But Yang Chen held her hand and occasionally flirted with her.
This made her angry, but after that, her thoughts became clear. Yang Chen’s seemingly unrestrained nature was actually a hundred times stronger than those gentlemanly men. She did not feel that anyone else would remain indifferent to her after taking such a big advantage.
Who wouldn’t feel proud and mighty to have the Saintess of the Green Lotus Sect?
“Young Master Yang Chen, what do you want to command?” Qingyin asked.
“In the future, just call me Young Master Yang Chen when you see me. Also, there’s no need to be too enthusiastic with your attitude towards me. It makes our relationship seem too close, and others might become suspicious. Well… though you haven’t shown any change in expression towards me, don’t be too cold either. I don’t like it,” Yang Chen said lazily.
“I understand,” Qingyin said calmly.
She knew Yang Chen’s concerns, even if he didn’t say them. She didn’t want anyone else to know about her relationship with Yang Chen either.
Yang Chen glanced at Qingyin and said, “Miss Qingyin, you should be thankful that I’ve never sensed any malicious intent towards me from your eyes. Otherwise, with this Gold and Silver Dragon Plate, I could make you obey me for the rest of your life. But now there’s no need. I’ll only bind you until we leave the Black Dragon Sect. After that, you’ll go your way and I’ll go mine!”
“Are you serious with what you just said?” Qingyin asked.
“Huh?”
Qingyin quickly corrected herself, “Is Young Master Yang Chen serious about what he just said?”
“You see, that’s more like it. I don’t have many demands. If you talk sweetly, softly, and nicely, I won’t make things difficult for you,” Yang Chen grinned, “I must say, Miss Qingyin, you’re so beautiful! Why did you have to become a nun?”
If it was before, Qingyin would naturally be angry when asked by Yang Chen like this. But now, she couldn’t even get angry if she wanted to. She could only say, “The worldly matters bring much sorrow. To be away from the world is to be away from sorrow!”
“Your thinking is totally wrong. Who says being away from the world means being away from sorrow? Are you free from sorrow just because you’re away from the world?” Yang Chen asked.
Qingyin slowly said, “Young Master Yang, after I became a nun, I was indeed free of sorrow!”
“Well, I suppose so. But don’t you realize that while you’re free from sorrow, you’ve lost happiness too?” Yang Chen asked curiously.
“Happiness? How can I not have it?” Qingyin seemed to have her tail stepped on and hurriedly replied.
Yang Chen smirked, “If you’re really happy, why not show it on your face? Since I met you, your eyebrows have always been knitted. When have you ever relaxed them? Do you still want to deny what I said? Being away from the world indeed means being free from sorrow, but it also means being free from happiness. The purpose of life is to taste joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness. You, on the other hand, cannot taste any of those emotions. What’s the point of living?”
“Joy? What is joy?” Qingyin asked seriously.
Yang Chen stroked his chin, looking at Qingyin’s serious expression, and exclaimed, “You’re asking what joy is? It’s like when men and women do something enjoyable together. Isn’t that joy?”
“…”
Qingyin’s eyes showed a hint of resistance, and she didn’t know what to say.
Yang Chen laughed out loud, finding Qingyin’s expression very amusing.
Although Qingyin wasn’t very interesting, she was still better than Zhang Xuelian. At least Qingyin frowned occasionally, while Zhang Xuelian didn’t even change her face.
“Young Master Yang Chen, there are people ahead,” Qingyin suddenly said.
Yang Chen had also noticed it, and with his hands behind his back, he calmly said, “Are they from South Mountain City? I don’t have any grudges with them, so there’s no need to take action. As for the Iron Eagle Fruit, I have some already. But if you want to take action, I don’t mind!”
Qingyin was a little confused about Yang Chen’s character. She hesitated and then said softly, “I grew up in the Green Lotus Sect, and the Iron Eagle Fruit affects our performance and reputation. I have to take action.”
“That’s fine.” Yang Chen did not stop her.
Dealing with South Mountain City was not troublesome for Qingyin.
Actually, it was unclear who would win or lose if they really fought each other.
Now, he knew through the strange connection between the gold and silver beads that Qingyin had reached the peak of the Elementary Martial Realm in her martial arts cultivation!
Wasn’t that terrifying?
The peak of Elementary Martial Realm was indeed scary.
With Qingyin’s cultivation level, dealing with a main city like South Mountain City, which was neither strong nor weak, was not difficult. In just the time it took to drink a cup of tea, she had snatched quite a few Iron Eagle Fruits.
In this way, Qingyin mostly took action all the way down.
After all, they had missed the best time to collect the Iron Eagle Fruits during these days, so they had to snatch them from the various major forces. Now, most of the major forces had already obtained enough Iron Eagle Fruits and were returning. Qingyin couldn’t be careless.
She attacked one force after another, not holding back. She didn’t try to kill them all but spared at least one life from each enemy and ally!
But Yang Chen was different. He had never taken action from the beginning to the end, which was one of his principles. People don’t offend me, and I don’t offend people. Although the first level involved the reputation of Beishan Main City, he didn’t want to be too high-profile, so he didn’t go on a looting spree like Qingyin.
He thought that he would not take action on his way out of the Secret Realm. However, when this idea hit him, Yang Chen realized that he had to take back his thoughts.
Because he had encountered people from the Black Dragon Sect!
At this moment, both Yang Chen and Qingyin were hiding in the dark, carefully observing a lone genius from the Black Dragon Sect who was blocking the way of five other geniuses. These five were dressed in Taoist robes and turned out to be from Luoyun Main City, which Yang Chen was familiar with.
“Hehe, Luoyun Main City? I won’t waste time talking. Hand over the Iron Eagle Fruits,” said the genius of the Black Dragon Sect in a deep voice.
The geniuses of Luoyun Main City didn’t dare to take it lightly and handed over the Iron Eagle Fruits one after another.
At the same time, Yang Chen was discussing with Qingyin in the dark, “Miss Qingyin, do you know who he is?”
“He is Genius No.5 of the Black Dragon Sect, named Han Cang, with a cultivation level reaching the Eighth Layer of the Elemental Martial Realm!” Qingyin told him without any omissions.
“Good fellow,” Yang Chen inhaled sharply.
This genius, who ranked only fifth, had actually reached the Eighth Layer of the Elemental Martial Realm. How strong would the top four be? It was certain that there would be one or two as strong as Qingyin, having reached the peak of the Elementary Martial Realm, or even stronger!
