Chapter 466 The Unlucky Female Supporting Character in a Metaphysical Novel 43
In the original storyline, Pei Lin felt somewhat regretful about this.
Yu You, this master of metaphysics, has taken spiritual energy to an extreme, making any flowers and plants she grows thrive and live very well.
The two complement each other to a certain extent, and they seem like a match made in heaven.
But right now, Pei Lin doesn't really care about that. If they can't survive, then they can't. It's not like he has to grow flowers. Besides, it's not like he can't afford a gardener.
Grandma Pei said irritably, "You used to want to raise them but they couldn't survive, now you just don't want to raise them anymore."
"When I was a child, I would shed a few tears if I killed a flower. Now, I either complain that the flower doesn't smell good or that it's not pretty enough."
"I went to great lengths to bring back some flowers that have a unique fragrance and are stunningly beautiful for you to admire, but you still insist that they are not the kind you like."
"Then tell me what kind of breed you like?"
Yun Qing looked at Pei Lin with curiosity. She really didn't expect him to be such a picky person. She had never seen him so picky when looking for a wife.
Pei Lin coughed lightly under Yun Qing's gaze and explained, "Grandma, I really didn't mean to pick a fight. I just think your flowers are a little lacking."
Grandma Pei gave her a "Isn't this just picking a fight?" look and snorted, "Those flowers were so angry because they sensed your disdain that they died. Of course you couldn't keep them alive!"
"I suspect that you are in love but cannot have him, and that love has turned into hatred, making you unable to find beauty in flowers."
Pei Lin: ...What is all this about? I can't even have a potted plant and then hate it because of that love?
Grandma Pei said earnestly, "Ah Lin, you have a wife now, so you need to be gentle and patient. Take good care of this flower and work on your patience."
"Qingqing, you are in charge of supervising him. If he doesn't take good care of himself, you should tell Grandma."
Pei Lin: ...I really can't keep them alive! This has nothing to do with patience, okay?
Seeing that Pei Lin was truly in a dilemma, Yun Qing raised her hand and said, "It's okay, I'll raise him!"
Grandma Pei held her hand and said, "Qingqing, don't spoil him."
"But..." What if it really dies? Will Rinrin get a beating?
Grandma Pei patted her hand and said kindly, "Alright, Grandma was just joking."
"These flowers are beautiful, but they're too delicate. Grandma doesn't expect him to be able to take care of them himself, but she didn't say he couldn't hire a gardener!"
As Grandma Pei pulled Yunqing into the house, she said, "Grandma has many beautiful flowers here. If you like flowers, you can come to the old house during your holidays. You can also take any you like."
Pei's father glanced at Pei Lin, who was standing there holding a flowerpot, and said with a gloating expression, "Kid, how are you? Feeling disappointed? Feeling the sudden change in your status?"
Pei Lin raised an eyelid, glanced at him disdainfully, and told the bodyguard to carry the gift up. He then quickly followed and walked beside Yun Qing.
He held a flowerpot in one hand and let the other hang by his side. As he walked, he seemingly casually touched Yun Qing's hand.
Yun Qing was still talking to her grandmother, but she casually hooked her finger around his.
Unconscious little gestures reveal unspoken understanding and intimacy.
Pei Lin glanced back at his father without saying a word, but his expression was full of sarcasm.
Mr. Pei: !!!
He grabbed Pei's mother's arm, "Wife, look at him!"
Mrs. Pei: ...Childish!
Although time was tight, the Pei family had clearly put a lot of effort into decorating the house.
Yun Qing was very touched, especially by the delicious food on the table, all of which were her favorite dishes.
Yun Qing was extremely happy with her meal.
Grandma Pei was also very happy. She liked children who ate well. Seeing that their appetite had improved, she ate an extra half bowl of rice herself.
Then, Mr. Pei ate two more bowls, and Mrs. Pei ate one more bowl...
Everyone ate more than usual.
