497: Are you confessing your feelings?

"Young Master Yang is too kind. For Wentian Palace to produce a Genius like Young Master Yang, it seems Wentian Palace will surely achieve a good result in this Ranking Battle of the ten great powers."

Although Dong Chenyang had a warm smile on his face, giving off a very kind impression, the keen Yang Lingchen still captured a cold glint deep within his eyes.

"Young Master Dong overpraises me. My cultivation level is low; I'm only here to participate in the Ranking Battle to broaden my horizons and don't dare to think too much about the ranking."

Yang Lingchen's gaze was calm, and his tone was very humble, but his hands were tightly wrapped around Su Yuyan's waist.

Since Su Yuyan wanted him to be a shield, he naturally had to be professional about it; otherwise, it wouldn't be good if the other party saw through it.

"Young Master Yang, Young Miss Su, I have other matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave first. This is my sound transmission jade. If anything happens in this East Emperor City, you can find me at any time."

Although he hated Yang Lingchen so much his teeth itched, a faint smile still remained on Dong Chenyang's face.

With his handsome appearance and elegant temperament, someone who didn't know him would easily be impressed by his demeanor.

"Fuck, he really knows how to put on an act."

Yang Lingchen cursed inwardly and said, "Thank you, Young Master Dong. Since you have things to do, we'll be going now."

Subsequently, Yang Lingchen held Su Yuyan and walked toward the Residence where Wentian Palace was staying.

"How much longer do you want to keep holding me?"

Su Yuyan's exquisite face revealed a hint of playfulness.

"If you don't object, I'd like to keep holding you forever," Yang Lingchen grinned.

"Aren't you going to take your hand away?"

Seeing Yang Lingchen still holding her waist, Su Yuyan spoke with a playful pout.

"Wait a bit longer. That kid hasn't gone far yet; don't let him find out."

Yang Lingchen raised an eyebrow and smiled, still tightly holding Su Yuyan, with no intention of letting go.

"How does it feel?"

Su Yuyan asked coquettishly.

"The feel is quite good. The waist is very slender and soft, just the type I like, but...!"

Yang Lingchen gave a wicked smile and stopped talking.

"But what?"

Su Yuyan's brows furrowed slightly as she looked at Yang Lingchen curiously.

"If there weren't clothes in the way, I think it would feel even better."

Yang Lingchen raised an eyebrow and smiled, the corners of his mouth curling up into a faint, lingering grin.

"scoundrel, you wish."

Su Yuyan pouted and quickly brushed Yang Lingchen's hand away.

"By the way, Sister Yuyan, why were you walking with that guy?" Yang Lingchen asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Don't mention it. That guy is like a stalker. Ever since we arrived at East Emperor City, whenever I go out, I always somehow run into him."

Su Yuyan's brows furrowed slightly, her face showing a hint of displeasure.

"That guy is no good. Try to have as little to do with him as possible in the future." Yang Lingchen frowned slightly.

"How is he no good? I think he's quite polite." Su Yuyan smiled faintly.

"What you see is just the surface. This guy is definitely not as simple as you think," Yang Lingchen said seriously.

"According to you, there probably aren't any good men in this world except for you." Su Yuyan burst into laughter.

"You're right. Besides me, there really aren't any good men in this world. Only I am worthy of you." Yang Lingchen gave a wicked smile.

"Are you confessing your love?"

Su Yuyan's beautiful eyes flickered with a hint of expectation as she looked directly at Yang Lingchen.

"This doesn't count as a confession." Yang Lingchen smiled wickedly. "If I confess, you'll need to pay a price."

"I have to pay a price? What price?" Su Yuyan smiled sweetly.

"Your body."

Yang Lingchen leaned his head close to Su Yuyan's ear.

"Pervert, why is your head full of such thoughts?"

Su Yuyan pouted, her exquisite face turning bright red.

The two of them returned to the Wentian Palace stronghold.

"How did you Cultivate, kid?"

When he saw Yang Lingchen, shock flickered in Chen Daotian's eyes.

