Chapter 293: Chapter 235: The True Face of Jiang Cheng_2
“`

“No,” Liang Lu still said.

“Look into my eyes, think carefully.”

Either way, wisdom comes with age, and Liang Lu’s composure was disrupted by Li Qingge, immediately falling into confusion.

Honestly, she did have an unspeakable secret with Jiang Cheng—she had once been afflicted by a Reverse Direction Relaxation Talisman, and if it weren’t for Jiang Cheng’s reminder, she would have certainly faced utter embarrassment. There was also the matter of her discussion with Jiang Cheng about the royal succession. And Jiang Cheng had asked her to keep the Demon Sect’s cultivation techniques a secret…

“Do you?” Li Qingge asked back.

This time, Liang Lu couldn’t speak.

And the heart-shaped chart representing her emotions began to turn red and beat wildly.

Li Qingge looked at the heart-shaped chart, showing an expression of relief.

She knew all along that Liang Lu was just being stubborn.

Mo Ningdan had warned her numerous times, yet Liang Lu still risked meeting Jiang Cheng, harboring a lucky mentality; could that be called “just friends”?

Not even a dog would believe it!

Now, the topic returned to the beginning, “Liang Lu, I will ask you once again, to what extent has your relationship with Jiang Cheng progressed?”

Honestly, Liang Lu didn’t feel she had much of a relationship with Jiang Cheng, if anything, she was just envious of his talismans, that’s all.

But after the commotion just now, she didn’t know how to respond to Li Qingge anymore.

After all, she grew up in the harem since she was little, never in contact with male cultivators, never been in love; her emotional experience was cleaner than a blank slate, neither the Noble Consort nor school taught her about it, and she herself was also unclear about what “progress” or “no progress” meant.

“Senior, I don’t know.”

Li Qingge sighed, Liang Lu’s attitude clearly showed deep affection.

But it wasn’t too late to find out now; there was still hope for recovery.

“I will ask you a simple question, suppose you can ascend to become the Emperor of Liang, then you must face the issue of lineage succession. You need to know, a single person can’t reproduce; you must find a partner to cooperate. Who would you choose?”

The first person that came to Liang Lu’s mind was Lin Yao because in all of Qingxuan University, only Lin Yao had managed to defeat her. Moreover, Lin Yao was incredibly beautiful, conducted herself with dignity, had a clean family background, and was exceptionally ambitious, fitting her standards for a spouse.

The only flaw was Lin Yao’s gender.

Apart from Lin Yao, Liang Lu only thought of Jiang Cheng.

Jiang Cheng was suitable in every aspect, but Liang Lu felt that there wasn’t just her among the female cultivators who found Jiang Cheng appropriate.

“Is my question hard to answer?” Li Qingge asked.

“Mhm,” Liang Lu nodded.

“Alright then, I’ll ask differently. If you had three male cultivators in front of you, Tang Yi, Cheng Zhengxi, Jiang Cheng, who would you choose?”

“Jiang Cheng.”

Given options, Liang Lu’s problem-solving speed significantly improved.

Mo Ningdan said, “Tang Yi and Cheng Zhengxi are long-famed geniuses of the Immortal Sect, their cultivation talent is many times stronger than yours and their futures are bright. Liang Lu, are you really choosing Jiang Cheng?”

Because of Consort Li, Liang Lu’s criteria for choosing a spouse had formed quite early.

She wasn’t interested in the vanity of fame and fortune. Didn’t Consort Li suffer enough because of it?

Liang Lu’s first choice was Lin Yao, mainly because, compared to Jiang Cheng, she was more familiar with Lin Yao. But Lin Yao was clearly not suitable, and she didn’t emotionally favor female cultivators anyway, so Jiang Cheng it was.

Mo Ningdan was surprised by Liang Lu’s choice, considering Jiang Cheng’s current status could definitely not compare to the long-famed geniuses of the Immortal Sect. However, Liang Lu still chose Jiang Cheng.

Li Qingge, on the other hand, seemed prescient. She understood Jiang Cheng too well, even as a Core Formation cultivator, she favored him greatly, so Liang Lu’s initial dislike was suspicious.

Li Qingge asserted, “Liang Lu, you undeniably have romantic feelings for Jiang Cheng. Not just any, but quite a lot.”

Mo Ningdan nodded in agreement.

Liang Lu: How come I don’t know that I like Jiang Cheng?

But seeing the certainty in the seniors’ expressions, she said a bit unsurely, “Is that so?”

“Of course, but you are still young, it is very normal to be easily moved by emotions. Most female cultivators’ feelings are just a momentary impulse, they can’t last, and you are no exception. Once you truly understand Jiang Cheng and see his true face, I believe you will naturally not like him that much.” Li Qingge spoke with experienced and well-reasoned advice.

“Uh, what should I do then?”

“Look. I will expose Jiang Cheng’s flaws; you just watch.”

“Alright.” Since the senior said so, Liang Lu naturally had no objections.

With the groundwork laid for Liang Lu, Li Qingge went off to prepare for the “exposure” of Jiang Cheng.

Mo Ningdan did not stay in the activity room either, walking out together with Li Qingge.

On the way, Mo Ningdan curiously asked, “Li, as far as I know, you shouldn’t have any romantic experience, right? How could you spot Liang Lu’s discrepancy at a glance and analyze it so deeply for her?”

Most of the cultivators in the Taixu Sect had no romantic experiences.

Mo Ningdan and Li Qingge were no exceptions.

That’s why Mo Ningdan didn’t understand how Li Qingge could be so skilled in matters of the heart.

“It’s learned naturally.”

“Learned? How? Does the Taixu Sect also teach about emotions? Why don’t I know about this?”

“Mo, when you underwent Core Formation, did you ever read the Core Formation Enlightenment written by the seniors of our sect?”

“Of course, I did.”

The “Enlightenment” books in the Immortal Sect are numerous, which can help many junior cultivators avoid detours; they are considered an essential part of the heritage of the sect.

“You just haven’t read enough,” Li Qingge critiqued, “You should go to the Scripture Pavilion and look for the popular yet not famous Core Formation Enlightenment books that are frequently borrowed. Most of them contain the romantic experiences of the seniors, they are quite enjoyable, ahem, I mean, they are of high quality and very helpful for Core Formation.”

“I see.”

Mo Ningdan suddenly understood; she had never thought that one could learn knowledge in such a way.
