Chapter 115: Chapter 115: Do Not Deceive the Poor Young Girl
Translator: 549690339
Coaxed by his cousin and under the strong insistence of his parents, Jiang Cheng reluctantly contacted Lin Yao and arranged for her to come to the tea house for tea tasting.
Nominally “tea tasting”, but in reality, Jiang Cheng’s parents insisted on meeting the “perfect girlfriend” Sun Yuan had described, whom Jiang Cheng had vehemently denied any romantic involvement with.
Despite Jiang Cheng’s repeated “denials” about his relationship with Lin Yao, Sun Yuan was so insistent, and his parents were naturally suspicious, inclined to suspect foul play in a pleasant dream, escalating the rumor to the point where they had to meet Lin Yao.
Jiang Cheng explained the situation to Lin Yao, who, without much hesitation, said she was willing to come.
With parents insisting on a meeting and Lin Yao willing to visit, there was no stopping it from either side.
Now, he could only hope that Lin Yao’s enchantress nature would emerge quickly and make his parents regret meeting her.
Jiang Cheng and his parents arrived early at the private room in the tea house to wait.
Zhou Wenqi guessed that Lin Yao would arrive soon, and sent Jiang Cheng out to receive her.
Jiang Cheng naturally had no desire to get close to the enchantress, but being an obedient son, he wasn’t foolishly so. Yet he would try his best to fulfill his parents’ small wishes.
Besides, it was only proper etiquette to welcome Lin Yao, who had come all the way, at the entrance.
Since they had invited her to meet, it wouldn’t hurt to welcome her at the door this once.
At the entrance of the tea house, Jiang Cheng successfully waited for Lin Yao to arrive.
Lin Yao’s attire today was similar to the last time she went to the restaurant: overall, it was appropriately and gently beautiful.
Together with her inherent youthful charm, it kept her overall attractiveness at a consistently high level.
One could only say that she was indeed a plot leading lady on the same level as Liu Qing.
One of the masterpieces of the art department.
“Did elder brother wait long for Yao’er?” Lin Yao immediately asked upon seeing Jiang Cheng.
“About five minutes,” Jiang Cheng replied truthfully.
Lin Yao, holding her small bag in both hands, stood in front of Jiang Cheng with an extremely sincere tone, “I’m sorry, Yao’er shouldn’t have kept elder brother waiting; I will change, it won’t happen again next time.”
Jiang Cheng’s head started to ache.
The previous Lin Yao was overpowering, and Jiang Cheng could refuse her strongly without any guilt.
But the current Lin Yao gave Jiang Cheng a feeling of extreme sincerity, even to the point of being almost humble.
Honestly speaking, Lin Yao’s attitude hit Jiang Cheng’s moral standards hard.
At least, according to Jiang Cheng’s own moral standards, he really couldn’t bring himself to speak harshly to the Lin Yao of now.
“It’s alright, you’re not late, it’s not your fault. Come in with me,” he said.
Jiang Cheng led Lin Yao into the tea house and to the private room where his parents were.
“This is my father, Jiang Lei, and mother, Zhou Wenqi. Mom and Dad, this is Lin Yao.”
After a brief introduction, Jiang Lei, Zhou Wenqi and Lin Yao greeted each other.
Lin Yao took out her small bag and removed two small sachets from it.
“Uncle and Auntie, I didn’t prepare much for meeting you this time; these are embroidered by myself, I hope you like them.”
Jiang Cheng saw Lin Yao’s preparation and thought it was a bad sign.
As expected, his mother Zhou Wenqi fell for it. She was quick to express her surprised thanks to Lin Yao.
Zhou Wenqi, looking at the crude stitches on the sachet, lamented, “There are too few female cultivators who can do needlework these days. Miss Lin, let Auntie see your hand.”
Lin Yao glanced at Jiang Cheng.
Zhou Wenqi said, “Never mind him, show Auntie your hand.”
Jiang Cheng kept silent, and Lin Yao didn’t dare to extend her hand until Zhou Wenqi decisively went over and took Lin Yao’s hand.
Seeing the delicate, pampered hands resembling sheep’s fat jade dotted with numerous small holes from needle pricks, Zhou Wenqi felt extremely distressed.
“Girl, why put yourself through this?” she said.
Lin Yao could only reply with her head lowered, “Previously, Yao’er liked to play and didn’t want to learn household tasks, but now I want to learn. Suffering this much is only right.”
Jiang Cheng closed his eyes, thinking to himself that it was over.
If nothing unexpected happened, his mother Zhou Wenqi would like a female cultivator like Lin Yao.
Beautiful beyond dispute, without a fault to pick. A character that was softly assertive, suitable for diligent household management. Appropriate age, suitable family background. Most importantly, her attitude and feelings towards Jiang Cheng were so evident it was as if he was everything to her.
“Jiang Lei, let’s step out and leave the kids to chat by themselves.”
After half an hour of conversation, Zhou Wenqi was very satisfied with Lin Yao and pulled Jiang Lei away to give Jiang Cheng and Lin Yao a chance to be alone.
Jiang Lei also found Lin Yao appealing, but he still preferred Liu Qing a little more.
