Fate Trading System – Chapter 84

Plan A

Gift of the Spring Breeze 18

Embarrassing

Celestials will place a part of their perception on their own statues in the human world; Yue Lao does this too, mainly focusing on a few places where incense offerings are relatively prosperous.

Humans doing things to the statue he cannot feel, but he can observe the situation in the human world and hear sounds through perception.

But today, he felt a weight on his shoulder, indicating that a non-human was leaning on his statue.

Yue Lao opened his perception and discovered it was the little demon tied with a red thread to that very terrifying female ghost, and he chose to ignore it.

He doesn’t want to have any relation with those two at all now.

Su Xin absorbed spiritual energy inside the Yue Lao Temple, looking at the human world’s fireworks, and when dusk was about to arrive, she left the Yue Lao Temple.

Despite the existence of the Yue Lao temple and Yue Lao himself, Su Xin still doesn’t quite believe in this kind of thing.

Marriage fate is heaven’s biggest destiny.

But she still feels, this follows herself.

Just like if she has no feelings for Ling Zhi, that red thread won’t tie on their hands.

What is love? Sometimes Su Xin also thinks about this. Her previous several lovers, whom she can’t remember too clearly, all said this sentence to her.

She doesn’t understand love at first sight, nor does she understand feelings growing over time, she only feels that staying by their side is so good, so happy, with nothing to worry about, quietly living the life she wants.

Ling Zhi came out, not acting like an old lecher today as she did yesterday. She brought Su Xin to sit on a tall tree, with a wide view, looking at the sky full of stars.

“What is it?”

Su Xin asked her.

“What’s wrong with you?”

“Nothing’s wrong.”

Su Xin is somewhat puzzled.

“You’re a little sad.”

“Am I?”

Su Xin didn’t know, she pointed at herself, a little confused.

Ling Zhi hugged her, very gently, very gently.

Su Xin didn’t feel she was sad, but when Ling Zhi hugged her, she suddenly felt sad.

“Sister.”

“Mm.”

“If one day… I…”

“Mm?”

Su Xin hugged Ling Zhi, not continuing to speak.

If one day I leave, don’t look for me.

Su Xin already felt, her own time wasn’t much left.

Although the system didn’t prompt or clearly say, how could it really let her wait a few years to do that important task? This would delay time too much.

Su Xin thought about that sentence but still didn’t say it out, too afraid, and also too cruel.

This was their first time on the rooftop, Ling Zhi saw the astonishing beauty of pear blossoms in full bloom, and also saw the delicate and weak appearance of the pear blossoms after being wet by dew.

The human world is truly of absolute beauty.

Ling Zhi always loved to fiddle with the red thread between them, and when she touched Su Xin’s finger along the red thread, she would always smile especially happily.

“Sister, I’ll take you to see my hometown, is that okay? It’s the place where I took root and sprouted.”

Demons can teleport a thousand miles, so returning home from here is not a difficult thing for her.

Take her home?

“Okay.”

Ling Zhi solemnly nodded and held Su Xin’s hand tightly.

In an instant, the scenery before the eyes changed appearance.

This place doesn’t have Jinling’s bustling, the surroundings are silent, only the sound of insects chirping can be heard.

The surrounding weeds have been cleared, cleared by the villagers.

They believe that in this unusual big tree lives a celestial, praying here will definitely bring good luck.

Of course, not many believe this, only the old people believe this. The young villagers don’t feel there’s anything inside the big tree, but to pick pears yearly and to date their liked girl here when pear blossoms bloom, they also very diligently come to protect this tree.

Su Xin let out a comfortable sigh; after all, here is her main body.

Ling Zhi caressed the tree trunk and, together with Su Xin, sat on the high branches.

They nestled together like this for one night, until the horizon was lit with the first light of dawn, and warmth illuminated this land.

Ling Zhi’s figure gradually disappeared; she kissed Su Xin’s forehead and entered into the bracelet on Su Xin’s wrist.

Su Xin returned to Jinling, first going invisibly to Lan Yue’s room.

Lan Yue’s room bed was neat and clean; she didn’t come back last night.

Although Su Xin said she’d follow Lan Yue, she must always first find where Lan Yue is.

Bored until the second day at noon, Su Xin finally saw Lan Yue’s trace.

Su Xin secretly followed Lan Yue, always beside her,

Lan Yue didn’t do much one afternoon, just played the qin at Wangjiang Tower above for an afternoon.

It sounded quite good, but Su Xin was thinking, don’t her fingers hurt playing so long?

In the afternoon, when following Lan Yue back, something happened in the mansion.

That middle-aged man died, died in his own room, killed by a single palm.

But unlike the three dead unarmed ordinary people, the middle-aged man clearly went through an obvious struggle, with the room’s furnishings toppled over.

The old man looked at the middle-aged man’s body and confirmed it was done by the same person.

The young man sat with crossed legs on the chair, staring at the corpse on the ground, not opening his mouth to speak.

“The assailant is too excessive, actually daring to openly commit a crime in my Lan mansion!”

Lan Yue waved her sleeve, looking very angry.

“In other words, that person hasn’t left, just staying in Jinling? This indeed isn’t good news.”

