Chapter 118: Chapter 118: Qin Wan Er (third update, please reward)

The next evening.

Ling Chen and Ling Wu left the True Martial Academy and arrived at a luxurious mansion in the northern part of Zhenwu Prefecture City.

This was the residence of one of Zhenwu Prefecture’s six most prestigious families, the Qin Family.

Ling Wu presented the invitation, and the two of them entered Qin Mansion.

"Little Wu, you’re here!"

A young girl dressed in a simple and elegant gown greeted them, her beautiful eyes shone brightly, and her pretty face was full of smiles.

What Ling Chen found strange was that her smile seemed to contain a strange meaning.

"Wan Er sister!"

Ling Wu smiled sweetly.

"Who is this?"

Qin Wan Er looked at Ling Chen, and a trace of vigilance flashed in her eyes.

Ling Wu hastily introduced: "This is my brother, Ling Chen."

In front of others, the two referred to each other as siblings.

Hearing this, the wariness in Qin Wan Er’s eyes vanished, she cast a peculiar glance at Ling Chen and said, "Oh, so you are Little Wu’s brother. I’ve often heard her mention you!"

"Really?"

Ling Chen smiled and said, "Little Wu has mentioned you, too!"

He could sense Qin Wan Er’s cultivation level; she was probably at the early eighth layer of the Spirit Sea Realm.

Hearing from Little Wu that this lady possessed a Super Spiritual Body, the Wind Spirit Body.

Ling Chen was not surprised that she had reached such a cultivation level at eighteen years old.

After all, this lady had been nurtured by both the Qin Family and the True Martial Academy.

"Is that so?"

Qin Wan Er’s beautiful eyes lit up again: "Well then, you two go ahead inside, I’ll go welcome the other guests."

"Okay, sister Wan Er, you go ahead and be busy."

Ling Wu quickly nodded, then took Ling Chen into the banquet.

The banquet was held in the back garden of the Qin Mansion.

By the time the two entered, many young people were already engaging in pleasant conversations.

The two of them didn’t bother to pay attention to the others and directly found a secluded place to sit down.

They chatted and enjoyed the delicious food on the table.

"Miss Ling?"

A young man in brocade robes came over and greeted Ling Wu with a cupped-fist salute.

Ling Wu quickly stood up and returned the greeting: "Greetings, Senior Gu!"

"Miss Ling, please don’t stand on ceremony."

The young man in brocade robes said with a smile.

His name was Gu Lin, a genius from one of the six prestigious families, the Gu Family.

He possessed a Wood Spirit Body and was also a Divine Thought Master.

The only cultivator in the True Martial Academy who practiced both Spiritual Power and Divine Soul concurrently!

"Miss Ling, why are you sitting here? Come on, sit with me in the front."

Gu Lin invited.

Ling Wu shook her head and smiled, "No need, Senior Gu, I’m fine sitting here."

"How can that be? You’re not only a core student now but also a disciple of Vice Palace Master Wu, representing the face of the Palace Master! Let’s sit in the front, shall we?"

Gu Lin insisted.

"Senior Gu, really, there’s no need."

Ling Wu refused once more.

She had always been a maid and was not accustomed to being the center of attention.

Plus, she wanted to spend more time talking with Ling Chen here.

"Senior, if she doesn’t want to go over, don’t force her."

At this moment, Ling Chen suddenly spoke up.

How could he not see that Gu Lin was interested in Ling Wu?

Such an invitation was nothing more than an attempt to foster a closer relationship.

"Senior?"

Gu Lin’s gaze sharpened, and then he coldly said, "Who are you to call me Senior?"

He didn’t feel any trace of Spiritual Power from Ling Chen, and given Ling Chen’s young age, even if he had entered the True Martial Academy, he would be nothing more than an outer palace student.

A mere outer palace student dared to address him as senior?

Hearing this, Ling Chen’s expression instantly turned cold.

He didn’t expect that he would be insulted by someone just by attending a banquet?

"Get lost!"

Ling Chen shouted coldly.

"Brat, you’re courting death!"

Gu Lin’s eyes narrowed slightly, coldly staring at Ling Chen.

