Chapter 1242: Chapter 1232: She's a Good Girl, That's Why Second Brother Would Do This_1 Chapter 1242: Chapter 1232: She's a Good Girl, That's Why Second Brother Would Do This_1 Lin Qingluo felt complicated, with a hint of reluctance: “Anyway, she is a girl. Second Brother has always been kind and tolerant to others. He can tolerate such a bold woman like Liu Qingqing, so why can't he tolerate her?”
“It's precisely because she's a good girl that Second Brother would do this.”
Lin Jinxu had a clear conscience and didn't hide anything: “Since he has no intention, it's better to reject her directly and avoid ruining her life.”
“Won't Second Brother reconsider?”
Lin Qingluo came at the order and felt ashamed for not completing the task, feeling guilty towards Grandmother and Third Aunt's trust.
“If it were a year ago, for Mother, maybe I would agree.”
The siblings arrived at the pavilion, and Lin Jinxu took out the tea set, playful laugh, and then the conversation took a turn as he candidly revealed his true feelings.
“But now, since I've already cultivated Spirit Roots and embarked on the path of immortality, I have the qualifications to pursue my dreams. Just like my sister, Second Brother also yearns for bigger and broader worlds. He is unwilling to be bound by the mundane world and trapped in one small place for his entire life.”
“If Second Brother has this ambition, Sister supports you.”
Lin Qingluo's emotions surged, her eyes shining brightly.
“Hahaha.”
Lin Jinxu's mood was great, and he laughed loudly: “Second Brother knew that Sister would definitely understand Second Brother.”
“Since Second Brother has already decided.”
Lin Qingluo was genuinely happy for Second Brother: “Sister will go back now and tell Grandmother.”
“No hurry.”
Lin Jinxu pressed on her shoulder and looked at her gently: “Second Brother has already made tea, let's have a cup before you go.”
“Mm, okay.”
Lin Qingluo smiled playfully and sat back down. The siblings enjoyed their tea and admired the plum blossoms, feeling very content.

Morning Sun Hall.
Xuanyuan Qing sneakily lifted her eyelids and glanced at Lin Jinyun's expression. Seeing that he had no intention of driving her away, her red lips lightly pursed, secretly rejoicing to herself.
“Was it interesting to disguise yourself as a man and visit the Bright Moon Pavilion? Did you find any beloved singer?”
Lin Jinyun put down his teacup, flipped through the memorial, and asked casually: “Do you have any heartthrob singers?”
“Clank.”
Xuanyuan Qing was startled, and the tray in her hand fell to the ground.
Lin Jinyun paused flipping through the memorial, raised his eyes, and gave her a cold glance.
Xuanyuan Qing felt as if she was in an ice cellar, her heart turning cold. She had never regretted her impulsive actions as much as she did at this moment.
“It seems you do?”
Lin Jinyun's lips curved up slightly, revealing a hint of playfulness.
“No, no, that's not it.”
Xuanyuan Qing was so frightened that her heart trembled and hurriedly explained: “There were no famous singers. We went there that night and didn't see any courtesans or famous singers.”
“Do you want to go again?”
Lin Jinyun glanced at her while reading the memorial.
“No, no, I won't go again. I dare not go again.”
Xuanyuan Qing still thought that the Bright Moon Pavilion was a brothel up until this very moment. She made a bitter face, putting her hands together in a begging gesture, asking for mercy again and again.
“You really don't want to go?”
Lin Jinyun seemed to be disappointed and sighed: “There's a farewell banquet at the Bright Moon Pavilion tomorrow night. This prince intended to invite the princess to attend, but it seems that I can't do that.”
“Ah?”
Xuanyuan Qing's plea paused as her brain went into a state of confusion from the sudden turn of events.
“Hehe.”
Lin Jinyun continued to read the memorial, his lips curving into a charming smile.

Outside the Capital City, Lin Jinxu personally arrived at the Guest Pavilion to welcome Thousand-Mechanism Pavilion's officials from the ten northern cities, who came in haste: Xu Liang, Mr. Xu, and his entourage.
Also coming with him was Xu Ruoxuan.
The 15-year-old top scholar, dressed in the official uniform of the Ministry of Public Works, wore a hat over his hair, exuding youth and vigor, attracted much attention.
“Ruoxuan, is Mr. Xu really your Third Uncle?”
While waiting for the others, Lin Jinxu struck up a conversation with the top scholar, talking to him out of sheer boredom.
