Chapter 492: I Have Something I Want to Say to Miss Jiang

Eh?

Does Husband… know my true identity?

How can this be?

What should I do now?

I haven’t figured out how to face Husband yet…

“Master… Husband… how did he find out?”

Jiang Qingshang asked nervously.

“What was Husband’s reaction after he found out? Did he blame me? Was he angry?”

On the other side, Jiang Yuerou couldn’t help but sigh seeing her Disciple so nervous.

“Don’t worry.

Although I don’t know exactly when Lin Xun found out about your true identity,

he seemed very calm and didn’t have the slightest intention of blaming you.

In fact, he was even worried that you would blame him.

That’s why he was so nervous all the way here.”

After saying that, Jiang Yuerou stood up, walked over to Jiang Qingshang, and gently stroked her Disciple’s long hair.

“Qingshang, I’ve said everything that needs to be said.

What you do next is entirely up to you.

Although Lin Xun is a Disciple of a Demonic Sect, his character is actually quite decent.

In the beginning, I would have definitely opposed you being with him.

But now, the rice is cooked; it’s too late for anything else, and there’s no other way.

However, there’s one thing you must think through clearly.

Our Zilin Holy Land is, after all, an Orthodox Sect.

Whereas Ten Thousand Demon is ultimately a Demonic Sect.

The enemies of the Ten Thousand Demon Sect aren’t just our Zilin Holy Land; they have grudges with countless people throughout the world.

Especially that fellow Lin Xun.

Over ten years ago, he began making enemies of various Sects across the world.

Especially during that last time in the Rootless Secret Realm.

Lin Xun offended every single Sect.

If others find out you are with Lin Xun, it will be a massive shock to the entire world.

Your reputation will suffer tremendously.

You might even end up becoming an enemy of the whole world.

Qingshang, are you truly prepared for this?”

Hearing her Master’s words, Jiang Qingshang smiled and shook her head.

“Master, there’s a saying in the Mortal World: ‘If you marry a chicken, follow the chicken; if you marry a dog, follow the dog.’

Even though I didn’t know Husband’s identity,

I have already married him regardless.

Husband truly loves me, and I truly love him.

No matter what difficulties we face in the future, no matter what happens, I will stand by Husband’s side without question.

So, if the day comes when Husband truly becomes an enemy of the world, then the world shall be my enemy as well.

But please rest assured, Master. If that day really comes, I will certainly not drag down the Zilin Holy Land.

At that time, I will definitely sever ties with the Zilin Holy Land and won’t make things difficult for you.”

“You silly Disciple…”

Jiang Yuerou sighed heavily and pulled Jiang Qingshang into her embrace.

“What is so good about that Lin Xun? How could he possibly be worth you doing all this for him?”

…In Yaya’s bedchamber.

Lin Xun funneled a wisp of spiritual power into Yaya’s Sea of Consciousness.

Soon, Yaya fell asleep.

Immediately after, Lin Xun separated a wisp of Divine Sense and entered Yaya’s body.

He investigated the current situation inside Yaya’s body.

After a short while, Lin Xun’s brow furrowed slightly.

Lin Xun perceived that the Seal inside Yaya had loosened by more than just a little.

In fact, after this loosening, the Seal in Yaya’s body was disintegrating faster and faster.

It was like a dam where ants had first dug a small hole.

Then, under the impact of a flood, the hole grew larger and larger.

And the dam would be destroyed faster and faster.

According to Lin Xun’s calculations, it would take five years at most.

By then, the Seal within Yaya would be completely undone.

At that time, Yaya would no longer be Yaya.

Instead, she would be the Eldest Princess of the Demon Race World—Chu Jiutao!

Lin Xun didn’t know whether it was good or bad for Yaya to regain her original memories.

In Lin Xun’s view, if Yaya could live her whole life being so dazed and cute, that would also be a good thing.

After all, a carefree life was the most beautiful thing in Lin Xun’s eyes.

But thinking about it from another perspective…

Right now, Chu Yaoyao was still engaged in various struggles within the Ten Thousand Demon Country.

Yaya knew nothing about it; she might not even know if something happened to Chu Yaoyao.

Was this truly a good thing for Yaya?

Furthermore, did Chu Jiutao really, truly want to spend her life like this?

Did she truly have nothing she wanted to do?

