A woman's intuition!
"Young master, please wait."
Watching Jiang Lin leave with the husky in his arms, Lin Qingwan stood up and slowly called out to him, her eyebrows slightly furrowed.
It's so similar! It's absolutely so similar!
His build is so much like Little Lin's!
Although I couldn't detect any Spiritual Power fluctuations from him at all, if a cultivator sealed their Spiritual Apertures, they could act just like an ordinary person.
However, Lin Qingwan was conflicted and very uncertain.
First, there's his face.
If it were just ordinary Disguise Technique, I could definitely see through it. This is Magical Art Secrets that my Grandmaster Mother personally taught me.
It seems that the purpose of the magic invented by the Grandmaster Mother was because the grandmaster liked to disguise himself to learn foreign languages and dialects, and the Grandmaster Mother invented it specifically to bring the grandmaster back.
The reason I was able to discover Little Lin's disguise last time was not only because I could sense Little Lin's unusual behavior at the time, but mainly because of this magic.
But now, why can't I see through it at all? What kind of disguise is so powerful?
Could it be that he really isn't Little Lin?
The smell on him was off too; this man had a faint scent of books about him.
But why does my intuition keep telling me that he is Little Lin?
Meanwhile, Jiang Lin, who had been called back, had a back that was already slightly damp with cold sweat.
That's impossible!
Have I really been discovered?
This isn't right!
This dough is produced by the system. Although this system is shameless, the quality should still be quite reliable...
Could it be that something else slipped up?
That can't be right, how could that be?
The bookish scent I carry was specially purchased from a friend from a Agricultural School at the Sun Moon Sect. He also made the squid-scented sachet last time; the quality is indeed excellent.
My own voice? That's even more impossible; the system sells a Voice Changer for a whopping 5000 Notoriety Points!
It was agreed that cultivators below the Jade Purity Realm wouldn't be able to tell. Even if you gave it to a fifty-year-old tank, the kind of person who would make you feel weak all over if she called you "Onii-chan," it would be impossible for her to give it away.
There's only one possibility left!
A woman's intuition!
Actually, Jiang Lin thought about it again and realized that he didn't need to deliberately avoid his senior sister, since this time it wasn't like the situation in Black Tortoise City last time.
However, Jiang Lin's visit to Donglin City was not solely to resolve the strange events in the Donglin City; his true intentions lay with the Dugu Demonic Sect, indicating a much grander ambition.
There are even strange forces targeting me; it would be bad if they dragged my senior sister into it too.
And to be honest, Jiang Lin doesn't really want to get close to the protagonist right now, since his relationship with his senior sister is just so-so.
At least my senior sister won't want to scatter my ashes anymore. If I get close to her and something goes wrong, like the system giving me a few shameless missions, wouldn't my relationship with her be back to square one?
"But yeah, why isn't the system responding?"
Just as Jiang Lin was wondering if there was something wrong with the system.
A "ding..." sound echoed in Jiang Lin's mind.
The system will never let you down...
[Detection indicates that the host has met with the protagonist, Lin Qingwan, again, and Lin Qingwan suspects the protagonist's identity. Quest triggered.]
[Selective Task:]
1. Please remove your mask and say the following words with a serious expression, "Senior Sister, I'm sorry, I once loved you, but now, just as you think, I have stepped onto the ladder of adulthood. Please forget me." This will undermine Lin Qingwan's resolve and showcase your villainous charm!
2. Please infiltrate the Dragon Gate Sect and infiltrate the enemy ranks.
PS: If the host chooses Mission Two, they will automatically enter the Donglin City event instance. Within the instance, there are various missions for the host to find, as well as main quests that the host must complete. Clearing the Donglin City instance will yield even richer rewards, as listed below...
Looking at the list of rewards released by the system, Jiang Lin's eyes gradually lit up! But it wasn't quite enough to make him excited.
Until at the very bottom of the list, it appeared...
Indestructible Kidney!
In an instant! Two puffs of white smoke billowed from Jiang Lin's nose!
This was the third time. Those three mornings, the moment he stood up, his legs buckled and he collapsed to his knees, Jiang Lin experienced a profound sense of helplessness...
Especially when those two white foxes said he had "kidney deficiency," even though he pretended not to care, what man could tolerate that? And what's most infuriating is that he couldn't refute it either!
As a man!
Anything is fine!
But!
I just can't stand being told I can't do it!
[Select to start the countdown...3...2...]
"No need to choose! Just go with number 2!"
Jiang Lin looked up at the dilapidated ceiling of the temple!
I never want to be looked at with that kind of contempt again!
I will never rely on Nine Flavor Rehmannia Pills to make a living again!
I don't want to keep soaking goji berries in my thermos anymore!
I want to restore the spirit of manhood!
[Ding... Host's selection complete. Take care...]
The system's voice slowly faded away, seemingly carrying a hint of sympathy in its tone?
"Young master, it is late tonight. Why don't you rest with us in this temple and continue your journey tomorrow morning? What do you think?"
Lin Qingwan was completely unaware of Jiang Lin's inner thoughts in such a short time, but that didn't stop her from stepping forward to probe Jiang Lin.
Before this mission, my Grandmaster Mother heard that I was going to Donglin City and that I might meet Little Lin. She called me to her room and taught me many of the techniques that my Grandmaster Mother had used to deal with my grandmaster.
Although Qingwan is not very bright and hasn't grasped much, she can still try out some of the basics.
"This..."
Jiang Lin looked at his senior sister, who was already beautiful before and was now even more beautiful, and hesitated.
"Young master, please stay."
A junior female student stepped forward and tugged at Jiang Lin's sleeve.
"Yes, young master, my junior sister and I admire Confucian scholars the most, especially your Tao Dao De Jing. It sounds so moral."
"..." Jiang Lin's brow twitched slightly. "Young lady, the Dao De Jing is a Daoist classic... not a Confucian one..."
"Uh... it's okay." The pretty junior sister waved her hand. "Anyway, our real intentions aren't what they seem."
"Oh dear, Xiaoya, stop talking." The junior sister next to him quickly smoothed things over, looking at Jiang Lin with an innocent expression. "Young Master, please don't listen to her nonsense. We are respectable cultivators, and we would never lay a hand on you."
"Yes, young master, please stay..."
"..."
For some reason, Jiang Lin felt as if he had entered a brothel rather than a dilapidated temple.
You're supposed to be cultivators, so why do you seem like female hooligans...?
Meanwhile, Lin Qingwan, watching Jiang Lin being pulled along by her junior sister, felt a strange sense of displeasure... her once clear Dao heart felt as if it were blocked...
