Chapter 156: You Wouldn’t Want Me to Tell Anyone About That Night, Would You?
And so, half a month passed. Su Yan had become adept at refining low-grade pills. He was even confident in refining mid-grade pills. If he could succeed, he would be a powerful alchemist.
“A Spirit-Tempering Pill. Its effect is to increase spiritual power. If I give the pill to my senior sister as a gift when she comes back, she will definitely be very happy.”
Although his senior sister had seen everything, these spirit pills were different. They were refined by his own hands. She would definitely be very happy and praise him for being very capable.
At this thought, Su Yan took out some less important pill formulas to practice.
According to common sense, alchemy required a lot of experience. It usually took several years to achieve something.
But because of the system’s enhancements, Su Yan had succeeded in just one try. Looking at the several pills before him, Su Yan was very happy. Next, he wanted to start making the gift.
But after carefully studying the pill formula, Su Yan’s brows furrowed. He found that he was missing a few main ingredients and could not refine it yet.
“I can only go down the mountain to buy them.”
Thinking of the sect disciples’ fanaticism for him, Su Yan didn’t want to go down the mountain, but he had no choice.
After descending Heavenly Water Peak, he was inevitably surrounded and watched. Su Yan told himself not to be nervous and to try to maintain a calm heart, a proper yet distant smile on his face.
But this didn’t seem to have any effect. The female disciples still came, and they still got close.
Su Yan was helpless and could only say, “Although my senior sister is not in the sect, you wouldn’t want me to remember your faces and then tell her when she comes back, would you?”
Xiao Wu’s name was still very intimidating. The female disciples scattered like birds and beasts.
Seeing this, Su Yan breathed a sigh of relief. He had thought that nothing would happen next, but a figure blocked his path.
“Senior Sister Qin, long time no see. Do you need something?”
Su Yan was a little surprised. The person who had come was none other than Qin Yimeng. At this moment, she was looking at him with a complicated expression.
“It has been a long time. I didn’t expect you to have changed so much.”
Qin Yimeng’s expression was complicated. She had been busy with things these past few months and couldn’t get away. Now that she finally had some free time, she had heard the gossip that Su Yan had confirmed his relationship with someone else.
At first, she didn’t believe it. But after careful inquiry, Qin Yimeng was dumbfounded. The rumors were actually true, which was unacceptable to her.
“I came to ask you, do you and Xiao Wu have that kind of relationship?”
Even though she had confirmed it again and again, Qin Yimeng still hadn’t given up and wanted him to tell her the truth himself.
“Ah, this…”
Su Yan’s mouth opened. Of course, he understood the reason for her question. His face really did attract bees and butterflies. Senior Sister Qin also liked him.
“That’s right. The rumors are true.”
After a moment of silence, Su Yan nodded and said.
Since he had already chosen his senior sister, he shouldn’t have any lingering connections with others. He had never had any thoughts about Qin Yimeng, so of course, he wouldn’t be too conflicted.
Hearing Su Yan’s words, Qin Yimeng’s face turned pale. Her steps faltered, and she gritted her teeth. “How could you do this? You clearly know that I…”
“Don’t say any more. I know what you’re thinking, but I’m sorry. Liking someone is not something I can control.”
Su Yan shook his head and said, his words merciless, wanting her to give up quickly.
Qin Yimeng fell silent, her head lowered, her expression unclear.
Seeing her not speaking, Su Yan felt the atmosphere was oppressive and was about to leave.
However, at this moment, she suddenly muttered something in a low voice.
“What did you say? I didn’t hear you.”
Su Yan turned to look at her. Because her voice was too low just now, he hadn’t heard clearly.
Qin Yimeng took a deep breath, looked up, and said, “I just said, you wouldn’t want me to tell anyone about what happened that day, would you? Especially not your senior sister.”
Su Yan was stunned for a moment, not reacting. But after a little thought, his face suddenly turned pale.
“You, you, you… you actually…!”
Su Yan gritted his teeth, his finger trembling as he pointed at her. He hadn’t expected her to say such a thing, to threaten him with what had happened that day.
“It seems you remember. Since you’ve already done it, there’s no turning back. A woman’s happiness depends on herself. She must get what she wants.”
Thinking this, Qin Yimeng said, “That day, by a twist of fate, we did some indescribable things. The memory is still fresh. If I tell anyone about this, what do you think will happen?”
Hearing Qin Yimeng’s words, Su Yan was both shocked and angry. How dare she mention what had happened that day again!
“You clearly said you wouldn’t tell anyone and would pursue me through normal means.”
“Is pursuing you still useful now?”
Qin Yimeng gritted her teeth and said. If she could, of course, she would want to pursue Su Yan through normal means. But what time was it now? They had already made an official announcement. How could this make her calm down!
“This…”
Su Yan was speechless. He gritted his teeth and said, “But you can’t do that either! It’s simply too shameless.”
The once-gentle senior sister, how could she have become like this? She had clearly been very reasonable before.
“I regret it.”
Qin Yimeng’s expression was complicated. At that time, she had been arrogant and had thought that she could get him with her own means. But she hadn’t expected him to confirm his relationship with someone else so quickly, which made her feel very regretful.
If she had listened to her Master at that time, would things have turned out like this? If she had been ruthless at that time, perhaps she would be the one confirming her relationship with Su Yan now.
“If you don’t want what happened that night to be discovered by others, you should know what to do.”
Qin Yimeng’s face was flushed with shame. She was also disgusted by her own words. But there was no other way. This was the only way to get him back.
After saying this, Qin Yimeng left. Watching her retreating back, Su Yan fell into a long silence.
What should I do? What on earth should I do!?
He had already confirmed his relationship with his senior sister and wanted to marry her and live a peaceful life. He hadn’t expected something like this to happen.
If this was exposed, what would his senior sister think? Would she still accept him?
Su Yan’s thoughts were in a mess. He felt a massive headache coming on. The thought of what had happened that day…
“Wait!”
Su Yan’s eyes lit up. He suddenly remembered something. He had been threatened by Qin Yimeng and had been in a state of panic for a moment.
But now that he thought about it carefully, she had no proof. As long as he denied it to the death, then it had never happened.
Don’t even think about denying it to the death. If this blows up, to confirm the truth, they will definitely use a lie detector on me. And at that time…
The lie-detecting technique will find that everything Yimeng said is the truth. Then I will die of social shame, and my senior sister will also break up with him.
Su Yan continued the conversation in his heart.
Wait, wait, wait!!
“Why are you back!?”
Su Yan looked at the person before him and gritted his teeth irritably.
“Don’t mind me. I’m leaving now. I hope you’ll consider it carefully.”
Qin Yimeng had a cold and aloof expression. She would never say that she had taken the wrong path.
