Quick Transmigration: Survive to the End

Yinyin looked at it for a while and said, "It looks kind of familiar."

Hongyao laughed upon hearing this, "Jingjing kept it a secret; she didn't even tell you."

“Auntie,” Yin Yin said, clutching her heart and feigning heartache, “Don’t say anything more. It’s my fault for not caring enough about my sister.”

Xuan Nu glanced at the two of them, not even wanting to say anything to them.

However, the group from Yaochi Palace tacitly waited in place to see when Lin Jingjing would discover them.

However, they overestimated Lin Jingjing. The first to discover them was the man beside Lin Jingjing.

Seeing that the group of people were all dressed in the style of the Jade Pool Palace, and that there were several familiar faces, Lin Jingjing immediately calmed down, left the man behind, and walked over.

When she arrived, the carriage curtain was lifted, and Lin Jingjing saw that Xuan Nu, Yin Yin, and Hong Yao were sitting inside. She couldn't help but feel guilty and timidly called out, "Master, are you also going to Jianmen Mountain?"

Xuan Nu glanced at her: "Aren't you going to call the person over so I can see them?"

Lin Jingjing was still hesitating, but Yinyin seemed to remember why the face looked familiar.

"Is that Young Master Xiaoyuan?"

After Lin Jingjing nodded, Yinyin said to the other two, "Our family and the Yuan family have been friends for generations. Young Master Yuan and my sister grew up together. We only saw each other less after we became our master's disciples."

After listening to Yin Yin's introduction, Lin Jingjing secretly breathed a sigh of relief, looked up and gave her sister a thank-you look, and then gestured for Yuan Zhongkang to come closer.

Yin Yin's words just now revealed that she had concealed a lot of things, but Xuan Nu saw how the two sisters were working together and decided to ask them for details later.

Yuan Zhongkang walked closer and promptly performed a common courtesy in the martial arts world: "Greetings, Your Excellency."

Seeing that his steps were light and his movements rhythmic, Yin Yin guessed that he had already learned martial arts, had a master, and was probably quite skilled.

After nodding and asking him a few questions, Xuan Nu showed that she wanted to see him off, but allowed him to follow behind the Yaochi Palace procession.

After Yuan Zhongkang left, Lin Jingjing hesitantly boarded the carriage. Before she knew it, she was sitting opposite the three men, giving off the air of a three-way interrogation.

“Jingjing,” Hongyao asked, “when did you start traveling with others in the martial world?”

"If you've fallen for him, you should bring him back openly, just like the other disciples. As long as he can pass the sect's tests, how could we possibly refuse?"

"Or is it that person isn't someone you like?"

The Mystic Maiden said at the right moment, "If you don't like it, but he still keeps bothering you, then we have plenty of ways to deal with it."

Lin Jingjing was already feeling a little guilty, and now that Hongyao and Xuan Nu had put on stern faces, looking like they were going to cause trouble for Yuan Zhongkang, she could only stammer, "Master, Aunt, I... I don't dislike him that much."

Yinyin turned her head to look at the window frame to the side. It seemed that there was no need to ask any more questions about the result.

Clearly, Xuan Nu and the other woman also noticed Lin Jingjing's attitude, and the number of questions immediately increased.

Yinyin, standing nearby, also passively learned that Yuan Zhongkang had taken a hermit as his master about five years ago, and in that short time, he had already become a second-rate expert. He was still unmarried. He had only started traveling the martial world with her this year, though she had seen him twice when she returned home a couple of years ago.

Upon hearing the last sentence, both Xuan Nu and Hong Yao looked at Yin Yin.

Yinyin quickly said, "I've only gone back for Chinese New Year these past two years, so I haven't seen many outsiders."

Especially since she had never met Yuan Zhongkang with her sister.

Xuan Nu and the other woman still trusted her, and turned their attention back to Lin Jingjing.

After a moment of silence, Xuan Nu asked, "Do your parents know?"

Lin Jingjing shook her head vigorously, then cautiously said, "I haven't told you yet, Master. My parents certainly don't know either."

"Besides," Lin Jingjing said with a touch of arrogance, "I haven't agreed yet!"

Xuan Nu's expression softened somewhat, and she said nothing more.

Lin Jingjing, however, kept glancing out of the carriage after being inside for a while. A short while later, she excused herself, saying there were too many people in the carriage, and went outside to ride a horse.

Xuan Nu gave her a deep look, then, with a headache, chased her out.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for Lin Jingjing's horse to slow down and fall to the back.

Hongxiu lowered the curtain with a hint of exasperation, ceasing her peek: "This child used to seem quite decisive, how come he's become so unreliable now?"

Upon hearing this, Xuan Nu said to Yin Yin, "Write a letter back to your father later and tell him about it."

“Since the Yuan family and your family have had a long-standing relationship, he must know more about you and be clearer about whether Yuan Zhongkang is suitable for Jingjing.”

Yinyin nodded in agreement, then smiled and said, "Master is so kind."

"Oh?" Xuan Nu glanced at her. "What's so good about it?"

"That's too many," Yin Yin sincerely listed several items, and finally concluded, "You are a master that is hard to find even with a lantern!"

Xuan Nu smiled and pointed in Yin Yin's direction from afar: "You have such a sweet tongue, you're always good at sweet-talking people."

Upon arriving at the next inn where she would rest, Yin Yin first wrote a letter back home.

Lin Jingjing had come looking for her, but didn't see her. Just as she was about to come out, she bumped into her at the door.

"Yinyin, where did you go? Why did you come up from downstairs?"

Yinyin didn't hide it from her: "Master told me to write a letter to my father."

"Huh?" Lin Jingjing blushed. "Why are you writing a letter to Father? Did you give the letter to the shopkeeper? I'll go get it right now."

Yinyin quickly grabbed her and closed the door behind her: "Then tell me honestly, sister, what exactly is going on between you and Young Master Xiaoyuan?"

"It's just like that," Lin Jingjing said shyly, trying to avoid him, but seeing that Yinyin wouldn't let her go, she said, "He said he likes me, and I... I like him a little too, but I haven't agreed yet."

"After all, neither Father nor Master has agreed yet."

Upon hearing this, Yin Yin said, "In that case, you don't need to go and get the letter back, sister."

"Why?" Lin Jingjing didn't understand.

Yinyin explained to her, "Master asked me to write a letter, firstly to tell my father about this matter, and secondly because our two families are on good terms, and my father knows better what kind of family the Yuan family is."

"If Father replies that it's good, and you like it too, then Master probably won't object."

"I see," Lin Jingjing said, no longer intending to leave, but the worry on her face was still hard to hide. "I wonder what my parents will think."

I've been wanting to arrange a marriage for you two for years, and now that you've both taken a liking to each other, how could I possibly disagree?

Yinyin glanced at her sister, but didn't say it aloud. Instead, she asked, "Sister, why are you suddenly getting so close to Young Master Xiaoyuan?"

"When we were at home, you never mentioned it once!"
