Chapter 48: Confession

  Lin Qingyu was extremely disheartened and walked back to the Beile Mansion with her head hung low in a listless manner.

  Standing outside her own courtyard, Lin Qingyu glanced around with a scowl on her face and a hint of mischief in her eyes before continuing to walk into the house with a dejected air.

  Inside the house, Yongzheng was holding a book and reading. Hearing footsteps, his line of sight shifted slightly, and he saw someone who seemed to be a rabbit with droopy ears coming in, and his mouth twitched involuntarily.

  What's she up to now? She used to avoid him, but now she's changed her tune again?

  Yin Zan naturally knew that someone had been avoiding him recently. He guessed that she probably found out about his soul body and discovered her secret when he woke up, so she would look at him with a complicated gaze before avoiding him.

  He didn't know why she was so sure that she had seen it, but he didn't want to force her, so he just let her figure it out for herself.

  "Cough..."

  Lin Qingyu suddenly lifted her head and saw Yongzheng sitting in front of the window, looking at her. Their eyes met, and his gaze seemed to be asking, "What happened to you? You went out for a while and came back like this?" Don't ask how Yongzheng knew; it's a secret. So, that enigmatic smile was just Lin Qingyu's imagination! For some reason, she felt a little guilty, and her eyes began to wander.

  "You... cough... grandfather... How are you here?" Lin Qingyu asked, trying to cover up her own guilt.

  Yin Zan put down the book in his hand, stared straight at Lin Qingyu, and didn't stop until she was covered in goosebumps. Then he said, "What? Can't I be here? Hmm?"

  Lin Qingyu heard Yun Chen's 'frosty' tone, which was both intimidating and threatening, and immediately perked up, fawningly saying: "How could that be? The entire Beile Mansion is yours, of course you can go wherever you want."

  That dog's leg is really miserable and unbearable, it makes one want to cover their face.

  At this moment, even someone as good at controlling their expressions as Yongzheng couldn't help but have his eyebrows and mouth twitching nonstop. Of course, it might also be because he felt relaxed in front of Lin Qingyu and didn't think it was necessary to specially conceal his expression.

  Yin Zhen gave Lin Qingyu a disgusted look and said, "Is that so? But, I feel like you're being very insincere. And what's with that expression of yours?"

  "Yes, absolutely true!"

  Lin Qing's eyes sparkled with sincerity as she blinked repeatedly, trying to convey her genuine intentions through her gaze. Her expression was so sincere that it seemed to say: "This is my reverent expression for you, Master. Don't you like it?"

  His throat was stuck for a moment, and he was speechless. He had never known that his own wife had such a thick skin. It's really...

  "Father, you must be thirsty! I'll go pour you some tea right away."

  "Ah... no need..." Yi Zhen thought he didn't want any, Grandfather wasn't thirsty. But before the words were out of his mouth, Lin Qingyu had already quickly poured water and placed it in front of him.

  Well, this guy actually used his great skills for a small task, using his lightness skill to pour a cup of tea.

  If this were to be seen by the so-called masters in the martial arts world, they would definitely drown her with a single mouthful of saliva. Even if she had a thick skin that could withstand it, they would still try to drown her.

  Lin Qingyu thought to herself that since most of the horse's hooves were already exposed, she might as well use a bit more qinggong to get out. Anyway, she had planned to tell Yongzheng about her cultivation today.

  After all, he is currently the only candidate. In this way, as long as he builds his foundation, it won't take long to advance to the middle stage of building his foundation, and there will be no bottleneck at all.

  As for afterwards, after the middle of the foundation-building period?

  Lin Qingyu thought of this and finally recovered from her depression, sincerely saying that she was no longer in a hurry at all!

  There's an old saying that goes: "When the boat reaches the bridgehead, it will naturally go straight!" Moreover, there is also the biggest head of the royal family and the eight dragons as a spare tire. At least, she can be promoted to the Yuan Ying period.

  By the time of Yuan Ying, according to legend, Lin Qingyu knew that by then, he could go to Xiūzhēnjiè through the transmission array. Xiūzhēnjiè, how vast is it? Compared with Earth, it's simply incomparable, just like one is a star in the sky and the other is a grain of sand on the ground. At that time, will there still be a lack of people?

  However, what's most important right now is to let bygones be bygones with a certain someone who has been sneaking around.

  She knew that someone had a vengeful personality. Although he was now a cultivator, he couldn't be his opponent! However, with someone's personality, it was likely to be remembered firmly in his heart.

  Of course, she can leave someone and with her Cultivator identity, be free and unfettered, roaming wherever she pleases!

  But just thinking about leaving and maybe never seeing him again, the thought of it is like a sharp pain in her heart. Maybe she really has fallen in love with him!

  Although he doesn't match his ideal partner at all. Not only does he have three wives and four concubines, but there is also a gap between the two people across different eras.

