The plot of "Quick Transmigration: The Charismatic One Always Collapses" is incomplete.

After calming down, Lin Qingdeng's mind suddenly became clear.

Since Ye Fuguang's heart is with Manager Wen, why should she personally get involved?

It doesn't matter who it is.

Once she understood this, she immediately adjusted her strategy.

She stopped fawning over Ye Fuguang and kept a certain distance from Manager Wen, instead carefully creating opportunities for the two of them to be alone.

"Shopkeeper, we're almost out of firewood in the backyard. Why don't you have Sister Fu Xi accompany you to chop some more?"

"Sister Fu Xi is airing out the bedding in the backyard. Shopkeeper, I'll help you with the accounts, why don't you go and help her?"

She even started subtly trying to matchmake people up.

"Shopkeeper, you and Sister Fu Xi are a perfect match."

"If you didn't know better, you'd think you were a couple."

These jokes were cleverly made, neither too over the top nor too understated, yet they added a touch of ambiguity to the two of them.

The leader of the demonic sect did not object to this, seemingly showing great tolerance for these harmless jokes.

Wen Yubai, however, always managed to stop him.

"Miss Lin Qing, don't talk nonsense, don't tarnish Miss Fu Xi's reputation."

Lin Qingdeng smiled and agreed, knowing that he wouldn't really get angry and would use the same trick again next time.

However, no matter how she tried to match them up, Wen Yubai remained unmoved and never showed the slightest sign of overstepping his bounds.

She didn't understand why Wen Yubai had no reaction to Ye Fuguang, such a beautiful woman dressed as a woman.

Could it be that it's also gay?

Lin Qingdeng had a headache; this relationship was really difficult to handle.

She rubbed her temples and let herself space out for a moment.

His gaze inadvertently fell on the busy Wen Yubai.

His focused expression, the slight furrowing of his brow as he did the accounting, his gentle tone when talking to customers, and even his seriousness when cooking, all exuded a reassuring power.

Like a quiet oasis in the bustling world, it makes people unconsciously want to get closer.

No wonder even the ruthless leader of the demonic sect was moved by such a person.

As Lin Qingdeng was secretly sighing, he suddenly noticed that Ye Fuguang had disappeared again.

He tends to disappear for a while lately.

You can fool the shopkeeper with the excuse of "picking wild vegetables," but you can't fool her.

Lin Qingdeng guessed it was related to the reconstruction of the Demonic Sect.

Wen Yubai saw Lin Qingdeng sitting to the side, deep in thought, and he also wanted to have a chat with her.

Why is she acting so strangely lately, so keen on trying to matchmake him and Fu Xi?

"Miss Lin, lately you seem to always pair me up with Fu Xi?"

Lin Qingdeng looked up and saw that his expression was normal, so she knew that he was not angry.

She took a sip of tea and tentatively asked, half-jokingly, "Shopkeeper, with Sister Fu Xi's looks and character, why don't you just marry her?"

Wen Yubai remained silent, seemingly agreeing, but where was the appreciation?

"Marriage is a serious matter, not something to be taken lightly."

Lin Qingdeng rephrased her question: "Shopkeeper, what if Sister Fu Xi falls for you?"

Wen Yubai paused slightly. "Miss Fu Xi has her own future to look forward to. I am just an innkeeper, and the help I can offer is limited."

"I treat her no differently than I treat you."

Looking at his serious expression, Lin Qingdeng suddenly realized that Wen Yubai's care for "Fu Xi" seemed to be purely out of kindness and had nothing to do with romance.

She made up her mind and was determined to get to the bottom of it.

"Does the shopkeeper have a preference for men?"

Upon hearing this, Wen Yubai's eyes showed a hint of helplessness at her abrupt question.

"Of course not."

Lin Qingdeng carefully examined his expression. There was no evasion or hesitation, so he was clearly not interested in the man at all.

This is going to be difficult.

She felt frustrated, unable to pinpoint whether it was because she couldn't think of a solution or something else.

-

In a secluded wooded area.

Several masked men in black knelt on one knee and bowed respectfully to the "woman" in front of them.

The leader of the men in black spoke in a tense voice, filled with fear.

"Reporting to the Master, I failed in my duty and allowed the Left Protector to escape. He was lucky enough to run into Yun Zhaoting leading a group passing by, and was taken away by their men."

"waste."

Ye Fuguang's voice returned to its original low and cold tone.

The kneeling person trembled.

"continue."

Another person quickly chimed in: "The leader ordered his subordinates to investigate Lin Qing's background, and we have the results."

"This woman's real name is Lin Qingdeng, and she is the daughter of the wealthy Lin family of Liuling."

"The Lin family and the Yun family have a long-standing relationship, especially in the trade of medicinal herbs and refined iron ore."

"It is rumored that Alliance Leader Yun intends to form a marriage alliance with the Lin family, but this matter has not yet been officially decided."

Ye Fuguang sneered, "Oh? The daughter-in-law of the martial arts alliance leader has actually condescended to work as a lowly innkeeper."

Even Ye Fuguang couldn't believe she wasn't up to ulterior motives.

Although Lin Qingdeng had never done anything wrong, keeping him around would be a potential problem sooner or later.

Ye Fuguang didn't hesitate at all, nor did he bother to delve into her predicament or purpose. In his eyes, it was enough to eliminate the hidden danger.

The opportunity will come soon.

Wen Yubai would close his shop every two weeks to rest and go to Qingshui Town to purchase supplies.

At that time, only he and Lin Qingdeng remained in the inn.

Lin Qingdeng sat in front of the bronze mirror, combing her long hair, with a feeling that something was about to happen, an ominous feeling.

Suddenly the window creaked slightly, and a figure slipped into the room, a flash of cold light passing by.

Lin Qingdeng reacted very quickly and dodged to the side.

The cold blade grazed the hair slightly, shaving off a few strands.

After seeing who it was, Lin Qingdeng suppressed her shock and fear and stiffly forced a smile.

"Sister Fu Xi, what are you doing?"

Ye Fuguang was unwilling to say more, and unleashed another sword strike, blocking all her escape routes.

Lin Qingdeng was also annoyed. She dropped her pretense and said coldly, "Ye Fuguang!"

The tip of the sword came to an abrupt stop.

"So you knew my identity after all. Considering we've known each other, I'll leave you with one last message."

Lin Qingdeng laughed instead, "If I die, someone will personally hand over the evidence that you are the leader of the Demonic Sect to Wen Yubai tomorrow."

She stared directly into his suddenly contracting pupils, a surge of malice rising within her.

"Do you think Manager Wen will be so frightened by the truth that he'll immediately report it to the authorities?"

Ye Fuguang's eyes surged with murderous intent, but the name Wen Yubai was like a shackle, pinning him to the spot.

"Master, you wouldn't want fear or hatred to show in Manager Wen's eyes, would you?"

Just thinking about that scene made Ye Fuguang's heart feel like it was being pierced by needles.

Seeing the dramatic change in his expression, Lin Qingdeng knew he had won his gamble.

She pushed the sword away, her tone seductive.

"I am not your enemy, Master. On the contrary, I can help you get our Manager Wen."

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

Ye Fuguang instinctively retorted, his voice tinged with haste.

"I'm talking nonsense? Look at the way he looks at me, like he wants to devour me alive."

"Do you dare say your feelings for him are completely innocent?"

Each word was like a heavy hammer blow, striking Ye Fuguang's heart hard.

Those inexplicable emotions he had deliberately ignored were laid bare at this moment.

Why tolerate him alone? Why does my gaze always follow him? Why do I feel panicked at the thought of losing him?

So that's how it is.

So this is what liking someone is.
