Chapter Twenty-One: Whispers

  Qu Yue didn't smoke, seeing Ling Jing enter the house and staring at her all along, she smiled and said: "Ling big brother, why are you always staring at people? People are only 14 years old." As she spoke, she made a shy appearance.

  Ling Jing coughed dryly twice, and instantly retreated. He knew that this girl was precocious, able to tease Yu Canghai in front of a crowd of martial arts masters, and yet she wouldn't just blush because he looked at her. This was clearly a trick played on him.

  He smiled helplessly and turned his head, but found Yilin's face was somewhat abnormal.

  Yi Lin entered the house and saw a large bed in the room, with an embroidered quilt and pillow on it. The famous Xiang embroidery was renowned throughout the world, and the bright red quilt had a pair of mandarin ducks playing in the water, their colors shining brightly, as if they were alive.

  Yi Lin had been a nun at the White Cloud Temple since childhood, and was covered with coarse linen quilts. In her life, she had never seen such luxurious bedding, and only glanced at it before turning her head away. On the table, a red candle was lit, next to which was a bright mirror and a dressing box. On the floor in front of the bed were two pairs of embroidered slippers, one pair for men and one pair for women, placed side by side.

  Yi Lin's heart skipped a beat, she lifted her head and saw a blushing face in front of her, looking shy and embarrassed, with a hint of awkwardness and surprise, it was her own reflection in the mirror.

  Ling Jing stared blankly at Yi Lin, who was originally breathtakingly beautiful. Even with her hair disheveled, it was hard to conceal her stunning looks. But now, the beauty looked timid and wanted to cover up in shame. The candlelight shining on her face added a touch of enchantment. When had he ever seen Yi Lin reveal such a demure and girlish demeanor? A flash of astonishment flickered across his heart.

  Yi Lin caught a glimpse of Ling Jing's gaze, feeling both excited and intimidated, she slightly lowered her head, unsure of what to do for the moment.

  Ling Jing also felt a bit awkward at this time, so he turned his head to Qu Feiyan and said: "Little sister, I don't know where my big brother is, please tell me."

  At this time, a maidservant with a seductive figure and elegant demeanor walked in from outside the door, serving fragrant tea to several people. However, upon seeing a nun among them covering her mouth and giggling softly, she twisted her waist and retreated.

  Ling Jing thought to himself that this woman must be the madam of this brothel, which wasn't too surprising. But when had Yilin ever seen a woman like this? He thought to himself: "This woman is putting on airs, she's definitely not a good person."

  She asked Qu Feiyan: "Fei Fei, what is this place? Will Linghu big brother really be here?"

  Qu Yue's eyes sparkled as she smiled and said: "This place is called 'Group Jade Garden', sister, you probably don't know, but I wonder if Brother Ling has been here before?"

  Ling Jing smiled wryly and said, "Little sister, don't joke with me. Our sect's rules are very strict, how could I dare to set foot in this place?"

  Qu Nai's eyes lit up, and he exclaimed, "Huh? Has Big Brother Ling already figured out what this place is?" The three of them had entered the Jade Garden through a side door, and although they were still some distance from the main hall, somehow Ling Jing had seen through their intentions.

  Listening to their conversation, Yilin was still puzzled and asked: "Ling Shidi, what is this place of Jade Garden?"

  Ling Jing awkwardly rubbed his nose, only because of Yi Lin's innocent and naive appearance, with eyes as clear as a pool of clear water, like the purest jade in the world. He really didn't know how to start, so he coughed twice before saying: "This 'Group Jade Garden'... uh, it's just that..."

  Yi Lin slightly tilted her head, looking at him with a puzzled expression in her eyes.

  Ling Jing couldn't help but laugh awkwardly, feeling even more embarrassed. Just then, Qu Feiyan burst out laughing and said: "Haha, you two are really interesting, what's with the awkwardness? This Yu Yuan is just a brothel, what's the big deal telling Yi Lin sister?"

  Yi Lin heard the two words "brothel", her heart skipped a beat, and she almost fainted.

  She had seen the decorations in this house and had a bad feeling, but she never thought it was a brothel. Although she didn't quite understand what a brothel was, she had heard from her fellow female students that prostitutes were the most depraved women in the world, and any man with money could ask them to accompany him.

