Chapter 270 The Quiet Courtyard(1/2)
Not long after the guard who reported the news entered the Yang Mansion, something unexpected happened to Lin Qi.
Yang Caide, dressed in white robes, dusty and tired, walked quickly towards the gate of Yang Mansion with a smile on his face.
When he saw Lin Qi, he said with great enthusiasm:
"It turns out that little brother Lin is here. He is really a noble person who has come to visit and made Yang Mansion shine!"
However, Lin Qi could still see a hint of sadness between Yang Caide's eyebrows.
It seems that the recent events in the Yang Mansion have really made Yang Caide a little anxious.
Previously, Yang Caide was eager to distance himself from himself, which made Lin Qi feel a little uncomfortable.
But as the saying goes, don’t slap a smile on your face. After Lin Qi was welcomed in by Yang Caide, he smiled and said:
"There's no such thing as a noble person. I'm just an ordinary warrior, and I'm also a warrior with the lowest strength in the awakening realm. How can I bother the Yang Family Master to welcome him in person?"
Yang Caide looked unconcerned. He stepped forward and patted Lin Qi on the shoulder, like an old friend for many years, and said:
"How can little brother Lin talk like that?
Now that you are the top candidate in a selection meeting, others will take your status seriously wherever you are in Qinggu Town, let alone the small Yang Mansion?"
It seemed that Yang Caide had forgotten the previous unhappiness and the rumors that had spread in Qinggu Town.
Yang Caide was overly enthusiastic, which made Lin Qi uncomfortable and could only deal with it casually.
The two of them walked to the main hall of Yang Mansion, drank several cups of spiritual tea, and chatted about useless topics.
Finally, Lin Qi put down the hot tea in his hand and talked about the purpose of coming here:
"Master Yang, Miss Yang was seriously injured in the last selection meeting. Speaking of which, she and I were in the same batch of students for five times on the water.
I came here specifically to visit you. I wonder where Miss Yang is now?"
In just a few words, Lin Qi cleverly avoided some awkward places and went straight to the purpose.
Yang Caide raised his brows, and the smile on his face became stronger: "Is Brother Lin interested in my little girl?
Speaking of which, Brother Lin is extremely talented. Although my daughter has lost her cultivation, her appearance is still good enough to rank among the top three in Qinggu Town.
Moreover, Xue Yue admired Little Brother Lin quite a lot and mentioned your extraordinary qualities to me many times.
If little brother Lin is really sincere to Xue Yue, I can betroth my daughter to you, what do you think of little brother Lin?"
Previously, Yang Caide was very angry about the rumors outside. He did not agree with any involvement between Yang Xueyue and Lin Linqi, and looked down upon Lin Qi, a boy from a poor background.
But now the situation is different. Lin Qi not only won the first place in the selection meeting, but also made great contributions to the military attache's operation to pierce the lair of the Sun family and the devil.
Nowadays, Lin Qi is also a popular person in front of Zhao Songhuan.
Coupled with the internal and external troubles of the Yang family, other clan members were dissatisfied with him as the head of the family, and some even threatened to abolish his position as head of the family and choose another talented person to be the head of the Yang family.
And judging from what happened last time, Xue Yue does have feelings for Lin Qi.
If the two of them can be brought together, the Yang family can stabilize the situation, and Lin Qi's future is limitless, which is undoubtedly not a good thing for Xue Yue's future.
As soon as these words came out, Lin Qi's face suddenly froze, a little panicked, he looked at Yang Caide and said:
"What does the Yang Family Master mean by this? What kind of status am I, how can I be worthy of Miss Yang?
I just came here to visit this time, with no other intentions, just out of friendship, so please don’t think too much, Mr. Yang.”
Lin Qi also didn't expect that Yang Caide would be so ruthless and make such a trick to directly kill Yang Xueyue...
It is probably because the Yang family does have some big problems now, and he is considered to have a certain weight in Qinggu Town.
Yang Caide probably held this view and wanted to bring himself and Yang Xueyue together.
But how could Lin Qi agree to such a thing, so he had to politely refuse Yang Caide's kindness.
Yang Caide frowned slightly, showing some dignity about the head of the family, and said in a low voice:
"Are you looking down on my little daughter? Do you think it's an insult to Brother Lin's status?"
What Lin Qi said immediately reminded Yang Caide of his previous prejudice against Lin Qi, and he felt a little angry for some unknown reason.
In their words, Yang Caide and Lin Qi seemed to be in tit-for-tat with each other.
Lin Qi didn't react at all to Yang Caide's questions or even threats. Instead, he stood up immediately and said calmly:
"Master Yang, would you rather tell me if Miss Yang is in the Yang Mansion? I have something important to discuss.