  But having fallen in love is just that - having fallen in love! Lin Qingyu couldn't deny this fact at all.

  There's a saying that goes: Life is like , you can't resist it, so just enjoy it. So, if she has fallen in love with this person, then she will try her best to train him into the kind of person she imagines, and that's it.

  Yin Zan looked at the teacup that Lin Qingyu had forcibly put in his hand, with big drops of sweat on his forehead, falling one by one.

  It wasn't easy, but Yongzheng finally calmed his turbulent emotions. Looking at his wife Fucha who was lost in thought, he let out a soft chuckle.

  Lin Qingyu was startled awake by the soft laughter, looking at Yongzheng's slightly raised corners of his mouth, suddenly having a fuzzy feeling as if he had been calculated. "Ah, waiting for someone who doesn't know where they went, reading books for too long, my neck is a bit sore!"

  Upon hearing this, Lin Qingyu's small face scrunched up in a ball, but seeing the threat in Yongzheng's eyes, she gritted her teeth in hatred. However, the voice that came out was laced with a hint of sweetness. "Master, I'm skilled at massage! Would you like me to give you a rubdown?"

  "Hmm!" Yongzheng glanced at Lin Qingyu lightly, then closed his eyes slightly, waiting calmly for Lin Qingyu's service.

  Lin Qingyu twitched the corner of her mouth, restrained the urge to hit someone, took two deep breaths, and slowly calmed down, step by step moving towards Tan Chu.

  Unfortunately, no matter how slow her movements were and how small the steps she took, the distance between her and Yongzheng was only three or four meters. Before long, she had reached behind him and stretched out her plump hands to give the Fourth Master a massage.

  "What kind of strength is this? Are you scratching an itch? Use some force!"

  "Yes!"

  "A bit heavier."

  "Yes!"

  "Grandpa's body is made of flesh, not stone, why use so much force?"

  "Yes!"

  "Not just right, but also left!"

  ……

  When Lin Qingyu's hands and legs were soft, Su Peisheng's sharp voice outside the door reported 'Is it time to pass on the meal?' suddenly entered Lin Qingyu's ears like heavenly music, giving her a kind of rescued happy feeling!

  Yin Zan had already strolled to the gate when Lin Qingyu was distracted. He turned back and said, "What are you still standing there for? Aren't you hungry?"

  "Oh! I'm starving! So hungry! You see......" Lin Qingyu was afraid that Yongzheng wouldn't believe her, so she walked out while pointing to her own stomach, letting Yongzheng take a look at the sunken belly, to show that she wasn't lying.

  When he came out, Lin Qingyu gave Su Peisheng a very grateful look.

  Unfortunately, the person in question not only didn't take the hint but also looked flustered. In fact, Su Peisheng had no idea what his wife was getting at and was completely baffled.

  After dinner, Lin Qingyu and Yunzhong had a secret conversation in the study.

  After listening to Lin Qingyu's account, of course, it was only an account of what happened after she fainted and received the inheritance! Yun Chen fell silent for a moment before saying, "So to speak, can I also cultivate my true self?"

  "Right! This is an extremely rare Golden Attribute Tianling Root!"

  "Spirit root?"

  "Cultivating truth is not just about having a method, it requires having a spiritual root! And spiritual roots..."

  Lin Qingyu took a sip of tea and explained to Yongzheng what Linggen was.

  "What kind of spiritual root are you?"

  "This... Hehe..." Lin Qingyu scratched his head, embarrassed, and said: "It's the Five Spirits Root! Only with the Five Spirits Root can one meet the conditions for space recognition. After all, the five elements support each other, which is very important for advancing in space."

  Seeing Xuan Yan nodding in understanding, Lin Qingyu thought of the flattery from that afternoon and, with a twist of her mind, smiled slyly: "In the Cultivation Realm, strength is everything. Whoever has higher cultivation is the senior. So, from now on, Master, I'll teach you how to cultivate! Come, call me 'Master' and listen..."

  "Shi jie" two words, Lin Qingyu especially emphasized the tone.

  "Cough... it's late at night, time to settle down!" Yongzheng covered his mouth and coughed a few times, "By the way, regarding today, the Fourth Imperial Concubine actually sneaked out onto the streets, punishment is to copy the Diamond Sutra one hundred times! Two days later, I will inspect."

  Wuuu... Lin Qingyu really felt like crying when she heard that.

  Is she easy to get along with? If it weren't for the sake of avoiding trouble from the head of the Beile estate, would she have to spend the whole afternoon flattering him so obsequiously? Why can't he just turn a blind eye and let her off? Is it really that hard to spare herself? And yet she still has to go through the trouble of teaching him how to cultivate his true self. Alas, why doesn't he know that one should not take advantage of others' kindness? It's really infuriating~~

  Indeed, with the surname Aixinjueluo
