Why Are All the Fairies Trying To Make Me Fall

Chapter 46

It was the familiar feeling of falling through the clouds again. Qin Wanyuan once again entered the memory dream of Lin Que and Jiang Moqing.

This time, the dream scene did not connect to the last scene she saw, but was an extremely impactful scene.

In the wilderness, a group of monsters was attacking a group of cultivators wearing the robes of the Wenjian Sect. In addition, there were many corpses in other clothing on the ground.

The monsters’ eyes were fierce, and the disciples of the Wenjian Sect were retreating step by step, suffering heavy casualties. The scene was filled with blood and gore, a sight of brutal carnage.

Some people tried to fly into the sky to escape, but were blocked by an invisible barrier.

Qin Wanyuan blinked in confusion.

“Isn’t this Lin Lang’s memory? Why am I seeing these unrelated people….”

Just as this thought occurred, one of the disciples of the Wenjian Sect, who was being besieged by demonic beasts and in a sorry state, suddenly raised his head and roared angrily at the sky.

“Lin Que! How dare you treat us like this?! If you kill me, my family elders will never let you go!!!”

Qin Wanyuan was stunned for a moment, then looked up and saw a young man standing in the sky, stepping on a flying sword with his hands behind his back.

The young man was dressed in a blood-stained white robe, his expression cold and stern, and the scar that almost crossed his entire face was extremely hideous.

He was Lin Que.

“Those who kill will always be killed. From the moment you attacked me and my senior sister, you should have expected this outcome.”

Lin Que said coldly, without any expression: “If I am killed by your family elders in the future, it will only be because I am not strong enough. Conversely… the same applies.”

After hearing Lin Que’s words, Qin Wanyuan looked at the disciples of the Wenjian Sect who were being besieged by demonic beasts on the ground and finally recognized them as the aristocratic children who had previously tried to harm Lin Que.

Immediately, a series of memory fragments flashed before Qin Wanyuan’s eyes like a revolving lantern.

It turned out that after rescuing Jiang Moqing last time, Lin Que had voluntarily applied to carry out the sect’s assigned task, and those aristocratic children had also taken on the same task.

Both sides knew very well that this seemingly ordinary investigation task was actually a grudge match between them.

Only one side could survive.

The aristocratic children had prepared all the forces they could mobilize, hired assassins, had their family elders secretly follow, ready to ambush at any time, and even the accompanying elder for this task was one of their people.

In contrast, Lin Que went alone.

Before the actual battle began, the aristocratic children were all smug, only wanting to see how miserable Lin Que’s end would be, never thinking they would lose.

After all, the actual combat power gap between the two sides was too great.

In fact, it was indeed so.

Even though Lin Que had once been crippled in cultivation and had not yet returned to his peak, the reputation of the leader of the Eastern Region was not something a group of aristocratic children, whose cultivation was as fragile as a castle in the air due to relying on elixirs, could shake.

As for the accompanying elder…

Qin Wanyuan seemed to realize something. She looked up again and found that there were actually experts fighting in the sky.

The sky was covered with dark clouds, thunder rolling, but soon it was cut through by sword light, the momentum so great that even the mountains were faintly trembling.

Qin Wanyuan strained her eyes to see, barely making out two high-speed figures clashing in the sky.

The battle quickly came to an end, with one figure suddenly falling to the ground, creating a deep pit. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be the accompanying elder.

“Although this elder’s cultivation is considered low among the elders, he still has the cultivation of the Nascent Soul stage, just one step away from the Divine Transformation stage. Who on earth did this?”

Qin Wanyuan wondered, looking up, only to see a figure so familiar it couldn’t be more familiar.

It was An Xiaoyao.

The accompanying elder in the pit coughed up blood mixed with flesh, his eyes full of fear, but his mouth still unforgiving.

“An Xiaoyao! As an elder of the Wenjian Sect, you condone your disciples to commit murder. Not only that, you even participate in it yourself, disregarding the sect rules. What crime should you be punished for?!”

Hearing this, An Xiaoyao just sneered coldly.

“Rules? Rules that you manipulate at will, what meaning is there in following them? Do you really think I, An Xiaoyao, will be like a lamb, allowing my disciples to be slaughtered by you without any reaction?”

