198. Master, It’s Divine Enlightenment! (4 more updates)
Lin Nuo was really angry, he could only drink some tea to calm down.
What’s all this about?
“I heard you live here, not bad, this inn has a great environment, I’m thinking of moving in too.”
“Forget it, how could a lady like you get used to living here.”
“How do you know I can’t get used to it? How about I live with you? Then at night, I can watch you remove your makeup and see your true face?”
“I’m not that kind of person.”
Lin Nuo, with his ironclad integrity, refused Qin Shili’s cohabitation request.
Just dealing with Ling Meng was exhausting enough, let alone adding Qin Shili to the mix. Not to mention whether they could get along, just handling them was annoying enough.
I still vividly remember the Lingquan explosion incident from back then, and they were still two opposing forces, positive and negative. Once they start clashing, I bet they’ll make the headlines again tomorrow.
Lin Nuo quickly changed the subject:
“What did you guys talk about with the sorcerer last time?”
“Nothing much, just speculating about your actions. They don’t understand you, not knowing you like to use aliases and fake identities. Of course, I didn’t tell them either. They think if you were to take action, those two wouldn’t be injured, but I know you. You definitely used dark magic to kill Cang Zhao, to keep outsiders from knowing, waiting for them to be defeated and unconscious before you strike. Even though they’re seriously injured, they’re not in life-threatening danger. On the contrary, they recover quickly, and that must also be your doing, preserving their lives.”
“???”
Am I that powerful?
No, it’s because they have a strong constitution that they recover quickly, which is common sense, not my doing. If I had that ability, would I still need to take an apprentice to restrain Su Kexin?
So, they think I’m incredibly powerful, and it’s all thanks to you?
I should thank you then.
“Is my speculation correct?” Qin Shili sipped her tea and asked.
Yes, you’re right, you understand me even better than I do.
“As long as you’re happy.”
Lin Nuo couldn’t be bothered to argue, such things only get murkier the more you talk about them. Who knows what version she’ll come up with after listening.
Rumors are truly terrifying, as are the thought processes of these women.
Lin Nuo nibbled on some pastries and drank some tea, feeling quite good.
Qin Shili continued to ask, “When do you plan to go back?”
“Go back where?”
“To Tianling Mountain.”
“What?”
“Alright, let me change the question. When do you plan to leave here?”
“Is it important?”
“It’s important,” Qin Shili said earnestly.
“In the next few days.”
Lin Nuo put down his teacup and replied, “I won’t stay long.”
“That’s true, after all, the matters of Zhouling City have been resolved, and the altar has been protected. And you should be looking for the next place to spread your principles and ideals,” Qin Shili said.
“…”
Why does it sound like I’m going around causing trouble and spreading justice?
Do you think I want to? What nonsense justice, I’m the big villain, alright.
“Is that girl going with you?”
“Don’t worry about her, she has her own destination.”
Lin Nuo sipped another cup of tea, nibbled on a pork floss bun, and gazed out the window. This city was meant to fall, destined to become a desert sea, but now, by some twist of fate, it has been saved.
You should know that Cang Zhao intended to destroy the Three-Day Stone; I couldn’t be bothered to go there myself. Just knocking Su Kexin unconscious would do, no need to go through the trouble of destroying the Three-Day Stone.
I thought I was the chosen one this time, only to realize the clown was me all along.
This is just too hard.
Qin Shili kept her eyes fixed on Lin Nuo, completely disregarding the makeup on his face. To her, he was the fair-skinned young master from Tianling Mountain’s Xuan Yun Sect.
It wasn’t in vain that I traveled over mountains and rivers to come here. To be able to sit with him in a private room and taste tea among the common folk, it’s quite nice.
If we could share a room, that would be even better.
Lin Nuo’s gaze shifted from the window back to the room, locking eyes with Qin Shili in an instant.
There was a time when I so wished to face off with the aloof and stunning Qin Shili in a private room, savoring tea, listening to the zither, reciting poetry, a refined interaction of a gentleman and a beauty, a dreamlike yearning.
But now.
From noble mtl dot come
What gentleman? I’ve become the big villain, no more gentlemanly ways, not even listening to the zither anymore, it’s too noisy.
“You truly are an extraordinary person.”
Looking at Lin Nuo’s face, Qin Shili showed a rare smile, “You’ve embodied the concept of being in the blue sky, yearning for the abyss, to perfection. It’s a pity I can still grasp the essence. We’ve both made our marks time and again, yet the distance between you and me keeps growing.”
“What are you talking about?”
What’s with this Qin, feeling down before midnight?
No, wait, this blue sky and abyss, why does it sound so familiar?
It seems I’ve seen it somewhere.
“Meow~”
Suddenly, a plump white cat jumped onto the window sill, licking the corner of its mouth.
Lin Nuo seemed to remember something.
Hmm? That’s the cat that can speak human language, and the little note in the book.
The bookshelf, right, “One Hundred Years of Solitude.”
Could it be her?
But even if it is her, what does it have to do with me, Lin someone?
Definitely feeling down.
“You know,” Qin Shili said.
“I don’t know.”
“Then let’s leave it at that. Anyway, I can’t possibly make you say it outright. The benefit of being with you is that I’ve started to learn to guess others’ intentions. If I can see through your intentions, then it’s easy to see through everyone else’s.”
“…”
So this is the ability to guess intentions you’ve honed? Pushing me straight into the pit of a great hero?
Well, if the world were full of people like you, it would probably be doomed.
Lin Nuo chatted with Qin Shili for a while, and it was time to go back to find his disciple.
“I’ll be returning to Tianling Mountain soon, I hope to see you then.”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
Lin Nuo opened the carriage door, stepped onto the wooden stairs of the pavilion, and went back to his room.
Qin Shili also picked up her sword and left the inn with light steps.
…
Lin Nuo opened the door to his room, where Ling Meng was sitting cross-legged on the bed practicing her qi. Seeing Lin Nuo return, she quickly stopped and got off the bed.
“Master, Master, you’re back.”
“No, the one entering the room isn’t your master.”
“Ah, Master, what’s wrong? Did someone make you angry?”
“No, stop practicing and eat something.”
Lin Nuo placed the food he bought on the table, and the aroma of the delicious food wafted towards Ling Meng.
Such fragrant large wontons, Master has always remembered my taste.
“Master, Master, I have good news! My spiritual qi and power have both strengthened, and I’ve even grasped the technique I couldn’t understand before. It’s so sudden, just these past few days it’s been rising. Master, could this be divine enlightenment?”
Ling Meng said excitedly, feeling this for the first time.
Lin Nuo: “……”
That’s not divine enlightenment, that’s a nerve enlightenment.
Well, I’m the one who’s nerve-enlightened.
Lin Nuo really wanted to slap himself.
This crow’s mouth, whatever he says comes true.
Yet he still said earnestly:
“Yes, divine enlightenment, you’ve triggered it. Not bad, it seems you’ve taken the first step, keep it up.”
