Facing the red-dressed woman's teasing tone, Lin Jiangnian remained calm: "Do I look like that kind of person?"
"Isn't it?"
The red-dressed woman asked back, her beautiful eyes sizing up Lin Jiangnian and sneering, "If you're not interested in her, why are you asking me about the taboos of the Xuanyang Heart Technique?"
The night before yesterday, Lin Jiangnian suddenly asked her if practicing Xuan Yang Heart Method could help her lose her virginity. His purpose was self-evident.
At this point, her voice became more playful. "Besides, that little maid is indeed a beauty. She looks delicate and lovable, and she serves you, the Prince of Lin, all day long. Can you really bear it?"
Facing the burning gaze of the woman in red, Lin Jiangnian wanted to refute and prove that he was a gentleman.
But after hesitating for a moment, he sighed softly: "I can't help it."
If he can bear this, he might have to doubt some of his own tendencies.
“Hehe…”
Hearing Lin Jiangnian's honest answer, the woman in red smiled particularly brightly, her beautiful eyes shining: "I didn't expect you to be so honest? I thought you would hide it in front of me."
“Why hide it?”
Lin Jiangnian shook his head: "I am such an honest person!"
The woman in red looked at Lin Jiangnian with a smile. After a moment, she chuckled and shook her head: "That may not be the case."
"How do you say that?"
"I think you're a hypocrite!"
Lin Jiangnian: “…”
"What do you mean?"
"I don't know, it feels that way."
The woman in red looked Lin Jiangnian up and down with her beautiful eyes. The longer they were together, the stronger this feeling became.
She couldn't quite see through Lin Jiangnian in front of her.
This chess piece should have been in her hands, a chess piece for her to use. But for some reason, she always felt a sense of crisis that it would slip out of her control.
His meticulous mind, extraordinary martial arts talent, and intelligence far beyond that of ordinary people all cast a veil of mystery over this guy.
The woman in red suddenly recalled the scene when she first met Lin Jiangnian: late at night, heavy rain, the scene of the murder in the ruined temple, and how calm this guy looked when he faced her...
There's something wrong with this guy!
"You are slandering me!"
Lin Jiangnian shook his head and sighed: "I am a very honest person, never hypocritical, and never hide myself!"
"really?"
"Absolutely true!"
Lin Jiangnian spoke with conviction.
"Then I would like to ask you a question..."
The red-dressed woman's beautiful eyes flickered as she looked Lin Jiangnian up and down for a moment. Suddenly, she asked, "Remember when we first met, you said you were from a small village in the south, right?"
Lin Jiangnian spoke cautiously: "What's the problem?"
That night, Lin Jiangnian woke up and appeared at the crime scene, and was caught red-handed by the woman in front of him. In a panic, he made up a story about his identity.
Why did she suddenly bring it up today?
"Then I have to ask you..."
"What's the name of the little village you're talking about? Where is it?"
Lin Jiangnian: “…”
He just made up a lie, how could he know what village it was?
Just when he was thinking of making up another excuse to fool her, he saw the woman in red looking at him with a smile, her eyes as clear as autumn water seemed to hold a hint of teasing.
Lin Jiangnian was silent, as if he understood something. After a while, he sighed, "You knew I was making that up?"
"What else?"
"Why don't you expose me?"
"Why do you want to expose it?"
The woman in red chuckled, her voice light and cheerful. "It doesn't matter to me who you are. As long as you are willing to follow my instructions and find a way to help me find the Xuanyang Map, that will be enough..."
"Isn't it?"
Lin Jiangnian was silent.
I thought he had concealed it well enough, but it turns out she had seen through everything?
"Speaking of the Xuanyang Diagram...how's your search going?"
The woman in red brought up the serious matter and asked seriously, "Do you have any clues?"
"No."
Lin Jiangnian shook his head.
The woman in red frowned slightly: "Have you asked Zhiyuan about it?"
"I looked for her, but she ignored me."
"I ignored you?"
The woman in red was a little surprised. "Why don't you pay attention to me?"
"How should I know that?"
Lin Jiangnian waved his hand without explaining too much: "Don't worry, I'll go find her in a couple of days to find out."
The woman in red glanced at him, then withdrew her gaze and said in a deep voice, "Then you must hurry up, or else you will have more trouble."
"Don't worry."
Lin Jiangnian nodded, then thought of something: "By the way, what about the thing I asked you to help me check? How is it going?"
"Don't be impatient!"
The woman in red rolled her eyes beautifully: "Wait two more days."
Lin Jiangnian: “…”
“…”
It was unclear whether she was deliberately seeking revenge against Lin Jiangnian, or if she truly hadn't found anything yet. Lin Jiangnian had asked her to investigate Lin Kong's background last night, but there were no leads yet.
However, Lin Jiangnian was indeed not in a hurry.
After the two exchanged some information, they fell into a brief silence.
"Can I ask you a question?"
Lin Jiangnian looked at the woman in red in front of him and spoke again.
"What do you want to ask?"
"You and I are now in the same boat. We all rise and fall together... Shouldn't I have the right to know about some things?"
