Chapter 69: One Night Without Sleep
Chapter 69: One Night Without Sleep
As Huang Rong's words became increasingly absurd, Cheng Ying couldn't help but speak seriously:
"Senior sister, if you keep talking nonsense, I'm not going to talk to you anymore."
Upon hearing this, Huang Rong said:
"Junior sister, don't be angry. I'll just ask you one question: do you really not like your Brother Qian at all?"
"this……"
Cheng Ying hesitated, unsure how to answer for a moment.
She couldn't bring herself to say that she didn't like Qian Jin at all, but in her heart, she always thought that Qian Jin and Xiaolongnu were a better match.
She still remembers that when she first saw Xiaolongnu, she thought she was as beautiful as an angel.
At that time, Qian Jin's two female apprentices both called Xiaolongnu "sister-in-law".
From that moment on, she knew she couldn't like money anymore.
But being rational is one thing, being able to do it is another; she couldn't control her own heart.
She didn't need anything in return; she was content as long as she could stay quietly by Qian Jin's side.
Seeing that Cheng Ying remained silent, Huang Rong knew exactly what he was thinking, and immediately continued:
"Junior sister, if you truly love your Brother Qian, I can help you."
Upon hearing this, Cheng Ying shook her head and said:
"No need, Senior Sister. It's enough for me to just stay here quietly with him."
"..."
Upon hearing this, Huang Rong couldn't help but sigh. Another devoted lover!
She looked at Cheng Ying quietly and suddenly realized that it was actually quite good that her daughter couldn't marry Qian Jin.
Because Qian Jin was so outstanding, she didn't want her daughter to end up like Cheng Ying, becoming an idiot.
A love that can never be obtained can be very painful.
As Huang Rong was reminiscing, Cheng Ying suddenly turned her head and asked with a puzzled look:
"Senior sister, I came so late to deliver a midnight snack to Brother Qian."
But why did you come so late?
"Huh? No, no, I just happened to be passing by, I didn't mean anything by it."
Huang Rong said something and then quickly slipped away.
Seeing this, Cheng Ying thought for a moment, then jumped down from the tree and headed towards her room.
……
After Qian Jin learned how to practice the Nine Yin Manual in reverse from Yang Guo, he was wide awake.
So after Xiaolongnu fell asleep, Qian Jin began to practice the Nine Yin Manual in reverse.
Although practicing the Nine Yin Manual in reverse is listed as a new martial art on the proficiency panel, it is ultimately still the Nine Yin Manual.
Qian Jin has already cultivated the Nine Yin Manual to its highest level, so if he were to cultivate the Nine Yin Manual in reverse, his progress would naturally be extremely rapid.
In just one night, his proficiency in practicing the Nine Yin Manual in reverse had already broken through to the fifth level, reaching the "Mastery of the Inner Chamber."
According to Qian Jin's deduction, if he continues to cultivate for a few more days, he will be able to cultivate this reverse-cultivation Nine Yin Manual to its highest level.
Qian Jin was in such a hurry to cultivate this reverse Nine Yin Manual because Yang Guo told him that after learning the normal Nine Yin Manual, Ouyang Feng had merged the normal and reverse Nine Yin Manuals into one.
Qian Jin felt that if Ouyang Feng could do it, he should be able to do it too.
Just then, there was a knock on the door, and Cheng Ying came in with breakfast.
Little Dragon Girl also jumped down from the rope, and then the three of them sat around the dining table, ready to eat.
Boom boom boom!
The three had only taken a few bites when the knocking on the door sounded again. Qian Jin was taken aback for a moment and said:
"Who would come so early? I'll go check."
So he went over and opened the door, and soon he and Cheng Yaojia walked in together.
Cheng Yaojia looked somewhat embarrassed and said:
"I prepared some breakfast to give to Uncle Qian, but I didn't expect you to have prepared it already."
Upon hearing this, Qian Jin smiled and said:
"No problem, no problem. Since Junior Nephew Cheng is here, please sit down and eat with us!"
Upon hearing this, Cheng Yaojia shook her head and said:
"No, I have something to do, so I'll head back now."
Cheng Yaojia placed the breakfast on the table and then turned to leave. However, she had just reached the door when she bumped into Huang Rong who was coming from the opposite direction.
After seeing each other clearly, both of them were taken aback.
"Sister Cheng, what are you doing here?"
Cheng Yaojia and Lu Guanying were husband and wife. Lu Guanying's father, Lu Chengfeng, was Huang Yaoshi's apprentice. So, Cheng Yaojia was actually a generation younger than Huang Rong.
However, Cheng Yaojia is also Sun Bu'er's disciple, and from the perspective of the Quanzhen Sect, she is of the same generation as Guo Jing.
Therefore, Huang Rong and Cheng Yaojia have always addressed each other as sisters for so many years.
Upon hearing this, Cheng Yaojia said:
"I've brought breakfast to Uncle Qian. What about you, little sister?"
Upon hearing this, Huang Rong brought the breakfast in her hand to the front of her and said:
"Me too."
As the two were talking, Qian Jin came out from inside and said:
"It's rare to have such a lively atmosphere today, so why don't you all come in and have something to eat with us!"
Cheng Yaojia ran away earlier because she saw that Xiaolongnu and Cheng Ying were there. Now that Huang Rong is with her, she naturally agreed to go.
Then he pulled Huang Rong and Qian Jin in with him.
Huang Rong came to Qian Jin because she wanted his help to resolve the old grudge between her and Yang Guo. After all, although she did not kill Yang Kang, he did die because of her.
However, when Yang Guo came over last night, he was in Qian Jin's room the whole time, and then he met his junior sister Cheng Ying, so he didn't find a suitable opportunity.
In addition, Cheng Ying had brought a late-night snack last night, and after she fled in a hurry, she realized it wouldn't be good to come empty-handed.
So I made breakfast early in the morning, which gave me an excuse to come and find Qianjin.
But to her surprise, after entering the house, not only were Xiaolongnu and Cheng Ying there, but even Cheng Yaojia had come to join in the fun. How could she possibly ask Qian Jin for help?
Especially after meeting Cheng Ying's gaze, Huang Rong felt extremely uncomfortable.
Qian Jin didn't care. He sat down between Xiaolongnu and Cheng Ying and started eating heartily.
He had been cultivating all night, and now he was very hungry, so he ate with great relish.
Ok……
Huang Rong's culinary skills are indeed well-deserved; Guo Jing has truly been fortunate to have such delicious food all these years.
Cheng Yaojia's cooking skills are quite good, and Lu Guanying is also quite lucky with his food.
However, compared to the other two, Cheng Ying's cooking skills are in no way inferior! So, I'm actually quite lucky with my food.
As Qian Jin ate, he mentally critiqued the breakfast the three had brought.
Seeing Qian Jin wolfing down his food, Cheng Ying couldn't help but advise him:
"Brother Qian, eat slowly, don't choke."
Upon hearing this, Qian Jin smiled and said:
"Actually, I wanted to eat slowly, but the breakfast you brought was all so delicious!"
Besides, I didn't sleep a wink last night, so I was exhausted and starving. With such delicious breakfast, how could I possibly stop eating?!
Didn't sleep all night?
Huang Rong was startled, and her gaze involuntarily turned to Xiaolongnu.
