140: Zhang Wanmeng's Loss

"Aren't you going to sleep a little longer before you leave?"

Jiang Lin's voice was gentle, making Han Qian feel a little lost.

She was already having trouble distinguishing Jiang Lin's face.

Originally, her heart held only boundless resentment towards Jiang Lin.

But Jiang Lin's inexplicable actions that night left only deep infatuation and perplexing confusion in her heart.

She felt she couldn't stay any longer.

She found that the infatuation in her heart was starting to outweigh the hatred!

How could this be?

He was her brother's killer, the one who defiled her!

"Someone is looking for you, they've been waiting outside for a long time!"

"I won't delay you!"

The cold words that were about to come out of her mouth were forcefully changed by Han Qian into this explanation, which seemed to still hold lingering affection.

Jiang Lin smiled and said, "Tonight, I want to try a different flavor..."

Han Qian's body trembled, she bit her lip, and quickly refused, "You... you're dreaming, I won't come again!"

"You... you promised me..."

Her voice was already tinged with a sob, making one feel pity.

Jiang Lin stroked her head and said gently, "Don't worry, I will release both people and things. Whether you come or not is your own choice!"

Han Qian was stunned. After struggling to put on her clothes, she finally said aloud, "I can't possibly come again. If I have a chance, I will definitely kill you and avenge my brother!"

Jiang Lin didn't speak, he just smiled and silently watched her leave.

The next moment,

The door rang.

"Young Master Jiang, you are truly despicable and shameless, coercing someone's family and even drugging them!"

With a clear and pleasant voice, Jiang Lin looked at the newcomer.

Dressed in a pristine white robe, she was as graceful as a startled swan.

Unlike their first meeting, the Young Miss's originally stunning beauty was no longer cold and arrogant, but rather showed a hint of weariness.

"Miss Zhang, what you see with your eyes is not necessarily true!"

"If you keep talking like that, I'll have to accuse you of slander!"

Jiang Lin walked to the window, True Qi circulating, and a pot of fresh tea was brewed in an instant.

"Come, have some tea!"

Zhang Wanmeng shook her head, saying with a hint of caution, "Young Master Jiang's tea, I dare not drink!"

Jiang Lin directly drank a cup of tea, smiling, "My Poison path methods are myriad. If I want to poison you, you can't escape!"

"My lifelong favorite is to taste tea, how could I poison the tea and defile my own hobby!"

Zhang Wanmeng's face showed surprise.

Indeed, Jiang Lin's Poison path attainments had already reached the pinnacle, there was no need to add anything to the tea to poison the other party.

"So that means that girl's madness was entirely her own true feelings?"

In the backyard, within the bamboo grove,

Han Qian's cheeks turned crimson, wishing she could bury her head in the ground.

She was just curious.

Why was the renowned Qin Sect's chief Disciple, Zhang Wanmeng, looking for Jiang Lin?

So out of curiosity, she eavesdropped for a while.

She didn't expect to hear about her own disgrace!

"That still doesn't explain you using her family's lives to threaten her and take her innocence!"

Facing Zhang Wanmeng's questioning, Jiang Lin chuckled, "That's because I fell in love with her!"

"The first time I saw her, my heart was deeply drawn to her!"

"So, I must have her!"

Zhang Wanmeng unceremoniously exposed him, "I heard that the methods you used against the Han Family in the Demon Suppression Division were quite ruthless!"

"And you also killed her brother, do you think there's still a possibility between you two?"

Jiang Lin replied, "You only heard about it. The truth of the matter will slowly be revealed!"

"As for Han Meng's matter, it was the Sima Family who killed him. If I had met Han Qian earlier, I would have spared Han Meng's life!"

"Things didn't go as planned, so this was the only way I could get her faster!"

Zhang Wanmeng frowned tightly, still somewhat disapproving, "But you shouldn't have chosen such extreme methods?"

Jiang Lin looked at Zhang Wanmeng with a half-smile, half-mockery, "Are you suggesting I pursue her like I pursued Miss Zhang three years ago?"

"Clinging on, endlessly giving!"

"The result was just being disliked by you!"

"Now, I have walked out of your shadow and fallen in love with another. This time, I will first use every means to obtain her, and then pamper her!"

Within the bamboo grove,

Han Qian looked at the pavilion where Jiang Lin was with complex emotions in her eyes.

Is that how it is?

No, I can't listen anymore!

I feel like my Dao Heart is having problems!

The next moment, she vanished directly, speeding towards the Han Family.

At this moment, Zhang Wanmeng felt an indescribable sadness in her heart.

She really wanted to say, you could have held on a little longer.

I had already seen your true feelings!

Just as she mustered the courage to say something, she heard Jiang Lin's voice.

"Miss Zhang, did you come here to question me about my private matters?"

Jiang Lin's slightly cold voice pierced Zhang Wanmeng's heart even more deeply.

"These past few days, I came to find you, why did you keep refusing to see me?"

Jiang Lin sighed, "Our story is over!"

"To be honest, over the past three years, I've also caused you quite a bit of trouble in your cultivation!"

"But that last 'Nine Heavens Rainbow Phoenix Qin Heart' should make up for it!"

"We are even!"

"As for the Qin Sect, it's false to say I had no thoughts, but now that I'm in charge of the Demon Suppression Division, with the Inner Cabinet's intelligence supporting me, its usefulness isn't very great anymore!"

"The Zhang Family has reached its end. I'm actually not interested in cleaning up your mess; I find it tiring!"

Jiang Lin's voice was like a sharp dagger, piercing Zhang Wanmeng's heart.

She felt so heartbroken, as if she had lost something most important.

She had clearly prepared herself to run towards him,

But why did he suddenly change?

Was it because of Han Qian's appearance?

An unprovoked jealousy welled up in her heart.

Speaking of which, the situation is getting worse and worse!

Jiang Zhiyi has stopped supplying her with life-extending pills.

Revered Master can't hold on without the life-extending pills!

The current trend means she absolutely can't wait until she accumulates 10,000 favorability points!

Furthermore, accumulating favorability points now is even harder than ascending to the heavens!

Suppressing her agitated emotions, she spoke her purpose, "Jiang Lin, let's cooperate!"

"You have offended the Sima Family in Black Yuan City, and my Qin Sect's enemy is also the Sima Family!"

"We can join forces to bring down the Sima Family!"

Jiang Lin picked up his teacup and said indifferently, "We are indeed natural allies!"

"But you and I both understand that the value of the Qin Sect doesn't match the compensation I would have to pay!"

"When it comes to business, my Jiang Family rarely makes a losing deal!"
