Chapter 294: 235: The True Face of Jiang Cheng_3
…
“Making high-quality rubbings of cultivation techniques is not a simple matter.”
In the days following Liang Lu’s departure, Jiang Cheng spent most of his time immersed in Capital University’s library.
Such long hours of work made him profoundly understand the importance of the Dayan Sect’s expansion.
As the Sect Master of the Dayan Sect, how could he possibly do everything himself? Wouldn’t that be exhausting?
But now, at the early stages of building the sect, apart from Li Qingge and Gao Miao, who were more like honorary elders and figureheads, the true disciples he could count on were really just Yue Linger and Shen Menghan.
Liu Qing could only be considered a contractor, not an official Dayan Sect Disciple.
Since Shen Menghan was also busy with Miaodan Workshop, the task of making rubbings typically fell to Jiang Cheng and Yue Linger. Of course, during their daily work hours, they were joined by the contractor, Liu Qing.
Yue Linger glanced over at Liu Qing opposite her and desperately pondered whether to hint at Liang Lu’s existence.
This Liang Lu was not like the last time’s Hai Lan.
Liang Lu not only came from a prestigious family, was of a similar age to Jiang Cheng, but also possessed impeccable talents for cultivating immortality, as well as flawless looks and figure.
Her personality was also passable, belonging to the level that, although not outstanding, didn’t drag them down.
With such qualifications as Liang Lu’s, not to mention Jiang Cheng, any eligible male cultivator in Liang Kingdom could pick her.
If a female cultivator of her level were to throw herself at Jiang Cheng…
Yue Linger put herself in Jiang Cheng’s shoes and found no reason to refuse.
Didn’t that mean she was about to gain another “sister”?
Yue Linger understood the principle of “losing five cities today” quite well.
If she didn’t do anything, wouldn’t it mean that anyone could get close to Jiang Cheng and become yet another “sister” to her, Yue Linger?
If they were like Shen Menghan, she could accept it, but what if this Liang Lu was just pretending to be nice on the surface and was actually a scheming Hai Lan at heart?
Then would they ever have peaceful days ahead?
However, she, Yue Linger, couldn’t control the comings and goings of girls in the house, even if it was the previous Hai Lan, it was Liu Qing who stepped in to drive her away.
This time, it was still up to Liu Qing.
“Liu Qing.”
“Hmm?”
Liu Qing’s movement halted as she looked up at Yue Linger.
“When you were not here yesterday, Jiang Cheng brought a friend over.”
Liu Qing blinked lightly, and with a slight sniff, a large number of scents entered her sensitive nostrils.
About two days ago, a strange female cultivator had come to the library.
Judging from the fresh scent on the female cultivator, she was very young, around nineteen, about the same age as Jiang Cheng.
Her scent was very fragrant; one could tell at a sniff that she was a very pretty human female.
“Female friend,” Liu Qing said.
“Right,” Yue Linger quickly nodded.
Although Liu Qing seemed a bit slow-witted, Yue Linger didn’t expect her intuition to be so sharp in this regard. She hadn’t even mentioned it, yet Liu Qing guessed that Jiang Cheng’s friend was a female cultivator on her own.
Right?
Upon receiving Yue Linger’s affirmative reply, Liu Qing immediately frowned in displeasure.
Initially, Jiang Cheng had assured her that she was his only “female friend,” so how could he go find another “female friend”?
At this moment, Jiang Cheng, blissfully unaware of the ominous family dynamic brewing behind him, was happily collecting Demonic Tao cultivation techniques.
“We’ve really been bothering Yue a lot lately, perhaps we should invite her out for a meal sometime,” Jiang Cheng thought innocently.
Yue Linger could be considered his “right-hand man” and “personal disciple”— always working hard without complaint, and inviting her for a meal to show some appreciation was the least he could do.
It’s so rare to find friends as sincere as Yue in today’s society.
