The fairy always tries to corrupt my Dao heart.

Chapter 55 She Has to Thank Us

'Am I to become a wicked, married man?!'

Sitting opposite Su Lingyin, Shen Qingyu pondered her own feelings, while Su Lingyin, sitting opposite her, had already relaxed considerably.

"Qingqing, thank you."

Su Lingyin smiled slightly: "Luckily, I asked you to take care of Qing'an back then. If it were someone else, they might have already started seducing Qing'an."

As she spoke, she subtly observed her best friend's radiant face, her most captivating feature being her pair of almond-shaped eyes, though there was no trace of makeup on her face...

A woman dresses up for the man she loves, and since Qingqing didn't do that, it means she was overthinking things.

Su Lingyin felt a little more relaxed.

Upon hearing this, Shen Qingyu, who had been lost in thought, immediately tensed up. She felt that her best friend was testing her!
"Don't you even know who I am!" Shen Qingyu sneered smugly. "Only you could have taken a liking to him at first sight... Aside from being a bit handsome, a bit hardworking in cultivation, and a bit nice, he's just average in every other way!"

After a pause, Shen Qingyu added, "It looks nice but is useless; it's not even as good as a meat bun."

A smile flashed in Su Lingyin's eyes; her best friend really did prioritize food.

“So…” To avoid Su Lingyin asking any more questions, Shen Qingyu made a waving gesture first: “Quickly give me the token you prepared for him, so I can give it to him to exchange for the one I gave him…”

As she was speaking, Shen Qingyu paused. Her best friend was back, so was it inappropriate for her to say that she would watch over bad things for her?

But the words had already been spoken...

Shen Qingyu continued to ask without changing her expression, "When are you going to see him? He doesn't know you're back yet."

"That's why I wanted to see you first." Su Lingyin glanced at the maids who came in to serve the food. "What if he's lying to me?"

"Aren't you being too paranoid?" Shen Qingyu rolled her eyes at her. "If he were lying to you, he would have done it long ago. Why would he wait until now?"

Besides, if he accidentally finds out how little you trust him, he'll be hurt.

Su Lingyin chuckled softly: "Would you really tell him?"

"Of course not," Shen Qingyu said calmly. "But if the suspicion in your heart continues to develop, it will eventually show on your face. In addition, Yinyin, you cultivate the Dao of Forgetfulness. If you were to suffer a qi deviation, wouldn't that be a terrible thing?"

"That makes sense." Su Lingyin nodded slightly, then changed the subject: "But before they become mine, it's inevitable to feel anxious, isn't it?"

Yes!

Shen Qingyu silently agreed in her heart; only she knew how anxious she had been these past few days.

"Then hurry up and get on it."

After hesitating for a moment, Shen Qingyu reminded him meaningfully, "He's been pursuing you for so long and you haven't made any commitment. After you left this time, he didn't even bother to buy a new communication compass to contact you."

She decided to put some pressure on Su Lingyin beforehand.

What if she gets exposed later... Putting aside the facts, isn't Su Lingyin, who's been keeping the bad guy hanging, just innocent?

Thinking about it, Shen Qingyu leaned forward slightly, her gaze sweeping over the large pomelo her best friend had placed on the edge of the table, then straightened up without making a sound and continued, "Yinyin, you need to be careful, or he really won't like you anymore!"

Shen Qingyu thought she was a genius.

As long as you say things like "take it seriously" or "be wary," your best friend will never doubt you.

Normally, I would advise her not to interfere too much in Li Qing'an's affairs...

Seeing the smile gradually disappear from Su Lingyin's face, Shen Qingyu felt a strange sense of pleasure rising in her heart.

She even thought of a phrase: incompetent husband.

If this were Yinyin, she'd be considered an incompetent wife. Right now, she's completely kept in the dark...

Shen Qingyu's lips unconsciously curled into a smile: "Yinyin, although he still goes to the City Lord's Mansion to look for you, he'd rather go to a City Lord's Mansion where he knows you're not there than buy a new communication compass to contact you..."

This still says something; at the very least... he doesn't like you as much as he used to.

"Nonsense!" Su Lingyin retorted instinctively, then looked at Shen Qingyu with a suspicious gaze: "You're not trying to sow discord between me and Qing'an, are you?"

"..."

Shen Qingyu's heart skipped a beat. Oh no, she had talked too much.

"Yinyin, look at you!" Shen Qingyu immediately became unhappy: "You were the one who asked me to help keep an eye on Li Qingan, and now that I'm reporting the situation to you, you're saying I'm trying to sow discord?"

She stood up angrily: "If I say something good about Li Qing'an, will you think I'm having an affair with him again?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Shen Qingyu slammed her hand on the table: "You're right about everything, good or bad. You asked me to keep an eye on him because you think I'm your good friend and won't really be angry?!"

Su Lingyin stared at Shen Qingyu in astonishment; it was the first time she had ever seen her best friend so angry.

I... do seem to have gone too far.

"I'm sorry." Su Lingyin quickly grabbed Shen Qingyu's hand. "That's not what I meant, I..."

Feeling the warmth of Su Lingyin's palm, Shen Qingyu felt quite pleased with herself.

See? She even has to apologize to us.

But... Shen Qingyu felt that she had gone a bit too far. What if she accidentally exposed herself one day? Wouldn't she be beaten to death by Yinyin?

"I was just kidding." Shen Qingyu chuckled, sat down again, picked up a piece of braised pork and stuffed it into her mouth: "We're like family, aren't we? Of the three of us, you and I are the closest."

Li Qingan is an outsider. How could we possibly argue over a man? You agree, right?

Su Lingyin nodded: "Yes."

She stared intently at Shen Qingyu sitting opposite her, a faint smile playing on her lips: "But you're wrong about one thing. You won't argue for him, but I will."

"It's none of my business." Shen Qingyu took a sip of tea. "Do whatever you want, I'll just do my own thing."

"Thank you." Su Lingyin smiled slightly. "You're still the one I trust the most."

See? She's starting to thank us.

At this moment, Shen Qingyu felt extremely excited, but she was also unsure of what to call her feelings, so after hesitating for a moment, she asked, "When are the three of us... going to have a meal together?"

The poultry that someone gave us bad stuff last time haven't even been touched yet, but now they're all fatter and fatter, it's time to slaughter them!

"Let me think..." Su Lingyin pondered for a moment, "How about..."

Before he could finish speaking, the voice of the communication compass suddenly rang out.

Su Lingyin and Shen Qingyu simultaneously took out their respective communication compasses and looked at them, their eyes flashing with surprise and doubt.

Lingzhi and Wanqiu each sent them a similar message—

Daozong has officially issued an arrest warrant for Li Qing'an.

The charge was murdering his master and stealing his treasure.
