Why Are All the Fairies Trying To Make Me Fall

Chapter 8

So it is.

After learning that the senior sister was Lin Que’s former Dao companion, Qin Wanyuan was not particularly surprised.

She had already guessed it earlier, and now that Lin Que personally confirmed it, it was directly verified.

Thinking back, when she learned of the senior sister’s death in her previous life, Lin Que appeared calm on the surface, but in the quiet of the night, Qin Wanyuan had seen him sitting alone in the pavilion, gazing at the full moon in the sky, drinking a pot of turbid wine by himself.

He usually didn’t drink much.

Analyzing from the favorability, Lin Que and the senior sister must have had quite a conflict, even a clash, so now the senior sister’s favorability towards Lin Que is marked as indifferent, while Lin Que is wary of her.

“Precisely because she is your former Dao companion, I think I should meet her,” Qin Wanyuan said to Lin Que against her will.

“Why?” Lin Que was puzzled.

“Because I’m curious about what kind of woman Lin Lang’s ex is.”

This was true. Since the task had already begun, she could take this opportunity to learn about Lin Que’s past.

“Uh… In that case, why don’t you visit her alone? I’m just an ordinary inner disciple, I really can’t reach that high…” Lin Que scratched his nose awkwardly.

“But you are my Dao companion.” Qin Wanyuan finished speaking, then gently hooked Lin Que’s sleeve with her fingertip, slightly lowered her head, her cheeks slightly red, and her tone carried a bit of coquettishness: “Accompany me, okay?”

A perfect and gentle Dao companion acting coquettishly and making a willful request, who could bear to refuse?

Lin Que certainly couldn’t.

Moreover, seeing how much Qin Wanyuan cared about their intimacy last night, she was probably a bit insecure, so she wanted to see what his ex was like.

More importantly, now that Qin Wanyuan seemed to have been reborn or had some kind of foresight ability, it was understandable that she would do things differently than usual.

Maybe this seemingly simple visit had a deeper meaning, possibly to deal with a future crisis.

So Lin Que decided to cooperate with her.

“Alright, since you said so, even if it’s a dragon’s lair or a tiger’s den, I’ll accompany you.” Lin Que exhaled a breath of turbid air, putting on a look of accompanying his wife to death.

It had been five years since the breakup, and now meeting again, she should have calmed down and wouldn’t be like before…

Actually, Lin Que was somewhat apprehensive.

The relationship between him and Jiang Moqing was not something that could be explained in a few words, and there were many dark histories he didn’t want to talk about.

For example, back then, he was imprisoned in Jiang Moqing’s cave mansion, who had a strong possessiveness, and was squeezed day and night… This kind of thing was really unspeakable.

After breakfast, Qin Wanyuan went to the kitchen to take the extra breakfast Lin Que had prepared and brought it to Qin Qian’er’s door.

Seeing her younger sister crying like this, Qin Wanyuan finally softened, but she did not regret the few slaps she gave her last night. She gently stroked her sister’s cheek.

Although she didn’t hit lightly last night, she didn’t use her spiritual energy either. With Qin Qian’er’s physique, she would recover in a quarter of an hour, leaving no injuries.

“Does it still hurt?”

Qin Qian’er shook her head.

“Can sister come in?” Qin Wanyuan asked again.

Qin Qian’er didn’t speak, silently making way to give her sister space.

Her room was very simple, with nothing superfluous, everything neatly arranged. The two sisters sat by the bed, and breakfast was placed on a small table beside them.

“Eat while it’s hot. This is spiritual food, good for your cultivation.” After Qin Wanyuan finished speaking, Qin Qian’er picked up her chopsticks and started eating in small bites.

After a moment of silence, Qin Wanyuan asked Qin Qian’er:

“Do you hate sister?”

“No.”

It was only then that Qin Qian’er spoke, her voice a bit hoarse, “Sister is the best person in the world to me, and my only relative. How could I hate you?”

