Refining the Mountains and Rivers

Chapter 1214 – The Villain Qin Yu

Dragini said, “When my father was drunk one time, he mentioned that Peachy has the aura of a dao quintessence…dao quintessence, that is something only a Saint has. Peachy isn’t a saint, but she has the aura of a dao quintessence on her. Do you know what the reason behind that is?”

Qin Yu’s heart shrank.

“If father can see something, then other Saints can too. This is the reason why people crazily pursue Peachy. What they want is not just the status and glory they will obtain after marrying Peachy, but they also want to peep at the Spring Master’s Great Dao through her. Then even want to use this method to seize her dao quintessence!”

It was no wonder that these cultivators swarmed over and no matter how sincere they were or how outstanding their conditions were, they weren’t able to move her at all. She was already well aware of her circumstances.

These suitors likely had secretive thoughts that they couldn’t tell anyone. For her to be pursued like this was only torture. Even if one of two of these suitors were sincere, would Peachy dare to give them a chance?

Extrapolating that further, could Peachy’s normally indifferent attitude be a deliberate camouflage she put on to protect herself?

At this time, Qin Yu could determine that Peachy was related to the Spring Master’s Great Dao. His emotions suddenly became complex.

On one hand, the difficulty of recovering Ning Ling and You Qi became higher. On the other hand…he was filled with guilt towards Peachy.

In particular, as he thought about when he asked her if she was angry, the truth was that she had plenty of reasons to be angry with him.

He took a deep breath and looked at Dragini, “What do you want to do?”

Dragini said, “It’s simple. The reason they are like rabid dogs, chasing after Peachy and not letting go, is because they want to move her heart and become the peach garden’s son-in-law. But what if the peach garden already has a son-in-law?”

Qin Yu’s eyes widened, “No, no, come up with something else!”

What kind of bullshit idea was this? He felt guilty and did want to help Peachy, but there was always a limit to helping others. He couldn’t sacrifice himself for that.

And being the peach garden’s son-in-law?

Would Peachy turn on him and place him in a difficult position? Thinking about it, if he dared to smear the reputation of the Spring Master’s beloved daughter, wouldn’t he be crushed into goo?

Qin Yu stared at Dragini and started to suspect that she was using this opportunity to dig a pit and have him jump in. This was the same as killing two birds with one arrow!

Dragini was so angry that her face turned red, “Stop looking at me that way. If I wanted to harm you, do you think I would need to use such a method? If it weren’t for helping Peachy, you could forget any idea of pulling together some relationship with her!”

Qin Yu had a firm expression, “There’s no room for discussion.”

Dragini said with annoyance, “If you don’t agree, come up with a solution yourself!”

Qin Yu: …

“Look, if there was another choice I wouldn’t have come looking for you.” She took a deep breath and continued, “Don’t worry, I’ve already thought of everything. As long as you cooperate, you can just stand there and you won’t have to take the initiative to do anything.”

Then, she explained her plan.

Qin Yu hesitated.

Dragini clenched her jaws and said, “Are you even a man? Don’t forget, you already received many things using Peachy’s name!”

Qin Yu said, “This has nothing to do with whether I am a man. I have to think about this. After all, even if the Spring Master and senior-apprentice sister don’t blame me, I have to be a shield. What kind of people will I be blocking? You should know this better than I do, so why don’t you think about what kind of situation I’d be in?”

Sensing the changes in Qin Yu’s attitude, Dragini squeezed out a smile and said, “Of course I can. So hurry up and think about it. I’m waiting.”

Time slowly passed. As Dragini was about to reach the limits of her patience, Qin Yu heaved a sigh.

He welcomed Dragini’s look and said, “First, I’ll go with your plan. I won’t take a stand nor will I refute anything. If things develop differently from how you say, I will withdraw at any time. Second, you have to guarantee that you will no longer try to harm me.”

Dragini readily agreed. She tossed down a few words and then hurriedly left.

After leaving through the courtyard doors, she coldly sneered. The words of a woman couldn’t be trusted, and this was more so for the words of a beautiful woman.

You don’t have any common sense and still dare to come out and hang? Hum hum, just wait for your bad luck to come!

As Qin Yu watched Dragini leave, he had a helpless look on his face. Of course he couldn’t fully believe everything Dragini said, but the truth was that he could no longer tolerate these people that kept harassing Peachy.

Okay. Pretending to be the peach garden’s son-in-law was definitely dangerous. But as long as he didn’t say anything, there was room for things to turn around.

In the worst case situation, he would take a bite out of Dragini and drag her out, fully revealing everything. Since he was doing this to help Peachy, the Spring Master wouldn’t be heavy-handed with him.

After considering things over and over, he sighed. In any case, he had already agreed. Even if he felt regret, Dragini wouldn’t give him a chance to back out. He could only take things one step at a time.

Peachy was in the East Sea. Once rumors spread, she would learn about it. He would wait and see what her reaction was like first.

If things deteriorated, he would rush to the brink and clarify things with everyone and cleanly extricate himself from the mess.

