Where is the righteous fairy we were promised?

Until five days from now, which is tonight.

When Jiang Ning took the initiative to ask her to go out together, Lin Wanqing finally made up her mind.

She absolutely must not give up on Jiangning!

Even the Holy Maiden of Mount Wansheng is still an unattainable figure for her now.

But she is still young, and has a long future ahead of her.

As a cultivator, one has a long lifespan and far-sighted vision, and should never strive for short-term gains.

The same principle applies to romantic relationships.

Lin Wanqing firmly believes that she can grow to be even better than Zhong Wanli and completely surpass her.

In the end, she won back Jiang Ning, her heart and soul, which belonged to her!

That's why Lin Wanqing agreed to go out with her tonight.

Why isn't Fairy Lin saying anything?

Jiang Ning glanced at her with feigned disappointment and sighed:

"It seems that Fairy Lin has given up."

In that case, I'll go back and smash that stone tablet.

Since you're going to leave eventually anyway, might as well turn a long pain into a short one.

Upon hearing this, Lin Wanqing was immediately filled with anger. She turned around resentfully and glared at Jiang Ning, saying:

"Jiang Ning, how dare you!"

If you dare to smash the stone tablet without permission...

I...I'll take you down with me right now!

Upon hearing the familiar phrase "to perish together," Jiang Ning walked forward with a smile and reached out to embrace Lin Wanqing.

But Lin Wanqing was furious at the moment, so how could she let him get away with it?

Lin Xianzi, who was even more captivating when she was angry, pushed away Jiang Ning, who was trying to hug her.

Then he pointed at him, clearly showing genuine anger.

"Jiang Ning, if you dare call me that again, I'll really get angry!"

"Oh? You're not allowed to call me Fairy Lin anymore?"

Jiang Ning spread his hands, looking helpless, and sighed:

"You were the one who started the cold war with me, and now you won't let me keep my distance. What exactly do you want?"

Seeing Jiang Ning's feigned aggrieved expression, Lin Wanqing was immediately furious.

"Didn't you make me angry first?!"

Jiang Ning raised an eyebrow and immediately pressed on the topic.

How did I make you angry?

"How dare you say that? If you hadn't said those hurtful things to me that day, would I have been giving you the cold shoulder?"

"Wasn't it you who took advantage of the alcohol to test me first?"

"Don't you have any idea how I feel?"

"So what if I know? What does that have to do with my feelings for Wan Li?"

"You...you never liked me at all?"

"So, you've forgotten that I only coerced you because I was lusting after your body?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Wanqing's angry expression froze.

Looking at Jiang Ning's expression that seemed to say, "What did I do wrong?"

For a moment, she couldn't find anything wrong with Jiang Ning's words.

In fact, Lin Wanqing was very clear about this from the beginning.

At first, Jiang Ning simply lusted after her body, which is why he kept trying to coerce her in various ways.

However, after being tricked into having sex with this man, she was the first to fall in love with him.

Then she considered herself his true lover.

They also tried every means to prevent other women from getting close to Jiangning.

So much so that even when Jiang Ning couldn't satisfy her and planned to seek solace with other women, she felt that Jiang Ning had betrayed her.

However, the truth is not like that at all.

Only now did Lin Wanqing belatedly realize...

It seems that Jiang Ning never once told her "I like you" from beginning to end.

166 - There's plenty of time ahead

Lin Wanqing remained silent for a long time.

Then, with an incredibly complicated look in his eyes, he glared at Jiang Ning and said resentfully:

"If I could, I would rather I had never asked you!"

I even wish you would keep lying like this...

At least it's better than just telling me the truth!

"And yet you told me without any hesitation..."

There is another woman living in your heart!

Jiang Ning, have you never considered my feelings?

Jiang Ning stared into Lin Wanqing's eyes and said without any emotion:

So, you mean...

When you love me to the extreme, to the point of being unable to extricate yourself, to the point of wishing you could die for me.

"Then, shall I use the facts to break your heart?"

Lin Wanqing was taken aback upon hearing this, and then fell silent again.

After a long time.

Lin Wanqing suddenly took two steps forward and threw herself into Jiang Ning's arms.

As if afraid that Jiang Ning would run away, she held him tightly with both hands.

"Sigh, Jiangning..."

Lin Wanqing raised her head and gazed into Jiang Ning's eyes, which seemed as deep as the night since they first met.

Do you even have a little bit of affection for me?

Jiang Ning smiled slightly and wrapped his arms around Lin Wanqing's slender waist.

"Yes, I like you so much that I wish I could jump off a cliff with you right now to prove my feelings."

Lin Wanqing chuckled at Jiang Ning's words and couldn't help but raise her hand to slap him.

"Are you teasing me on purpose?"

"Isn't it because you asked the question you already knew the answer to, and you wouldn't let me tell the truth, insisting that I say nice things to coax you? What else can I do if I don't say it?"

"I refuse to believe you don't like me at all!"

"Yes, I like it. I like it so much."

"Jiang Ning, can't you be serious for once!"

"Okay, I don't like you."

Upon hearing this, Lin Wanqing couldn't help but clench her fist and nudge Jiang Ning with her forehead.

"I do not believe!"

Jiang Ning smiled helplessly and reached out to pinch her cheek.

"See, you don't believe my lies."

But even after I told you the truth, you still don't believe me.

So what exactly do you want me to say?

Lin Wanqing bit her lower lip lightly, staring intently into Jiang Ning's eyes. After a long silence, she said:

"You like me."

Jiang Ning frowned slightly, looking down at her elegant and refined face.

Are you just trying to comfort yourself?

If this makes you feel a little happier...

I can nod right now.

Lin Wanqing seemed to have discerned something from Jiang Ning's reaction and suddenly burst into laughter.

"Jiang Ning, you're lying."

First you lied to me, and then you lied to yourself.

You're not that heartless a man at all.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ning sneered, his face turning cold.

His once calm eyes suddenly flashed with an indifference that shouldn't have been there.

It was an extreme indifference, but not a loss of emotion.

Rather, it's as if they've seen through the truth of everything in the world.

Only then, as if detached from the world, did he look at Lin Wanqing with an expressionless gaze and say indifferently:
