436: Who administered the aphrodisiac?

"I nearly lost my life protecting you. Don't you owe me a favor?" Yang Lingchen said via Sound Transmission.

"Owing you a favor is no problem. In the future, if you have any trouble within Wentian Palace, just come find me." Su Yuyan's tone was very serious.

"You said it yourself." Yang Lingchen chuckled.

"Wait, that's not right!" Su Yuyan suddenly realized, saying via Sound Transmission: "Wasn't your cultivation level only at the first layer of the Void Spirit Realm back then?"

"Just some fortuitous encounters, which is why I had a Breakthrough so quickly," Yang Lingchen said via Sound Transmission.

"What is your name? Which peak's Disciple are you?" Su Yuyan asked via Sound Transmission.

"Yang Lingchen, an Outer Sect Disciple of Xuanbing Peak," Yang Lingchen said via Sound Transmission.

"You are Yang Lingchen?" Su Yuyan's voice carried a hint of surprise!

"That's right! What's the matter? Have you heard of me?" Yang Lingchen asked.

"Of course I have. The rumors about you and Li Hanyan have already spread throughout the entire Sect."

Su Yuyan asked with a curious expression: "Are you really Li Hanyan's man?"

"It's all just rumors; they aren't true," Yang Lingchen smiled helplessly.

"I thought so too. With Li Hanyan's arrogant personality, how could she possibly fancy you?" Su Yuyan said via Sound Transmission.

"What's wrong with fancying me? Aside from having a slightly lower cultivation level, how am I not good enough for her?" Yang Lingchen retorted.

"So you do know your cultivation level is a bit low! I thought you weren't aware of it!" Su Yuyan's voice carried a hint of mockery.

"A low cultivation level is only temporary. In this world, there is no woman I am not good enough for, including you!"

Yang Lingchen's tone carried an Aura of disdain for everything.

"Hmph! Your cultivation level isn't very high, but your skill at bragging has reached its peak."

The corners of Su Yuyan's mouth curled into a captivating arc. "You must have swindled quite a few girls with that mouth of yours, right?"

"Cough... cough!"

Yang Lingchen smiled awkwardly and said: "That's not true. I am known as an honest young gentleman."

"Whether it's true or not is your business."

After Su Yuyan finished speaking, her tone turned cold. "Don't try to use that act you put on in front of other women to swindle This Young Lady."

"Yes... yes!"

Yang Lingchen nodded quickly, then changed the subject. "By the way, Senior Sister Su, why was Tan Shaodu hunting you down in the Wentian Mountain Range that day?"

"That beast wanted to drug This Young Lady, but I discovered it." At the mention of Tan Shaodu, Su Yuyan's tone instantly became extremely cold.

"Then how did you resolve it later?"

Yang Lingchen chuckled, remembering that when he first saw Su Yuyan, there were clear signs that she had been drugged.

"Can't I resolve it myself?"

Su Yuyan glared coldly at Yang Lingchen. "Besides, I discovered it early, so the drug's effect wasn't very deep."

"You can resolve it yourself?"

Yang Lingchen's eyes widened. He really couldn't believe that such a pure woman would actually say something like that.

"So what if I resolve it myself?" Su Yuyan said coldly.

"No... nothing." Yang Lingchen suddenly blurted out, "Does it feel good?"

"What do you mean, does it feel good? This Young Lady spent half a day circulating my Qi to force out that damn Spring Poison. What is there to feel good about?" Su Yuyan frowned and said.

"So when you said you resolved it yourself, you meant by circulating your Qi!" Yang Lingchen suddenly realized.

"What else would it be?"

After Su Yuyan finished speaking, her face instantly flushed red. "scoundrel, despicable and shameless. Men are all trash."

"Yes... yes! I am a scoundrel."

Yang Lingchen quickly apologized and then began to change the subject. "Senior Sister Su, what do you want to bid on at the Auction today?"

"Let's just look around for now. If I see something I like, I'll bid on it." This time, Su Yuyan did not use Sound Transmission, but spoke directly.

"Senior Sister Su, you're going to cause trouble for me by doing that," Yang Lingchen said with a bitter smile.

Su Yuyan's appearance was truly too beautiful. From the moment she sat down, she had attracted the attention of quite a few people.

