Chapter 449 The Unlucky Female Supporting Character in a Metaphysical Novel 26
Pei Lin tapped his finger on his knee and said to Zhao Qian, "Assistant Zhao, please give Master Yu a seat."
Pei Lin was unaware of his grandmother's situation, but when he met Yun Qing before, he realized his oversight and worried that Yu You, being close to Yun Qing, might try to take advantage of her.
Unfortunately, he and Yun Qing are currently not officially recognized or in a formal relationship, making it inconvenient for him to fully incorporate her into his protective circle.
Now that it has been confirmed that the so-called destiny is real, this matter needs to be taken seriously.
He didn't know how many people would covet his destiny, and that passively guarding against it wasn't a solution. He hoped to resolve the troubles brought about by his destiny once and for all.
According to what that master said before, even those in the Xuanmen sect wouldn't dare to forcibly seize his destiny.
Therefore, it's actually a good thing that people from the Xuanmen sect came directly to him; it's better than trying to take action against those around him.
Now that Yu You has come knocking on our door, let's see what she's up to.
Zhao Qian, with a cold and aloof elite expression, picked up his things, got out of the car, opened the back door and got in, leaving the passenger seat to Yu You.
Yu You was in a hurry to get to the point and didn't pay much attention to anything else. She got into the passenger seat and turned to look at Pei Lin.
However, before she could speak, she heard Pei Lin say to the driver, "Find a place to park."
Zhao Qian immediately understood and looked at Yu You, who was about to speak again, interrupting her, "Master Yu, no rush, we'll talk slowly later."
After the driver found a spot to park the car, Zhao Qian invited the driver to get out of the car with him.
The fact that President Pei chose a random parking spot instead of a proper place to discuss business clearly shows that he doesn't value Yu You. Yet, his insistence on finding a parking spot to continue the discussion suggests that it's inconvenient for other people to be in the car.
Inside the car, Pei Lin said, "Speak."
Yu You wasn't in such a hurry at this point. Now that there were no outsiders in the car, she turned around and looked at Pei Lin in the back, giving him a careful look.
As expected of being favored by Heaven, even her appearance is beyond the reach of ordinary people.
That face was as if it had been meticulously sculpted, without the slightest flaw, and it wasn't the kind of exquisite but soulless, dull beauty, but rather a unique and indescribable charm.
Yu You's gaze fell on his cold and handsome features, and she was momentarily lost in thought.
Pei Lin felt her stare intently at him, his face dark and displeased, clearly offended.
“Master Yu, my time is precious.”
Yu You finally came to her senses and sighed inwardly.
Unfortunately, Heaven does not completely favor one person; the price of an extremely noble destiny is a shortened lifespan.
She began, "Mr. Pei, I came to see you today to talk about your destiny."
“You are surrounded by auspicious purple energy, and your destiny is extremely noble, which is a good thing. However, I found out last night when I looked through my master’s notes that such a destiny is not all good things.”
"A life of nobility is easily cut short; this may shorten one's lifespan..."
Upon hearing this, Pei Lin suddenly interrupted her, "Wait a minute."
Then he took out his phone, pointed it at Yu You, and his expression wasn't so cold anymore. "Master Yu, please say it again, I'll record a video."
Yu You was taken aback, somewhat confused, but she repeated what she had said before and continued, "My master's notes also mention a way to break this."
"With your destiny, the auspicious energy will grow continuously, and the burden on you will become heavier and heavier until it becomes unbearable."
"Only by constantly consuming the excessive purple energy can one maintain a healthy lifespan."
"The trace of purple energy consumed by ordinary people under your protection is negligible and provides no real help to you."
"But I can help you..."
Pei Lin finished recording with satisfaction.
Yu You then revealed his true intentions, saying, "But I have one condition: you must marry me."
Pei Lin finally looked at her properly.
But when Yu You was looked at like that, she felt like a joke, and couldn't help but feel uncomfortable.
She explained, "Marrying me will also help me deplete your auspicious energy."
"The closer we are, the less the purple aura will reject me, and the easier it will be for me to use the purple aura."
Pei Lin asked calmly, "Why do you want to help me? What benefits will you get? You're changing my fate, aren't you afraid of bearing the consequences and being punished by Heaven?"
Yu You said confidently, "Don't worry, I won't do anything to harm your interests. I only have one goal, which is to marry you."
“My master mentioned in his notes that your destiny is special. If you voluntarily provide the purple energy for my use, then I will not have to bear any consequences.”
Perhaps sensing that Pei Lin was interested, Yu You relaxed considerably and joked, "After all, you are the darling of Heaven!"
