Chapter 3 - Love is a Ray of Light

"Senior Brother Chen, I think I've already made my stance about the engagement very clear. Our engagement was an agreement between our families, not my own will. As such, I hope that you will stop bothering me in the future."

F*ck, so ruthless!

Lu Yuan, who was hiding on the cliff wall, heard the entire conversation in the room.

Without a doubt, the person who was saying this should be the senior sister who offered to let him be a gigolo.

The other person in front of her was the senior sister's unlucky fiancé.

Although Lu Yuan really wanted to see what was going on inside, he was also clear about the consequences of doing so.

If he was caught eavesdropping, that would just be courting death.

Thus, he suppressed his curiosity to peek and tried not to make a sound.

"I'm a rock, I'm a rock. I'm not breathing, and I don't have a heartbeat..."

Under such self-hypnosis, Lu Yuan felt as if he had really turned into a stone!

Although the two people in the room were celestial cultivators, they shouldn't notice a "rock".

Putting aside a certain someone's self-comfort, Ye Tingyu narrowed her eyes after looking around for a moment.

After she confirmed that Lu Yuan had indeed hidden well, she turned to look at the man in front of her.

This man was her fiancé in the mortal world, Chen Yan.

In terms of appearance, Chen Yan's appearance was ordinary, and there was nothing special about his temperament.

Compared to Lu Yuan's handsome appearance, the two were simply not on the same level.

One look and one could tell that Chen Yan wasn't the type to live off a woman!

Of course, Ye Tingyu was not a shallow person who only cared about looks. What really attracted her to Lu Yuan was not his looks, but something else. Otherwise, she, a dignified Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator, wouldn't have been so nice to a Qi Cultivation Stage disciple.

After hearing Ye Tingyu's words, Chen Yan, the most passionate person in Qingyun Sect, immediately looked sad.

"Junior Sister Ye, you've changed... You've become different from before."

Hearing this, Ye Tingyu's lips curved up, "Senior Brother Chen, I'm not the only one who has changed. Haven't you changed as well?"

Chen Yan looked at his childhood sweetheart. His mouth opened and closed, but he held back whatever was on the tip of his tongue.

Her appearance was the same, but her personality and way of doing things were completely different from when she was in the mortal world.

Back in the mortal world, the other party had always called him Brother Chen.

But now, not only was Ye Tingyu keeping a distance from him, but she also rarely contacted her family who was back in the mortal world.

Chen Yan felt that Ye Tingyu was trying to express her attitude firmly.

She was showing that in order to break off the engagement with him, she was even willing to cut off all ties with her family.

The purpose of this was to avoid being coerced by the elders of the family.

Thinking of this, Chen Yan's eyes became even dimmer as if they had lost their light.

After a while, Chen Yan said in a hoarse voice, "Junior Sister Ye, could it be that you were just saying those words for fun back then? Do you really not have any feelings for me?"

Ye Tingyu sat on the edge of the bed with her arms crossed and the corners of her lips raised slightly, "Senior Brother Chen, the words of a child are not believable. I really don't have any feelings for you now... That includes sympathy."

Wow...

When Lu Yuan, who was by the window, heard this, he took in a sharp intake of cold air.

Oh my God, such ruthless words.

Sure enough, the natural enemy of childhood sweethearts these days was someone who suddenly appeared in their lives. 

As the "someone who suddenly appeared", Lu Yuan had "stolen" their relationship...

Even though Ye Tingyu had already said such harsh words, Chen Yan still didn't seem to want to give up.

He pulled himself together and said firmly, "Junior Sister Ye, even though you've said so, I still won't give up. As long as the engagement is not called off, you are still my fiancée. I believe that time will prove everything. It will prove that I am the one most suitable for you."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Yan turned around and prepared to leave.

However, just as Chen Yan walked to the door, Ye Tingyu suddenly spoke, "Senior Brother Chen, the door is for guests, and you are clearly not my guest."

Hearing this, Chen Yan's face froze. To think she didn't even let him leave through the door. Did this mean that he wasn't even a person in her eyes ...

If it was someone else, they might have already flown into a rage out of humiliation.

However, if it was a bootlicker, the result would be completely different.

Chen Yan looked at the charming woman who was sitting on the bed and hesitated for a moment before saying, "Alright, then I won't leave through the door."

Ye Tingyu's smile grew wider as she looked at Chen Yan, who had even abandoned his dignity.

However, when a certain someone heard that Chen Yan wasn't going to leave through the door, he immediately panicked.

Wait, wait, wait!

If the senior brother didn't use the door, where else could he go?

Could it be...

Very quickly, Lu Yuan heard footsteps nearing from the window. It was obvious that someone was approaching.

Danger, danger, danger!

When he realized that Chen Yan was about to leave through the window, Lu Yuan hurriedly started to look for a place to hide.

Unfortunately, there was no place to hide there.

Chen Yan jumped out of the window and was about to fly on his sword when he seemed to have noticed something out of the corner of his eye and subconsciously turned his head to look.

What entered his eyes was a pale, handsome man in a sleeping robe.

The two of them looked at each other, and the situation was just awkward.

Lu Yuan looked at Chen Yan, whose face had turned from ashen to dumbfounded.

