Chapter 791 Master Arrives
The curved blade landed on the ground, and Xia Linglong took two steps back shyly, her angry face filled with murderous intent.
"Men are all the same, none of them are any good," Xia Linglong said through gritted teeth.
"This saying was popular hundreds of years ago?" Lin Ping wondered, and could only respond with a joke:
"I'm not a man!"
This answer carried significant weight, at least giving Li Mingxuan and the others hope.
There's nothing shameful about homosexuality.
"I am Lin Ping!"
This can be interpreted as men being the opposite of Lin Ping, and Lin Ping not being a man.
"Tell me quickly, what is your relationship with Meng Qingge? Why did she approach you in public?" Xia Linglong began to interrogate her.
This problem was no challenge for Lin Ping. He had even figured out how to explain it to Jiang Yunying, let alone Xia Linglong.
“Women really don’t have brains,” Lin Ping replied, picking up where Xia Linglong left off.
This tactic was cleverly employed, not only effectively responding to gender oppression but also leading into what was to be said next.
"I wonder what Meng Qingge said at the time?" Lin Ping asked in return.
Xia Linglong casually replied, "She asked us if we were a delegation from the Wu Kingdom, and then inquired about you."
Lin Ping was initially a little worried, but after hearing these words, he could basically relax and even feel at ease.
"Why did Meng Qingge need to find out about me through the delegation?" Lin Ping had already prepared his script and wasn't worried that Xia Linglong wouldn't fall into his trap.
"Because she knows you're from the Wu Kingdom, and that you might know us," Xia Linglong replied, puzzled.
Lin Ping smiled faintly: "So, Meng Qingge doesn't know me very well, and we've never even met."
Judging from Meng Qingge's behavior at the time, she had indeed not met Lin Ping, otherwise she would not have gone to such lengths to ask the delegation for information.
"Since I've never even met her, how can I say I've had an affair with her?" After saying this, Lin Ping breathed a sigh of relief, knowing he wouldn't tell anyone about his relationship with Meng Qingge.
Zhu Xiaoji stood aside, listening in a daze. He secretly gave Lin Ping a thumbs up, and really wanted to kneel down and become his apprentice.
This is the ultimate level of a scumbag: not only is he fickle, but he also lies constantly. The key is that his acting skills are superb, and no one can find a single fault with him.
Lin Ping also felt guilty. He was a devoted man at heart, and from beginning to end, he only loved Jiang Yunying.
However, things didn't go as planned. Xia Linglong and others appeared one after another, and they even had a life-and-death experience with him. He couldn't just abandon them, so after getting Jiang Yunying's consent, he decided to take them all in.
Before coming to the Daye Dynasty, he swore that he would never fall in love with any other woman in this life except Jiang Yunying, Xia Linglong, Lin Xiyin, Guo Zhixi, etc., and that if he broke his vow, he would be punished by nature.
Thus began the Little Ice Age.
In short, she didn't want to lie to Xia Linglong; he had a secret about being a man.
Xia Linglong thought what he said made sense, but she was still a little angry and continued to ask, "Even so, you still have some contact with her. The world is so big, why would she specifically look for you and not Xu Congcong?"
Once the daughter regains her senses, she will allow the man's deception to reach a new level.
Lin Ping proved this point with his own experience.
"Who said we didn't contact Xu Congcong?" Lin Ping tried hard not to laugh out loud and said seriously, "Congcong, you tell us."
Clearly, Xu Congcong was conscripted into the army. Who told him to take it upon himself to reply to Lin Ping's letter? He deserved it.
Xu Congcong hung her head and hid behind Lin Ping, repeating what she had just said in fits and starts.
Why was it intermittent? You'd have to ask Xia Linglong's whip.
She wanted nothing more than to tear Xu Congcong apart and beat him until he was covered in bruises.
"He took the beating for me!" Lin Ping cast a sympathetic glance at Xu Congcong, secretly deciding to give him an extra chicken leg; this kid was perfect for taking the blame.
Perhaps Xu Congcong was tired of talking, or perhaps Xia Linglong was tired of hitting, they finally stopped.
“Even if Xu Congcong acted on her own initiative, you are still at fault!” Xia Linglong said, pouting.
"The crime of lax discipline?" Lin Ping asked, puzzled.
"The crime of being exceptionally talented!" Xia Linglong said with certainty, and she did indeed silence Lin Ping's mouth with her thin lips.
"miss you……"
This time, Xia Linglong blushed to the roots of her ears and her whole body felt hot.
She couldn't control her longing and even in front of Xia Linglong and Xia Yeran, she took the initiative to kiss him.
Lin Ping was stunned by the kiss and speechless in front of his two brothers-in-law, only able to hide his embarrassment with a smile.
“Young Master Lin, we were able to arrive in Shuntian Prefecture safely thanks to one person,” Xia Yeran said, breaking the awkward silence.
"Anyone who can be thanked by the Prince must be extraordinary." Lin Ping's flattery skills had become even more refined.
If he knew who the person was, he would definitely take back what he just said and run away.
Flattery takes time, and wouldn't he want to use that time to escape?
"Killing intent? Sword aura?"
Lin Ping's hair stood on end, and he hurriedly somersaulted backward, narrowly avoiding having his part sliced off by the flying sword.
"What are you afraid of? You haven't grown any bigger." A cold voice appeared. "It's been a few months, and your martial arts have actually regressed? Could it be that your senior brother didn't teach you well?"
The voice was very familiar, and Lin Ping's cold face immediately broke into a grimace.
"Junior sister! You haven't been here much!" Lin Ping shouted loudly.
"When did the Lotus Palace Master become this guy's junior sister?" Xia Yeran's face was full of question marks.
Lin Ping quickly gave Li Mingxuan a wink, and the latter understood and took Xia Linglong away, claiming that Lin Ping had prepared a surprise for her.
"Huh? It's Master? I only saw a young girl's face and thought it was Junior Sister. Please forgive me, Master." Lin Ping said with a grin, hoping that Xia Linglong had already gone far away.
Chu Rujun's cold face softened considerably, but she still glared at Lin Ping: "It seems you didn't go to cultivate with your senior brother, but instead indulged in pleasure here, wasting Yun Ying's worries about you."
"Is my wife worried about me?"
Hearing this, Lin Ping felt as if his heart was being slowly sliced apart with a knife.
His departure and his concealment caused Jiang Yunying to live in constant fear and depression.
"Yun Ying thought you were going to follow your senior brother in arduous cultivation for three years, and she was so worried that she couldn't eat or sleep, and she lost a lot of weight," Chu Rujun said with a heavy heart.
“Since you didn’t go to cultivate with your senior brother, you should come back with me.”
"go back?"
Lin Ping also felt the same way; no matter how good Shuntian Prefecture was, it never felt like home.
It doesn't mean that owning a house and making a few friends means you truly belong here.
His roots are in the Kingdom of Wu; his wife, parents, relatives, and friends are all there. That is the place he longs for.
"I'm afraid Lin Hao will kill me, and my mother will be heartbroken because of it."
Lin Ping shook his head; reason ultimately prevailed over emotion.
"One year, give my disciple another year," Lin Ping said almost pleadingly.
