in cultivation, I would want to find a hole to crawl into too~”

Listening to his sharp-tongued sister-in-law’s sarcastic remarks, Lin Que remained expressionless and had no intention of arguing with her because it was pointless.

He had known Qin Wanyuan for three years and had been Dao companions for over a year, during which they treated each other with respect. However, his relationship with her younger sister, Qin Qian’er, was quite the opposite, almost like fire and water.

This was evident from her earlier sarcastic remarks.

Three months ago, Qin Wanyuan was accepted as a personal disciple by the Sixth Elder and was given an independent cave mansion filled with spiritual energy. She then asked Lin Que to move in from his original courtyard, and Qin Qian’er did the same.

After all, more abundant spiritual energy meant better cultivation, and Qin Qian’er, who had just entered the inner sect, naturally needed a better cultivation environment.

By moving into her sister’s cave mansion, she could have her own room and wouldn’t have to share a dormitory with other ordinary inner sect disciples.

In fact, the spiritual energy concentration in Lin Que’s original courtyard was not much different from here, but it required spending spirit stones to rent, and Qin Wanyuan didn’t want Lin Que to waste extra spirit stones on renting the courtyard.

What truly moved Lin Que was when Qin Wanyuan pressed against his chest and softly said she wanted to have a little home of their own.

So he moved into Qin Wanyuan’s cave mansion and lived with the two sisters.

Lin Que had no clue why he didn’t get along with his sister-in-law. From their first formal meeting, Qin Qian’er had been very aggressive.

At first, Lin Que thought Qin Qian’er’s emotions were probably similar to feeling jealous that her sister was taken away by a stranger, so he tried to improve their relationship. After all, Qin Qian’er was his Dao companion’s sister and Qin Wanyuan’s only family in this world.

Unfortunately, Qin Qian’er never appreciated his efforts and even seemed to become more aggressive, leaving Lin Que puzzled.

Later, Lin Que stopped trying to please her but also didn’t argue with her.

He didn’t want to make things difficult for Qin Wanyuan, who was caught in the middle.

In fact, Qin Wanyuan noticed Lin Que’s tolerance towards her sister and had scolded or privately talked to Qin Qian’er many times, asking her to treat her brother-in-law better.

However, Qin Wanyuan was gentle by nature and couldn’t speak harshly to her family. Even when she was truly angry, she acted like she was pouting.

In the end, she ended up crying first.

Several times, Lin Que saw Qin Wanyuan secretly shedding tears in a corner because of her sister and himself.

So he decided to remain silent and not argue with his sister-in-law.

At this moment, Qin Qian’er, the sister-in-law, also quietly glanced at her elder sister. Seeing that her usually strict sister did not speak up, she assumed that her sister had tacitly approved of her behavior, and her cold sarcasm became even more intense.

If it were any other day, Qin Wanyuan would have surely scolded Qin Qian’er a few times, and the latter would have temporarily restrained herself, giving her sister some face.

But today, Qin Wanyuan remained silent, her eyes slightly unfocused, as if she was contemplating something.

Qin Qian’er thought that her sister’s silence was a hint for her, and she immediately pressed her advantage.

“In my opinion, you are not worthy of my sister at all. You should have some self-awareness and leave early…”

However,

Before she could finish her sentence, a crisp slap interrupted her.

Slap!

The entire courtyard fell silent in an instant. Qin Qian’er’s pupils contracted, her eyes filled with disbelief. In front of her, Qin Wanyuan still maintained the posture of slapping, standing there coldly.

Even Lin Que was stunned.

It was known that Qin Wanyuan was exceptionally doting on her only sister. She couldn’t bear to say harsh words, let alone hit her.

“How can you speak to him like that?” Qin Wanyuan’s demeanor seemed to change, becoming stern and solemn.

Qin Qian’er was completely stunned, staring blankly at her usually gentle sister, who now wore such a serious expression and had even slapped her.

If it weren’t for the stinging pain on her cheek reminding her that this was reality, Qin Qian’er would have thought she was dreaming, a terrifying nightmare.

“Apologize to him,” Qin Wanyuan said calmly.

“….”

Qin Qian’er did not respond, just pouted, lowered her head slightly, and clenched the hem of her clothes with her fingers, like a stubborn child who had done something wrong but refused to admit it.

Slap!

Another slap sounded.

“Apologize to him,” Qin Wanyuan’s tone was slightly heavier, and her hand was also heavier.

At this moment, Qin Qian’er’s pretty face was already a bit swollen.

Tears the size of beans swirled in her eyes, and soon, they fell like raindrops.

“…I’m sorry.”

After saying this, Qin Qian’er ran back to her room without looking back, slamming the door shut.

Immediately, the sound of a girl’s sobbing could be faintly heard from the room.

It was only then that Lin Que slowly came back to his senses. He looked at Qin Qian’er’s room, then at Qin Wanyuan beside him.

“Wanyuan, what’s wrong with you?” he stood up and asked worriedly.

After all, during this period, Qin Wanyuan’s behavior had indeed been somewhat abnormal. Today, she even hit her sister, whom she had always doted on and couldn’t bear to hit.

Hearing his voice, Qin Wanyuan also turned her head and looked at Lin Que. She put away the serious expression she had just now, replaced by full of guilt and a hint of complex emotions that Lin Que couldn’t understand.

“No matter what, Qian’er shouldn’t have spoken to you like that. It’s my fault for spoiling her too much before… If I had educated her like this earlier, she wouldn’t have turned out like this. I’m sorry,” Qin Wanyuan apologized softly to Lin Que.

“It’s nothing,” Lin Que shook his head.

However, opposite him, Qin Wanyuan still had a look of wanting to say something but hesitating.

“What’s wrong?” Lin Que looked at his partner with some confusion, feeling that her changes during this period were indeed too great.

“I… have something I want to tell you.” Qin Wanyuan clenched the hem of her clothes tightly, as if she had made up her mind.

Lin Que nodded.

The next second, Qin Wanyuan threw herself into his arms, pressing tightly against his chest, as if seriously feeling his heartbeat, seeking some kind of security.

The moonlight was picturesque, and the woman in his arms trembled slightly, seemingly sobbing.

After a long time,

Qin Wanyuan raised her eyes, her beautiful face with slightly red corners of her eyes, faintly visible tears glistening, but her gaze was extremely firm.

“Lin Lang, let’s run away, leave the sect, go to a place where no one can find us. This is the only way I can think of…”
