Knowing that Xiao Jinglan was taunting her, Lin Yibai gritted her teeth in her heart, but still put on a wronged look on the surface.
"Brother Xiao... Fellow Daoist, have you heard something from Junior Sister? Junior Sister, I know you don't like me because of what happened to Master and Senior Brother, but you shouldn't spread rumors about our sect to the disciples of other sects!"
Xiao Jinglan sensed something else from Lin Yibai's words. He remembered that in the dense forest before, Shen Chuyun had been belittling Shen Qing all the time.
She looked like a rabid dog that only knew how to bite Shen Qing.
And this Lin Yibai was the master holding the leash of the rabid dog.
Was Qingyun Sword Sect a large - scale rabid dog breeding ground?
Xiao Jinglan had a hunch that there must be more than one such rabid dog.
If Shen Qing knew what Xiao Jinglan was thinking, she would definitely think he had got the truth.
Seeing Xiao Jinglan and Shen Qing looking at each other, winking as if they were having a silent conversation, Lin Yibai felt as if she was being ignored like air.
This feeling was even more uncomfortable than being scolded by Shen Qing.
Clearly she had increased her beauty and affinity points. Why did Xiao Jinglan ignore her charm? What on earth was so good about that useless Shen Qing!
Since Xiao Jinglan ignored her, Lin Yibai decided to change her target. She wanted to provoke Shen Qing like she did on Nianbai Peak before, making Shen Qing fight back. Only in this way could she have the opportunity to show her generosity and tolerance.
"Junior Sister, although Senior Brother Shen made mistakes, he was so good to you. When the sect distributed resources, he always took most of them for you. For your sake, he even followed me around all day, asking me how to get along with girls."
"Now that Senior Brother Shen is in trouble, Junior Sister, you can't be so heartless. Senior Sister really can't bear to watch this. Be obedient, Junior Sister. Senior Sister will take you to visit Senior Brother Shen right away."
Lin Yibai raised her hand with an indignant look on her face and was about to pull Shen Qing.
There was a glint of excitement in her eyes as she nervously observed Shen Qing's reaction.
She was waiting, waiting for Shen Qing to shake off her hand and then push her away. Then, she would fall to the ground on purpose and complain to Xiao Jinglan.
Shen Qing saw through Lin Yibai's scheme at a glance. If it had been the Shen Qing of the previous life, knowing that Lin Yibai had ill intentions, she would indeed have shaken off her hand and then retorted sharply.
But now, Shen Qing didn't plan to do so.
She was going to use Lin Yibai's own scheme to defeat her.
Seeing a flash of cunning in Shen Qing's eyes, Lin Yibai wanted to withdraw her hand, but it was too late.
"Ah!"
The moment Lin Yibai touched Shen Qing, Shen Qing fell to the ground directly. Then she used her spiritual power to pinch her thigh hard. The pain instantly brought tears to her eyes.
Imitating Lin Yibai's appearance, Shen Qing showed her side face, her fair and slender neck, and looked at Xiao Jinglan pitifully.
If Xiao Jinglan didn't know Shen Qing, he would think that the scene at this moment was very beautiful, like a picture of a beautiful woman shedding tears.
But Xiao Jinglan knew that Shen Qing wasn't such a person. She would never shed tears in front of others casually. This was just her way of giving Lin Yibai a taste of her own medicine.
People were coming and going in this place. When Lin Yibai appeared, the male disciples around were attracted by her beauty.
Now that something unexpected happened, their gazes became even more blatant as they sized up the situation.
They had only thought that Lin Yibai was like a pure and beautiful little elf before, but now this little elf seemed to have been bullied and showed a wronged expression.
But now, they noticed the female disciple who had fallen to the ground. She seemed even more beautiful than Lin Yibai. She looked like a piece of beautiful jade that had not been discovered yet, fresh and lively.
Seeing such a beautiful woman lying on the ground crying, they instantly had a bad impression of Lin Yibai, and their gazes became meaningful.
Lin Yibai stared at Shen Qing on the ground in astonishment and keenly sensed the change in the gazes of the people around because of Shen Qing's unexpected move.
"System, how could this happen? They were clearly indulging in my beauty just now. Why have they all changed now!"
The system's voice was full of helplessness: "Host, you haven't successfully snatched anyone's luck yet, but you've already confronted the original female protagonist of the book. You tell me, aren't you being stupid?"
The system didn't know what else to say.
Back then, it was forced to leave its previous host and urgently needed to find a new one. So it wandered in various different worlds.
But after searching for a long time, the candidates it had taken a fancy to either refused it or thought the benefits it brought were too little.
Just when its power was about to be exhausted, it saw Lin Yibai, who was living a care - free life.
At that time, she had a head of black curly hair and was sitting in a bar in a red dress. Her sexy red lips were extremely alluring. With a gentle blink of her charming eyes, she was like a demon, captivating people's hearts.
It thought that Lin Yibai was the host it had been looking for for many years. Her means of playing with men were just right for going to the small world to snatch the halo of the female protagonist who was doted on by everyone and replacing the original female protagonist to become the new child of the Heavenly Dao.
But since it had brought Lin Yibai to this world for so long, except for successfully completing the task of approaching the Demon Lord at the beginning, there had been no progress at all in the task of snatching the female protagonist's luck on Nianbai Peak.
The system began to doubt itself. Maybe it had misjudged because of the exhaustion of its energy back then, which was why it had bound a useless person.
But now it was impossible to unbind. It could only grit its teeth and continue to help Lin Yibai.
Hearing the system's explanation, Lin Yibai instantly became furious: "Why didn't you tell me earlier? What should I do now? I've been put in a difficult situation by that bitch Shen Qing."
She didn't expect that the single - minded Shen Qing before actually had such tricks. It really caught her off guard.
Lin Yibai gritted her teeth.
No! She would never let Shen Qing force her into such a situation!
So, she pretended to be panicked and stepped forward to help Shen Qing up.
Shen Qing also didn't want to be watched like a monkey, so she got up following Lin Yibai's movement.
Lin Yibai was about to say something, but Shen Qing didn't give her the chance and preempted her:
"Sister Lin, I never thought you were such a person!"
Under the pitying gazes of the crowd, Shen Qing covered her face and ran away, leaving only Xiao Jinglan with a look of watching a show on his face.
But soon, Xiao Jinglan couldn't laugh anymore.
After Shen Qing left, Xiao Jinglan wanted to escape quickly, but Lin Yibai reacted too fast. She grabbed him and insisted on explaining to him.
But Xiao Jinglan had eyes to see what had really happened.
What surprised Xiao Jinglan was that as soon as Shen Qing left, the looks in the eyes of the male disciples around immediately changed.
The male disciples looked at him unfriendly, as if it was he who had made Lin Yibai cry.
Shen Qing ran into the nearby forest. To be on the safe side, she even spread out her divine sense to check if there was anyone around.
Seeing that there was no one, she put down her hands and showed a smiling face that had been hidden.
Acting and playing tricks on others in front of people was the first time for Shen Qing. And the person she played tricks on was the annoying Lin Yibai. She almost couldn't hold back her laughter and had to run away.
"I'm blind. I didn't know before that Fellow Daoist Shen was such a good actress."
A cold but smiling male voice came, which almost made Shen Qing laugh out of breath.
She turned around and saw that familiar, handsome face with cold features.
