Chapter 23: Money Speaks -14
" Hmm! If I may ask... Why would a Saintess of such a powerful sect need to apologize to this Young Master? I don't quite catch your motives, I have to be honest,"
Without a change in his cold expression, Bai Lung responded to her previous words with a question of his own unable to fathom why would she even need to apologize.
" The incident with Ling Fei happened because of me, but I didn't explain myself to Young Master Bai. It was all my fault that Ling Fei uttered some nonsense and vulgar words towards Young Master also.... ( she began explaining things) "
It had to be said that she was a clever woman who knew what words to say where. To be honest, it is nothing impressive knowing her identity.
Learning which words need to be said where is one of the essentials of survival and making connections.
Since hiding the truth from Bai Lung wasn't possible, the best option was to be straightforward and explain the truth with her own mouth.
She explained to him about how she got acquainted with Ling Fei, how Ling Fei never concealed his admiration for her, and acted as a pervert constantly teasing her despite her hatred towards those words.
She also explained how she had kept her heart firm and pure. She also explained how she wished she had never got acquainted with him but it happened because they have done a few sect tasks together in the past.
After that, she came clear with rumors surrounding her saying they were all fakes and she was still a pure virgin woman yet to explore the touch of passion.
She has nothing to do with Ling Fei.
She had no choice but to confess everything before this Young Master, sitting in front of her to show her sincerity.
And surprisingly, just then a blue window appeared above her.
[ Affection towards Ling Fei: Negative thirty ( -30 ) ]
'This woman is somewhat interesting,'
Bai Lung's lips slightly curved forming an evil smirk while he believed her words.
Also, it's quite surprising to think that she has more negative affection toward a chosen one compared to him.
He couldn't help but show some interest in her.
To be honest, he was a little surprised by her actions.
Even Ling Fei couldn't have expected Ling'r would go ahead and tell all of this to Bai Lung!... It was totally out of his imagination.
Only a woman this clever could be said to be a true heroine.
She was completely different from those ornamental vases who only had pretty faces and slutty bodies to their names with big melons and squishy back hills with Iq lower than room temperature.
She knew how and when to avoid misfortune and utilize the situation to her favor!
A beauty with a mind but bound by the clutches of her father, forever to be caged like a bird.
Perhaps her thoughts of castrating Bai Lung before committing suicide were the desperate will for freedom,
However, Standing opposite to her was Bai Lung, the man among men.
He knew she wasn't here for simple talk, and her revealing clothes were nothing but a distraction.
Yet he was still surprised for a modest woman such as her...
Bai Lung exactly didn't know her intention but he could guess, she wasn't here for a friendly talk which can further be backed by her negative ten ( -10 ) affection towards him.
If she didn't even see him as a friend, no way she would come here rubbing the rose oil on her lips and looking more stunning.
She was like a peephole, Bai Lung could see through her however since the ' hole was smaller ' he couldn't see everything.
....
Seeing how Bai Lung was still indifferent, she clenched her fist and inhaled a deep breath.
" Is Envoy having a doubt about my purity? " she couldn't help but ask seeing his shrunk pupil as a result of his mind being somewhere far in his thoughts.
Her question pulled him back to reality, while he slightly glanced at his tea cup that had one gulp of tea remaining.
" Oh! I would never, I didn't think Saintess would lie, I fully believe in you, your dignity, and chastity, however, I don't see the point of Saintess revealing it to me, "
He responded while he drank the last gulp of tea feeling refreshed.
" It seems our small talk has ended here, " Bai Lung said while he pushed his empty cup to the middle of the table.
Getting up from his chair, he turned around but before leaving, he uttered some words.
" I don't think Saintess came here with good intentions, correspondingly, such clothes don't suit your nature, it seems you wanted to talk to me about your rumors however, I believe in you, but, then again, you don't have to tell me such things, I don't have any interest in you, I am not the right person to discuss your life matters, "
" Have a wonderful night, I wish you good fortune and blessing!!! "
It's not that he didn't believe her words, he simply didn't wish to continue this anymore.
There was simply no point in it.
Ling Fei is blunt as useless wooden sword, a protagonist, with perverted habits, those activities are a common trait of a ' Beta protagonist,'
There is no doubt of it, he hasn't even touched a string of her fluttery hair.
