Chapter 47 Chapter 47 A Bunch of Friends in the Phone

Before leaving, the Li Family siblings exchanged contact information with Yan Yu as friends.

On the way back to the hotel, Li Zhaojiang started to urge persistently:

"Sister! That Yan Yu clearly has no good intentions. It's fine that you added him as a friend, but if he comes to chat with you later, you mustn't be swayed by his sweet talk."

"How does he have no good intentions?" Li Minghu asked in surprise, "Didn't he let you win during today's competition?"

"He did not let me win!" Li Zhaojiang said indignantly, "He could have won but deliberately dragged out the time; it was clearly a ploy to humiliate me!"

"Alright, you don't need to worry excessively," Li Minghu sighed, "Your sister is always sickly, so it's unlikely someone would take an interest in her."

Li Zhaojiang was immediately at a loss for words.

It's true that he was overprotective of his sister, but he wasn't the extreme kind that you'd find in a medical drama. Deep down, he actually hoped that his sister would one day find happiness that belonged only to her.

Of course, to be worthy of my sister, you would at least have to pass 100 tests set by her little brother. Otherwise, how could you claim to really love my sister?

But seeing his sister in such a state of resignation was exactly what Li Zhaojiang did not want to see.

So what if she's ill? My sister is beautiful and has a great personality, and she's gentle and considerate. As a wife, she's definitely going to be a good and wise mother. How could any man not like her?

"Not really," Li Zhaojiang hurriedly backpedaled, "Actually, during dinner just now, Yan Yu kept stealing glances at you. That's the reason I'm upset... He must have been charmed by you!"

"Really?" Li Minghu questioned skeptically.

"It's true!" Li Zhaojiang nodded vigorously, "Otherwise, why would he add you as a friend? Sister, just wait and see, he'll definitely come to chat with you within three days!"

"Then I'll just wait and see if what you say comes true," Li Minghu said with a slight smile, steering the conversation away.

After walking for a while longer, Li Zhaojiang began to feel uneasy.

Wait, what if Yan Yu really doesn't send my sister a message for three consecutive days?

Could it be? My sister's so pretty, and she agreed to add you as a friend, you can't possibly be indifferent, right?

Seeing Li Zhaojiang's alternating expressions of hope and worry, Li Minghu didn't say anything more, just sighed softly to herself.

Her brother might not be exceptionally talented, and with his honest and straightforward personality, his path as a cultivator could be unpredictable and fraught with both good and bad fortune.

She wanted to protect him from the storms of life, but with her body frail from disease, how much further could she go?

The current generation of cultivators in the Annan Army didn't have top-notch talents like Yan Yu or Liu Longtao.

If she could become good friends with Yan Yu, and once she was gone from this world if he became a big shot in the military of Lu Country, she could ask him to look after her brother...

Li Minghu pondered over these guardianship plans and then suddenly pulled out her phone to check WeChat.

Hmm, she had indeed accepted his friend request, and his nickname was "Win People Over with Virtue."

Hope he really is a virtuous man worth getting to know better...

Back at the hotel, when Yan Yu used his room card to enter his room, he was greeted by a Demonic Sect Enchantress who had arrived unannounced and was sitting on his bed, looking angry.

Zhao Yuanzhen.

Arms crossed and face as cold as frost, she looked like a wife furious over her husband's absence in the night, which made Yan Yu's scalp tingle—how did you get in without a room card?

Illegally using the Wall-Penetration Technique, I see!

"Where have you been tonight?" Zhao Yuanzhen asked coldly.

"Went off to have a good time with women," Yan Yu replied irritably. Continue reading at empire

The emphasis was on one having no right to ask, and the other not providing a serious answer.

Zhao Yuanzhen was taken aback at first, and then her face turned pale with shock:

"You've been drained by someone?"

"...You're crazy," Yan Yu said exasperatedly, his head tingling from her bizarre line of thought, "Didn't I send a message to you guys? I just went for dinner."

Zhao Yuanzhen was at a loss for words.

Thank goodness, as long as you haven't been drained, that's fine. If my dao companion, Mi Zhen Xianzi, had his essence stolen by some wild woman ruining my plans for dual cultivation... Even if there's a risk of being discovered by Mei Yingxue, I would have to obliterate her completely, as that's the only way to quell the rage in my heart!

"It's only nine o'clock in the evening," Yan Yu checked the time, "It's not time for cultivation yet, so why have you come to my room so early?"

"I've used up all my mobile data," Zhao Yuanzhen said indignantly, "You need to buy me some."

Yan Yu: .........

