Love letters are not allowed in the exorcism notebook!-Chapter 623 - 46 Jiang Xiaotang Never Inferior to Others
Men are all vain creatures.
Money and beauty... I mean, who wouldn’t want career success and love?
Girls can boast about a flock of flatterers, so why should men feel ashamed of it, am I right?
Deep down, Wang Yunxiao did feel a tinge of secret pleasure from He Lan’s clinginess.
While he was secretly pleased, he made his stance quite clear to He Lan on the surface.
My main goal in life right now is to study. Studying makes me grow, studying makes me happy.
I’m not even considering starting a family or a career at the moment.
What else do you want from me?
Little Gourd is a sensible and good child, unable to throw a tantrum at her big brother.
It’s totally normal for big brother to take a liking to Eldest Miss Li, with all her remarkable qualities. She truly can’t compete there.
But what are you, He Lan? Some wild woman who just popped out of nowhere, oozing provocativeness from head to toe. Like you deserve to compete with me for a man?
In Wang Yunxiao’s gang... I mean, team, Little Gourd is the cute and well-behaved youngest member, but to others, she’s no pushover.
The nickname "Scar Wang" Wang Yunxiao had in the Jianghu World, the "Scar" part is actually on her face, meaning she deserves at least half the credit for it.
He Lan stood dutifully at the school gates holding a lunch box, her expression unchanging and eyes steady. As long as she kept her mouth shut, anyone would praise her as a decent housewife.
Little Gourd, with her arm on Wang Yunxiao’s, marched up to He Lan imposingly and said seriously, "Miss He, I hope you’ll stop pestering my big brother. This is a school, a place where decent people come to study and learn. Your frequent visits will inevitably tarnish my brother’s reputation here!"
He Lan slightly raised her eyebrows, looked Little Gourd up and down, then turned her head and coquettishly said to Wang Yunxiao, "Junior Martial Uncle, if you’re trying to find a woman to fend me off, at least find one without a scarred face. Let’s not even talk about your reputation—what are you treating me as?"
Sure enough, she resorted to personal attacks right out of the gate.
But this was already within Little Gourd’s expectations.
Little Gourd replied coldly, "My name is Jiang Xiaotang. Nice to meet you. I don’t blame you for being blind. But if you dare mock my appearance again, don’t blame me for ruining your face!"
He Lan’s expression faltered slightly.
She had thought Little Gourd was just a naive schoolgirl, but the latter stood her ground and issued a fierce warning.
However, He Lan wasn’t a novice when it came to Jianghu World experiences, and after quickly recovering, she smiled and said, "I see, it’s Miss Jiang, a name I’ve long heard of. I really didn’t know that Junior Martial Uncle had such a formidable female hero by his side. Junior Martial Uncle, you’re quite tight-lipped, having never mentioned her to me."
"If I didn’t come to deliver your meals, would you even know I existed?"
He Lan’s remark turned Little Gourd’s face pale.
I already told you not to PvP with her; this woman’s ability to throw insults is a family heirloom.
Wang Yunxiao couldn’t help but think to himself.
But at this time, he had to step in.
"Alright, Miss He, as you can see, this is my little sister, famous for her dexterity. There’s no need for you to worry about my meals and clothing anymore. Please stop coming to deliver food."
He Lan chuckled playfully, "Junior Martial Uncle, you don’t have to be so heartless. I’m not someone who can’t handle a loss. Just give her a kiss in front of me right now, I’ll turn around, leave, and we’ll never see each other again."
Little Gourd’s face turned red instantly.
If she had not taken He Lan seriously before, He Lan’s counter now was basically saying—who the heck thinks you’re decent?
"What’s the matter, shy?"
He Lan looked at Little Gourd’s embarrassed state and couldn’t help but snicker inwardly. Do I not know what kind of person Junior Martial Uncle is? Full of lust but no nerve. If only he took the initiative, it wouldn’t be me delivering meals to him; he’d be accompanying me to the hospital for a checkup by now.
Wang Yunxiao said helplessly, "That’s enough already."
"Wow, look at you, all protective. Seems like you two have quite the special relationship."
He Lan’s heart sourly noted, it was so hard to find a decent man, why couldn’t he just get a clue?
Here I am, laying it all out, what more do you want from me?
She knew inside, however, that she had no more room to retreat. If she just walked away today, she really wouldn’t have the face to keep pestering him.
As thoughts flashed through her mind, she put away her smile and seriously said, "Miss Jiang, let’s not joke around. How about we step aside to talk?"
Wang Yunxiao was puzzled, "Why is there something you can’t say in front of me?"
"There’s plenty that can’t be said in front of you! You, Young Hero Wang, with your upright character are not afraid of skew shadows, could it be that you are afraid of us girls gossiping about you behind your back?"
He Lan gave Little Gourd a provocative look, instantly igniting Little Gourd’s competitive spirit, who then snorted coldly, "Fine, let’s talk. Big brother, you go ahead, I want to see what shameless things this woman has to say!"
I’m calling bullshit on both of you!
Wang Yunxiao thought to himself that he definitely couldn’t leave now. What good conversation could there possibly be with the two of them together?
"No! Less contact with her! Don’t pick up any of her bad habits!"
"Big Brother!"
"Are you not listening to your big brother now?"
Stomping her feet in a huff, Little Gourd turned to He Lan and said, "My Big Brother said there’s nothing to talk about with you. We are not of the same kind and better not to see each other in the future!"
He Lan’s face was filled with shock, looking at Wang Yunxiao in disbelief.
How did you manage to train a female bandit like this?
One second she’s about to scratch my face, the next you’ve got her smoothed out?
Truly worthy of being Junior Martial Uncle, just like my dad. Men of Swallow Sect are all hard-hearted, and you can’t warm them up no matter how you try.
Now it seems I’m left with only the last resort, something I hadn’t planned on using so soon.
But if I don’t use it now, I might never get the chance again.
He Lan looked at Wang Yunxiao dazedly and softly said, "Nevermind, I’m not blind. I can see Miss Jiang’s deep-rooted affection for you. But I don’t understand why you’re so guarded against me, I’ve never harmed you."
As she spoke, tears began to flow down her face.
Oh, don’t do this—
Wang Yunxiao instantly felt awkward.
Standing here crying in broad daylight, at the school gates, what is this supposed to mean?
"Wang Yunxiao, I won’t bring you lunch anymore! Are you happy now!"
He Lan threw the lunch box to the ground, tears falling in large drops.
Tsk tsk...
Li Mumu, silently enjoying the drama from inside the classroom, couldn’t help but marvel to herself.
This is the work of a master, the expert of ’capturing by letting go.’
The only shortcoming is that the change came too fast, without the proper buildup of emotion, without a good pacing, making it seem a bit brusque to outsiders.
But it’s more than enough to handle a virgin.
Looks like it’s not just her own skills - she must have had guidance from a master.
