Chapter 242 Ying Huanhuan's Targeting
On a mountain in Dao Sect, a young figure was sitting cross-legged on a blue stone protruding from the edge of the mountain.

Lin Dong stared down quietly, his eyes a little dazed. It seemed like almost half a year had passed since he came to Dao Sect. He wondered if his father and his family were doing well in the Great Yan Dynasty.
"I don't know if Qingtan has practiced well."

"Mu Zi, how is she now?"

As his thoughts turned, a familiar figure emerged in his mind, and Lin Dong's lips involuntarily raised a soft arc.

"What are you thinking about when you smile like that?"

A pleasant and sweet laugh suddenly sounded, and Lin Dong came back to his senses. He turned his head and saw Ying Huanhuan standing beside him, wearing light-colored clothes and smiling sweetly.

"Nothing." Lin Dong shook his head and said with a smile.

Ying Huanhuan tilted her head and looked at Lin Dong, her bright eyes full of suspicion.

This guy must be up to no good!
Lin Dong stretched lazily, turned his head to look at Ying Huanhuan, and said indifferently:

"Tell me, what do you want to see me for?"

Ever since returning from the Blood Rock Land half a month ago, Ying Huanhuan has been pestering him, running to him whenever she has something to do or not, making him feel a little helpless. How can he still practice well?
Ying Huanhuan looked at Lin Dong's lazy look, her slightly fleshy face pouted, and she said something in a pout.

"I can't come to you if I have nothing to do?"

Seeing this, Lin Dong didn't say much. It was nice to have a beautiful girl around to feast his eyes on.

Ying Huanhuan rolled her eyes, walked over to Lin Dong and sat down without any hesitation. She raised her jade hand and a emerald green zither appeared.

“Lin Dong, let me play a song for you.” The girl looked at the young man beside her and said softly.

"In this sect, except for my father and sister, no one else can enjoy this treatment~"

Lin Dong was stunned for a moment, and just as he was about to speak, the girl's slender and flawless hand, like mutton-fat jade, had already lightly fallen on the strings of the zither. Then, soft sounds, like the sound of nature, came gently.

Ying Huanhuan majored in sound waves, and her piano skills have reached perfection. When her delicate hands stroke the piano, there are strange waves that are pleasant to the ears, and like a gentle spring breeze and rain, they seep into the mind silently and settle into the deepest part of the soul.

As the soft piano music came to his ears, Lin Dong's mind gradually relaxed and he began to immerse himself in the beautiful melody.

The sound of the piano was melodious, and Lin Dong felt calmer than ever before. At this moment, he seemed to have unloaded all the pressure on his body, and his whole body was immersed in the water that was like gentle green waves, warm and comfortable.

Turning his head slightly, he saw Ying Huanhuan's focused look. The sunlight shone through the branches of the woods above, casting a soft arc of light on her, making her look radiant.

Cangshan Mountain, bluestone, girl, and guqin.

Lin Dong was stunned, and his heart skipped a beat as he looked at the girl playing the piano.

At this moment, a beautiful figure suddenly flashed before his eyes.

Lin Dong shook his head, pulled his thoughts back to his senses, and looked at Ying Huanhuan again with eyes as calm as water.

Time passes and the song ends.

Ying Huanhuan stood up holding the guqin and stretched lazily, showing off the soft curves of her body.

"Like it?"

A faint smile appeared on Lin Dong's face, and the pleasant piano music seemed to still linger in his ears.

"not bad."

Ying Huanhuan's pretty face broke into a smile, and she turned around and ran away happily, her black ponytail bouncing behind her, exuding the vitality of a youthful girl.

Watching her retreating figure, Lin Dong smiled and shook his head, then continued to devote himself to his cultivation.

"Lin Dong, please accompany me for a walk."

Ying Huanhuan found Lin Dong again and looked at him with a sweet smile.

Lin Dong had just finished a stage of training and had nothing to do, so he accepted Ying Huanhuan's invitation.

Two figures strolled in Dao Sect. From time to time, the clear and pleasant voice of a young girl could be heard beside Lin Dong, like a cheerful bird chirping on a branch with laughter.

As he was walking, Lin Dong suddenly stopped and stared ahead in a daze.

"what happened?"

Ying Huanhuan blinked, followed his gaze, and saw a stunning figure.

What kind of person is that?
She was wearing an elegant plain dress, her eyebrows and features were picturesque, her long hair was as silky as silk, and fell on her slender waist. A pale white flower quietly bloomed among her black hair, making her fairy-like face even more flawless.

Ying Huanhuan's gaze fell on the ponytail behind her. The end of the ponytail was slightly curled up, adding a hint of earthly air to the fairy-like woman, which was completely natural.

Looking at her hairstyle which was similar to her own style, Ying Huanhuan suddenly felt ashamed, as if she was imitating someone else.

What made Ying Huanhuan even more worried was that after Lin Dong saw the woman, he rushed out from beside her and walked quickly towards her.

"How did you come?"

Looking at the beautiful figure in front of him, Lin Dong's eyes flickered with surprise.

Mu Zi turned his head, glanced at Lin Dong, then looked at Ying Huanhuan who was not far behind him, and the corners of his eyes curved.

"Sure, Lin Dong!"

Mu Zi reached out and patted his shoulder, then looked at Lin Dong with an auntie smile.

