Chapter 123: Chapter 123 She fell in love with me at first sight

"Cultivation is indeed not easy..."

Quan Jinbei’s eyes shifted toward Shi Yaoguang, his gaze hiding certain emotions, "It also took me quite some time to channel Qi into my body when I first started."

Unable to hold back, Cheng Lingdang, with an impudent tone, asked, "How much time did it take?"

Quan Jinbei’s gaze turned contemplative.

After a moment, he said, "It took less than five minutes, I guess."

The significantly moved Cheng Lingdang, who thought her master’s wife was kindly trying to comfort her: "..."

Quan Jinbei glanced at her and twisted the knife further, "My aptitude is really poor; it took such a long time to channel Qi into my body."

Cheng Lingdang: "..."

She gritted her teeth, feeling an impulse to rush up and fight him.

What unparalleled good mentor?

All men are scumbags.

Cheng Lingdang tightly hugged Shi Yaoguang’s arm, looking pitiful, and said, "Master~"

Shi Yaoguang raised an eyebrow, "What’s wrong?"

She didn’t believe that the argumentative Cheng Lingdang could easily be defeated by someone else.

Although...

Quan Jinbei’s tea ceremony aura was incredibly strong.

She didn’t know what he was thinking, to actually strike at a girl with such words.

Too much!

Shi Yaoguang silently criticized in her heart, but her words were comforting to Cheng Lingdang, "Everyone’s physique is different; there’s no need to compare with others."

Cheng Lingdang nodded, held her hands together, and rubbed her eyes, looking like someone who had been greatly wronged, "Master, you won’t despise me, will you?"

"I won’t despise you."

The bull that she had set her eyes on, she would definitely not despise it before it was fully developed.

Shi Yaoguang silently added in her heart and her gaze towards Cheng Lingdang became even more tender.

Cheng Lingdang didn’t understand the meaning behind it, but with Shi Yaoguang’s attitude, that was enough for her.

Right then, she showed Quan Jinbei a defiant smile.

Quan Jinbei’s phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, his sharp gaze sweeping over her.

For a moment, Cheng Lingdang felt as if her heart was about to stop.

Not about love, but just...

Cowardice.

She silently hugged Shi Yaoguang’s arm tighter, muttering complaints about Quan Jinbei in her heart.

Indeed, he was the notoriously fierce Quan Third Master; she really was blind to think her master and he were a good match!

Speaking of which, she only knew that after Quan Sicheng the scum cheated, his fiancee was switched to Shi Yiqing.

And then Shi Yaoguang moved into Quan Mansion, becoming Mrs. Quan.

She hadn’t inquired about the details at all!

With that thought, Cheng Lingdang couldn’t help but start to worry.

She cautiously sized up Quan Jinbei, her voice lowered to a whisper, "Master, how did you end up with him? Did he threaten you?"

At this, Cheng Lingdang clenched her fists, looking ready to seek vengeance for her master.

Shi Yaoguang chuckled lightly, "If I had been hidden away by Third Master as his secret lover, could you still save me from fire and water?"

Cheng Lingdang nodded seriously, "I will definitely try my hardest!"

Then she glanced at Quan Jinbei, closed her eyes as if pretending he wasn’t looking at her, and almost shouted, "I will absolutely fight against the evil forces to the end!"

Shi Yaoguang: "..."

Truly a precious gem.

Quan Jinbei let out a light snort, clearly unimpressed by her words.

Cheng Lingdang pouted and stealthily glared at him.

Then...

She saw Quan Jinbei take one step, two steps, three steps, until he was standing in front of her.

Unable to stand the oppressive atmosphere, Cheng Lingdang closed her eyes again.

The anticipated danger did not come.

Quan Jinbei simply reached out and pulled Shi Yaoguang’s arm from her grasp.

Under Shi Yaoguang’s puzzled gaze, he spoke unhurriedly, "She fell in love with me at first sight; she proposed to me the first time we met."

This remark was clearly addressed to Cheng Lingdang.

Cheng Lingdang was stunned.

She suddenly opened her eyes, looking at Shi Yaoguang in disbelief.

"Master, is what he said true?"

Shi Yaoguang thought for a moment, and aside from love at first sight, it seemed indeed to be the case.

Therefore, she nodded her head.

Cheng Lingdang pursed her lips, her expression one of being struck.

Shi Yaoguang was puzzled, "What’s wrong with you?"

"Nothing... nothing’s wrong." In her heart, Cheng Lingdang silently sighed, realizing her master was not immune to common tendencies.

She firmly believed in her heart that Shi Yaoguang must be a face-judger.

That’s why she had fallen for Quan Jinbei at first sight.

Even thinking, if there was a chance in the future, she would find a group of handsome men with different styles to tempt her master.

Then she would see how the lady master would mock her!

Quan Jinbei had no idea that Cheng Lingdang was already preparing to give him trouble by finding him rivals out of pettiness.

He whispered something to Shi Yaoguang and then hooked her away from Cheng Lingdang’s side.

Cheng Lingdang, looking at the two side by side, asked with a wronged tone, "Master, aren’t you staying to keep me company?"

Shi Yaoguang, "I have some matters to deal with, you should focus on your cultivation."

Quan Jinbei added fuel to the fire, "Give yourself a day, you should be able to channel energy into your body, right?"

Feeling humiliated, Cheng Lingdang looked up to the sky in anger, "Don’t underestimate me, I can definitely do it!"

Shi Yaoguang replied with a smile, "Do your best!"

Quan Jinbei emotionlessly echoed, "Do your best."

Cheng Lingdang shuffled her feet, silently listing Quan Jinbei as enemy number one in her heart.

...

Shi Yaoguang followed Quan Jinbei downstairs and asked curiously, "Did Lingdang offend you before?"

Quan Jinbei shook his head.

"Then why are you targeting her?"

"I can’t stand to see her clinging to you." After saying this, Quan Jinbei muttered dreamily, "I haven’t even held you yet."

Shi Yaoguang didn’t catch it clearly, "What?"

Quan Jinbei cleared his throat and changed the subject, "Nothing."

Seeing he didn’t wish to speak further, Shi Yaoguang didn’t press him and at once said, "Weren’t we going to deliver parcels? Let’s go."

Just now, Quan Jinbei had used delivering parcels together as an excuse to bring her out.

During the live broadcast on Saturday night, she had posted a lottery tweet.

Ten Space Buttons.

The list of winners had already come out, and it was a good opportunity to send out the items.

After mailing the parcels, the two went to Shiyuan Cosmetics together.

The live broadcast promotion had a great effect, and soon the reputation of the medicinal cosmetics was established.

Since the cosmetics worked miraculously well, there were inevitably some skeptical voices.

To deal with such remarks, the cure videos released on the official website served as the best evidence.

Videos of Zheng Xiuxin and other members of the Disfigurement Sisterhood Alliance treating facial injuries were edited and featured in the promotional videos on the official website.

Of course, all these exposures were voluntary.

Zheng Xiuxin and several others even became employees of Shiyuan Cosmetics, practically serving as living billboards.

...

Shiyuan Cosmetics was doing a roaring trade both online and offline.

Every hour, the orders that refreshed made onlookers envious.

The Shi Family was no exception.

The Shi Family company had recently encountered a problem, unable to attract investment, and facing some difficulty in fund turnover.

Just at this time, Shiyuan Cosmetics took off.

Looking at the super high turnover, Shi’s father regretted deeply in his heart and felt even more resentful towards his biological daughter, Shi Yaoguang.

"Really an ungrateful wretch!"
