Chapter 33

Jiang Moqing’s favorability towards Lin Que increased to eighty-five, which is already the state of falling in love.

Some behaviors will also be inadvertently revealed.

As the saying goes, liking someone is hard to hide, and Jiang Moqing is just like that now.

At this moment, Lin Que was taking her pulse, his brows furrowed and his expression focused, while Jiang Moqing’s fingertips quietly hooked up, touching Lin Que’s hand in a seemingly accidental but actually full of details manner.

Especially her eyes, which were even more remarkable, under the guise of indifference, the desire was almost overflowing.

If it weren’t for Qin Wanyuan, the current Dao companion, being present, she would have suspected that this ice-cold senior sister would devour Lin Que on the spot.

‘I always feel that senior sister’s eyes are almost filled with hearts…’

The guilt in Qin Wanyuan’s heart for pushing Lin Que into the tiger’s mouth grew stronger, but in order for him to survive the calamity two years later, she had no choice but to do so.

The intertwining of these two emotions made Qin Wanyuan feel an indescribable bitterness.

At the same time, the words the system once said echoed in her mind.

[Does the host want Lin Que to survive, or do you want a corpse that only loves you?]

[Host, you don’t want your Dao companion to die in two years, do you?]

…..

In the end, Qin Wanyuan chose to remain silent, pretending not to see Jiang Moqing’s subtle touch on Lin Que.

Lin Que seemed to have encountered some problem and did not notice Jiang Moqing’s small movements.

After about half an hour, Lin Que withdrew his hand and looked at Jiang Moqing with a serious expression.

“Your cultivation method has a problem, the pulse is very chaotic, and there are at least two kinds of spiritual energy in your dantian conflicting with each other, this is definitely not formed in a day.”

“……”

Facing Lin Que’s inquiry, Jiang Moqing remained silent, her eyes somewhat evasive, like a child who had done something wrong.

Qin Wanyuan was stunned, she originally just wanted to find an excuse for Lin Que to contact Jiang Moqing, but she didn’t expect to actually find a problem.

After a while, Jiang Moqing slowly spoke.

“This is not a problem with the cultivation method, I know it in my heart.”

“Practicing multiple cultivation methods simultaneously may speed up your progress, but the upper limit won’t be high. It might even lead to inner demons due to conflicts between the methods. Do you really understand these risks?”

Given the life-threatening nature of the situation, Lin Que naturally couldn’t afford to consider past grudges. Instead, he spoke seriously and solemnly from the perspective of a healer.

“I’ll be fine,” Jiang Moqing’s tone remained very calm.

However, by observing the status bar, Qin Wanyuan could see that although Lin Que was sternly advising Jiang Moqing, her favorability towards him did not decrease but rather increased.

‘Is it because Lin Lang is concerned about her…’

Qin Wanyuan could understand Jiang Moqing’s change in favorability. After all, it was the concern of her long-lost beloved. Even though his tone was stern, the genuine concern behind it naturally brought warmth to her heart.

However, after Jiang Moqing emphasized twice, Lin Que did not continue to forcefully dissuade her. After all, they had been apart for a long time, and he couldn’t stand in the same position as before.

After a brief thought, he took out a bottle of pills and a box of ointment from his storage ring. “This bottle of pills can harmonize yin and yang. If your cultivation methods ever cause problems in the future, you can take it to temporarily alleviate the situation. The ointment is for treating external injuries.”

“….”

Jiang Moqing did not take Lin Que’s items but glanced at Qin Wanyuan, who smiled and nodded, “Senior sister, just accept it.”

Upon hearing this, Jiang Moqing finally accepted the medicine Lin Que offered.

“….Thank you.”

“You’re welcome.”

After ending the topic of cultivation method conflicts, Lin Que and Jiang Moqing had no further conversation. Before long, Lin Que found an excuse to leave first.

He indeed needed to find An Xiaoyao to help solve some doubts. Judging from the little demon’s words, that giant egg should be something very important, possibly even related to future crises.

So Lin Que left, leaving only Jiang Moqing and Qin Wanyuan sitting opposite each other in the pavilion.

Looking at the slightly dazed Jiang Moqing across from her, Qin Wanyuan blinked. She suddenly felt a bit curious about this icy senior sister.

After all, there were too many mysteries surrounding Jiang Moqing. Her identity and background were one, the reason for her broken relationship with Lin Que was another, and the conflict between her multiple cultivation methods mentioned by Lin Que was the third.

The first two couldn’t be directly asked, and Qin Wanyuan knew that her relationship with Jiang Moqing wasn’t good enough to share secrets.

In fact, obtaining this information through the system was already considered cheating. Blindly asking would not only fail to bring them closer but might also cause Jiang Moqing to harbor resentment.

The only part they could discuss was related to cultivation.

“Senior sister, regarding the sword technique taught by our master, I have a few…” She had just started speaking when Jiang Moqing’s voice interrupted her.

“How did you meet him?”

As she said this, Jiang Moqing’s moist lips slightly pursed, and her eyes flickered with a light that Qin Wanyuan couldn’t understand.

Qin Wanyuan was clearly taken aback. She hadn’t expected Jiang Moqing to initiate this topic. However, talking about emotional matters could indeed be a way to subtly gather information about Jiang Moqing. If handled well, it might even bring them closer.

“My acquaintance with Lin Lang is actually related to my sister’s illness…”

For the next quarter of an hour, Qin Wanyuan briefly recounted the process of how she and Lin Que met and fell in love, while Jiang Moqing, surprisingly, brewed a pot of tea for her to soothe her throat.

This was the first time Qin Wanyuan had ever tasted tea brewed by Jiang Moqing.

After listening to the story, Jiang Moqing’s eyes slightly lost focus, as if she was reminiscing about something.

“So that’s the story of Lin Lang and me.”

Qin Wanyuan blinked and then curiously asked Jiang Moqing, “By the way, Senior Sister, you are so beautiful and exceptionally talented. You must have many admirers, right? May I ask if you have ever had someone you fancy?”

After speaking, Qin Wanyuan stared intently at Jiang Moqing.

Indirectly inquiring about Jiang Moqing’s love history was a risky move. If successful, Jiang Moqing might open up to her, bringing them closer.

If there was even a slight misstep, not only would all previous efforts be in vain, but it might also cause Jiang Moqing to harbor resentment towards her.

But Qin Wanyuan had no choice but to take this step. She was too eager to learn about the past between Lin Que and Jiang Moqing, the more, the better.

Upon hearing Qin Wanyuan’s question, Jiang Moqing frowned slightly.

Could it be that he never mentioned our relationship… No wonder she would ask me.

With this thought, Jiang Moqing’s frown gradually relaxed, and she finally spoke calmly:

“I once had a Dao companion, but I have forgotten many things about him.”
