Chapter 116: Ye. Ye Ling, what are you going to do to me?

"This is Big Sister's wallet, use it as you please!"

Chen Ying'er said this very cheerfully, giving off the distinct vibe of a wealthy woman, which made Ye Ling want to laugh.

Ye Ling opened the wallet slightly and was immediately startled: "That's not right, Ying Er, there's nothing inside your wallet."

"Ah? How is that possible? I just asked Grandfather for it before I came out." Chen Ying'er was instantly anxious, took her wallet, and saw that a black Magic Crystal Card was lying inside.

Chen Ying'er's little face turned red all at once, and she snapped, "Ye Ling!!!"

"My mistake, my mistake, little Princess. Let's go, the Demon Hunt Squad Competition is tomorrow, and there might be some good items released today. We should hurry and get a private room so we don't miss out later," Ye Ling pleaded for mercy.

"You!!!" Chen Ying'er pouted, looking somewhat unhappy.

At the same time, a puzzled voice came from the side: "Ye Ling?"

Hearing this, Ye Ling turned his head to look immediately and saw a Knight with broken eyebrows standing there, while behind the broken-browed Knight followed a green-haired youth, who was looking at Ye Ling and Chen Ying'er with some curiosity.

"Oh, Han Yu, it's you?"

"Long time no see, you look like you're in good shape."

Ye Ling smiled slightly; it was normal to greet an acquaintance.

Han Yu stepped forward, performed a Knight's salute, and said sincerely, "Thank you."

Ye Ling naturally knew what he was talking about, smiled slightly, and waved his hand: "No need for thanks, it was what I should have done."

"What you consider something you should have done is incomparably important to me; that is the greatest reason why I thank you," Han Yu said with great gratitude.

However, this was not a suitable place for a long salute, so he immediately steadied his body, nodded to Chen Ying'er as a greeting, turned around, and introduced: "This is Lin Xin, the grandson of Magic Temple Vice Hall Master Lin Chen."

After finishing, he introduced to Lin Xin: "Lin Xin, this is Ye Ling. His specific identity is kept confidential internally, so I cannot say much."

Lin Xin looked at Ye Ling's position with some surprise. Confidential?

Although his own status could not be considered the absolute top, it was not bad either. If it could be kept confidential from him, then this youth was likely not simple.

In that case, he would test his background first. Lin Xin had once obtained a mysterious Insight Technique at an auction that could probe a person's name, age, and cultivation, provided that the corresponding level did not exceed Lin Xin himself or the creator of the Insight Technique.

Then it could be easily seen through.

And! This Insight Technique could also be used without being detected. Give it a try; if this youth's strength was not weaker than Han Yu's or was about the same, and he could build a good relationship, who knows, he might be able to achieve his own goal?

Thinking of this, the corners of Lin Xin's mouth curled into a smile, and a strange golden light emerged in his eyes, landing on Ye Ling.

【Name: Ye Ling.

Identity: xxx.

Age: xxx.

Cultivation: xxx.

Ability: xxx.】

Lin Xin: "????"

This was the first time he had failed to probe a peer since obtaining this Insight Technique.

He was somewhat unconvinced and looked at Chen Ying'er on the side. This youth named Ye Ling had some issues, but surely that wouldn't be the case for Chen Ying'er?

【Name: Chen xx.

Identity: Soul Temple xxx.

Age: 18. Cultivation: xxx.

Ability: xxx.】

Damn, it just added an identity and ability? Where is your key information? I'm not a pervert, what use is it for me to know your identity and age? I need to know your ability!

He turned his head to look at Han Yu, wanting to test if the Insight Technique was broken. 【Name: Han Yu.

Identity: Knight Temple Earth Knight, grandson of Saint Knight Chief Han Yu.

Age: Twenty-three.

Cultivation: Fifth Rank Level Three Guardian Knight.

Ability: Holy Saint Spiritual Stove.】

Lin Xin: "???"

Damn, there's nothing wrong here!

Not a single problem! Why! Why were these two people, especially this youth named Ye Ling—whom he could only probe the name of because Han Yu introduced him earlier, otherwise there would be nothing—like this?

What kind of freak is this? No, I must find out! I, Lin Xin, am a super genius, the second genius in the Magic Temple in a hundred years with an Innate Internal Spiritual Power as high as seventy-four!

Even if there are peers stronger than me! It's impossible for them to be so strong that they can't even be probed!!! Lin Xin's competitive spirit was completely ignited, and he vaguely used that strange Insight Technique to observe Ye Ling again, but... this time under observation, he suffered a complete tragedy. His Mental Power could not withstand it at all and was instantly backlashed. He rolled his eyes and fell straight to the ground, crashing down with a loud thud. Everyone nearby looked at this scene in a daze.

