Chapter 355: Playing Tricks

“Big Brother Yao, have you just returned from your morning cultivation?”

The moment that Qin Lie reached Ling Town, he saw that Liu Ting happened to be standing at the town’s entrance, greeting him happily. “I made breakfast for you. Eat something first!”

Qin Lie grinned brightly.

Recently, Qin Lie had been heading to Herb Mountain at night and excavating the stone cave in secret. During the day, he stayed at Ling Town and enthusiastically pursued Liu Ting.

In a few short days, their relationship had advanced by leaps and bounds. Sometimes, when Qin Lie boldly held her hands, she wouldn’t resist and simply blushed, tacitly accepting it.

Nowadays, if Liu Ting hadn’t seen him for a day, she would seem disappointed and sad. When Qin Lie left every night, Liu Ting would briefly feel lost.

The Feng Family clansmen, Wei Li, and the youths from Nebula Pavilion could all see deep affection for Qin Lie from Liu Ting’s attitude. These people secretly cursed how a woman’s heart changed as fast as the turn of a page.

Recently, whenever Feng Yi and Wei Li tried to find an excuse to get near Liu Ting, she would impatiently reject them.

It was as though she were wasting her time just by looking at them. This made Feng Yi and Wei Li look gloomy for an entire day.

Liu Ting had originally promised Feng Yi that, once matters concerning Herb Mountain were finished, she would accompany the people from the Feng Family to Celestial Wolf Mountain and start mining for Fiery Solar Jade.

However, in the past few days, not only had Liu Ting not visited Herb Mountain even once, it seemed she had also lost interest in Celestial Wolf Mountain and Fiery Solar Jade.

This increasingly irritated and angered Feng Yi.

“Miss, when can we return to Nebula Pavilion?” Liu Yan walked out with a bitter smile, faced Liu Ting, and bowed repeatedly.

The Feng Family was from Shattered Ice Manor after all. Regarding the excavation of Herb Mountain, there always had to be someone from Nebula Pavilion overseeing it. This way, once there were profits, Nebula Pavilion would also get a share.

Since Liu Ting was always keeping Qin Lie company during the day, she didn’t have free time to go to Herb Mountain. Therefore, she asked Liu Yan to replace her and monitor the situation of Herb Mountain.

Liu Yan constantly complained about this assignment and kept arguing about returning to Nebula Pavilion. He was no longer willing to work with Liu Ting and the Feng Family.

He didn’t have a good opinion of either.

“Once it’s been confirmed that no ores exist within Herb Mountain, you will then be allowed to return to Nebula Pavilion,” Liu Ting frowned, shouting at Liu Yan carelessly. She then turned to Qin Lie again with a blossoming smile. “Big Brother Yao, I boiled some porridge. Let’s go before it gets cold…”

Qin Lie smiled casually. He left with Liu Ting under the hateful gazes of Feng Yi, Wei Li, and the others.

Not long afterward, having eaten and drank to their heart’s content, Qin Lie and Liu Ting sat together with their wooden chairs leaning against each other, their shoulders almost touching.

Qin Lie smiled faintly. Suddenly, he grabbed Liu Ting’s lily-white hands, looked at her passionately, and said, “Tingting, don’t you think that this Ling Town is a bit noisy?”

Liu Ting’s elegant face filled with a charming blush. She nodded and bashfully said, “After some time, I plan to invite you to Nebula Pavilion to meet my father… I think that my father will definitely like you.”

Qin Lie smiled.

He was immediately aware that Liu Ting had misunderstood the meaning of his words. Him saying that Ling Town was noisy didn’t mean that he wanted to leave. It meant that he want to chase people away.

“Having occupied Ling Town, these people from the Feng Family have been making a racket every single day. It irritates me.” Qin Lie frowned. “All this time, having hunted spirit beasts in the Arctic Mountain Range, I considered Ling Town to be a temporary rest stop. I chose it for its peaceful atmosphere. After the Feng Family came, they disrupted the peace and quiet and it has affected my cultivation somewhat. Furthermore, I feel that the scenery here isn’t too bad, and it’s quiet as well. If it’s just the two of us cultivating here alone, I think it would be more comfortable. What do you think, Tingting?”

“Big Brother Yao, you… want to be alone with me in Ling Town?” Liu Ting cried, as quiet as a fly.

She raised her head slightly and glanced at Qin Lie, her eyes full of happiness, and smiled faintly.

Qin Lie nodded, smiling. “That right. I want to be alone with you at Ling Town without the disturbance of others. Furthermore, that Wei Li, and Feng Yi… the way they look at me is always full of hostility. This makes me very uncomfortable.”

“I understand.” Liu Ting smiled tenderly. Afterward, she got up gracefully and said, “I’ll be out for a while.”

Under Qin Lie’s gaze of encouragement, Liu Ting walked out arrogantly. At this moment, the Feng Family clansmen had not yet left for Herb Mountain. Wei Li and the youths from Nebula Pavilion were all waiting impatiently as well.

“Feng Yi, Uncle Feng too…” Liu Ting looked at the people from the Feng Family and waved, signalling them to come over.

Feng Bin and Feng Yi, who was forcing a smile, arrived beside Liu Ting. Feng Yi asked, “Tingting, what’s the matter?”

“Tingting…”
