Volume 2: The Demonic World Chapter 253 I Won’t Abandon You
"Lin Kong, you don't have to belittle yourself. Although you are a casual cultivator, you have extraordinary talent and outstanding alchemy skills. You are a good match for Yun'er." Facing Lin Qianxing's words, Tan Zhen's expression remained unchanged and he continued calmly.
"No, Master Tan, you are too kind. I already have a Taoist partner and I dare not marry someone who is too high." Lin Qianxing said.
"Lin Kong, are you sure you want to do this?" Tan Zhen said with a cold face.
"Sure." Lin Qianxing said without hesitation.
"Okay, okay, you have lofty ambitions and look down on my Tan family. But considering your past contributions, I won't bother with you. Get out!" Tan Zhen said.
"I wish Master Tan to achieve ever-increasing success in his cultivation. Lin Kong is taking his leave!" Lin Qianxing said politely.
After saying that, Lin Qianxing left without looking back.
Everyone in the main hall looked at Lin Qianxing with a complicated expression.
They didn't understand why Lin Qianxing would reject the kindness of a real person.
This is an opportunity to reach the sky in one step.
Moreover, although Tan Qiaoyun looked like a fairy, she was also a stunning beauty in the world. How could Lin Qianxing reject her without hesitation?
I can only say that he is still too young!
Lin Qianxing walked out of the main hall and went straight to the place where the alchemists including Wang Han were feasting.
In addition to Wang Han, there is another female alchemist named Rong Chang in the Wang Family Chamber of Commerce. They were talking in a low voice at this time, with the female alchemist mostly talking and Wang Han listening carefully.
"People's hearts are mean, and what they can't get is the best. If you want to win the heart of Master Lin Dan, in addition to having good cooking skills, you must also learn to keep a little distance and not be too submissive..."
"Ahem!" Lin Qianxing coughed to remind her, and then said in front of Rong Chang's embarrassed expression: "Master Rong Dan is not kind, teaching my senior sister to be bad behind my back. What if my senior sister doesn't cook for me in the future? Will you cook for me?"
Rong Chang said awkwardly, "It was all just a joke. I hope Master Lin Dan will forgive me and not take it to heart."
Wang Han also seemed a little shy. She looked at Lin Qianxing and said, "Junior brother, didn't you go to the main hall? Why did you come out?"
Lin Qianxing did not hide it and said, "Master Tan wanted to marry his daughter to me. I told him I already had a Taoist partner and rejected him. He was a little unhappy and kicked me out."
Hearing this, the alchemists at the table were all shocked when they looked at Lin Qianxing's expression, as if they were looking at some kind of demon from outer space.
Yes, who in their right mind would refuse such a thing?
Wang Han was shocked, wondering where Lin Qianxing got his Taoist partner from, but then she seemed to realize something belatedly.
"Junior brother, are you talking about me?" Wang Han murmured in her heart, and then she habitually doubted with some lack of confidence: "Junior brother should just be making up an excuse to refuse, right ?"
Lin Qianxing didn't care about the expressions of the crowd, but asked, "Can I have an extra seat?"
“Of course, of course!!”
"Master Lin Dan, please take a seat."
The alchemists in the field spoke up one after another, and even Rong Chang took the initiative to give up her seat to Lin Qianxing, letting him sit next to Wang Han.
What a joke! After offending a real person like this, he was not killed on the spot but was just driven out of the main hall.
This shows how high Lin Qianxing's status is in Tan Zhen's heart.
They are just a family having some disagreements. Once they figure it out, they will still be a family sooner or later.
They would not look at Lin Qianxing strangely because of this.
It would be painful if Lin Qianxing was petty and took revenge on them later.
Despite the incident involving Lin Qianxing, Tan Zhen's cultivation banquet was still held successfully.
At most, some people are a little curious about Lin Qianxing.
Tan Zhen could tolerate Lin Qianxing's insult to his reputation, so they really couldn't figure out what kind of background Lin Qianxing had.
