The Junior Sister Isn't Flirtatious At All; It's All Their Fault for Being Too Seductive - Chapter 36

Meanwhile, Guo Jian was secretly executed by the Lin family after he returned. Guo Jian never expected that he would actually be ruthlessly killed by the Lin family, just as Yue Wenqiu had said, even though he had been loyal to the Lin family for so long.

Guo Jian had indeed acted on his own accord this time, intending to bring credit to the Lin family. But the Lin family wasn’t unaware; they just pretended not to know, waiting to reap the benefits. Now, the Lin family feigned ignorance, claiming they had no knowledge of Guo Jian’s intentions, and offered a few spiritual fruits, spiritual herbs, and spiritual stones as compensation. The Song family had no choice but to drop the matter entirely.

However, Yue Wenqiu’s threat was noted. The Lin family also hadn’t expected the Song family’s niece to be a Dao-companion with Yue Wenqiu. If the Lin family wanted to oppose the Song family again, they would have to kill Yue Wenqiu, which would make them enemies of both the Eastern Yue Sect and the Western Cloud Sect.

On the Song family side—

Li Changting sighed in relief after returning. “I thought this fox would bring a huge debt for Junior Sister, and I was already planning to stay up all night refining pills to sell.” Yes, Li Changting was an Alchemist. Medicine and alchemy are essentially interconnected, requiring familiarity with the properties of herbs. The usual method for a cultivator’s treatment is consuming pills. Li Changting knew a bit of swordsmanship, but he wasn’t proficient, making him quite fragile. Alchemists generally have little offensive power. The very skilled Alchemists, because they can generate enormous profit, usually have several powerful Swordsmen as bodyguards.

Hearing this, Jiang Luoyue looked eagerly at Li Changting. “Actually, even though we don’t have debt, we’re still quite short on money.”

Li Changting was puzzled. “Doesn’t Young Master Yue have money?”

“Yue Wenqiu’s money is for himself to spend, and for me to spend, that’s fine. But would you feel comfortable spending it?” Jiang Luoyue put her hands on her hips, glancing at Jiang Luoxing and Li Changting.

Li Changting scratched his head sheepishly, then shook it. “No, I wouldn’t.” Li Changting hadn’t fully processed it yet: he had left the sect, no longer received a monthly stipend, and his pockets were empty. Eighty percent of the pills he refined previously were submitted to the sect, and the rest were for his own use. After all, disciples with a sect are like children with a home; they don’t have much sense of saving.

“Junior Sister, I don’t have anywhere to go now. Can I… follow you?” Li Changting asked. “I promise to refine pills every day and make our family better and better.”

“Then what is your status?” Before Jiang Luoyue could speak, Jiang Luoxing looked at Li Changting teasingly, pointing to his sister. “She’s the boss.” He pointed to Yue Wenqiu. “Him, the primary one you think he is.” He pointed to himself again. “Me, the secondary one you think I am.” He then pointed to Li Changting. “And you?”

Li Changting’s eyes widened. “I am Luoyue’s Senior Brother, isn’t that enough?” However, Jiang Luoxing was only joking. He just wanted to see if this Li Changting was here to join the family or to break it up.

“Senior Brother, of course, you can follow me. We’ll have fun together from now on,” Jiang Luoyue accepted with a smile.

After Guo Jian’s incident, the Song family cultivators didn’t bring back many things this time, but it was soon time to submit offerings to the Western Cloud Sect. As a famous aristocratic family, the Song family always had enough in its treasury to submit, but Jiang Luoyue felt that since the little fox had made a mistake, she wanted to make up for it. Song’s mother and father knew that the root cause was the Lin family’s opposition, and even if the little fox hadn’t appeared this time, they would have found other opportunities to cause trouble later, so they didn’t blame them.

“It’s alright, Aunt will just pay those cultivators more and send them out again,” Song’s mother held Jiang Luoyue’s hand and patted it affectionately. “Nannan, just stay home and rest. You don’t need to go running around.”

“Don’t worry, Aunt. I’m a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator. Let alone the Song family cultivators, even Cousin and Cousin-in-law together can’t beat me. Don’t worry,” Jiang Luoyue boasted, her tail figuratively wagging.

Song Weiyuan, who was used as a comparison, wasn’t angry. He looked at Jiang Luoyue like she was a baby. “Mother, Cousin is very powerful. Let Cousin go. Cultivators naturally need more experience.”

Jiang Luoyue nodded. “Aunt, see? Even Cousin says so.”

Song’s mother glared at Song Weiyuan. “You rascal, you just talk nonsense. You don’t even care about your sister.” But Song’s mother released Jiang Luoyue’s hand, which she knew meant approval.

“Yue’er, don’t go to dangerous places. The Western Cloud Sect doesn’t need us to submit very high-grade items,” Song Weiyuan packed a bag for Jiang Luoyue, putting in some common talismans, pills, and defensive artifacts. He knew Jiang Luoyue probably wasn’t lacking these, but having them was better than not having them.

“Yes, listen to your brother, take everything with you. If you encounter any danger, run first,” Song’s mother continued to instruct, nagging endlessly, but Jiang Luoyue wasn’t impatient. Aunt is so good. Jiang Luoyue listened patiently, even rubbing her face lovingly against Song’s mother before leaving. Song’s mother only had one son, who had long stopped being as affectionate with her. Now that she had a sweet, soft, obedient niece who often hugged her, how could Song’s mother not cherish her?

Li Changting didn’t go out with them, choosing to stay in the Song family to calmly refine pills.

“But I don’t have any herbs,” Li Changting said. “They were all in the sect and weren’t brought back. That Luo Xiuping got them cheap.” Jiang Luoyue then remembered that she had put all of Li Changting’s belongings into the Floating Wave House. She hesitated about whether to give Li Changting a pass to allow him free entry and exit as well.

Jiang Luoxing tugged on Jiang Luoyue’s sleeve, muttering discontentedly, “Elder Sister, that’s our home.” The implication was that he could only accept men related to Jiang Luoyue, not “outsiders.” Li Changting didn’t understand what he meant by “our home.” Hadn’t he already joined Jiang Luoyue? Didn’t that count as joining the family? Li Changting felt a little lost. He and Jiang Luoyue were practically childhood sweethearts. His Master, Jiang’s father, had told him countless times to “take good care of Junior Sister Jiang,” and he had deeply embedded that in his mind. He watched Jiang Luoyue slowly grow up and cultivate. In his youthful naivete, he had even thought that he would eventually become her Dao-companion.

“It’s alright,” Jiang Luoyue knew Jiang Luoxing was an insecure child and gave a comforting smile. “Senior Brother is trustworthy.”

“Of course,” Li Changting immediately nodded. “Junior Sister, I will never betray you.” After saying this, Li Changting immediately took an Heavenly Oath. A white light flashed, and the oath was sealed. If he betrayed Jiang Luoyue, he would suffer the punishment of the Heavenly Dao.