Was this truly her original intention?

Lin Xun hoped Yaya would always be Yaya.

But Yaya wasn’t just Yaya; she was also Chu Jiutao.

“Xiao Xun, regarding Yaya and the Seal in her body…”

Seeing Lin Xun open his eyes, Xia Xiaomeng asked with some concern.

Through all their time together, Lin Xun had completely come to view Yaya as his own sister.

He naturally didn’t want anything to happen to her.

As for whether Yaya was the Eldest Princess of the Demon Race World, he didn’t care at all.

All he cared about was that Yaya could be happy and joyful by his side.

“The Seal in Yaya’s body has already loosened, and it will loosen faster and faster in the future…”

Lin Xun shook his head.

“And this Sealing Technique is unique to the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox Clan.

If we want to reinforce the Seal, we must take Yaya to the Demon Race World to find Chu Yaoyao.”

“Sigh, Xiao Xun, are you going to take Yaya away again?”

Xia Xiaomeng was extremely reluctant, but she also knew this was unavoidable.

Lin Xun sighed. “I’m afraid things aren’t that simple.

I’ve learned about this Secret Technique from Chu Yaoyao before.

This Secret Technique can only be cast once.

Honestly, even if I bring Yaya to Chu Yaoyao, I’m not sure if she’ll have a solution.

The Seal is actually very ingenious.

Unless Yaya suffers an extreme shock, the Seal shouldn’t loosen regardless of how high her Realm becomes.”

“Then why…”

Xia Xiaomeng looked nervously at Yaya lying on the bed.

“I think it’s because in Yaya’s subconscious, Chu Jiutao wants to come out far too much.

In Chu Jiutao’s heart, there must be many things left unfinished.

No matter what,

this has already happened.

All I can do is try my best to slow down the collapse of the Seal in Yaya’s body.

But as for the final outcome…”

Lin Xun shook his head and didn’t continue.

But even though Lin Xun didn’t finish, Xia Xiaomeng knew what he meant.

“In the end, once Yaya regains all her memories, will she be Yaya or Chu Jiutao?”

Xia Xiaomeng couldn’t help but sigh.

Lin Xun gently stroked Yaya’s small face. “Regardless of the final outcome, whether she’s Yaya or Chu Jiutao, she’s still Yaya.”

“Let’s stop here for today. Sister Xiaomeng, you should go handle your government affairs.

I’ll try to maintain the Seal for Yaya; this might take quite a while.

There’s not much point in you staying here; you won’t be able to handle government matters well, and it would just be a waste of time.”

“Alright then. In any case, Xiao Xun, if you need anything, just come to me.”

“Mhm.”

Lin Xun nodded.

After Xia Xiaomeng left, Lin Xun conditioned Yaya’s body.

Then, Lin Xun analyzed the Seal inside Yaya.

Although this process was quite difficult for Lin Xun,

and could be said to treat the symptoms rather than the root cause,

it was still of some use regardless.

Half an hour later, Lin Xun withdrew his Divine Sense from Yaya’s body and slowly exhaled.

On the bed, Yaya also slowly opened her eyes.

“Brother Lin…”

Yaya sat up from the bed, her eyes blinking as she looked at Lin Xun.

“Brother, is Yaya sick?”

Yaya asked curiously.

Actually, just a moment ago when Lin Xun made her fall asleep, Yaya knew she might be sick.

And that Brother Lin was going to treat her.

“No, Yaya isn’t sick. Yaya’s body is doing great.”

Lin Xun smiled and patted Yaya’s head.

“Come on, Brother will take Yaya out to play.”

“Mm-hm.”

Yaya nodded happily.

“Yaya hasn’t gone out to play with Brother Lin in a long time. Yaya wants to go out and play with Brother Lin.”

From afternoon until evening, Lin Xun accompanied Yaya as they played all over the palace.

Some of the palace maids who saw Lin Xun beside Yaya were momentarily stunned, then bowed and said ‘Mr. Lin’ to show their respect.

Lin Xun’s official position was originally the Attendant Official of the Qian Kingdom’s palace.

He had even stayed in the Qian Kingdom’s palace for a period of time.

Therefore, the palace maids were not unfamiliar with Lin Xun.

Furthermore, while in the palace, Lin Xun had always conducted himself properly and never had any scandalous entanglements with any of the maids.