What kind of Demonic Sect Enchantress thinking is this? If you've run out of mobile data, just pay for a higher package yourself!

"The hotel room has WiFi." He casually picked up the sign by the bed and tossed it over.

"I checked, there wasn't any... huh? There really is." Zhao Yuanzhen caught the sign and indeed saw the WiFi account and password written in an inconspicuous line at the bottom.

"What did you do to use up all your data?" Yan Yu frowned and asked.

"When you went out to dinner tonight, I used my phone to watch TV shows in the hotel." Zhao Yuanzhen replied, "I had finished watching the episodes that I had downloaded earlier, so I just started downloading new ones, and then suddenly, I ran out of data halfway through the download."

"It seems that you've got no brains left!" Yan Yu was furious, "Couldn't you wait until I came back to download them if you couldn't find the WiFi? You just had to download videos with your data, huh!"

"I didn't know if you were coming back tonight," Zhao Yuanzhen said grievously.

"I told you it was just for a meal!" Yan Yu said impatiently, "Would I have to stay overnight at a restaurant for a meal? Do you even think?"

"Maybe they pretended to invite you to dinner, but they were actually plotting to harvest you for nourishment?" Zhao Yuanzhen seriously suggested.

"That's enough. Why is your brain full of such dirty thoughts? If you can't restrain yourself, just grab a pillow. We haven't reached that stage of dual cultivation yet."

Yan Yu decided not to let her spout any more nonsense. After all, it was reasonable for someone raised in the harsh environment of the Demonic Sect to think differently than ordinary people.

As long as she didn't go on a killing spree, he decided to just let her have her eccentric moments.

"Oh, by the way!" Zhao Yuanzhen's mind flipped, and she dropped a malicious hint, "Tonight, Chen Lingyun was asked out to dinner by that man called Liu Longtao."

"I know," Yan Yu said lazily.

"Alone with a man, a private rendezvous, there must be something improper going on!" Zhao Yuanzhen chuckled coldly, spicing up the story, "What an indecent woman!"

Yan Yu saw through her attempt to stir up trouble and sighed:

"It's not a private rendezvous. It's a group dinner with people from their second-generation circle, about a dozen of them."

"How do you know?" Zhao Yuanzhen immediately became alert.

"Because she sent me photos."

"Why would she need to send photos specifically to you?"

"Perhaps because her mobile data is too plentiful, after all, she is the esteemed young mistress from Jianghai Prefecture."

Yan Yu took off his shoes, laid down on the bed, unlocked his phone, and saw a line of new message notifications.

Ignoring the spam group messages like "Happy Family" or "Zhendong College Cultivators", there were three people who had actually sent him messages.

There was no need to check Zhao Yuanzhen's messages; he knew they would be her asking, "When are you coming back?" since the good quality of a Demonic Sect Enchantress was being suspicious and cunning.

Chen Lingyun sent a bunch of photos, some of tables and some of friends around her... Yan Yu had no desire to open them, he just scanned them and exited.

Then there was Anna, who had added him the night before, first asking "Are you there?" and then taking the liberty of saying a lot of nonsense, like "We were seen by a neighbor at the hotel entrance," "Dad went to check the registration records over there," "I'm already so annoyed by his questioning"...

Why don't you just tell the truth? Say you fell into the river and I happened to pass by and pull you out! With such a shilly-shallying and indecisive character, how are you going to stand on your own feet in cold, harsh Siberia?

Think about it, won't you?

But ignoring her probably meant losing hard-earned goodwill, because at that point, the two of them were really not close.

So, Yan Yu had no choice but to suppress his annoyance and patiently edit a message to reassure her:

"Just tell the truth. If he still doesn't believe you, tell him to call me, and I'll explain."

Meanwhile, Anna locked herself in her room. After her father, who had been nagging at the door, left, she lay down on the bed, spacing out.

It wasn't until Yan Yu sent her a message that she picked up her phone and nearly swore out loud.

What did he mean by "Just tell the truth"? If I tell my father that I "fell into the water," won't he start thinking about suicide attempts?

And what's this "I will explain to him"? Who is he to me to explain things to my father? So, I suppose the more you explain, the messier it gets, huh!

Anna stared at the phone for a long time, realizing that she couldn't convey her "fierce attitude" through the device, she simply clicked "video call," planning to straighten things out face-to-face while finding a vent for her pent-up negative emotions.

In the hotel, Yan Yu saw the video call invitation and immediately clicked "decline" firmly.

Zhao Yuanzhen, the old vinegar jar, was right next to him, how could he possibly video call with you!
