Chapter 831

To avoid being hunted down by Immortal Emperors from various factions.

After all, even an Immortal Emperor from the Zhao Family might make a move.

Only now, after great difficulty, had a Heavenly Secret Pavilion been established.

Barely managing to survive.

Even if the Heavenly Secret Pavilion were destroyed, one could still take refuge with the Nine Heavens.

As a younger sister, she naturally would not go against her own elder sister.

Even though in the past, there hadn't been much of a relationship.

So she said, "Not sure, probably some petty trash imitating it."

Li Shangjian clicked his tongue.

How could that be called petty trash?

That was a powerhouse at least at the Great Emperor level, capable of using the Space Law.

And the name was even Zhao Qingyun.

This has to be the Zhao Family, no doubt about it.

It's just unclear why she's not well-known within the Zhao Family.

After all, logically speaking, with Zhao Qingyun's top-tier ability,

she absolutely had to be one of the candidates for the next Zhao Family Patriarch, one of the Zhao Family Saintesses, no question about it.

But they hadn't heard of her, which was absurd.

Zhao Qingyun fell silent.

This Zhao Qingyun was merely her alias.

Her name within the Zhao Family was Zhao Qingqing.

A completely unremarkable name.

And she was at the very bottom of the Zhao Family.

Of course, she wouldn't be bullied.

With her ability, it would be hard for her to be bullied even if she wanted to be.

If she really couldn't stay any longer, she could just leave.

Reality was just that cruel.

Without strength, one could only be abandoned.

And she had never thought about climbing into the upper echelons of the Zhao Family.

That would be far too dangerous for her.

What she had always practiced was what her parents had given her before they died.

Fortunately, she had now successfully cultivated it and gained considerable insight.

As for now, she didn't plan to come out either.

After all, this was her younger sister's stage.

Let the younger sister handle the matters and problems.

Lin Xingchen sneered coldly, "Senior, this Xu Chen has quite a few stories, you know."

At this moment, Lin Xingchen had no intention of letting Xu Chen off the hook.

Pretending to be a Buddhist Sect expert, are you?

Hah, could this Lin Xingchen let you, Xu Chen, pull off that act?

Zhao Qinglian asked curiously, "What stories?"

Lin Xingchen scoffed, "This Xu Chen has dozens of women by his side, every single one of them as beautiful as flowers."

After saying that, he embellished wildly, painting Xu Chen as a playboy.

Things like forcibly taking common women, burning and looting, committing every evil imaginable.

All of it was piled onto Xu Chen's head.

Then forcing the female lead to follow Xu Chen and the like.

For a moment, everyone clicked their tongues in amazement.

Good lord, with his storytelling ability, they almost believed it was true.

If they hadn't known better.

This guy's talent would be a damn shame if he didn't go work as a storyteller at a tavern.

Xu Chen was also completely dumbfounded.

You bastard Lin Xingchen really are something else.

Although I'm a villain, this thing about forcing women—

he really hadn't done it, alright?

Did he need to?

Did he fucking need to now?

Didn't you see all the female leads kneeling and licking his boots?

He even told all the female leads to get lost and stop following him.

Yet in your mouth it became coercion, impressive.

He bared his teeth, wondering if this Zhao Qinglian would believe it

But if she did believe it, that would be pretty good too.

At least she wouldn't like him anymore, right?

Anyway, if he really were that kind of scumbag, would any woman still like him?

For a moment, Xu Chen inwardly gave Lin Xingchen a thumbs-up.

Well done!

The crowd also secretly thought: this Xu scoundrel is in for it now.

Zhao Qinglian already had it in for Xu the scoundrel.

And now this stirs the pot further — isn't that adding fuel to the fire?

Xu the scoundrel is done for, definitely.

But then came Zhao Qinglian's reaction.

It stunned everyone on the spot.

She was seen saying, wild with joy:

"You said that whenever he sees a beauty, he wants to possess her?

Is it true? Is what you're saying really true?"

Lin Xingchen: "..."

What the hell.

The crowd: "..."

Absurd.

Xu Chen: "..."

Is this girl eighty percent brain-dead?

Oh man, he's completely numb.
