What Lin Chen could think of, Cheng Liang and Wan Qiansan naturally could think of as well. The three of them exchanged glances, momentarily unsure of how to arrange things, secretly considering that if worst came to worst, they could all squeeze into one room together.
The main issue was that none of the three dared to share a room with this violent girl. Who knew if she would get angry and beat them up?
"No need to keep staring at each other. Lin Chen, you come share a room with me."
"Xiao Liangzi, you share a room with Junior Brother Wan."
Zi Ling didn't think too much about it, thinking the matter was simple and not that complicated, and immediately looked at Lin Chen as she spoke.
Upon hearing this, Lin Chen and the other two were stunned for a moment.
"Senior Sister Zi Ling, this doesn't seem appropriate. You're a woman and I'm a man. If we share a room..."
Lin Chen looked at Zi Ling and said lightly.
"Stop talking nonsense. What's inappropriate about it? Just come with me."
Zi Ling said lightly, giving Lin Chen no chance to argue.
Upon hearing this, Lin Chen had no choice but to follow Zi Ling towards the room. He didn't want to be publicly beaten by Zi Ling; it would be too humiliating.
Cheng Liang and Wan Qiansan exchanged a glance, naturally not daring to voice any objections, and immediately moved into the room next to Lin Chen and Zi Ling's.
"Look, didn't I say it? Last time I already mentioned that the relationship between Senior Sister Zi Ling and Lin Chen is definitely not as simple as it seems. I noticed during training."
"Didn't you notice that every time Lin Chen looked at Junior Sister Yu a few more times, Senior Sister Zi Ling would get particularly angry and make Lin Chen suffer terribly during training?"
"Based on this, it seems that Senior Sister Zi Ling really has feelings and got involved with Lin Chen. Otherwise, why would she make such a demand just now? She specifically wanted Lin Chen to live with her. Tsk tsk tsk, with Senior Sister Zi Ling's fiery temper, I really feel sorry for Junior Brother Lin Chen..."
After Cheng Liang and Wan Qiansan entered the room, they immediately closed the door and began to gossip.
However, just as their words fell, the door was kicked open, and Zi Ling appeared at the entrance, her eyes filled with icy coldness and anger as she looked at the two of them.
"I say, are you two bored after eating your fill every day and not busy with cultivation? You think you're strong now, so you don't take this trip to the Ancient Ruins seriously? Do you want me to test your recent cultivation achievements?"
Zi Ling looked at Cheng Liang and Wan Qiansan, scolding them in frustration.
Zi Ling had initially taken Lin Chen into the room but thought to give Cheng Liang and Wan Qiansan some advice to be honest before reaching the Ancient Ruins and to go out less, so as not to be targeted by people from the Heaven Hall.
However, just as Zi Ling reached the door, she heard Cheng Liang and Wan Qiansan gossiping about her behind her back.
Zi Ling thought her decision was perfectly normal and didn't expect such a big reaction from the two of them.
Moreover, Cheng Liang and Wan Qiansan were her familiar junior brothers; if even they dared to gossip, who knew how others would talk behind their backs?
"Senior Sister, we didn't say anything just now. We were discussing matters to pay attention to during the ruins expedition."
Cheng Liang looked at Zi Ling's angry appearance, afraid of being beaten, and immediately said.
"Yeah, yeah, we weren't talking nonsense. We were sharing experience to help handle the ruins expedition."
Wan Qiansan's body trembled slightly, and he quickly echoed, looking at Zi Ling.
The two of them knew Zi Ling was reacting so strongly because she must have heard what they said. But fearing a beating, they tried to defend themselves to make amends.
After all, this was like admitting their mistake to Zi Ling in the hope she would calm down.
Looking at the two of them, Zi Ling really wanted to teach them a lesson but feared it would affect the ruins expedition if she injured them. Moreover, beating them now would make the other Three Academy Disciples mock the Yellow Hall.
"You two, stay in the room and cultivate quietly."
Zi Ling looked at the two, saying with frustration, then turned and went back to her own room.
Seeing Zi Ling didn't take action, the two let out a long breath, relaxing their tense nerves.
The two swore to themselves never to gossip behind Zi Ling's back again, fearing that if they got caught again, they would suffer terribly.
Afterward, the two immediately started cultivating.
Zi Ling stormed back to the room, and Lin Chen looked at her sullen face, not understanding what had happened.
"Senior Sister Zi Ling, what happened?"
Lin Chen looked at Zi Ling, asking with concern.
"Nothing, just mind your own business. Why ask so many questions?"
Zi Ling looked at Lin Chen, replying coldly in frustration.
Having just been gossiped about by Cheng Liang and Wan Qiansan, Zi Ling was very displeased. Those two guys actually suspected her of being involved with Lin Chen and said she was jealous over Yu Weilian, which was complete nonsense. Nᴇw novel chapters are publɪshed on novel·fire.net
Upon hearing Zi Ling's angry words, Lin Chen immediately shut his mouth, not daring to ask further.
Even though this violent girl was a woman, she could be so inexplicable. Lin Chen didn't know what had happened, but just asking a question brought such anger.
But Lin Chen didn't dare to speak up, thinking he should avoid provoking her. He immediately made the bed and prepared to meditate and cultivate.
"Hey, Junior Brother Lin Chen, pay attention tonight. Don't try to sneak over and take advantage of me, or you'll regret it."
Zi Ling sorted out the bed, then suddenly her gaze fell on Lin Chen as she spoke lightly.
Hearing Zi Ling's words, Lin Chen was suddenly stunned.
"Senior Sister Zi Ling, since you don't trust me, why did you insist on sharing a room with me in the first place? I said it would cause rumors, and now you're saying it yourself."
Lin Chen shook his head helplessly.
Zi Ling didn't know why she said that, perhaps because of Wan Qiansan and Cheng Liang's gossiping behind her back.
Thinking about it, she also felt her worry was excessive. With her level of cultivation, if Lin Chen tried anything untoward, could she not deal with him?
