Chapter Ninety-Six: Please Come This Way, Teacher...

Jiang Lin was a little stunned.

That worked too?

Could it be that Senior Sister Lin thought his face was so breathtakingly handsome that being stared at by such a stunning countenance made her blush?

Damn. Was it really that ridiculous?

Then if Jiang Lin looked at Senior Sister Lin with his true appearance, would she end up so dazzled by him that she got pregnant on the spot?

No matter what, the mission was considered complete. The system had said the clue was in the Qian household, so all he had to do was slip into the Qian residence!

Meanwhile, the instant everyone saw such a beautiful woman, who had been aloof a moment ago, suddenly wearing such a shy and girlish expression, their jaws nearly hit the floor.

Especially Tan Xiao. He drank cup after cup of wine, one in tribute to freedom, one in tribute to the moonlight, and one in tribute to the green hat atop his junior brother’s head.

Likewise, the two junior sisters stared wide-eyed at the bashful, maidenly look on their senior sister’s face.

My heavens! Senior Sister is blushing!

"Miss Lin, Miss Lin?"

"I like me... like me... Xiao Lin says he likes me... which means we can get married... and after marriage we can... how annoying... so annoying... but how many children should we have? Five or six? Oh dear... how difficult... so difficult..."

"Miss Lin!"

"Senior Sister?"

"Big Sister Lin!"

Just as Jiang Lin was about to say something else, he noticed that his senior sister was muttering to herself about who knew what, and then she simply leaned backward and collapsed.

Jiang Lin immediately caught Lin Qingwan in his arms. But the moment he held that soft, delicate body against him, he seemed to hear a sharp crack, as though someone’s heart had just suffered a fatal blow.

Then Senior Sister Lin looked at him like that, her eyes slowly closing as she lost consciousness in his embrace.

Even though most of the scent had been masked by the sachet, it was still Xiao Lin’s smell...

Jiang Lin handed the unconscious Senior Sister Lin over to the two junior sisters, then straightened up and adjusted his collar. The aura of a saint radiated from him, so dazzling that it blinded everyone present.

"I... I don’t believe it! This girl must already have feelings for you! It doesn’t count!"

The not-so-bright-looking Young Master Qian pointed at Jiang Lin and questioned him, trembling with disbelief. He could not accept that such a master of romance existed in this world.

"Don’t believe it?"

Jiang Lin turned around and, smiling, walked up to one of Young Master Qian’s maids. Step by step, he drew nearer, showing no intention of stopping.

"Young Master, what are you... what are you going to do..."

The delicate-faced maid clasped her hands before her chest, retreating step by step under Jiang Lin’s pressure.

Bang!

When the maid had nowhere left to retreat, Jiang Lin directly pinned her against the wall. In a deep, magnetic baritone, he slowly said:

"Miss, are you free tonight?"

Whoosh!

Like a kettle boiling over, the maid’s face flushed from her neck all the way to her forehead. Three wisps of white steam rose from her ears and the top of her head.

"I... I would... be willing..."

Those words seemed to drain her of all strength. The maid slid down the wall and collapsed onto the floor, her face still dazed with infatuation, drool practically spilling from the corners of her mouth.

Jiang Lin brushed the hair from his forehead and walked over to another maid. Lifting a strand of her hair, he inhaled lightly and said with profound gravity, "It smells like chewing gum..."

Thud...

Though she did not understand what on earth this young master meant by that, the girl was already toppling over. Clutching the strand of hair Jiang Lin had just touched, she kept repeating over and over, "The smell of chewing gum... the smell of chewing gum... chewing gum... chewing gum..."

Like a broken record.

Turning around, Jiang Lin placed his hands behind his back, lifted his chin, and looked down at the foolish young master of the estate with cool disdain.

"Well? Do you believe it now?"

With a plop, the boy who looked to weigh three hundred pounds dropped to his knees and clung tightly to Jiang Lin’s leg.

"Teacher! I want to learn how to woo girls!"

Looking at him, Jiang Lin smiled and nodded, then patted the boy’s head as if he were an immortal bestowing a blessing.

"A pupil worth teaching."

Chewing gum?

Tan Xiao, seated on a stool, stroked his chin and looked toward Jiang Lin.

Why does that word sound so familiar, as if someone once said it before? Who said it again?

Suddenly, Tan Xiao’s eyes lit up as he stared at Jiang Lin.

Could this Mr. Snake be...

Noticing Tan Xiao’s gaze, Jiang Lin smiled and nodded.

Seeing their senior sister lying unconscious in the arms of her junior sisters, Jiang Lin simply unsealed his spiritual aperture. The sensation of recovering his spiritual power felt like your jungler coming to mid and smashing the lane wide open for you. It sent a shiver of pleasure through him.

Jiang Lin sent a message directly through the mind-sea: "Senior Brother Tan, come with me! We’re about to do something big!"

"Xiao Lin, so it really is you! No wonder Senior Sister blushed!"

"What do you mean, no wonder me? Forget it, I’ll explain later. Senior Brother, come with me to the Qian residence at once."

"But Senior Sister..."

"Rest assured, Senior Brother. The two junior sisters are still here. Senior Sister will be fine."

In truth, even if the two junior sisters were not there, Jiang Lin felt that his senior sister would still be fine.

What a joke. Had he ever seen the protagonist come to harm?

Besides, the grandmaster and grandmistress had surely placed a protective array upon Senior Sister Lin. There was definitely no problem.

"All right! No problem!"

Tan Xiao trusted this junior brother. Just like back then, when Xiao Lin had dragged him to the rooftop of the female cultivators’ dormitory to admire the moon, only for them to really see the moon that night. The moon was truly enormous and perfectly round.

Or like that day when Xiao Lin had dragged him along to smash the bath basin of the woman he had feelings for.

Sure enough, after that, whenever he sent her messages at night, she never again said, "I’m going to take a bath..."

No matter how others judged this junior brother, he was a good junior brother through and through, with a heart full of upright righteousness.

"Young Master Qian, it’s not impossible for me to teach you. However, this art of wooing girls cannot be learned in a day or two."

"If you do not mind, Teacher, please stay at my Qian residence. Our house is quite large."

"In that case, I won’t be polite. Do you have someone to warm the bed?"

"Of course!"

"Hahaha, easy, easy. Brother Tan, and you, little Qian, let’s go."

"Teacher, this way please..."

The two junior sisters watched the direction in which Mr. Su departed with great strides. In that instant, the image of the refined and scholarly gentleman in their hearts slowly began to collapse.

Could a scholar... be this wild too?

Somehow...

They liked it.

At the same time, in the Qian residence, a woman dressed in coarse cloth, with burn scars and knife marks on her face, knocked on the gate.

A servant of the Qian household slowly opened the door. The moment he saw the woman’s face, he nearly fell to the ground in fright.

"Who are you, girl? Hurry up and leave! Don’t stand here scaring people!"

"I am alone and have nowhere to rely on. I only ask for a place to fill my belly. I can chop wood, draw water, do anything. Might you take me in?"

The moment the servant’s gaze accidentally met hers, just for an instant, his eyes gradually lost their luster.

"Y-yes... but... I need to go... go ask... ask the steward..."
