Becoming the Villainess: I Dominate the Cultivation Realm with My Wok!-Chapter 172:

During his stay at the guesthouse in Qingshan County, Lin Qing vaguely felt that Chen Muxue’s gaze at him seemed off.

Today was no exception!

Chen Muxue glanced up and down at Lin Qing, thinking to herself, "This guy hangs around the heroine all day and even opposes Xiao Feng. Xiao Feng’s in such a state, yet he’s still living so carefree..."

Lin Qing sensed her gaze and sighed inwardly. "Ah, truly one gets acquainted through a fight. Although the two of us have crossed paths a fair amount, unfortunately, my heart already belongs to Shi’er. Now, Chen has taken a liking to me—it’s truly my fault!"

Being too outstanding can be quite the hassle sometimes!

However, the Immortal Sect disciple always following Chen can compete with me a bit, but what exactly is up with the other person?

Though he has some poise, that impoverished appearance is quite unsightly. It’s rare to see superior dual Spirit Roots, but judging by age, he should be similar to me, yet he remains at Foundation Establishment.

Chen fetched someone like this to make me jealous and uncomfortable, but he’s still far off.

As Lin Qing pondered, a trace of smugness appeared on his face.

Chen Muxue looked left, right, up, and down, unable to understand his smugness, so she asked, "Why is Lin here?"

"Oh, our Liuyun Sect will never shy away from investigating the Demon Clan. We’ve recently detected traces of that black Qi here, so we’re here for a look."

Lin Qing, while cupping his hands, made a point of keeping his distance from Chen Muxue, since his heart belongs to Shi’er; it’s best not to leave room for others to speculate.

Chen Muxue turned to Chu Wuyi: "I wonder, can Young Master Chu trust Liuyun Sect? This is Lin Qing, Inner Chamber Disciple of the Sixth Elder from Liuyun Sect."

Chu Wuyi bowed to Lin Qing: "Young Master Lin."

His action was distinctly more polished, maintaining an air without diminishing his own demeanor, which inexplicably made people feel pleasant and refreshed. His first impression skyrocketed.

Lin Qing froze for a moment, surprised at how someone ordinary in cultivation could be so strict in etiquette. No wonder he’s someone Chen favors, who can compete with me.

After all, as the Sixth Elder’s chief disciple in Liuyun Sect, besides cultivation, I’m renowned for my genteel demeanor. It seems I’ve met a formidable opponent.

Interesting how someone who appears impoverished can have such excellent posture. Could he be from, one of those places of revelry?

He’s heard there are places that specifically train pretty faces in this regard, letting guests experience noble airs... Ahem.

Didn’t expect men to be there as well, those places must have inventive business!

But saying so, Chen’s been mining people from such places?!

Lin Qing was utterly startled, shivering slightly. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

"Is it cold?" Cen Lizhui watched him curiously, looking around.

Lin Qing glanced at Cen Lizhui again, unable to see that ethereal Immortal Sect disciple aura, making one suspicious when the master said he’s an Immortal Sect disciple—was it deceit? But his cultivation was profound; Lin couldn’t discern his level...

Lin Qing was enlightened: one surpasses him in cultivation, another surpasses him in demeanor. Chen expended much thought just to distress him!

Unexpectedly touched!

Chen Muxue glanced around; the three faced each other, each with a baffled expression.

What’s Lin Qing’s problem?! Why suddenly so sentimental?

"Forget it, let’s ignore him and take a look first..." Chen Muxue felt eerie, quickly pulling the two to inspect the cabin.

Realizing he’s realizing, hence bashful! Lin Qing followed after.
