37: Jiang Lin, what are you doing?

Zhang Wenyuan’s Face was ashen as he looked at Yun’er on the ground.

“Did Jiang Lin really say he was annoyed with Wanmeng and didn’t want to see her again?”

Yun’er quickly replied, “Yes…yes, Young Master Jiang said that!”

Zhang Wenyuan gritted his teeth, “Where is he?”

“He already left, saying he was going to the Black Yuan Forest to carry out a Dao Child mission!”

Zhang Wenyuan slapped the table and turned to Zhang Wanmeng, “What exactly happened?”

“Didn’t he stand up for you just yesterday?”

Zhang Wanmeng looked at the sealed box in her hand. Although she didn’t know what it was, she felt an inexplicable stirring in her heart.

Is it related to the Qin Dao?

Before they parted, he said he would help me, and he found something overnight?

He wasn't just saying it casually?

However, the Nine Heavens Rainbow Phoenix Heart is a supreme Dao Foundation; external objects don't have much effect.

Shouldn't he be waiting for me to be completely at my wit's end, to devour me whole?

Now, why is he helping me?

“Wanmeng, I’m talking to you!”

Zhang Wanmeng came back to her senses and perfunctorily replied, “Mm, got it!”

Zhang Wenyuan waved his sleeve, “Hmph, I don’t care what method you use, you must fix your relationship with Jiang Lin. Your current priority is to become the Jiang Family’s Young Mistress!”

“Next month, I will invite Jiang Lin to the Family banquet and announce your engagement!”

“Don’t make me take action to do some things, otherwise, it won won’t be this simple!”

After speaking, he directly walked out of the Qin Pavilion.

Zhang Wanmeng’s mother patted her hand, sighed deeply, and followed Zhang Wenyuan out with a worried expression.

“Xiao Yun, get up!”

Xiao Yun was full of questions, wondering, “Young Miss, why didn’t you explain the whole story to Revered Master? It was Jiang Lin’s fault to begin with…”

Zhang Wanmeng shook her head, “It’s not important. I already know Father’s attitude; an explanation would only lead to the same result.”

“Hmph, that Jiang Lin is even more outrageous. He actually took a concubine! He was still trying to please Young Miss yesterday. He’s truly hypocritical; I was almost fooled!”

Zhang Wanmeng smiled and replied, “Jiang Lin isn’t that simple. What he does definitely has deep meaning! And, it’s just a concubine… However, the one truly upset now is Liu Yan’er; they have an engagement!”

Xiao Yun was completely bewildered.

“Ah? Young Miss, didn’t you say yesterday that you liked Young Master Jiang?”

Zhang Wanmeng shook her head, “Silly girl, can’t you tell it was just a pretense?”

“Ah! You two were so intimate yesterday, and it was fake!”

Zhang Wanmeng laughed, “Yun’er, I approached Jiang Lin for Revered Master and the Zhang Family’s situation. And Jiang Lin is a millennium-old fox, extremely good at disguising himself. His actions towards me are also for the Zhang Family and the Qin Sect. If you believe his words, you’d be helping him count money even after being sold!”

Xiao Yun frowned tightly, “But, he also stood up and killed that hateful assassin…”

Zhang Wanmeng replied, “That involved his Face. If the person he had pursued for so long was seriously injured by his side and he didn’t act, who would be willing to follow him in the future!”

Xiao Yun exclaimed, “Ah, so that’s how it is! But no matter what, according to Revered Master’s wishes, Young Miss can only marry Jiang Lin from now on. You must control him and not let him take concubines so freely!”

Zhang Wanmeng blinked her bright eyes, puzzled, “What does that have to do with me? That’s his life.

My marriage to him is a bond of interest, and he has his life; I want to play my Qin!”

Xiao Yun slapped her forehead. Her Young Miss was foolish, foolish from playing the Qin.

What kind of thought process is this!

Beyond saving!

Click!

A crack appeared in the box, and an incredibly pure Divine Thought floated towards Zhang Wanmeng.

“Nine…Nine Heavens Rainbow Phoenix Qin Heart!”

Zhang Wanmeng instantly closed the lid, and it took her a long while to recover from the shock.

“Young Miss, is it the highest Qin Dao Legacy, the Nine Heavens Rainbow Phoenix Heart Legacy?”