Those people are not fools.
After knowing that Lin Qianxing was a casual cultivator, combined with what had happened during the time that Lin Qianxing joined the Tan Family Chamber of Commerce, they naturally guessed something.
It is obvious that Lin Qianxing played a vital role in Tan Zhen's breakthrough to the realm of cultivation.
Otherwise, Tan Zhen would not have thought of marrying his daughter to tie Lin Qianxing down, nor would he have tolerated Lin Qianxing walking out of the main hall standing after being humiliated by Lin Qianxing in that way.
Some people wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to poach people, but since Tan Zhen was already a real person in the realm of cultivation, it was not easy to poach him.
As time passed, ten days had passed since the Cultivation Banquet.
Lin Qianxing continued to practice and refine pills as before, enjoying being fed by his senior sister.
After what happened, Tan Qiaoyun hasn't appeared in front of Lin Qianxing for a long time.
Lin Qianxing still seemed a little uncomfortable without the spiritual fruits and delicacies she sent him.
That day, when Lin Qianxing was having dinner, Wang Han suddenly cautiously asked, "Junior brother, I heard from Master Rong Dan that Duobao City will hold a Rainbow Lantern Festival on the first day of next month..."
"It is indeed a bit boring to practice all day long." Lin Qianxing nodded, looked at Wang Han and said, "But this is our first time to participate in this kind of festival. Senior Sister, please ask Master Rong Dan for more details and ask which places are more fun. Don't let us just wander around without knowing anything. It would also be bad if we violated taboos."
"Yeah, yeah." Wang Han smiled and nodded repeatedly, "I'll ask clearly."
Soon, the day of the Rainbow Lantern Festival came.
Whether in the inner city or the outer city, all shops and homes will hang colorful lanterns of different colors at their doors.
Different colors represent different wishes.
Many shops have special puzzles and restrictions on their lanterns. Once you solve them, you can take away the small gifts that the merchants have prepared for you inside the lanterns.
This can also be considered a variation of guessing riddles.
Lin Qianxing and Wang Han put on new clothes, walked on the streets, and admired the rows of lanterns hanging high. Sometimes Lin Qianxing would solve the restrictions and puzzles of a lantern and get a reward for Wang Han.
These prohibitions and puzzles were almost not difficult for Lin Qianxing, so much so that after Lin Qianxing walked around, Wang Han had all kinds of small jewelry on her body and both of her hands were filled with snacks.
"Junior brother, don't untie them anymore, that's enough, leave some for everyone..." Wang Han finally whispered to Lin Qianxing when she saw that Lin Qianxing was still trying to untie the lanterns.
Hearing this, Lin Qianxing withdrew his hand with some reluctance, and said, "I just increased the Xuansi attribute to 20,000 yesterday, and I couldn't help but try it a little more. Since you have said enough, then I will not understand it anymore."
Wang Han didn't know what Lin Qianxing meant by "add mysterious thinking attribute", but it was the first time she saw Lin Qianxing showing such childishness, which was quite different from his previous attitude of having everything under control, so she couldn't help but smile.
She thought, how nice it would be if it could always be like this?
As she was thinking, she suddenly felt the thing in her left hand being taken away by Lin Qianxing, and then Lin Qianxing took her left hand.
“Junior brother…” Wang Han blushed and said shyly.
"Senior Sister, do you want to eat it too?" Lin Qianxing pretended to be confused and handed the Sword Immortal sugar figure that he had taken a bite of to Wang Han.
Wang Han blinked and took a careful bite.
I don’t know why, but this bite of sugar man seems extra sweet?
Lin Qianxing looked at Wang Han's shy expression and a smile appeared in his eyes.
Although he cannot be said to have rich emotional experience, after so many life experiences in the game, his rank is no longer a bronze player.
Naturally, I won’t be shy like a young kid anymore .
Just as Lin Qianxing and Wang Han were leisurely looking at the scenery and playing hand in hand, a familiar figure suddenly appeared in front of them.
