Chapter 3.1 - Wei Liang. Ah, Wei Liang (1/2)

The hatred emanating from Qing Yun Xi made Lin Jiu curious about him.

She carefully observed the seriously injured that was lying on the cold jade bed. He was the first apprentice that Wei Liang brought to the sect. Master and apprentice looked alike, with their pair of cold eyes and thin lips.

At Lin Jiu‘s constant stare, Qing Yun Xi’s pale face turned red from the anger inside of him and the veins in his sluggish eyes began to strain. Lin Jiu realized that the black lotus in her mind started moving again. That lonely petal bloomed by about sixty percent now.

The corner of her lips raised. She leaned forward and reached out her fair and tender hand, lightly covering the back of Qin Yun Xi’s hand that rested beside him.

Cold, so cold.

Before the others could even react, Lin Jiu’s brows lifted and she smiled like a loving mother. “Don’t you worry, child,” she said, like a mother soothing her infant. “Your master and I will not let anything happen to you! He will always be your master. As your master’s wife, I will also treat you like my own child! Rest peacefully and I will come and visit you every day.”

Qin Yun Xi’s eyeballs bulged and he almost passed out again.

That one petal on the black lotus fully bloomed inside Lin Jiu. With the bloom of the outermost petal, a strong surge of warmth poured from her mind, from the Baihui acupoint to conception, then the governor vessels and finally into the lower elixir field. The tangled and intermittent auras in her veins cleared up instantly. She felt cool and light from head to toe, it was like her body had been electrified and gone numb. Her first tightened and she immediately felt an extraordinary surge of power forming within her palm. She felt like she could push over a calf with just one hand.

This time, Lin Jiu would honestly treat Qin Yun Xi like her own son. The kind that will make money for her!

The kind smile on her face widened.

“You!” Liu Qing Yin cried. Her pretty face was bright red out of anger. “You!”

Lin Jiu tilted her head. “Hmm? What? Did I say something wrong?” she said innocently.

Was it possible that the female protagonist wanted to be her daughter so that she’ll be able to have both a son and a daughter? Lin Jiu looked at Liu Qing Yin in anticipation.

Liu Qing Yin was the one who was dumbfounded instead. After recalling what Lin Jiu said before, she sadly realized that Lin Jiu actually didn’t say anything wrong. Wei Liang would forever be Qin Yun Xi’s master, Lin Jiu was married to the master, and Lin Jiu wanted to take care of Big Brother…and there was nothing wrong with that too. So why was Liu Qing Yin so frustrated about it?!

Liu Qing Yin’s eyes turned red, and she lightly stomped her feet.

The two beautiful women stared at each other for a moment, but Liu Qing Yin couldn’t endure Lin Jiu’s gaze and looked away first. She spoke in a soft voice. “Big Brother is famous for being the greatest swordsman in the realm. Even if he is seriously injured now, he is not a kid anymore. He doesn’t need you to take care of him. He just needs some rest and he’ll recover by himself.”
