CHAPTER 259: CHAPTER 259: IS IT WRONG TO BE HONEST?

Song Qing regained his composure, quickly asked, "Miss Lan, are you talking about the girl who just went inside with my mother and the young master?"

"No kidding!" Lan Ruo rolled her eyes at him. "Who else could it be?"

Song Qing said, "That’s Miss Shen, our lifesaver for both me and the young master."

"Lifesaver?" Lan Ruo’s eyes widened instantly. "Shouldn’t your lifesaver be an old gray-haired man or a bearded middle-aged uncle? How could it be such a delicate girl?"

Delicate?

Song Qing wanted to laugh, thinking that those three words had nothing to do with Shen Qinglan.

"Oh no, oh no!" Lan Ruo sighed. "Could it be that Song Ting is smitten because of this hero saving the beauty—no wait! Beauty saving the hero, so he has feelings for that girl?"

She looked at Song Qing and shouted, "Is he planning to offer himself to her in gratitude?"

Song Qing: ...

"How can that be?" Lan Ruo said, "Song Ting can only be mine!"

"Hey hey~ Miss Lan, don’t be impulsive!"

Seeing her about to walk towards the house after speaking, Song Qing hurriedly reached out and pulled her back.

He said, "Don’t worry, Miss Shen wouldn’t be interested in the young master."

"What do you mean by that?" Lan Ruo asked unhappily, "What’s wrong with Song Ting? He’s good-looking, has a good family background, knows pharmacology, and is well-read. Why wouldn’t she be interested?"

Song Qing: ...

He was just speaking the truth, is there something wrong with being honest?

"I didn’t mean that," Song Qing explained, "What I meant is, Miss Shen already has someone she likes, she won’t be interested in the young master!"

Now it should be clear, right?

"Isn’t that the same thing?" Lan Ruo snorted, "All you’re saying is that the young master isn’t good enough for that girl."

Isn’t that it?

Song Ting helplessly said, "Young Master Duan, you should know, right?"

"Of course, I know!" Lan Ruo nodded, "Isn’t he right in there?"

"Then compared to Young Master Duan, do you think Miss Shen would prefer our young master or Young Master Duan?"

"Well..." Lan Ruo scratched her head, hesitated, and said, "In terms of looks, Song Ting is indeed a bit lacking compared to Duan Yunfei. In terms of capability, Duan Yunfei is also stronger, so if you put it that way, Miss Shen would definitely choose Duan Yunfei."

"But if it were me..." She lightly brushed the tip of her nose with her hand, "I would definitely choose Song Ting!"

"That’s because you only have eyes for the young master." Song Qing crossed his arms, "For someone as impressive as Miss Shen, her standards are naturally high, and choosing Young Master Duan would be expected."

It’s not that he intended to belittle his own young master; it’s just that the reality is plainly there, and he couldn’t twist the facts, could he?

"Ha!" Lan Ruo suddenly realized, "You’re saying Song Ting likes Miss Shen, but Miss Shen likes Duan Yunfei?"

"Boohoohoo——" She looked pitiful, "No wonder he doesn’t want to return to the Medicine Sect, it’s because he’s changed his heart!"

Song Qing: ... What kind of logic is that?

"No, Miss Lan, you’re overthinking it. The young master doesn’t like Miss Shen, and Miss Shen doesn’t like the young master either. She and Young Master Duan are mutually in love."

Lan Ruo’s expression changed from gloomy to sunny immediately, and she laughed and asked, "Are you telling the truth?"

Song Qing sighed and nodded, "Absolutely true."

"That’s great!" Lan Ruo smiled knowingly, "You sit here slowly, I’m going in to see that girl."

"Hey~ Miss Lan!"

Watching her slip into the house, Song Qing couldn’t help but hold his forehead.

Letting this witch in, who knows what kind of trouble she’ll stir up in a bit!
