It was a bit too Heaven-Defying.
Yun Zhonghe scratched his head. Honestly, it was hard for him to explain. He couldn't possibly tell Youyue Zhenren that this was a special skill he learned in a game in his past life, could he?
After pondering for a moment, Yun Zhonghe could only say, "Nothing else, just proficiency."
This was the most shameless explanation.
However, Youyue Zhenren was startled and clearly believed him.
Perhaps Yun Zhonghe was the Reincarnation of a powerful Sword Cultivator.
She developed a sense of admiration for Yun Zhonghe and was very much looking forward to what further developments he would have in the future.
At that moment, Yun Zhonghe saw the sweet and fragrant smile of the aloof beauty that he had only seen in game CGs.
What it meant to charm a city with a single smile, Yun Zhonghe finally understood the weight of these four words. He was somewhat dazed by the sight.
"I really look forward to seeing you at Xuantian Sect."
Having said that, Youyue Zhenren floated up to the high platform.
Leaving behind the dazed Yun Zhonghe.
Looking forward to seeing you at Xuantian Sect.
Wait, wasn't this the famous line that the hidden female lead, Bai Zhen, said to Huang Aotian when entering Youyue Zhenren's hidden route in the game!
After this line, the game plot would enter a brand new storyline, revolving around the protagonist's Master, Bai Zhen.
After that, there would be all sorts of love-hate relationships, yuri developments, Qzone space, and so on...
But why would she say this to him!
No way!!!
Cold sweat broke out on Yun Zhonghe's forehead. At this moment, Mu Jixue, who was nearby, also noticed Yun Zhonghe's abnormal gaze.
"Hey, what are you doing! Why are you staring at my Master!"
Mu Jixue smacked Yun Zhonghe on the lower back, not allowing him to peek at her Master anymore.
"Look again, and I'll gouge out your eyeballs!"
Yun Zhonghe was called back to his senses by Huang Aotian's shout. Yun Zhonghe looked at the short loli barking below him, and his expression involuntarily returned to indifference.
"Don't worry, I won't look, I'll only look at you."
Having said that, Yun Zhonghe walked onto his own arena platform.
Mu Jixue was stunned. Immediately after, she chased after Yun Zhonghe with bared fangs and claws, shouting as she chased, "You guy, what nonsense did you just say to me!"
Yun Zhonghe walked ahead, Mu Jixue chased behind, and only Lin Zhongyu remained rooted to the spot.
Just now, she had also witnessed Yun Zhonghe's gaze towards Youyue Zhenren and his frankness towards Mu Jixue. She felt that something was a little strange, but couldn't quite put her finger on it.
Yun seemed to care a lot about both of them!
If you were to ask what these two had in common...
"Yun, are you really more interested in that kind..."
Lin Zhongyu lowered her head and looked at her flat chest.
Youyue Zhenren, big!
Mu Jixue, big!
Lin Zhongyu... small, very cute.
Lin Zhongyu's heart was instantly in a mess.
"No, no, no, what am I thinking? Yun is an upright person, how could he be that kind of frivolous person? I should just focus on the upcoming competition first."
She reminded herself not to overthink and to fully concentrate on welcoming the final test, not to let down the efforts of both Mu Jixue and Yun Zhonghe.
Chapter Forty-Eight: Come Stay At My Place, My Bed Is Big And Comfortable
The rest of the ceremony had almost no suspense.
Yun Zhonghe became famous in one battle. After instantly killing Lin Feng without injury, he directly intimidated the other contestants, and almost no one dared to challenge him.
That is, only one person went up with a try-it-out mentality, but upon seeing the golden light flowing from Yun Zhonghe's fingertips once again, he immediately surrendered.
He could feel that Yun Zhonghe's Sword Qi could completely tear him to shreds.
After this, Yun Zhonghe remained on the arena platform until the end of the competition and successfully obtained a spot as a formal Xuantian Sect Disciple.
On Lin Zhongyu's side, the competition was more intense.
Relying on the spiritual energy visualization ability brought by the Golden Emperor Sacred Eyes, as well as her exquisite and skilled combat techniques and evasion skills, she successfully defeated an arena Master within thirty rounds.
After that, she fought four challengers in a row, firmly holding the position of arena Master in her hands, leaving no opportunity for other contestants.
If Yun Zhonghe's side was the invincible flow, then Lin Zhongyu's side was the most orthodox passionate comeback flow.
Fighting all the way, just like countless passionate protagonists in feel-good novels, it felt like she was about to run out of spiritual energy, yet she was impossible to defeat. Her endurance was astonishing, embodying perseverance.
Even Yun Zhonghe was infected by her battle and wanted to experience such a passionate fight.
Unfortunately, it's lonely at the top, and no one challenged him.
Finally, the time limit was up.
Yun Zhonghe, Lin Zhongyu, and another passerby whose name is not worth mentioning, successfully secured formal spots!
Although the Lin Family suffered a great scandal during this selection ceremony, it still couldn't overshadow Lin Zhongyu's astonishing performance.
She fought valiantly against five people to win a spot, and just half a month ago, she was a nobody. Who would have thought that today she would transform into a Phoenix?
Lin Zhongyu's story will surely become a widely told tale in Cangzhou City, serving as spiritual nourishment for countless discouraged young men and women.
Especially the line, "Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river, don't bully a poor young woman," which was later widely spread by countless people.
This made Yun Zhonghe not want to return home several times.
Of course, that was a story for later.
...
After the ceremony, there should have been a celebration banquet.
If a Family's descendant successfully entered Xuantian Sect, the Family would hold a grand banquet to entertain distinguished guests.
However, Yun Zhonghe and the others had important matters to attend to, so they didn't participate.
