Why are the Talismans I Drawn Banned Again?!

Chapter 302: Chapter 239: Hold for a Moment
After taking care of Lin Yao’s teacher, Li Qingge personally went to work on Lin Yao’s thought process.

Unlike Liang Lu’s technique-focused cultivation path, Yan Yue chose willpower as the main direction of cultivation based on Lin Yao’s strengths.

Through tempering one’s will, one can achieve the purpose of breaking free from control more quickly and enduring more attacks.

Simply put, it’s “boosting magic resistance, adding immunity buffs.”

After clashing with Liang Lu’s strange talismans, Lin Yao also realized the importance of magic resistance.

Liang Lu’s nauseating talismans were endless, and it was impossible to anticipate and counter them all. It wasn’t a long-term strategy. But if one could reduce the talisman’s effects on cultivators by training their willpower, that would truly be bringing power to bear on finesse.

“Lin Yao, Li has something to discuss with you,” Yan Yue led Li Qingge and Mo Ningdan into Lin Yao’s cultivation room.

Lin Yao, dressed in a tracksuit, was breathing deeply, her body dripping with sweat.

Seeing Li Qingge and the others enter, she stopped cultivating. Out of respect for her senior teachers, she even used an expensive Purification Talisman and Clothing Purification Talisman on herself.

“Lin Yao, Li has a favor to ask of you,” said Yan Yue.

Lin Yao didn’t think too much about it. She was preparing to become the leader of the Taixu Sect and, although she usually didn’t pay attention to networking, it wouldn’t hurt her to form more connections with Taixu Sect seniors for her future battle for the sect leadership.

“Feel free to speak, senior. As long as it’s within my principles, Lin Yao will do her utmost to assist you.”

Hearing Lin Yao’s attitude, the faces of Li Qingge and Mo Ningdan eased considerably.

Mo Ningdan lamented, “If only that Liang Lu had half your principles, we wouldn’t have had to come to you for help.”

“Is this related to Liang Lu?” Lin Yao asked.

“It’s related, but it’s even more to do with our Taixu Sect,” replied Yan Yue.

Lin Yao’s expression darkened, “Is it a major sect matter? The Taixu Sect has been good to me. If the sect is in trouble, it is only right for Lin Yao to be the first to charge into battle. I cannot refuse!”

A nice one!

Li Qingge: Look at her awareness! She’s even stronger than many true disciples of the Taixu Sect!

Mo Ningdan: If only Liang Lu could be like this, we would have to worry so much less.

Because the “Princess Ascension” plan was highly confidential, and Lin Yao wasn’t a disciple of the Taixu Sect, it wasn’t convenient to tell her directly.

However, having witnessed Lin Yao’s fighting spirit, Li Qingge was no longer worrying about those other matters.

Lin Yao was more enlightened than most Taixu Sect disciples; her loyal words were evident. How could they stand by and not help her?

“We need you to help us attract the attention of a male cultivator.”

“Sorry, I can’t.”

Lin Yao refused instantly.

She was so quick that the three Core Formation cultivators hadn’t even had time to react.

When the three of them did recover, they were all taken aback.

After speaking of sect matters, Lin Yao had seemed full of righteous zeal, really winning their favor. Why then, when they actually asked for her help, did she refuse so bluntly without any hesitation or excuse?

Wasn’t the contrast a bit too great?

“Senior Li, when Lin Yao said she was willing to help, she meant within the scope of her principles. You are asking me to seduce a male cultivator, which is beyond Lin Yao’s principles. I will not do it.”

Lin Yao bluntly refused before explaining her actions.

After hearing Lin Yao’s reason, Li Qingge felt a little relieved, “It’s not that serious, we’re just asking you to attract his attention, at most just chat with him, have a meal together, hold hands, that kind of thing. There won’t be any more excessive actions. You don’t have to worry about losing your vital essence and affecting your cultivation.”

Still, Lin Yao refused, “I can’t.”

“Not even holding hands?”

“I can’t.”

Li Qingge looked at Lin Yao, deep in thought. She felt that with Lin Yao’s looks, even without holding hands, if she were made up nicely, she would surely capture Jiang Cheng’s interest.

“Alright then, no need to hold hands, just keep him company with some conversation. Can you do that?”

The result was unchanged, Lin Yao still refused, “I can’t.”

“It’s just talking.”

Lin Yao shook her head.

At this point, even Yan Yue couldn’t stand it anymore.

Lin Yao had no reason to refuse even talking, did she?

“Lin Yao, there shouldn’t be a problem with just talking. The Taixu Sect has strict rules, but when it comes to talking to male cultivators, there are no requirements, you don’t have to worry.”

“It’s not about the Taixu Sect. I, myself, don’t want to get close to others,” Lin Yao said.

Lin Yao didn’t have any strange diseases, nor did she dislike talking to male cultivators. The logic behind her refusal to help Li Qingge was simple: to lure someone for Li Qingge, no matter what form it took, talking or not talking, even if it was just sending a selfie, would damage her reputation and eventually trouble Jiang Cheng.

This could never be allowed.

Li Qingge questioned herself; she wasn’t some “liberal” female cultivator. Normally, she was proper and had never behaved indecently, but now, with Lin Yao refusing even to talk to male cultivators, she seemed conservative to an extreme. Next to Lin Yao, Li Qingge felt almost improper by comparison.

Subsequently, in order to get Lin Yao to help attract Jiang Cheng, Li Qingge did not hesitate to use sect resources, promising her great rewards. But who knew that Lin Yao was stubbornly set in her ways, adamantly refusing to chat, leaving no possibility for negotiation.

Mo Ningdan and Yan Yue frowned deeply. The obstacles faced by the Princess Ascension plan were proving more troublesome than they had originally thought.

With the only person capable of breaking the impasse, Lin Yao, remaining indifferent, they once again found themselves at a loss.

At this point, Li Qingge, out of options, said, “Well then, since Lin Yao will not agree under any circumstances, the only option left is for me to personally take action.”

“You?”

“Friend Li, did I hear you correctly? You’re planning to personally seduce Jiang Cheng?”
