328: Who will be the older sister?

"Elder Dugu, don't listen to their nonsense, we were crippled by this brat." Nangong Tianming said, his face full of anger and his tone filled with urgency.

"Did you do this?"

Dugu Yuan turned to look at Yang Lingchen, his gaze filled with scrutiny and doubt.

"It was indeed this Disciple who did it."

Yang Lingchen nodded, his expression calm. He had long anticipated this moment and knew this matter could not be concealed.

"Why did you cripple their Dantian?" Dugu Yuan asked in a stern tone. His face was grave; for such matters, he had to get to the bottom of the reason.

"Elder Dugu, this Disciple truly didn't do it on purpose." Yang Lingchen sighed, deliberately putting on a helpless expression.

"Oh! Then tell me exactly what happened." Dugu Yuan said in a deep voice, his gaze fixed tightly on Yang Lingchen, waiting for his explanation.

"It happened like this: these two guys snuck onto Yirou Peak with the intention of committing illicit acts. After I discovered them, they even took the initiative to try and kill me." Yang Lingchen said with righteous indignation, as if he were still immersed in the tense atmosphere of that moment.

"So I had no choice but to teach them a lesson. I thought that with their profound cultivation level, I shouldn't have been their match, but who would have thought they were so vulnerable? This led to me accidentally punching them in the Dantian."

Yang Lingchen said with a wronged expression, looking completely innocent, as if all of this were just an accident.

"Enough, come with this seat to the Law Enforcement Hall!" Dugu Yuan said in a deep voice. He didn't believe a word of Yang Lingchen's nonsense.

"Elder Dugu, this matter was their fault to begin with. If you dare to take Yang Lingchen away, don't blame This Young Lady for being impolite." Shen Xinyi said with a cold tone.

Her eyes were filled with anger, and her beautiful face appeared somewhat fierce at this moment due to her rage.

"That's right, these two guys came to Yirou Peak to cause trouble and even intended to commit illicit acts against us. If my father finds out, there will definitely be no good outcome for them."

Shen Xinrou stood directly in front of Yang Lingchen and said coldly: "Also, I want to tell you all: Yang Lingchen is This Young Lady's man. Whoever dares to touch him, This Young Lady will finish them off."

Shen Xinrou's voice was crisp and resolute, filled with a sense of protectiveness.

Yang Lingchen didn't speak. In his view, having women protect him was also a skill. Since there was soft rice to eat, why bother eating hard rice?

The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, revealing a barely perceptible smile.

Of course, Yang Lingchen wasn't brainless and didn't just want to cripple others for no reason; he had two reasons for doing so.

The first reason was that Nangong Tianming and Su Yuwen already harbored murderous intent toward him. If he didn't cripple them, they would keep plotting against him from the shadows.

He knew deeply that in this treacherous world of Cultivate, mercy toward enemies was cruelty toward oneself.

The second reason was that Yang Lingchen wanted to see if the Shen sisters would protect him with all their might.

If the two sisters truly protected him, he would stay.

If they didn't protect him, he would leave. With Dugu Yuan's strength at the Early Stage of the Dao God Realm, he really couldn't keep him from using the Blood Escape Technique.

Dugu Yuan frowned and fell into deep thought. What gave him the biggest headache now was that Yang Lingchen was actually Shen Xinrou's man, and the ones crippled were Disciples of the Grand Elder. This left him in a very difficult position in the middle.

His expression fluctuated, and he constantly weighed the pros and cons in his heart.

"This seat can refrain from taking him away, but you must guarantee that he is not allowed to leave the Heavenly God Palace. After this seat reports to the Palace Master, we will make a final decision."

Dugu Yuan said after pondering for a moment.

The two Shen sisters were, after all, the World Master's most favored daughters, and the World Master was famously protective of his own. Therefore, Dugu Yuan had no choice but to make a concession.

"Elder Dugu, rest assured. Yang Lingchen is right here on our Yirou Peak and definitely won't run away."

Shen Xinrou said. Her tone was firm, giving Dugu Yuan a clear answer.

"Fine." Dugu Yuan nodded, then took Su Yuwen and Nangong Tianming and left Yirou Peak.

"Yang Lingchen, you said you would take responsibility for my younger sister, but what about me? Shouldn't you take responsibility for me too?"

Shen Xinrou said. Her eyes held a trace of resentment, as if she were blaming Yang Lingchen for his oversight.

"I can take responsibility for you, but you must change your attitude toward me." Yang Lingchen said, his expression serious, as if he were setting his own conditions.

"Consider yourself sensible. In the future, I will try to be nicer to you." A joyful smile appeared on Shen Xinrou's face, and her mood instantly improved.

"Shen Xinrou, you need to get this straight: I am the older sister." Shen Xinyi said coldly, her expression serious, showing dissatisfaction with her younger sister jumping ahead.

"Based on what? Just because you were born a few breaths of time earlier than me?" Shen Xinrou looked disdainful, pouting her lips, not giving an inch.

"I was also with Yang Lingchen before you! If we marry Yang Lingchen in the future, I will be your older sister." Shen Xinrou continued, her eyes filled with provocation.

"Yang Lingchen, you tell us, who will be the older one between us in the future?"

Shen Xinyi asked, hugging Yang Lingchen's arm, her expression eager, hoping Yang Lingchen would take her side.

"This...!" Yang Lingchen was dumbfounded.

"You two can just argue among yourselves, why ask me? Isn't this making me the bad guy?" Yang Lingchen groaned inwardly, not knowing how to answer.

"That's right, Yang Lingchen, it's already been two or three years since our first time. Don't you think I should be the older one?" Shen Xinrou, unwilling to be outdone, grabbed Yang Lingchen's other arm.

"This question is actually very easy to decide." A wicked smile suddenly appeared on Yang Lingchen's face.

"How to decide?" Shen Xinyi asked, her gaze fixed tightly on Yang Lingchen, filled with curiosity.

"Heh... heh... heh...! Of course, whoever listens to me is the older sister."

A wicked smile played on Yang Lingchen's face. He deliberately wore this expression, wanting to tease the two sisters.

Heavenly God Peak, Palace Master Hall.

The Palace Master, Shen Mingyang, was sitting on the Palace Master's throne at the very top of the hall, listening to the report from the Law Enforcement Elder Dugu Yuan.

Meanwhile, Nangong Tianming and Su Yuwen were lying quietly on stretchers, looking like they had lost all will to live.

"Palace Master, that is how the matter stands. How do you intend to handle it? Do you want to notify the Grand Elder?"

Dugu Yuan said everything he knew, his expression respectful, waiting for the Palace Master's instructions.

"Did Rou'er really say this Yang Lingchen is her man?"

Shen Mingyang's sword-like eyebrows knitted tightly, and his face instantly darkened. He said, "As for the Grand Elder's side, there is no need to notify him for now. Wait until this seat has investigated clearly."

"Young Miss Xinrou did indeed say that Yang Lingchen is her man." Dugu Yuan said, nodding and confirming this information once again.

"Isn't this brat the new Disciple Yi'er took in? What is his current cultivation level? How could he actually manage to cripple Su Yuwen?" A look of confusion appeared on Shen Mingyang's face, his gaze deep as he fell into thought.

"According to this Subordinate's observation, his cultivation level is at the eighth level of the Heavenly God Realm. As for why he was able to cripple Su Yuwen, this Subordinate is also puzzled."

Dugu Yuan said, his face also wearing a look of bewilderment.
