Chapter Fourteen: Even the fiancée was jealous? Qin Yu, you’re nothing but the King of Filth

“Ah!”

The moment she saw Qin Yu, Lin Yueyao screamed.

The stench that washed over her made her cover her nose at once, and the beautiful eyes trained on Qin Yu were filled with indescribable shock and disgust.

It was revolting.

“…..”

Qin Yu was stunned.

A second ago he had still rejoiced that no one had caught him in this sorry state, yet in the next instant he ran into the very girl he feared meeting most.

“Yueyao, listen to me… things aren’t what you think.”

Qin Yu tried to make excuses.

“Don’t come any closer!”

Lin Yueyao jerked back a step; although she remembered how much she owed him, she still dared not let Qin Yu approach and cried, “Go wash yourself first… hurry and wash up!”

“All right, all right… wait for me.”

Qin Yu’s face burned with embarrassment as he spoke.

At that moment he wished he could find a crack in the ground and vanish.

A short while later.

After Qin Yu washed himself and returned.

Lin Yueyao still could not bear to look straight at him; she kept a safe distance and even spoke in shallow breaths, “W-what were you doing just now… why were you covered in that?”

“Yueyao, it isn’t what you think.” Qin Yu had already prepared a story and explained, “A Senior Brother failed while practicing a summoning array; I happened to pass by and he nearly drowned… I had no choice but to rescue him.”

“What?”

Lin Yueyao stared in bewilderment.

She was easy to convince, yet even she found such an absurd tale hard to believe.

Seeing this, Qin Yu spoke righteously, “You don’t believe me? Fine, I’ll take you to him… but you must keep it secret, understood?”

“Is what you said true?”

Confronted with Qin Yu’s earnest expression, Lin Yueyao wavered.

“Yueyao, when have I ever lied to you?” Qin Yu declared forcefully, “Besides, even if I know nothing about cultivation, I’m not blind; do you think I’d fall into a latrine?”

“….”

Lin Yueyao had no retort.

Or perhaps because of her trust and gratitude toward Qin Yu, she simply could not imagine what other reason would make him look like that.

Rescuing someone sounded slightly more plausible.

When the disgust on Lin Yueyao’s face eased, Qin Yu wiped his sweat in relief and quickly changed the subject, “Yueyao, something terrible happened.”

“What is it?”

“The rumor we spread about my sister and Ning Bei got exposed…”

Qin Yu laid out what had happened.

On hearing the story, Lin Yueyao felt as if lightning had struck her, “What did you say? She actually claimed… she belongs to Ning Bei? I’m going to find Ning Bei and ask him face to face.”

These days she had suffered Ning Bei’s cold shoulder long enough, and her heart already ached.

Now that she learned Ning Bei was with Qin Jiujiu, how could she keep her reason?

“Calm down, Yueyao, that must be fake!” Qin Yu hurried to stop her, “Think about it, Jiujiu even disowned me, her brother; obviously our plan to sow discord was exposed and they got angry, so they said it on purpose just to upset us.”

“Are you sure it was just angry talk?”

“Absolutely.”

Meeting the girl’s gaze, Qin Yu thumped his chest and said, “Don’t I know my own sister? Besides, you’ve only been apart from Ning Bei for a few days; if Jiujiu were that casual, would she have waited to give her purity to Ning Bei? So it must be empty words. Even if you don’t know my sister, you know Ning Bei, right? Would he sleep with Jiujiu?”

“I…”

Lin Yueyao was at a loss for words.

Speaking of Ning Bei, she knew him best; after liking her for so many years, he had never dared even to hold her hand without permission.

How could such a Ning Bei take a woman’s chastity?

Moreover, Qin Jiujiu was so averse to men that even if they were truly dating, the relationship could not have progressed that quickly.

“Hmph, then I still have to ask him for an explanation.” Lin Yueyao bit her silver teeth, jealousy coloring her voice, “How could he just hug some other girl because he was angry?”

