Chapter 51: Fiancée’s parents arrive? A slap the moment they show up

A long time later.

Qin Jiujiu hugged Ning Bei from behind, pressed half her pretty face against his back, and asked, “Will you one day grow tired of me and cast me aside?”

“Hm?”

Ning Bei had not expected someone of her status to worry about such a thing, so he teased, “Don’t talk nonsense; a girl as wonderful as you… give me two more and I still won’t find it too many.”

“Ayah~”

Qin Jiujiu suddenly sat up, her cheeks still flushed as she puckered her lips, “You’re terrible!”

“But do you like it?”

“I do~”

With that, Qin Jiujiu bent down again and slipped into Ning Bei’s arms from the front.

She had fallen completely in love.

While Ning Bei gently caressed the girl’s smooth skin, he suddenly thought of something and said, “We’d better be careful, in case we really make a life.”

“Hm?”

Qin Jiujiu blinked her long lashes, and after understanding Ning Bei’s meaning, she shyly bit her lip, “It’s okay…I’ll give you a child!”

“Oh?”

Surprise lifted the corners of Ning Bei’s mouth.

Especially when he saw the shy girl’s face sparkling with expectation, as if she already pictured the bliss of motherhood.

In that instant, he knew he had truly won the girl’s heart.

The little sister of the reincarnated Great Emperor protagonist!

Somewhere else.

“Yueyao, how much longer are you going to wait?”

Qin Yu asked in boredom.

Ever since Ning Bei and Qin Jiujiu entered the room, Lin Yueyao had stood outside like someone ready to catch adulterers.

Of course, she no longer had the right to do that.

Lin Yueyao frowned slightly and asked, “Qin Yu, what do you think they’ve been doing in there for so long?”

“What else? Cultivating!”

Qin Yu shrugged.

Although he no longer dared call himself Qin Jiujiu’s elder brother, he still felt he understood her well.

Surely they were not making a baby, right?

The idea alone made Qin Yu laugh.

Given his slow-to-warm-up sister, the fact that she agreed to be with Ning Bei was already earth-shattering, so she would never tolerate him crossing any lines.

At most they held hands…or maybe stole a kiss.

Lin Yueyao agreed; back when she dated Ning Bei, he had been as timid as a raw recruit.

He had not even dared take her hand.

It was impossible that switching to Qin Jiujiu had suddenly turned Ning Bei into a different man.

She was hardly lacking in charm herself.

“Yueyao, when will your parents arrive?” Qin Yu asked, changing the subject.

Right now he eagerly awaited Lin Yueyao’s parents’ appearance.

The conflict between Ning Bei and Lin Yueyao had happened at Heavenly Martial Academy, and neither set of parents knew yet.

According to Lin Yueyao, Ning Bei respected her parents greatly and obeyed their every word.

If her parents showed up to mediate, Ning Bei would not directly refuse them for the sake of courtesy.

He might even get back together with Lin Yueyao.

Although Qin Yu did not want to see that happen, his image in Lin Yueyao’s heart was already ruined… and Ning Bei had even stolen his sister.

After thinking it over, he decided exposing Ning Bei and Qin Jiujiu mattered more, so he offered this idea to Lin Yueyao.

“They should be here soon!”

Lin Yueyao bit her lip.

Speak of the devil.

A junior sister suddenly ran over and said, “Senior Sister Lin, a couple outside claim to be your parents and insist on barging into our inn.”

“Where are they?”

Hearing this, Qin Yu looked even more anxious than Lin Yueyao.

“Senior Brother Wang stopped them outside; they’re still arguing, so I rushed over to check whether it’s true,” the junior sister explained.

“Ridiculous! Those are Yueyao’s parents!”

Qin Yu panicked and said to Lin Yueyao, “Yueyao, let’s hurry out and greet Uncle and Auntie.”

“…Alright.”

Lin Yueyao found it a little strange but had no time to think.

