Chapter 307: Chapter 241 Liang Lu Doubts Life_2
A warm, lukewarm soft jade was successfully grasped in Jiang Cheng’s palm; Snake’s consistent body temperature gave Jiang Cheng a considerable sense of security.

“Where are you going?”

Jiang Cheng held her hand, not letting her leave.

Although, to Liu Qing, Jiang Cheng’s strength and her attempt to stop her were almost non-existent.

But miraculously, the Demon Race expert who even the powerful figures of the Immortal Sect couldn’t retain was forcefully held in place by Jiang Cheng’s hand-holding spell.

“Where are you going?” Jiang Cheng asked again, this time holding her hand, with a determination to know.

Liu Qing glanced at a spot not far away.

There stood a public water dispenser in the library.

Jiang Cheng:…

“You scared me to death.” Jiang Cheng let out a huge sigh of relief.

He had thought that Snake was about to run away from home.

“Drink water?” Liu Qing asked.

“Yes, let’s go.”

The two went to the public water dispenser together.

Liu Qing wanted to reach for a disposable cup, but she could only move one hand now.

“Hand,” she reminded.

Jiang Cheng turned his head away and pretended not to hear.

Liu Qing blinked her bright eyes and then fell silent.

“What are they doing?”

Shen Menghan asked Yue Linger as they passed by.

“Drinking water maybe? But it doesn’t seem like it, what kind of water takes an hour to drink?”

“By the way, where is Liang Lu? Wasn’t she working with Liu Qing?”

“Right! She hasn’t had an accident, has she?”

Yue Linger and Shen Menghan hurried to the library to check.

The good news was, Liang Lu hadn’t had an accident; the bad news was, she hadn’t noticed anything amiss and was currently busily checking the Cultivation Technique manuals.

Yue Linger: “Liang Lu, you’re really diligent when you work.”

Liang Lu wiped the sweat from her forehead and said, “Thanks, but what’s with that look in your eyes?”

Yue Linger: “Liang Lu, I approve of you; you’re really cut out for the married life.”

Liang Lu was thoroughly confused: “Your compliments are so odd, why do I feel like I’ve been scolded?”

…

In Qingxuan University’s activity room, Li Qingge, Mo Ningdan, and Yan Yue surrounded Lin Yao.

Li Qingge: “How’s it going? Are you confident you can attract Jiang Cheng’s attention?”

Mo Ningdan: “Did you encounter Liang Lu? What’s her situation now?”

Yan Yue: “Lin Yao, Jiang Cheng didn’t do anything to you, right? I hope he’s consistent inside and out, not some hypocrite who is only interested when he sees beauty.”

Lin Yao responded calmly one by one: “Seniors, the plan is proceeding smoothly, I’ve successfully met with Jiang Cheng on Capital University’s campus. With my advantages, I’ve easily connected with Jiang Cheng. He trusts me for now and hasn’t done anything strange, please don’t worry, seniors. As for Liang Lu, I haven’t seen her; she should still be in the library.”

Mo Ningdan, upon hearing this, frowned: “It’s that easy? Are our plans proceeding too smoothly?”

Yan Yue pinched Lin Yao’s cheek and said: “Our Yaoyao is so beautiful, with her charm, not to mention Jiang Cheng, even the geniuses of the Immortal Sect would be mesmerized and lose their wits.”

“That’s also true,” Mo Ningdan said.

They had discussed privately among Core Formation members; with Lin Yao’s current level of attractiveness, she was close to the Holy Maiden level of Taixu Sect, and among the many beauties of Taixu Sect, she was still outstanding. Being beautiful might not mean much in other Immortal Sects, but in Taixu Sect, it was a significant advantage, even in competing for the status of Holy Maiden, there was a high rate of success.

After all, Taixu Sect is such a place where even the Cultivation Techniques must first aspire to be aesthetic before practicality.

With that caliber to seduce Jiang Cheng, indeed there was no reason for failure.

“Mo, you go contact Liang Lu quickly and ask about Jiang Cheng’s schedule for tomorrow, so we can arrange a coincidence for Lin Yao and Jiang Cheng to meet. Looking at it now, the rapport between the two of them is heating up quickly; we must strike while the iron is hot and increase their interactions,” Li Qingge said.

“Okay,” Mo Ningdan replied and immediately went to contact Liang Lu.

“Li, Liang Lu says Jiang Cheng has no plans for tomorrow.”

“How can that be? Have Liang Lu schedule something with Jiang Cheng.”

“Okay.”

A moment later, Mo Ningdan spoke again: “Li, Liang Lu is asking where you want to schedule the meeting?”

Li Qingge nearly choked on his blood, but managed to hold it in.

