Chapter 335 (1/2)

Du Qiying, however, wasn’t as shallow as the other male cultivators on Broken Sword Peak. He took the initiative to approach Lin Yufan because of the relationship between Lin Yufan and Lin Xuanzhi — Lin Xuanzhi attached great importance to this Lin clan elder sister.

When Lin Yufan saw that someone was blocking the way, he cast a cold glance at Du Qiying, “Senior Martial Brother Du, what can I do for you?”

“…” Du Qiying received a tactful rejection and felt somewhat awkward, but he still tried to keep up a facade, “I went out and came across a martial sister from my sect, so I came up to greet you.”

Lin Yufan knew about the conflicts between him and Lin Xuanzhi, so he didn’t give him any face at all. He spoke abruptly, “Now that you’re done greeting me, I’ll leave first.”

Du Qiying, “…”

At this time, Lin Yurou walked over with Tong Le.

Between them, Lin Yurou still held magic treasures and medicinal pills in her hand. Lin Yufan glanced at them. These items were all expensive and were definitely not things that Lin Yurou could afford with her current financial resources.

Upon seeing Lin Yufan, Lin Yurou’s expression didn’t look very good, but she still maintained her smile and hid her items behind her. “Elder sister, why are you outside?”

Lin Yufan cast a cold glance at Lin Yurou, “What’s that in your hand?”

Although Lin Yurou was somewhat afraid of Lin Yufan in her heart, she was still a little girl and was used to being competitive in front of Lin Yufan. Moreover, the items in her hands really satisfied her vanity.

Therefore, Lin Yurou held out the two magic treasures and two bottles of medicinal pills in her hand and smiled from ear to ear. She replied sweetly, “Elder sister, this is a gift from Senior Martial Brother Qiying.”

Lin Yufan responded coolly, “You don’t get a reward if it’s not deserved. Do you have no qualms about taking other people’s gifts? You’d better return these things back to Senior Martial Brother Du.”

Du Qiying cut in with a dark expression, “I have no reasons to take back what I’ve gifted out.”

Lin Yurou stated flatly, “If that’s the case, then how much is this in total? You should think of some way to return it to Senior Martial Brother Du.”

Lin Yufan thought to himself, So she has already changed her way of addressing Senior Martial Brother Qiying. It seems that Du Qiying has really deceived Lin Yurou a lot this month.

Lin Yurou’s expression suddenly looked a little ugly.

With a smile on his face, Du Qiying explained, “Junior Martial Sister Yufan, what you said is unpleasant. Yurou is both my junior martial sister from the same sect and also a kindred spirit. Today I went down the mountain to purchase goods and happened to run into Junior Martial Sister, so I naturally wanted to give some meeting gifts as a gesture of goodwill.”

Lin Yufan looked at the brand-new hair accessories on Lin Yurou’s head and couldn’t help sneering in his heart. “Senior Martial Brother Du, one who is unreasonably solicitous is hiding evil intentions. You went down the mountain to buy goods. What did Lin Yurou come down for? You guys ‘just so happened’ to bump into each other? Lin Yurou, don’t forget that you are a girl. Senior Martial Brother Du is a man who has a fiance, not one you can boldly covet.”

Lin Yurou and Du Qiying were humiliated by Lin Yufan, who spared no consideration of their reputations. Their expressions turned a mixture of green and white, which looked very beautiful.

Du Qiying said angrily, “In your heart, am I such a vile person who is either a rapist or a thief?  You are using a petty person’s heart to measure a gentleman’s generosity!”

Lin Yufan leisurely replied, “I don’t deny that I am a petty person, but you are no gentleman. If you want to pretend to be a gentleman, at the very least, you shouldn’t be lustful. I used to have a good impression of Senior Martial Brother Du, but your actions have aroused my suspicion. There are eyes everywhere, Senior Martial Brother Du should conduct oneself well.”

Du Qiying was full of anger. He originally thought that Lin Yufan was very beautiful and unique, so he wanted to seduce her into his harem and use her. However, he didn’t expect that after this confrontation, he realised that Lin Yufan was actually such an inconsiderate person who was really difficult to deal with and wasn’t afraid of death!

Du Qiying’s mood dissipated all of a sudden, as he no longer held even an ounce of tender feelings for the fairer sex with regards to Lin Yufan.

Du Qiying stared at Lin Yufan with a sullen face, “You actually dare to lecture me?”

Lin Yufan felt that Du Qiying was rather quick to lose his cool and couldn’t even be compared with Tong Le, who was close by.

He slightly curled up his lips with some obvious disdain, “How can that be? I’m not your mother; what responsibility do I have, for me to waste my time lecturing you?”

“You–” Du Qiying was infuriated.

When Tong Le saw that Du Qiying wanted to hit a woman, he stepped forward to ease the atmosphere, “Senior Martial Brother, don’t argue with women. We still have other things to do. Let’s deal with them first.”

Du Qiying saw many passers-by looking this way, so he repressed his anger with his last remaining bit of rationality. He gritted his teeth, “Wait till we get back to the sect. We will talk about everything then.”

Lin Yufan nodded. “Senior Martial Brother, take care. Lin Yurou, go back together with me.”

Lin Yurou paused, “I went down the mountain together with my senior martial brother. Why should I go back with you?”

Lin Yufan looked at Du Qiying intensely, “Happened to bump into each at the foot of the mountain by chance, huh? If you want to tell a lie, why don’t you coordinate your stories beforehand?”

Du Qiying’s lie was exposed in public, so he was humiliated for a while. Yet the person who revealed his lie was none other than Lin Yurou. Du Qiying couldn’t help but complain that Lin Yurou had no brain.

Lin Yurou’s expression changed. Just as she wanted to explain and fix the situation, she heard Lin Yufan’s words, “I’m going to visit my family these two days. If you want your father to know that you are close with a man who has a fiance and that you’re coveting other people’s things…”

“I didn’t!” Lin Yu angrily denied and her small face reddened.

“It’s best if you didn’t.” Lin Yufan expressionlessly replied. “What are you doing, still following Senior Martial Brother? Why aren’t you returning the items?”

Not long ago, Lin Yurou had also encountered a similar situation and had lost a lot of face in public. Moreover, Du Qiying had helped her everywhere these days and was also gentle and generous, plus he held a high position on Broken Sword Peak. This made it very hard for Lin Yurou to not be moved by Du Qiying.