Even if one's destiny has some flaws, Heaven still leaves room for life.
Pei Lin said with relief, "That's good."
Yu You glanced at him again and said with a smile, "Are you... worried about me?"
Before she could finish speaking, Pei Lin said, "Master Yu, let's stop here for today."
As soon as he finished speaking, he rolled down the car window, and Zhao Qian immediately ran over.
Pei Lin looked down at his phone and said somewhat rudely, "Assistant Zhao, see the guest out."
Zhao Qian opened the car door. "Master Yu, please."
Yu You frowned as she looked at Pei Lin, somewhat confused about his attitude, but she didn't want to argue any further. In the end, she simply said, "President Pei, you might as well consider it carefully. My suggestion won't cost you anything."
"If you have emotional concerns, we can get married by mutual consent."
Yu You is currently focused on getting married first, and can think about feelings later.
Zhao Qian was dumbfounded. This Master Yu was actually here to promote himself?
Pei Lin, without even looking up, was busy sending Yun Qing a video of the segment he had just filmed.
"Qingqing, this Master Yu is very powerful in the field of metaphysics. Even she said that, but she's probably eyeing my destiny. I wouldn't dare ask her for help."
Yun Qing was in the library when she felt her phone vibrate, so she took it out and glanced at it.
Looking at Yu You in the video, she was stunned for a moment, then quickly took out her earphones, put them on, and then opened the video. She watched it from beginning to end, her face full of question marks.
Yu You? A very powerful master?
【Linlin, were you fooled? This is my roommate!】
In Yun Qing's heart, Pei Lin was a very good person. It was definitely not him who was fooling her; he must have been fooled by someone else.
Pei Lin's expression darkened after seeing Yun Qing's reply.
He hadn't had time to look at Yu You's information yet, and he didn't know that she and Yun Qing were actually roommates. She must be the roommate Yun Qing mentioned that she didn't like.
Remembering what Yun Qing said about Yu You's disdain for her, Pei Lin felt even more disgusted with Yu You.
Yu You is truly a master. She resolved the ghost story at my aunt's house, and other masters also acknowledge her abilities. Her statements about my destiny should all be true.
However, she deliberately approached me more than once, clearly coveting my destiny, not genuinely wanting to help me.
My love, you're the only one I can rely on now.
It was followed by an emoji: an adorable cartoon dragon curled up pitifully, its eyes brimming with tears, looking incredibly endearing.
When Yun Qing heard Pei Lin say this, and considering that Yu You had always been mysterious, she couldn't help but believe that Yu You was a master.
Looking at that meme again, I immediately felt sorry for her.
She quickly sent a hugging emoji to comfort her: "[Linlin, don't be afraid, I'll help you. You'll definitely live to be a hundred!]"
Pei Lin lowered his eyes and smiled, but there was some worry in his eyes.
Be careful now that you're getting close to me; I'm afraid she might hurt you.
Yun Qing angrily poked at her phone, saying, "Don't worry, I'm pretty tough. If she dares to mess with me, I'll beat her up!"
Pei Lin, however, was still worried and pondered how to protect Yun Qing.
Although his fate might hinder his lifespan in his hands, it was clearly not a problem for Master Yu.
In other words, even if his destiny is precious but easily broken, his value to Yu You is not diminished.
It's unlikely that you'll get her to give up easily.
However, judging from Yu You's behavior just now, he reasonably suspects that Yu You needs to marry him and deepen their relationship in order to be able to change his destiny.
It should be his purple aura that will protect him.
Only when Yu You becomes "one of us" will Zi Qi lower her guard; otherwise, as that master said, she will suffer a backlash.
Since the purple aura can protect him, it should also be able to protect the people around him, right?
After figuring it out, Pei Lin decided to try to see if he could send purple energy to everyone around him one by one.
Yun Qing was already unlucky, and being roommates with Yu You made her even more vulnerable.
Yu You, who was asked to get out of the car, watched Pei Lin's car drive away, feeling somewhat annoyed, not only because of Pei Lin's rude attitude, but also because of the purple aura.
She's not familiar with Pei Lin right now, and he has no intention of protecting her. Even if she's surrounded by purple energy, she won't be able to get close, which is normal.
But what did it mean that the purple aura deliberately avoided her? It was as if touching her was like touching something dirty.
She even had a feeling that the purple aura had its own consciousness.
When I saw Pei Lin before, his purple aura was just quietly surrounding him and wasn't this active. What kind of stimulation did he suffer?
Yu You couldn't figure it out, and she wasn't in the mood to consult fortune tellers or feng shui masters, so she simply went back to school.
