I Possess a Scroll of Demon-Subduing Records

"I was just wandering around when I met you. Maybe this is fate!"

Qu Jing: "..."

I have never seen such a shameless person!

It was Lin Yi who saw the direction she flew off to, but he didn't expect her to run so fast and actually catch up with him.

What was even more unexpected was that he actually dared to do this.

Isn't he afraid of being exposed?

Maybe he's really not afraid?

Qu Jing's face darkened slightly upon thinking about this.

"Then you can keep wandering around, I'm leaving."

"and many more."

Lin Yi had come all this way, of course not to say goodbye to her again.

"You haven't told me who I am yet!"

"I do not care."

"I care."

Lin Yi said earnestly, "My name is Yi Lin. I hope you will remember this name."

That traitor!

Lin Yi, Yi Lin, what's the difference between this guy and a showdown?!

"Okay, I've got it."

Qu Jing was about to run away again when Lin Yi suddenly stepped forward and grabbed her hand.

"I don't even know your name!"

"Let me go!"

Qu Jing felt that Lin Yi's hand was very warm. Just by holding her hand, he transferred the heat to her, as if he wanted to turn her pool of water into steam.

"Tell me your name first."

"Qu Jing."

Left with no other choice, Qu Jing had to continue this game with Lin Yi, where "I know who you are, you know who I am, but we are both pretending not to know who the other is."

"Good name."

Lin Yi praised her, but Qu Jing retorted irritably, "What's so good about it?"

"That's the name of my first woman, so of course it's nice."

"You...don't say anymore."

Qu Jing was so angry that she almost shouted out the words "traitorous disciple," and she was also extremely ashamed and annoyed.

Is this how you treat your master?

Chapter 149 Walking Too Many Nights, Finally Encountering a Ghost

Lin Yi had pretty much figured out that Qu Jing already knew his identity. After all, when he said the obviously fake name "Yi Lin," Qu Jing didn't react much, which showed that she already knew what was going on.

Since that's the case, it's no wonder he's pushing his luck.

If you want to win the heart of a beautiful woman, you can't be too particular about etiquette.

It's better to use some tricks now than to part ways and feel sad later.

To be honest, seeing Qu Jing's embarrassed and indignant expression, Lin Yi found himself really excited. Had he awakened some special fetish again?

"Now that you know my name, it's about time you let me go!"

Qu Jing pleaded. There was a big tree behind her, and she had nowhere left to retreat. Lin Yi kept closing in, and the two of them were now so close that they could feel each other's hot breath.

"If I let go, how will I ever find you again?"

"What do you want with me?"

Lin Yi stared into Qu Jing's eyes, saying nothing, yet it was as if he had said everything.

Qu Jing immediately retorted, embarrassed and annoyed, "Don't even think about it."

"I just wanted to see you, to ease my longing for you, is that not even allowed?"

These words made Qu Jing blush, as if she were the only one having wild thoughts.

"no!"

Qu Jing refused decisively, so Lin Yi leaned in and breathed into her ear.

Lin Yi knew that her ears were extremely sensitive; just a breath of hot air could make her feel weak all over.

"Don't do this..."

Qu Jing didn't want to say anything too hurtful, and she didn't expect Lin Yi to dare to bully her like this. Her soft, pleading voice only excited the big bad wolf even more.

However, that's all.

This is just teasing her; if it goes any further, that would be harassment.

Lin Yi suddenly took a few steps back, creating some distance between them, which surprised Qu Jing. She thought that Lin Yi would act recklessly towards her now that he was wearing a mask, just as he had done before.

"I know what you're thinking, and I don't want to force you. But I told you not to come near me that day, and you insisted on coming anyway. Now you want to leave me. Have you ever considered my feelings when you come and go?"

What he said seemed to make sense, and Qu Jing felt a little guilty, but something still felt off.

Lin Yi dared not stop and let Qu Jing break free from his logic. He then took out a piece of jade from his pocket and tossed it to Qu Jing. It was a piece of jade that he had bought with all his savings that day. It was only the size of a palm and had two lines of poetry engraved on it.

"In heaven, we wish to be birds flying wing to wing; on earth, we wish to be trees with intertwined branches."

In a short time, this was the only sentence he could think of.

"This jade is a small token of my appreciation. If you don't like it, just throw it away!"

