Chapter 15
“Qian’er, why are you here?”
Qin Wanyuan closed the system interface and looked at Qin Qian’er in surprise.
Usually, due to the conflict between her and Lin Que, Qin Qian’er rarely came to their room voluntarily. Today was an exception.
“Sister… I have something to ask you.”
Qin Qian’er grabbed the hem of her skirt, nervously asking, “Is what you said yesterday true?”
After hearing what Qin Wanyuan said yesterday, Qin Qian’er had been distracted all day, unable to sleep thinking about it.
Qin Wanyuan smiled, got out of bed, and gently patted her sister’s head:
“Of course it’s true. If Lin Lang and I weren’t genuinely in love, how could we be so affectionate? What you heard before was just an interesting misunderstanding.”
“Is that so…” Qin Qian’er’s eyes lowered, then she raised her head, “I understand.”
After saying this seemingly unrelated sentence, she turned and left.
Qin Wanyuan became curious and immediately concealed her presence, quietly following her sister.
“Let me see what’s going on.”
Qin Qian’er left the courtyard, her steps hurried, her eyes scanning around as if searching for something, finally stopping in front of the kitchen door.
Following her gaze, Qin Wanyuan also saw Lin Que busy in the kitchen.
Although his cultivation had long since allowed him to forego food, Lin Que often personally cooked delicious dishes, which was quite different from the him in her dreams.
The young Lin Que could be said to only care about not starving. He had no requirements for food, surviving on water and military rations every day, as Qin Wanyuan had seen with her own eyes.
This made her even more curious about what had happened to Lin Que during the years she hadn’t been able to see him.
On the other side, Lin Que naturally noticed Qin Qian’er standing at the door, and also noticed Qin Wanyuan hiding behind her, but he didn’t take the initiative to greet them, continuing to focus on his work.
In the end, it was Qin Qian’er who broke the silence first.
“Um… is there anything I can help with?” Qin Qian’er’s voice was very small, but Lin Que’s keen hearing caught it clearly.
He paused, without turning around or answering.
The atmosphere briefly fell into silence.
Qin Qian’er pinched the corner of her clothes, her lips pursed, and her steps showed a faint tendency to retreat.
Seeing that the situation was not right, Qin Wanyuan transmitted her voice to Lin Que, explaining the situation.
‘Lin Lang, the thing is actually like this…’
After hearing Qin Wanyuan’s explanation and learning the reason for Qin Qian’er’s aversion to him, Lin Que couldn’t help but chuckle, feeling a bit helpless.
‘I didn’t expect our conversation back then to be overheard by her, it’s no wonder she misunderstood.’
Regarding the threat to Qin Wanyuan in the courtyard late at night, it wasn’t entirely Lin Que’s idea, but rather a suggestion from the little devil.
At that time, Qin Wanyuan had just entered the inner sect, her foundation was unstable and she had no background. The elders wanted to make her their confidant and would definitely use her sister as leverage to control her. Treating the illness was only a temporary solution, it couldn’t cure Qin Qian’er completely.
As for those sect disciples, it was even more so. Their so-called treatment was just empty talk. Once Qin Wanyuan succumbed and became their plaything, who would care about Qin Qian’er’s life or death?
Lin Que couldn’t bear to see such a tragedy happen, so he acted before them, wanting to save the sisters from their unfortunate fate.
After all, he still took the heroes of justice as his role models, especially when it came to saving beautiful girls, he was quite enthusiastic.
Unfortunately, Qin Wanyuan didn’t believe him, directly treating Lin Que as no different from those playboys, no matter how he explained.
At this time, the little devil gave an idea.
“Since she thinks you’re a villain, why not just be a villain, take her body, cure her sister, this is her bottom line anyway.”
Lin Que naturally wouldn’t do as the little devil said, but he thought her suggestion had some merit, which led to the subsequent threat to make Qin Wanyuan obey and the later moon viewing.
It must be said, in doing bad things, the little devil was indeed very skilled.
Here, we can explain the little devil’s behavior logic.
To make a simple analogy, before doing something, there is a balance in a person’s heart, with an angel on one side and a devil on the other, weighing the pros and cons of good and evil.
Sometimes the angel prevails, sometimes the devil does.
But the little devil is different.
Before a person makes a judgment, she would pull out a knife and stab the angel on the other side of the balance to death, then unilaterally output her evil ideas, trying to brainwash the host.
Lin Que often suspected that the little devil was deliberately leading him towards being a villain, just like those demons in stories from his past life that led people astray.
Peeking at the senior sister bathing, stealing the master’s shoes and socks, or threatening the newly admitted junior sister, were all her intentional inducements.
However, Lin Que did do one of these things, which was to threaten the newly admitted junior sister, who was Qin Wanyuan at that time.
The little devil wanted to lure him into depravity, but Lin Que also had ways to deal with her and even benefit from it.
For example, threatening Qin Wanyuan was a task issued by the little devil, and it came with a reward, but she did not specify what to do after the threat.
The main idea was to let Lin Que follow his true desires.
So after benefiting from the little devil, Lin Que really just drank tea and admired the moon with Qin Wanyuan.
This incident made the little devil so angry that she didn’t talk to him for several days.
From noble mtl dot com
In short, this is the little devil, a unique system.
After recalling the cause and effect, and considering Qin Qian’er’s somewhat awkward attitude now, Lin Que also understood that she wanted to improve their relationship but didn’t know how to start.
So, Lin Que turned around and called Qin Qian’er over.
“In that case, you can help me wash the vegetables and assist me.”
“Okay.”
Qin Qian’er didn’t hesitate, rolled up her sleeves, and came to Lin Que’s side to start washing vegetables.
“Do you need me to teach you?”
“No need, when I used to wander with my sister, I often helped her.” Qin Qian’er said lightly.
“I see.”
The two chatted intermittently, looking like strangers who were forced to find topics to talk about.
But this was much better than before.
After preparing breakfast, the three gathered at the table to eat. There were not many words during the meal, but the atmosphere was much better than the previous tense one.
Qin Qian’er’s prejudice and dislike for Lin Que had lasted for a long time, making it difficult for her to change her attitude all at once, but her willingness to take the first step was a good thing.
As for Lin Que…
Qin Wanyuan quietly opened the system interface and checked Lin Que’s favorability towards Qin Qian’er. Although it hadn’t increased much, there was at least a warming trend.
Seeing this, she smiled with relief.
After all, a harmonious family leads to prosperity.
After the meal, Qin Wanyuan couldn’t wait to go back to her room to change into her training clothes, then dragged Lin Que out to practice swordsmanship.
After eating and drinking, it’s time to practice swordsmanship with the senior sister!
