Qin Yu watched that dazzling scene of mutual affection, and then thought, Lu Cheng had already snatched his Senior Sister!
And now, he's even hooked up with such a pure and lovely angelic sister outside?
He subconsciously glanced again at that gaudy, fluorescent green tortoise-shell electric scooter... Damn it!
Lu Cheng, this dog!
Not only did he steal my woman, but he also humiliated me in this way!
This is intolerable!
Just as his anger flared, and he was about to rush up and confront Lu Cheng, or even get physical.
A thought, like a flash of lightning, suddenly streaked across his not-so-bright mind!
Wait a minute!
What if this crying little beauty really is Lu Cheng's biological sister?
Or some cousin, or other relative?
If he rushed up now and beat up her brother without knowing the full story... then he could forget about pursuing her later, right? It's better to resolve conflicts than to create them, so he should wait!
If she really is Lu Cheng's sister, then he becoming her brother-in-law... seems... not impossible?
It's like adding more intimacy to the relationship, hehehe!
He decided to first use his Senior Sister to threaten Lu Cheng, this philanderer.
If he didn't want trouble at home, he'd better give him some benefits!
Thinking of this, Qin Yu cleared his throat, trying to make himself appear righteous and more in the right.
Facing Lu Cheng, who was gently comforting Xia Qinghe in his arms, he loudly questioned him with a tone full of righteousness:
"You surnamed Lu!"
"In broad daylight, under the clear sky! You're holding a young girl and being all lovey-dovey!"
"Does my Senior Sister Qingyan know about this?"
"Today, you must give me an explanation! And you must give my Senior Sister an explanation!"
He spoke with such righteous indignation, as if he truly were a good junior brother, speaking up for his Senior Sister.
Lu Cheng gently patted the shoulder of the little darling in his arms, signaling her to relax.
Then, he slowly raised his head, as if he had just noticed Qin Yu.
His expression changed from surprise and doubt to a gentle, friendly, and helpless smile.
"Oh? Isn't this Junior Brother Qin Yu?"
"So it was you just now! If it weren't for your help, the consequences would have been unimaginable."
He brushed off Qin Yu's questioning in just a few words, and... Qin Yu, unexpectedly praised by Lu Cheng, felt that little bit of smugness from being a hero saving a beauty resurface uncontrollably.
But he still tried to keep a straight face, attempting to maintain the solemnity of his inquiry.
"Hmph! To help when injustice is seen, to draw one's sword to aid, that is the duty of us martial artists!
"What I'm asking you is, what do you mean by holding this girl now?"
"Today, you must give me a satisfactory explanation!"
Lu Cheng's smile remained, and his tone was unhurried.
"Hehe, Junior Brother Qin Yu, don't be so anxious."
"Regarding your Senior Sister, our private matters as a couple, Junior Brother doesn't need to worry. I believe Qingyan will understand me."
His tone suddenly shifted, revealing a hint of admiration and regret.
"It's you, Junior Brother Qin Yu."
"I just saw you act with extraordinary skill, your moves were powerful and strong, truly a young hero!"
"To be honest, having you help deliver medicine at Returning Spring Hall is indeed a bit of a waste of your talent."
Lu Cheng looked at his proud expression, where he was clearly pleased but still trying to feign 'anger', and chuckled inwardly.
"I see Junior Brother is no longer young; you can't always be alone, can you?"
"Junior Brother must also hope to establish a career in this Demon City, or find a compatible partner, right?"
Lu Cheng began to subtly guide the conversation, probing Qin Yu's deepest and strongest core desire - that's right! It was women!
When Qin Yu heard the words "partner," his eyes, which had initially held some wariness and dissatisfaction, instantly lit up!
He cleared his throat, just about to follow Lu Cheng's lead and talk about his grand ideals... but Lu Cheng seemed to have seen through his thoughts and said with utmost sincerity:
"Junior Brother Qin Yu, to be frank, I, Lu, have some connections in Demon City."
"Coincidentally, I know a few young ladies from top noble families."
"They are all gentle and lovely, talented and beautiful."
"And most importantly..."
He deliberately paused, lowered his voice, and adopted a tone that was both mysterious and seductive.
"They are used to seeing those slick, effeminate high-society elites every day and are completely fed up with them!"
"Now, they particularly admire and worship heroes like Junior Brother, who are full of masculine vigor!"
"I was thinking, why don't we arrange for you to meet and become friends?"
"Who knows, it might lead to a good match."
"Junior Brother Qin Yu, what do you think?"
Lu Cheng's words were incredibly sincere!
He perfectly packaged his tempting trap as a matchmaking opportunity for heroes and beauties!
It precisely targeted Qin Yu's true nature!
Noble young ladies!
Gentle and lovely!
Talented and beautiful!
And they only like heroes like him?
This was practically tailor-made for Qin Yu!
Lu Cheng, this kid, at least he has some filial piety!
Sure enough, he still had to threaten him with his Senior Sister; this guy was afraid of trouble at home after all!
In his mind, he began to uncontrollably fantasize about a beautiful future life... The angelic sister in front of him, though indeed pretty.
But she was involved with Lu Cheng, who knew... Sigh, it's not that you're not good enough, little sister, it's that I have high standards!
Noble young ladies of Demon City, here comes I, Qin Yu!
He secretly plotted in his mind that after he had conquered the young ladies of those great families, he would return to deal with this philandering Lu Cheng, who was two-timing.
On the surface, however, he still tried to act reserved, not wanting to appear too eager.
He feigned reluctance, pondered for a moment, and then said in a tone that expressed a bit of awkward refusal:
"Ahem, well, Brother-in-law. Since you've said so, and it's out of good intentions, then I'll respectfully accept!"
"Everything will be arranged by Brother-in-law!"
Just then!
A cool and capable figure, with elegant and composed steps, arrived beside Lu Cheng.
It was Ye Shuying, who had just recovered from the emotional 'remote argument' with the Dragon King.
She had to force herself to get used to this life of wearing a mask and switching between different roles.
"Mr. Lu, what are your orders?"
Lu Cheng looked with satisfaction at the fantasizing Qin Yu, and then at the respectfully listening Ye Shuying in front of him.
An idea formed in his mind for a plan that would allow him to once again reap the benefits.
"Shuying."
"This is my Junior Brother Qin Yu, a martial arts master!
"But he's new here and not very familiar with our Demon City."
"I have an address here; you can personally take Qin Yu to visit later."
"Be sure to tell them that Qin Yu is my Junior Brother, of noble status, and that they should treat him well and not show any neglect!"
He arranged this directly in front of Qin Yu, which further emphasized his regard for Qin Yu.
It also made Qin Yu instantly develop some... well, unrealistic fantasies about this stunning assistant.
"Hehehe... Even the pretty boy's assistant is so beautiful!"
"Then those noble young ladies he introduced, aren't they all like celestial beings descended to earth?"
Ye Shuying was slightly stunned when she heard Lu Cheng's instructions.
She didn't know what this old fox Lu Cheng was up to now.
Making her a matchmaker... or rather... a madam?
Was he really treating her as an errand runner and driver?
However... she then thought, Lu Cheng specifically emphasized that this person was his Junior Brother?
Could it be a hidden master he invited to deal with the Dragon King?
She must convey this to the Dragon King as soon as possible!
Thinking of this, although Ye Shuying's heart was still full of doubt and vigilance.
But as a professional personal assistant, she bowed to Lu Cheng and replied:
"Okay, Mr. Lu, don't worry."
"They definitely won't neglect Mr. Qin Yu!"