With that, Lin Yi turned and left without lingering. Qu Jing watched his lonely figure, her guilt growing stronger. When she saw the poem on the jade, her heartstrings trembled.

She knew that she had broken another young man's heart today.

"Ugh!"

Qu Jing sighed and put the jade pendant back into her bosom.

Although throwing it away in front of Lin Yi would have been the right choice, she couldn't bear to do it in the end.

I've already hurt his feelings today, and I'm afraid we'll have little to do with each other in the future. I'll keep this jade pendant as a keepsake.

Thinking this, Qu Jing walked in the opposite direction from Lin Yi.

Halfway there, she couldn't help but take out the jade pendant to look at it again. Looking at the words on it, she could almost feel Lin Yi's passionate and deep affection for her. A sweet feeling welled up in her heart, which made Qu Jing's heart flutter again.

Nevertheless, she did not throw away the jade pendant.

Meanwhile, Lin Yi secretly watched Qu Jing put away the jade pendant from afar, and knew that his master could not escape her grasp.

Today, he came over in a flamboyant manner, seemingly intending to bully her and continue to harass her, which gave Qu Jing a preconceived notion. However, after he teased her, he instead pointed out Qu Jing's faults, claiming that he was the one who was wronged, and then left sadly and dejectedly, leaving behind only a jade pendant.

Qu Jing is soft-hearted and will definitely not throw away the jade pendant. As long as she keeps it, she will always think of her loved one whenever she sees it.

When the time comes, no matter which moments she recalls, Qu Jing will be unable to escape them.

The longer you are apart, the deeper your feelings will become.

Conversely, if Lin Yi persists in pursuing Qu Jing, it will only annoy her, and then there will truly be no possibility between them.

It has to be said that Lin Yi went to great lengths to betray his master and ancestors.

On his way back, he changed his disguise and arrived at the city gate again, only to find that the gate had already been opened.

The prefect's approval document had been torn down on the notice board outside.

It seems that the prefect felt the matter had been largely resolved and nothing had happened in the past two days, which is why he lifted the restrictions.

Closing the city gates caused great inconvenience to residents both inside and outside the city, and the county soldiers and members of the Jingye Division responsible for the defense also had a very hard time.

Now that the city gates are open, everyone can relax, and Lin Yi no longer needs to patrol at night.

He strolled around the city casually before returning to the Jingye Division.

I'm not going on patrol tonight, I'm just checking in now to see if anything's up.

As soon as they arrived at the entrance, they saw Bao Sanniang and her men lined up in full gear, each leading a horse. Lin Yi quickly stepped forward and asked, "Chief Steward Bao, Deputy Chief Steward Pei, where are you going?"

Bao Sanniang said, "The ruthless messenger has already come and said that everything has been settled and Xingsha City no longer needs to be so heavily guarded. In that case, we should take our leave."

"It's a pity you're not in the city, otherwise the Heartless Messenger could have given you some pointers; he's also a master swordsman."

The Heartless Messenger, also known as the ruthless constable, is a famous constable who, when dispatched to other places, is equivalent to an imperial envoy, and is politely addressed as "messenger."

Instead of a soul-stealing charm, what arrived was heartlessness?

So, Soul Reaper didn't come after receiving a distress call. But if she was doing a side job, why didn't she hide her tracks?

Lin Yi noted this down and quickly tried to persuade him to stay, saying, "I don't think things will settle down so quickly. Why don't you stay a little longer, Steward Bao?"

If you leave in such a hurry, won't my ship (couple pairing) fall apart?

“Other places in Xiangzhou need us too. Lingling County sent an urgent message that snake demons are rampaging, and I have to go and take a look.”

Bao Sanniang used official business as an excuse, and Lin Yi had no way to persuade her anymore.

After all, he couldn't just ignore other people's lives and deaths just to ship his own favorite couple.

Left with no other choice, he could only say, "Then Steward Bao must be careful on the road."

"I will."

Bao Sanniang smiled and remained gentle with Lin Yi.

Upon seeing this, Pei Qian became nervous again.

He was initially overjoyed because Bao Sanniang was clearly disappointed with Guan Buping, and he was happy to see it happen. However, he didn't expect Lin Yi to suddenly appear out of nowhere.

Now that I think about it, with Lin Yi being so handsome, is it possible that even an old cow like Bao Sanniang wanted to have a taste of younger grass?
