Luo Yiyi has always been surprising with her words and this time is no exception.
Marry? Lin He suspected that there was something wrong with his sense of hearing. Does Qin Yu have a marriage contract? When did this happen? Why doesn’t he know?
The corners of Qin Yu’s lips pressed down, “I don’t like Lin Yao, let alone marrying him.”
Lin He breathed a sigh of relief.
“But Lin Yao likes you!”
Lin Yao is the young master of the mermaid clan. Both men and women of their clan can have children and they are a very popular race in the demon world. As Lin Yao is the young master of the clan, many people like him, but he ignores them all and puts all his heart on Qin Yu.
“So?” Qin Yu’s expression was quite flat, “Because he likes me, I should accept him and be with him even if I don’t like him. Luo Yiyi, you are being a little unreasonable.” In the last sentence, his tone was very severe.
After hearing these words, Luo Yiyi froze immediately and she didn’t refute, because she found that her cousin was right. She was indeed making trouble for no reason. Lowering her eyes, Luo Yiyi stared at her shoes, “It’s okay.”
The older Lin Yao is sad, so she will be very sad, but if her cousin is allowed to marry someone he doesn’t love, she will be even more sad. Even if they are together, in the end, it is estimated that they will end up unhappy, alas, “Cousin doesn’t like Lin Yao, so do you like someone else?” But she was still very curious about her cousin’s relationship.
Lin He pricked up his ears with anticipation.
“No.” Qin Yu replied crisply.
Luo Yiyi did not give up, “Is there anyone who makes you a little tempted?”
Qin Yu pondered for a moment, glanced at his hand, moved his fingers slightly and finally closed his eyes and replied, “It’s still the same answer, no. And I have no intention of marrying a wife.”
“Why?”
He repeated what he said to Qin Yuan in Yishu Pavilion, and after he finished speaking, the atmosphere changed instantly. Except for Qin Yu, everyone present was in a different mood as they were more or less affected. For a while, apart from the slight sound of the wind, there was no other sound in the viewing lotus pavilion.
Among them, Lin He was the most affected. As if a bucket of ice water had been poured on his head, Lin He felt that he had entered the cold winter, his limbs, torso and the blood flowing in his body were all cold.
Unlike Jiao Yi and Luo Yiyi, Lin He didn’t focus on pity for Qin Yu, he focused on another matter.
He is tempted by no one.
Lin He repeated this sentence in his heart over and over again, which made him full of resentment and the corner of his sleeve was wrinkled. If Lin He could comfort himself in the past with, Qin Yu definitely didn’t want to express his love for him in front of others, now he can no longer deceive himself.
Because, when he said no, from the beginning to the end, Lin He didn’t notice any fluctuation in Qin Yu’s eyes and his words were decisive. In other words, he is really not tempted. As for Qin Yu not wanting to accept a concubine, Lin He doesn’t care, after all, all he needs is his heart and his love.
But Qin Yu said that he was not tempted. Lin He couldn’t accept it, it turned out that he had been winking at the blind all along! The shyness and timidity he played deliberately when facing him, the other party didn’t take it to heart.
Yes, until now, Lin He still thinks that these emotions he showed towards Qin Yu are the result of his elaborate disguise and those inadvertently shown affections are all deliberately set up by him to lure Qin Yu into the trap, all is fake. As everyone knows, if there are too many fakes, it is possible to become real. Besides, in matters of feelings, who can tell the real from the fake so clearly?
Lin He is now completely immersed in the anger of wasted efforts and he can’t spare the mood to think about these things, and even in a fit of anger, he bit his lips hard.
Feeling the rusty taste on the tip of his tongue, Lin He thought, since Qin Yu has been unmoved by me, don’t blame me for making cruel moves.
***********
“Your Highness, you…” Jiao Yi looked at Qin Yu and hesitated to speak. A few days ago, after learning what Qin Yu said to Qin Yuan, Jiao Yi fell into complicated emotions. He wanted to comfort Qin Yu but he didn’t know what to say. Sometimes he finally organizes his words and wants to speak, but when he faces Qin Yu, he couldn’t speak again.
If I mention it again, will it drag His Highness into the vortex of pain again? he wondered uneasily.
In fact, even if Jiao Yi didn’t open his mouth to speak, Qin Yu could guess what he was thinking, so he gave him a comforting look, “Don’t worry, it’s all over, I won’t care about it anymore. Besides, I still have you, don’t I?”
Me? Jiao Yi was stunned for a moment, as if a feather fell on his heart, it was very light, but enough to make people’s hearts shake.
Seeing that his words had worked, Qin Yu smiled and he stepped forward to pat him on the shoulder, “So, you never have to worry about me.” That young and frail Qin Yu was gone a long time ago, “Still, if you have anything to say in the future, don’t be overly cautious with me.”
Hearing this, Jiao Yi took a step back, bowed and said, “This subordinate is willing to do anything for His Highness.” This is what he wants to say most at this moment.
Unexpectedly, he would hear the other party’s words of loyalty again, Qin Yu raised the corners of his lips, “You!” He didn’t notice how much doting was contained in his tone.
