AST 1516 - The Hua Clan that doesn’t know when to give up (1/2)

During this period of time, nothing major happened in the Linhai City. The Imperial Cuisine Hall had the protection of the Lan Clan and Ziche Clan and there are also several clans who own a favor to the Imperial Cuisine Hall. So even if Qing Shui isn’t here, there would still be people willing to step up to help the hall settle its problems.

Because Yu Niang had to take care of the little lass, she returned to her room soon after. After Yu Niang left, Qin Qing and Xue Nuo also departed, leaving behind Qing Shui, Yin Tong and Lan Lingfeng.

Although Tianyi had a pretty good relation with Qing Shui and the others, he knew it was impossible for him to stand on the same stage with them. Maybe they might still travel together, or maybe they would split up after a while. It might even be a problem if they wished to meet again in the future.

“Where is this elder miss of Qin Clan from? I can’t even sense her strength. Is she stronger than you?” Lan Lingfeng asked Qing Shui.

The three of them are people who inherited the inheritances of battle gods. When together, they had nothing they couldn’t discuss. And in the future, it can be said that they would stick together in hard times.

“She’s much stronger than me, at least two times or more.” Qing Shui smiled.

However Qing Shui was very happy. He also wished for Qin Qing to be very powerful. No matter what, Qin Qing was their ally and now, she can also be considered their friend.

“Then, you and this elder miss of the Qin Clan…” Lan Linfeng mumbled. His meaning was clear to all.

“Ah, I say Sir Lan. How’s your situation now?” Qing Shui laughed.

Lan Lingfeng instantly was like a withered tomato. He spoke powerlessly, “Now we are ordinary friends or maybe just slightly better than that. It’s so difficult to woo her but if I can’t succeed, I would feel that there’s no meaning in my life.”

“Sometimes its good to put in effort, and at other times, it would be better just to let nature takes its course. If you love someone, don’t pressure them. If you continue in your manner, she might even try to avoid you. For example, if there’s a woman deep in love with you yet she misunderstood your feelings for her. She would say yes to marrying you instantly because she loved you too much. However, she would chose to suicide if you do not want to be with her. What would you do?” Qing Shui smiled.

“I will choose to make things clear and leave her.” Lan Lingfeng spoke resolutely after contemplating for awhile.

“That means that you, the number one young man in the Linhai City is willing to wait decades for the woman you truly love and reject others. Your answer is great, I’m sure many women would be touched by you. But sometimes, things are better left unspoken as actions speaks louder than words. If you put words to emphasize your actions, it would instead become a burden.” Qing Shui smiled.

Qing Shui also knew that his words might not be fully right. But he felt that Ziche Sha wasn't an ordinary woman. One would definitely need a long time to slowly enter inch by inch into her heart.

“Mhm, I understand. Luckily you appeared and pointed me in the right direction. Oh ya, you still didn’t say if there’s anything going on with you and the eldest miss of the Qin Clan?” Lan Lingfeng seemed to be very interested in this topic.

“I have no feelings towards her.” Qing Shui calmly replied.

“Expert. You are truly an expert, my idol. You have to help me then. Why don’t we compete and see if you can pursue the elder miss of Qin Clan first or if I can pursue the elder miss of the Ziche Clan first?”

“Lan Lingfeng are you courting death?” At this moment, Ziche Sha, Qin Qing and Ling Fei walked over.

Lan Lingfeng had a bitter smile on his face as he glanced at Qing Shui. But Qing Shui acted as though he saw nothing at all.

“It’s just a joke. Sha`er, don’t you know what sort of person I am?” Lan Lingfeng smiled mischievously.

Ziche Sha glared at Lan Lingfeng, but Qing Shui was very surprised because he discovered that it wasn’t Lan Lingfeng didn’t have any chance but rather, he stood quite a high chance. Some things cannot be determined so fast, this is especially true for matters of the heart.

Yin Tong and Ling Fei just came by and said hello before returning to their rooms. They were a couple, and their emotions for each other deepened daily. This made Qing Shui envy them, especially so for the fact that they held nothing back when loving each others, with only one person in their hearts.

Qing Shui knew this was impossible for him. It’s known that the stronger a man was, the stronger his desires would be. A strong expert naturally would have a high desire to possess the women he likes. Even if he tried his best not to think about such things, it would be useless.

This, in another perspective, can be motivation. Motivation also came from one having a purpose, as well as one’s own strength.

Qin Qing stared at Qing Shui and smiled at him, bidding him good night before leaving together with Ziche Sha. In this place, only Qing Shui and Lan Lingfeng remained.

“Actually you have a pretty high chance of bagging her. But don’t be too hurried.” Qing Shui laughed as he spoke to Lan Lingfeng.

Lan Lingfeng’s background, looks and characters were all excellent. He’s most definitely the prince charming in the hearts of 99.9% females around the world. Even Qing Shui had no choice but to admit that Lan Lingfeng had a dignified demeanor with all his excellent aspects.

There’s no doubt, he’s truly a prince charming!

“Really?”

“Your mind have gone muddled up. Think back to the past and now, has her attitude to you changed?” Although Qing Shui didn’t know Ziche Sha’s exact feelings for Lan Lingfeng, he could see that at the very least, they can be considered good friends. Lovers usually starts from being friends, and rather than love at first sight, it might be more of what each individual’s hormones are telling them.
