Why Are All the Fairies Trying To Make Me Fall

Chapter 51

Seeing Qin Wanyuan so wary, Jiang Moqing frowned.

She just wanted to see Lin Que, she wouldn’t do anything out of line, so why was Qin Wanyuan so defensive?

It was as if… she thought Jiang Moqing was here to steal her man.

‘Clearly, you are the latecomer.’

Jiang Moqing’s fists clenched, her nails unconsciously digging into her palms, and the slight pain from the blood seeping out brought her back to her senses.

“The sword demonstration yesterday was incomplete, so I came again today.”

She came prepared, at least with a decent excuse.

Qin Wanyuan, of course, knew that Jiang Moqing’s intentions were not pure. It was obvious that the main task set by the system yesterday had a remarkable effect. In just one night, Jiang Moqing’s favorability had once again broken through the critical point, reaching above ninety.

In other words, now she just needed to find a way to increase Lin Que’s favorability towards Jiang Moqing, and the strategy would be complete.

But after experiencing last night’s memory dream, Qin Wanyuan felt uneasy. After all, the scene of Jiang Moqing riding on Lin Que was too shocking for her.

Although she understood that this was a necessary move to get through the crisis with Lin Que two years later, thinking about it was one thing, actually seeing it was another.

To be honest, she was starting to get scared. She was afraid that if she let Jiang Moqing in, she would really take Lin Que away.

【Host, are you having second thoughts? There’s no turning back once you draw the bow. If you give up now, all your previous efforts will be in vain, and two years later, no one will be able to save Lin Que.】

‘I… I know that! I don’t need you to nag!’

Qin Wanyuan shouted in her heart, then took a deep breath and put on a smile for Jiang Moqing.

“So that’s it, thank you for coming, Senior Sister. Please come in.”

For some reason, Qin Wanyuan felt that her words were like inviting a wolf into the house, and she even had to say “welcome” to the wolf.

In any case, Jiang Moqing finally entered the courtyard. Looking at the arrangement of Qin Wanyuan’s cave mansion, she felt a bit dazed.

Just like when Qin Wanyuan entered Jiang Moqing’s cave mansion and felt a sense of familiarity, Jiang Moqing could also see that familiar warmth in the courtyard’s arrangement.

It makes sense, after all, the decoration of these two caves was done by Lin Que.

Due to the similar layout, Jiang Moqing’s gaze naturally fell on the master bedroom.

‘Is that where they sleep together every night…’

Jiang Moqing felt a pang of bitterness in his heart, but quickly suppressed it with the Heart Method of the Valley of Mercilessness, returning to a state of indifference.

However, as the Heart Method of the Valley of Mercilessness was operating, the voice of the inner demon reappeared.

‘Doing this is nothing more than drinking poison to quench thirst. I wonder how long you can endure it.’

‘Don’t think you can disturb my Dao heart.’

Jiang Moqing frowned, and the inner demon stopped speaking, only laughing silently.

Ignoring the inner demon’s antics, Jiang Moqing’s gaze returned to the pavilion where Lin Que was.

At this moment, Lin Que was reading an old, tattered book, covering most of his face.

He was indeed very embarrassed, after all, he had just had a spring dream about his senior sister last night, and today she unexpectedly showed up.

Lin Que didn’t understand why he dreamed of the loving past with Jiang Moqing, but that was all in the past. He couldn’t possibly be reluctant to part with Jiang Moqing just because of a dream.

So the only emotion left was embarrassment.

In fact, Lin Que initially wanted to hide in his room, but Qin Qian’er was also in the room. If he went back, he would have to be alone with her, which was another kind of awkwardness.

Fortunately, Jiang Moqing didn’t greet Lin Que directly but took out a sword and started practicing in the courtyard.

Feeling the fierce sword energy, Lin Que couldn’t help but peek out from behind the book to observe carefully.

‘The sword energy is pure, the strikes are fierce, and the transitions are seamless, making it hard to find any flaws… It seems that senior sister has also made great progress over the years. If she continues to practice for another ten years, she could formally inherit the master’s mantle.’

‘As for me… I’ve been stagnant all these years.’