Based on this alone, Lin Xun had earned the respect of many.

However, the female Cultivators from the Zilin Holy Land were somewhat curious about Lin Xun’s identity.

Because previously, men were not allowed into the Qian Kingdom’s inner palace.

Even if this Lin Xun was from the Zilin Holy Land, he shouldn’t have been allowed into the Qian Kingdom’s palace.

Otherwise, this Lin Pei would have been invited a year ago.

But now, this Lin Pei was actually carrying Yaya and swaggering through the palace; what kind of relationship did he have with the Ruler of the Qian Kingdom?

“Young Master Lin, Princess Yaya, Her Majesty has asked me to take you both to dinner.”

Just as Yaya, having played all afternoon, was so tired she was leaning on Lin Xun’s shoulder about to fall asleep, a maid walked over and bowed to Lin Xun.

Left with no choice, Lin Xun could only pinch Yaya’s small face before carrying her to the main hall to eat with Xiaomeng and the others.

In the dining hall, it wasn’t just Xia Xiaomeng; Jiang Yuerou, Jiang Qingshang, and Xia Xiaomeng’s Master, Le Sha, were also there.

Lin Xun was the only man at the entire table.

And for some reason, Lin Xun felt the atmosphere was somewhat awkward.

“Since everyone is here, let’s begin the meal.”

Xia Xiaomeng clapped her hands, then reached out with her chopsticks to place a piece of fish in Lin Xun’s bowl.

Seeing Xia Xiaomeng pampering Lin Xun like this, Jiang Yuerou was momentarily stunned, then turned to look at her Disciple.

However, Jiang Qingshang acted as if she hadn’t seen anything, merely eating in small bites.

Yet, Jiang Qingshang’s eyes would occasionally glance at her sister and her husband.

As for Le Sha…

Le Sha acted as if nothing was happening, silently eating in small bites on the side.

In any case, for now…

Xiaomeng was already in the Middle Stage of the Nascent Soul Realm, her Realm was stable, and her Immortal Emperor Body had already been exposed anyway.

It didn’t matter how Xiaomeng acted now.

As for the two sisters competing for this man, let them fight for him.

Regardless of the outcome, it would be what it would be.

She just wondered what Lin Xun had saved in his previous life to have such good fortune in this one.

After the meal was finished…

Originally, Xia Xiaomeng wanted to go for another stroll through the palace with Lin Xun.

But because Xia Xiaomeng hadn’t cultivated at all today,

she was dragged away by Le Sha.

As for Yaya, having eaten and drunk her fill, she began to doze off carefreely.

Jiang Yuerou carried Yaya back to her own bedchamber.

All of a sudden, only Qingshang and Lin Xun were left in the main hall.

The atmosphere in the hall couldn’t help but become subtle.

However, Lin Xun didn’t send Jiang Qingshang away, nor did he leave himself.

“I wonder if Young Master Lin is free right now?”

Finally, in the silent hall, Jiang Qingshang spoke first.

“I am.”

Lin Xun replied immediately, appearing somewhat nervous.

“In that case, I wonder if Young Master Lin would be willing to take a casual stroll with me through the palace.”

Jiang Qingshang suggested.

But her gaze wavered slightly, as she didn’t dare look Lin Xun directly in the eye.

“Alright, after you, Miss Jiang.”

“After you, Young Master Lin…”

Lin Xun and Jiang Qingshang walked one after the other along the palace streets.

As night had fallen, most of the palace maids had already retired for the evening.

Some maids were hanging out together in this small palace town.

Others were secretly sipping on some wine.

All in all…

although this palace was a ‘kingdom of women,’ it was extremely lively.

And because of the absence of men, the maids seemed all the more uninhibited.

Lin Xun and Jiang Qingshang walked side by side.

They didn’t say a word; the atmosphere between them was incredibly subtle.

Lin Xun didn’t know if Jiang Yuerou had told Qinger about his identity.

But judging from her manner, it seemed Qinger already knew.

Even if she didn’t, he couldn’t keep hiding it any longer.

Taking the initiative to tell her might give him some control over the situation.

He might as well take this opportunity to directly reveal his identity to Qinger.

“Miss Jiang…”

Lin Xun took a deep breath and finally made up his mind, speaking up.

“Actually, I have something I want to say to Miss Jiang…”