He really couldn't figure out how, in just three or four months, Yang Lingchen's cultivation level had gone from the first layer of the Xuanzun Realm to a Breakthrough to the fifth layer of the Xuanzun Realm.

In his view, this cultivation speed was simply too exaggerated.

"I was lucky enough to get some Heaven And Earth Treasure, plus the divine origin crystal you gave me, so I had a Breakthrough."

Yang Lingchen scratched his head and said.

"It's good that you had a Breakthrough."

Chen Daotian nodded with satisfaction. "With your current cultivation level and Cross-Rank Challenge ability, entering the top forty of the Ranking Battle shouldn't be much of a problem."

"I even want to become the champion!" Yang Lingchen smiled calmly.

"champion? You have quite a grand goal, kid!"

Chen Daotian laughed, then said solemnly, "It's good to have that thought, but it won't be that easy to become the champion."

"Senior, how is the strength of the contestants in this Ranking Battle?" Yang Lingchen asked.

"The strength of the contestants in this Ranking Battle far exceeds previous ones. Especially those from the Four Great Super Factions; many of them have already reached the Myriad Illusions Realm, and some individuals have even reached the cultivation level of the Third Layer of the Myriad Illusion Realm."

Chen Daotian explained.

"By the way, Senior, what are the rewards for the champion of this Ranking Battle?"

Yang Lingchen was quite interested in the champion's rewards.

"The rewards for the champion this time are very rich. It's said the champion can get six divine origin crystals, the second place four divine origin crystals, and the third place two divine origin crystals."

Chen Daotian paused and then continued:

"Additionally, the top fifty will get the chance to enter the Divine Origin Pool for baptism. This opportunity is very important for you. If you can enter the Divine Origin Pool for a baptism once, your Physical Body, Soul, and cultivation level can all be improved to a certain extent."

"If you can get a good ranking, it will also be a great honor for our Wentian Palace, as it relates to our Wentian Palace's ranking among the ten great factions."

"Don't worry, Senior. Since this is a Ranking Battle, our Wentian Palace will surely get a good ranking."

Yang Lingchen's eyes shone with confidence. If this was a Ranking Battle and the contestants from the Four Great Super Factions only had cultivation levels at the first or second layer of the Myriad Illusions Realm, then he would definitely take the champion title.

Afterward, Su Yuyan introduced several Senior Brothers to Yang Lingchen. These Senior Brothers were the contestants representing Wentian Palace this time.

"Hello, Senior Brothers," Yang Lingchen greeted politely.

"Senior Brother Yang, you should call us Junior Brothers instead! Your strength is much higher than ours."

A chubby young man spoke up. His name was Chen Xiao, and because he was quite fat, everyone called him Pang Dun.

The other two were named Liu Neng and Zhang Kunpeng.

The three of them were quite respectful toward Yang Lingchen; after all, this was a world where strength was respected.

In the evening, the Residence where Wentian Palace was staying received an invitation from the Eastern Emperor Pavilion.

It was written on it, inviting the young generation of Prodigies from Wentian Palace to attend the Prodigy Feast at the Rose Garden.

"Lingchen, should we go?"

Su Yuyan looked at Yang Lingchen.

Unknowingly, she had already started to treat Yang Lingchen as the backbone.

"It's good to go and see. Everyone can just happen to understand the strength of their opponents in advance," Yang Lingchen said.

Originally, he wouldn't have been interested in this kind of gathering, but if they didn't go, it would be hard for the others from Wentian Palace to avoid being looked down upon.

As for whether he would be recognized by Summer First Snow and Snow Heartless, he didn't care. In any case, it was impossible for him to admit to having the yellow springs diagram.

Even if someone wanted to cause him trouble, Yang Lingchen wasn't afraid. With his current strength and the Yin Soldiers in the yellow springs diagram, if he was determined to escape, ordinary people really couldn't catch him.

After all, if hundreds of thousands of Yin Soldiers rushed forward, ordinary people really couldn't withstand it, and as long as the Yin Soldiers held the opponent back for a while, Yang Lingchen could take the opportunity to escape.

Afterward, everyone returned to their respective rooms. Since they were attending a banquet, they still had to pay attention to their image.