The woman in red pondered: "For example?"
"For example..."
Lin Jiangnian looked at her, thought for a moment and asked, "Who are you?"
"Someone as beautiful and elegant as you, with such high martial arts skills... should be very famous in the martial arts world, right?"
The red-dressed woman looked at Lin Jiangnian with a smile in her beautiful eyes: "Are you... praising me?"
"This is from the bottom of my heart, no exaggeration at all!"
“Hehe…”
The smile on her face grew wider, and Lin Jiangnian's words seemed to make her feel very interesting.
However, after her smile faded, her eyes gradually turned playful again: "Are you trying to find out my identity so you can find a way to deal with me and escape my control?"
"You worry too much... I absolutely don't have such thoughts!"
Lin Jiangnian flatly denied it.
"Yeah?"
"I barely believe you!"
The woman in red gave him a meaningful look, then shook her head slightly: "When you help me find the Xuanyang Map, I might consider telling you my identity and origins..."
"Also, don't even think about trying to escape from my control..."
The woman in red narrowed her eyes and said, "The poison I've given you cannot be cured even by a top-tier expert. Don't waste your energy struggling!"
Lin Jiangnian was shocked.
Even a top-tier expert can’t solve it?
Are you trying to scare him on purpose?
Or is it true?
"Of course, you don't have to believe it. Just go ahead and find a way to solve it. If you can really solve it, then I have nothing to say. I'll just count you lucky, okay?"
The red-dressed woman's smile was as if everything was under control, calm and composed.
Lin Jiangnian was silent.
After a while, he sighed: "You are still cruel."
"Thank you for the compliment!" She squinted her eyes and smiled brightly.
"So, what kind of poison did you give me?"
Lin Jiangnian looked up at her again.
But she saw her eyes flicker and blurted out: "Heartless Gu."
"Heartless Gu?"
Hearing this name, Lin Jiangnian frowned: "What kind of Gu is this?"
How come he had never heard of the name of this poison?
"This is a rare poison in the world. It's normal that you don't know about it."
The woman in red avoided Lin Jiangnian's gaze, so that he didn't notice the hint of guilt in her eyes.
Lin Jiangnian secretly memorized the name and planned to go to Ruyi Tower to ask Senior Li tomorrow.
Remembering what Elder Li had mentioned before about raising Gu, Lin Jiangnian asked again, "Do you raise Gu?"
"Are you talking nonsense?"
The woman in red rolled her eyes.
"Can you teach me?"
The woman in red immediately looked alert: "What do you want to do?"
"I've been longing for this thing for a long time... Can you teach me?"
The woman in red asked playfully, "Are you sure you just want to learn and have no other intentions?"
"Absolutely not!"
“I won’t teach you!”
The woman in red didn't even think about it and simply shook her head to refuse.
"Why?"
"This is a top secret technique that must not be passed on to anyone else!"
"Then...would you like to reconsider what happened last time?"
"What's up?"
"I want to be your disciple!"
Lin Jiangnian said seriously, "I am sincere."
“No!”
How could the woman in red not know Lin Jiangnian’s little thoughts?
Immediately and categorically refused.
…
It's late at night and everyone is asleep.
The courtyard was already empty.
The woman in red came out of Lin Jiangnian's room, stood under the eaves corridor, looked out at the distant night, and the smile on her face gradually faded.
He lowered his eyes and pondered for a moment, not knowing what he was thinking about.
"Love Gu..."
She lowered her head and murmured something, as if she remembered something, and a hint of worry appeared on her beautiful face.
He looked back at the closed door behind him and remained silent for a long time.
"no……"
"Liu Su, you must not be soft-hearted..."
"Once the love poison is applied, there's no turning back. This is your own choice. For the sake of the Celestial God Cult's plan, you must not make even the slightest mistake..."
The hesitation and worry in Liu Su's eyes finally disappeared, replaced by a firm and cold look.
Turn around and leave.
A touch of red disappeared into the darkness.
Silently.
…
…
…
I wrote until four o'clock last night, and planned in my mind to get up at eight o'clock in the morning to write again. I wrote until two-thirty in the morning, and finally finished all the updates that were posted and the ones I owed!
Even though it’s a little late, I finally fulfilled my promise!
Just when I thought everything was over, suddenly one of the leaders of the big boss 【Bezos】 gave me a reward, which gave me another boost.
Thanks to the big boss for the reward, I became the first leader of this book!
According to the rules for adding chapters that were just set after the game was put on the shelves, one alliance leader is required to add ten chapters... I feel like that's all!
I'm going to die!
The 20,000 words on the shelves have been squeezed dry, there is really not a drop left!
Therefore, the leader's ten additional chapters can only be returned slowly over the next few days, and I will try to make up for it within this week.
Finally, thank you again to Mr. Bezos for the reward!
By the way, if you can use Android to subscribe and reward, please use Android as much as possible. The iOS system will charge a 30% handling fee for recharging and rewarding subscriptions. This means that not only will the reward of an alliance leader be delayed for three months, but even when it reaches the author, it will only be around 300 yuan. It's a huge loss...
