Second Week, I’m Really Not A Villain

Chapter 44: Tian Wenjing, I XXX!

Fulin had experienced countless storms and waves in his life, so he wouldn't be provoked by a little girl. He calmly took out the Master's Token and said, "We were invited by the Master to come here. Please inform the Master on our behalf."

Tian Wenjing's gaze fell on the token in his hand, and her arrogant expression changed. She asked suspiciously, "Are you the infamous Qin Luo?"

Fulin: "..."

Qin Luo was a bit speechless. He felt that this girl's eyes were definitely problematic. Since you've heard of my reputation, how could I possibly be an old man?

"My young master is in the carriage."

Tian Wenjing followed Fulin's gaze and looked at Qin Luo, who had his head sticking out of the carriage. Suddenly, she realized, "I knew it, Qin Wude's stupid son, how could he be older than him?"

Qin Luo: "??"

Tian Wenjing, I know you're not well-behaved, but this is our first meeting, and you're insulting me like this in front of me?

Do you really think I don't dare to say those three words to you?

"Tian Wenjing, I... your mother, is she in the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion?" Qin Luo abruptly changed his tone and asked.

After all, this time he came to cultivate the Heavenly Evolution Art, which was a favor from others. It was inappropriate to speak so casually.

Tian Wenjing was surprised by his words and her expression changed. "You know me?!"

Qin Luo calmly said, "If you've heard of me, then of course I've heard of you. Master Xiao only has one daughter."

"That's true..."

Tian Wenjing nodded and agreed with this statement. Then, she looked at Qin Luo with a strange gaze.

"My mother just told me that you can enter the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion, but your servant who came with you cannot come in. He must stay outside."

Fulin was very aware that the Heavenly Evolution Art was a secret that must not be passed on. Qin Qingyue's favor could only allow Qin Luo to cultivate alone. Xiao Meiying would never allow him to watch.

"Alright, I'll wait here, young master."

Saying that, Fulin calmly gave Qin Luo a look, indicating for him to be at ease.

Qin Luo hesitated for a moment. He still trusted Qin Qingyue. Since he was arranged to come here by Qin Qingyue, there shouldn't be any danger here.

Moreover, although he had almost been taken advantage of by Tian Wenjing in the game, that was because he had snatched the little emperor and undermined her first. Now, he and the little emperor were complete strangers, so Tian Wenjing had no reason to deal with him.

Thinking of this, Qin Luo had no more concerns. He followed Tian Wenjing's lead and stepped into the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion.

The interior of the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion was very spacious. In the center of the main hall, there was an incense burner. After entering, Qin Luo didn't see anyone other than Tian Wenjing.

"Please have a seat."

Tian Wenjing pointed to the chairs on both sides of the main hall, without even offering a cup of tea. She had no hospitality at all. "My mother is busy on the second floor. She'll come down to see you in a while."

"It's alright, I can wait."

Qin Luo wasn't in a hurry. He walked around the main hall, observing his surroundings.

Tian Wenjing obviously didn't like him, and Qin Luo didn't feel like talking to her either. He had already experienced enough disdain from Qin Qingyue, so he naturally didn't want to experience it from others.

Seeing Qin Luo acting so familiar, walking around the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion as if it were his own home, Tian Wenjing's expression became even stranger.

According to the rumors she had heard, Qin Luo was an extremely lascivious and extravagant playboy. He often frequented places like the Red Light District, completely different from Qin Qingyue, and was decadent to the core.

Tian Wenjing originally thought that someone like Qin Luo, a despicable person, would be lusting after her beauty and shamelessly engage in conversation with her. She had prepared herself to fiercely rebuke Qin Luo, but she didn't expect that he would completely ignore her, not even sparing her a glance.

"Hey."

Tian Wenjing couldn't contain herself any longer and couldn't help but ask, "Qin, why did my mother invite you over?"

Qin Luo asked in return, "Didn't Xiao Guoshi tell you earlier?"

"My mother only told you to come, but didn't say why."

Tian Wenjing was puzzled. She thought that someone like Qin Luo, a useless person, shouldn't have any connection to her mother. She couldn't understand why Qin Luo was invited.

Qin Luo explained, "It's nothing much, Xiao Guoshi wants to teach me the Heavenly Evolution Art."

"Teach you the Heavenly Evolution Art..."

Tian Wenjing didn't react much at first, but after thinking for a moment, she suddenly jumped up like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.

"Nonsense! The Heavenly Evolution Art is so precious, who do you think you are? How could my mother teach it to you?"

Qin Luo looked displeased, "Watch your words. Xiao Guoshi owes a favor to my sister, so she's teaching me the Heavenly Evolution Art to repay that favor. I'm not stealing or robbing anything."

Tian Wenjing's face turned red, and she stared at Qin Luo angrily, retorting, "Even if my mother owes Qin Qingyue a favor, it doesn't mean you can practice the Heavenly Evolution Art. You're not worthy!"

Qin Luo couldn't help but laugh. If it weren't for the fact that his cultivation was indeed inferior to hers and he was afraid of getting beaten up, he would have argued with Tian Wenjing using those three words, "national essence."

"I'm not asking you to practice the Heavenly Evolution Art. What's the use of saying I'm not worthy? If you have the ability, go persuade Xiao Guoshi now."

"Hmph! I will!"

Tian Wenjing was about to fly towards the second floor of the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion, but halfway through, she stopped herself.

She knew Xiao Meiying best and knew that her mother was extremely trustworthy. If her mother really promised to teach the Heavenly Evolution Art to Qin Luo, even if she tried to interfere, it would be useless.

But, the Heavenly Evolution Art... it had to be practiced in that way!

Tian Wenjing recalled the scene when Xiao Meiying taught her the Heavenly Evolution Art. When she thought about her noble and dignified mother treating Qin Luo in the same way, she suddenly felt a stabbing pain, as if her heart was being pricked, causing her liver to ache.

"What's wrong? Are you afraid to go find Xiao Guoshi?"

Qin Luo saw Tian Wenjing stop and provocatively spoke.

He actually hoped that Tian Wenjing would go find Xiao Meiying. The two of them could have a clear conversation and not bother him.

Tian Wenjing took a deep breath and forcibly suppressed the urge to send Qin Luo flying out of the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion.

"I can't stop my mother, but I can stop you. If Qin Luo himself doesn't want to practice the Heavenly Evolution Art, my mother won't teach him, and it won't be a violation of her promise."

Thinking of this, Tian Wenjing turned around and tried to make her expression appear calm.

"Now that my mother has agreed, I don't need to find her. If you want to practice the Heavenly Evolution Art with her, go ahead."

Qin Luo was surprised by her words and instinctively felt that something was wrong. Otherwise, she wouldn't suddenly change her attitude.

"But..." Tian Wenjing changed the subject, "The Heavenly Evolution Art is a top-tier technique, surpassing the Heavenly Rank. It requires a very high level of comprehension to practice. Do you think you have the comprehension to practice it?"

Qin Luo hesitated, "I think I should give it a try..."

"No! You can't!"

Tian Wenjing interrupted in a spoiled manner, "You have no idea how difficult it is to comprehend the Heavenly Evolution Art. Someone with mediocre comprehension like you, even if you spend your whole life trying to comprehend it, you won't be able to understand anything. You'll just waste your time."
