He didn't expect Qin Jiuyue to be so cute; even though she was awake, she pretended to be asleep.
But thinking about it, it makes sense; it would be really awkward to meet in this situation.
Su Lin tried to get up quietly, but she pulled the blanket, which also pulled Qin Jiuyue's blanket.
"Hiss~!!!"
Qin Jiuyue gasped and then opened her eyes.
Hearing Qin Jiuyue gasp, Su Lin decided not to get out of bed.
He could only say, "Sister Xiaoyue, you're awake?"
Upon hearing this, Qin Jiuyue blinked her eyelashes and then pulled the blanket over half of her face.
"Heh~!! Sister Xiaoyue, are you still shy?"
Hearing Su Lin's laughter, Qin Jiuyue opened her eyes and gritted her teeth, saying, "Hmph, I wasn't asleep, I just suddenly passed out."
"Hahaha....."
"Su Lin, you're not allowed to laugh." Qin Jiuyue glared angrily at Su Lin.
Su Lin smiled and said, "Sister Xiaoyue, you should start calling me husband or sir now."
"Who's your husband... ugh... who's my husband? We're not married yet. I'm not going to marry you!" Qin Jiuyue said fiercely.
"Hehe... Xiao Wan and the others will be back soon. Are you sure you want to keep your face covered like this?" Su Lin asked with a chuckle.
Qin Jiuyue kicked her foot in frustration: "Why did you call them back for no reason... It hurts so much!"
Su Lin quickly asked with concern, "Sister Xiaoyue, is your foot alright?"
Qin Jiuyue muttered a few words, then turned her head to the side, refusing to look at Su Lin.
She was feeling a mix of emotions. Although she liked Su Lin very much, she never expected that she would give herself to him so easily.
She had hundreds of romantic ideas in mind, but none of them were like this.
This made Qin Jiuyue very depressed.
Su Lin then called Qin Jiuyue and the others back, which made him even more frustrated.
How could she face Lin Xiaowan and Zhao Yanyan?
Su Lin knew that Qin Jiuyue was having trouble processing some things, and seeing that her favorability rating had soared to 99, he knew that she was just having trouble adjusting for the time being.
So he wisely chose to remain silent. At this point, anything he said would be wrong, so keeping quiet was the clearest choice!

Qin Jiuyue thought Su Lin would talk to her, but Su Lin just sat there staring at her without saying a word.
Finally, she couldn't help but turn around and look at Su Lin; "Why aren't you saying a word?"
Su Lin shrugged: "What do you want me to say?"
"You... Hmph... You don't want to take responsibility?" Qin Jiuyue's eyes widened.
"When did I stop taking responsibility? Didn't I just make you call me husband?" Su Lin looked wronged, not knowing what Qin Jiuyue was up to, and could only stare blankly at her.
Qin Jiuyue pulled Su Lin's arm and made him fall down, then whispered, "You taught Xiao Wan and Xiao Yu how to cultivate, didn't you? I... I'm yours now, why don't you teach me?"
Su Lin slapped his forehead; "So you were waiting for me here, Sister Xiaoyue. You didn't do this on purpose, did you?"
Qin Jiuyue's face was filled with annoyance as she pinched Su Lin's soft waist. "Who did that on purpose? Who did that on purpose? I didn't want to learn martial arts, Su Lin, don't wrong me."
"Hahaha~! Okay, okay, I'm not wronged, I'm not wronged." Su Lin suppressed his laughter.
"You're that eager to learn?"
Qin Jiuyue leaned her head against Su Lin and said, "Su Lin, if I don't have the ability, Grandpa will definitely send me to a marriage alliance. I understand business, but I don't want to be a businessman. I want to learn martial arts, to fly over rooftops and walk on walls, just like you."
"If I were also a Grandmaster or a Great Grandmaster, my grandfather wouldn't be able to hold me back then."
Su Lin gently rubbed Qin Jiuyue's head, feeling a pang of heartache.
Although Qin Jiuyue was pampered by people like Qin Deshu and Qin Delin since she was a child, she also lost her freedom.
Having lived under their arrangement since childhood, Qin Jiuyue yearns for freedom, which is why she is so interested in Su Lin's martial arts.