It wasn't just the others; even Han Yu and Chen Ying'er were stunned.

No, big brother, are you playing at "touch porcelain" here?

Only Ye Ling was quite clear about it. Regarding the use of Mental Power, Ye Ling dared not say he was the best in the world; after all, once one reaches a certain level, one can also simply operate Mental Power.

But Ye Ling could guarantee that below a Seventh Rank Temple Knight, no one was stronger than him in the use of Mental Power. Lin Xin? His Mental Power was indeed not bad, but Ye Ling was stronger than him in both Mental Power intensity and application.

How could he compare to him?

It was just that he had reacted immediately and stopped the outward surge of Mental Power; otherwise, although Lin Xin wouldn't have died from this Mental Power impact, he would likely have been stupid for a while... However, just from that moment, Ye Ling's Mental Power backlash also gave him a clear grasp of Lin Xin's current situation.

He originally didn't know the Insight Technique.

But there was no choice.

Lin Xin's Insight Technique had instead taken effect on himself and fed back into Ye Ling.

"Brother Lin, are you alright?" Han Yu immediately stepped forward and helped Lin Xin up.

"I'm fine, I'm fine." Lin Xin got up, swallowed, and answered with difficulty.

He looked at Ye Ling on the side with awe. This person was not simple. Because he often refined medicine and due to his talent, his Mental Power was extremely strong, but this youth was clearly much stronger than him, and not just by a little bit... What kind of freak is this?

Is he even human? He just steadied his body and said earnestly: "Excuse me, Brother Ye. I've probably been a bit dizzy these past two days, and my brain was a bit muddled. It's better now."

After speaking, he even feigned this by taking a pill and stuffing it into his mouth, increasing the persuasiveness of his behavior.

"Hmm, young man, you must show restraint. Brother Lin, it would be best to steady your body," Ye Ling said with a sincere expression.

Lin Xin: "."

"I thank you for that!" However, he quickly regained his gentlemanly demeanor. Since this person was so terrifying, he certainly had to make his acquaintance, so he said: "Seeing the two of you here, I assume you are also here to attend the auction? You haven't opened a private box yet, have you?"

"Would you do me the honor? Brother Han and I have already opened a box; would you like to join us?"

Hearing this, Ye Ling nodded and said: "Then many thanks to Brother Lin."

"It's nothing, it's nothing." Lin Xin feigned generosity and walked ahead with Han Yu. On the way, he whispered quietly into Han Yu's ear.

"Brother Han, is this the Ye Ling you mentioned before?"

"He is indeed powerful. The feeling he gives me is even above that of Yang Wenzhao," Lin Xin said to Han Yu sneakily.

"Wen Zhao?" Han Yu was surprised: "Don't you know that Wen Zhao also lost to Ye Ling before?"

"Really?" Lin Xin was shocked.

"Why would I lie to you?" Han Yu said helplessly.

"I really didn't expect it. He looks so young, probably under twenty," Lin Xin said in surprise, and after a long while, he nodded: "And, he's very handsome too!"

Hearing this, Han Yu's face stiffened: "Brother Lin, you wouldn't be..." Han Yu was already prepared to retreat.

"What are you thinking about?" Lin Xin was speechless: "It's just that I'm a bit surprised; this is the first time I've seen someone more handsome than me."

"How can he be so handsome? And he's much more handsome than me. Both in temperament and appearance, this really caught me off guard. I originally thought I would be the most handsome one."

Lin Xin sighed. Hearing this, Han Yu was stunned and pointed at himself: "Am I not handsome?"

"You?" Lin Xin turned around, took a look, and said with slight disdain: "Brother Han, don't ask for trouble. If it were Yang Wenzhao, it would be one thing—I wouldn't dare say I'm definitely more handsome than him by much—but as for you, forget it."

"Although you aren't ugly, you are far behind me, let alone compared to Brother Ye Ling here."

Han Yu: "."

"Brother Lin."

"Hmm?"

"I really want to beat you up."

"Can you not?"

"Can I?"

The two thought their conversation was very secretive, but since it wasn't a Transmission of Sound, and Ye Ling and Chen Ying'er were both God-Favored Ones who were extremely powerful, even though they didn't do it on purpose, they still heard it.

Upon hearing Lin Xin praise Ye Ling for being handsome, Chen Ying'er was also stunned and looked at him with some hostility. Was this sissy trying to compete with her for Ye Ling?

However, after hearing the rest, she nodded with deep empathy, looked at Ye Ling, and said bluntly: "Hmm, he is indeed quite handsome."

