Chapter 539 Becoming the Target of Ridicule
"What? Where was it cut off?" Everyone stared at Lin Ping's crotch with pity, because it really did look... flat.
"If you don't believe me, you can go and ask him," Ding Zihu said with a smug laugh.
"Is what he said true?" Shui Peng asked with concern.
What could Lin Ping do? He wanted to argue back, but he didn't dare.
If the peak master of Hanyue Peak finds out that Jiang Yunying is lying, his identity will most likely be exposed.
"My wife, you've caused me so much suffering. Can't you find another reason?" Lin Ping spread his hands, feeling wronged and on the verge of tears.
Upon reflection, he didn't blame Jiang Yunying.
Why didn't they clean up the bloodstains on the bed beforehand?
They always used Lin Ping's injury as an excuse.
But he still has his hands and feet, which he can't use to lie, so he can only use the most hidden place as a scapegoat.
Moreover, its connection to Lin Ping's crimes makes it the most convincing.
"Brother Lin Ping, you must hang in there. This is nothing to be ashamed of. I had a relative in the same situation as you back then! He's doing just fine, isn't he?" Shui Peng hurriedly comforted him, though he couldn't hide the sympathy in his eyes.
"Which relative of yours? I've never heard of them before," Yin Chen asked, puzzled.
"You're so talkative!" Shui Peng glared at Yin Chen.
Yin Chen then understood what he meant, scratching his head and saying, "I remember now, you mentioned that he is the only son of your seventh maternal uncle's third niece."
"What's your mother's birth order in the family?" Lin Ping asked in return.
"Third brother! Is there a problem?" Shui Peng didn't know what Lin Ping wanted to say, probably because he was too heartbroken.
"In short, being able to have close contact with Jiang Yunying is worth it, even if it means losing all my roots!" Shui Peng said repeatedly.
"I'm innocent, please look at me with normal eyes..." Lin Ping said helplessly, wishing he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
For the first time, he felt the discomfort of being misunderstood, and the kind of discomfort that comes with not being able to explain himself.
"Hmph, since you all think I've lost my manhood, then I'll just spend every day in my wife's room." Thinking of this, Lin Ping's mood suddenly improved a lot.
As long as he can enter Hanyue Peak, he can openly and legitimately enter Jiang Yunying's boudoir, and even if he stays there late at night, no one will suspect anything.
"So this is what my wife intended, hahaha!" Lin Ping almost burst out laughing, and even puffed out his chest, saying, "That's right, just as you all said, so what?"
"Brother Lin Ping, are you alright? If you're upset, just let it out. You can even beat this guy up. We'll help you. Just don't bottle it up, and definitely don't grin like an idiot," Yin Chen said with concern.
"Didn't you tell me not to take it to heart? Now that I'm laughing out loud with joy, you suspect I'm mentally unstable? Don't you have any humanity?"
"I do want to vent, but not to beat up Ding Zihu." Lin Ping smiled sinisterly at Yin Chen.
"I'll fight!"
"Left hook, right hook, backflip!"
"Yin Chen, hang in there, I'll go get you some medicine!" Seeing Lin Ping's outburst, Shui Peng retreated repeatedly.
Ding Zihu also felt a chill; despite being at the Blue Lotus Realm, he was actually afraid of being beaten by an outer disciple.
"Lin Ping, you just wait. Once I'm fully healed, I'll make you pay the price," Ding Zihu muttered, still displeased even though he knew Lin Ping had lost his manhood.
In any case, it's a good thing that Lin Ping came back alive; as for the physical and emotional trauma, it will take time to heal.
Shui Peng, Yin Chen, and the others could only try to comfort him and hope that one day he would be able to face things calmly.
"Is this the excuse Jiang Yunying used to appease the peak master of Cold Moon Peak?" Jiang Mo whispered in Lin Ping's ear.
He knew about the relationship between Lin Ping and Jiang Yunying, and he also knew that Jiang Yunying would never hurt him.
It's even less likely that he would cut off his eighth brother's life, so this was just a pretext to cover up the truth.
Lin Ping made such a big mistake that he cannot be forgiven without a reason.
"Um... my wife is so clever and wise," Lin Ping replied in a low voice. He couldn't find any other words to describe Jiang Yunying besides praise.
“Any lie will eventually be exposed, and when that exposure happens, that’s when your identity will be revealed,” Jiang Mo questioned, slightly displeased.
"So you're very dissatisfied with what I did, so I should just watch my wife die from poisoning?" Lin Ping replied with a cold snort.
“She is indeed injured, but how do you know it’s a deadly poison? What if it’s just a minor injury? Is it really worth risking your identity to acknowledge her?” Jiang Mo still felt that Lin Ping’s approach was not prudent.
"Even if my wife loses a single hair, it's worth risking my life. That's my principle, Lin Ping. As for future troubles, I'll handle them in other ways," Lin Ping replied somewhat displeased.
He hated the practice of weighing the pros and cons before doing anything. Even if he didn't know that Jiang Yunying was seriously injured, he would still rush out without hesitation.
"Is this your principle?" Looking at Lin Ping's back, Jiang Mo felt a surge of emotions.
"There's something I forgot to tell you. Even if my wife doesn't show up, I will still try my best to go to the inner sect to see what's going on inside. It's necessary to observe the situation there. You can only win every battle if you know yourself and your enemy."
Before leaving, he left behind a thought-provoking remark.
"Was all of this part of your plan?" Jiang Mo suddenly felt that Lin Ping was somewhat unfamiliar; that enigmatic smile was enough to make one look up to him.
Not only is he incredibly insightful, but he also has a human touch – isn't that exactly what Jiang Hongling likes?
"Sister Hongling, I finally understand why you chose him." Jiang Mo sighed inwardly, his confidence in him renewed.
"Finally out of Jiang Heigou's sight, let me catch my breath first." Lin Ping patted his chest like a deflated balloon and said, "Pretending to be cool is really a skill. I almost got seen through by this guy. I never wanted to go to the inner sect to die. It was only because I missed my wife so much."
"Fortunately, that fellow seems to have believed it. Next time I see Miss Hongling, I must complain about him. Isn't it better to just be a good guard? Why ask so many questions?"
Lin Ping thought to himself, a hundred times dissatisfied.
Given the current situation, he needs Jiang Mo's help and has no choice but to curry favor with him; he can't let him sneak away.
"What are you going to do next?" Jiang Mo suddenly asked Lin Ping.
"Are you trying to scare me to death and then inherit my Alipay account?" Lin Ping broke out in a cold sweat, and he even suspected that Jiang Mo had heard him muttering to himself.
"I've been standing here for a long time, you just didn't notice because you were out of your mind," Jiang Mo argued.
In order to gain Jiang Mo's trust, Lin Ping could only continue to pretend to be serious and said, "The selection of inner disciples will take place in a month. I want to enter Hanyue Peak, so I need to make full use of my time for training."
