Transmigrated as the Destined Villain, My Senior Brothers Are Chasing After My Love Chapter 128

Chapter 128: Better to Avoid Trouble

“What consequences?”

Lin Qingyue pulled her, smiling at Yuan An. “Brother, we’re going back right now.”

Hearing the warning in the other’s words, Lin Qingyue took Yu Qianqian and left Nuanxiang Pavilion with Yuan An.

After coming out, Yu Qianqian still couldn’t figure out the situation. “Yuan An, why are you here?”

Yuan An: “I have business.”

“What business requires going to Nuanxiang Pavilion?” Yu Qianqian scrutinized him suspiciously. “You know Nuanxiang Pavilion very well.”

She spoke with a hint of sourness, unhappy in her heart. She hadn’t expected Yuan An to be this kind of person. Indeed, men—none of them are good things!

“Delivering goods. Five hundred spirit stones per delivery. Very profitable.”

Yuan An didn’t say much, but he explained why he went to Nuanxiang Pavilion. Yu Qianqian froze, cleared her throat, and felt somewhat embarrassed.

He went to run errands to earn money, while she went to enjoy herself.

“So it was like that.”

Yuan An: “You two should leave quickly. Tonight isn’t suitable for you to stay here.”

With just a simple exhortation, he prepared to leave. Lin Qingyue called out to him.

“Fellow Daoist Yuan.”

Yuan An looked back. Lin Qingyue asked, “Inside, you reminded us to leave. Is there something shameful or dangerous here?”

For him to remind them to leave for the sake of their past acquaintance meant this wasn’t a simple place of entertainment.

Yuan An didn’t want to say much. “It’s late. You should go back.”

Yu Qianqian reacted, her eyes looking at Yuan An changing. “How do you know?”

After asking, she felt she was being redundant. He delivered things to Nuanxiang Pavilion; how could he not know?

Yuan An fell silent and didn’t answer. “I have things to do. Leaving first.”

“Hey, wait.” Yu Qianqian blocked him. “Last time you said to remember to find you to compare saber techniques. You didn’t come. Now that we’ve met, we can spar. When do you have time?”

Yuan An turned his back to her. “No time.”

He stepped away to leave after speaking. Yu Qianqian chased after him. “Wait. I don’t believe you have no time. If you don’t want to talk about Nuanxiang Pavilion, fine. No need to find another day for the duel; I think tonight is pretty good.”

With her actions, Lin Qingyue didn’t see the look of someone in love, only a thirst for saber competition.

Sure enough, Yuan An was silent for a while before saying, “A duel is fine, but you have to pay.”

Yu Qianqian: ???

What does paying mean?

Yuan An: “We Saber Drawers charge money to draw our blades. That is the rule.”

Yu Qianqian thought about it and asked, “As long as I pay, anything goes?”

Yuan An: “Naturally.”

“Alright, I understand.”

Yu Qianqian took out spirit stones from her storage bag. “Fight one round tonight first. I also want to know what Nuanxiang Pavilion has tonight and why you wouldn’t let us stay. How many spirit stones in total?”

Yuan An looked at the spirit stones in her hand. “We can fight one round. Regarding Nuanxiang Pavilion, they paid, so I can’t speak. Not letting you stay is because you shouldn’t see tonight’s events.”

Yu Qianqian: “Fine.”

If he wouldn’t say, he wouldn’t say. She would investigate it herself later.

Lin Qingyue yawned. Were they not sleepy? Competing in saber techniques at night.

“Today is the fifteenth. Although the full moon is bright, it’s not as good as competing during the day. How about changing the time?”

He was getting sleepy.

Hearing this, Yu Qianqian’s eyes lit up. “Senior Brother Lin, you go rest first.”

Lin Qingyue’s drowsiness vanished. That tone didn’t sound right. He instantly lost his desire to sleep. “No need. Watching you spar, I can learn a thing or two.”

As the three talked, Lin Qingyue suddenly smelled a familiar fragrance. He abruptly turned his head toward Nuanxiang Pavilion, then looked at Yuan An.

