Chapter 53 - Love-struck, Qin Linglong!

This guy was unlike ordinary Heavenly Prodigies. His imagination ran wild, and he never feared making a scene.

No matter the situation, he loved to exaggerate and embellish, as if afraid people wouldn't take things seriously enough.

Truth be told, he was also a villain in the original story, though he had a decent relationship with Fang Chen.

In the novel, his troublemaking nature led him to repeatedly clash with Xiao Yunting, ultimately resulting in his death at Xiao Yunting's hands.

"I'm the troublemaker? I, the Nine Suns Holy Son, am so handsome and dashing, so elegant and refined. How could I possibly be a troublemaker?" the Nine Suns Holy Son protested indignantly.

*Can this guy not speak properly?*

*He calls me a troublemaker the moment he opens his mouth. How polite!*

*Besides, I'm helping Fang Chen here.*

*And I'm also helping everyone else, keeping them fired up.*

*If I didn't, these guys would take half a day to start fighting. That would be so boring.*

Fang Chen ignored him and headed toward the pavilion, too lazy to deal with these people.

Though fights were inevitable at the Heavenly Prodigy Holy Assembly, this was still a formal gathering. The real clashes should come later.

Besides, these people weren't worth his attention. It would be completely uninteresting.

"You haven't changed at all. Still as boring as ever."

Seeing Fang Chen ignore him, the Nine Suns Holy Son also grew bored and followed him into the pavilion.

Seeing Fang Chen enter, the others naturally followed.

Soon, only the Snow Clan Holy Son Xue Jinglun and the Giant Eagle Clan Holy Son Ying Tianxiao remained, staring at each other, unsure whether to fight or not.

But when they realized everyone else had left, they both snorted coldly and followed into the pavilion.

As Fang Chen entered, a petite lolita blinked at him.

"You're the Cloud Heaven Holy Son, Fang Chen?"

"You don't look anything special. Just two eyes, a nose, and a mouth..." Qin Linglong said with disappointment as she sized him up.

Is this the love-struck Qin Linglong?

It must be her. Qin Tianming only has one sister, and she seems so endearingly silly.

She's not just *seemingly* silly, she's genuinely stupid!

She's cute, looks like a born-and-bred little lolita, but sadly, her brain doesn't work right.

Later, she'll ruin Qin Tianming's foundation for Xiao Yunting's sake, and even then, his cultivation will struggle to improve!

Qin Tianming spoils this sister too much. If I were him, I'd have sacrificed such a foolish sister to the heavens long ago!

Why keep such a sister around for the New Year? Sacrifice her to the heavens!

Fang Chen frowned slightly, thinking to himself.

He was well acquainted with Qin Linglong.

She was a rather peculiar heroine, a foolishly adorable *loli*.

Of course, she wasn't very old yet and still looked quite young. But even as she grew older, she deliberately refused to mature, all to maintain the impression she had made on Xiao Yunting. This made Fang Chen utterly speechless.

Qin Linglong was the epitome of a love-struck fool.

Ever since she fell for Xiao Yunting, everything revolved around him.

With her already limited intelligence, her love-struck nature left her completely brainless.

She had even tricked Qin Tianming several times, once nearly costing him his foundation.

Despite this, Qin Tianming didn't blame Qin Linglong too harshly.

It was only because Qin Tianming doted on his sister that he didn't punish her.

If it were Fang Chen, he would have abandoned her long ago.

*Who would keep such a troublesome sister?*

*Keeping her around would be like asking for death.*

Hearing these voices, Qin Linglong's head buzzed, her eyes widened, and a wave of anger surged through her.

*"Love-struck fool?"*

*"What's a 'love-struck fool'?"*

*"And how could I possibly harm my imperial brother for someone I don't even know?"*

That was right!

She didn't know any Xiao Yunting at all.

*This guy is completely slandering me.*

*But why can I hear his inner thoughts?*

Qin Linglong was filled with confusion.

Beside her, Hua Mengying's beautiful eyes flickered as she listened to Fang Chen's inner thoughts. She had long grown accustomed to hearing them.

When she heard Fang Chen's thoughts, her gaze flickered. It seemed she wasn't the only one who could hear his inner voice.

*Could this Qin Linglong also be one of the female protagonists of this book?*

After spending so much time with Fang Chen and hearing so many of his inner thoughts, Hua Mengying had formed a general understanding of the situation.

At first, Hua Mengying had found the whole idea absurd and completely unbelievable.

But everything that followed had confirmed Fang Chen's inner thoughts.

It was as if Fang Chen knew exactly how the plot was supposed to unfold, which Hua Mengying found endlessly fascinating.

She felt that following Fang Chen was the wisest decision she had ever made.

*If Qin Linglong can hear Fang Chen's inner thoughts, that means she's also a female protagonist. Does this imply that Lin Luowei can hear them too?*

*In other words, Lin Luowei has known all along that Fang Chen was calling her a brainless woman in his heart.*

As these thoughts crossed her mind, Hua Mengying couldn't help but smile, finding the whole situation utterly amusing.

*If Lin Luowei knew Fang Chen's true feelings from the start, why didn't she say anything?*

*No wonder Lin Luowei ignored Xiao Yunting—so that was the reason.*

With this realization, many things suddenly became clear to Hua Mengying.

Seeing Qin Linglong about to speak, Hua Mengying was about to intervene.

Just then, Qin Tianming stepped forward and said, "Fang Chen, this is my younger sister, Qin Linglong. She's young and doesn't know better, and her words aren't always careful. Please forgive her if she's offended you in any way."

Qin Tianming's attitude was quite good. Knowing his sister's nature well, he had specifically stepped forward to warn Fang Chen.

"It's nothing. The child's quite cute," Fang Chen said with a smile, even patting Qin Linglong on the head.

Just a little terror, everyone knows it!

But this Qin Linglong isn't just any terror. Poor Qin Tianming's in for it!

Still, best to stay away from this little terror. She might not mean harm, but her actions are just so annoying and unreasonable!

"Who are you calling a brat? Spit it out!"

Qin Linglong was about to explode. She had never heard anyone dare to speak to her like this. Calling her a love-struck fool was one thing, but calling her a brat? It was a blatant insult!

She was so furious she wanted to bite Fang Chen to death right then and there, if her imperial brother hadn't been present.

Qin Linglong was burning with anger, her fists clenched, itching to strike.

Fang Chen remained unfazed by her furious expression.

*This is exactly what a brat acts like,* he thought, nodding inwardly.

Seeing Fang Chen about to call her a brat again, Qin Linglong lost her composure.

She stepped forward to retort, but Hua Mengying suddenly appeared, her face beaming. "Princess Linglong, it's a pleasure to meet you. My name is Hua Mengying. Have you heard of me?"

Qin Linglong glanced at Hua Mengying with haughty disdain and snorted. "Everyone in the world knows that I recently became Fang Chen's follower. How could I not know of you?"

Because of Fang Chen, Qin Linglong showed Hua Mengying no warmth.
