With a single sentence, Jiang Qingqin's defenses crumbled completely, and her affection for Lin Bai soared. She wriggled out of his embrace and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes. "Lin Bai, you may be extraordinarily skilled and full of clever tricks, but you're far too innocent when it comes to dealing with people. Perhaps it's because you spent so long cultivating in the Righteousness Sect. You should learn to be smarter and stop trusting people so easily."
Lin Bai gave a simple, guileless smile. "My master says the same thing, but that's just my nature. I can't change it! There's a good saying: fools have a fool's luck. You, on the other hand, shouldn't think so badly of everyone."
"You have no idea what she did when you were in danger." Jiang Qingqin looked at Lin Bai and sighed softly. "My master can't handle those Heaven-Sent Ones. She wants you to come over and use your name to placate them, and she also wants to learn about their temperament from you. But I'm not going to let you go. She's taking advantage of your good nature. Remember, don't tell her anything else about the Righteousness Sect or those powerful manuals of yours. Even if you want to spread them, find someone you can trust..."
Jiang Qingqin kept admonishing Lin Bai, as though he truly knew nothing of worldly affairs.
It was hardly surprising. Ever since Jiang Qingqin had met Lin Bai, everything he did had been far too straightforward.
When he whispered sweet nothings, that was all he did. When he came clean with Jiang Yuru, he simply came clean. When people targeted him at the job fair, he killed as soon as he said he would, without considering the consequences or taking any twists and turns.