With that, An Xiaoyao slashed out with her sword, severing the life of the accompanying elder.

Before dying, the accompanying elder glared at An Xiaoyao and uttered his last words.

“Don’t think… others will spare you.”

“We never intended to spare them. Rest assured, they will soon join you. This matter, you can’t escape, and neither can they.” An Xiaoyao sneered.

After hearing this, the accompanying elder died with his eyes wide open, unable to rest in peace.

The other noble children were also devoured by the demonic beasts under the watchful eyes of the two.

Afterwards, their deaths were disguised as being killed by demonic beasts. Even though everyone knew there was something fishy about it, no one could refute Lin Que in court.

This incident formed a stark contrast to when Lin Que was previously wronged.

An Eastern Domain leader who regained his cultivation, and a group of dead noble children, the elders naturally knew how to choose.

No matter how powerful the noble children were, they were now just dead people. Even if their families sought revenge later, it was uncertain who would win.

Moreover, Lin Que’s ruthless retaliation against the noble children who had harmed him proved his ferocity.

The elders knew that if they took sides rashly at this moment, and if Lin Que ended up as the final winner… who could guarantee he wouldn’t seek revenge on them?

Thus, this case full of doubts was left unresolved, and the case files were thrown into a pile of other unsolved cases, never to be touched again.

Witnessing all this, Qin Wanyuan was stunned but also felt a sense of relief. She didn’t think Lin Que was cruel at all, and even wanted to praise him.

“Well done! As expected of Lin Lang, truly impressive!”

The elders’ speculations were indeed correct. Afterwards, the sect experienced an unprecedented wave of ruthless revenge.

The faction of elders who had a deadly feud with Lin Que died mysteriously, and another group was found guilty of unspeakable crimes and imprisoned.

As these events unfolded, Lin Que’s status in the sect rose significantly. Even the elders who had been wavering in their neutrality began to show goodwill towards him, especially the smiling tiger, Elder Eight.

Not only within the sect, but Lin Que also used his status as the Eastern Domain leader to make many friends outside the sect, gradually building his own network of connections, surpassing the families of the noble children.

The families who lost their children could only swallow their bitterness and never mentioned revenge.

There were indeed families who would use all their resources to avenge a noble child, but they were few. Moreover, there wasn’t just one noble child in a family. If one died, there were others to take their place, and those who took their place would not resent Lin Que, but rather thank him for the opportunity.

The world of cultivation is not just about fighting and killing, but also about human relationships.

Lin Que now truly had the status and influence of an Eastern Domain leader.

However, watching Lin Que’s progress step by step, one couldn’t help but feel a bit puzzled.

Lin Que’s entire process of revenge was indeed exhilarating, but… it didn’t seem like his style.

Although a person’s temperament may change after a major incident, such cunning strategies are not something that can be mastered overnight. And where did those incriminating evidences that struck the elder factions’ spines come from?

Did Lin Que have an epiphany, or was there a master guiding him?

Qin Wanyuan was puzzled by this. After all, throughout the story, she hadn’t seen anyone guiding Lin Que, so she could only assume he had an epiphany.

Before Qin Wanyuan could think further, the scene in the dream changed again, to Lin Que and Jiang Moqing’s cave.

Lin Que descended with his sword, landing in the courtyard. Waiting for him was Jiang Moqing, dressed in plain clothes, her face slightly pale.

As soon as she approached, Jiang Moqing anxiously checked Lin Que for any injuries. Her usual cold demeanor was replaced with a hint of girlish concern.

“How are you? Are you hurt?” she asked.

“No, I’m fine. Don’t worry about me.”

The usually indifferent Lin Que actually showed a slight smile at this moment. He instinctively reached out his hand, gently rubbing Jiang Moqing’s head.

“How about you, Senior Sister? How are your injuries?”

Hearing the gentle words of the young man in front of her and feeling the warmth on her head, Jiang Moqing was momentarily stunned. She looked up at Lin Que’s scarred face.

The little guy who used to be shorter than her chin had unknowingly grown taller than her.

Gradually, a blush appeared on Jiang Moqing’s pale face.

“Mm… I’m fine.”