Xiao Yun directly jumped up, excitedly asking.

Zhang Wanmeng took a deep breath, “Yes, and it’s the best of the Nine Heavens Rainbow Phoenix Heart, the Nine Heavens Rainbow Phoenix Qin Heart!”

Xiao Yun said, “That’s great! With this Nine Heavens Rainbow Phoenix Heart, Young Miss won’t lose her cultivation, won’t be scolded by Revered Master, and won’t have her Dao Child position taken away!”

“No wonder Jiang Lin wanted to be promoted to Dao Child earlier. So he was going to help Young Miss obtain the Nine Heavens Rainbow Phoenix Heart!”

“It seems Jiang Lin isn’t as Young Miss said; he’s sincere towards you!”

Zhang Wanmeng was stunned, wondering, “Isn’t his promotion to Dao Child ten days from now? He moved it up?”

Xiao Yun excitedly said, “Yes, it’s today! Young Miss was just recovering from her injuries, so the Qin Sect’s news wasn’t sent to you…

It’s said that he asked Qingling Imperial Concubine and spent a large sum of money to move the promotion ceremony up by ten days.

The ceremony was held very hastily, and it has already spread throughout the Great Xia, saying that Young Master Jiang Lin acts overbearingly and plays with the rules of the Dao Sect…

It turns out he was thinking of Young Miss, and it was for this Nine Heavens Rainbow Phoenix Heart!

That’s great! Ten days earlier, Young Miss’s cultivation won’t collapse!”

It seems… there’s only this one reason!

Extreme confusion appeared in Zhang Wanmeng’s eyes.

She couldn’t think of any other reason that would make Jiang Lin spend such a huge price to move the ceremony up by ten days.

The only explanation is that it was for this Nine Heavens Rainbow Phoenix Heart, to prevent her own strength from collapsing!

For her, he paid a great price, was misunderstood by everyone, and even gave up the Dao Artifact he deserved!

That shouldn’t be!

Shouldn’t he be letting her collapse, be at her wit’s end, and have no choice but to rely on him?

What is he doing?

Why would he do this?

Could it be that he truly loves her?

Zhang Wanmeng looked in the direction of the Jiang Family, her eyes hazy and bewildered.

Since childhood, Destroying Affection Supreme had led her down the path of ruthlessness.

She never believed in true love!

She always believed that love was merely an excuse for the weak to seek companionship, or for those decadent individuals controlled by carnal desires.

At this moment, she was truly confused!

Jiang Lin, what exactly do you mean?

“Young Miss, I’ll go tell Revered Master right away. There’s no need to find Qingling Imperial Concubine…”

Zhang Wanmeng directly interrupted, “It won’t happen. He will know this news very soon, and he will still send me over, even sacrificing the Qin Sect’s interests to gain the Jiang Family’s support. The Zhang Family has reached its most dangerous moment!”

“Ah, in that case, Young Miss will be very passive entering the Jiang Family!” Xiao Yun said anxiously.

Zhang Wanmeng suddenly laughed, as if she had figured something out.

“Does it matter?”

“What Jiang Lin wants is nothing more than me, the Qin Sect, and the Zhang Family!”

“What I care about is only the Qin Dao!”

“But he has already sacrificed three years for me, and even gave up his Dao Artifact, choosing this Nine Heavens Rainbow Phoenix Heart for me!”

“So, in return, I will play a Qin piece for him every day, and within my capabilities, satisfy all his needs!”

“Coincidentally, I’m going to find him now; Revered Master’s nirvana pill still depends on him!”

Xiao Yun’s eyes were full of helplessness. Young Miss’s thought process was truly unfathomable!

If someone were to do that for me, I’d probably die of happiness directly!

“Young Miss, Young Master Jiang Lin has already set off for the Black Yuan Forest!”

“He really left?”

“It seems he ran into Young Lord Xiao Dong of the Xiao Family at our mansion gate. He didn’t even greet him and directly activated the Immortal Feather Crane, flying towards the teleportation array!”

“Sigh, alright then. I’ll absorb the Nine Heavens Rainbow Phoenix Heart first and stabilize my cultivation. I can just go study that piece, ‘Phoenix Comes to Court,’ and play it for him when I return.”