So, in the end, the impression that the Pei family left on Yun Qing was not only that they were warm and easy to get along with, but also that they had good appetites and ate heartily!
This was exactly what Yun Qing wanted, and it even made her feel like they were family, making her feel more relaxed and closer to them.
Because Yun Qing had classes in the afternoon, Pei Lin originally planned to rest for a while after lunch before sending her back to school.
As a result, Grandma Pei received a call from her old friend, saying that the master she was on good terms with had returned.
Because Grandma Pei had previously asked her about metaphysics, she wondered if Grandma Pei needed any information. Since the master happened to have some free time, she wanted to ask if she wanted to meet her.
Grandma Pei looked at Pei Lin.
She had her reservations. Although she really hoped that a master could help resolve the issue of Pei Lin's destiny being coveted, she was also afraid of inviting trouble and encountering a master with wicked intentions.
Others clearly share the same concerns.
After all, the impression that Master Yu You left on them was really not good.
Finally, Pei Lin spoke up: "Let's meet."
Now, not only Yu You and that master know about his destiny, but even the sorcerer knows. It wouldn't matter if one more master knew.
Moreover, my grandmother mentioned that the master could represent the country's metaphysical forces to some extent, so it would be good to meet him.
It's not appropriate for the whole family to go see the master.
Pei Lin himself is definitely going, and Yun Qing is worried and wants to go with him.
Grandma Pei thought for a moment and then suggested that Mr. Pei go with them as well.
Although Mr. Pei may seem a bit naive now, he was the previous head of the Pei family and was quite shrewd.
Grandma Pei's old friend had made arrangements with the master, but she only said that her friend's grandson had some problems and wanted to consult the master, without saying anything else.
Of course, she didn't know the specifics of what happened.
She didn't press Grandma Pei for details, as such matters involve privacy to some extent.
So, when the master saw Pei Lin, he was somewhat surprised, "Young Master Pei? You can even encounter supernatural events?"
Upon hearing this, Pei Lin knew that the master had already seen through his destiny, but the tone and address...
"Does the master know me?"
This master didn't look like the kind of otherworldly, ethereal being, but he gave off a very free and easy vibe, and he spoke frankly and directly.
"How could I not recognize the Purple Aura Destiny?"
“When you were little, a few of us old guys went to see you, just to see something special.”
Pei Lin: ...
So my destiny is not a secret at all?
But upon closer reflection, it makes sense.
Since his destiny is so extraordinary, it makes no sense that he has lived for more than 20 years without any metaphysical masters noticing it, and only this young man, Yu You, has seen it.
So in reality, the truly capable masters all saw it, but those genuine masters, with their clear minds, only glanced at it with curiosity, without coveting it or disturbing it.
Only Yu You had her eye on his destiny, constantly trying to get close to him and doing everything she could to be near him.
Seeing that the master seemed reliable, Yun Qing couldn't help but ask, "Master, is there a way to resolve his fate of being noble but easily broken?"
Although she could help him deplete the purple energy, she was also worried. What if one day she didn't have time to help him deplete it, or if her bottomless pit was filled one day and she couldn't continue to help him deplete the purple energy?
The master asked in bewilderment, "What do you mean by a noble fate that is easily broken? Who told you that?"
Yun Qing was a little confused. "Yu You said it! He said that his noble destiny is easily broken, and his lifespan may be shortened because the purple energy will grow incessantly, putting an increasingly heavy burden on him. He will need to consume the purple energy to survive."
The master slammed his fist on the table and said, "Nonsense! He was born with good fortune; there's no such thing as a noble destiny that's easily broken."
Pei Lin lowered his eyes guiltily. He had indeed lied back then, but fortunately, Yu You was there to take the blame. Qingqing probably wouldn't have expected this...
He had barely finished thinking when Yun Qing glared at him.
Because Yun Qing clearly remembered that he had already told Yu You this before she told him that life is precious but easily broken!