She had clearly told her parents to bring Ning Bei’s parents along so they could pressure him into leaving Qin Jiujiu; so why would anyone dare stop them?

Could those guards actually be disrespecting Ning Bei’s parents?

When they reached the gate, her confusion vanished…because only her parents were there.

Where were Ning Bei’s parents?

“What are you doing?”

“These are Yueyao’s parents… move aside!”

Qin Yu spoke first as soon as he arrived.

Since it was his first time meeting Lin Yueyao’s parents, he naturally wanted to make a good impression.

Wang Teng and Zhao Ming were unmoved and said, “What’s this got to do with you? Get lost.”

Under the couple’s gaze, Qin Yu’s face flushed as he protested, “We’re all fellow disciples; why be so rude to another disciple’s parents?”

Before Wang Teng could retort, Bai Yuqin, who spotted her daughter, could not hold back and said, “That’s my daughter; can’t I see her?”

“Yueyao, we’re over here.”

Lin Donglai waved as well.

Lin Yueyao hurried to her parents and said to Wang Teng and the others, “These are my parents; I’d like to bring them inside.”

“No.”

Wang Teng and Zhao Ming refused on the spot.

“Why not?” Bai Yuqin flared up and complained, “You said you weren’t sure of our identity, but Yueyao is here now…is this how Heavenly Martial Academy targets people?”

“We’re not targeting anyone; the rules are the same for all.”

Wang Teng looked at Lin Yueyao calmly and said, “Lin Yueyao, you know the academy’s regulations, don’t you?”

“I…”

Lin Yueyao faltered, unsure how to argue.

The rules for this outing indeed forbade disciples from lodging family members in the academy’s inn.

It protected safety and kept troublemakers out.

Those were the written rules, but in practice fellow disciples usually made allowances for one another.

They did not cling to the letter of the law.

Yet Lin Yueyao knew full well that Wang Teng and the others refused because she had fallen out with Ning Bei.

Otherwise they would have shown courtesy.

“Yueyao, is that true?” Bai Yuqin asked, unwilling to believe it, “Tell me, are they picking on us on purpose?”

Before Lin Yueyao could reply, Zhao Ming said first, “I already told you… we’re not singling anyone out; academy rules apply to everyone.”

“So it really is a rule.”

Lin Donglai tugged Bai Yuqin’s sleeve and whispered a reminder.

As a man, he did not want things to turn ugly.

Just then, an attractive couple walked over arm in arm; after glancing at Lin Donglai and his wife, they asked Wang Teng and the others, “Excuse us, is this the inn where Heavenly Martial Academy is staying?”

“And you are…?”

Judging by their bearing, Wang Teng and the others inquired politely.

“Uncle Ning, Auntie Liu.”

Upon seeing them, Lin Yueyao hurried forward with a forced smile and greeting.

The couple were Ning Bei’s father Ning Conghua and his mother Liu Yajuan.

“Ah, in-laws.”

Lin Donglai and Bai Yuqin also rushed to flatter them, “The academy’s threshold is too high; they won’t even let us in to see the kids.”

…

Ning Conghua and Liu Yajuan ignored their pleasantries.

From the conversation, Wang Teng and the others guessed something and asked, “Uncle, Auntie, are you Senior Brother Ning’s parents?”

“Yes, we are Ning Bei’s parents,” Ning Conghua replied with a smile.

In the next instant, Wang Teng and the others’ attitude changed completely.

“Oh, Uncle, Auntie, why didn’t you tell us you were coming? We would have gone out to welcome you!”

“Come in, Uncle Ning, please… let me make you some tea.”

…

In a flash every elder and disciple at the gate became exceptionally cordial, escorting Ning Conghua and his wife inside.

Lin Donglai: “???”

Bai Yuqin: “???”

At that moment, the Lin couple felt as if someone had slapped them in the face.

When they tried to follow, they were stopped again: “You can’t go in… just stay at the door and chat with your daughter!”
