of what might happen?_1 The lamplight flickered, intertwining with the clinking of glasses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yao Xuanji was really good at holding her liquor, perhaps she hadn’t relaxed this much in a long while, and she didn’t skimp on drinking at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two of them chatted and drank to their hearts’ content, both slightly tipsy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, what they were drinking was no ordinary wine, but a divine brew made from immortal herbs!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the lamplight, Yao Xuanji’s face was flushed, her lips moist, her beauty rivaled that of peaches and plums, her eyes were dreamily enticing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen’s heart uncontrollably thumped heavily a few times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There had always been a more-than-friends level of an ambiguous relationship between him and Yao Xuanji, and now, with the effects of the wine on their emotions, the atmosphere was intensified.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lin Chen, do you regret it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen said with a laugh, “Regret what?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Regret saving me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yao Xuanji, her elbow propped up on the table, and eyes fixed on Lin Chen, said: “If you hadn’t saved me, you wouldn’t have been targeted by Weijiao and placed in one dangerous situation after another.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen replied with a casual laugh, “If I hadn’t saved you, I’d now still be in the Human World fighting against the demon race.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How would I have ascended to immortality?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yao Xuanji gently shook her head, her voice was soft and sweet, “I’m talking about the Cloud Sky Continent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The incident where Weijiao was trying to kill me, she originally didn’t know about your existence.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen shook his head, “We’re friends who have been through trials and tribulations together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Discussing these matters now is rather meaningless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, look at me now, haven’t I come to the Immortal Palace to seek your protection?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is essentially a poor young man encountering a rich and beautiful lady, entering the peak moment of his life.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If I didn’t know you, how could I sit here drinking with the Master of the Immortal Realm?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I probably wouldn’t even be able to enter the gates of the Immortal Palace, let alone drink wine in it…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yao Xuanji stared at Lin Chen, then sighed abruptly, “It’s a pity that you are already married.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, I would definitely marry you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen’s heart pounded heavily a few times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though he knew that it was just a hypothetical statement, what man could resist such temptation?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not to mention her status as the daughter of a Domain Lord, her beauty alone was enough to make any man’s heart flutter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen lifted his glass and took a sip to calm himself down, then he gently laughed, “Yes, I am already married.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yao Xuanji looked at Lin Chen, her eyes sparkling: “Will you continue to help me in the future, until the Heavenly Dao Alliance is defeated?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen nodded, “Of course, if I don’t bring them down, they’ll keep coming after me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I was almost killed last time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I don’t want to experience that again.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yao Xuanji’s eyes widened, “Then, wouldn’t you have to spend a long time in the Immortal Palace?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen laughed, “I might not necessarily stay in the Immortal Palace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There are always matters that someone needs to handle.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yao Xuanji raised her glass, “Thank you, truly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’m really happy that you’re here.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Since I returned to the Immortal Palace, I’ve been waiting for you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although you ascended, you were unwilling to come to the Immortal Palace to find me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I had to come to you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I was afraid that you would distant yourself from me because of my status.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, I can finally rest assured.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen and Yao Xuanji toasted each other, he laughed, “I will need your favor in the future.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They shared a glance and laughed, the understanding between them all too evident in their eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You know my heart, and I know your thoughts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen finished the wine in his glass, put down the glass, and said with a smile, “That’s enough for today.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If I drink more, I’ll make a fool of myself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That would ruin my image.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yao Xuanji chuckled, “You, really, your life is full of surprises.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In such a short time, you’ve come from nothing to where you are now…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen responded, “That’s because I’ve been fortunate to have benefactors on my journey.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the Barren Wilderness, I was lucky enough to join my sect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although my master doesn’t really manage things, he has treated me well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My senior brothers and sisters have treated me even better, especially my senior sister…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Your Senior Sister likes you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yao Xuanji suddenly interrupted, giggling, “I know this very well.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen scratched his nose with slight embarrassment, “I am already married.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, you are already married.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yao Xuanji phrased it subtly, “This is a good excuse for you to reject others, and also a good reason for women to let go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, things in this world aren’t always so straightforward…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen wasn’t sure what to say in response.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yes, human emotions are like vines, though reason tells the vines they shouldn’t grow in such a way, they have a mind of their own and grow wildly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen didn’t have much to say, so he stayed silent for a few seconds, then stood up and said with a smile, “I’ve drunk quite a lot today, we should all rest early.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tomorrow, we’ll go see Grandpa Cao together.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yao Xuanji stood up, her white robe billowing out like a fairy’s, pure and inviting, making one’s eyes linger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen, with great willpower, shifted his gaze, “I’m going to get some sleep, you should rest early too!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not waiting for Yao Xuanji’s reply, Lin Chen quickly turned around and left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yao Xuanji remained silent, silently watching Lin Chen’s retreating figure, her eyes reflected a myriad of emotions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Are you running away?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Afraid of what you might say next?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Afraid that you might go against your better judgment?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yao Xuanji touched her lips, her eyes were shrouded in increasing haziness, within which lied a touch of loneliness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What is this feeling?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liking?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or perhaps… Love?\u003C\u002Fp>",1036,"2026-06-06T01:52:12.475Z",1,"novelbin.me","43a7151d88627c226a7da85d91ed81862ba13f43111a2b9f8e93c8ef0e2ab410","urban-peerless-expert-chapter-1680","urban-peerless-expert-chapter-1678",4071,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Furban-peerless-expert-cover.jpg"]
