Hearing this, Xu Lin narrowed his eyes for a moment.
Ever since he learned that Xi Ranchen had seen through his Spirit Void True Eyes, he had felt that the Spirit Void True Eyes were truly not a good thing for him.
Now, going to a place like the Luo Xu Mountains, Xi Ranchen still did not forget to make use of his Spirit Void True Eyes.
Admittedly, the Spirit Void True Eyes did have their use there. The original Xu Lin had used the Spirit Void True Eyes to help the protagonist discover many fortuitous encounters in that place.
“How about it?”
Yang Yao’s lips curved slightly.
She was beginning to experience that feeling of control over Xu Lin that Xi Ranchen had.
Right now, Xu Lin was refusing in his heart, yet he had no way to deal with her. The helplessness in Xu Lin’s eyes gave Yang Yao an inexplicable sense of pleasure, one she could not get enough of.
So this was what it felt like to control someone she loathed.
Xu Lin shot Yang Yao a glare, then smacked his lips, feeling that this person had something wrong with her.
He had clearly refused just now, yet she had absolutely no intention of agreeing. Instead, she asked again, as if waiting for him to beg her.
Speechless beyond words, Xu Lin waved his hand, gave no response, and then turned to leave.
This lukewarm attitude soured the mood that Yang Yao had just begun to enjoy.
Even like this, she could not make this guy soften before her. For a moment, she even wanted to activate the Restriction right then.
Her chest rose and fell for a moment. Yang Yao spoke again, “There is one more thing.”
Xu Lin, who was just about to step over the threshold, was fed up. He turned around impatiently.
“Holy Maiden, are you addicted to this? Is there something you cannot say all at once?”
“I know you have been getting close to Jiang Luo recently. I do not care what your goal is. Stay away from her. Do not think about using or bewitching her.”
Yang Yao’s expression was cold and severe as she said, “And do not think too much. As long as my Master is here, you cannot escape the Sunset Sect. Even if you die, you can only die in the Sunset Sect… as the Holy Son of the Sunset Sect.”
She restrained herself with effort, nearly speaking aloud the thought that Xi Ranchen had never planned to let Xu Lin live.
Even now, Xu Lin only knew that Xi Ranchen wanted him to become the Holy Son of the Sunset Sect, then use his former identity to suppress the Vast Dao Sect and disrupt the order of the Righteous Path.
Even the marriage engagement between her and Xu Lin was the same.
He had no idea that in the end, Xi Ranchen would kill him.
“Oh?”
Although the latter half of Yang Yao’s words carried considerable momentum, the first half was what interested Xu Lin more.
If not for the earlier situation with Jiang Luo, being suddenly questioned by Yang Yao today would have truly made him panic.
Jiang Luo had not lied to him. The person she met that day really had been Yang Yao.
At this moment, Yang Yao’s words likewise proved it in reverse.
Remembering his outburst at Jiang Luo that day, Xu Lin felt he really did have persecution delusions.
Even if someone wanted to scheme against him, the probability that it was Jiang Luo was very low.
A thought suddenly came to mind, and Xu Lin wore a playful expression.
“I nearly forgot. I am not only the Holy Son of the Sunset Sect, I am also the Dao Partner your Master personally arranged for you.”
Yang Yao vaguely sensed something was wrong. Her gaze toward Xu Lin grew even colder.
“What? Did you suddenly come to remind me today because you saw me in contact with another female disciple, and you got jealous?”
Xu Lin naturally could not easily reveal his situation with Jiang Luo.
But he could only do his best to keep Yang Yao from constantly thinking in the direction she had mentioned, otherwise it would be very bad for both him and Jiang Luo.
“Impossible!”
Yang Yao said angrily, and Xu Lin immediately followed up.
“Previously, you yourself said that even if we really married and became Dao Partners, it would be impossible for any established facts to exist between us.”
Xu Lin spoke steadily, using Yang Yao’s own words to pressure her.
“Also, if I have any personal needs, I can choose any female disciple of the sect I want.”
“You…”
Having her own words used against her, Yang Yao was somewhat at a loss for words.
“Do not ‘you’ and ‘me’ me.”
Xu Lin swept away his earlier irritation.
“Just tell me, did you say this or not?”
Yang Yao’s anger surged. Demonic Aura rose from her body, disturbing the wooden window not far away.
Seeing this, Xu Lin stepped back half a pace, ready to flee at any moment, afraid that Yang Yao would, like last time, draw her sword and chase him down.
But after a few breaths, Yang Yao’s hand beneath her sleeve slowly loosened from a clenched fist. She let out a slow breath and steadied her state of mind.
She had discovered long ago that her Dao Heart was constantly disturbed by Xu Lin. Recently, she had been working hard to restrain it.
“Yes, I said it.”
When Yang Yao opened her eyes again and acknowledged the words, her cold severity remained unchanged.
“But Jiang Luo is simple by nature. If you want to ruin someone, ruin anyone else.”
She had not finished speaking, but it had to be said that Xu Lin and Yang Yao largely shared the same thought. That girl Jiang Luo really was simple, and she also liked to overthink.
There was only one thing Xu Lin found very unexpected. Yang Yao actually had compassion for others.
But what was special about Jiang Luo? Why was Yang Yao so concerned about her? Was it purely because she feared Jiang Luo would be deceived by him?
And judging by this stance, Xi Ranchen seemed not to know, otherwise Yang Yao would have long since brought up Xi Ranchen’s words and threatened him the way she just had.
Yang Yao continued, “If you truly cannot hold yourself back, the Sunset Sect has many female disciples. You are also the Holy Son. You need only speak up, and female disciples skilled in that area will naturally come to your door.”
Her gaze turned contemptuous. Righteous Path disciples were no different. In the end, they were still men unable to escape the control of their lower halves.
“Did I not say last time, if you need, I can even help you pick a few, and tonight have them come personally to serve you?”
As her words ended, Yang Yao could hardly conceal the scorn at the corner of her mouth.
Xu Lin glanced sideways, his mouth slightly open. He did not know whether Yang Yao was being serious or not.
Last time she had pushed him, her Dao Partner, away. Now she actually wanted to personally select women and have them delivered to his door.
“Really?”
Xu Lin sighed with a laugh and followed Yang Yao’s words.
The Holy Son spoke, the Holy Maiden chose the people. There was truly no worry that some Sunset Sect female disciples would not come. By then, it would probably be a packed house.
At that time, forget calling him Holy Son. They could call him a stud.
“Naturally.”
Yang Yao raised her brows, contempt mixed with composure and magnanimity.
She just wanted to prove that she did not care at all whether Xu Lin was her Dao Partner, and that she would absolutely never be moved by him.
“Then…”
Xu Lin smiled slyly and slowly raised one hand.
“I want this many.”
He had thought three women was already the limit for an ordinary man, and Xu Lin was no exception.
But seeing the fingers he spread, Yang Yao was stunned for a moment.
“Five?”
“No, no, no.”
Xu Lin shook his head.
“There is still this side.”
On the other side, Xu Lin’s other hand also spread open.
“I want ten!”
If lifting his feet had not been so troublesome, he would have wanted to raise those too.
He had been tormented by the Sunset Sect for so long, and now Yang Yao still wanted to threaten him into going to the Luo Xu Mountains. How could five be enough? I want to fight ten!
The words shocked everyone. Yang Yao’s eyes widened in disbelief.