“`

“With someone like Liang Lu, I feel like getting Lin Yao involved is completely unnecessary. Maybe after a while, Jiang Cheng will naturally lose interest in her.”

Yan Yue said, “Li, don’t underestimate her. Liang Lu has good conditions in all aspects and is a very balanced cultivator. As long as Liang Lu is willing, there’s no reason for Jiang Cheng to pass up the opportunity.”

“That’s true.”

Mo Ningdan urged, “Li, where should we arrange for Liang Lu to meet with Jiang Cheng?”

Li Qingge got anxious: “How would I know? I haven’t dated either!”

Mo Ningdan: …

Yan Yue: …

Lin Yao: …

Everyone inside: With that attitude, you have the nerve to criticize Liang Lu?

In the end, it was Lin Yao, the youngest among them, who spoke up: “How about meeting near the lifestyle plaza close to Qingxuan University? There’s a mall there, and they can go shopping.”

The three seniors fell silent.

The reason was that they thought Lin Yao made sense. This was equivalent to Lin Yao teaching them how to do things. A seventeen-year-old advising people over a hundred years old was fine but a bit embarrassing.

“Let’s just do as Lin Yao suggests. Let Liang Lu invite Jiang Cheng for a shopping trip,” Li Qingge decided.

“Hold on,” Lin Yao interrupted, “we can’t use shopping as an excuse. Jiang Cheng would one hundred percent refuse. Let Liang Lu use a serious reason that Jiang Cheng can’t refuse, like ‘I want to learn how to draw talismans, but I don’t know how to buy the materials. Please, Jiang Cheng, help me’.”

Mo Ningdan said, “But from what I’ve heard Liang Lu say, it seems Jiang Cheng has a female talisman master with him. What if she wants to come along too?”

Lin Yao replied, “That’s easy. First, let Liang Lu make an appointment for a time, say, four o’clock in the afternoon, then around one-thirty p.m., send a communication talisman only to Jiang Cheng, claim there is an emergency, and ask him to come out quickly. If Jiang Cheng is available, he’ll definitely come out ahead of schedule. That way they can be alone.”

Hiss!!!

Li Qingge and the others looked at Lin Yao with shocked expressions.

Her methods were a bit too cunning!

She had Jiang Cheng pinned down!

Like a sly and patient hunter laying traps step by step, luring Jiang Cheng onto the hook.

“Lin Yao, how come you understand Jiang Cheng so well?” Li Qingge couldn’t help but ask.

“Cough, it’s a talent, just talent.”

Lin Yao definitely couldn’t admit that she not only understood him, but had also been longing for Jiang Cheng for a while. She could only brush it off with the excuse of talent.

However, Li Qingge and the others didn’t probe further, taking Lin Yao’s words for truth, as there indeed were cultivators born with the ability to manipulate male cultivators’ emotions within the Taixu Sect, like the one who split the Tongtian Sect back in the day.

Thanks to the thorough planning, Liang Lu’s meeting with Jiang Cheng was effortless.

The next afternoon, around one-thirty p.m. near the lifestyle plaza close to Qingxuan University, Liang Lu stood at the agreed spot, waiting for Jiang Cheng to arrive.

Given that she had the foundation of appearance imparted by Consort Li, Liang Lu’s beauty was naturally beyond reproach.

She had made just a little effort to dress up and had already achieved nearly a hundred percent turn-back rate on the lifestyle plaza.

Liang Lu had not waited for five minutes when she encountered Lin Yao who was also there waiting for Jiang Cheng.

Today’s Lin Yao, also dressed casually, caught Liang Lu’s eye in a new light.

In Liang Lu’s memory, Lin Yao was mostly dressed in school uniform or sportswear, which, despite her natural beauty, acted as a negative score, holding her back.

Today, dressed in casual clothes, she indeed looked prettier than usual.

“Liang, you’re early, aren’t you?”

Lin Yao retorted without reservation, “Yes, if I don’t come early, what if the wild cats steal the cat food?”

Liang Lu scoffed, “Your tongue is sharper than your sword, Liang, but duels aren’t won just by the sword alone.”

“Are you saying that you have a guaranteed-to-win magical treasure, Liang?”

“Not exactly, but unlike you, I was born into a prominent family, and dealing with people is not as difficult for me.”

From a short distance away, Jiang Cheng approached, surprised, “Liang Lu? Why is Lin Yao here too?”

Liang Lu gave a small smile, ready to show Lin Yao some of her moves.

But she was utterly taken aback when Lin Yao, taking the initiative, rushed straight to Jiang Cheng and hugged him, calling out, “Jiang!”

Liang Lu rubbed her eyes on the spot.

She had a hard time believing what she was witnessing.

Was this shameless little actress really the Lin Yao she knew?
