771: Huang Ruoyu was jealous

"Since you refuse to return the apology to me, that means you have already accepted my apology."

"Miss Qiao, from today on, let the misunderstanding between us be water under the bridge. It would be best if we could become friends, but if we cannot, I also hope we do not become enemies," Yang Lingchen said earnestly.

Then, he cupped his hands toward Ji Tiantian and said, "Miss Ji, it is a pleasure to meet you, and thank you for helping us resolve these conflicts."

"You are welcome."

Ji Tiantian smiled sweetly, then looked at Yun Mengyao and giggled, "Mengyao, you have quite good taste."

"Thank you," Yun Mengyao smiled faintly.

"Miss Ji, we will be going now!"

After finishing, Yang Lingchen took Yun Mengyao's hand and headed downstairs.

"Sister Tiantian, why did you help them?" Qiao Yanxi said aggrievedly.

"Yanxi, I am actually helping you! With Yang Lingchen's current strength, it is impossible for you to cripple him, not to mention that Yun Mengyao is also by his side. If we really started fighting, we wouldn't gain any advantage," Ji Tiantian said.

"But letting him off just like this, isn't it letting him off too easily?" Qiao Yanxi asked.

"We are all young people; it is better to resolve minor misunderstandings. If we get entangled over small matters, we will only be adding a powerful enemy to ourselves."

Ji Tiantian continued, "Think about it, what was his cultivation level when we first met him, and look at his cultivation level today. For a Genius of this level, it is much better to be friends than enemies."

"Sister Tiantian, I know what you are saying makes sense, but the sight of this bastard just makes me angry," Qiao Yanxi said coquettishly.

"You don't have a crush on him, do you?" Ji Tiantian smiled amusedly.

"I have a crush on him? What kind of joke is that? Even if every other man in the world died, I would never fancy him," Qiao Yanxi pouted and said.

"Then why do you always trouble him? Isn't it to get his attention?" Ji Tiantian laughed.

"Sister Tiantian, it is clearly you who likes him, okay? Why are you dragging me into this? Otherwise, why would you have spoken up for him just now?"

Qiao Yanxi said, "And every time you look at him, your eyes are so gentle they are almost dripping with water. I really don't know what is so good about that guy."

"Stop guessing wildly. I just admire his talent!" Ji Tiantian said with a smile.

"Sister Tiantian, do you think I don't know that you have been a looks-obsessed person since you were little? Baili Jianyun's talent is good enough, right? If you only appreciated talent, you wouldn't have run away with me to avoid the arranged marriage," Qiao Yanxi said coquettishly.

"Although Baili Jianyun's talent is good, he is not the type I like," Ji Tiantian smiled sweetly and said.

"Then what kind do you like?" Qiao Yanxi asked curiously.

"You know I am obsessed with looks, so my man must definitely be a handsome guy!" Ji Tiantian laughed.

"Alright! And then?" Qiao Yanxi said.

"His age cannot be too old, preferably around the same as mine. And the most important point, I must have feelings for him," Ji Tiantian said with a smile.

"Why do I feel like you are talking about Yang Lingchen?" Qiao Yanxi frowned and said.

"Stop guessing blindly, let's hurry down!"

...

"Lingchen, did you really reach the ninety-ninth floor?"

Surprise appeared in Yun Mengyao's eyes.

She, Ji Tiantian, and Qiao Yanxi had been on the eighty-eighth floor, so they did not know that Yang Lingchen had already reached the top floor of the Immortal Spirit Pagoda.

"Yes," Yang Lingchen nodded.

"I didn't expect your cultivation level to have broken through to the Earth Immortal Realm Fourth Layer?" Yun Mengyao asked curiously.

"Yes, I didn't expect it either. This trip to the Immortal Spirit Pagoda was a huge gain for us," Yang Lingchen said with a smile.

Soon, they arrived at the eighty-fifth floor.

At this moment, a familiar voice reached Yang Lingchen's ears.

"Boss, why are you here?" Yuwen Chengfeng looked at Yang Lingchen with a tired face.

"Chengfeng, I didn't expect you to have climbed to the eighty-fifth floor," Yang Lingchen said with a smile.

"Boss, compared to you, what is this?" Yuwen Chengfeng chuckled and said, "Boss, is this my sister-in-law?"

"Yes," Yang Lingchen acknowledged.

"Greetings, Sister-in-law Mengyao," Yuwen Chengfeng quickly called out, "Boss, you are too awesome."

Seeing Yuwen Chengfeng address her as sister-in-law, Yun Mengyao did not refute it; instead, a hint of sweetness rose in her heart.

"Are you Cultivating here, or are you coming down with us?" Yang Lingchen asked.

"I was just about to go down too; I can't climb any higher," Yuwen Chengfeng said.

"Then we will go down together."

Afterwards, the three of them headed down.

"Brother-in-law, we are here!"

Just as Yang Lingchen walked to the eighty-third floor, he heard Huang Ruochen's voice. His heart trembled instantly, and he thought to himself, "Damn, Brother Ruochen! This is the rhythm of getting me killed!"

"What is your relationship with Huang Ruoyu?" Indeed, as soon as Huang Ruochen finished speaking, a chill instantly radiated from Yun Mengyao.

"She is my Senior Sister!" Yang Lingchen quickly said.

"Then why does he call you brother-in-law?" Yun Mengyao said coldly.

"Brother-in-law, what is your relationship with Yun Mengyao?" Huang Ruochen asked with an astonished expression, "You didn't really win her over, did you?"

Indeed, as soon as Huang Ruochen finished speaking, Yun Mengyao's face instantly turned cold, and the atmosphere at the scene began to become subtle.

"Brother Ruochen, can you please shut your mouth?"

Yang Lingchen looked depressed, then quickly said to Yun Mengyao, "Mengyao, Senior Sister Huang and I are innocent. Brother Ruochen calling me brother-in-law is just a joke."

"Boss, I have something to do, I'm retreating first," Yuwen Chengfeng saw the atmosphere was wrong, finished speaking, and headed straight downstairs.

"Yang Lingchen, what do you mean?" Huang Ruoyu walked over, her beautiful eyes looking coldly at Yang Lingchen.

"Senior Sister Huang, I absolutely did not mean to offend you!" Yang Lingchen quickly said.

"Then what do you mean? Before, Ruochen was always calling you brother-in-law; have you ever refused?" Huang Ruoyu's tone was forceful and carried a hint of pressure.

"No," Yang Lingchen said helplessly.

"Why tell him to shut his mouth now? Do you feel that him calling you brother-in-law affects you? Or do you feel that I, Huang Ruoyu, am not worthy of you?" Huang Ruoyu looked coldly at Yang Lingchen.

"Senior Sister Huang, I… absolutely do not mean that." At this moment, Yang Lingchen had a splitting headache.

"Yang Lingchen, what else do you have to say now? Are you sure you have nothing to do with her?" Yun Mengyao said coldly.

"Sister, brother-in-law, my stomach is a bit uncomfortable, I'll go down first, you guys talk." Huang Ruochen saw the situation was bad and dashed downstairs in a flash; he did not want to be cannon fodder here.
