Chapter 1193: Incoherent
"Really?" Li Xiangmei was skeptical, but deep down, she still lacked confidence.
However, one thing was certain: in terms of lifestyle, she was no match for Xiaoqing, and in social interactions, she was also inferior; so what Xiaoqing said might be true.
No matter what is said now, it won't help; only testing can reveal the effect. So, she mustered her courage and followed Xiaoqing out to face Lin Yifan.
"Click!"
The door was opened, and Xiaoqing was the first to step out of the room, while Li Xiangmei was timid, like a bride on her wedding day, hesitant to come out.
Knowing that Li Xiangmei couldn't speak, Xiaoqing grinned and said, "Mr. Lin, we're ready."
Hearing this, Lin Yifan took a deep breath. He then turned around impatiently, ready to lecture Xiaoqing and the others, but instead saw a different Li Xiangmei.
Li Xiangmei looked truly beautiful at that moment.
Her smooth hair, sky-blue dress, sexy stockings, tall figure, budding smile, youthful face—each element struck his heart.
Instantly, he swallowed back the words that were at his throat and dared not say anything more.
"Ahem!"
"Uh... well... Shall we go?"
Lin Yifan didn't want to say much because he understood what Li Xiangmei's makeover meant.
However, he had a girlfriend and couldn't step over the line.
Seeing Lin Yifan looking embarrassed and tongue-tied, Xiaoqing and Li Xiangmei couldn't help but chuckle.
It seemed that Lin Yifan was indeed moved, just too shy to admit it.
"Why did Mr. Lin look away after just one glance at Xiangmei? Was he dazzled by Xiangmei's beauty?" Xiaoqing asked curiously.
"That's not it; it's just that time is pressing, and we have to leave," Lin Yifan explained.
"Oh? Then what does Mr. Lin think of Xiangmei's outfit?"
Xiaoqing pursued the question, evidently not wanting Lin Yifan to evade this awkward situation.
Lin Yifan sneaked a glance at Li Xiangmei and replied, "Much younger than before, seems cuter and more lively."
"Does Mr. Lin prefer Xiangmei's previous look or this one?" Xiaoqing continued.
"I like both," Lin Yifan replied, not wanting to fall into the trap.
"You can only choose one."
"Her truest self," Lin Yifan answered honestly.
Although Li Xiangmei was very tempting now, he still preferred the real Li Xiangmei because true qualities are the most precious.
A warm feeling surged in Li Xiangmei's heart, feeling very touched. Lin Yifan wasn't swayed by appearances, indicating he was a true gentleman, worthy of lifelong trust.
"Seems like Mr. Lin is quite eloquent! But I always believed Mr. Lin is introverted and surely likes Xiangmei in this state."
Xiaoqing's words exposed Lin Yifan's insincerity, leaving him unable to hide.
"No way! What I said were all sincere words."
Lin Yifan was utterly speechless, not expecting Xiaoqing to say that.
"Alright, stop explaining, we all know your little thoughts!"
Xiaoqing sneered. Having seen many who appeared proper but were wicked inside.
However, overall, Lin Yifan was still a good man, worthy of lifelong trust.
"Let's not talk about this topic anymore, we have little time left." Lin Yifan urged with a serious expression.
Seeing Lin Yifan earnest, Xiaoqing and Li Xiangmei promptly picked up their luggage to leave.
Noticing that Xiaoqing and Li Xiangmei's luggage was quite a lot and seemed to be weighing them down, Lin Yifan, being a man, couldn't just stand by. He quickly went over to take two large suitcases, saying, "Let me help you!"
"Mr. Lin is indeed a gentleman; whoever marries you will surely be very happy. Right, Xiangmei?"
While praising Lin Yifan, Xiaoqing also winked at Li Xiangmei, hinting for her to respond.
"Yes! Yes!"
This was Li Xiangmei's true feeling; knowing it was a trap, she still jumped in.
"Haha! I'm not as good as you imagine, aren't I now in deep trouble, running for my life?"
Lin Yifan chuckled bitterly. Outsiders unaware of his situation thought he was perfect, while indeed he faced life-threatening challenges at every moment, risking losing everything if careless.
"That's just temporary, I believe Mr. Lin will become much stronger and unrivaled." Xiaoqing comforted Lin Yifan, brimming with confidence in him.
Although she didn't know much about this world, she stayed convinced that Lin Yifan was the strongest.
"I think so too. Mr. Lin will surely stride over these hurdles." Li Xiangmei was also filled with confidence in Lin Yifan.
"Let's hope so!"
Lin Yifan thought the same but needed time, hoping that during his path to becoming the strongest, unforeseen events wouldn't occur.
Opportunity lost won't return; Lin Yifan didn't waste any more time and immediately dragged the two large suitcases, taking Li Xiangmei and Xiaoqing downstairs.
His speed was incredible, even without luggage, both Li Xiangmei and Xiaoqing couldn't keep up, phenomenal.
Li Xiangmei and Xiaoqing were utterly amazed while rushing downstairs. Lin Yifan was indeed a remarkable man, extraordinarily strong, swiftly carrying two heavy suitcases, making them admire him even more.
The fifth-floor height descended within seconds, faster than an elevator.
Lin Yifan focused on running, almost forgetting Li Xiangmei and Xiaoqing behind him, waiting by the stairs when they emerged.
After about ten seconds, Li Xiangmei and Xiaoqing came down, panting vigorously.
They were sweating and exhausted.
"Why are you so slow?" Lin Yifan was somewhat dissatisfied, feeling these two women were dragging.
"Mr. Lin, it's not us being slow, but you walking too fast." Xiaoqing replied while catching her breath.
"True!"
It can't be blamed on Li Xiangmei and Xiaoqing, as they were not cultivators and were indeed weaker women, undoubtedly slower than him.
However, a problem arose; if they continued at this pace, they would certainly be caught by high-ranking members of the Wudang Sect and Kunlun Sect, which would spell their end.
Lin Yifan thought these two large suitcases were troublesome, needing to be discarded or hidden in the Immortal Ring.
But surely the suitcases contained valuable belongings of Li Xiangmei and Xiaoqing; if thrown away, they'd object, and he didn't want to force anyone, so the best method was to hide them in the Immortal Ring.
However, in such a public place, he dared not use it, fearing rumors spreading, leading prominent figures from various sects to assume he had obtained the Immortal Ring, potentially causing a siege on Medicinal Saint Valley, which couldn't protect him.
