"It's fine- we'll talk about that later." Lin Yi laughed at himself after hearing Han Jingjing's words- he really was thinking too much. Han Jingjing couldn't even control a third level refinement fire right now, what use would it be even if she had enough qi?
"Yeah, but I'll try my best to simplify the third level refinement fire and see if I can change the intensity and temperature of the refinement fire." Han Jingjing said.
"Let's recover our qi first, and then try to mass produce second level pills. We'll see if it works." Lin Yi said.
"Alright." Han Jingjing nodded.
Lin Yi and Han Jingjing were quite familiar with each other now, and he didn't hold back. He held Han Jingjing's hand and checked her pulse, activating the second stage of the Art of Dragon Mastery to replenish her qi … …
… …
On the second floor of Lin Yi's villa, Mengyao and Yushu were lying on the bed, discussing Lin Yi and Xinyan's future plans.
"What did Xinyan mean by leaving today?" Mengyao couldn't understand why Xinyan would reject Lin Yi. Wasn't she close with Lin Yi? Mengyao nudged Shu with her foot. "Hey, aren't you Almighty Shu? Tell me, what's going on? "
"Maybe Xinyan sis's playing hard to get?" Yushu said after some thought.
"Playing hard to get? No way, right? " Mengyao frowned, rejecting the suggestion. "Can't you come up with something constructive?"
"Oh, then why aren't you with Shield Bro, Yao Yao?" Yushu asked.
"Because … Hey, this is Xinyan's problem, what does it have to do with me?" Mengyao realized that she'd almost fallen for Yushu's trick again.
"Actually, Shu thinks that Xinyan sis's the same as Yao Yao sis, shy, or maybe it's a little too sudden?" Yushu said. "Those are the only reasons! Like Yao Yao, you like Shield Bro too, but didn't you drag it out until now … … "
"Ahem … Shu, can you not change the subject?" Mengyao glared at her.
"Alright, actually the simplest way is for Sister Yaoyao to give Sister Xinyan a call. Wouldn't you know? It's better than us guessing here, right? "Yushu said.
"That's a good idea." Mengyao nodded. She picked up her phone and dialed Xinyan's number.
Ever since Xinyan hung up the call with her mother, she'd been sitting on her bed with her phone in her hand. She didn't even want to read, and she didn't want to play with her tablet either. Her heart was heavy, and it was only when her phone rang that she jumped up.
Xinyan hesitated when she saw the caller ID. Should she pick it up or not? Mengyao must be calling to ask about how he didn't respond to Lin Yi's confession, but how was he going to explain it?
It was impossible for her to tell the truth. Xinyan knew Lin Yi's personality. If she told the truth, it'd put too much pressure on Lin Yi! She knew that Lin Yi was studying pill making with Han Jingjing every day for Xiaoxiao, and the reason why he worked so hard to level up was also for Xiaoxiao!
Xiaoxiao alone was enough to put a mountain of pressure on Lin Yi, and if she was added to the mix, would he even be able to breathe?
The Ice Palace thing was still manageable. It didn't matter if Lin Yi could make the Ice Heart Jade Bone Pill they needed or not, the Ice Palace would never become Lin Yi's enemy! But the Sky Elixir Sect was different- if she told the truth, how would Lin Yi face it?
Xinyan didn't want Lin Yi to worry about these things!
After some hesitation, Xinyan pressed the call button and picked it up, "Yao Yao …"
"Xinyan, you … You don't like Lin Yi today?" Mengyao didn't know what to say, so she decided to get straight to the point.
"I … Yao Yao, I have a fiancé, so I can't be with Lin Yi." Xinyan gritted her teeth and hardened her heart.
"Fiancé? You mean Kang Zhaolong? " Mengyao knew about Xinyan and House Kang, but from her point of view, House Kang was already a thing of the past. Even the hidden House Pi, the Xiao family's backing, was now Lin Yi's follower. What else could Xinyan not agree to?
"Yeah … I have to follow my parents' orders." Xinyan said.
"So you're going to marry Zhaolong?" Mengyao was a little confused by Xinyan's words, "You don't look like someone that stubborn, do you?"
"I don't want to put my parents in a difficult position, and I'm the one who agreed to this … Yao Yao, please don't force me, I'm begging you …" Xinyan smiled bitterly.
"You … You …" Mengyao was stunned by Xinyan's words! She thought that Xinyan left because she was shy, but it seemed like that wasn't the case at all. Xinyan had other reasons that she couldn't talk about!
"Yao Yao, I told you, Lin Yi and I are just friends, really …" Xinyan's heart was bleeding when she said this. She was very sure of her feelings now! She liked Lin Yi, and she liked being with him!
Just today, when Lin Yi confessed to her, Xinyan almost said yes! Even when she walked out of the villa, Xinyan still wanted to turn around and accept Lin Yi's confession! But the last phone call from her mother extinguished Wang Xinyan's heart.
"But I can tell that Lin Yi needs you when he's training …" Mengyao wasn't willing to give up. She didn't believe that Xinyan didn't like Lin Yi! Mengyao's intuition as a woman allowed her to sense Xinyan's feelings most of the time, but she didn't know why Xinyan wouldn't admit it.
"I … I won't get married while I'm in university …" Xinyan hesitated, "Isn't it good for me and Lin Yi to be good friends during this time?"
"Good friends …" Mengyao smiled bitterly and said helplessly, "Then I'll ask you one last time. Do you like Lin Yi?"
"My … My phone's out of battery …" Xinyan quickly hung up and turned off her phone. She couldn't say something she didn't want to say, not even if she wanted to! Say that she didn't like Lin Yi? That would be lying to herself, and so Xinyan chose to avoid it.
"…" Mengyao held the phone in her hand, speechless. She didn't expect Xinyan to say this at the end!
This result meant that there was no result. She asked for nothing.
