Chapter 787: Chapter 787: You’re Not Going to Kill Me to Silence Me, Are You?

"Speak up, where did you go last night?"

Xia Wanxin said unhappily. In fact, flashes of that purple figure had already passed through her mind, that woman who was so feminine.

But Xia Wanxin didn’t want to confront it directly; she wanted Lin Chen to admit it himself.

"Can you two just drop it? Do you know what time it is? The Red Soul Hall and the Dark Demon Race’s armies could attack at any moment. I need to go back into seclusion to prepare some formation materials."

Lin Chen said, looking at the two women with some anger.

Last night, having been forcibly taken by Liu Qingxia and restrained, Lin Chen felt his dignity violated, and now, returning only to endure these two women’s questioning, his anger erupted instantly.

"You..."

When Xia Wanxin heard Lin Chen yell at her so loudly, she shut her mouth immediately, but her eyes, gazing at Lin Chen, turned watery.

In these three years, she had already seen herself as Lin Chen’s woman, and sometimes Lin Chen would also tolerate her mischief. Although Lin Chen had never formally acknowledged their relationship, their friendship had grown deep.

But Lin Chen’s attitude today made her feel aggrieved.

"As expected, Lin Chen has forgotten about his old love now that he has a new one."

"Indeed, I can’t compare to that woman. Lin Chen prefers her, he doesn’t like us anymore."

Xia Wanxin, hugging Qiu Ya, cried sorrowfully.

Seeing this, Qiu Ya also felt aggrieved, but having not been born a princess, she didn’t react as intensely as Xia Wanxin. Instead, she thought Liu Qingxia must have taken a fancy to Lin Chen.

"Alright, alright, I didn’t mean to yell at you, please..."

Seeing Xia Wanxin, a Second Layer Martial Artist of the Heavenly Human Realm, cry, Lin Chen knew he had been too loud and began to apologize.

However, his apology only made Xia Wanxin cry even harder, and she threw herself into Lin Chen’s arms.

Lin Chen, at a loss, didn’t know how to comfort her, so he could only gently stroke her hair and tell her not to cry, that it wouldn’t happen again in the future.

But this gesture only made Xia Wanxin cry even more.

Lin Chen turned to Qiu Ya for help, but Qiu Ya, biting her lip, looked at Xia Wanxin with a touch of envy, then shook her head.

She knew the best way to comfort Xia Wanxin was to embrace her tightly.

In the end, it took Lin Chen an enormous effort to soothe Xia Wanxin.

Lin Chen sighed in his heart; this was the very reason he had always avoided confirming a relationship with the women he liked. If he had to face such crying every day, how could he cultivate or make progress on the Martial Path?

This was even more painful and troublesome than going into battle. Lin Chen simply couldn’t bear to watch women cry.

After soothing Xia Wanxin, Lin Chen rested briefly before stepping out of the tent again, this time truly going to scout the terrain.

During his terrain scouting, Lin Chen ran into Mu Qianqiu.

Mu Qianqiu was obsessed with the sword path. Her pursuit of swordsmanship was fervent; she was also deeply fascinated with military tactics and strategy, hence she would scout the terrain several times a day.

Seeing Lin Chen also here brought a faint smile to her lips.

She was, of course, aware of what happened last night.

"Hall Master Mu, nothing out of the ordinary last night, I hope?"

Lin Chen asked Mu Qianqiu flatly.

Last night, Lin Chen had been taken away by Liu Qingxia while scouting the terrain, so he hadn’t completed all his scouting work and was unaware if the Red Soul Hall’s army had made any moves.

"Nothing out of the ordinary, except that you were taken away by Sect Master Liu."

Mu Qianqiu said to Lin Chen, speaking placidly.

Hearing this, Lin Chen felt embarrassed and wished he could find a hole to crawl into.

This incident had become the subject of jokes among the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron and Dragon Fang Instrument Spirit, and Master Qingxu nearly joined in as well.

As a man, having been overpowered by a woman, especially from below, unable to move, was indeed embarrassing.

"Nephew Lin Chen, what exactly did you and Sect Master Liu do in the woods last night? I know you didn’t come back until this morning."

Mu Qianqiu looked at Lin Chen with curiosity in her eyes.

She knew Lin Chen very well.

In the past three years, there had been no shortage of beautiful women around Lin Chen, but he hadn’t touched any of them.

Liu Qingxia, as the Sect Master of the Divine Flame Sect and the number one beauty of the Eastern Domain, was famous far and wide. Not only was she unparalleled in appearance, but she was also an exceptionally talented woman.

However, she had no interest in the charms of men and was a rather elegant lady.

Seeing Liu Qingxia take Lin Chen away the night before, as if they were Dao Companions who had been apart for long and were eager to meet, aroused great curiosity in Mu Qianqiu.

"Hall Master Mu, how can you also..."

"Let’s just let this matter rest, don’t bring it up again. I’ve had enough headaches for today."

Lin Chen looked at Mu Qianqiu deeply. He had always seen Mu Qianqiu as a very aloof person, disinterested in anything other than swordsmanship, but today he had seen a different side of her.

"Hall Master Mu, about last night, no one else saw anything, right?"

Lin Chen asked Mu Qianqiu, still speaking flatly.

Although it wasn’t a big deal, it certainly wasn’t trivial either. Considering that Liu Qingxia was the most beautiful woman in the Eastern Domain, and countless important figures were enamored with her, if they found out Liu Qingxia had lost her honor to Lin Chen, it could spell trouble for him.

"No one else saw. Why? You’re not thinking of killing me to silence me, are you?"

Mu Qianqiu looked at Lin Chen and said with a light smile, jokingly.

Lin Chen, hearing this, felt speechless. Today he had fully realized that the usually aloof Mu Qianqiu had this side to her as well.