  What if Master finds out I came here? My heart was in a hurry and I almost cried.

  At this moment, she felt her right hand fall into a warm place. Turning her head, she saw Ling Jing looking at her with a gentle face and a warm smile, while her right hand was lightly held in his palm.

  In an instant, her pretty face turned bright red, and she felt a burning sensation on both cheeks, with her whole body feeling hot and dry.

  She grew up in Hengshan since childhood, and all the people she came into contact with were women. Even when speaking to men, it was extremely rare. But now, she had made such intimate movements with Ling Jing, feeling deeply embarrassed in her heart, yet also somewhat happy and afraid. For a moment, her emotions were complicated, but she didn't immediately pull her hand back.

  The room was suddenly filled with a subtle atmosphere, and at first, Ling Jing only suddenly found that Yi Lin's face turned pale, her eyes already had tears, knowing she was scared by Qu Fei Yan, without thinking, he grasped her jade hand.

  Yi Lin's hand was held in his palm, soft and boneless, smooth and delicate, to the point where he didn't even dare to use a little force, fearing that if he wasn't careful, he would hurt her small hand.

  At this time, Yilin looked shy and timid, the candlelight flickering between them, adding to her beauty. He couldn't help but feel a strange emotion rising in his heart.

  The tune is not smoke, a pair of lively eyes darting back and forth between the two, suddenly giggling: "Shameless, others are still standing here, you two dare to be affectionate in front of me?"

  Yi Lin's face turned red with embarrassment, and she hastily pulled her right hand out of Ling Jing's grasp. "You're talking nonsense again," she scolded. "Take us to see Leng Fox Gege quickly."

  Ling Jing touched his nose, and he only felt a faint fragrance in his hand that did not dissipate. He knew it was the scent on Yi Lin's body. A surge of excitement rose up in his heart, and he found it strange that he would have such feelings for a nun.

  Qu Naiyin hummed softly and walked to the bedside, stretched out her hand and pushed against the eastern wall, whereupon a door creaked open lightly; it turned out that there was a secret door on this wall.

  She beckoned to the two of them, and Yilin walked over with her head down, not daring to look at Ling Jing again. When she reached the door of the secret room, however, she still didn't hear any movement behind her, so she had no choice but to turn around and look at Ling Jing timidly, saying in a low voice: "Ling Shidi, aren't you coming in?"

  Ling Jing smiled slightly at her, this little nun was always easy to blush, and it was quite lovely, but he had just discovered that there were two old mice on the roof of the house, and if they weren't removed first, his heart would be uneasy.

  Qu Fei's eyes moved slightly, as if she had already understood Ling Jing's plan. She pulled Yi Lin and said: "Sister, let's go in quickly. Leng Feng has been seriously injured. If you don't give him the 'Tian Xiang Duan Xu Jiao' soon, he might really die."

  Yi Lin listened to her and felt a bit anxious. After glancing at Ling Jing, she followed Qu Feiyan into the secret passage.

  The door of the secret room closed lightly, and Ling Jing suddenly smiled coldly. Unexpectedly, the three of them had been careful all along, but they were still being followed. It seemed that these two old mice had already set their sights on them at the Liu residence.

  He paused for a moment, unfolding his body. Although he had not fully recovered from his injuries, he had first used the healing sacred medicine of the Hengshan Sect and then been directly treated by the system for 70% of his injuries. At this moment, if he wanted to take action to get rid of the two old mice, it was still possible.

  He saw him leap out of the room window, his left hand patted on the windowsill, and his body borrowed a force to climb onto the roof.

  At this time, the voice of the system sounded in his mind.

  "The host triggers the role's built-in martial arts, and the second layer of the talent tree "Huashan Lightness Skill" is lit up in advance, with a progress of 3/4."

  "The talent points spent on lighting up this talent will not be included in the total talent points used in the talent tree."

  He had already anticipated that the system would make such a move, after all, he had experienced "Huashan Neigong" before, and this time he wouldn't be surprised. He drew his sword and began to walk on the roof, and soon saw two black shadows standing at both ends of the house, monitoring the movements below.
