Why are the Talismans I Drawn Banned Again?!

Chapter 297: Chapter 236: Dayan Sect Recruitment_3
Liang Lu looked at the two seniors who were talking to themselves, the whole time with a baffled expression.

She felt that Jiang Cheng’s behavior was rather normal, even though he was dining with several female cultivators, but it was just eating, nothing inappropriate.

Besides, she and Jiang Cheng weren’t in that kind of relationship, so there was no reason for her to be mad at him.

If anything, Jiang Cheng was behaving quite well. If it had been her father, the Emperor, or her imperial brothers, who knows what ridiculous things they would have done.

In her eyes, Jiang Cheng was the very model of virtue, the bright side of human nature shining through.

So why get angry?

She just couldn’t figure it out.

Having failed with one plan, Li Qingge quickly hatched another.

Since Liang Lu didn’t mind Jiang Cheng being close with others, then let her experience firsthand the dangers of such behavior!

You don’t care about Jiang Cheng paying attention to others now, but when you’re wronged and seek his help, and not only does he not help you but actually takes sides with someone else, then see if you’ll mind.

Li Qingge silently imagined that scene, and it was almost enough to anger herself to death.

Since it was a buffet restaurant and the dishes were free to take, in order to carry out her plan, Li Qingge deliberately took a plate of the limited-supply cooked steak and handed it to Liang Lu.

“Liang Lu, later, take this steak and find Jiang Cheng,” she said.

“Oh, and then what?”

“You’ll pretend to bump into him by chance and offer him a taste of the limited steak. Leave the rest to me, got it?”

“Okay.”

Liang Lu obediently did as she was told, and walked over to Jiang Cheng with the steak.

Mo Ningdan asked, “Li, what are you planning to do?”

“I’m simply testing the waters. I’ll have Liang Lu accidentally drop the plate, then we’ll see how Jiang Cheng reacts. If Jiang Cheng shows even a slight bias towards the other female cultivators, I believe Liang Lu will definitely give up on him,” she replied.

“I see.”

Mo Ningdan felt it was a little childish, but considering the volumes of Core Formation Enlightenment Li Qingge had seen, she believed there must be reasoning behind Li Qingge’s actions that she just didn’t understand yet.

Meanwhile, Liang Lu, holding the plate, walked over.

Yue Linger was the first to see Liang Lu and said in surprise, “Liang Lu? What a coincidence?”

Just as Liang Lu was about to respond, the plate in her hand suddenly slipped and, for some reason, flew out of her hand towards the ground.

In that critical moment, Liu Qing indifferently put down his chopsticks.

The steak and the plate, which had been in free fall, abruptly stopped, suspended in the air.

Liang Lu, Yue Linger, and Shen Menghan were all taken aback, their eyes widening in astonishment at the steak’s eerie suspension, which promptly caught the attention of nearby diners.

Object Suspension is not something a Qi Cultivation Stage cultivator could perform.

It requires terrifying control over the surrounding spiritual energy, accomplished without uttering a word, chanting spells, or using any visible magic.

The more one knew, the more extraordinary it seemed.

Jiang Cheng, upon seeing this, felt his scalp tingle. He didn’t need to think to know who was exerting the power.

Madam, please retract your Divine Skills!

Exposing your identity over a plate of steak, isn’t that a bit hasty?

At this point, Jiang Cheng couldn’t care less; he immediately grabbed Liu Qing’s hand and yanked her up from her seat.

Distracted by Jiang Cheng, Liu Qing forgot about the steak and stared at him blankly.

Taking Liu Qing by the hand, Jiang Cheng said to Liang Lu, “Liang, you came to eat as well? There happens to be a free place with us inside; come sit in our section. Waiter, could you please clean up the plates on the floor? It was my fault they broke. My apologies, I’ll compensate for them at the original price when I settle my bill.”

In the gaze of everyone around, Liang Lu found herself somewhat confusedly sitting at Jiang Cheng’s table.

Yet, she could find no flaw in Jiang Cheng’s recent actions.

Although she had accidentally dropped the plate, Jiang Cheng had helped preserve her dignity and invited her to sit down and get acquainted with the others. He had seamlessly resolved what would have been an awkward situation without leaving any trace.

Liang Lu had only known Jiang Cheng for his Talismans before, but after today’s interactions, she realized that his merits extended far beyond just Talismans.

Jiang Cheng was indeed a very outstanding male cultivator.

On the other side, Li Qingge and Mo Ningdan looked serious.

Li Qingge said, “Mo, that piece of meat, it suspended in the air for a moment, didn’t it?”

“Mm-hm. But I didn’t detect any Core Formation aura. Could it be that in the Capital City, there’s a Nascent Soul we are unaware of?”

“It might be the Demonic Tao making a comeback. This time it’s a Nascent Soul Stage from the Demonic Path; they are not to be underestimated. We must quickly report this to the Helmsman.”

“What about Liang Lu?”

“You keep an eye on her in secret.”

“Right.”
