Chapter 179: Chapter 179

As soon as Su Lin released his aura, Xiao Chen and Song Juncheng felt it. “This aura, who is it? So formidable,” Song Juncheng wiped the cold sweat from his face, somewhat horrified.

Su Lin’s aura burst forth too quickly and without any concealment, probably felt by many masters and grandmasters in the entire building. “This is Su Lin’s aura. Do you still doubt he is a grandmaster?” Xiao Chen said indifferently.

He was now in the late stages of being a master and had also practiced ancient martial arts, but the more he did, the more he realized how big the gap between him and Su Lin was.

If they really fought, he could only run; otherwise, he would definitely be killed. He was just a bit puzzled as to why Su Lin hadn’t made a move against him. Su Lin could have easily killed him.

What Xiao Chen didn’t know was that his protagonist’s aura was somewhat troublesome, so Su Lin decided to cut it down before making a move.

“Is this really Su Lin’s aura? Are you sure you’re not mistaken?”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Xiao Chen gave a bitter smile, “I almost died at his hands. How could I be mistaken about this?”

Hearing this, Song Juncheng’s brows furrowed. He wasn’t foolish. Su Lin was only eighteen, a grandmaster at eighteen; where else could you find someone like that, without significant backing?

He originally thought Xiao Chen was exaggerating, but now it seemed the situation was not that simple. The most important thing was Song Zhiming had told him to protect Xiao Chen at all costs.

What does ‘at all costs’ mean? It means even if he dies, Xiao Chen cannot. Song Juncheng started to feel a headache coming on. This was a fight between immortals.

He made a decision secretly to call Song Zhiming later and inform him about the situation. Nobody would have expected both Xiao Chen and Su Lin to appear in Donghai at the same time. “If he really is a grandmaster, then we need to be more cautious in our actions from now on.”

Xiao Chen nodded, that’s exactly the effect he wanted; otherwise, he wouldn’t have wasted so much effort.

Meanwhile, in Su Lin’s private room, the ladies were somewhat worriedly looking at the door.

“Sister Ziyu, what’s wrong with Sister Xiaoyue? Why did Su Lin run out carrying her? Was there really a problem with that inner pill?” Zhao Yanyan asked worriedly.

Li Ziyu shook her head, “Yanyan, you’ve hit the nail on the head with that question. I only learned about this inner pill today myself. How would I know what it does? But seeing Xiaoyue’s condition and Su Lin’s reaction, there seems to be a significant problem.”

“Sister Xiaoyue won’t die, right?”

Lin Xiaowan said, “That shouldn’t be the case. From Su Lin’s reaction, he seems to have a way to handle it.”

“Right, Yanyan, don’t overthink it. Anything in Su Lin’s hands can be resolved,” Shiyu said blindly.

Yanyan sighed, “Xiaoyu, when Xiaowan said you were Su Lin’s little fangirl, I didn’t believe it. Now, I do. You’re not just a little fangirl; using Su Lin’s words, you’re his diehard fan, believing everything he says. If one day Su Lin tells you he’s an immortal, would you believe that too?”

After thinking for a bit, Shiyu nodded, “If Su Lin really said that to me, I would believe him because he wouldn’t joke about such things with me.”

Su Lin’s departure caused more than just Xiao Chen and Song Juncheng to react. Qin Dushu knew immediately when Su Lin disappeared with Qin Jiuyue, and they disappeared so quickly. When they reached the rooftop, they only saw a little black shadow of Su Lin.

They were already a kilometer away. At that time, they had no idea who Su Lin was, so they had to check the surveillance and then found out Su Lin had taken Qin Jiuyue away.

Qin Dushu was not angry but rather happy, “Let them go. Xiaoyue likes to play, and if Su Lin takes her to play, then let them. This auction doesn’t have anything good anyway.”

The several masters exchanged glances, unsure why Qin Dushu, who usually protected Qin Jiuyue very well, was acting out of character today.

Qin Dushu had his own thoughts. Su Lin was undoubtedly a grandmaster, with a mysterious sect behind him, plus Su Zhenguo, destined to become one of Xia Country’s tycoons.

Analyzing Su Lin’s identity, he realized that this was one of the few young talents in Xia Country. If Qin Jiuyue could marry Su Lin, it would be a beautiful thing.

However, at this moment, Su Lin was indeed in a difficult situation. The effects of the Jiao poison acted quickly, and Qin Jiuyue soon lost her rationality.

She clung to Su Lin like an octopus, making advances. And Su Lin, currently flying at high speed while holding Qin Jiuyue, had no way to pull her away.

So, at the moment, Su Lin was truly suffering. After a frantic rush, Su Lin brought Qin Jiuyue back to the villa. As soon as they stopped at home, he felt her lips on his.

With a last shred of rationality, Su Lin tapped Qin Jiuyue’s cheek, “Xiaoyue, Xiaoyue, do you know who I am?”

Qin Jiuyue mumbled, “Of… of course… I know… you are… Su Lin.”

