Chapter 173 A Traitor, Someone Else's Plaything
Chu Ling'er sat obediently, her fair skin and delicate features making her look like a tiny dumpling.
Lin Xuan looked at Chu Ling'er and liked her more and more, and a fatherly smile involuntarily appeared on his face.
He made up his mind to bring her home and protect Chu Ling'er at all costs, and he would never let Gu Qing harm a single hair on Chu Ling'er's head.
"Yao'er, as long as Ling'er becomes my disciple, I will protect her completely, and no one will dare to harm her in the slightest." Lin Xuan put down his teacup, his expression serious and earnest.
"Thank you for your kind words, Master Uncle, but my sister's talent is mediocre and she is truly unfit for such a great responsibility." Chu Yao refused directly, sneering inwardly.
No one dared to cause the slightest harm?
Before you say that, do you want to think about how your five disciples died?
As if he had anticipated Chu Yao's refusal, Lin Xuan immediately took out two jade pendants, smiled slightly, and said calmly.
"This jade pendant contains a wisp of my soul. As long as you do not accept challenges from others, it can protect you from harm."
He felt that Chu Yao's refusal to allow Chu Ling'er to become his disciple must be due to the deaths of his five disciples.
And then there were those two nominal disciples who were accepted in the morning and died in the afternoon.
Now that he has given away the Soul-Splitting Jade Pendant, unless one is at the Divine Fire Realm, it will absolutely not be able to harm a single hair on either of their heads.
Lin Xuan had a smile on his lips.
He couldn't believe that Chu Yao would refuse him even though he valued the two sisters so much.
He believed that once he passed on his supreme martial arts techniques to Chu Ling'er and bestowed upon her a priceless treasure, Chu Yao would be swayed and switch her allegiance to him.
After all, people strive for higher positions, and water flows downhill.
"Please take it back, Master Uncle. My sister will absolutely not become your disciple." Chu Yao said resolutely.
Since Lin Xuan can't understand human language, then don't blame her for speaking bluntly and embarrassing him.
Lin Xuan's smile froze on his face as he stared at Chu Yao in astonishment.
No, he gave Chu Yao the Enlightenment Jade and the Mother-Child Substitute Divine Fruit, didn't Chu Yao feel any gratitude or excitement?
Why wasn't Chu Yao overwhelmed with gratitude and honored when he lowered himself to accept a disciple?
Looking at the alluring and charming Chu Yao, Lin Xuan felt for some reason that Chu Yao was acting strangely today, completely different from the Chu Yao he had imagined.
Lin Xuan was starting to doubt his life. He felt like he was losing face after being rejected one after another.
If it weren't for the system's mandatory task requiring him to take on a disciple, Lin Xuan wouldn't have lowered himself so much.
After all, Chu Ling'er's aptitude was not high, and the rewards for taking on disciples were very limited, and even of no help to him.
Lin Xuan took a deep breath, his face grim: "Why?"
"Uncle-Master, let me be frank. If Ling'er becomes your disciple, how will you explain it to Uncle-Master Zhimeng?" Chu Yao said expressionlessly.
Upon hearing this, Lin Xuan pondered for a moment, his expression confident and composed, and he couldn't help but chuckle.
"Ah, so you're afraid of Zhi Meng." He breathed a sigh of relief.
He said calmly, "Don't worry, I will keep Ling'er by my side. Even if Zhi Meng goes mad and attacks Ling'er, I can protect her."
He had already decided that once he brought this adorable, top-quality loli home, he would keep her hanging on his waistband every day.
"Master Uncle, what about my Chu family? How are the millions of members of my Chu family supposed to conduct themselves?" Chu Yao asked coldly.
"..."
What does the life or death of your Chu family have to do with me?
Lin Xuan almost blurted it out.
In his eyes, he wasn't the Chu family's nanny. The fact that he took Chu Ling'er in was already a stroke of good fortune for the Chu family.
Furthermore, Lin Xuan subconsciously felt that since Chu Yao admired him so much, she should disregard everything and become his disciple.
But when Chu Yao brought up the Chu family, Lin Xuan was completely dumbfounded.
For a moment, they were speechless.
Because he couldn't very well say that Zhi Meng wouldn't take action against the Chu family, could he?
Or perhaps he will protect the Chu family.
