154: the truth

With Xiao Qian's shout, Long Yiyi and the others also noticed An Xueshi, who was about to walk away.

Regarding An Xueshi, Long Yiyi felt a bit annoyed; basically, everything about her rubbed her the wrong way.

After chatting with Xia Weiyu for a bit, she felt that Xia Weiyu wasn't a bad person.

This was an opportunity; she felt she needed to investigate thoroughly and clear up the cause and effect.

After all, this was her own brother; she had to personally vet any potential sister-in-law.

"Xia Weiyu, we came looking for you this time because An Xueshi was bullied by you, so we came to stand up for her."

"But we only know she was bullied; we don't know the specific reasons at all. Can you tell me the whole story?"

Xia Weiyu looked at An Xueshi and asked:

"Bullying? Where did that come from? You say we bullied you, then go ahead and say it, I'm listening!"

An Xueshi was a bit panicked:

"Um, can I go to the bathroom first? I really have to go. I'll tell you when I get back, or you can ask her first."

As An Xueshi tried to leave, Long Yiyi sensed something was wrong and grabbed her hand, having no intention of letting go.

Since she refused to speak, Xiao Qian told the truth for her: "She's just a vixen who tried to seduce my master but failed and got caught."

"Do you think we were wrong to teach her a lesson?"

"I bet she's trying to get revenge on us because her seduction failed, so she told you some nonsense."

"Don't believe her!"

"Seduction?"

Hearing this, Long Yiyi felt even more need to get to the bottom of things. Her brother was interested in her, setting aside her conduct, talent, and personality for a moment.

If she was this kind of improper woman, she would be the first to object.

"Of course, meow!"

"You're slandering me!"

"The chat logs are the evidence. If you have the guts, pull up the chat logs with my master."

"Facts as evidence are more convincing than the words of a cat."

Long Yiyi's expression was cold, but she couldn't just take one side's word for it: "An Xueshi, can we take a look?"

"My phone is dead."

Xiao Qian chuckled: "It doesn't matter if it's dead, Su Chen's phone has the records too. It's the same regardless of whose we look at."

...On the other side, an Old Man watched the battle here.

If Su Chen saw him, he would definitely recognize him as the Old Man from the train, Zhang Yunfeng.

Zhang Yunfeng watched the two of them fight and nodded in praise; neither of them was weak.

He had personally taught Long Hanjie, so he naturally knew his strength well, believing it hard to find an opponent in the same rank.

He hadn't expected him to be beaten like this by a young man a whole Realm lower today.

He was at a disadvantage, and he was losing in a contest of spear techniques.

Long Hanjie's fighting style was bold and sweeping, and he was already using life-risking Moves.

Su Chen's spear technique was just as impressive; although it lacked some finishing Moves, its speed and variability made it impossible for Long Hanjie to cope.

Let's end it here. If this continues and he actually loses, Long Hanjie's mentality might crumble, affecting his upcoming Breakthrough to the Fifth Rank.

Zhang Yunfeng's figure flickered, and in the blink of an eye, he was in the center of the battlefield, his withered hands grasping both their spears.

With just that one grip, the two spears seemed as if they were embedded in the ground, unable to Move an inch.

"Let's stop here. We still have to go and assemble."

Seeing his mentor come to intervene, Long Hanjie first withdrew his hand and cupped his fists:

"I didn't get my fill this time. I'll definitely show you next time!"

"Go back and practice more."

"You!"

Long Hanjie clenched his fists in anger, but seeing Zhang Yunfeng staring at him, he lost his temper and took back his spear, saying solemnly:

"I wasn't in good form today, which let you get the upper hand. Do you really think you can beat me?"

"If it were a life-and-death struggle, I could kill you in one Move."

"Don't think this was my full power!"

"I haven't used any of my trump cards; I was just purely sparring in spear techniques with you just now. I haven't even used my Ability."

"You didn't use yours, as if I used mine."

Their bickering gave Zhang Yunfeng a headache: "Are you two ever going to stop?"

...The two of them stopped fighting, while on the other side, Long Yiyi dragged An Xueshi over to demand an explanation.

"Su Chen, let me see your chat logs with her."

"Why do you want to see that?"

Seeing An Xueshi frantically winking at him, Su Chen understood.

It seemed Xia Weiyu hadn't been idle and had explained everything.

"My phone is dead."

'Ding! Gained favorability from An Xueshi, lottery ticket +5.'

Having made a small profit, Su Chen added: "But I have a power bank, and it just charged a bit. If you want to see, you'd better hurry."

'Ding! Gained favorability from Xia Weiyu, lottery ticket +666.'

'Ding! Gained...'

Su Chen opened the records and showed them to Long Yiyi. Seeing that she was so angry she was about to crush the phone, Su Chen quickly snatched it back.

"Vixen! You go around seducing people, and now you even dare to target my brother!"

"It's fake, it must be fabricated!"

"I never said these things; he must have faked them!"

An Xueshi flatly denied it.

Zhang Yunfeng questioned: "What's going on?"

After listening to their explanations, although he didn't know the truth, after just one day together, he could conclude that An Xueshi was no good.

"Actually, she and I share a bunk bed. Seeing how strong and healthy I am, she even wanted to sleep with me."

As soon as these words came out, Long Hanjie's worldview crumbled, and Long Yiyi and the others were speechless with shock.

"Old Man, you're wronging me!"

"How is it wronging you? You definitely said those words back then. In the middle of the night while I was sleeping soundly, you woke me up and blurted that out."

"If it were for my strong willpower, I really would have been seduced by you."

"You guys!"

"Fine! You dare to seduce my brother!"

"Slap!"

Long Yiyi didn't have a good temper. At this point, there was no reason to wait; she slapped An Xueshi down and straddled her, delivering a barrage of slaps to her face.

Xu Shaoqing and the others tried to break up the fight, and An Xueshi took the opportunity to run away.

But Long Yiyi had no intention of letting it go, chasing after her with a shoe in hand.

The two of them ran further and further away until they finally disappeared, with only a few faint screams audible... Long Hanjie still didn't understand why his sister had suddenly started hitting An Xueshi.

When he learned the reason and realized he had actually been deceived, he found it hard to accept.

He didn't believe An Xueshi was that kind of person, but with the chat logs as evidence, those eye-searing words made his heart ache like it was being cut by a knife.

He couldn't associate this person with the 'White Moonlight' he knew; he couldn't believe they were the same person.

"Calm down, you've only known her for a day. You haven't lost anything."

"I just find it a bit hard to accept."

Su Chen comforted him: "It's fine, there are plenty of good girls. How about this, I'll introduce you to someone else, definitely the thrifty and home-oriented type."

With everyone trying to persuade him, Long Hanjie became even more despondent.

Instead, Zhang Yunfeng came over, kicked Long Hanjie's butt, and scolded:

"The Otherworld has not yet been pacified, yet here you are talking about romance! Tell me, can falling in love make you stronger?"

"Su Chen, you tell me, can falling in love make you stronger?"

Yes.

Yes—that word... Su Chen ultimately couldn't say it. Saying it now would be like rubbing cumin into Long Hanjie's wounds.

"Long Hanjie, a man's ambition should span the world. If you fall, you must stand back up. What's with this despondency?"

Stand up and take an oath with me. I'll lead: I, Su Chen, am irreconcilable with gambling and drugs!..."

After hearing this, Long Hanjie also swore: "I, Long Hanjie, am irreconcilable with Pornography, gambling, and drugs. Until the Otherworld is pacified, I will absolutely never consider romance again."

'Ding! Gained favorability from Long Hanjie, lottery ticket +100.'