“You know I’m Su Lin and you dare to kiss me?”

Qin Jiuyue regained a bit of consciousness and then stared at Su Lin’s face. Seeing Qin Jiuyue’s affection level was over 90, Su Lin hesitated no longer.

Two hours later~! Su Lin lay on the bed resting. Qin Jiuyue slept sweetly beside him. Su Lin picked up his phone and saw a bunch of calls had come through, mostly from Lin Xiaowan, Shiyu, and Zhao Yanyan.

Li Ziyu also made a few calls, but when Su Lin didn’t answer, she stopped calling. There was also a call from Su Zhenguo.

Su Lin called Lin Xiaowan back first; “Hello~! Xiaowan, has the auction ended?”

“Su Lin… you finally returned the call. How is Sister Xiaoyue? Is she in danger now?” Lin Xiaowan asked worriedly.

Su Lin looked at Qin Jiuyue, who was sleeping sweetly beside him, and moved his sore arm, saying, “She’s fine, just a bit tired and asleep now.”

Lin Xiaowan didn’t catch the implication in Su Lin’s words, but she was somewhat relieved; “That’s good, that’s good. Just now, Sister Xiaoyue’s grandfather came and asked what happened. We told him Sister Xiaoyue felt dizzy, and you took her to the hospital.”

Su Lin snapped his fingers; “Well done, Xiaowan. You’re really my treasure.”

Lin Xiaowan laughed and then asked, “Su Lin, are you guys coming back? The auction still has a while to go, and we’re planning to have dinner downstairs later.”

“I won’t be going back. If you guys feel bored, just come back to the villa.”

“Hm? Su Lin, are you at the villa now?”

“Yep, I’ve brought Xiaoyue back. You three come back as well, I have something to tell you.”

“Oh~! Then we’ll let Sister Ziyu know and head back…”

“Okay.”

Su Lin wiped the sweat from Qin Jiuyue’s forehead. He felt he should tell Lin Xiaowan and the others about what happened between him and Qin Jiuyue. Although it happened unexpectedly, Su Lin has always been a sincere person.

Lin Xiaowan and Zhao Yanyan would probably be upset and punch him a few times, Shiyu could be ignored, but it’s better than keeping it a secret.

What worried him now wasn’t Lin Xiaowan and the other ladies, but Qin Jiuyue’s grandfather, Qin Deshu. That old man must know he took Qin Jiuyue out, and not returning for such a long time, he might cause trouble.

And since he’s Qin Jiuyue’s grandfather, who has always treated her like a princess, it wouldn’t be appropriate to fight back.

“Ah… it should be a happy event, why do I feel a bit depressed?” After speaking, Su Lin looked at Qin Jiuyue again, noticing her eyelashes flutter, but her eyes remained closed.

As someone who had been through similar situations, Su Lin knew she was pretending to be asleep. He didn’t expect Qin Jiuyue to be so cute, clearly awake, yet pretending to sleep with him.

But thinking about it, it actually made sense. It would indeed be awkward to face each other now. Su Lin tried to get up quietly, but pulling the blanket also pulled Qin Jiuyue.

“Sss~!!!” Qin Jiuyue drew a sharp breath and then opened her eyes.

Hearing Qin Jiuyue’s gasp, Su Lin couldn’t get off the bed. He had no choice but to say, “Xiaoyue, you’re awake?”

Qin Jiuyue blinked her eyelashes and then pulled the blanket to cover half of her face.

“Heh~!! Xiaoyue, you’re shy now?”

Hearing Su Lin’s laughter, Qin Jiuyue opened her eyes and grumbled, “Hmph, I wasn’t asleep, just suddenly passed out.”

“Ha ha ha……”

“Su Lin, you’re not allowed to laugh,” Qin Jiuyue glared at Su Lin angrily.

Su Lin grinned, “Xiaoyue, you should start calling me husband now.”

“Who’s your wife… pfft… who’s my husband? We’re not even married yet. I wouldn’t marry you!” Qin Jiuyue said fiercely.

“Hehe… Xiaowan and the others will be back soon, are you sure you want to keep covering your face?” Su Lin asked cheerfully.

Qin Jiuyue, in a panic, kicked, “Why did you call them back… ouch, it hurts.”

Su Lin immediately asked with concern, “Xiaoyue, is your foot okay?”

Qin Jiuyue mumbled a few words, then turned her head away, refusing to look at Su Lin. She was feeling mixed emotions.

Although she liked Su Lin, she didn’t expect to give herself to him in such a confused manner. She had imagined hundreds of romantic scenarios, but not like today.

This made Qin Jiuyue very upset. And now that Su Lin had also called Lin Xiaowan and the others back, she was even more depressed. How was she supposed to face Lin Xiaowan and Zhao Yanyan?

Su Lin knew Qin Jiuyue needed some time to process some things. Seeing her affection level soar to 99, he knew she was just temporarily unable to adapt.

So, he wisely chose not to speak. At this moment, saying anything would be wrong, so keeping silent was the best choice~!!!
