Why Are All the Fairies Trying To Make Me Fall

Chapter 9

Whenever Lin Que’s words were mentioned, Qin Qian’er would grit her teeth in hatred, her beautiful eyes filled with resentment.

It was as if Lin Que was her greatest enemy.

In this regard, Qin Wanyuan felt a bit embarrassed.

What Qin Qian’er said was indeed what Lin Que had said, but the truth was not as she imagined.

In fact, Lin Que’s initial condition was just to look at the moon. However, Qin Wanyuan didn’t believe that such a good thing could exist.

Anything that seems free often comes with a greater price.

So Lin Que didn’t bother to persuade Qin Wanyuan to believe him. Instead, he straightforwardly said that he was threatening her to come to his abode and obey his commands.

What exactly? He didn’t say, but everyone understood. Lin Que also frankly stated that only he in the entire Wenjian Sect could cure Qin Qian’er’s illness.

To save her sister’s life and under Lin Que’s persuasion, Qin Wanyuan eventually gave in.

After that, Qin Qian’er’s illness was indeed cured, and Qin Wanyuan fulfilled her promise, going alone to Lin Que’s abode late at night.

However…

The terrible scene she expected didn’t happen. When she arrived at Lin Que’s abode, he was dressed in a white robe, sitting alone in a pavilion, brewing a pot of tea.

“Just in time, accompany me to look at the moon.”

Yes, Lin Que called Qin Wanyuan to his abode, saying he wanted her to obey his commands.

Qin Wanyuan had prepared herself for the worst, but in the end… he really just wanted her to look at the moon with him?

Throughout the process, Lin Que behaved like a perfect gentleman. There was no physical contact, and even their seats were separated by a body width.

In short, nothing happened between the two that night. They just quietly sipped tea, admired the full moon in the sky, and didn’t even say much.

As Lin Que looked up at the moon, his sharp profile caught Qin Wanyuan’s eye. She slowly squinted her eyes, starting to feel curious about this man.

Feeling curious about the opposite s*x is the beginning of liking that person. Qin Wanyuan didn’t understand this principle at the time, until she deeply fell for him and then suddenly realized.

“This is how it is. Lin Lang didn’t really threaten me, and… actually, I was the one who first fell for him.” Talking about the development of her relationship with Lin Que, Qin Wanyuan still felt shy.

“…How could this be?” Qin Qian’er blinked. She never expected that the secret she had buried in her heart for so long was just a misunderstanding.

“If you had told me earlier, there wouldn’t have been such a big misunderstanding with Lin Lang.” Qin Wanyuan gently stroked her sister’s head. “Remember to get along well with him from now on.”

“…..” Qin Qian’er didn’t say anything, just buried her head back into the breakfast Lin Que had prepared.

Qin Wanyuan, on the other hand, had to leave, so she didn’t stay long.

After a brief grooming, she left with Lin Que.

She didn’t go directly to the senior sister’s cave mansion but planned to visit her master, An Xiaoyao, first.

It wasn’t because she wanted to choose her master as Lin Que’s target, but just to have her master act as a middleman, introduce her newly admitted junior sister, and by the way, ask if Jiang Moqing was still in the sect.

They both belonged to the personal disciples of the sixth elder of the Wenjian Sect, An Xiaoyao. Their cave mansions were located on the Lingqi-rich Drunken Jade Peak. Qin Wanyuan’s was halfway up the mountain, while Jiang Moqing’s was slightly higher.

Flying on the sword, they arrived in a moment.

An Xiaoyao’s cave mansion was not as luxurious and grand as other elders’. Surrounded by bamboo forests at the peak, with birds chirping and a faint fragrance in the air, it was more like a fairyland without any mundane decorations.

Qin Wanyuan stopped at the door, gently knocked, and respectfully called out, “Disciple Qin Wanyuan is here to see Master.”

As soon as she finished speaking, the door automatically opened to both sides. Following the bamboo path forward, at the end was a simple bamboo pavilion. A dignified and elegant woman in a plain white cheongsam was sitting in the pavilion making tea.