The young man put down his crossed legs and said somewhat excitedly, showing not a trace of sympathy for the local man’s death.

“I see the person behind the scenes already targeted us early on. I, an old man, am almost a handful of yellow earth, long since not caring about life and death. Since the person behind the scenes violates Jianghu morality, then even if I fight with these old bones, I will decide life and death with him.”

“Jianghu morality… yes… Jianghu morality.”

Lan Yue narrowed her eyes, her expression cold.

“Since he already attacked one, he certainly won’t stop. The next dangerous one is possibly you, you, or me. Each of us should pay a bit of attention.”

Lan Yue had people bury the middle-aged man, bury him well. After all, the incident happened with her here, and she didn’t know the middle-aged man’s other family identity, so just buried him like this.

Lan Yue’s brother’s first seven days had already passed, and when preparing for the burial, the coffin placed in the mourning hall actually disappeared overnight.

Lan Yue expressed great anger about this, smashing many things in the living room.

“I’ll certainly crush his bones and scatter the ashes.”

Lan Yue gritted her teeth, and Su Xin, not invisible, stood by her side, observing her reaction.

It looked like she wasn’t acting; Lan Yue was really very angry.

But why is Lan Yue so angry now? Clearly, when her brother died, she didn’t show such sadness, but now that her brother’s coffin has disappeared, with nothing to bury, Lan Yue’s appearance is like she wants to eat someone, with none of her previous unhurried and calm attitude.

Su Xin walked out, calculating the time, Qin Yi was probably about to return.

Qin Yi indeed returned that evening, and he heard about the two big things that happened during his absence, his expression becoming more complex.

“Young master, I also discovered some things…”

Su Xin told all she knew, including that the young man disguised himself to follow her, and that on the afternoon the middle-aged man’s incident happened, Lan Yue played the qin at Wangjiang Tower for an afternoon.

Qin Yi looked very tired; he rushed back covered in dust, as if he had gone to a very far, far place.

Qin Yi didn’t say anything, he just sat in the room using his finger to dip in tea water, continuously writing and drawing on the table, seeming to have a clue.

“Why…”

Qin Yi anxiously walked back and forth, somewhat unable to understand the connection.

Too much time has already passed, and the time given to him is also not long; those old past events have long since been hidden somewhere unknown, and turning over old accounts doesn’t bring them out.

Qin Yi came to the front of Lan Yue’s room.

He knocked on the door, stating his identity.

Lan Yue, rarely staying in her own room, opened the door for him.

“Young Master Qin, visiting late at night, is there an important matter?”

“I want to inquire about some things from you, miss.”

“Please enter, Lan Yue will certainly speak without reserve, exhaustively.”

Su Xin didn’t know why when she completed the task Qin Yi assigned to her, and then came here according to Qin Yi’s request, the scene turned into this appearance.

Su Xin came in invisibly, discovering the scene was already somewhat uncontrollable.

What’s this situation…

Clothes scattered on the ground, Lan Yue with a wanting-to-speak-yet-stopping expression, Qin Yi lying there, this appearance looked very adult content.

To go or to stay, this is a question.

She doesn’t want to stay here to see her father’s scene, but feels something isn’t right.

According to Qin Yi’s kind of personality, he clearly looked like he wanted to come here to discuss big matters, and moreover, he had said before that he should come over, so it’s not possible for this kind of rolling together thing to happen.

So Su Xin walked over, leaned in very close, observing Qin Yi’s expression.

Qin Yi indeed was forced.

His expression looked already not too clear, but still revealed a kind of resistance.

“Young Master Qin, you’re a smart person, but you shouldn’t have come.”

“I said before, you shouldn’t have come.”

Su Xin ran outside the door, confirmed no one was around, manifested her body, and started desperately knocking on the door.

“Young master, young master!”

Lan Yue’s action stopped, not intending to heed, as she was indeed very annoyed by this girl.

“Young master!”

Su Xin didn’t intend to give up; with no one responding to her, she just continuously knocked on the door with such force it seemed like she wanted to break it.

Lan Yue had no way, unwillingly gritted her teeth, wore clothes and got up, but deliberately wore them loosely, revealing a kind of unusual feeling.

This appearance, anyone with eyes can see.

But Su Xin pretended to be blind.

“Miss Lan, where’s my young master?”

Su Xin looked at Lan Yue, her expression anxious.

“Young Master Qin is currently enjoying the world’s utmost joy with me, it’s better for you not to disturb, otherwise your young master might get angry.”

“That won’t happen, my young master will only be angry with me, quickly let me see him!”

Su Xin, not reaching her goal, swore not to rest, just wanted to squeeze into the room.

Lan Yue made an eye expression towards behind Su Xin, Su Xin felt wind at her ear, her own neck was fiercely hit by someone once.

Lan Yue was somewhat dumbfounded, this…

Su Xin touched her neck, it wasn’t too painful.

This is just very embarrassing, not knocked out, right?

Su Xin already pushed Lan Yue away and saw Qin Yi with disheveled clothes on the bed.

“Girl, I said…”

Su Xin just didn’t care that much, directly princess-carried Qin Yi and ran off.

Father, I’ll take you flying!