Seeing his expression hadn’t changed, Lin Qingyue was suspicious but didn’t show it.

“Did you guys smell any fragrance?”

Yu Qianqian sniffed. “Seems like there is a little fragrance. Has Nuanxiang Pavilion’s incense not dispersed yet?”

“It’s not the fragrance we smelled earlier.”

Seeing Lin Qingyue notice the scent was off, Yuan An said to Yu Qianqian, “Let’s go. Need to rest after the spar.”

Lin Qingyue gave him a complicated look. “You seem to really not want us to know about Nuanxiang Pavilion’s affairs tonight.”

The people inside urged them to stay, but Yuan An wanted them to leave quickly.

Yu Qianqian had already drawn her saber. Hearing Lin Qingyue’s words, she put the saber back.

“Senior Brother Lin, it’s simple. If he won’t say, we can go look.” She also wanted to know what was going on.

Yuan An frowned slightly upon hearing this. “I don’t know the specifics either. While delivering things today, I accidentally overheard some words.”

He looked at Yu Qianqian and Lin Qingyue. “It’s better for you to stay far away.”

He didn’t say what words. For safety’s sake, Lin Qingyue simply took Yu Qianqian back to the inn.

“When away from home, it’s better to avoid trouble. Let’s leave quickly.”

They say curiosity kills the cat. Yuan An speaking like that meant there really was a problem, and since he bore no malice toward them, Lin Qingyue felt it was better to stay away.

“If we don’t go look, and they do something bad, wouldn’t no one know?”

Yu Qianqian looked at the two of them. “You guys won’t care at all?”

She frowned. If cultivators noticed something wrong, how could they ignore it?

“If there are demons, and we don’t go take a look, wouldn’t we be letting them harm people?”

“Junior Sister Yu, there are only two of us. Even adding him makes only three.”

Lin Qingyue reminded her, “We can’t win.”

Yu Qianqian lost even the mood to spar. She gave the spirit stones to Yuan An. The two returned to the inn. Lin Qingyue didn’t recall why the fragrance was familiar and didn’t take it to heart.

When going to sleep, he realized Yu Qianqian had paid the money during the day and he hadn’t paid her back. He knocked on her door intending to pay her and also talk about Yuan An.

He felt that person wasn’t suitable for Yu Qianqian. Saber Drawers took all kinds of jobs. Not to mention Peak Lord Jiang wouldn’t agree, even for Yu Qianqian, it was better to prioritize cultivation first.

Preparing to persuade her before she fell too deep, Lin Qingyue arrived at her door and knocked.

No one answered. Lin Qingyue knocked again, sensed something, pushed the door open, and entered. No one was there.

Lin Qingyue: “…”

“Yu Qianqian, you are more than just capable.”

He hurriedly turned to find her. No need to guess; he knew where she had run off to.

Lin Qingyue rushed over, contemplating whether to notify the sect and find Da Shixiong. Arriving outside Nuanxiang Pavilion, he saw two people.

Yu Qianqian was being held back by Yuan An, preventing her from entering. Lin Qingyue was somewhat surprised. “Why are you both here?”

“Yu Qianqian, playing ‘obey in public, disobey in private’ with me?” Lin Qingyue swept his gaze over.

Yu Qianqian: “When evil demons appear, we should be duty-bound. If I don’t investigate clearly, I can’t sleep.”

Lin Qingyue: “How do you know it’s an evil demon and not a human?”

“Even if it’s a human, we have to investigate clearly. We can’t let them harm people,” Yu Qianqian said.

Talking more was useless. Lin Qingyue said to Yuan An, “Many thanks, Fellow Daoist Yuan. I’ll take her back right now.”

To thank him, Lin Qingyue offered spirit stones. Yuan An didn’t accept. “No need.”

Seeing that Lin Qingyue really wouldn’t get involved and wanted to take her back, Yu Qianqian hurriedly said, “I’m not going back. I saw that whatever Young Sect Master from last time. I wouldn’t see wrong; there’s definitely something fishy.”

Hmph, she still remembered him snatching her Jiuban Mian.
