Chapter 221: CH 117.1

Lin Xinghe was shocked.

Xie Wuan’s internal shout of “why” really frightened her.

… Why what?

… Did she need a reason to not crush on Xie Wuan?

For the first time, Lin Xinghe’s mask slipped up, and she looked at Xie Wuan with a hint of trepidation.

Xie Wuan calmly sent the plant in front of Lin Xinghe and said, “Why do you have a look of horror on your face? Oh, do you think it is ordinary?”

Without waiting for Lin Xinghe to reply, he continued “It’s really ordinary, just a flowerpot with a plant inside. After leaving this examination room, I’ll give you a better one from my infinite space…”

He pondered slightly and said, “I have a species of rare celestial grass called Qiongjiang. Just watering it with ordinary water will make it produce nectar and liquid jade*. If you want to drink juice, just think about juice when you water the plant.”

*TL Note: This is an idiom for a type of elixir that allows one to speed up their cultivation to immortality.

Lin Xinghe said, “That’s pretty amazing.”

Xie Wuan urged, “This pot is only a commonplace item, and it cannot be compared with the Qiongjiang.”

Lin Xinghe said, “It’s too precious, Xianjun, I…”

Xie Wuan replied, “How can the things this illustrious one offers be vulgar? How would this illustrious one give others vulgar things in front of so many viewers? If people found out, what would happen to this illustrious one’s reputation? Wouldn’t other people think that this illustrious one has nothing good in his infinite space?”

Xie Wuxin’s voice——

“Hm, has this illustrious one ever cared about other people’s opinions?”

“No, I want Lin Xinghe to know that there are countless treasures sitting in my illustrious self’s infinite space, and liking this seat has only advantages and no disadvantages…”

“As long as she likes my illustrious self, this illustrious one can even create a moving forest for her.”

“She must not have realized that my illustrious self is excellent.”

“If she doesn’t like the Qiongjiang, this illustrious one also has a magic mirror in this seat. It was dropped in a xianxia examination room and can create clothes out of one’s imagination…”

“Oh no, never mind.”

“It was useless at the time, so I destroyed it…”

“…It doesn’t matter. This illustrious one will just make another one for her.”

“At that time, she will definitely be happy. Her eyes will brighten, and she will develop affection for my illustrious self.”

Lin Xinghe originally wanted to reject Xie Wuan’s Qiongjiang. After all, it was too precious. However, before she could make her rejection clear, Xie Wuan’s internal dialogue pinged in her mind, which put Lin Xinghe at a loss.

… Was Xie Wuan trying to pursue her?

… Or did her explanations and clarifications make him feel like he overthought the whole situation, so he was trying to save face?

So far…

It seemed more like the latter.

Lin Xinghe didn’t want to fight about this. Xie Wuan’s brain made up so much. After he felt vindicated enough, she would act heartbroken, and everything would be behind them.

It was better than Xie Wuan internally screaming “why doesn’t she like this illustrious one?”

It was as if she was a heartless person who did something nasty.

Lin Xinghe said slowly, “Then… thank you, Xianjun …”

The audience was bamboozled.

【…No, I just slept, how did the exam style change after I woke up? 】

【Xianjun, wake up! Do you know what you are doing? 】

【I have never seen Xianjun say so many words at once…】

【I… have never seen Xie Wuan give anything to anyone, oh, except for Xiao Xue Ji. 】

【Fuck! Xie Wuan likes Lin Xinghe! 】

【I never expected Xianjun to be such a person…】

【Unexpected!】

【No, I’m still in the loop. Hasn’t Boss Xie been cold to Lin Xinghe all the time? Why did his attitude change suddenly after Lin Xinghe explained that she didn’t like him? 】

【I have a bold guess! Boss Xie has always liked Lin Xinghe! I also think that Lin Xinghe likes him! But as he’s a love noob, he didn’t know how to express it. After Lin Xinghe tried to explain the circumstances, he felt sad and decided to pursue Lin Xinghe! This can also explain why Boss Xie didn’t get a wink of sleep last night! 】

【Am I the only one who thinks that thanks to the big boss’s relationship experience, it is very likely that he does not know that he likes Lin Xinghe? 】

【So, now we know that Xie Wuan likes Lin Xinghe, but they don’t know that they have mutual affections? Oh wow! 】

【Crying, crying! The plot took a three hundred and sixty degree turn. The money CP will live on forever! For ever! 】

【Goodbye Comrade Xiaopu! 】

【Goodbye Ling Xiran! 】

【Goodbye Snow Maiden! 】

【From today onwards, I will only stan Xie Wuan! 】

When Xie Wuan saw that Lin Xinghe had accepted his Qiongjiang, he became more sympathetic to Xiao Zang.
