Villain: After Intercepting the Female Lead, the Protagonist Collapses

Chapter 287: I Really Don’t Covet Her Beauty!

As if seeing through Ji Qingwan’s doubts, Jiang Che continued speaking, his gaze towards her filled with a bit of pity.

“This Tianji Pavilion has some old grievances with my Jiang family. Helping Miss Ji is also helping myself, as we have a common enemy.”

“Moreover, no matter what, Miss Ji, you are Qingqiu’s junior sister. These are things I should do.”  Jiang Che’s words were watertight, as if he were simply lamenting Ji Qingwan’s tragic background, without any ulterior motives.

Hearing Jiang Che’s response, Ji Qingwan stood in place, lost in thought.  His words were reasonable, suggesting that he was merely pitying her background and offering help because of her relationship with Shen Qingqiu.

Understanding this, Ji Qingwan nodded in agreement, her gaze showing a bit of expectation towards Jiang Che.  She was curious about how he planned to help her improve her cultivation. She knew he was a very mysterious person.

Someone who could casually give away a rare elixir like the Great Restoration Pill must have extraordinary means.

Now, she wasn’t concerned about dignity or pride. If it were before, she would have refused Jiang Che’s seemingly condescending help out of her own pride.

But not anymore. After learning about the enemy who annihilated her entire family, all she felt was endless anger.  Compared to quickly gaining strength to seek revenge on Tianji Pavilion, her so-called pride seemed laughable.

“This is the Star Devouring Technique. Miss Ji can practice it in the coming days, and I will find suitable targets for you.” Jiang Che handed her a copy of the Star Devouring Technique, smiling.

The suitable targets he mentioned were, of course, protagonists—natural resources to be harvested! He decided to give this technique to Ji Qingwan after much thought.

There were only about ten days left before Ji Chen returns to Linjiang City. Before his return, this was the only way to quickly gain Ji Qingwan’s favor. This would allow him to effectively set up Ji Chen later on.

Besides, Ji Qingwan wasn’t an outsider. Since she was the woman he had set his sights on, he would claim her sooner or later.

Ji Qingwan took the manual from Jiang Che’s hands, her eyes scanning the contents with curiosity.  After a brief look, her eyes filled with shock, and she gazed at Jiang Che in disbelief.

She couldn’t believe he would give her such a powerful technique.  The content was too extraordinary, something she had never heard of before.

“You don’t need to be surprised. This technique is indeed real. My rapid advancement in cultivation is thanks to this technique.”

Seeing Ji Qingwan’s astonished expression, Shen Qingqiu shook her head, smiling. When she first heard Jiang Che describe the technique, her reaction had been almost identical.

She didn’t expect Jiang Che to be so generous, giving such a valuable technique to Ji Qingwan.

Thinking this, Shen Qingqiu glanced at Jiang Che, a bit annoyed.  She roughly understood Jiang Che’s intentions. He must have taken a liking to her junior sister!  Otherwise, he wouldn’t be so generous in helping her.

After all, Jiang Che had no obligation to help her this much, even for Shen Qingqiu’s sake.

Noticing Shen Qingqiu’s strange gaze, Jiang Che maintained a calm demeanor, pretending not to understand her implications.

Seeing his expression, Shen Qingqiu was exasperated but said nothing more. Turning to Ji Qingwan, she said, “Go find a place to study this technique first.”

“This technique is profound. If you master all its aspects, it will greatly benefit you.” Although the primary function of this technique was to absorb others’ internal energy, it also contained much valuable knowledge.@@novelbin@@

Ji Qingwan nodded, gave Jiang Che a grateful look, and headed upstairs to her room.

After she left, Shen Qingqiu turned to Jiang Che, her expression full of mockery., “Tell me, why are you being so nice to my junior sister?”

“If I said I felt sorry for her and wanted to help, would you believe me?”  Jiang Che shrugged, looking helpless.

Could it be so hard to do a good deed? He genuinely felt for Ji Qingwan’s tragic background, without any ulterior motives!

“Do you think I’ll believe that nonsense?”  Shen Qingqiu scoffed, giving Jiang Che a disdainful look. She knew exactly what kind of person he was.

This guy was a complete scumbag!  Being so attentive to Ji Qingwan could only mean he was infatuated with her looks!

“Aren’t you going to admit you have feelings for my junior sister? You probably can’t stop thinking about her.”  She had always been suspicious when Jiang Che gave her junior sister a rare elixir. Now it all made sense.

This scumbag!

He was trying to leave an impression on Ji Qingwan with gifts, then slowly win her favor.

“Do I seem that shallow?”  Jiang Che said seriously, though he would never admit his true intentions.