Lin Que looked down at his right hand, which was still trembling slightly from an old injury, with his heart and dantian faintly aching.

These injuries, which could be considered incurable, prevented his cultivation from progressing.

Originally, Lin Que didn’t care much, as he was no longer the boy who saw the sword as everything. His focus had long shifted to his family.

Taking Qin Wanyuan home to meet his parents, then getting married in front of his relatives, having a child, and living a peaceful life as a family.

Although this seemed like setting up a flag, it was indeed Lin Que’s true inner thoughts.

But…

Things didn’t go as planned. Qin Wanyuan’s recent abnormal behavior made Lin Que feel a storm was coming.

An unknown crisis could strike at any time.

For this reason, Lin Que had to pick up his sword again and become stronger, at least strong enough to face the unknown crisis.

So… the little demon’s task must be completed.

Fortunately, the little demon and he were bound by life and death, sharing the same interests, otherwise, he wouldn’t have had the space to bargain.

Sighing, Lin Que raised the old book again to cover his face, focusing on reading the method to restore his meridians, planning to heal his old hand injury as soon as possible.

After a sword dance ended, Jiang Moqing sheathed her sword, a few drops of fragrant sweat seeping from her forehead.

“Senior Sister is indeed amazing.”

Qin Wanyuan couldn’t help but praise.

Although this Senior Sister harbored ill intentions towards her Lin Que, she had to admit that her swordsmanship was indeed very high.

At least after this sword dance, Qin Wanyuan benefited a lot.

Glancing at Jiang Moqing, who was wiping her sweat, Qin Wanyuan pondered for a moment and decided to make her a cup of spiritual tea.

After all, she hadn’t done anything wrong at the moment, and not even offering a cup of tea would indeed be against the way of hospitality.

“Senior Sister, please sit for a while. I’ll make you a cup of tea and be right back.”

Seemingly a bit uneasy, Qin Wanyuan specifically emphasized the time.

“Mm.” Jiang Moqing nodded.

Only then did Qin Wanyuan turn and head to the kitchen.

She jogged all the way.

Glancing at Qin Wanyuan’s back, Jiang Moqing put her sword back into the storage ring, walked to the pavilion, and sat down at a certain distance from Lin Que.

Although Lin Que used a book to cover most of his face, Jiang Moqing still stared intently at his exposed jawline.

After a moment of silence, she finally spoke.

“….Junior Brother.”

Hearing this long-unheard address, Lin Que was stunned for a moment. He hadn’t expected Jiang Moqing to take the initiative to speak to him.

“Mm.”

Out of politeness, Lin Que responded.

Lin Que’s slightly cold attitude still caused a pang in Jiang Moqing’s heart. Her nails unconsciously dug into her palm again, as if only physical pain could alleviate such suffering.

“How have you been these years?”

“Thank you for your concern, Senior Sister. Wanyuan and I have been very happy.”

“Is that so…. that’s good.”

The two continued this question-and-answer exchange, with Lin Que’s gaze never leaving his book.

At the end of the conversation.

Jiang Moqing looked at Lin Que, her fingertips pinching the hem of her skirt, and said, “Junior Brother, I dreamed of you last night.”

Hearing this, Lin Que was stunned, recalling his dream from the previous night, and couldn’t help but feel even more awkward.

Could there really be such a coincidence in the world?

Of course, Lin Que couldn’t tell Jiang Moqing that he had also dreamed of her last night. If misunderstood, it would be impossible to explain.

After thinking for a moment, he decided to leave as the best strategy. He put away the ancient book, stood up, and prepared to leave.

“I’ll go to the kitchen to check on how Wan Yuan’s tea is brewing.”

Seeing Lin Que’s departing figure, Jiang Moqing felt her mind go blank. She stood up and chased after him, grabbing his hand directly.

“Don’t go!”

At the same time, Qin Wanyuan, who was brewing tea, suddenly received a system prompt.

[Congratulations to the host, Lin Que and Jiang Moqing successfully held hands. System points +10. Since this is the first time the two have held hands after being bound by the system, an extra reward of Patience Potion x1.]

Qin Wanyuan: ….?, ?????!!!
