Qing Lin's "Betrayal"

"What were you two whispering about? And Qing Lin, what were you about to say again?"

The two women returned after only a few minutes of whispering.

However, Xiao Yan was still puzzled about what Qing Lin had just tried to express.

He always felt that it would be a very important matter!

However, after Xiao Yi Xian's reminder, how could Qing Lin continue speaking?

Although she didn't know what Grandpa Xiao's purpose was in doing this, she was absolutely on Grandpa Xiao's side unconditionally.

Because she is where she is today entirely because of the result of Grandpa Xiao bringing her to Central Plains!

So, even though Xiao Lin didn't spend much time with Qing Lin, in Qing Lin's heart, Xiao Lin was the person she respected most, without exception!

Therefore, whenever Qing Lin met the Xiao brothers, Xiao Ding and Xiao Li, at the Myriad Formation Spirit Palace, she always treated them as her Maid, calling them "Young Master" repeatedly.

Even though the Xiao brothers, Xiao Ding and Xiao Li, repeatedly told her that she didn't need to do that, her answer was always "Okay, young master," or "I understand, young master," and so on.

Its main trait is refusing to listen to advice!

In the end, having no other choice, the brothers Xiao Ding and Xiao Li could only let things take their course.

However, psychologically, the two brothers never regarded Qing Lin as Maid, but rather as their younger sister.

As for now, after Qing Lin learned Xiao Yan's identity, she...

"Young Master Xiao Yan, it's nothing. I was just curious about your Xiao Household in Wutan City, really!"

As Qing Lin spoke, she nodded earnestly to make sure Xiao Yan believed her.

Xiao Yan: "..."

No, could you be any more fake?

Putting everything else aside, why did they suddenly start calling him "Young Master"?

Although that's how the clansmen addressed him when he was in the Xiao Household.

But when he was out and about, he had never actually met anyone call him that; at most, they would just call him "Young Master Xiao Yan".

Moreover, Xiao Yan remembered it very clearly.

Before he mentioned the Xiao Household of Wutan City, Qing Lin had been wary of him like a thief, fearing that he would steal her Xiao Yi Xian away.

But why did the other person change so drastically after whispering with Xiao Yi Xian?

Was he still half asleep?

Xiao Yan felt a little dazed.

Xiao Yi Xian, standing to the side, merely opened her mouth but ultimately said nothing more.

Calling him "Young Master" is fine; it's better than letting Xiao Yan know the truth!

In Xiao Yi Xian's opinion, since Qing Lin calls Master Xiao "Young Master," Xiao Yan can't figure out why.

This can be seen from Xiao Yan's bewildered expression right now.

"Xiao Yi Xian, what exactly did you say to Miss Qing Lin? Why did she become like this?"

Since he couldn't figure it out, Xiao Yan had no choice but to ask.

"Young Master Xiao Yan, you can call me Qing Lin from now on!"

Before Xiao Yi Xian could even speak, Qing Lin gave her a very serious reminder.

Xiao Yan: "..."

No, it feels really strange that he's being respected like this for no reason!

"Miss Qing Lin, you..."

"Young Master Xiao Yan, may I call you Qing Lin?"

Before Xiao Yan could finish speaking, Qing Lin interrupted him.

Seeing the little girl's expression that said, "If you keep yelling like that, I'll cry, "Xiao Yan was completely dumbfounded.

At this moment, Xiao Yan really wanted to ask, "Is it appropriate for a Dou Venerable to show such an expression?"

However, if you ignore his cultivation level, Qing Lin's expression actually looks perfectly natural!

In the end, Xiao Yan was the first to compromise.

"Alright, I understand, Aunt Qing Lin... Qing Lin."

Since they've already gone this far, he naturally couldn't continue being polite.

Sure enough, as Xiao Yan called Qing Lin by her name, the latter was so happy that she squinted her eyes.

"But Qing Lin, why are you suddenly calling me young master?"

Xiao Yan pressed for more information.

When Xiao Yan asked again, Qing Lin showed a thoughtful expression.

Just as Xiao Yan was wondering what reason Qing Lin would give, her answer made his expression freeze completely.

"Because Young Master Xiao is Young Master Xiao Yan!"

Qing Lin's answer was quite matter-of-fact!

Xiao Yan: "..."

At the same time, Xiao Yan couldn't help but want to cover his face.

Why did he suddenly find that he couldn't communicate normally with Qing Lin anymore?

Is it his problem?

No, the problem is clearly with Qing Lin!

At this moment, Xiao Yi Xian, who had remained silent until now, came up with a reasonable explanation for Qing Lin.

"Xiao Yan is actually a member of your Xiao Household. He once did Qing Lin a favor, which is why she suddenly became so respectful to you after learning your identity."

Because what that person did to Qing Lin was like giving her a new life!

Xiao Yi Xian spoke very seriously.

Although this was a reason that Xiao Yi Xian came up with, upon closer examination, it is indeed the truth.

Xiao Yi Xian simply omitted the process.

"That's right, that's exactly it!"

Qing Lin wholeheartedly agreed with the reasons Xiao Yi Xian had given him.

"Has anyone from my Xiao Household ever done Qing Lin a favor?"

Muttering to himself, Xiao Yan also wore a thoughtful expression.

That actually makes sense when you think about it.

However, when Xiao Yan asked who Qing Lin's benefactor was, thanks to Xiao Yi Xian's earlier reminder, Qing Lin simply brushed it off by saying that the other party had never revealed their specific name to her.

Although Xiao Yan sensed that things were more complicated than they seemed, seeing that Qing Lin and Xiao Yi Xian didn't want to discuss the topic further, he, a grown man, didn't press the matter.

"Never mind, I'll figure it out eventually!"

Xiao Yan decided to stop worrying about this issue for the time being.

Just as he thought, the answer to this question will eventually be found out, won't it?

He simply didn't believe that Xiao Yi Xian would harm him.

However, after this incident, the relationship between the three became increasingly harmonious.

Well, the harmony here refers to the fact that Qing Lin no longer deliberately stands between Xiao Yi Xian and Xiao Yan.

Not only that, Qing Lin has even decided to secretly help Xiao Yan.

For example, one night, Qing Lin secretly found Xiao Yan.

"Young Master Xiao Yan, you must like Sister Xiao Yi Xian, right? In that case, let me help you! With my help, I believe Young Master Xiao Yan will be able to win over Sister Xiao Yi Xian very quickly!"

When Qing Lin said these words to Xiao Yan in a very serious tone, Xiao Yan's lips twitched, and he was once again dumbfounded.

No, Qing Lin, you "betrayed" me a little too quickly!

At first, they treated me like a thief, not letting me get close to Xiao Yi Xian.

Now look what's happened! They've betrayed their best friend!

At this moment, Xiao Yan really wanted to ask Qing Lin just how much kindness his mysterious clansman had shown her.

At this moment, she was actually willing to "betray" her best friend for the sake of an outsider like herself!
