Chapter 32

‘Assigning a new task at this time?’

Qin Wanyuan frowned but couldn’t refuse the system’s task and had to accept it.

After preparing the spiritual meal, the two of them went to Jiang Moqing’s cave.

The door opened, and Jiang Moqing, dressed in plain clothes, had a slight sheen of sweat on her forehead. The sword in her hand had not yet been sheathed, indicating she had been practicing.

At first, her expression was as cold as usual, but Qin Wanyuan noticed that Jiang Moqing’s gaze lingered on Lin Que for a moment, her pupils trembling slightly.

“What’s the matter?” Jiang Moqing asked directly.

“Senior Sister, thank you for saving my life yesterday. I came to express my gratitude,” Qin Wanyuan said with a gentle smile. “This spiritual meal, which I made myself, is a token of my appreciation. I hope you will accept it.”

Listening to Qin Wanyuan’s polite words, Jiang Moqing did not respond as she initially did, calling her a worldly person. Instead, she nodded and turned to enter the cave.

The three of them went to the pavilion in Jiang Moqing’s cave. Qin Wanyuan took out the spiritual meal, and Jiang Moqing, without saying a word, picked up her chopsticks and silently chewed the food.

Qin Wanyuan believed that one could tell a person’s general character and some qualities from their eating habits. Lin Que often prioritized efficiency when eating, embodying the unrestrained style of a chivalrous hero, while Qin Qian’er preferred to chew slowly, a habit instilled by her family’s education.

As for Jiang Moqing’s style, it seemed to combine Lin Que’s efficiency with Qin Qian’er’s elegance.

She was polite but also valued efficiency.

This made Qin Wanyuan curious about Jiang Moqing’s background. Such meticulous eating habits suggested that, like her sister, she had received aristocratic education from a young age.

Perhaps the reason Jiang Moqing hid her true surname was related to her family.

During the meal, Jiang Moqing’s eyes were downcast, her gaze fixed on the dishes in the lunchbox, and she seemed a bit lost in thought, as if reminiscing about something.

Qin Wanyuan guessed she was recalling the meals Lin Que had made in the past.

Although this spiritual meal was prepared by her, it was guided by Lin Que, so naturally, it had his flavor.

“Thank you, it tastes very good.”

After the meal, Jiang Moqing looked up and thanked Qin Wanyuan.

Qin Wanyuan blinked, realizing that this was the first time the icy Senior Sister had been so polite to her.

“As long as Senior Sister likes it,” Qin Wanyuan replied politely.

Next, the two of them talked about the beasts from yesterday, and Jiang Moqing said that she had already reported the anomaly to An Xiaoyao.

Hearing the teacher’s name, Lin Que remembered that he should take the egg to An Xiaoyao for inspection.

Although that giant egg should be an extraordinary treasure, and normally wouldn’t be shown to outsiders, for Lin Que, the teacher was a woman he deeply respected. Even if it was a precious treasure, he could trust her with it.

Thinking about this, Lin Que had the idea of slipping away. After all, conversations between women, especially between the current and former partners, were the most torturous. Even though he had done nothing, he inexplicably felt like he was in a battlefield.

He came here because Qin Wanyuan wanted to visit Jiang Moqing and also to check on her injuries.

Seeing that Jiang Moqing looked well, although she was initially more injured than Qin Wanyuan, she would likely recover faster in the end.

After all, Jiang Moqing was a cultivator at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage. As long as her foundation wasn’t harmed, there wouldn’t be any serious consequences.

Just as Lin Que was about to find an excuse to leave, Qin Wanyuan suddenly spoke.

“By the way, Senior Sister, I am really worried about your injuries. Why not let Lin Lang take a look? His medical skills are excellent.”

“…..”

Jiang Moqing didn’t speak, neither agreeing nor refusing, just looking at Lin Que. Qin Wanyuan also looked at him, but her eyes carried a hint of pleading.

“Yes, if there are any aftereffects, it wouldn’t be good.” Since it was his partner’s request, Lin Que didn’t refuse. He took out a thin thread from his storage ring, intending to use the hanging silk pulse diagnosis.

He was very measured with his ex, especially in front of his current partner, Qin Wanyuan, and knew how to avoid suspicion.

However, Qin Wanyuan shook her head, “Lin Lang, you should take her pulse directly. It would be more accurate, right?”

“Men and women should not touch hands in passing objects. Senior Sister Wang probably wouldn’t agree, right?” Lin Que blinked, feeling a bit troubled.

Senior Sister wouldn’t agree? That’s a lie!

Just by looking at the favorability bar, Jiang Moqing’s favorability towards Lin Que was as high as eighty-two, so she wouldn’t resist physical contact with him.

Indeed, the key to conquering Jiang Moqing wasn’t her, but Lin Que.

Thinking this, Qin Wanyuan became even more curious about what Senior Sister Jiang had done to make the devoted Lin Que so wary.

After thinking for a moment, she looked at Jiang Moqing again, “Senior Sister shouldn’t mind, right?”

“I don’t mind.” Jiang Moqing said lightly, already rolling up her sleeve to reveal a fair wrist.

Seeing this, Lin Que didn’t refuse anymore. He put away the thin thread and placed three fingers on Jiang Moqing’s wrist, sending a trace of spiritual energy along her meridians to sense.

Jiang Moqing didn’t resist, allowing Lin Que to proceed.

Lin Que’s favorability remained unchanged, but Jiang Moqing’s favorability gradually increased with the contact time, but soon fell back, always fluctuating around eighty, as if she was undergoing a fierce internal struggle.

Just as this favorability was at a stalemate, Qin Wanyuan suddenly heard the system’s voice in her mind.

[Congratulations to the host, the task is completed, the reward will be automatically issued.]

As soon as the voice fell, Qin Wanyuan suddenly felt a burst of refreshment, and her strength also showed signs of increasing.

‘It’s already completed? By the way, what was the reward for this task… endurance potion, enhancing my physique, and… increasing Lin Lang’s charm value.’

After a moment of daze, she immediately checked the favorability, and at this moment, Jiang Moqing’s favorability towards Lin Que had already broken through eighty-five.

This is the state of falling in love.