***********
Passing through a waterfall hanging from the sky, and then walking through a forest with sparse flowers and trees and a few quiet paths, Lin He walked to the palace ahead.
This is Yueqing Palace, one of the palaces of Qin He, Prince of the Demon Realm.
Yes, Lin He came to look for Qin He, of course he came in a disguise, after all, there are some times when he cannot be seen.
When Lin He stepped into the gate of the palace, Qin He was sitting in the middle of the main hall, where he could overlook everything in the hall with an absolute posture. He was holding a longsword in his hand. The body of the sword was black and it was quite simple. But when you get closer, you will find that not only does it have nothing to do with the word ‘simple’, but the whole sword reveals a sharp breath, showing its sharpness, which makes people shudder.
“Qin He!” Lin He said in a low voice.
As a result, Qin He didn’t even lift his eyes, as if people didn’t exist at all. He still looked at the sword in his hand and breathed slowly on it. When the crisp sound of the sword sounded in the hall, Qin He then raised his eyelids, glanced at Lin He, who had already shown an impatient expression and said, “Why did Xianjun come to me? Didn’t he stay with my good nephew? I heard that you have become friends.”
Obviously, Qin He knew that it was Lin He who came and he was not afraid of him from the bottom of his heart.
Friend? Lin He snorted coldly, the look in his eyes was not kind. Qin He smiled. He put down his sword, picked up the folding fan on the side, shook it twice and sighed in a pretentious way, “Unfortunately, he is doomed to be disappointed, my poor nephew!” He changed his posture midway , pointing at Lin He with a folding fan, “Speaking of which, you are one of his few friends. The last person who can be called his friend was Xun Ling hundreds of years ago. It’s so pitiful.”
“Is it enough?” Lin He took a step forward, suppressing the unhappiness and the sudden panic in his heart, and looked at Qin He coldly, “If you can really hurt Qin Yu, why bother to let me go and lie to him?”
Qin He’s expression froze and it took a while before he regained his relaxed look. He rubbed the armrest of the main seat and said, “Who made me sit high enough! I really want to change seats.”
He and Qin Xuan thought the same thing, they both wanted the supreme position in the demon world and they both regarded Qin Yu as the first target to get rid of.
The difference is that when Qin Xuan chose to attack Qin Yu first, it was inevitable that he had the complex psychology of pride and jealousy. Qin He was different, he considered much more things than Qin Xuan. Ever since it was found out that the demon queen, that is, Qin Yu’s biological mother, was framed by someone, the demon emperor Qin Yuan collapsed and his health deteriorated day by day. Maybe he won’t have to do anything until the other party hears the news of Qin Yu’s death and passes away.
Furthermore, if he gets rid of Qin Yuan first, Qin Yu will benefit instead, after all, he is the crown prince who can justifiably succeed to the throne. At that time, he will be constrained. So, instead of doing this, it’s better to get rid of Qin Yu from the beginning.
Qin He’s thoughts circulated several times, but it still didn’t show on the surface. Lin He’s lips curled up when he heard this, and he was extremely cold, “Then, in order to achieve your goal as soon as possible and to achieve my goal as soon as possible, you must do me a favor.” He hated Qin He to death, but in order to plan later, he had to act on the spot with him.
“Is there something that Immortal Lin He can’t handle?”
With a sudden twitch between his eyebrows, Lin He said displeased, “I didn’t expect Qin Yu to be so cold-hearted.” Lin He couldn’t admit to his lack of charm so he could only turn his head and say that Qin Yu’s heart is cold, “If you don’t take some measures, I guarantee that you will wait hundreds of years before you can take that position.”
Qin He got up and walked in front of Lin He, “The fairy has said so, what reason do I have for refusing to help?”
Lin He smiled with satisfaction.
********
“You saw someone unfamiliar?” Qin Yu asked the person in front of him, playing with the dagger.
“Yes, my subordinates did see it.” The person who answered was Han Yan who was instigated by Qin Yu as an internal spy. He recalled the situation that day and said, “My subordinates saw him go to Yueqing Palace.”
Qin He has always been suspicious, he has set restrictions in all his palaces, so except for certain people, once other people enter the specified range, their cultivation will be suppressed and teleportation will not work, which just gives him a chance to complete the orders given to him by Qin Yu, and always pay attention to whether there are unfamiliar people around Qin He.
“You did a good job.” Qin Yu praised him, then turned to look at Jiao Yi. Jiao Yi nodded slightly, without Qin Yu saying much, he walked up to Han Yan and said, “Follow me to the treasury, Mr. Han.” The treasury is the place where treasures are stored in Chengming Palace. Jiao Yi knew that Qin Yu had always liked to play both soft and hard ways, paying equal attention to rewards and punishments.
After watching the two leave, Qin Yu also left the secret room. Instead of going back to the study, he turned his head to the Zhaixing Pavilion.
Standing on the Zhaixing Pavilion, looking down, you can have a panoramic view of different sceneries including pavilions, towers, lakes and mountains. Unfortunately, today is not a good day.
Looking at the gloomy sky and the black clouds accumulated together, Qin Yu said softly, “The wind and rain are coming.”
