21: He looks like a dog.
Name: Lin Yi
Cultivation: Golden Core Realm, First Level
Special: Successor of the Medical Immortal, Divine Eye
Introduction: Born with a pair of Divine Eyes that can detect ailments in the human body and enhance focus and attention, he was noticed by the Medical Immortal, who took him as his direct disciple, inheriting the Thirteen Needles of the Ghost Gate and receiving the inherited magical treasure—the Ghost Gate Needle.
The Ghost Gate Needle and the Divine Eye, when combined, seemed like a natural pair, allowing Lin Yi’s cultivation to progress rapidly, but also creating the hidden danger of an unstable foundation. However, heaven always leaves a path, and Lin Yi’s destiny is connected to a Soul Nurturing Treasure Land. He can later use the treasure land to upgrade his Divine Eye to the Heavenly Meridian Divine Eye, solidifying his foundation.
As soon as Lin Yi appeared, Shen Qing had already cast an Investigation Technique on him, and also used a protagonist observation card.
Soul Nurturing Treasure Land?
Could it be the same Soul Nurturing Treasure Land as in the Azure Sun Pill Emperor’s final script?
If so, that would indeed be quite a coincidence.
This meant that if Shen Qing had spared the Azure Sun Pill Emperor’s remnant soul at that time, then the Azure Sun Pill Emperor’s remnant soul and Lin Yi would have competed for the Soul Nurturing Treasure Land.
At the same time, this also meant that the Soul Nurturing Treasure Land was most likely near Yongning Prefecture.
Jiang Wanqing apologized, “You must be laughing at me.”
“Laughing at what? He is him, and you are you,” Shen Qing waved his hand.
“It’s a pity, it’s getting late. We can only talk tomorrow,” Jiang Wanqing said with some regret.
The Jiang Family established itself in Yongning Prefecture through medical skills. She had been exposed to these things since childhood, which is why she became a disciple of the Medical Immortal.
It was a pity she only learned a portion of his abilities.
Shen Qing’s knowledge reserve seemed even more formidable and extensive than her master, the one who called himself the Medical Immortal.
The key was that he also had considerable insight into alchemy.
During their conversation today, Shen Qing could always clarify her doubts with a few words, and coupled with Ning Zhenzhen’s constant praise of her Senior Brother in front of her.
Today, with Lin Yi as a comparison, it further highlighted Shen Qing’s good qualities.
She genuinely felt comfortable being with Shen Qing, but unfortunately, he was a guest and couldn’t stay here indefinitely.
Shen Qing had originally planned to go and tell Ning Zhenzhen something, but through the protagonist observation card, he noticed that Lin Yi, who was in his room, had other intentions.
The other party seemed to think that Jiang Wanqing was his Senior Sister and the person in charge of the Jiang Family, so he would most likely go find her later.
Or if she didn’t see him, he would go find Jiang Wanqing.
He had a good idea, a man and a woman alone. Coincidentally, Shen Qing had the same idea.
If Lin Yi went to look for Jiang Wanqing tonight but couldn’t find her anywhere, only to discover she was with him.
Thinking of this scene, Shen Qing showed a mischievous smile.
“Why don’t we discuss it in my room tonight?” Shen Qing suggested.
Jiang Wanqing hesitated, “This…”
They had only known each other for the first day; it wouldn’t be quite appropriate, would it?
Shen Qing then said, “If you’re worried about it being inappropriate for a man and a woman alone, you can also call Zhenzhen.”
“Alright then…” Jiang Wanqing nodded.
Ning Zhenzhen pouted.
She felt a bit superfluous.
Soon, it was night.
Lin Yi felt restless in his room.
He wanted to ask Jiang Wanqing to accompany him to break off the engagement tomorrow, not only to show his Senior Sister his determination to break the engagement but also to increase the time they spent alone together.
But his Senior Sister never came to find him. Didn’t she feel any curiosity about his engagements?
He thought that if the Old Man had left engagements for the three Senior Sisters, he would definitely inquire about it thoroughly, but Third Senior Sister seemed completely indifferent.
