From a distance, he saw two figures standing at either end of the forest, and the one hiding under a tree was clearly the lazy Long Fei.
"Everyone stop, I have some good news to share,"
Su Chen panted and said.
Leng Han ignored him, continuing to train in the clearing with "Thunderous Lightning," while Long Fei was still using the new skill Su Chen taught him, Wind Vortex, to knock apples from the tree. Curiously, he asked, "What’s the hurry? Is it a debt collector coming to ask for money?"
Su Chen twitched the corner of his mouth and smiled awkwardly, "Yeah, they’re looking for you. He said you owe him dozens of gold coins and haven’t paid back, and he’s ready to come after you."
Long Fei gave him a sideways glance, "Tsk, you’re kidding. At most, I’ve only ever owed a few silver coins, where would so much debt come from!"
Su Chen chuckled, "I’m not messing with you. In a few days, we’ll be going down the mountain for training!"
Upon hearing this, the wind vortex condensing in Long Fei’s palm suddenly vanished. Leng Han, radiating white light continuously, also abruptly stopped, and his expression changed slightly.
"What? Going down for training?"
Long Fei frowned slightly, holding several big red apples in his arms.
"Yeah, our senior brother just told me. I was planning to go back and get ready, and I thought I’d let you guys know too."
"Ah, another tough time ahead, oh no~" Long Fei closed his eyes and sighed, letting the apples fall to the ground.
Not far away, Leng Han had a faint cold smile on his lips, which Su Chen noticed, feeling a bit relieved. Though Leng Han was still as reticent, at least he wasn’t as hostile toward him anymore. Occasionally, they would even exchange a few words, which comforted Su Chen.
Seeing Leng Han’s reaction, Long Fei immediately became disheartened, "Ah, should’ve just lost completely, then I wouldn’t have to follow you two for training."
Su Chen shook his head and turned to walk out of the forest...
"Su Chen, are you really going down for training? Can I come along?"
Yue Xianling cuddled the Nine-tailed Flower Raccoon, looking at Su Chen lying on the grass.
Su Chen shook his head, "Probably not, besides, would your master allow you to leave the mountain?"
Yue Xianling’s face instantly darkened, "Yeah, my mother definitely won’t let me go down, what should I do."
"Senior Sister, just stay on the mountain with peace of mind. We should return soon."
Yue Xianling pouted unhappily, looking at the other side of the lake, unwillingly said, "But I want to follow you. If you leave, I won’t have anyone to play with..."
Su Chen smiled gently, sat up from the grass, and caught whiffs of the pleasant fragrance from Yue Xianling, he suddenly felt reluctant to part.
"I will miss you too, Senior Sister, hehe..."
Su Chen said with a warm smile.
Yue Xianling was taken aback, then a glimmer of light appeared in her eyes, she suddenly reached out and cupped Su Chen’s face, gently pinching it, "When you’re down the mountain, you’re not allowed to speak with other girls, understand?"
Su Chen deliberately made a pitiful expression, "Understood, my dear Senior Sister."
Yue Xianling finally smiled, "Good, you should only think about me, remember me. If I find out you’ve spoken to some other girl, I definitely won’t forgive you."
The gentle breeze blew, ruffling the bangs on her forehead, bringing with it a breathtaking sense of coyness, which captivated Su Chen again. But just then, an unharmonious cold laugh came across suddenly!
"Wow, what a romantic couple, having a little love talk in such a beautiful place, huh huh!"
Su Chen was startled, hurriedly looking toward the path they came from, and saw the cute girl in a red tight dress standing under a lush tree, grinning at them.
Her sweet appearance, unique attire, and mellifluous voice instantly made Yue Xianling’s face turn slightly pale.
"Oh, I’m Su Chen’s little wife, specially came to discuss something with him!"
Qi Ling sauntered towards them with relaxed steps.
Su Chen’s mouth twitched violently, his gaze involuntarily glanced at Yue Xianling. Sure enough, her face turned even whiter, her expression already carrying some doubt and displeasure.
"Senior Sister, I don’t know her, don’t listen to her nonsense!"
Su Chen quickly explained.
"Really, you heartless scoundrel, only a few years here and you’ve forgotten all about me. Boohoo, aren’t all men just bad,"
Qi Ling stood before them, intentionally putting on a sad face.
This left Su Chen completely stunned. He had never encountered such a situation before, and seeing the angry-faced Yue Xianling, he stammered a bit, "She’s talking nonsense, Senior... Senior Sister, don’t believe her!"
Yue Xianling was about to speak, but Qi Ling interrupted again, "Look at you so nervous, if you’re not guilty, what is it? You fickle little rascal, we’ve done everything together, yet you still treat me so heartlessly. I, I don’t want to live anymore..."
"Done everything together?"
Yue Xianling’s eyes widened in disbelief, trembling slightly.
Su Chen’s face turned pale, shaking his head incessantly, "Senior Sister, I haven’t..."
"Darling, stop denying it, you did it after all, it’s not something to be ashamed of, besides, I’m the victim..."
"Enough, don’t say anymore."
Yue Xianling suddenly spoke coldly, then gave Su Chen a frosty look before turning around to leave.
"Senior Sister, don’t listen to her nonsense, I really don’t know her!"
Su Chen followed behind, anxiously explaining. But Yue Xianling didn’t look back, suddenly quickening her pace, running ahead.
