Chapter 71 Heroines of the Martial World, Xian'er Doesn't Believe [Happy New Year!]
Inside Xingyun Manor, all the martial arts figures on the walls were invited to the courtyard, firstly to serve as witnesses, and secondly to have a lively banquet, providing them with good food and drink so they wouldn't have to wait outside in vain.
Lin Shiyin stayed in the plum garden.
Sun Xiaohong's name and words were not legitimate, and she didn't even have this idea. Her mind was full of thoughts about whether Wei Wu had eliminated the future troubles and killed Shangguan Jin Hong and his son.
Therefore, only Lin Xian'er and Lin Lingling, the mistress and servant, were in charge of handling this matter.
However, Lin Xian'er did not show up herself. Instead, she asked her father, Steward Lin, to arrange for people to be in the outer courtyard. She also asked Sun Xiaohong to invite Sun Baifa and Sun Tuozi to sit at the banquet. After confirming that Li Xunhuan was alright, she also arranged for him to go to the banquet.
Although she was based in the Intermediate People's Court, she managed to coordinate internal and external affairs quite well.
Lin Xian'er finally had a chance to sit down and relax, but before she could even take a sip of hot tea, her teacup was snatched away by another hand. When she looked up, she saw Lan Xiezi, who had changed into a blue dress, sitting on the table with her legs crossed.
"Look at you running around so busily! If I hadn't asked around in the backyard and found out you're the manager of Plum Garden, I would have thought you were the new mistress of Xingyun Manor!"
Despite having fought alongside Lin Xian'er before, Blue Scorpion secretly despises women like Lin Xian'er. Now that they've met, he's naturally going to give her a good dressing down.
Lin Xian'er was not annoyed. She asked Lin Lingling to pour another cup of tea, took a sip, and then smiled and replied, "People have all sorts of bones, and can change clothes in a thousand ways. They have all sorts of appearances and ways of living."
"Is your way of life just to be a dog?"
When he said those words, Blue Scorpion's clear black and white eyes were unusually devoid of mockery, and instead filled with an indescribable heartache.
Lin Xian'er was not angry at all. Instead, she laughed and put down her teacup, staring intently at the blue scorpion, making the latter very uncomfortable and even a little angry.
She then said, "We're just joking around; we say it, but we can't actually do it like that."
The blue scorpion was taken aback. "Really?"
"Of course," Lin Xian'er said frankly.
But only she knew that, for some reason, Wei Wu always treated her with a kind of disdain, as if she were something to be used and discarded at will, like a dirty rag used to wipe his feet. He would use her when he needed her, but would despise her when he didn't.
From the toilet at the beginning to the dog later, although it is still something that can be discarded, at least it is a person now.
Just as a blind person immediately discards their cane once they regain their sight, Lin Xian'er also "beautifies" all the unpleasant things from the past.
With her acting skills, she was so convincing that even a seasoned veteran like Blue Scorpion was puzzled and began to doubt his own judgment.
"Of course," Lin Xian'er said, biting her lip slightly, her giggles like silver bells. "In this world, unless a woman is trained from childhood to be an extraordinary being, what woman would willingly act like a dog?"
"That's true."
Blue Scorpion nodded, downed the tea in his cup in one gulp, tossed the cup onto the table, and said with a sneer, "I don't understand why you guys like drinking tea. It's so bland and tasteless. When Wei Wu gets back, I'll tell him we're even. I'm leaving!"
After saying that, Blue Scorpion jumped off the table, dusted himself off, and was about to leave.
Lin Xian'er was surprised. Although she was pleased with Blue Scorpion's choice, she immediately stood up and pretended to try to persuade him to stay, saying, "He said he might be back soon. Are you really leaving?"
Blue Scorpion paused, then said, "It's precisely because he's coming back soon that I'm leaving!"
She waved her hand boldly, saying as she walked away, "I'm used to the ways of the world, and I hate it when people like you are stuck in one place. If he causes trouble and I end up with my legs too weak to leave, wouldn't that be a huge loss?"
"Besides, if I stay, will I get some scraps from you, or will I have to stoop down and snatch a thicker portion from you?"
"It's pointless to force myself to do this, or I'll offend others, and I can't really kill you all. Just thinking about it makes me feel uneasy, so I might as well leave!"
Even though Lin Xian'er was incredibly alluring, she blushed deeply upon hearing a woman speak so bluntly. She slowed her pace and took two steps back. By the time she reached the door, Blue Scorpion's figure had already disappeared from the manor.
She couldn't help but stomp her foot: "What a shameless person! You just leave like that, but when Wei Wu comes back, I'll be the one blaming him!"
Blue Scorpion was clear-headed, but didn't want to be seen through, so he ran away as soon as his injuries stabilized.
But Lin Xian'er could run away, but she couldn't hide. Besides, she didn't want to run away, so she had no choice but to stay and wait for Wei Wu's punishment.
……
"What will be the punishment?"
"Her legs are her own; if she wants to walk, let her walk. Are you going to break her legs or chain her up?"
Wei Wu didn't take this matter to heart.
To put it bluntly, it was just a one-night stand. The other party, out of gratitude for that one night, tipped him off. In return, he not only killed the Great Joyful Bodhisattva, but also the Five Poisons Child, Supreme Treasure, and all of the Great Joyful Bodhisattva's disciples, thus eliminating any future trouble for her.
There's no debt between them, and they can leave whenever they want. Even if they stay for two days, Wei Wu might not be willing to go through that vicious meal again.
It can only be said that Lin Xian'er was overthinking things.
This is the difference in mindset between those who are involved in the underworld and those who are not.
Lin Xian'er considered the pros and cons of the relationship, while Wei Wu and Lan Xiezi considered their own true intentions.
"Let's not talk about her anymore. Where is Old Master Sun now?" Wei Wu had no interest in Blue Scorpion. This woman was skilled in martial arts and good in bed, but he didn't lack women right now, so he wasn't interested.
Seeing that he didn't seem to be just saying it for show, Lin Xian'er breathed a sigh of relief. She smiled and sat on his lap, gently pressing her body against his chest. She raised her hands to massage his shoulders and said, "I saw quite a few martial arts practitioners gathered outside. I was worried that someone with ulterior motives might sneak in, so I asked my father to invite them in and host a banquet in your name. We also invited Old Master Sun and Scholar Li to accompany us."
Now that the second round of banquets has passed, Old Master Sun and Scholar Li should have already returned to the inner courtyard.
Wei Wu kneaded Lin Xian'er's leg through her skirt with one hand, and put his other arm around her shoulder, chuckling, "Let's make a bet. I bet Old Master Sun and Scholar Li are still at the banquet, and Scholar Li is definitely still drinking!"
Lin Xian'er naturally knew that Wei Wu wouldn't speak without reason; he must be at least 80% confident to say such a thing. But even knowing that defeat was inevitable, she still coquettishly laughed and said, "This servant doesn't believe it. Old Master Sun is still seriously injured, and Scholar Li has been injured one after another. In addition, his lungs are not good. If he really disregards his injuries and drinks it, wouldn't he even lose his life?"
"Xian'er doesn't believe there's anyone in this world who loves wine more than their own life..."
