Chapter 306: Chapter 241: Liang Lu Questions Her Life Choices
It’s over!

Jiang Cheng only had one thought at this moment.

He’s doomed!

Because he was held up by Lin Yao, he had very little time to pack lunch and, in his haste to pack and rush on his way, he had neglected the fact that Snake has quite the sense of smell!

The previous incident where he was locked out for not reporting his visit to the Jiaofang Division was still fresh in Jiang Cheng’s mind.

With Lin Yao rubbing against him for so long this time, the scent must be strong. If Snake gets displeased again…

Jiang Cheng didn’t know if he would be lucky enough to enter the door this time.

The atmosphere suddenly became extremely tense.

Unexpectedly, Liu Qing sniffed Jiang Cheng carefully but said nothing, and her expression didn’t change either.

Huh?

Why didn’t she react?

Something’s off.

There must be a problem somewhere.

Although he was temporarily in luck, Jiang Cheng didn’t let down his guard.

Based on his understanding of Liu Qing, she’s not a simple and good Snake. As a top predator, she has a strong sense of territory.

Usually, even the waterfowl by the lake near her balcony are intimidated, not daring to relieve themselves willy-nilly.

Liu Qing wasn’t finished after sniffing, and Liang Lu, mimicking her actions, ran over and sniffed Jiang Cheng as well.

“Liang, what are you doing?”

“Jiang Cheng, you smell like a woman!” Liang Lu said, eager to stir up trouble.

Jiang Cheng: “Liang, are you a dog or something?”

Liang Lu crossed her arms in dissatisfaction: “Jiang Cheng, is there really any need to speak so rudely to a fellow Cultivator?”

“I’m not being rude, I’m just complimenting you on your keen sense of smell.”

Liang Lu revealed the truth despite knowing better:”My sense of smell is actually pretty average. It’s just that I’m too familiar with the scent on you. Did Lin Yao come to see you?”

Lin Yao?

Apart from Liang Lu, Yue Linger and Shen Menghan perked up their ears. This was a rare gossip opportunity.

Seemingly indifferent, Jiang Cheng said, “I bumped into her on the way to buy lunch. We chatted briefly; it’s been over half a year since we last saw each other, and she’s changed quite a bit.”

According to the intelligence Liang Lu knew, Lin Yao’s goal was to attract Jiang Cheng’s attention.

However, based on her understanding of Jiang Cheng and Lin Yao, the odds of Lin Yao succeeding were slim!

Firstly, Lin Yao had a blunt personality, and the only thing about her that could attract Jiang Cheng was her appearance. Although Lin Yao was indeed very beautiful, Jiang Cheng wasn’t the type to act impulsively on lust. Besides, with beauties like Liu Qing and Yue Linger revolving around Jiang Cheng every day, Lin Yao couldn’t possibly keep Jiang Cheng’s attention based on looks alone.

But Liang Lu was quite eager to see Lin Yao’s awkward demeanor when trying to attract Jiang Cheng, one that didn’t match her personality. By then, she would also take the chance to lecture Lin Yao based on her relationship with Jiang Cheng.

Let Lin Yao know that Cultivating Immortality isn’t about diligent hard work, but about romantic sophistication.

Liang Lu even thought of what to say: Lin Yao Daoist, your personality is suited for arduous Immortal Technique practice. As for romance and poetic sentiment, those mortal trifles are not for you. Don’t strain yourself too much. Jiang Cheng is more suitable with me.

“She didn’t ask you to do anything?” Liang Lu asked probingly.

“No.” Jiang Cheng answered truthfully.

“Alright then.”

Liang Lu wasn’t in a hurry; after all, with the pressure from Taixu Sect, Lin Yao would undoubtedly contact Jiang Cheng again eventually.

In the afternoon, the task for the Dayan Sect was to do the final finishing touches on the library of Capital University.

The main tasks were to organize and confirm the placement of Demonic Tao cultivation techniques, clean up the rubbing area, and conduct verification and handover with the library’s administrator.

Shen and Sister Yue were assigned by Jiang Cheng to clean the area.

Liu Qing and Liang Lu were in charge of organizing and placing the cultivation technique books on the shelves, as well as verifying the placement of Demon Sect techniques.

Jiang Cheng’s job was to work with the library’s administrator for the handover.

Seeing Liu Qing kneeling down meticulously to verify the positioning of the techniques and with nothing else to do at the moment, Jiang Cheng decided to take out the meditation mat he used during his practice, to pad her knees.

Although being concerned about the body of a cultivator in the Mahayana Realm sounded quite absurd, Jiang Cheng, watching Liu Qing working so diligently, just couldn’t bear it.

He always felt an inexplicable debt to her.

“Use this to pad your knees,” Jiang Cheng offered the mat.

Liu Qing was carefully checking the placement of secret manuals of techniques.

“Liu Qing?”

Liu Qing continued her meticulous inspection as if she hadn’t heard him.

Jiang Cheng understood.

What was bound to come, would come.

Liu Qing not reacting during the meal didn’t mean she could accept the scent of Lin Yao on him.

After a moment’s thought, Jiang Cheng decided to put down the mat and went to run two laps on the Capital University sports field.

The wind blowing and his sweating should definitely cover up Lin Yao’s scent.

More than half an hour later, having finished running, Jiang Cheng returned to the library to offer the mat to help Snake pad her knees.

If Snake was willing to kneel on the mat to work, it would mean she had forgiven him.

If Snake was unwilling, then the matter would be a bit complicated, indicating she was unhappy for reasons other than just the scent.

“Liu Qing, the mat.”

This time, Liu Qing glanced at Jiang Cheng, sniffed her nose, stood up silently, and walked toward the exit of the library.

“Hey? Where are you going?” Jiang Cheng called after her, but she didn’t turn back.

Jiang Cheng had a bad feeling, thinking that since he had eliminated the scent, there was no reason for Liu Qing to be even more upset!

No!

He had to chase after her!

If she was in a bad mood and decided to take it out on some people or buildings, that would be the end of it.

“Liu Qing.”

Jiang Cheng chased after her out of the door, only to find Liu Qing walking stiffly towards the borrowing area next to the library, not looking like she was planning to go downstairs on an indiscriminate killing spree. He wondered what she planned to do.

With the library that housed Demonic Tao cultivation techniques usually empty, it was even more deserted during the holidays.

Jiang Cheng didn’t have to worry about the gaze of others, so he caught up with Liu Qing in two steps and proactively tried to take her hand.
