Inside the inn, sunlight slowly spilled across the windowsill. Jiang Lin, wearing nothing but a pair of underpants, stared at the Washboard that had appeared on the floor at some point, his feelings incredibly complicated...
[Kneel on Washboard] was indeed a rule of the Dragon Gate Sect. It was said that this rule had been established because the Founding Ancestor of the Dragon Gate Sect had gone out drinking flower wine, only to be discovered by his Dao Companion.
The problem was that, even after being discovered, the ancestor still refused to admit it. The Founding Ancestor had insisted that he had been out learning foreign languages.
As a result, the Founding Ancestor of the Dragon Gate Sect had knelt on the Washboard for three whole months.
After that, "Kneel on Washboard" became a mandatory punishment for deceiving fellow disciples.
No matter how serious the matter was, one had to kneel first and talk later. Only after getting on the Washboard would they discuss whatever other crimes had been committed.
Later, it gradually became an essential prop for some Dao Companions with peculiar tastes.
Staring straight at the Washboard, Lin Qingwan gave a "hmph" and turned her head away. In a chilly tone, she asked, "Since you don't want to kneel, then lick my feet."
Before Jiang Lin stood a beautiful woman with her long legs crossed, already draped in a cyan gauze skirt.
"Senior Sister... you!"
Jiang Lin's face flushed. He wasn't bragging—he could lick those long legs of hers until the bones snapped!
Just as Jiang Lin approached Lin Qingwan with "extreme reluctance," Lin Qingwan's cheeks reddened slightly, and she withdrew her long legs.
"Forget it... Tell me, what did you go out and do last night?"
"Hm???"
This question was wrong! Shouldn't Senior Sister have asked why he had stolen the Dragon Vein, why he had betrayed the sect, and how he had faked his death—a three-part interrogation? Why was she asking where he had gone last night? Was that even important?
"What? Don't dare tell me? Where did you sneak off to last night!"
Turning her little head, Lin Qingwan glared straight at Jiang Lin with her beautiful eyes wide open. Compared to her usual aloof senior-sister demeanor, her super-fierce appearance actually carried a few more hints of playful cuteness.
"Last night... I went for a walk." Jiang Lin answered truthfully.
"A walk?" Lin Qingwan's eyes narrowed slightly.
Killing Intent! That was right! This was absolutely Killing Intent!
Although he didn't know why, Jiang Lin could feel undisguised Killing Intent radiating from his bare-faced senior sister, whose beauty remained as clear and lovely as ever...
"Jiang Lin, after going for your walk, you didn't do anything else?"
"Anything else? Oh, yes. While I was on the way to eat a steamed bun, I happened to encounter several people chasing and trying to kill a woman. Your junior brother just happened to pass by, so I stepped in and saved her."
"And what happened after you saved her?"
"After I saved her? I came back, of course." Jiang Lin stared at Lin Qingwan with a completely "blank" expression.
"Jiang Lin!"
Suddenly, Lin Qingwan stood up, her chest heaving violently. She looked thoroughly enraged.
"You still refuse to tell me the truth?"
"???"
Jiang Lin was genuinely dumbfounded. What he had said was the truth! He had merely skipped over some unnecessary details, but those things had nothing to do with Senior Sister Lin, did they?
"Senior Sister, I think there's some misunderstanding between us?"
Seeing Lin Qingwan draw the Azure Jade Sword and advance step by step, Jiang Lin hurriedly retreated.
"Bang!"
With nowhere left to retreat, Jiang Lin pressed tightly against the door. Lin Qingwan planted one hand beside his head, pinning him against the wall.
This was the first time Jiang Lin had ever been Wall Slammed by a girl.
This feeling...
It was kind of marvelous.
"A walk? Then why do you have another woman's scent on you? What did you do with her?! Is it really that difficult to tell me the truth?"
"Another woman's scent?"
"Senior Sister, do you know Xiao Xueli?"
"Huh?"
Lin Qingwan, who had been standing with her arms folded across her chest, froze slightly.
"Don't you? But don't worry, Senior Sister. Miss Xiao is already fine. I didn't do anything to Miss Xiao, either. I was only lying in her arms at the time, so some of her perfume rubbed off on me. She's already fine? If Senior Sister wants to find—"
Whoosh...
Before Jiang Lin could finish, a streak of sword light swept past his forehead and ear. Several strands of hair silently fell to the floor, and with a bang, the wooden table in the room was reduced to powder...
Jiang Lin hurriedly backed away several steps.
"As expected! You really did have an affair with another woman last night! You even lay in her arms?"
Rising from the bed and holding her sword before her, Lin Qingwan advanced step by step. Since the noise in the room was simply too loud, Jiang Lin could already hear Dragon Gate Sect disciples heading toward the third floor.
With his senior sister ahead of him and those treacherous fellow disciples of the Dragon Gate Sect behind him, Jiang Lin had just decided to give up resisting and use another Resurrection Coin at worst when the system's voice once again rang out amid *#& (profanity).

"Beast! System, do you have any sense of decency at all!"
Jiang Lin cursed furiously in his heart.
[Replying to the host: The system's sense of decency is equal to the host's.]
"..."
[Selection countdown begins. 3... 2...]
"Bang!"
At the final second of the countdown, the room door was smashed open. The Dragon Gate Sect disciples, worried about Lin Qingwan and Jiang Xin, rushed in together.
And the instant they charged inside, they saw a scene they would never be able to forget for the rest of their lives...