On second thought, as a girl, Third Senior Sister might be too embarrassed to ask.
“Alright, then I’ll go find Senior Sister!”
After making up his mind, Lin Yi immediately went out.
Although his room was a bit out of the way, Lin Yi had secretly memorized the location of Jiang Wanqing’s room earlier, and now he followed his memory.
Soon, he arrived at the location. Lin Yi raised his hand and knocked on the door, “Senior Sister, it’s been a while. I wonder if you’ve missed me. Your Junior Brother has only been with the Old Man on the mountain, and I can’t tell you how difficult it’s been.”
“Senior Sister, can we catch up?”
Lin Yi put all his flirting skills, honed from teasing Xiao Hua in the village, into practice, but found no movement inside for a long time.
“Not here?”
Where could Senior Sister be this late at night?
Lin Yi was a bit stunned, but then he noticed figures moving behind the window nearby. He pressed his ear against it, and Jiang Wanqing’s laughter came from inside.
Jiang Wanqing had never laughed like that with him.
And… and the voice of that man who was with Ning Zhenzhen today!
Boom!
Lin Yi felt as if struck by lightning. He didn’t care about anything else and quickly knocked on the door, shouting, “Senior Sister!”
“It’s me, Lin Yi!”
The door opened from inside, and Shen Qing chuckled, “Are you looking for Wanqing for something?”
Boom!
Another bolt from the blue.
Wanqing… he didn’t even dare to call his Senior Sister that… “What’s wrong with you, not sleeping this late at night?” Ning Zhenzhen, who was lying on Shen Qing’s bed playing with her hair, cursed, “Senior Brother, don’t mind him.”
Jiang Wanqing also frowned.
Lin Yi understood.
It must be Ning Zhenzhen who incited his Senior Sister. She had long disliked him, and now that she knew he was coming down the mountain, she must have found some wild man from somewhere to try and steal his Senior Sister!
Jiang Wanqing exhaled. Disturbed twice by Lin Yi, even with her good temper, she couldn’t help but feel a bit annoyed. “If you have something to say, say it quickly.”
Lin Yi hurriedly said, “Senior Sister, I want to ask you to accompany me to break off the engagement tomorrow, okay?”
What do your engagements have to do with me?
Jiang Wanqing muttered inwardly, but still held back from cursing to maintain her good image. She said blandly, “I’m busy.”
“Anything else?” Shen Qing’s lips curved into a smile, his expression gentle. “If not, I’ll close the door.”
Lin Yi took a deep breath, “Nothing…”
Bang!
The door closed just like that.
It was like a barrier, isolating everything inside and out.
The laughter was inside, and Lin Yi was left with this endless, lonely night.
He walked back to his room dejectedly, almost bumping into someone on the way. Noticing it was the maid he had seen with his Senior Sister today, Lin Yi forced a smile, “Are you alright?”
“I’m fine.” Qiao’er covered her nose. To avoid Lin Yi just now, she had run headfirst into a pillar.
It hurt, but she couldn’t curse a guest.
Annoying!
Wanting to leave a good impression on those around his Senior Sister, Lin Yi asked with concern, “Do you still have something to do this late? Do you need any help?”
“No, I’m just bringing some tea and snacks to Miss and Young Master Shen.”
With that, Qiao’er checked that the small box of tea and snacks in her hand hadn’t been damaged and left.
Only Lin Yi remained, alone.
Tea and snacks?
How late were they going to stay up?
They even needed tea and snacks?
Were they going to… “No, Senior Sister!!!”
Lin Yi knelt on the ground.
This wasn’t the descent from the mountain he wanted. He should have been making a name for himself, famous throughout the Eastern Barren, and winning the beauty.
How could it be like this?!
The passing Jiang Family members noticed the Young Miss’s Junior Brother and were a bit hesitant to approach.
“Look at that person, he looks like a dog.”
Lin Yi suddenly looked up.
“Who? Who’s cursing me?”
Another young Jiang Family girl quickly covered her mouth, “Shh, let’s go quickly.”
