Why Are All the Fairies Trying To Make Me Fall

Chapter 52

Qin Wanyuan, who had just finished brewing tea, was completely stunned at this moment. She never expected Jiang Moqing to be so bold as to hold Lin Que’s hand in broad daylight.

She had only left for a short while!

This was even after Qin Wanyuan had specifically emphasized that she would be back soon. If she had been gone longer, she couldn’t even imagine what Jiang Moqing would have done!

Qin Wanyuan hurriedly ran out of the kitchen with the tea in her hands, and the scene that greeted her was Lin Que trying to leave but being held back by Jiang Moqing.

“Senior Sister, please have some self-respect.” Lin Que’s expression had already turned slightly cold.

This indifferent expression caused Jiang Moqing a pang of heartache, but she still didn’t let go of his hand. Instead, she stared at Lin Que’s right hand, which she was holding.

“Junior Brother, your hand…”

Noticing Jiang Moqing’s gaze, Lin Que frowned, immediately withdrew his arm, and stood with his hands behind his back. “This is an old injury, no need for Senior Sister to worry.”

“Senior Sister!” Qin Wanyuan couldn’t help but raise her voice. Jiang Moqing was startled and turned around, only to see her angry expression.

“Senior Sister, what are you doing?” Qin Wanyuan questioned.

Facing her question, Jiang Moqing felt a moment of guilt and took a step back, but she quickly shook her head. She had a clear conscience; her only purpose was to see her Junior Brother, with no other intentions.

Holding his hand was just because she noticed something unusual about his right hand and wanted to show some concern, nothing more.

After a moment of self-reflection, Jiang Moqing finally spoke, surprisingly questioning Qin Wanyuan in return: “Junior Brother’s right hand is injured, have you noticed?”

“This… of course I know!”

Qin Wanyuan indeed knew about Lin Que’s old injury.

But…

This was something she only learned after being reborn, using the system-provided Dream Sharing Talisman to find out in his and Jiang Moqing’s dream.

As for the previous life… she indeed knew nothing.

Because in Qin Wanyuan’s eyes, Lin Que had always been a towering hero who could remain unfazed even if the sky fell.

She never thought he had a vulnerable side.

Including the fact that he never used his right hand to wield a sword, which Qin Wanyuan had always understood as him being left-handed.

Lin Que would never show his weak side in front of Qin Wanyuan, but in the dream with Jiang Moqing, he would occasionally reveal the side of a young boy, that sense of dependence, which Qin Wanyuan had never seen.

Suddenly, Qin Wanyuan seemed to understand why she was so wary of Jiang Moqing.

There were so many things about Lin Que that she didn’t understand, but on the contrary, Jiang Moqing’s understanding of Lin Que far surpassed her own. Even her current understanding of Lin Que’s past was based on Jiang Moqing’s past with Lin Que.

When the system indicated that her purpose was to help Lin Que strategize with other targets, Qin Wanyuan was prepared to cut off the budding flames in the backyard. That is, once the strategy was completed and enough points were obtained to get through the crisis two years later, she would sever the connection between Jiang Moqing and Lin Que.

This way, everything could return to peace.

But after actually interacting with Jiang Moqing and understanding her past with Lin Que, Qin Wanyuan felt timid.

She was afraid, afraid that she couldn’t compare to Jiang Moqing. Jiang Moqing was so excellent, and she and Lin Que had grown up under the same roof as fellow disciples. Their bond was so deep.

She was afraid that Jiang Moqing would take Lin Que away from her, so she began to resist Jiang Moqing when the strategy reached a critical point.

After understanding this, Qin Wanyuan laughed at herself.

‘The strategy must be completed, and the points must be gathered. Nothing is more important than Lin Lang’s life. But if I keep worrying about whether Lin Lang will be taken away and stop the strategy because of that, wouldn’t that be putting the cart before the horse?’

‘Even if Lin Lang could really be taken away by Jiang Moqing, how could I give up saving him because of this hidden danger? No matter what, the most important thing… will always be him.’

Qin Wanyuan took a deep breath. She decided that she would no longer be timid and would no longer stop Jiang Moqing from contacting Lin Que.

She would wait until the strategy was completed and enough points were gathered to heal Lin Que’s old injuries before competing with Jiang Moqing.

Moreover, she might not necessarily lose.

Qin Wanyuan believed that the bond between her and Lin Que over these two lifetimes would not be easily severed.

Almost at the same time as she had this thought, the system’s voice rang in her mind.

[Congratulations to the host for understanding, you have received a hidden reward: Slight improvement in comprehension, slight improvement in physique.]

[Achievement obtained: Selfless Love.]

[Hidden task triggered: Childhood Friend VS Newcomer! Please represent the Newcomer faction and win in the faction war.]

[Task reward: Ten thousand system points.]

A series of system prompts buzzed in Qin Wanyuan’s ears.

After digesting these, she suddenly felt that her mind seemed much clearer. The most direct feeling was that Jiang Moqing’s sword dance over the past two days, which she had not understood before, now revealed its essence to her.

Qin Wanyuan blinked. She hadn’t expected that just by making up her mind, she would trigger the system’s hidden rewards.

Although her thoughts had been numerous, not much actual time had passed.

Jiang Moqing looked at Qin Wanyuan, who had relaxed her furrowed brows, and faintly felt an indescribable pressure, as if the latter had suddenly comprehended something in these few short breaths.

“Senior Sister.”

Qin Wanyuan spoke, a faint smile on her face. “Although I know Lin Lang has old injuries, I don’t know how to treat them. May I ask if Senior Sister has any methods?”

Hearing Qin Wanyuan admit so frankly that she couldn’t treat Lin Que, Jiang Moqing was stunned for a moment, then replied:

“I do, but I’m not sure if it will work.”

Jiang Moqing indeed had an ancient method to treat injuries to the arm’s meridians. She had specifically asked the master of Heartless Valley for it during her training there.

Although it couldn’t achieve the miracle of reconnecting the meridians, it was indeed effective.

Because… Jiang Moqing had tested it on her own right hand.

In fact, before discovering that Lin Que’s right hand had not healed, Jiang Moqing didn’t even know why she wanted to ask the Valley Master for advice on how to treat the meridians, nor did she understand why she wanted to use her dominant hand to perform this dangerous experiment.

Now she understood.

“If needed, I can teach this method to my junior brother.”

“Lin Que is just an ordinary inner disciple, unworthy of such a great gift.” Lin Que declined with a bow.

One should not receive rewards without merit, let alone accept gifts from an ex. It was best for him and Jiang Moqing to end things with no debts between them.

If he accepted the favor for no reason, he didn’t know what might happen.

However,

Qin Wanyuan stepped in front of Lin Que at this moment, “We will accept Senior Sister’s kindness. If Senior Sister can truly heal Lin Lang’s injury, I will definitely repay the favor.”