"As for whether I did it on purpose, of course I did it on purpose. If I, Qin Jiuyue, didn't care about you, would I let you bully me like that?" Qin Jiuyue's face turned red after she finished speaking.
Logically speaking, it should be her bullying Su Lin.
Thinking of this, she buried her face again.
Su Lin smiled and said, "Sister Xiaoyue, to be honest, I've already prepared your cultivation technique, but I just haven't had a reason to give it to you."
As he spoke, Su Lin took out the jade pendant that Li Ziyu had left with him. Inside was the technique for the second needle of the Taiyi Divine Needle.
This technique suits Qin Jiuyue perfectly, which is why he hasn't used it until now.
The key difference is that these locally produced techniques can be taught, unlike system rewards which can only be used by the individual. Unless it's a specific teachable technique, it can only be used by the user.
"Really? Su Lin, you're not lying to me?"
Su Lin nodded: "Still called Su Lin?"
"Honey! You didn't lie to me, did you?"
Hearing Qin Jiuyue's sweet voice, Su Lin felt his heart suddenly heat up again.
He quickly suppressed his distracting thoughts and nodded, saying, "Of course, why would I lie to you?"
"However, you can't practice this technique yet. Rest today and I'll give it to you tomorrow."
Qin Jiuyue nodded: "Okay!"
She wanted to hug Su Lin to express her happiness, but suddenly realized that she wasn't wearing any clothes, so she quickly said, "Let me put on some clothes first."
Su Lin nodded: "Should we leave?"
Qin Jiuyue smiled brightly, then shook her head.
Su Lin saw her take her clothes and huddle under the covers.
"Sister Xiaoyue, is this how you usually dress?" Su Lin asked, speechless.
Qin Jiuyue got out of bed: "How was it? Didn't see anything? Aren't you disappointed?"
Su Lin chuckled and said, "What am I disappointed about? I've seen enough already."
Qin Jiuyue's face darkened upon hearing this; "Don't mention what happened earlier again, or Li Ziyu will be upset. Hehe, I'll make her call me'sister' later."
"Hehe... So you're going to call Xiaowan and the others 'older sister'?" Su Lin teased with a smile.
Qin Jiuyue said seriously, "That definitely won't work. Xiaowan and the others are younger than me, so of course they'll call me 'older sister.' This isn't some officialdom where seniority matters, is it?"
"What about Ziyu?"
"Li Ziyu is still at the auction house, and besides, she met you later than I did... Wait... no, Li Ziyu is nobody now, so why is she calling me sister?"
After saying that, Qin Jiuyue pinched Su Lin again; "Well, you really are always looking for something better than what you have. Su Lin, how can you be so greedy?"
Su Lin quickly replied, "Didn't you bring this up? What does it have to do with me?"
"Isn't that what you really think?"
"Well....."
"Look, look, you hesitated. Hesitation means it's real, ha! Men."
Su Lin; "..."
Seeing Su Lin's dumbfounded expression, Qin Jiuyue's lips curled into a smile. Her acting skills had improved again, and this time Su Lin was completely fooled by her.
The two were silent when they heard the sound of a door opening and conversation coming from downstairs.
Qin Jiuyue's expression changed drastically, and she quickly buried her head under the covers. "Su Lin, you bad guy, why did you call them back? I'm asleep, I'm asleep! Go explain to them yourself."
After saying that, Qin Jiuyue pulled the blanket over herself, turned her head to the side, and fell asleep.
He looked like he was sleeping soundly; Su Lin could even hear his slow breathing.
"Wow... your acting is amazing, it's Oscar-worthy."
Qin Jiuyue: "...."
Seeing Qin Jiuyue's motionless expression, Su Lin was completely convinced.
He put on the clothes, then opened the door and went downstairs.
"Su Lin...we're back! Are you home?"
Hearing Lin Xiaowan's call, Su Lin replied, "Yes, yes, I'll be right down."
Then the three women saw Su Lin walking down the stairs wearing a shirt.
The three women were all sharp-eyed and quickly noticed the lipstick on Su Lin's lips and the scratches on his arm.
The three women looked at each other; they were all very familiar with the marks on their bodies.
"Su Lin...you.."
Su Lin interrupted Lin Xiaowan, saying, "Sit down, everyone. I have something to discuss with you."