"I really envy the relationship between Master Lin Kong and Master Wang Dan." Tan Qiaoyun said with a smile.
Wang Han unconsciously tightened her grip on Lin Qianxing's hand. Lin Qianxing smiled back and said, "After all, we have been through thick and thin together. I dare not be unkind."
Hearing this, Wang Han couldn't help but lower her head, and her face from neck to ears turned red.
Tan Qiaoyun smiled bitterly and said, "I really lost more than I gained. I schemed so hard, but in the end I lost face for my father and ruined my reputation."
"Sorry." Lin Qianxing said.
Although it wasn't his fault, he still had to pay half a spirit stone to say sorry.
"No, no, no, it's not your fault, Master Lin Kong. It's me who had thoughts that I shouldn't have." Tan Qiaoyun shook her head and said, "I won't bother you two anymore. Goodbye."
Lin Qianxing nodded and moved away from Tan Qiaoyun.
The two looked at each other, and Lin Qianxing saw some complicated emotions in those eyes.
Maybe this isn't just a calculation.
When Lin Qianxing thought of this, he suddenly woke up.
Tan Qiaoyun's eyes really speak volumes. He couldn't help but look at them so many times.
You know, now his soul attributes have reached more than a thousand points.
I don’t know how exaggerated the other person’s charm is, but every frown and smile is filled with an inexplicable attraction.
Lin Qianxing turned around and looked at Wang Han, who was still looking down at his chest, and breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, my senior sister didn’t notice that I was distracted, otherwise it would be a bit embarrassing.
"Senior Sister, let's go. There are still some places we haven't visited. Didn't you say there is a big iron tree in the inner city? Take me to see it!" Lin Qianxing said.
"Uh, oh... okay!"
Wang Han came back to her senses, the blush on her face had not yet faded, so she could only force herself not to look at Lin Qianxing, and holding Lin Qianxing's hand, they walked towards the iron tree together.
Soon, the two arrived in front of the iron tree.
This iron tree was transplanted from the Iron Tree City outside.
But because the inner city is full of spiritual energy, the iron trees that usually grow no more than five or six meters high have actually grown into giant trees twenty meters high here.
There are many flower buds on the branches of this iron tree, and many wooden signs are hung on them.
Those wooden plaques all have my wishes written on them.
It is very difficult for a iron tree to bloom once every hundred years.
So ordinary people regard it as a wishing tree, hoping that the iron tree will bloom and their wishes will come true.
What Lin Qianxing didn't expect was that the monks also liked this?
Then he got the answer from the conversation with the monks next to him.
"No matter if it works or not, it's useless to not believe it. It won't hurt to try."
Lin Qianxing smiled, took out two wooden plaques, handed one to Wang Han, took one for himself, and then they each began to write their wishes.
【I hope you can pass the customs smoothly. 】
After finishing writing, Lin Qianxing casually hung it on the iron tree and secretly glanced at the wish written by Wang Han with his spiritual sense.
[I hope Junior Brother Lin is safe, his cultivation can be improved faster, his alchemy skills can be further improved, and he will not abandon me...]
"Senior Sister, it can only fulfill one wish at a time. If you write so many, it won't know which wish to fulfill when the time comes." Lin Qianxing couldn't help but speak out.
Hearing this, Wang Han subconsciously hid the wooden sign in front of her chest, and then whispered, "Then I'll just write one..."
"It doesn't matter, just write it all down. If it can't be realized, I will help it realize it." Lin Qianxing smiled confidently.
When Wang Han saw Lin Qianxing's smile, she couldn't help but feel convinced.
She couldn't help but be a little distracted, and recalled the scene in the Dan Palace when Lin Qianxing was still an inner disciple and stood up to protect her in front of everyone.
Lin Qianxing also had the same confident expression at that time.
Wang Han nodded, wrote the last stroke, and then hung it on the iron tree.
Lin Qianxing tidied Wang Han's hair and said softly, "Senior Sister, don't worry, I won't abandon you."