“The one I hate… is someone else.”

Even though she was disciplined last night, she still hadn’t let go of her dislike for Lin Que, and she didn’t hide it in front of Qin Wanyuan.

“The breakfast you’re eating was made by Lin Lang himself.” Qin Wanyuan said lightly.

The next second, Qin Qian’er directly threw the entire plate of breakfast away.

Of course, the spiritual food that was thrown was all stopped in mid-air by Qin Wanyuan’s delicate hand, and then she hooked her finger, and the spiritual food flew back to its original place, restored.

With a sigh, Qin Wanyuan asked Qin Qian’er in confusion, “Qian’er, why do you have such a strong aversion to Lin Lang?”

In both her past and present lives, she couldn’t understand where Qin Qian’er’s aversion to Lin Que came from. From the first meeting, Qin Qian’er disliked Lin Que, and no amount of mediation worked.

“Because that villain… got sister through despicable means!” Qin Qian’er gritted her teeth, her red eyes filled with anger.

“Despicable means? What do you mean?” Qin Wanyuan blinked, very puzzled.

“I saw it. Sister only submitted to that villain to cure my illness. It’s all my fault… If it weren’t for me, sister wouldn’t have to wrong herself like this.”

As Qin Qian’er spoke, tears once again fell uncontrollably.

She had been weak and sickly since childhood. After the Qin family was exterminated, the two sisters wandered the streets, surviving only because of Qin Wanyuan’s care, even stepping onto the path of immortality.

This is why the sisters entered the sect at the same time, but Qin Qian’er’s cultivation was only at the foundation-building stage.

Back then, an elder of the Sword Inquiry Sect, who was traveling outside, saw Qin Wanyuan’s potential for cultivation and, seeing she had no one to rely on, extended an olive branch, inviting her to join the sect.

Qin Wanyuan understood that once she entered the immortal sect, it would be like a deep sea, but continuing to wander the streets, Qin Qian’er’s illness would only be temporarily alleviated, eventually leading to her death.

Only by entering the immortal sect could she possibly find a way to cure her sister’s illness.

So she agreed to join the Sword Inquiry Sect, but on the condition that she could bring her sister along.

The elder readily agreed, as having a sick sister as leverage made it easier to control Qin Wanyuan, and thus cultivate her into a trusted confidant.

Thus, Qin Wanyuan officially joined the Wenjian Sect. Due to her exceptional talent, she was directly accepted as an inner disciple, enjoying preferential treatment.

However, after she entered the sect, it wasn’t just the elder who brought her in that coveted her. Many wealthy or influential disciples also desired her.

They all used the promise of curing her sister as a bargaining chip to make Qin Wanyuan stay in their abodes.

Among them was a man named Lin Que.

At least, from Qin Qian’er’s perspective, that was the truth.

Yes, Qin Qian’er’s illness was indeed cured by Lin Que, but she not only didn’t thank him, she even loathed him for this reason.

One night, shortly after the sisters joined the sect, Qin Qian’er peeked through a crack in the door and saw Lin Que talking to her sister in the courtyard.

She still remembers what Lin Que said at that time.

“I’ve examined Qin Qian’er’s illness. Although it has been treated, the treatments only address the symptoms, not the root cause. The medication used was crude and didn’t find the real cause of the illness. It will only get worse with continued use. If it drags on for another six months, even immortals won’t be able to cure it.”

“The so-called bargaining chips others offer to cure the illness are fake. I can assert that only I in the entire Wenjian Sect can cure your sister’s illness.”

“You ask what the price is? Let me think. Just come to my abode, look at the moon, and chat with me. Don’t worry, I won’t do anything other than look at the moon. As for the consultation fee, you can pay it later when you have money.”

“You don’t believe such a good thing exists and think I have ulterior motives? Then let it be so. After your sister’s illness is cured, come to my abode and obey my commands for one night without resistance.”

“Sister, you don’t want your sister’s illness to get worse, do you?”