If things were successful…he would brace himself and become a shield. Just consider it a chance to atone for his guilt.

…

It was unknown where the rumors began, but they seemed to spread through the entire East Sea Dragon Palace in a single night.

Whether it was the high-ranking officials of the Dragon Palace, the guests who came to celebrate the longevity feast, or the shrimp soldiers and crab generals, everyone heard this astonishing news. It was said that even the crab girl who was stuck outside the courtyard crying for several days was left dazed by this news.

The daughter of the peach garden, Peachy, and the new Ninth Mister of the peach garden, Qin Yu, had fallen in love with each other and their relationship had been approved by the Spring Master.

Countless versions of this rumor spread. There was one version where it was love at first sight, one where they endured hardships and shared weal and woe, one where she was touched by sincerity…in short, all sorts of rumors spread about how they came to be together.

Of course, this was enough!

In a flash, everyone learned of Qin Yu’s name. He became the target of envy.

What nonsense, were they supposed to not envy him?

This was the daughter of the peach garden, the Spring Master’s only bloodline descendant! For her, the Spring Master had gone to battle numerous times.

Marrying her was the equivalent of having an invincible sword and a gold medal that spared death.

As long as they took care of Peachy…it might be an exaggeration to say that they could freely travel through the vast brightness world, but besides the supreme Rulers and a few super ancient True Saints, there was no one who would dare make things difficult for them.

The peach garden’s Ninth Mister might have an honored status, but he was at least seven or eight levels from being able to qualify as the peach garden’s son-in-law!

To say that he leapt into the heavens with a single bound wasn’t excessive at all!

Ordinary cultivators might not know what happened at the Profound Vision World, but this wasn’t a secret to Saints.

The people in the Dragon Palace came to a sudden realization. No wonder the Spring Master interfered, sending Peachy into the Endless Sea and using his will to suppress seven Half-Saints and take Qin Yu into the peach garden.

Originally, they thought that this was too hasty for a True Saint who had reached the other shore. After all, accepting a disciple was a major event for a Saint. Which Saint’s disciple hadn’t gone through numerous trials and tribulations before they were accepted?

Thinking about it now, perhaps the Spring Master had taken a liking to Qin Yu and decided to accept him as his lucky son-in-law. This was the reason why he had Peachy personally go and take Qin Yu in, to give them a chance to get to know each other better.

Yes, this was it, this was definitely it!

After receiving the Spring Master’s approval, Qin Yu then came with Peachy to the East Sea to offer their congratulations. From this, it could be seen that neither of them opposed. If so, the marriage was basically a done deal.

Envy! They had to envy! Envy to the limit!

If someone didn’t feel envy, they were either a puppet made of wood or an idiot.

At the same time, some people in the Dragon Palace almost broke their teeth when they heard this news.

Qin Yu was a genuine villain!

Since he had already obtained the Spring Master’s approval and was together with Peachy, why didn’t he tell them first?

They thought about everything they had done in front of Qin Yu. Weren’t they the same as clowns?

And, the most excessive thing was that it was fine if Qin Yu pretended not to know anything, but he had even accepted all their gifts!

This…this…was pushing things too far!

Not only did he play with them, he was simply riding on their backs!

No matter if it was an aunty or uncle, no one could endure this!

There were some people who calmly thought about the situation and furrowed their eyebrows together. They knew that there hadn’t been any news from the peach garden about this, so how could news of this spread out from the East Sea first?

Moreover, why hadn’t Qin Yu said anything yet? What if this was a misunderstanding? They couldn’t be impulsive. At the very least they had to be patient and wait until things were confirmed before making a decision.

Of course, the reason they had such an idea was because they had met with Qin Yu. He couldn’t compare with them in looks, background, not to mention cultivation level.

Ah…the Space Laws were formidable, but it wasn’t like they were hopeless. And what kind of person was the Spring Master? Would he toss out his daughter just because of some mere Space Laws?

Yes, this had to be it.

The elite juniors thought that if Qin Yu couldn’t even compare with them, how could he match with Peachy? There had to be a problem here.

Those that were impatient had already run over to launch a probe at Qin Yu.

Before opening the door, Qin Yu had already scolded Dragini countless times in his heart. This insane woman really was unreliable. In her opening salvo, she had created such a mess.

They had come to an agreement about what the rumors would be like, but she had suddenly altered them. And what was this about having obtained the approval of the Spring Master?

This was just courting death!

He couldn’t acknowledge it, he absolutely couldn’t acknowledge it. Otherwise if the Spring Master blamed him later, there would be nothing he could do. Only in the worst possible situation could he drag Dragini out and tell the truth, saying that he was forced to do this.

Because behind Dragini, there was the Dragon Saint who spoiled her beyond all reasonable measure. Dragging her out would be the same as offending the Dragon Saint. Would there still be a good ending for him then? This damned Dragini, she really hadn’t given up on harming him! Just wait, he would definitely return the favor two times over!
