Chapter 305: Chapter 240 Don’t Say Things That Won’t Pass Censorship_2
“How did you find out?”

“Someone from Taixu Sect told me. They asked me to seduce you, with the aim of keeping you away from Liang Lu.”

Jiang Cheng exclaimed in surprise, “Ah? When you said ‘someone is nearby,’ you were referring to Liang Lu?”

Lin Yao was taken aback and said, “Of course, who else would it be?”

“Oh, never mind, continue.”

Lin Yao said happily, “Taixu Sect may treat Yao’er well, but that’s nothing compared to a single hair on Jiang’s body. They’re wrong if they think I’m going to go against Jiang. Brother Jiang, what do you think I should do?”

“What do you mean, what should you do?”

“Do you want Taixu Sect’s plan to succeed?”

“They’ve already succeeded, I don’t have any particular relationship with Liang Lu anyway.”

Lin Yao looked at Jiang Cheng and asked, “Is that so?”

“Yeah.”

“However, Taixu Sect doesn’t seem to see it that way; they think Liang Lu likes you and would give up something important for you.”

“The throne. Taixu Sect is planning to support Liang Lu as the emperor, but their worries about me are completely baseless.”

Lin Yao suddenly realized, “So that’s how it is. I understand now.”

Jiang Cheng: ???

“What do you understand?”

“I know Liang Lu quite well, she’s got a good character and works hard. Having her as a bed-warming maid is no loss to her. Now that Taixu Sect intends to make her the emperor, we can just go with the flow, pretend to distance ourselves from Liang Lu, but actually get closer to her and make her useful to us!” Lin Yao stretched out her five fingers and slowly clenched them into a fist.

Jiang Cheng: ???

What kind of Demonic Tao talk is this?

If Lin Yao follows the plot and goes to the Hehuan Sect, that’s really not a loss for her.

“I don’t want to get involved in the succession struggle.” Jiang Cheng stated his stance clearly.

As a result, Lin Yao took it to mean, “Yao’er understands, I will handle it, Brother Jiang can just enjoy the benefits.”

“You’re not permitted to get involved either.”

Jiang Cheng issued another prohibition.

Lin Yao’s hands, which were holding onto Jiang Cheng’s arm, tightened slightly, “Brother Jiang! This is a good opportunity!”

Jiang Cheng didn’t quite follow Lin Yao’s train of thought. Assuming that Liang Lu really liked him and Lin Yao liked him too, then logically, Lin Yao and Liang Lu would be rivals, right? How could Lin Yao possibly help him pursue Liang Lu? She couldn’t have some special taste, could she?

“That’s not right. Aren’t you supposed to dislike Liang Lu?”

Lin Yao replied as if it were obvious, “As long as it’s beneficial for Brother Jiang, Yao’er likes it. Moreover, Brother Jiang likes Yao’er far more than Liang Lu, so Liang Lu poses no threat to Yao’er’s place in Brother Jiang’s heart.”

“In my heart, you only have the place of a junior sister.” Jiang Cheng immediately shattered Lin Yao’s illusion.

But Lin Yao appeared very confident, “If it were truly just the place of a junior sister, why did you just now tell me not to get involved? Brother Jiang, your concern for Yao’er, I take all of it to heart.”

Jiang Cheng sighed, “Stop fantasizing.”

Lin Yao pouted and said, “Yao’er isn’t fantasizing, Brother Jiang must like Yao’er, you just haven’t realized it yet.”

Jiang Cheng explained, “I really don’t like you, no kidding.”

Jiang Cheng’s denial was quite direct. If it were Liang Lu, who has thinner skin and a bit of pride, she’d probably be crying and leaving by now.

But Lin Yao was completely different.

She let go of Jiang Cheng’s arm, pointed at a male cultivator in the distance, and said, “Since Brother Jiang says he doesn’t like me, if Yao’er goes to hold someone else’s hand right now, would Brother Jiang be willing?”

“I…”

Jiang Cheng looked displeased. Lin Yao, after all, was the plot leading lady and the future top-tier cultivator. To let her lower herself to some NPC extra even less significant than “Jiang Cheng”? That wouldn’t do at all.

Seeing her own Brother Jiang at a loss for words, the previously stern-faced Lin Yao suddenly broke into a smile.

She cheerfully threw herself into Jiang Cheng’s embrace, nuzzling her pretty face affectionately against his chest.

“Good Brother Jiang, Yao’er was just joking. Lin Yao, in this life, the next life, and the life after that, will only like Brother Jiang. Even in death, I would rather burn myself to ashes than lower myself to someone else.”

Jiang Cheng looked down at the girl in his arms, unsure of what to say.

Suddenly, he thought about Lin Yao’s future.

