Chapter 114 Plotting Against the Nine Hearts Begonia Family (Please subscribe and vote!)

Gu Xuan took advantage of her, and Ye Lingling naturally wouldn't let him take advantage of her. She immediately pulled her little hand away and escaped from Gu Xuan's embrace.

"What are you doing!" Ye Lingling stood a meter away from Gu Xuan and stared at him, questioning him.

Gu Xuan smiled slightly: "You must understand the status of the Nine-Heart Begonia in the world of support-type Soul Masters. If I give you the Eight-Petaled Immortal Orchid, your descendants will not need to be bound by this curse. Then, the status of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda may be overturned a hundred years later."

After a pause, Gu Xuan's smile faded, and he said seriously, "You're also from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. Do you think I would do something that would harm my own enemies? Even if I were tempted by your beauty, how would I get past Uncle Ning?"

Listening to Gu Xuan's words, she could still think carefully about the first half, but what the hell was the second half? What do you mean you're attracted by my good looks? You actually have feelings for me, don't you?

So, Little Blackie's showing his chicken feet now, huh?

However, Gu Xuan was right about one thing: he would never do something that would harm himself and his enemy.

As he said, if he takes the Eight-Petaled Celestial Orchid and breaks the curse of the Nine-Heart Begonia, then the Nine-Heart Begonia can flourish like the Seven-Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, and it is not impossible for it to stand shoulder to shoulder with or even surpass the Seven-Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda in the future in the support system.

From a purely economic perspective, this is tantamount to digging their own grave.

Even if the Nine Heart Begonia cannot shake the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, which is already one of the three upper sects, it will definitely affect the interests of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

"So you understand what I mean?" Gu Xuan looked at Ye Lingling seriously and said softly.

How insightful Ye Lingling was! She instantly grasped the key to the matter.

"So unless the Nine-Heart Begonia is merged into the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, you will not give me the Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid, right?" Ye Lingling's tone was somewhat helpless, but that was the truth.

Gu Xuan nodded and said, "That's right. Although it's a bit of a stretch, it's the only way if you want to get the Eight-Petaled Immortal Orchid. Otherwise, even if I agree, Uncle Ning won't."

Upon hearing this, Ye Lingling's eyes dimmed slightly.

If she wanted the Eight-Petaled Immortal Orchid, there was no need to merge with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. She could agree to that because she didn't want to suffer the pain of being separated from her loved ones by death due to the curse of her martial soul.

But even if she agreed, her grandmother would never agree. Why does the Nine-Heart Begonia live in seclusion? Isn't it to avoid getting involved in the struggles with other forces? Isn't it to preserve its bloodline?

Otherwise, given the power of the Nine-Heart Begonia, even if there were only two Nine-Heart Begonias in existence at the same time, they would definitely be the object of competition among various forces.

Seemingly sensing Ye Lingling's thoughts, Gu Xuan sighed and said, "I know your difficulties. Although I don't know what you've been through to be so eager to break this curse, I'm sorry, I can't make a decision on this matter."

Upon hearing about Gu Xuan's flower, Ye Lingling's heart sank even further, as she had just seen hope only to fall into the abyss of despair.

Ye Lingling walked to the cool chair and sat cross-legged, hugging her knees with both hands and burying her face in her thighs.

Seeing Ye Lingling's emotional changes in just a few minutes, Gu Xuan was also touched.

He came to Ye Lingling's side and gently stroked her back with his large hand. This time, it wasn't to take advantage of her; it was genuine comfort.

After a long while, Ye Lingling raised her head again, her veil soaked with tears. Gu Xuan directly removed Ye Lingling's veil, and Ye Lingling did not dodge.

The veil was removed, revealing a delicate face, with slightly red and swollen eyes that made one want to pity her.

He sighed. If he had been born into the Nine Heart Begonia family, perhaps things wouldn't have been like this. But now he was a member of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, and he had to maximize all the benefits that were good for the school.

So he had to start scheming against other people.

"Lingling, let's set a time. I'll go talk to your family. I believe they'll meet with me after they learn about the Eight-Petaled Immortal Orchid," Gu Xuan whispered in Ye Lingling's ear.

Upon hearing this, Ye Lingling looked up at Gu Xuan and said, "You..."

Gu Xuan and Ye Lingling looked at each other. Ye Lingling's cute appearance made people want to kiss her, but fortunately Gu Xuan's Dao heart was firm and he was able to restrain himself.

"Sigh, who told you to be so cute? Since you don't mind joining the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, all I need to do is win over your family. And I happen to have some resources at my disposal, so maybe I can do it?" Gu Xuan couldn't help but pinch Ye Lingling's little cheek.

Ye Lingling didn't dodge this time. Although she knew that Gu Xuan, that jerk, probably had ill intentions towards her for a long time, she found that she couldn't bring herself to hate him.

I don't know why. Could it be because of Gu Xuan's attitude towards me just now?

However, Ye Lingling felt somewhat guilty at this moment. The main wife had just left and she had already hooked up with Gu Xuan. How could she face Sister Yan in the future?

Ye Lingling paused for a moment, then said, "Okay, I'll go find Uncle Niu later and ask her to tell the family and Grandma about this."

After Ye Lingling finished speaking, Gu Xuan instructed her again: "Remember to state your request clearly, so that I can take the initiative. Remember to use the tone that means you can give me whatever you want or not, so that I will have the upper hand when your grandmother comes."

Hearing Gu Xuan's words, Ye Lingling's expression became somewhat unnatural. You are from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, and I am from the Nine Heart Begonia Family. Is it really okay for you to talk to me like this?

However, Ye Lingling did not refute it, because that was what she thought too.

After all, although the Nine Heart Begonia family lived in seclusion, the trauma it caused her during her childhood still haunts her, and even now, she would rather merge into the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and obtain the Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid to lift the curse.

After saying that, Gu Xuan put his arm around Ye Lingling again. Ye Lingling tried to push Gu Xuan away, but Gu Xuan held her firmly and she had no choice but to let him hold her.

She listened to Gu Xuan warily, ready to bite him to death if he dared to go any further.

"I've never been hypocritical or pretentious. I say what I think. I used to have reservations, but now I don't need to. If the Nine Heart Begonia family merges into the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, you and I will definitely marry. Otherwise, I won't feel at ease if the Nine Heart Begonia family, after the curse is lifted, isn't a true member of the family."

"Whether it's because I like you or because of interests, you're destined to be with me for life."

Gu Xuan spoke frankly about his purpose in doing so.

Upon hearing this, Ye Lingling's cheeks instantly flushed red, and even her ears felt hot.

"Then... what about Sister Yan?" Ye Lingling asked weakly.

If Gu Xuan takes the initiative, she wouldn't mind being with him, because her grandmother had two men, all for the sake of the Nine Heart Begonia's legacy.

Therefore, she does not reject polygamy, after all, this is the way things are in this era.

Moreover, Gu Xuan is among the best of this era in terms of both looks and talent, so she is definitely not at a disadvantage.

After all, rather than being forced to marry a man she didn't like in order to continue the Nine Heart Begonia line, she would rather be with someone she liked.

Upon hearing this, Gu Xuan's expression changed: "Hmm... let's not tell her yet. I haven't figured out how to explain it."

Ye Lingling's expression was strange: "So... this counts as having an affair?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Xuan's expression became quite interesting: "What do you mean by 'cheating'? That sounds so awful. We're just having a mutual relationship, otherwise I haven't seen you reject me."

Hearing Gu Xuan's words, Ye Lingling's face turned even redder, and her ears were so hot they could be used to fry eggs.

P.S.: Typos will be corrected first and then fixed later.