He and Mu Jixue immediately took Lin Zhongyu to the Immortal Alliance to cooperate with the investigation.
"Xiao Yu, if they bully you, you must tell me!"
"Xue'er, don't worry unnecessarily, I'll be fine."
Mu Jixue was always very worried about Lin Zhongyu, as if Lin Zhongyu was about to travel far away, reluctant to part and giving countless instructions.
As for Yun Zhonghe, he had already gone ahead and arranged for Tao Jiu'er to smooth things over.
Of course, it definitely wasn't bribing officials to directly acquit Lin Zhongyu, but just hoping they could take good care of Lin Zhongyu and not let her suffer.
Arranging better food, and during the interrogation, placing her in an interrogation room with a good environment. Moreover, Lin Zhongyu had just fought five intense battles. Even if they don't give her a chance to recover her spiritual energy, they should at least give her a bed to recover her physical strength, right?
All in all, it was considered from a humanitarian perspective, reasonable, rational, and legal. At worst, Yun Zhonghe could use his small personal fund to upgrade the facilities for Lin Zhongyu.
Having money makes your words carry weight.
"Mu Guniang, don't worry, Lin won't suffer inside."
Yun Zhonghe also said this casually to make Mu Jixue feel more at ease.
But the intelligent Lin Zhongyu heard more.
Yun Zhonghe never spoke falsely. Since it was something he confirmed, it must be something he had already arranged. Otherwise, he would have used an ambiguous tone.
She knew in her heart that Yun Zhonghe must have used his connections to help her again.
She felt like she owed Yun more and more favors and didn't know if she could ever repay them all.
Lin Zhongyu: "Then Xue'er, Yun, I'll go first. You two stay busy, I'll be back soon. Also, Xue'er, don't argue with Yun, be good and wait for me to come back."
Before leaving, Lin Zhongyu didn't forget to remind Mu Jixue.
"Uh, I, why do I have to argue with him!"
Mu Jixue complained. Although she hadn't completely let down her guard against Yun Zhonghe, Yun Zhonghe had indeed helped a lot today. She, Mu Jixue, was not someone who would forget kindness and betray loyalty.
No matter how much she disliked him, she would force herself to tolerate it.
Mu Jixue puffed up her cheeks slightly in annoyance. She glanced at Yun Zhonghe, then said, "I'll get along with him properly."
Mu Jixue reluctantly listed Yun Zhonghe as "sort of a friend."
This was the biggest concession she had made.
Lin Zhongyu nodded in satisfaction. After saying goodbye to the two of them one last time, she entered the interrogation room with the Immortal Alliance law enforcement officers.
Watching Lin Zhongyu being taken away, Mu Jixue's face still showed some worry.
Seeing the two girls having such a good relationship, Yun Zhonghe felt quite relieved.
"Alright, Xiao Yu has gone in. I can just wait here by myself. Yun... Yun, you should go back and rest first."
Mu Jixue stammered. She completely avoided looking at Yun Zhonghe's face when she spoke.
She wasn't used to being alone with Yun Zhonghe. When standing next to him, she always felt like she was about to be completely devoured and that everything she had was going to be plundered by Yun Zhonghe.
She didn't know why she had this feeling.
However, she still changed her way of addressing Yun Zhonghe, no longer using impolite terms like "you guy," but respectfully calling him "Yun," just like Lin Zhongyu.
Mm, Yun Zhonghe is indeed quite big.
"I'll wait here together too. If I go back, there'll be another pile of things, and I also want to rest properly."
Yun Zhonghe also wanted to stay.
Mu Jixue was so annoyed. Why was this Yun Zhonghe always sticking to her and Xiao Yu like chewing gum, impossible to shake off?
She wanted to chase Yun Zhonghe away, but then she remembered Xiao Yu's warning before leaving, and could only angrily swallow the words that were about to come out.
"Suit yourself."
Yun Zhonghe also realized that this White-haired Loli seemed to be acting temperamental again.
Sigh, it's so difficult. Is it really that hard for Huang Mao and Huang Aotian to get along harmoniously? We're clearly the same, both so concerned about the female leads, so why do we have to be hostile to each other?
The two of us should become good brothers.
Yun Zhonghe began to think about how to further close the distance between himself and this White-haired Loli.
Immediately after, his eyes suddenly lit up as he thought of something, then he quietly said to Mu Jixue, "Do you want to come stay at my place?"
Mu Jixue: ???
Mu Jixue stiffly turned her neck towards Yun Zhonghe. At first, she had a bewildered expression, with big question marks appearing above her head, thinking she had misheard.
Seeing that she didn't seem to understand, Yun Zhonghe repeated again, "Didn't you fall out with the Lin Family? Come stay at my place, my bed is big and comfortable."
This time, Mu Jixue finally understood.
But at the same time, her face instantly turned red.
"You, you, you, you... what nonsense are you saying! Unreasonable!"
Chapter Forty-Nine: Being A Good Brother Is Not Easy
Those beautiful purple eyes slightly flickered with light, like tears welling up. The feeling of shame and indignation made Mu Jixue feel as if she had been teased.
She had just changed her opinion of Yun Zhonghe, and as soon as Xiao Yu was gone, he immediately showed his true colors!
She knew it! How could a person like Yun Zhonghe have good intentions? This guy was a complete and utter scoundrel!
"Shameless! Lecherous! You scoundrel..."
Mu Jixue's little fists pounded on Yun Zhonghe's chest. She was too loud, attracting the attention of many Immortal Alliance law enforcement officers. Yun Zhonghe could only helplessly grab her flailing fist with one hand and cover her mouth with the other, cornering her.
Mu Jixue was terrified, thinking that Yun Zhonghe was going to take liberties with her in broad daylight.
