I Cannot Afford to Mess with My Sister
Chapter 8
After being coaxed by Lian Chengbi, Cheng Jin pulled his arm and asked, "Since you have made an agreement with Sima Xiang, then won't you be staying in Dry Zen Temple?"
Thinking of this, Cheng Jin suddenly stood up straight and her pair of almond eyes stared at Lian Chengbi as if there were little stars twinkling in her eyes.
She was thinking that since Lian Chengbi was going to leave, then wouldn't she be able to stay as well?
In this way, she would be able to have fun outside for an entire night!
Thinking of this possibility, Cheng Jin simply could not suppress her excitement. This was the first time she was going to spend the night outside after she had transmigrated!
Lian Chengbi was naturally able to see through Cheng Jin's plan and he knocked on Cheng Jin's forehead. Although he already had a plan in his heart, but he did not want to let Cheng Jin get what she wanted so easily.
"Dry Zen Temple is not far from our Unsullied Heights, so wouldn't it be fine if I send you back in advance?"
Although Lian Chengbi himself knew that this possibility did not exist, Cheng Jin, this sly girl, would definitely think of ways to make him change his mind.
Sure enough, hearing him mercilessly shattering her expectations, Cheng Jin's face instantly turned bitter as she felt wronged.
But if she could give up so easily, then she would not be Cheng Jin!
Cheng Jin's thoughts turned and she came up with an idea.
Her eyes were originally big and round, her black pupils were round and extremely cute. At this time when she came up with this idea, her eyes turned and it was very obvious.
Lian Chengbi secretly raised his vigilance and made up his mind that this time he would not let this sly girl get what she wanted so easily.
"Brother, on this matter, we have to be reasonable, right?" Cheng Jin thought about how to put it in her heart.
Lian Chengbi could not help but laugh. When the words "reasonable" came out of Cheng Jin's mouth, it really made him feel that it was a little inconceivable.
He continued to put on an expression of listening attentively, wanting to see what tricks Cheng Jin would come up with.
Cheng Jin continued to say, "You see, you are going to socialize with Sima Xiang and those people in the evening. You have to prepare for the vegetarian banquet in advance right?"
"The vegetarian banquet is in the temple, you just need to give the order, it's not troublesome." Lian Chengbi countered.
Cheng Jin pouted her lips. She finally came up with a reason that was relatively more righteous!
"Alright, even if it's a vegetarian banquet, you just need to give the order. Brother, you're the host today. You can't let these young heroes wait for you!"
"You see, from the Dry Zen Temple to the Unsullied Heights and back again, it will take a lot of effort. It won't be good if your business is delayed by then."
Cheng Jin said flatteringly. She was just short of moving a small stool for Lian Chengbi to sit on so that she could help massage his shoulders and legs.
"It's not a big deal, let's go back a little earlier. I'll send you back now. After we come back, there will still be plenty of time."
Lian Chengbi continued to ruthlessly break Cheng Jin's fantasy.
When she heard that he actually wanted to send her back now, Cheng Jin suddenly widened her eyes and even her flattering expression could not be maintained.
She was extremely angry, but on second thought, she suppressed her small temper and said to Lian Chengbi coquettishly, "Brother, you can't do this. You promised me that you would bring me to Nanshan to play, but now you're sending me back before we even have time to play. Can you bear to do that?"
Without waiting for Lian Chengbi to continue saying cruel words, Cheng Jin continued, "You can't send me back, this is for your own good!"
"It's said that a gentleman keeps his promise. Brother, you said that you wanted to invite those young heroes to a banquet, this is your promise to them. You said that you would bring me out to play, this is your promise to me. Since they are both promises, you can't favor one and discriminate against the other!"
Hearing this, Lian Chengbi finally could not hold it in anymore. He chuckled and finally relented, "Forget it, forget it, you've already come up with all kinds of reasons. If I still don't agree, I don't know how many excuses you'll come up with."
Did this mean that there was a chance?
Cheng Jin's eyes lit up and a smile involuntarily hung on her face.
She wrinkled her nose and said coquettishly, "Of course not, I'm very reasonable!"
"I'm a reasonable person."
"Then … Brother, does that mean you agree?"
Lian Chengbi sighed heavily. It seemed that there was nothing he could do with Cheng Jin. He deliberately exaggerated and said, "It's just a pity that Donglai was left halfway by the two of us. It wasn't easy for him to rush over with Lian Xin, but he has to make a trip back to the villa again."
He had to make this trip to explain the reason to Mother Lian. Since he was going to take Cheng Jin out for the night, he had to explain the situation to Mother Lian.
Hearing this, Cheng Jin cheered and shouted, "Brother is the best!"
***
However, this news was not so good for Donglai.
It was not easy for him to take Lian Xin to the Dry Zen Temple, but he was given a new task by Lian Chengbi. Although the distance from the Dry Zen Temple to the Unsullied Heights was not far and a round trip was not expensive, the main point of this matter was not the distance.
It was Mother Lian's attitude.
Seeing Donglai's crying expression, as if Lian Chengbi wanted him to die, Cheng Jin was puzzled and said, "This matter is not difficult, why do you have such an expression?"