Lin Dong, this guy has finally come to his senses and can even seduce young girls!
Mu Zi's actions left Lin Dong confused. He touched his head and asked in confusion:

"What's wrong with me?"

Mu Zi folded her arms across her chest, looked at Ying Huanhuan not far away, and raised her smooth chin to Lin Dong.

"Is that your girlfriend?"

"what?"

Lin Dong was stunned for a moment, and when he came to his senses, he looked at the smile on Mu Zi's face, and his heart suddenly ached. After a while, Lin Dong raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and forced a smile.

"No, she and I are just from the same school."

Mu Zi frowned and felt a little confused when he heard this.

From the looks of it, Lin Dong and Ying Huanhuan didn't seem to be together. This shouldn't be the case!

The current situation is different from the original novel. Nothing happened between Lin Dong and Ling Qingzhu, so he would not miss the latter.

Without Ling Qingzhu, Lin Dong should have fallen in love with Ying Huanhuan earlier, right?
Lively, cute, and full of youthful atmosphere
Doesn’t Lin Dong like this one?

What is the reason, is it?
Just when that thought was about to flash through Mu Zi's mind, Ying Huanhuan suddenly walked over quickly, stood between the two of them, and vaguely separated Lin Dong behind him.

"Dao Zong, you should be happy."

Ying Huanhuan looked at Mu Zi, stretched out a hand as white as jade, and held it in front of her.

Mu Zi's thoughts were interrupted. She was slightly stunned and subconsciously stretched out her hand.

"Qianhai Sect, Mu Zi."

Two flawless white hands were gently clasped together, like the most perfect work of art, gleaming with crystal luster in the sun.

After hearing Mu Zi's name, Ying Huanhuan's eyes froze. She narrowed her eyes slightly and looked at Mu Zi with a subtle scrutiny.

After a moment, Ying Huanhuan withdrew her hand and a polite smile appeared on her pretty face.

"Lin Dong told me about you. He said that your talent far exceeds everyone else's. Even Senior Zhou Tong can't compare to you."

Having said that, Ying Huanhuan paused.

"Are you here to comprehend the Great Desolate Scripture?"

Seeing Mu Zi nod, Ying Huanhuan continued speaking, her tone turning colder.

"You'd better be able to comprehend the Great Desolate Sutra, otherwise, how can you deserve such an arrogant evaluation!"

Ying Huanhuan spoke coldly to Mu Zi. He frowned at first, but after thinking for a moment, he suddenly understood the problem.

This guy Lin Dong actually said in front of the girl that her idol is not as good as others. His EQ is too low!

It would be strange if Ying Huanhuan could get along with him given the way he is!

Thinking of this, Mu Zi smiled at Ying Huanhuan and explained softly:

"Don't listen to that bastard Lin Dong's nonsense. How can my talent compare to Senior Zhou Tong's?"

While explaining, Mu Zi also gave Lin Dong a hint, signaling him to cooperate quickly.

But Lin Dong acted as if he didn't see it and had no intention of apologizing. He even emphasized it again in front of Ying Huanhuan.

"Mu Zi's talent is the strongest!"

Seeing Lin Dong's "iron straight man" remarks, Mu Zi couldn't help but hold her forehead helplessly, smiled at Huan Huan again, then, she decisively grabbed the corner of Lin Dong's clothes and pulled him aside.

"Why are you bringing this up? Do I need your praise?"

Mu Zi glared at Lin Dong, then said earnestly:
"Look, can't you follow the girl's mind and say something to make her happy? How can you please a girl like this?"

As Mu Zi spoke, she poked Lin Dong's arm with her finger, looking quite disappointed in him.

Lin Dong listened to Mu Zi's "reprimands", lowered his head and remained silent, not knowing what he was thinking.

Ying Huanhuan, who was standing by, saw what the two were doing and felt waves of pain in her heart. She clenched her fists, her knuckles turning white from the force, and her body was shaking slightly.

Ying Huanhuan took a deep breath, forced a smile on her face, and walked towards the two of them.

"Miss Mu," she called out, and Mu Zi turned around and looked at her with a questioning look in her eyes.

"Lin Dong really likes to listen to me play the piano!"

Ying Huanhuan's tone was boastful as she looked at Mu Zi provocatively.

However, what she didn't expect was that Mu Zi was not angry, but instead smiled at her.

“That’s great!”

Ying Huanhuan looked at Mu Zi who seemed to be nonchalant, and suddenly felt like she had punched cotton, unable to exert any strength.

Taking another deep breath, Ying Huanhuan raised the corners of her mouth slightly, turned her head to look at Lin Dong, and said with a smile:

"Lin Dong, let's go and take a look at the Heavenly Palace together."

Lin Dong did not accept Ying Huanhuan's invitation, but shook his head at her disappointed look.

"No, I want to take Mu Zi to visit Dao Sect."

Ying Huanhuan's breathing stagnated.

Hearing this, Mu Zi glared at Lin Dong and said, "No need, you should go and accompany Miss Ying."

Ying Huanhuan's breathing stagnated again.

She looked at Mu Zi and Lin Dong and raised her chin stubbornly.

"Humph! I don't need this guy's company!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ying Huanhuan suddenly turned around and ran away, looking embarrassed.