Seeing Lin Yueyao’s jealousy over Ning Bei, a flash of envy crossed Qin Yu’s eyes.

The next moment he stopped her, “Yueyao, we have to stay calm; if you run to Ning Bei now, it means you’ve lost.”

“But…”

Before Lin Yueyao could finish, Qin Yu interrupted again, “If you go looking for him once because you care, there will be a second time; how will you control him later?”

“I…”

Lin Yueyao felt extremely conflicted.

Because of her displeasure she did want to confront Ning Bei, yet her pride would not let her lower her head.

Besides, she truly wanted to teach Ning Bei a good lesson; he had behaved outrageously these past few days.

How dare he neglect her?

He clearly liked me so much, so why treat me like this?

Buoyed by her competitive streak and Qin Yu’s coaxing, Lin Yueyao held back, though worry still lingered in her heart.

Back when the two families arranged the engagement, it was mainly because the Lin clan faced a strong enemy and needed the Ning clan’s help.

If she kept Ning Bei hanging and caused the Ning clan to withdraw support, the impact on the Lin clan would be grave.

Hearing this concern, Qin Yu reassured her, “Relax, Yueyao, Ning Bei won’t dare tell his family; otherwise you two could never reconcile. He just wants to make you submit, not really cut ties forever, right?”

“Mm… that makes sense.”

Lin Yueyao pondered for a moment, then suddenly laughed.

She also felt the engagement between the two clans would not be shaken by a small quarrel, especially since she was not in the wrong.

If Ning Bei would apologize like before, they would have patched things up long ago.

“Stupid Ning Bei, actually fighting with his fiancée.” Lin Yueyao snorted softly, “No manly magnanimity at all. I must let him know that being tough with me is useless.”

“That’s the spirit!”

Grinning from ear to ear, Qin Yu moved closer to her.

Unexpectedly, Lin Yueyao jumped back like a frightened bird, apparently still bothered by the memory of Qin Yu being covered in… filth.

Qin Yu noticed at once and, pretending nothing was wrong, said, “Yueyao, I should still take you to meet that Senior Brother in case you doubt me.”

“No need… I believe you, Qin Yu… I, um, need to cultivate… I’ll go first.”

Lin Yueyao forced a smile.

She truly did not want to shun Qin Yu, yet the visual shock and stench were simply too strong.

She would never forget it for the rest of her life.

If Qin Yu had not been dirtied while saving someone, she would not have endured even a moment.

Watching the girl flee, Qin Yu’s face burned, “Master, you really made your disciple suffer!”

“Do not fret, disciple; once I aid you, even celestial maidens will favor you.”

“Really? Thank you, Master.”

Qin Yu finally felt somewhat comforted.

….

The next day.

Ning Bei successfully broke through to the Core Formation realm and felt clear-headed, his body brimming with power as if it had been sublimated.

Reaching Core Formation in his teens was considered monstrously talented in the cultivation world.

Even some Elders of Heavenly Martial Academy were only at the Core Formation level, so one could imagine how monstrous Ning Bei’s strength was at his age.

“Senior Brother Ning, are you there?”

A voice called from outside the gate.

Ning Bei walked out of the courtyard and saw a familiar face. “Zhao Ming? What do you need from me?”

“Senior Brother Ning, I know you don’t get along with Qin Yu,” Zhao Ming stepped forward and smiled meaningfully, “so today I specially brought you something good.”

“Oh?”

Ning Bei focused and saw it was an image stone.

“What is this?”

“Senior Brother Ning, better watch it yourself.”

Zhao Ming showed a strange expression, deliberately keeping him in suspense.

After handing the image stone to Ning Bei, he left laughing.

Back in his room.

The instant Ning Bei activated the image stone, a miserable howl rang out, and the person in the picture was Qin Yu.

Then…

The scene was simply too disgusting.