"Not difficult?"
Donglai's face was wrinkled like a bitter gourd, "How is it not difficult, Miss, Young Master wants to take you out for the night!"
"If I report this to Madam, Madam will definitely not allow it. Maybe Madam will be angry and peel off my skin!"
Mother Lian's prestige in the Unsullied Heights was very strong, and the servants were both respectful and afraid of her.
In Donglai's eyes, this matter was absolutely as difficult as ascending to heaven, and even Lian Xin showed a trace of sympathy.
"Idiot ~" Cheng Jin stretched out her index finger and shook it in front of her. She felt that these two people's deep hatred was absolutely unnecessary.
"You guys said to Mother, 'Young Master Zhuangzhu didn't return home at night with a girl'. If Mother doesn't get angry, it would be strange if she didn't peel off your skin!"
"Can't you say it differently?"
"For example —"
"Young Heightslord met a few young heroes at the Dry Zen Temple and had a good chat with them. The young heroes invited Young Heightslord to have a feast with them and it was hard to refuse. Young Heightslord was concerned about Miss's safety and could only send me back to report to you first."
"After the banquet, the city gate was closed. Young Master thought that the two of them were still young and inexperienced, so he asked Madam to send two experts to prevent any accidents."
After these words were processed by Cheng Jin, they instantly felt different. Lian Xin had been with Cheng Jin for a long time, so she was not surprised. However, Donglai was so shocked that his jaw almost fell to the ground.
Lian Chengbi was also very surprised, but he was used to maintaining a dignified and self-restrained appearance. If one did not look carefully, one would not be able to tell that he had lost his composure.
Donglai looked at Cheng Jin, then turned to look at Lian Chengbi, and said from the bottom of his heart, "No wonder Madam loves Miss so much. She loves Miss so much that her heart is biased to the foot of Nanshan."
It was not that he disliked his Young Master, but it was because one always needed skills to get along with others. Just like Miss, she was too delicate and willful, but she could make the entire Unsullied Heights happy to pamper her.
Looking at their Young Master, he was dignified and prudent, a gentleman like jade, and everyone respected him. However, he also made the Young Master not make a single mistake. It was not easy to imagine.
Fortunately, the relationship between the young lady and the young master was getting closer and closer. With the young lady's help, the young master's schoolwork was not as heavy as before.
For example, today's trip. If it was in the past, the Young Master would definitely make up for it by the book, and he would not have time to eat and rest.
However, Miss had a way to let the Young Master give her a break occasionally.
It was really admirable!
***
Sure enough, when Donglai returned to the Unsullied Heights and replied according to Cheng Jin's instructions, Mother Lian agreed very much. She even specially chose two expert guests in the manor to follow Donglai to the Dry Zen Temple.
In detail, Mother Lian never restricted Lian Chengbi's ability to make friends. As long as it was a young master from a martial arts family, or a rising star, as long as it was not a person of crooked means, the more friends Lian Chengbi had, the happier she was.
Cheng Jin did not like large-scale business gatherings, and she did not like to see Sima Xiang even more. Therefore, she told Lian Chengbi in advance that she wanted to walk around the Dry Zen Temple with two expert guests to protect her. Lian Chengbi did not think much and agreed. He did not expect that this decision would make Lian Chengbi extremely regretful!
No one would have thought that the Jianghu's number one flower thief, Ru Yu, who had been missing for many years, was actually hiding in this small Dry Zen Temple.
When Lian Chengbi realized that something was wrong, the two expert guests had already been unconscious for a long time. Lian Xin, who had woken up, cried and shouted, "A man whose face could not be seen clearly kidnapped Miss!"
What was left at the scene was Ru Yu's iconic red plum blossom.
Lian Chengbi was about to go crazy. For the first time, he lost the calm and self-control of a gentleman. With a sword, he split the heavy mahogany table into two halves. Even so, fear and worry still tightly gripped his heart.
Sima Xiang noticed that Lian Chengbi's hand that was holding the sword had blue veins popping out. He stepped forward and comforted him, "Brother Lian, don't worry. Ru Yu, this rascal, actually dared to kidnap someone under our noses. He simply does not put us in his eyes!
We will accompany you to find Xiao Jin … to find Miss Lian's whereabouts! "
"Yes, Brother Lian, don't worry. With so many of us, we will definitely not let Ru Yu escape!"
…
The other young heroes who had participated in the vegetarian banquet were a little embarrassed. They felt that if it were not for their admiration of Lian Chengbi's fame, which delayed their journey, Cheng Jin would not have been in danger.
Coupled with the Jianghu's code of brotherhood, they hit it off immediately. They felt that they must help Lian Chengbi find his sister safe and sound.
Lian Chengbi forcibly suppressed the chaotic emotions in his heart, trying to calm himself down and keep a clear mind.
He asked Lian Xin and the two expert guests in detail. He quickly analyzed the direction that Ru Yu might take Cheng Jin to escape in. Only then did he arrange the direction for everyone to investigate.
Night had gradually fallen. Lian Chengbi followed the clues left by Ru Yu. He held his sword tightly in his hand and was extremely worried.