"Gu Lin, please leave and do not bother us!"

At this time, Ling Wu also spoke in a cold voice.

She was polite to Gu Lin simply because he joined the Central Palace earlier than him.

Gu Lin was stunned, and then he understood.

This pretty boy probably had a rather deep relationship with Ling Wu.

Unexpectedly, for this guy’s sake, Ling Wu actually rebuked him out loud.

He was a Divine Thought Master, and moreover, a medium-grade Divine Thought Master!

"Hmph!"

Gu Lin snorted coldly, glaring fiercely at Ling Chen before turning to leave.

Although he had feelings for Ling Wu, he was, after all, a Divine Thought Master with his own dignity. After being scolded, there was no face for him to stay here any longer!

"Xiao Wu, try to have less to do with such people in the future."

Ling Chen smiled.

"Mhm."

Ling Wu nodded.

Gu Lin had not yet walked far when this voice clearly fell into his ears, causing him suddenly to pause his steps.

"Boy, it seems like you need a good lesson for not knowing the vastness of heaven and earth! A genius like Ling Wu is not someone an ordinary person like you can touch?"

Gu Lin had already made up his mind.

After Gu Lin left, people came over to greet them one after another.

Ye Xun from the Ye Family, one of the six great noble families, possessing a Gold and Earth Dual Attribute Spiritual Body.

Yu Huai from the Yu Family, one of the six great noble families, with the Super Spiritual Body, Ice Spirit Body.

Bai Wangchuan from the Bai Family, one of the six great noble families, with the Super Spiritual Body, Yin Fire Spirit Body.

"Ling Chen, how did you come here? Did Qin Wan Er also invite you?"

A familiar and surprised voice came over.

It was Chen Mo.

Although Chen Mo was an outer palace student, he possessed the Thunder Spirit Body and being a genius of the Chen Family, one of the six great noble families, he was naturally on the invitation list.

"I came with Xiao Wu."

Ling Chen said with a smile.

"Oh, I forgot. Miss Ling, your sister, has a good relationship with Qin Wan Er!"

Chen Mo nodded and then added, "By the way, how is it? Are you getting used to the Central Palace?"

"Getting used to it!"

Ling Chen smiled, "Apart from living in a bigger place, there’s not much difference from the outer palace."

Chen Mo suddenly glanced at Ling Wu and pulled Ling Chen aside, saying in a low voice, "Ling Chen, you’d better keep your sister away from Qin Wan Er."

"Why?"

Ling Chen was somewhat surprised.

"It’s not very nice to say, but in any case, make sure your sister doesn’t get too close to Qin Wan Er."

Chen Mo gave Ling Chen a deep look.

Ling Chen glared at Chen Mo, threateningly said, "Speak up if you’ve got something to say, what kind of man hesitates and mumbles? In the future, do you not want me to guide you in practicing Spirit Art?"

"Brother Chen, don’t be like that!"

Chen Mo immediately looked dejected and hurriedly said, "Will I do if I just say it?"

He leaned close to Ling Chen’s ear and whispered, "It’s rumored that Qin Wan Er doesn’t like men, do you understand now?"

"Oh!"

Ling Chen suddenly had an epiphany.

No wonder upon first meeting, Qin Wan Er’s gaze at him seemed a bit strange, now he understood, it was a bit like the feeling of looking at a romantic rival!

"Don’t say it was me who told you!"

Chen Mo quickly said.

"Understood."

Ling Chen nodded.

He naturally would not be a blabbermouth.

"It seems that I’ll have to find a time to remind Xiao Wu."

Ling Chen felt somewhat depressed.

The main issue was that it was rather difficult to broach such a topic!

An hour later, the entire banquet livened up.

Almost everyone invited had arrived.

Most of them were core students from the True Martial Academy!

It was indeed a gathering of geniuses, with experts like clouds.

Even, some from the Primordial Pill Realm had graced the event.

At this moment, a middle-aged male steward came over and said to Ling Chen, "Young master, please show your invitation. Seats here are arranged according to the invitations. If you do not have an invitation, then we can only ask you to stand."

Not far away, Gu Lin was smiling as he watched this scene.
