Chapter 954: Chapter 954: Vying for Attention and Jealousy

"The matter with Bodhi Hall has already been settled, but Lei Hao is not so easy to deal with. After all, he is the Young Sect Master of Central State Flying Crane Sect. What are you planning to do?"

After Lin Chen took care of the affairs of the Bodhi Hall, Liu Qingxia asked with concern.

Although Lin Chen had used the power of Giants and many strong fighters to defeat Lei Hao, Lei Hao was the Young Sect Master of the great power of Central State Flying Crane Sect. Having thoroughly offended and angered him, Lin Chen knew he would not let things rest.

Keep in mind, the Flying Crane Sect is not on the same level as Bodhi Hall; dealing with them will be even more troublesome.

"Flying Crane Sect? What can Lei Hao do? Daring to compete with me over a woman, the fact that I didn’t kill him was because he ran fast. If he dares to come to the Eastern Domain again, I naturally have ways to deal with him."

Lin Chen replied nonchalantly to Liu Qingxia, signaling her not to worry.

Liu Qingxia couldn’t truly feel at ease after hearing that, but Lin Chen’s words did make her feel somewhat better.

After all, she had already witnessed Lin Chen’s strength; if Lei Hao were to truly lead an assault, Lin Chen would at least have some means to save his life.

"Hey, Junior Brother Lin Chen, how did you get involved with her? I’m very curious."

"Why don’t you share the story, so I can learn something?"

As Lin Chen and Liu Qingxia were discussing the matter of Lei Hao, Yan Ruyu’s voice suddenly rang out from behind Lin Chen.

Lin Chen turned around to find Yan Ruyu looking at him with a smile.

However, Lin Chen felt that there was something odd about Yan Ruyu’s smile.

Glancing at Liu Qingxia, her aura also seemed a bit off.

"It seems you’re quite popular in the Formation Sect."

Liu Qingxia looked at Lin Chen and said with a light smile.

Upon hearing this, Lin Chen was startled, sensing that the atmosphere was a bit off.

Were these two women... getting jealous over him?

Lin Chen suddenly felt a headache, and this was just with Yan Ruyu alone—if in the future Liu Qingxia followed him back to the Jade Cauldron Sect and met Xu Lianyu, Wang Yilin, and others, he couldn’t even begin to imagine the scene.

"Senior Sister Ruyu, please stop joking around here."

Lin Chen looked at Yan Ruyu and hastily signaled with his eyes, asking her not to speak nonsense in front of Liu Qingxia.

After all, nothing had actually happened between Lin Chen and Yan Ruyu.

As for the incident on Black Cloud Mountain years ago, that was all a misunderstanding.

However, Yan Ruyu seemed to have no intention of letting Lin Chen off, intending to hold him accountable based on past misunderstandings. After all, as a woman, one would not easily show weakness in front of someone they liked.

"Joking? What did you do to me on Black Cloud Mountain? Are you trying to deny it, Junior Brother Lin Chen?"

"How come you can take responsibility for her, but not for me?"

Yan Ruyu said seriously while looking at Lin Chen.

At these words, Lin Chen immediately lost his composure.

Liu Qingxia’s gaze also trembled slightly as she looked towards Lin Chen.

Evidently, she thought Lin Chen was the type of man who left affections everywhere; she had actually thought Lin Chen was naive in matters between men and women.

It seems she was the one who was naive.

"What... what did I do to you?"

"Senior Sister Ruyu, you can’t wrong a good person!"

Lin Chen said earnestly to Yan Ruyu.

Since Yan Ruyu wanted to bring up this issue, and in front of Liu Qingxia no less, Lin Chen decided to lay it all out—after all, he truly hadn’t done anything inappropriate to Yan Ruyu, so he doesn’t need to take responsibility.

"You’re still talking? That day on Black Cloud Mountain, I was injured by a Magical Beast, and you took advantage of the situation to place restrictions on me, rendering my Spiritual Power unusable and my body immobile. The following events, do you want me to recount them in detail?"

"You know that men and women should not touch each other; having had physical contact with me, you should take responsibility!"

Yan Ruyu, provoked by Lin Chen’s response, even for the sake of love, no longer cared about reservations and spelled out the situation plainly.

Had Liu Qingxia not appeared, Yan Ruyu might not have reacted like this. But now Liu Qingxia’s presence posed a great threat to her.

After all, Liu Qingxia was considered the foremost beauty of the Eastern Domain, and Yan Ruyu did not think she could compare with her.

She feared that Lin Chen would become stricter with her in the future, and then no other women would approach him.

Considering Lin Chen’s innocence in matters involving the opposite sex, Yan Ruyu worried she might never be able to establish an intimate relationship with him.

Thus, she decided to take a stand.

"I..."

Upon hearing Yan Ruyu’s words, Lin Chen was at a loss for words.

Although Yan Ruyu’s accusations were somewhat exaggerated, they were not entirely false. Lin Chen had indeed placed restrictions on her, but only as a precaution to prevent her from harming him.

However, Lin Chen had not done anything untoward to Yan Ruyu.

"What are you—tell me if it’s true!"

Yan Ruyu again pressed Lin Chen with a stern question.

Upon hearing this, Liu Qingxia’s gaze also fell on Lin Chen, wanting to know if he had indeed behaved in such a manner.

"I did place restrictions on you, but... I haven’t done anything inappropriate to you, don’t falsely accuse me!"

Lin Chen replied calmly, but before he finished speaking, the atmosphere became even more awkward.

"I’m falsely accusing you?"

"Do you think I would use my own chastity to falsely accuse you? What do you take me, Yan Ruyu, for?"

"Think about it, after you placed restrictions on me, you brought your face close to mine, you wanted to..."

Yan Ruyu didn’t continue, but those around already understood her implication.

Especially Liu Qingxia; she hadn’t expected Lin Chen to have such a history of romantic exploits.

Lin Chen looked at the meaningful expressions on the faces around him, feeling helpless inside.

He truly hadn’t done anything, but for a man to place such restrictions on a woman and to lean in close to her, it was something that couldn’t just be explained away.

Although at that time, Lin Chen only wanted to intimidate Yan Ruyu.

"Lin Chen, are you really such an irresponsible man?"

"In the Divine Flame Secret Realm, you let the Demon Wolf capture me, saying I’d be your little wife; do you dare to claim you never did such a thing? Junior Sister Jiang was also present, and she can bear witness."

Yan Ruyu’s accusations grew more severe, and Lin Chen’s situation became increasingly awkward.
