Ch 50: Discovery
No sooner said than done, Du Qingyang ran out and placed a hand on the tractor, initiating a contact between person and object.
That pose was quite elegant, a pose she often struck in her previous life. The difference was that before, her hand rested on flowers, grass, or trees, but this time it was on a tractor.
However, if a beauty camera were to capture it and then beautify the image, the tractor could still be prettified to look cute. If it really couldn’t be beautified, cute sticker patterns could be directly Photoshopped onto it.
What a pity, there’s no beauty camera here, wasting such an elegant pose.
Several pairs of eyes behind her were staring, their faces showing speechless expressions.
This was the first time Du Qingyang had used physical contact to perform Divination; it was unprecedented. Where did Du Qingyang get the confidence to think that touching an object could also be used for Divination?
Probably from the previous divination, where she saw the Broken Thread. This time, she was a bit carried away, convinced that she was indeed Immortal Du.
The result was predictable: failure! Du Qingyang performed Divination many times in a row, but no Divination Image appeared even once.
“That… the time is not yet ripe; we need to choose another day to perform Divination again.”
No one exposed Du Qingyang’s lie; as long as she was happy.
The evildoer didn’t leave any clues, and there was no surveillance in this era, so no one could guess who the culprit was for a while. Xiang Zhihang and An Wei continued to work busily, groping around as they repaired it.
After taking revenge, Yao Lin felt cheerful, and she also became smarter. She began to understand how to dilute the Spiritual Spring and use it again.
Yao Lin had her family use the diluted Spiritual Spring to irrigate the fields, and she put the diluted Spiritual Spring into delicate little bottles, giving it a name: Fairy Water. She set up a stall in Dong Town. Her merchandise consisted of only one item, Fairy Water, and nothing else.
Du Qingyang’s clothing store and Yao Lin’s stall were on the same street. Soon, they both discovered each other.
Du Qingyang stood in front of Yao Lin’s stall and glanced at the bottles on the table. “Not bad, it seems you had an Awakening.”
Without guessing, Du Qingyang also figured out that Yao Lin was selling the Spiritual Spring. After the Spiritual Spring poisoning incident, Yao Lin understood how to change her approach and started a skincare product business. It was evident that she had become smarter. That’s more like a female lead.
Du Qingyang’s words of praise sounded very grating to Yao Lin. She even felt that Du Qingyang was mocking her.
“Du Qingyang, don’t think you’re so great just because you opened a shop with your family’s money. I will surpass you one day!”
Du Qingyang was stunned. What? Yao Lin thought she was mocking her and looking down on her for setting up a stall? This tolerance…
What’s wrong with setting up a stall? Wasn’t she, Doctor Du, often setting up a stall? Du Qingyang even wanted to set up another Immortal Du stall.
Yao Lin was looking down on herself; she was overly sensitive.
“You’re wrong; the money I used to open the shop wasn’t given by my family. Thanks to your poisonous Spiritual Spring, it was earned from selling the antidote.” Du Qingyang rolled her eyes and stuck out her tongue.
Originally, she sincerely wanted to praise Yao Lin. But this fellow didn’t appreciate it, so she might as well refute her and make her angry, angry, angry.
“You—” As expected, Yao Lin was so angry that her face turned red, and she stomped her feet.
Du Qingyang felt bored and turned to leave.
“Du Qingyang, you won’t be smug for too long; your family will decline.”
“Your family’s tractor will definitely not be repaired! You won’t have any money to earn in the future!”
As soon as the tractor was mentioned, Du Qingyang stopped and turned around again. She asked faintly, “How do you know our family’s tractor can’t be repaired?”
“Hmph, all the wires are cut; how else can it be repaired?” Yao Lin blurted out without realizing that there was anything wrong with her words.
◈◈◈
Du Qingyang’s expression darkened.
The fact that the tractor’s wires were cut was only discovered yesterday, and only the Du Family, Xiang Zhihang, and An Wei knew about it; it hadn’t been spread outside. How did Yao Lin know about it?
At the time, everyone had carefully checked, and there were no signs of anyone climbing over the wall, and the door lock wasn’t broken either. Everyone wondered how the person had sneaked in.
In an instant, Du Qingyang suddenly understood. Yao Lin had a Dimension; she could use the Dimension to sabotage the tractor without anyone knowing and then escape safely.
“How many wires were cut?” Du Qingyang was suspicious and spoke again to probe.
“I don’t remember.” Yao Lin, who hadn’t Awakened, blurted out again. She had cut so many wires that night; how could she remember how many she had cut?
As soon as these words came out, Yao Lin suddenly felt that something was wrong. She shouldn’t have said that. So, she quickly changed her tune: “How would I know how many wires were cut?”
Du Qingyang didn’t respond; instead, she stared at Yao Lin and smiled. Her smile was bewitching and eerie.
Yao Lin felt flustered by the stare and quickly issued an eviction order: “Get out; you’re not welcome here.”
Du Qingyang didn’t leave; she just put away her smile. The look in her eyes as she stared at Yao Lin became even sharper.
“Do you know what the consequences will be for offending me?”
Yao Lin’s heart skipped a beat, but she didn’t say anything.
“I’ll repay you double! Because I’m someone who always seeks revenge.”
Yao Lin’s face turned from red to white.
“If the tractor can’t be repaired, I’ll make your family go bankrupt to compensate. If it can be repaired, don’t worry; I’ll take my revenge slowly.”
Yao Lin’s face turned from white to green. Du Qingyang knew? She had actually been discovered!
“Du Qingyang, what nonsense are you talking about? What does your family’s broken tractor have to do with me? It has nothing to do with me!” Yao Lin could only deny it loudly. Of course, she couldn’t admit it. Otherwise, her family wouldn’t be able to afford the compensation even if they went bankrupt.
Yao Lin regretted talking to Du Qingyang. She really said too much; if she had kept quiet, she wouldn’t have been discovered.
“Du Qingyang, don’t slander people without evidence!” Yao Lin could still be confident and justified. She was very confident that she hadn’t left any evidence.
Indeed, there was no evidence. If there was evidence, would Du Qingyang still be arguing with Yao Lin here? She would have directly taken her to the Police Station!
How hateful! The more she looked at this female lead, the more she disliked her. Bah, what female lead? She didn’t acknowledge her anymore! She wanted to knock her down from the female lead position!
“Do you believe I can knock you down to the 18th tier, not even a female supporting character!” Du Qingyang couldn’t wait to erase Yao Lin’s character directly. If she were the Author.
What the h*ll? Why couldn’t Yao Lin understand anything?
“I’ll beat you so badly that even the Author’s biological mother won’t recognize you!”
“……” Yao Lin.
Yao Lin still didn’t understand. What 18th tier, what Author, what biological mother? What was Du Qingyang talking about?
Although Yao Lin didn’t understand the meaning of the words, she knew that she had angered Du Qingyang.
It wasn’t just anger; Du Qingyang was directly declaring that she would go against Yao Lin! The tractor that the Du Family had bought back by saving money was sabotaged by someone; how could she not be angry?
The Original Owner often went against Yao Lin, so was she a villainous female supporting character?
So what if she was? Du Qingyang would play the villainous female supporting character to the end!
Yao Lin was the female lead with her own halo? Bah, she would make her roll to the 18th tier!
