Chapter 267 - 262: Heroine and Demoness
Ye Lingxian looked at Yin Shaochen with the same fondness as a mother-in-law meeting her son-in-law, liking him more with each encounter. Although he was not her son-in-law yet, he had been betrothed to her daughter since childhood, and the relations between the two families were good. How could this marriage arrangement possibly fall through?
Seeing Yin Shaochen’s refined and polite demeanor, as well as his vigorous spirit, and observing his inner breath to be calm and steady, Ye Lingxian sighed softly. It seemed that her own daughter was not worthy of him.
Although her daughter was beautiful, she had always been mischievous and disliked studying. Now, her Inner Strength was only just beginning, far inferior to that of Yin Shaochen. Additionally, her understanding of the Pharmacy Scripture and Poison Manual was superficial. With such a huge martial arts force like Chongjian Manor, what should she do if her daughter could not fulfill her role as the Lady of the Manor in the future?
From then on, Ye Lingxian made up her mind. She could no longer be soft-hearted and allow her daughter to act recklessly. Indulging her now would only harm her in the future.
"Uncle Ye, Aunt Ye, please come inside the inner city. You must be exhausted from the days of travel. I have arranged a simple meal at Funing Restaurant for you to rest a little," said Yin Shaochen, acting with consideration and maintaining proper etiquette, his smile on his face making him quite likable.
After greeting Ye Chongtian and Ye Lingxian, Yin Shaochen then turned to Ye Qiu and smiled gently at her, the affection in his gesture was quite evident.
Ye Qiu felt disgusted at his graceful gentleman-like appearance, as in her past life, he had deceived her feelings using the same manner. If he didn’t like her, why did he always put on such a sincere facade?
It led her to foolishly give away her heartfelt love, as well as recklessly reveal all the secrets of Medicine Valley.
"Sister Ye Qiu, my name is Yin Shaochen. You can call me Brother Shaochen. There are many fun places in Yunzhou City; shall I take you there tomorrow?" Yin Shaochen, noticing Ye Qiu looking around since getting off the carriage, said thoughtfully.
This year, Yin Shaochen was already fifteen and quite tall. To accommodate Ye Qiu, who was shorter, he considerately bent down to speak with her.
