Chapter 146: Why Does It Sound Slightly Familiar?

“Young Master… Is Young Master looking for the rootless fruit for your sweetheart?”

Sikong Wangxing looked directly into Lin Xun’s eyes; the young girl’s Star Eyes were calm and remained as beautiful as ever.

“Why does Miss Sikong say that?”

Lin Xun was somewhat surprised. Why did Miss Sikong think in this direction? Had he exposed something? Or had Miss Sikong’s Star Eyes seen something?

“Young Master doesn’t need to worry.” Seeing the flash of alertness in Lin Xun’s eyes, the girl shook her head, but a pang of pain rose in her heart.

So he was that guarded against her.

“Wang Xing didn’t see anything with her Star Eyes.”

Although her chest felt a bit painful and stifled, Sikong Wangxing still curved her eyes and smiled gently.

“It’s just that Young Master asked me to seek the rootless fruit, yet in Young Master’s eyes, there is no urgency for the rootless fruit itself, but rather a kind of worry for someone else.

So, Wang Xing was wondering if Young Master was seeking the rootless fruit for someone else.

And during these days, the Heaven And Earth Treasures Young Master collected, as well as the looting in the Secret Realm and the treasures obtained…

Young Master always looks at them with an unconscious gaze, as if choosing for someone else, judging whether this item would be useful to them.”

“.”

Lin Xun was momentarily speechless.

Lin Xun never expected Miss Sikong to observe so carefully; she had seen through it all!

This couldn’t help but make Lin Xun think that if he really married Miss Sikong, wouldn’t he be exposed immediately if he ever cheated?

Wait!

Why am I thinking about cheating?!

Also, why am I thinking about marrying Miss Sikong?

Slash, slash, slash, slash!!!

Lin Xun hurriedly brandished the demon slaying saber in his heart.

“I didn’t expect Miss Sikong to see through it all.”

After putting down the demon slaying saber and calming his heart a bit, Lin Xun spoke slowly.

Since he had been seen through, there was no point in hiding it.

“Miss Sikong’s guess is correct. It is indeed so. The rootless fruit is for my wife. Some Spirit Medicines and Spiritual Plants in the Secret Realm, as well as what I got from looting, are also for my wife.”

“Young Master’s wife…”

Sikong Wangxing lightly bit her thin lip, but still spoke.

“Is Young Master’s wife a woman of the Mortal World? Young Master wants to forge a Spiritual Root for her and build a Bridge of Longevity so she can cultivate?”

“.”

Lin Xun could guarantee at this moment that although Miss Sikong was frail, she was definitely even more perceptive than Qinger!

If he really married Miss Sikong, any involvement with another woman would be discovered immediately!

But…

Then again.

Such a gentle woman who followed the principle of the husband as the guide, such a charming young girl.

If he really wanted to take a concubine, would Miss Sikong also agree?

And if…

If he begged Qinger to allow him to take a Secondary Wife, and Miss Sikong also agreed, wouldn’t all his troubles be solved? This blessing of a wife and concubine…

Blessing my foot!

No!

Slash, slash, slash, slash!!!

Lin Xun brandished the demon slaying saber in his heart again!

No matter how good Miss Sikong’s personality was, how could she possibly agree to be his Secondary Wife? She was the Saintess of Tianji City.

And how could Qinger allow him to take a Secondary Wife? Had he forgotten that stone in the courtyard?

Oh no, what’s wrong with me? Why am I always thinking with the premise of marrying Miss Sikong?

“Miss… how did you see this as well?” Lin Xun tried to see if he could play dumb.

“Because the clothes Young Master wears are all common goods. A Cultivator shouldn’t have only Mortal World items on them.”

Sikong Wangxing said softly.

“And Young Master often worries about us catching a cold, and your three meals a day are very regular.

At first, Wang Xing thought it was because Young Master saw Wang Xing’s frail body and feared my condition would worsen.

But Wang Xing saw that Young Master was the same toward Sister Zhu Ling and Sister Nongqin.

Even if the Secret Realm is cold, it wouldn’t matter much to Sister Zhu Ling.

So Wang Xing feels this is a habit Young Master has formed, a habit of taking care of women.

Finally, the rootless fruit can forge a Spiritual Root and establish a Bridge of Longevity, allowing a Mortal to cultivate. So Wang Xing…”

Halfway through, Sikong Wangxing saw Lin Xun’s flustered eyes, which said “Oh no, she guessed everything” and “How should I cover it up,” and her voice stopped abruptly.

Before, what Sikong Wangxing had seen was Lin Xun’s tough, invincible, and overbearing side.

But now, for some reason, seeing such a flustered side of Young Master Lin, the girl’s lips curled slightly, and her eyes grew even gentler.

So, Young Master Lin is so cute when he’s flustered…

The girl lowered her eyes again, her thoughts drifting.

If she really married Young Master Lin, if she had appeared in Young Master Lin’s world a bit earlier…

Then would she be able to see him by her pillow every morning when she woke up?

Every time it was cold, would he drape a coat over her shoulders?

Occasionally, could she also see Young Master Lin’s flustered and cute appearance from time to time?

Pressing her slender hand to her heart, the girl took a deep breath to calm her thoughts that were about to spiral out of control, and said softly:

“Everything is just Wang Xing’s speculation. Young Master doesn’t need to mind; Wang Xing must have guessed wrong.”

Not wanting him to worry, Sikong Wangxing pretended she had guessed wrong and acted as if she knew nothing.

“It’s fine.”

Lin Xun shook his head with a smile.

“Everything Miss Wangxing guessed is correct. My wife is indeed a Mortal. To tell you the truth, the woman Miss Wangxing met in Luo City was actually me in disguise.”

“As I thought.” Wang Xing lowered her eyes, a gentle smile on her lips.

Although Wang Xing still felt a bit sour in her heart and was somewhat surprised that Lin Xun would love a Mortal…

She didn’t look down on Mortals at all. On the contrary, she felt a faint envy in her heart.

She envied that girl for being able to stay by Young Master Lin’s side when he was injured, to live together, and for feelings to grow between them.

The girl even had some fantasies.

If, if Young Master Lin had met her back then, would the ending have been different?

But Wang Xing quickly dismissed this thought.

She knew she couldn’t think like that; it was disrespectful to Young Master Lin’s wife.

“Her name is Jiang Qing.”

Seeing Wang Xing’s lowered eyes and the heartbreakingly considerate smile on her sickly pale face, Lin Xun felt guilty once again.

Lin Xun didn’t want to hide anything from this girl anymore. No matter what, she was his fiancée, and she had the right to know.

Hearing Lin Xun speak, Wang Xing also raised her head, her Star Eyes filled with surprise. She hadn’t expected Young Master Lin to tell her this.

But…

Jiang Qing.

Why did she feel like this name… sounded slightly familiar?