Although the current and past Lin Yao may have had all sorts of flaws, she certainly wasn’t a bad person.

If he continued to distance himself from Lin Yao, ignoring her and letting her do as she pleased, then one day she would once again get involved with the Hehuan Sect, and be tempted to turn into a full-fledged member of the Demon Sect.

Ultimately becoming a pillar of the Demonic Tao, a widespread infamous enchantress.

Such an ending was obviously not something Jiang Cheng wanted to see.

And he had established the Dayan Sect, ready to nibble away at the Demon Sect’s territory; he couldn’t just ignore a potential future threat like Lin Yao, could he?

“`

Regardless of the reason, even if it was for the development of the Dayan Sect, he couldn’t just ignore Lin Yao.

He wasn’t in the habit of standing by as others fell into an abyss, only to try to remedy the situation afterward. Jiang Cheng usually preferred to be prepared for any danger, eliminating risks before they could take root.

“Stop hugging it.”

Jiang Cheng said to Lin Yao.

“I don’t want to.”

Jiang Cheng sighed in relief and patted the girl’s head, “Be good, listen to me.”

Lin Yao’s eyes widened, not understanding why she suddenly felt like crying.

But she didn’t cry after all, merely lowering her head and sniffing, silently switching from hugging Jiang Cheng to holding his arm.

“Have you eaten lunch?” Jiang Cheng asked.

“I haven’t even had breakfast.”

Jiang Cheng sighed, “You’ve been sitting on the bench waiting for me the whole time?”

“Mhm.”

“Will you eat breakfast next time?”

“Oh.”

“You’re so young, you have to take care of your body. Don’t always look for shortcuts.”

“Mhm.”

Jiang Cheng stopped and asked with concern, “What’s wrong? Not very happy?”

Lin Yao shook her head quickly, “No, no, I’m too happy, just a bit overwhelmed. I don’t know what to do.”

“As long as you’re okay, that’s good then.”

“Senior brother, Yao’er knows, Yao’er will take good care of her body. After all, it belongs to you, so Yao’er can’t break it,” she said.

Jiang Cheng felt sheepish, “Don’t say things that don’t make it through censorship as soon as you come to your senses.”

“Heehee.”

Lin Yao and Jiang Cheng walked out of the gates of Capital University, heading to the roadside to hail a taxi.

During this time, Lin Yao kept holding Jiang Cheng’s arm, affectionate to an unreasonable degree, not wanting to let go even when they got a taxi.

It gave people the urge to curse out this lovey-dovey couple to death.

Outside the gates of Capital University, Li Qingge, Mo Ningdan, and Yan Yue paid close attention to Lin Yao and Jiang Cheng’s actions.

Seeing Lin Yao clinging to Jiang Cheng’s arm, they cried out that they hadn’t made the wrong choice!

Mo Ningdan exclaimed, “As expected of Lin Yao, with her beauty, as long as she’s willing to put herself out there, handling a college student like Jiang Cheng is quite easy.”

Yan Yue also said, “Hmm, to become so intimate in just one day, it seems that Jiang Cheng neglecting Liang Lu is just a matter of time.”

Li Qingge felt indignant, “It’s just holding Jiang Cheng’s arm, isn’t it? Who can’t do that? It’s a move anyone with a hand can perform; what’s there to brag about?”

Jiang Cheng had originally planned to pack lunch and go back to eat with Liu Qing and the others, but now with Lin Yao by his side, out of politeness, that wasn’t suitable. He decided to have lunch with Lin Yao first, then go back and eat again, aiming to cover all his bases.

Jiang Cheng once heard that some people could watch a movie five or six times in a single day, and he wondered just what movie was that good. Now he’s figured it out—it has nothing to do with the actual movie.

“Are you going to sit on the bench waiting for me this afternoon?” Jiang Cheng asked.

Lin Yao smiled, “I can, but Senior Li didn’t ask for it. They just wanted me to wait for you in the morning and try to establish a good relationship with you.”

“Then listen to them, don’t come in the afternoon.”

“Senior Brother~”

“Be good.”

“Okay.”

Jiang Cheng settled Lin down and also packed lunch for the hungry Dayan Sect Disciples.

Four crab roe noodles and one large steak.

Since eating was not allowed in the library’s storage area, Jiang Cheng had arrived in the rest area early and used a communication charm to call Yue Linger and the others down.

“Jiang Cheng, you are so slow, I’m starving,” Yue Linger complained.

Jiang Cheng was about to explain when he saw Liu Qing’s sharp look.

“What, what’s wrong?”

Liu Qing didn’t say a word, but walked up to Jiang Cheng, leaned in close to him, and took a careful sniff.

There was a woman’s scent on Jiang Cheng.

She had smelled it before.

That was back when they were in Wuyue City.