He smiled awkwardly but politely and said, "It's a long night, and I didn't feel like sleeping. I thought I was the only one who couldn't sleep, but it turns out that you can't sleep either, Senior Brother Chen! Senior brother, please don't misunderstand. I just think that this is a good place to admire the moon. But it's late at night, after all, so I'd better head in first."

Chen Yan was speechless.

Ye Tingyu was speechless too.

As Lu Yuan moved towards the window, he pretended to be calm and said, "Take care, Senior Brother Chen. I won't be seeing you off."

As soon as he finished speaking, under Chen Yan's dumbfounded gaze, Lu Yuan turned around and entered the room in one smooth motion!

However, the moment Lu Yuan entered the room, a terrifying flame came from behind.

Lu Yuan instantly felt an intense threat.

Danger, danger, danger!

The ball of fire was only 0.01 cm away from his throat, but after a quarter of a second, the fire could no longer threaten him, because he made a God-forbidden decision.

Although Lu Yuan had made many decisions in his life, this decision was the most perfect one he had ever made.

"Senior sister, save me!"

"Chen Yan! Don't you dare kill a fellow disciple in my residence!"

Accompanied by a furious roar, the fierce flame finally stopped 0.01 cm in front of Lu Yuan and stayed outside the residence.

Chen Yan stood in the flames, his expression gloomy.

If not for the primordial yin aura he sensed from Ye Tingyu, Chen Yan might gave already started a massacre by now.

To meet another man in his fiancée's room who was in disheveled clothing, if he had arrived one step later, wouldn't these two have...

The more he thought about it, the more furious Chen Yan became.

But at this moment, the voices of other Foundation Establishment Stage disciples came from outside the residence.

"Junior Brother Chen, why did you use your divine ability in Junior Sister Ye's residence?"

Chen Yan turned his head and found that a few Foundation Establishment Stage disciples who were passing by had sensed the spiritual energy fluctuations and hurriedly flew over.

Chen Yan hesitated for a moment and was reluctant to expose his embarrassing situation.

Hence, he dispersed his divine ability and said with a calm expression, "Sorry for disturbing you, senior brothers. I was just having a friendly match with Junior Sister Ye."

Although he said so, the other disciples looked at each other and felt that something was not right.

The reason why they had come over was not simply because they had felt the fluctuation of spiritual energy, but because they had felt killing intent.

The current situation was not as simple as a spar...

However, they were well aware of the relationship between Chen Yan and Ye Tingyu, so it was not appropriate for them to interfere.

Thus, the leading senior brother pondered for a moment and said, "Junior Brother Chen, please be considerate of your surroundings. The distance between this place and the main peak's hall is not that far away."

Chen Yan immediately understood his senior brother's warning.

If there was a conflict, he should settle it later. He shouldn't alert the elders on the main peak.

Chen Yan looked at the senior brother and said very politely, "Don't worry, senior brother. I know."

Seeing this, the disciples left after confirming that nothing would happen.

After all, it was obvious that the couple was having a conflict.

It was better for them not to get involved.

Thank God these disciples did not enter Ye Tingyu's residence. Otherwise, they would definitely see Lu Yuan who was hiding behind Ye Tingyu.

At that time, they would've understood what had happened.

After the Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators left, Chen Yan stopped his flying sword by the window.

"Junior Brother Lu, you're really my good junior brother," He said coldly, "We still have many days ahead of us." 

"Senior sister, he's threatening me!"

Chen Yan was speechless.

At this point, Ye Tingyu decided to be clear and frank.

"Chen Yan, this is my residence. I can invite whoever I want to. Aren't you being too nosy?"

Chen Yan didn't reply. Instead, he stared at Lu Yuan with a gaze as if he wanted to skin the latter alive.

It's over, it's all over. He was in big trouble now!

Lu Yuan, who had been made the scapegoat for no reason, felt like crying.

However, since things had come to this, he could only take this sudden incident seriously.

While Chen Yan and Ye Tingyu were confronting each other, Lu Yuan looked at their interfaces.

[Name: Chen Yan]

[Cultivation: Foundation Establishment Stage, level 3]

[Lifespan: 30/250]

[Cultivation Technique: Qingyun Technique (Foundation Establishment chapter)]

...

Seeing that the name on Ye Tingyu's panel was Meng Ruyan, Lu Yuan was dumbfounded.

Not only that, Ye Tingyu's cultivation technique and divine abilities were not from a righteous sect just by judging from their names.

Combined with what Chen Yan said about Ye Tingyu's change, Lu Yuan's heart was instantly filled with huge waves.

Could it be that the senior sister was, in fact, a spy planted by the enemy forces?

Could the reason behind the senior sister having her eyes on him be that she wanted to refine him into a furnace?

The more Lu Yuan thought about it, the more he felt that his guess was credible.

With this thought, Lu Yuan subconsciously took half a step back.

"Ye Tingyu", who had been confronting Chen Yan, subconsciously turned to look at L Lu Yuan when she sensed the movement behind her.

However, she didn't think too much about it, thinking that Lu Yuan was only frightened by Chen Yan.

Therefore, she comforted him calmly, "Junior Brother Lu, don't be afraid. With me around, Chen Yan can't hurt you."

The corner of Lu Yuan's mouth twitched as he thought to himself, "Damn it, I'm not afraid of him. I'm afraid of you, you man-eating demoness!"