Lin Yao’s personality seems to be too indulgent towards Jiang Cheng. Liu Qing, although she speaks less, doesn’t seem to be as casual.
Moreover, the most important thing is that Liu Qing clearly has great maternal qualities. There’s no worry about not having grandchildren.
However, as much as parents may like someone, at most they can give a little push; the ultimate fate still depends on the children themselves.
In the private room of the tea house, Jiang Cheng and Lin Yao faced each other.
Lin Yao didn’t want to miss out on the rare opportunity to be alone with Jiang Cheng, who also had something he wanted to ask Lin Yao.
“Lin, what exactly do you want to do?” Jiang Cheng voiced the question that had been troubling him for many days.
“Brother, Yao’er has fully realized that her previous behavior was wrong. Now, she only wishes for Brother’s forgiveness and another chance,” Lin Yao replied with unwavering determination in her eyes, as though obtaining Jiang Cheng’s forgiveness and becoming his Dao companion were her life’s ultimate pursuits.
“But why do you insist on clinging to me? I remember that you should care more about cultivation and not be too concerned with romantic relationships,” Jiang Cheng said with a headache.
Without hesitation, Lin Yao asserted, “Cultivation is important, but Brother is the most important in Yao’er’s heart.”
“Can’t you like someone else?”
“Unto death unwavering.”
Holding his forehead, Jiang Cheng said, “You’re not also planning to apply for Lotus Cloud University, are you?”
“Yes.” Lin Yao nodded.
Jiang Cheng remembered that Lin Yao’s last destination was the Taixu Sect, where she was discovered by people of the Demonic Tao and turned into an Enchantress of the Demonic Path.
If she followed him to Lotus Cloud University, there would be a high chance she’d end up at the Tongtian Sect. This would completely mess up her plot line as the leading lady.
On the one hand, to prevent Lin Yao from going to Lotus University, and on the other, for the sake of the plotline, Jiang Cheng said, “No, you should go to Qinghe Xuanran University, and after graduation, join the Taixu Sect as a disciple.”
Frowning in thought, Lin Yao asked, “Brother, if Yao’er goes to the Taixu Sect, would you be willing to forgive her?”
Jiang Cheng had never really “blamed” her, apart from not wanting to be near an Enchantress. There wasn’t really anything to “forgive.”
After all, Lin Yao’s character was designed by his colleague, the copy planner. If Lin Yao were normal, she couldn’t play the role of an Enchantress.
But the problem now was that if Jiang Cheng said “I forgive you,” then Lin Yao would surely take a mile after being given an inch and find an excuse to stick to him.
This door couldn’t be opened.
He had to use a tactful reason to hand out a “Good Person Card” to Lin Yao.
Jiang Cheng thought of something Lin Yao could never achieve and told her, “Becoming a disciple of Taixu Sect is not enough. If you can become the Sect Leader of the Taixu Sect, I will agree to anything you want.”
The Sect Leader of Taixu Sect is, at the very least, a cultivator of the Mahayana Realm on par with Liu Qing.
Moreover, holding command over one of the Five Great Immortal Sects, they possess supreme personal strength that dominates the entire Cultivation World, along with boundless resources and overwhelming authority.
If Lin Yao truly reached that position, whether Jiang Cheng was willing or not, he would be entirely at Lin Yao’s mercy.
“Really!” Lin Yao’s tone could hardly conceal her excitement.
It seemed to her that becoming the Sect Leader of Taixu Sect was far simpler than obtaining Jiang Cheng’s forgiveness. Fiind upd𝒂ted 𝒏ovels on n𝒐/v/elbin(.)co/m
Jiang Cheng, observing Lin Yao’s determined eyes reminiscent of a novel protagonist, felt a bit scared.
However, he then remembered that Lin Yao’s plotline involved becoming an Enchantress of the Demonic Path. Despite her strong constitution, without cultivating demonic techniques, she couldn’t be considered a genius. It was impossible for her to overcome numerous chosen ones to achieve the position of Sect Leader of Taixu.
And once she practiced demonic techniques, she would have no chance with the righteous Immortal Sects. She would only become an Enchantress whom everyone sought to kill.
It was a dilemma without resolution.
“Truly,” Jiang Cheng said, reassured.
“Good, it’s a deal,” Lin Yao said with a resolute tone.
“It’s a deal,” Jiang Cheng also made a promise.
That evening, Lin Yao returned home, the joy in her eyes speaking volumes.
She finally had a clear goal. From now on, she could dedicate herself to striving on the path to becoming a Sect Leader. One day, she would become the Sect Leader of Taixu Sect, obtain Jiang Cheng’s forgiveness, and become his Dao companion, living happily ever after!
Today, Lin Yao’s home was no longer empty; her father, Chief Arrestor Lin Xiao of the Six Fan Gate Wuyue, was also at home.
“Yaoyao, your mother has sent you a letter. She hopes you will attend university diligently and join the Taixu Sect after graduation.”
Lin Yao had no interest in reading her mother’s letter. Her mother had abandoned her since she was a baby.
She had never met her mother and didn’t care to know about that woman.
To her, her mother was no different from any other stranger she had never met.
“I will join the Taixu Sect, but not because of her.”