Would Chu Yao, with her shrewdness, believe it?
"Master Uncle, you don't want my family to be destroyed and me to become a fugitive with you, do you?"
Seeing that he remained silent, Chu Yao couldn't help but speak sarcastically.
Upon hearing this, Lin Xuan's expression cracked inch by inch, as if his fig leaf had been ripped off, and anger spread from the bottom of his heart.
Lin Xuan took a deep breath and said with a wry smile, "Yao'er, am I that kind of person?"
“Of course not, Uncle-Master, but he did it anyway.” Chu Yao gave him a little face, but not much.
Lin Xuan's face looked as if he had eaten two dead rats.
Chu Yao's words were clearly a veiled insult to him, implying that he was either an idiot or deliberately trying to destroy the Chu family.
Lin Xuan was devastated.
Looking at Chu Yao, his eyes were filled with disbelief.
It's unbelievable that someone in a temperature of 37 degrees Celsius could say such cold things.
Press his face to the ground and rub it, rub it, and rub it some more.
Is this still Chu Yao, his junior disciple who admires and is grateful to him?
Lin Xuan remained silent, looking at the alluring and charming Chu Yao, questioning the meaning of life.
He always felt things shouldn't be this way.
But Lin Xuan didn't know exactly what went wrong.
"Ling'er."
Gu Qing's voice broke the deathly silence.
Upon hearing this, Chu Ling'er's bright, sparkling eyes lit up, as if they were filled with stars.
With her short legs moving swiftly, she leaped into Gu Qing's arms.
"Brother Gu Qing!"
"Ok!"
Gu Qing hummed in agreement, lifted her little bottom with one hand, and inhaled the familiar natural fragrance, along with a faint milky scent, feeling somewhat intoxicated.
He couldn't resist pinching her fair and tender cheeks, then looked at Chu Yao with admiration.
He had arrived long ago, and Chu Yao's angry rebuke of Lin Xuan had broadened his horizons.
Chu Yao is incredibly clear-headed.
A level 10 traitor in the heroine's camp.
We must reward her with some Xuanhuang Mother Qi later.
Thinking this, Gu Qing then looked at Lin Xuan.
Even if he could lift a little girl with one hand, he would still be fearless in the Divine Fire Realm.
"you……"
"you……"
Upon seeing this, Lin Xuan's eyes bulged, and he trembled with rage.
His mind was reeling.
Seeing Chu Ling'er clinging to Gu Qing, Lin Xuan felt like he was going crazy.
"Elder Lin Xuan, you want to take my woman as your disciple?" Gu Qing asked with a mocking smile, as if he were examining a fool.
"puff!"
woman?
Is Chu Ling'er Gu Qing's woman?
The perfect loli he'd been dreaming about day and night had actually taken the form of Gu Qing?!
Lin Xuan felt his blood rush to his head, and he was so angry that he vomited blood. He couldn't accept it at all.
My heart felt like it was being pricked by countless needles, a sharp, tingling pain.
At this moment, Lin Xuan felt like a stupid, resentful fool.
"You lied to me?" Lin Xuan looked at Chu Yao, his voice breaking down.
"Uncle-Master, you never asked, and I never said that Ling'er was unmarried, so how can you say I'm deceiving you?"
Chu Yao remained calm as she quietly walked behind Gu Qing, her smile alluring and her fiery red lips vibrant, and slowly began to speak.
"Tell the truth to my master, Ling'er was brought back by Young Master Gu. My father had already given Ling'er to Young Master Gu long ago."
"..."
"deliver?"
Hearing this, Lin Xuan felt even more pain in his heart.
The little girl he cherished so dearly, the one he vowed to protect, turned out to be a plaything given to Gu Qing by someone else.
Lin Xuan wished he could turn back time, go back to the beginning, slap Chu Ling'er's father to death, and then take Chu Ling'er away.
"Elder Lin Xuan, do you still want to take Ling'er as your disciple? If not, you'd better leave now."
Gu Qing's voice was sarcastic, and after he finished speaking, Chu Ling'er's delicate body stiffened in his arms.
Gu Qing patted her on one side, signaling her not to overthink it.
"Walk?"
Lin Xuan's eyes were bloodshot.
Chu Yao and Gu Qing deceived him so badly, yet Gu Qing thought he could just dismiss him with a single sentence?