Ye Ling smiled and rubbed Chen Ying'er's little head.

Then, they walked into the private box together with the two who were bickering.

The private boxes of the grand auction house were not very luxurious; on the contrary, they were somewhat simple, only having many Magic Crystals gathered there to form a Sound-Proof Array and protective arrays.

And in any private box, you could directly see the auction situation below and press the button inside to raise your bid at any time.

After entering, Lin Xin waved his hand simply and gestured toward the seats of Ye Ling and Chen Ying'er: "Brother Ye Ling, Miss Chen, please..."

This was the best thing about Lin Xin as a person. Although he had been pampered since childhood, his experiences meant he did not have the arrogance of those in high positions.

Of course, his status was not as high as Ye Ling's and Chen Ying'er's, but he was not aware of this.

The two did not stand on ceremony with him either, but walked straight up and sat on the sofa.

However, to be fair, the sofa here was indeed not as good as those in the God Seal Knight Mansion or the Demon Hunt Squad villa...

"Brother Ye, are you also here to participate in the Demon Hunt Squad Competition this time?" Although Lin Xin was usually glib, he was not vague when it came to key matters.

The first thing he did after sitting down was to ask directly.

"Yes, why, is Brother Lin also participating?" Ye Ling smiled slightly and asked.

"Yes, of course. I am a mage. Looking at Brother Ye's temperament and the power released from your body, you should be a Knight, right?"

"Exactly," Ye Ling nodded and said.

"Knights are great. Whether it's attack power or defensive power, they are extremely strong, much better than us mages."

"It's a pity I don't have a light-attribute talent, otherwise I should have asked my grandfather to let me join the Knight Temple back then," Lin Xin said with a tone of regret.

"If Hall Master Lin Chen heard you say that, he would probably skin you alive," Ye Ling smiled. He naturally understood what Lin Xin intended to say.

"So," Lin Xin had originally intended to use medicinal pills to entice Ye Ling. He had done this to other powerhouses, even Han Yu, but with Ye Ling... it wasn't very likely.

And Ye Ling's words didn't give him that opportunity, so he planned to be more direct.

He called out: "Brother Ye Ling, what do you think of me?"

"Hmm?" Ye Ling was a bit surprised.

"What did you say!" Chen Ying'er, who was on the side, was stunned upon hearing this. She spread her little hands and shielded Ye Ling in front of her, with a strong sense of guarding her food. Her cute little face looked at Lin Xin's position seriously, as if she would take action if things didn't go well.

Just kidding, it was fine if anyone else came to covet "her Ye Ling"—whether it was Li Xin or Long Lingxi, Chen Ying'er had nothing to say, as they were his "sisters"—but a man, and a flashy one at that, actually dared to covet Ye Ling? Are you kidding me?!

"Miss Chen," Lin Xin was somewhat helpless. This was the second time he had been misunderstood today, but he absolutely was not! And Ye Ling could not possibly be either!

So he immediately shook his head and explained: "You misunderstood. I don't have that kind of thought toward Brother Ye."

"I just want him to choose me in the upcoming Demon Hunt Squad Competition."

Hearing this, Chen Ying'er finally understood the situation. So he wasn't here to snatch Ye Ling from her... then it was no... no, wait, that's not fine at all.

This was even more serious than snatching Ye Ling!

"Is there any difference between those two thoughts?"

"Didn't you see that this Princess is still here?"

"What, does this Princess not look like someone who is going to participate in the Demon Hunt Squad Competition?"

Chen Ying'er's aura was very strong. This was snatching Ye Ling! How could her aura be weak?

She had already missed Ye Ling after not seeing him for a few years, and now someone actually dared to come out and say they wanted to snatch him from her? Just kidding.

"Little Princess Chen, please calm down first. I feel that I should be more useful to Brother Ye. I can refine Fourth Rank medicinal pills, and I have already stepped into the Fifth Rank. My mastery of elements should be better..." Lin Xin said forlornly. This plot was not what he had imagined!

"Who says I'm not Fifth Rank!" Chen Ying'er said with a hint of urgency, shouting: "This Princess is a very pure Fifth Rank Second Grade Beast Controller."

"Besides, so what if you're an alchemist? This Princess is from the Soul Temple, sob sob sob..."

Chen Ying'er still had a somewhat childish temperament. Under Lin Xin's provocation, she even intended to reveal her identity, but Ye Ling reacted immediately, pulling her back and covering her little mouth with his hand.

Her little bottom sat on Ye Ling's lap, and a soft sensation erupted with a boom.

Chen Ying'er was stunned for a moment.

Ye... Ye Ling, what are you trying to do to me?