If the head of the Yang family doesn't let me see Miss Yang, that's fine, I can just leave!"
After Yang Caide heard this, there was some difference on his face, and he said secretly: "This kid still has some backbone..."
But he has yet to express his position.
Lin Qi didn't say anything, and pretended to walk out of the main hall of the Yang Mansion. He really looked like he was leaving.
When Yang Caide saw this, he immediately panicked.
Now, Lin Qi comes to visit in person, why should he put on airs?
Since this kid doesn't want to, he doesn't have to force it.
Just meet him! Anyway, it won't have any impact, and the Yang family won't lose a piece of meat.
So, Yang Caide walked quickly, stood up immediately, quickly grabbed Lin Qi's sleeve, and said with a dry smile:
"Little brother Lin wants to see my little girl, of course you can. She is right here. Little brother Lin, please come with me..."
Lin Qi nodded, and under Yang Caide's enthusiastic guidance, he walked towards the small courtyard where Yang Xueyue lived.
…
When he arrived at the entrance of the small courtyard, Yang Caide excused himself and left, leaving Lin Qi alone.
Lin Qi glanced at Yang Caide's leaving figure, took a breath, and thought:
"With different identities, others will have different attitudes towards you.
It seems that this is a benefit brought by others' efforts to seek a position of power.
A sense of superiority, vanity or what?"
Lin Qi was also feeling sad and sentimental, and walked into this slightly quiet courtyard amid the greetings of two pretty maids.
This small courtyard is similar to a garden, with countless flowers and plants. The air is very fresh and smells of flowers.
Lin Qi strolled among them and walked directly along one of the avenues, without missing the flowers and plants nearby, towards the central room of the small courtyard.
At this time in the room, Yang Xueyue was still wearing a light yellow dress, with light makeup on her face, and she was meticulous. She looked a little more beautiful than before, with a little more ladylike temperament.
When she learned that Lin Qi had arrived, she changed her previous decadent look, got up, took a bath, put on makeup, and waited for Lin Qi to arrive.
She didn't want Lin Qi to see her previous appearance. Even if her cultivation was completely lost, she was still the eldest lady of the Yang family and had her own principles and requirements.
At this time, Lin Qi knocked on the door. With a smile on her face, Yang Xueyue stood up and invited Lin Qi into the room.
This is not the boudoir where Yang Xueyuan is located, but the place in this small courtyard where guests are welcomed.
Yang Xueyue looked at Lin Qi's faint smile and said with a hint of shame and anger: "Lin Qi, are you here to laugh at me today? You are laughing at me for not entering Canglang Mountain, but you entered Canglang Mountain, and
And won the first place in the selection competition?"
When Lin Qi heard this, he showed no signs of anger.
What Yang Xueyue said was more like teasing between friends.
Lin Qi was even more unlikely to be angry about this. Instead, he ate a white fruit on the table and said casually: "How can it be possible! Even if Miss Yang does not enter Canglang Mountain to practice, she is still an extremely talented warrior, and she has
Such a good family has no worries about food and clothing, which makes me envious."
Yang Xueyue frowned slightly, and the smile she had pretended to dissipate instantly, with some sadness on her face and a faint sigh:
"Where are the talents of a warrior? Those are all things imposed on me by others!
Now, I have lost all my cultivation and have no chance to become a warrior. Please don’t rub salt into my wounds on this, okay?”
Lin Qi was speechless and felt that he had said the wrong thing.
It seems that I just said something that I shouldn't have said.
But I came here to report this time just to help her solve this difficulty, and there was nothing worth hiding.
But before Lin Qi could talk about this, Yang Xueyue smiled again and teased Lin Qi:
"I heard that you were behind the plan for the cooperation between Sun Mansion and Mo Zaizi, and you also collaborated with Zhao Songhuan from the Military Attachment. I don't know if it's true or not?"
Lin Qi looked at the beautiful face in front of him, nodded slightly, and expressed his agreement.
Yang Xueyue continued to ask: "Where is Sun Tongjing? What about that bastard Sun Tongjing?"
Lin Qi thought for a while and replied: "The reason why Sun Tongjing was able to enter the broken spirit realm in the selection meeting was because he practiced the magic technique of the devil.
After that, at the selection meeting, my cultivation was revoked by me again, and last night during the fight between Mo Zizi and Zhao Songhuan, I was drowned in the dark room of the lava chamber."
Yang Xueyue clenched her fists tightly, with a look of relief on her face.
Originally, after all her cultivation was lost, and Sun Tongjing would definitely be able to enter Canglang Mountain, her own importance in the Yang family was no longer that high.
The Yang family will not avenge themselves for this, and Sun Tongjing will live more freely.
