Love letters are not allowed in the exorcism notebook!-Chapter 683 - 106 I Want to Play for Real but You Dare Not
Leng Nian knows a lot, but what he knows, he doesn’t necessarily spit out honestly.
Even the truths he does tell might not be reliable because, after all, sometimes truth can be misleading.
This isn’t like a game NPC with an exclamation mark above their head, where you interact a bit, and they slap the key clue onto your face.
How to interrogate him and what can be extracted from him, it’s a very complex and professional matter.
Wang Yunxiao originally planned to pry some information from his mouth, but was distracted by his mention of "anchored object."
He didn’t know what an anchored object was, but the phrase reminded him, had he successfully anchored once when those female demons suppressed him just now?
After all, without a chat history to look back on, he wasn’t sure if that successful anchoring was just an auditory hallucination.
He had always failed to anchor in the past, so he had grown accustomed to failure.
A sudden success caught him off guard.
What are the standards to judge whether the anchoring is successful or not?
What happens if it succeeds? And what if it fails?
Without anything to compare it to, Wang Yunxiao could only guess wildly.
He always thought that anchoring failure meant that his system hadn’t gone online.
Now that he finally anchored successfully once, where’s the system?
Seems like I thought too much...
Wang Yunxiao calmed down and contemplated carefully, thinking there were two possibilities.
One possibility is that the combined moves of those three female demons were so overpowered that they either caused some bug or fixed some pre-existing bug.
The second possibility is that after he advanced to Iron Sparrowhawk, his self-cognition changed.
Teacher Liu once said that all issues related to the Twelve Laws can be boiled down to cognition problems.
The essence of the Twelve Laws is not about immortal cultivation, demon cultivation, inner cultivation of True Qi, or external practice of magic... those are just appearances, the core essence is cognition cultivation.
And Wang Yunxiao had some understanding of the concept of "anchoring."
Simply put, it’s about solidifying cognition.
The big shots at the Special Service Bureau particularly like using Journey to the West as a template to explain cognition problems related to the Temporal Tide.
Journey to the West must have a monkey; that’s the most basic cognition.
Wife cakes don’t necessarily need to contain a wife, but we all assume a fox spirit refers to a female fox.
This matter... should probably consult an expert later.
Can’t just make wild guesses.
Wang Yunxiao instinctively felt that the problem wasn’t that simple.
His intuition was always very sharp.
The auction concluded, the Imperial Jade Seal got a new owner, and naturally, there was no need to stay at the Wu Family.
Old Master He took the head disciple and Wang Yunxiao to clean the Wu Family from top to bottom that very night.
It was not just about cleaning up loose ends; the Wu Family’s own wealth was also considerable.
Many people who seem impoverished on the surface might have their refrigerators stuffed with money behind closed doors.
The Wu Family was not so impoverished either.
As for the Wu Family members, of course, they were set free, had some soul-bewitching soup, went to bed for a good night’s rest, and when they woke up the next day feeling groggy, they might not remember anything.
He Lan still wanted to drag Wang Yunxiao to sleep in a hotel outside, but Wang Yunxiao sternly refused.
"My husband, as the saying goes, a night of marriage means a hundred days of grace..."
"I’m no longer your husband now."
"Just deny everything after pulling up your pants, what kind of man are you?"
That’s why you can’t reason with a woman; when her emotions flare up, it’s useless to talk to her.
Wang Yunxiao pressed down on He Lan’s shoulder and said seriously, "You wanted to be the lesser wife, right? Then wait till I marry the first wife, and then I’ll come for you."
"Is that something a human would say?"
He Lan almost laughed out of exasperation: "So you don’t consider me a person at all, you have to treat me this badly?"
"Yes, you’ll realize after spending more time with me, that’s just the kind of person I am."
Wang Yunxiao’s tone was firm, like he was trying to cut off He Lan’s hopes.
It is said that a clingy man can scare off a good woman, but it’s true that men can also be afraid.
No matter how strong his will, he couldn’t stand He Lan being so tenderly persistent every day.
Which decent person could withstand a well-developed, beautiful woman rubbing against you in bed every day?
I’m no saint or high monk.
In recent days, the eldest senior brother and First Ms. Liu have kept silent, pretending nothing happened. One reason is that their own daughter took the initiative, which is quite embarrassing to speak of. On the other hand, they were considering Wang Yunxiao’s pride, afraid that any wrong word might provoke his rebellious nature.
This subtle attitude might seem a bit strange to people from later generations.
But in this era, it was considered quite progressive.
In a normal household, if a daughter acted so shamelessly, she would usually be beaten to death first.
The couple has their own unspeakable dark history and has no confidence when it comes to their daughter’s marriage.
By all accounts, she would be more than enough for an ordinary family, yet He Lan had set her sights on Wang Yunxiao.
Wang Yunxiao was aware of their background and also didn’t fancy their daughter.
If you say one harsh word too many, he might just stand up and beat someone. You could only watch helplessly with no solution.
As the old saying goes, being too eager is not the way to do business.
He Lan pouted, staring at Wang Yunxiao with a look of deep sadness.
"You can’t just walk away like this. If you don’t give me an explanation, I’ll go to school to find you!"
"Weren’t you the one who said you’ll never go again?"
"I’ve changed my mind, is that not allowed?"
Wang Yunxiao thought to himself that he couldn’t be blamed then, if he didn’t show her some color, she really wouldn’t know her place.
So, he walked over and pinned He Lan against the wall.
He Lan was all talk but her body was always compliant; as soon as Wang Yunxiao made a move, she immediately panicked, shrinking her neck and not daring to make a sound.
"Sister, I’ve been enduring you for a long time now."
He Lan enjoyed having Wang Yunxiao call her Sister, but when he really whispered it next to her ear, she couldn’t bear it; a blush spread from her ears to her cheeks, her eyes flitted aimlessly, afraid to make eye contact with Wang Yunxiao.
She’s such a contradictory person, weak but loves to play.
"I’m just kidding with you..."
Despite her words, the moment Wang Yunxiao let go, she would turn her face instantly.
Wang Yunxiao had had more than enough of this these past days.
So, this time Wang Yunxiao didn’t indulge her and pressed a genuine kiss.
"..."
He Lan was pinned against the wall, limp and silent like a boneless creature, at the mercy of his handling.
She finally behaved.
"Kiss again?"
Having taken advantage, Wang Yunxiao asked in a low voice.
He Lan turned her head away and didn’t speak.
"Sister?"
"..."
"Then, I’m leaving!"
He Lan gazed at Wang Yunxiao with a deep stare: "You’ve already kissed..."
Wang Yunxiao’s gaze slowly moved down from her swollen lips to her delicate collarbone.
He Lan quickly raised her hand to cover her chest.
Subconsciously wanting to argue back, but looking into Wang Yunxiao’s eyes, all she felt was a sour and tingly sensation in her mouth, her heart seemed as if it was about to jump out, making it difficult for her to speak.
"Go... if you’re going to go then just go..."
