Chapter 34: Su Wanqing? Frigid?

***

What a sight to behold, the male lead actually asking me to help him win over the female lead?

Hearing Ye Fan’s words, Lin Muyu’s expression changed quite dramatically.

Could it be that the male lead and female lead don’t have a good relationship?

Or perhaps they haven’t started developing feelings yet?

“I wonder what junior sister thinks? After the matter is accomplished, whatever junior sister desires, I, Ye Fan, can do my best to fulfill it.”

Ye Fan put on what he thought was a benevolent smile as he looked at Lin Muyu.

This handsome appearance combined with his “earnest” request would probably make any simple-minded girl agree immediately.

But Lin Muyu wouldn’t be attracted by Ye Fan’s looks. After all, she liked pretty girls, and men could get as far away as possible.

She wasn’t into men in her previous life either.

Moreover, having spent several years in society as an adult in her previous life, she naturally wouldn’t be so naive.

Listening to Ye Fan’s words, Lin Muyu began to contemplate.

From the current situation, it seemed Su Wanqing and Ye Fan’s relationship hadn’t made any progress.

And Ye Fan wanted to win over Su Wanqing, even using the word “deal with” without hesitation, he was quite determined.

His purpose in coming to find me is to have me help them build a relationship…

But his words were like trying to get something for nothing, success wasn’t guaranteed, and even if successful, he might not actually fulfill his promise.

Wait!

A flash of inspiration struck Lin Muyu’s mind.

Did the original really provoke Su Wanqing out of jealousy over her beauty? Clearly, her own face wasn’t inferior to Su Wanqing…

Or could it be… the original was also used by the person before her like this? Becoming his tool to win over Su Wanqing.

And perhaps after success, to silence her, he deliberately arranged for the original to be thrown to the Hehuan Sect?

Lin Muyu felt she had guessed most of it, and a chill shot straight to her head.

Seeing Lin Muyu’s expression changing unpredictably, Ye Fan also asked Elder Feng in his mind:

“Elder Feng, will this really work?”

“What? Don’t trust this old man? To win over someone, you must first work on those around them.”

An aged voice came through, carrying confidence in its tone.

“How could that be? I’m just worried I won’t be able to win over Lin Muyu to work for me, and instead expose my purpose.”

Ye Fan’s tone was somewhat dejected, he feared the matter would be exposed and he’d be crushed to death by Xinlian with a single finger.

“Rest assured, all under heaven bustles for profit, as long as you give people sufficient benefits, how could anyone not be tempted?”

Elder Feng’s tone was slow and weathered, appearing quite convincing.

“But I don’t seem to have anything valuable…”

Although Ye Fan very much agreed with Elder Feng’s words, he had used all his valuable items for cultivation, and he was quite poor now.

If it weren’t impossible to take Lin Muyu out of the sect, he probably would want to immediately sell Lin Muyu to the Hehuan Sect and trade her to that demoness for spirit stones and spiritual artifacts.

“Foolish! How did I teach you? Don’t you still have that face and mouth of yours? Can’t even pull off getting something for nothing?”

Elder Feng’s tone was one of disappointment.

“If you can’t even deceive a little girl, how will you seek revenge? And how will you become immortal?”

Ye Fan immediately straightened his attitude and flattered: “Elder Feng’s teaching is correct!”

One general’s success is built on ten thousand bones, his path to immortality would surely be paved with mountains of corpses.

Just as he was communicating with Elder Feng, a clear and pleasant female voice pulled him back from his thoughts.

“So it’s just about matchmaking senior brother with Senior Sister Su. I wonder what senior brother can give this junior sister?”

Lin Muyu’s tone was relaxed.

After realizing Ye Fan’s purpose, she actually felt relieved.

Ye Fan would only act after the matter was accomplished.

Seeing Lin Muyu’s expression soften, no longer seeming afraid of him like at the beginning, his heart rejoiced, feeling there was hope.

Then he pretended to be serious:

“Senior brother is a cultivator about to step into the Golden Core stage. Whether it’s spirit stones or spiritual artifacts, junior sister can speak freely. Even some slightly unconventional small requests, senior brother can fulfill~”

Seeing Ye Fan again flaunting his somewhat greasy charm, Lin Muyu only felt disgusted.

But she didn’t show it, instead enduring the disgust and putting on an adoring expression:

“Wow, so senior brother is this amazing.”

Faced with Lin Muyu’s flattery, Ye Fan unconsciously curved his lips into a smile, feeling somewhat elated:

“Of course, I’m the number one in the inner sect.”

Of course, this excluded Su Wanqing, she had Xinlian, so she was a true disciple.

“Since senior brother is so amazing, then why do you need my help to pursue Senior Sister Su?”

Lin Muyu tilted her little head, pretending to be innocent, but her words took a sudden turn.

Hearing this, Ye Fan’s originally smiling face stiffened.

His girl-charming techniques had reached a respectable level with Elder Feng’s help, and picking up ordinary girls was practically effortless.

But they had absolutely no effect on Su Wanqing alone.

He somewhat suspected whether Su Wanqing was frigid, she actually had no thoughts whatsoever about him, such a handsome guy.

“Cough cough, I feel Xiao Qing is somewhat frigid, it’s hard to pursue her without help…” Ye Fan scratched his head and responded awkwardly.

Su Wanqing? Frigid?

Is that right?

Lin Muyu thought of those three times of crazy Su Wanqing, and her body couldn’t help but tremble.

Like hell I’d believe that!

Seeing Lin Muyu suddenly looking at him with a strange expression, Ye Fan touched his own face and asked puzzledly:

“What’s wrong? Are you mesmerized by senior brother’s handsome face? Don’t worship senior brother so much.”

“…”

How could there be such a shameless person…

Could the group friend have written the male lead based on himself? After all, being able to write such a book with such a male lead, he seems quite shameless too.

After stabilizing her mindset slightly, Lin Muyu’s fear of Ye Fan completely dissipated.

At least, as long as he hadn’t won over Su Wanqing, he wouldn’t act against her.

As for winning over Su Wanqing…

Although she and Su Wanqing had already done those things, she was still just a girl, and cannon fodder at that, how could she compare to the male lead…

As the male lead, he should definitely win over the female lead, right? She just needed to delay the progress and prepare well before then.

But why did her heart hurt so much…

“Junior sister, make your decision quickly!”

Ye Fan urged somewhat impatiently.

He estimated the time, Su Wanqing should be coming soon.

Hearing Ye Fan’s urging, Lin Muyu smoothed her silky hair and responded unhurriedly:

“I agree to help senior brother matchmake with Senior Sister Su. As long as senior brother doesn’t make me use tricks like drugging, I will definitely help with all my strength.”

The reason she agreed to Ye Fan was because by becoming this “spy,” she could learn about Ye Fan’s moves on Su Wanqing.

Then she just needed to “accidentally” mess up some things slightly.

That way she could delay time, and her safety would have some guarantee.

Hearing the word “drugging,” Ye Fan’s expression suddenly became strange, but he immediately recovered and said with satisfaction:

“Junior sister has made the most correct choice.”

Then, both harboring ulterior motives, they looked at each other.

Ye Fan walked up to Lin Muyu and, intending to imitate his senior brother by patting Lin Muyu on the shoulder as a gesture of approval.

Suddenly, a cold voice came:

“What are you doing?!”