The plain white cheongsam wrapped tightly around the woman’s waist, showing no trace of excess flesh even when sitting, contrasting with her full bosom.

The cheongsam’s slit was just right, revealing her smooth, snowy thighs, elegant yet seductive.

Yes, she was wearing a cheongsam.

“Feel free to speak.”

“Disciple wishes to visit Senior Sister. May I ask if Senior Sister has returned from her training, and… could Master introduce us?”

Hearing Qin Wanyuan’s request, An Xiaoyao was visibly taken aback.

“Qing’er has indeed returned, but…”

As she said this, An Xiaoyao instinctively glanced at Lin Que. Seeing the latter nod, she sighed.

“If you wish to see Qing’er, just go ahead. I have mentioned you to her, but Qing’er is naturally aloof, and after training in the Valley of Heartlessness for several years… I’m afraid she won’t be too enthusiastic about receiving you, Junior Sister.”

“Valley of Heartlessness?”

As the name suggests, the Valley of Heartlessness is a sect formed by cultivators who have severed their emotions and desires. At some point, it became a sect exclusively for women.

It is said that most of the women there have been hurt by love.

And Senior Sister trained there for several years…

“I understand, but I believe that the bond between fellow disciples should be maintained. Both emotionally and rationally, I should visit Senior Sister.”

“Then do as you wish.” After Lin Que nodded, An Xiaoyao did not persuade further, only inviting them to drink a few more cups of tea.

After finishing the tea and bidding farewell to An Xiaoyao, the two of them descended the mountain on their swords and arrived at Jiang Moqing’s cave residence.

Standing at the door, Qin Wanyuan felt a bit uneasy.

After all, she was about to meet Lin Que’s ex, who had just returned from training in the Valley of Heartlessness. The difficulty of this strategy was likely to be extremely high.

‘No matter what, I chose this target myself, I can’t back out now.’

In fact, she only had this one option.

She couldn’t possibly let Lin Que pursue her master or her junior sister, right? Qin Wanyuan couldn’t accept that.

Moreover, with a broken mirror, it’s hard to make it whole again. Lin Que and Jiang Moqing had broken up once. While the difficulty of pursuing her was high, it also meant that even if she succeeded, there would still be cracks between them.

This also meant it would be easier for them to break up again.

This was Qin Wanyuan’s little scheme.

Knocking on the door and announcing her name, the door of the cave residence quickly opened.

The one who opened the door was a woman of about twenty-four years old, tall and with a peerlessly beautiful face that seemed to be covered with a layer of eternal ice, without any expression.

Just one look made Qin Wanyuan shrink back timidly.

Was this her Senior Sister, and Lin Que’s target—Jiang Moqing?

“Hello, Senior Sister.” She greeted politely, but received no response. Jiang Moqing just looked at them coldly.

‘It’s over… Senior Sister Jiang looks hard to approach, and the system task says to visit for half an hour. Now it looks like we’re going to be shut out. What should I do…’

“Um, Senior Sister…” Qin Wanyuan racked her brain to find a way to bring up the topic of inviting them inside for a cup of tea.

At the same time, she glanced at Jiang Moqing’s attribute panel, hoping to find a breakthrough.

Her gaze finally fell on Jiang Moqing’s favorability towards Lin Que.

Is this what it looks like when the favorability is only five percent? As expected of a woman who has trained in the Valley of Heartlessness for years, she has truly achieved heartlessness and desirelessness… Wait, something seems off.

Right before Qin Wanyuan’s stunned eyes, Jiang Moqing’s favorability towards Lin Que suddenly increased, and it kept increasing.

Favorability +1, Favorability +1, Favorability +1…

Soon, Jiang Moqing’s favorability broke through the forty mark, reaching a friendly level.

But on the surface, Jiang Moqing still looked coldly at Lin Que and herself, with no change from before.

Qin Wanyuan blinked in confusion.

Senior sister, is your favorability a bit off?!
