Lin Su spread his hands, blocking between them. "Two beautiful ladies, please calm down... Let's talk this out properly!"
The two women's gazes simultaneously shot towards him, looking quite surprised. You're trying to mediate?
Didn't you cause this in the first place?
Lin Su said, "Dark Night, I just wanted to see you, that's why I said those things intentionally. Honestly, that's not how I truly felt. You work so hard helping the Lin Family guard the house every night. I just wanted you to come down and eat something delicious. I'll cook myself, whip up a few good dishes, have some Baiyunbian, and we can discuss martial arts. Wouldn't that be wonderful? Don't you think?"
The anger filling Dark Night's belly dissipated by more than half.
Lin Su turned to Zhang Yiyu. "Yiyu, actually, I've admired you immensely for a long time. Your brother even said that his sister is a celestial being. Seeing you today, I realized your brother was talking complete nonsense. Where in the world is there a celestial being as beautiful as you? You're clearly... clearly..."
He got stuck.
Zhang Yiyu looked at him quietly. "Clearly what?"
Lin Su scratched his head. "I got too carried away. I really don't know... what's more beautiful than a celestial being..."
The two women simultaneously put their hands to their foreheads. What a scoundrel!
The esteemed Jieyuan, and he acts like this?
Zhang Yiyu decided not to bicker with him and directly asked a question she was very interested in:
"What was that 'erotic novel' you mentioned just now? Is it a new literary genre?"
Although the person in front of them was a scoundrel, there was one thing you had to admit: his poetry, his prose, his calligraphy, all were outstanding. The erotic novel he mentioned was naturally no ordinary thing. Perhaps her brother could achieve a breakthrough with it in the future. Her brother was a genius in the Literary Way. If there was a new literary genre, it would be of great help to him. Although the siblings often quarreled fiercely, at crucial moments, she, the sister, still thought of her brother.
As soon as this was mentioned, Dark Night's expression changed.
Lin Su scratched his head harder. The matter of erotic novels was not something to be discussed. Discussing it carried the risk of getting beaten. He quickly changed the subject...
"How about I make you some small dishes? We can eat, drink, and chat about martial arts?" He went out, pushed open the kitchen door, and called out, "Mei Niang, prepare some ingredients for me. I'm going to make some small dishes..."
Zhang Yiyu was astonished and looked at Dark Night. "He's cooking himself?"
"It seems so!"
"Has he done this before?"
"Seven or eight times!"
"The esteemed Jieyuan... acting so unbecomingly. Doesn't his mother beat him?"
"She intended to at first, but later she seemed to get used to it. Besides, this really isn't that unbecoming for him..."
She wanted to say that what was truly unbecoming was him writing erotic novels to flirt with her...
But of course, those words couldn't be spoken aloud.
Dark Night had been here for almost two months and had developed a relatively strong immunity. Zhang Yiyu was far worse off. Seeing Lin Su skillfully stir-frying in the kitchen, she felt a sense of utter subversion. After he brought the dishes to the table, Zhang Yiyu tried a bite and was even more subverted. The dishes were surprisingly delicious.
She was a cultivator who had almost reached the state of bigu (abstaining from grain). What was bigu? It meant not eating worldly food.
But as this dish entered her mouth, she clearly felt that worldly food had its own unique flavor...
When it came to eating, Dark Night was in the same realm as her.
Over the past two months, the Lin Mansion's dishes had tempted Dark Night countless times. It would be a lie to say she didn't want to try them, but her status was extraordinary. She couldn't possibly sneak into the kitchen in the dead of night to steal leftovers. The moment she tasted today's dishes, her appetite was greatly whetted, and her taste buds instantly activated. Fortunately, her years of martial arts training had given her the necessary composure, preventing her from losing control. She ate slowly and deliberately, trying her best to treat the dishes in front of her as the Steamed Cornbread Buns she had eaten countless times before...
Lin Su was also eating and drinking, fully grasping the subtle expressions of the two women.
His strenuous efforts to please the two women were absolutely not without reason.
Dark Night, the pinnacle of martial arts!
Zhang Yiyu, the Five Realms Dao Flower!
Extraordinary women, rarely seen in the world, gathered in his humble abode. What kind of fate was this?
He was not a monk who had renounced all worldly desires. He had a purpose!
What purpose? What else could it be, you ask?
Zhang Yiyu had tied her brother to the Bishui Sect to decipher the heavenly book scrolls for her. He needed to see what this heavenly book scroll, which involved astronomy, the five elements, and mathematics, actually was—worthy of her staking her own brother's future on it.
Matters involving heavenly book scrolls must be the greatest secret of the Bishui Immortal Sect. He couldn't appear too interested, as that would be highly suspicious. If the higher-ups of the Bishui Sect became alerted, they might just eliminate him. He needed to give her time, get familiar with her, and let her bring it up herself.
Then what did he want from Dark Night?
Naturally, it was martial arts.
He was different from others. He had Dual Roots of Literary and Martial Arts. He knew how to proceed on the path of the Literary Way; it was nothing more than copying and copying... No! It was nothing more than using his superb literary knowledge to overcome all obstacles. But in martial arts, he was completely lost.
Although his father was also a martial arts master, he only reached the Martial Ancestor realm before his death. His brother, a martial arts prodigy, had basically caught up to their father's progress so far and was also a Martial Ancestor.
And what was this woman before him?
Peeking Human Realm!
He hadn't even known this realm existed in martial arts before. You could imagine how vast the gap was.
A generation's martial arts grandmaster. If he didn't bring her in to guide his martial arts, wouldn't it be like sitting on a treasure mountain for two months and ending up empty-handed?
For these two goals, he spared no expense, personally cooking and preparing dishes, using his best culinary skills to win them over, and employing flattery techniques he had never used in his life to praise them...
They had drunk the wine and eaten the food, but the two women remained silent, not mentioning martial arts even half a word.
This was a bit baffling. Were my compliments wasted?
Alright, one more move. This one is called: Casting a Brick to Lure Jade.
"The Martial Way, I've been interested in it since I was young. I've also collected many martial arts stories, some of which are quite interesting. Ladies, would you like to hear them?"
Both women nodded simultaneously, their gazes drifting, conveying a sense of: I won't speak, I'll just quietly watch your performance.
Not exactly two enthusiastic listeners. Perhaps I should have pulled Xiao Tao in. If Xiao Tao heard him say this, she would definitely jump up and look at him with her peach-blossom eyes, saying, "Young Master, tell Xiao Tao..."
How much more passionate would that be?
But the atmosphere had already reached this point. Let's begin.