Now that she was no longer using Sound Transmission, many people at the scene immediately looked at Yang Lingchen with a hint of subtle hostility.

"Didn't you just say that in this world, there is no woman you aren't good enough for?"

Su Yuyan sneered and continued: "What? You're afraid just because I spoke to you? Are you even a man?"

"Who said I was afraid?" Yang Lingchen rubbed his nose and said.

"You said it yourself. This Young Lady will test you in a moment. I hope you can still be as arrogant then as you are now." The corners of Su Yuyan's mouth suddenly curled into an arc.

"How will you test me?" Yang Lingchen asked curiously. "If I pass your test, will there be any benefits?"

"No benefits." A faint smile, barely perceptible, curled at the corners of Su Yuyan's mouth.

"Then you'd better not test me. I'm very busy." Yang Lingchen smiled slyly.

"In your dreams. The test has already begun. Perform well!"

Su Yuyan smiled ambiguously, then gently rested her head on Yang Lingchen's shoulder.

"Is she trying to test my self-control?" Yang Lingchen thought to himself, looking completely bewildered.

Just at this moment, a handsome and outstanding young man with a straight posture walked over slowly.

Although the man wore a warm smile on his face, the sharp-eyed Yang Lingchen still caught a hint of coldness deep within his eyes.

"Junior Sister Su, I didn't expect to see you here."

Tan Shaodu's face was filled with a refreshing smile. "And who is this little brother?"

"Tan Shaodu, you're usually quite a smart person. Can't you see that he is my man?" Su Yuyan leaned her entire body against Yang Lingchen.

Seeing this, Yang Lingchen immediately understood what was going on; she was clearly using him as a shield.

So, he played along and gently wrapped his left arm around Su Yuyan's slender, soft waist.

"scoundrel, I will definitely chop off your claws later."

The moment Yang Lingchen's hand wrapped around her waist, Su Yuyan's delicate body trembled slightly, but she quickly regained her composure and leaned naturally into Yang Lingchen's embrace.

Facing the two's actions, a flash of gloom passed through Tan Shaodu's eyes. "I am Tan Shaodu. How should I address this little brother?"

"I am Lingchen, just a nobody," Yang Lingchen said with a smile.

The other party was a Saint of Wentian Palace, so naturally, he wouldn't reveal his real name just for a moment of posturing.

After all, his current strength was not enough to compete with him.

"Brother Ling is too modest. If you were a nobody, how could Junior Sister Su fancy you?"

Before figuring out the other party's identity, Tan Shaodu did not want to offend anyone casually. After all, Su Yuyan was no ordinary woman; the man she fancied must have an extraordinary status.

"I am indeed a nobody. The reason Yuyan was able to fancy me is actually because of an accident." Yang Lingchen revealed an ambiguous smile on his face.

"An accident?"

Surprise appeared on Tan Shaodu's face, then he smiled and said: "I wonder what kind of accident could allow little brother to win the beauty's heart?"

"That is a long story," Yang Lingchen said with a slight smile.

"Anyway, the Auction hasn't started yet. Why don't you tell me, Brother Ling?" Tan Shaodu said.

"Yuyan and I haven't known each other for long. At the time, I was gathering herbs in the Wentian Mountain Range when suddenly Yuyan rushed towards me, and then we... heh... heh..."

Yang Lingchen scratched his head, chuckled, and stopped right there.

"That really is an accident!"

Hearing this, Tan Shaodu's eyes gradually darkened. At this moment, he had the urge to kill Yang Lingchen.

He had gone to great lengths to administer the Spring Poison to Su Yuyan, and he never expected that this bastard would be the one to benefit in the end.

"That's right! Later I found out that Yuyan was actually suffering from Spring Poison at the time."

Yang Lingchen became more and more excited as he spoke, then continued: "I don't know which idiot administered that Spring Poison, but in the end, it benefited me. I still have to thank him, otherwise, how could I have won the beauty's heart?"

As soon as Yang Lingchen finished speaking, Tan Shaodu's expression gradually darkened. If it weren't for the fact that this was the Great Zhou Chamber of Commerce, he would have slapped Yang Lingchen to death long ago.
