Lin Chen, trying to dodge to the side, found it was already too late; he quickly utilized his Spiritual Power to form a shield around his body.
The attacking coldness turned out to be just a few water droplets. The opponent’s Cultivation must have reached the Heaven-reaching Realm Level, otherwise how could they emit enough power to annihilate him with just a few droplets?
The water droplets landed on Lin Chen’s Spiritual Light Shield and burst instantly. ᴛhis chapter is ᴜpdated by novel✶fire.net
Lin Chen felt a dull pain in his chest.
Fortunately, Lin Chen possessed the Ancient Divine Body with a physique far surpassing that of ordinary Martial Artists, and he practiced the Primordial Transformation Art so his Spiritual Power was unaffected by the opponent.
"Which peak’s disciple are you to dare intrude into my room?"
The person in the room scolded; seeing that Lin Chen hadn’t been knocked down by her attack, a flash of surprise appeared on her face before she prepared to make another move.
Lin Chen looked up and saw a crazed woman scantily clad, wearing long green hair. Her tall figure and aura of beauty were vastly different from Xu Lianyu’s. Xu Lianyu was petite and cute, while this woman resembled Yang Yuemin’s seductive charm that captured the heart with just a glance.
The woman was indescribably beautiful, but now, barely clothed, she seemed to have just come out of a bath. Lin Chen, this newbie, had never seen such a sight before, and his heart raced, completely forgetting the question she had asked him.
"You brazen lout, you even dare to stare! I’ll gouge your eyes out."
The woman’s anger flared, and she reached out to gouge Lin Chen’s eyes.
With a leap, the woman instantly appeared in front of Lin Chen. Just as he was about to activate his movement technique to flee towards the door, a petite figure appeared and stood in front of him.
"Stop, Senior Sister! Lin Chen is our younger sect brother; you must not harm him," Xu Lianyu appeared before Lin Chen, and the woman indeed halted her movement.
The woman furrowed her brow, looking at Lin Chen. Though he was a handsome man, he had intruded into her boudoir and seen her bathing. She felt that killing Lin Chen was the only way to ease her anger, but what she hadn’t expected was Xu Lianyu calling this man their younger sect brother.
"What exactly is going on? Where did this younger sect brother come from? Could it be that during the half-year of my seclusion, our master took in a new disciple, and a male one at that?"
The woman looked at Xu Lianyu and asked lightly.
Seeing this, Xu Lianyu nodded rapidly and then turned around, pulling Lin Chen’s hand to introduce him to the woman.
"Senior Sister, his name is Lin Chen. He is indeed the new younger sect brother our master has taken in."
"Lin Chen, this is our eldest Senior Sister, Zhao Yijing."
Upon hearing Xu Lianyu’s introduction, Lin Chen hadn’t expected the person to be his hitherto unknown eldest Senior Sister.
When Lin Chen first arrived at Jade Bird Peak, he had imagined meeting the other Senior Sisters countless times. However, these three Senior Sisters had been in seclusion, not appearing for more than half a year. As days passed at Jade Bird Peak, Lin Chen gradually started feeling at home and didn’t pay much attention to the three Senior Sisters whom he hadn’t met before.
He had never expected that the first time he would see his eldest Senior Sister would be under such circumstances. He had now seen all of Zhao Yijing that one should and shouldn’t see; it seems the days to come won’t be easy.
However, come to think of it, even if she were his eldest Senior Sister, she shouldn’t appear in his room, let alone take a bath in it.
Zhao Yijing looked at Lin Chen’s displeased expression with anger rising in her heart.
"What kind of look is that?" she chastised. "No manners at all! Even if you are my junior brother, you can’t just barge into my room without knocking,"
Zhao Yijing rebuked him indignantly.
Before Lin Chen arrived at Jade Bird Peak, there were only five women including Yang Yuemin, Xu Lianyu, Zhao Yijing, Ning Rong, and Li Xueqi; and due to the restrictions outside Jade Bird Peak, outsiders couldn’t enter without a Jade Bird Peak token, and hence no additional restrictions were placed on anyone’s living quarters.
But who could have expected that just after Zhao Yijing came out of seclusion, there was a new junior brother?
"What do you mean by that, Senior Sister?" Lin Chen retorted. "Since my arrival at Jade Bird Peak, I have lived here the whole time. Since when has it become your quarters?"
At this moment, Lin Chen naturally felt annoyed. Although he realized he had accidentally gained an advantage by seeing Zhao Yijing, he refused to admit that he purposefully intruded into Zhao Yijing’s room, as her words implied false accusations.
"What are you saying? Have you been living here on the peak since you arrived?"
"This is clearly my room,"
Zhao Yijing felt like her lungs would explode with fury. So, Lin Chen had been sleeping in the bed she had slept in?
Hearing Zhao Yijing’s words, Lin Chen was stunned; it was indeed the Senior Sister’s room. No wonder the garden and room were decorated with such a young girl’s touch—he had initially thought it to be the style of Jade Bird Peak. After all, Lin Chen had visited Yang Yuemin’s residence, which was also furnished with pink decor and felt very girly.
But now it seemed that it wasn’t the decorating style of Jade Bird Peak at all but rather the particular taste of his master and senior sister.
Furthermore, Lin Chen thought back to the mysterious fragrance he noticed in the bed where he slept. He had previously assumed the place was uninhabited, and perhaps Xu Lianyu, who brought him inside, had intentionally sprinkled some fragrance beforehand. Now it appeared that it was due to the Senior Sister having slept there...
At this point, Lin Chen knew he was probably in big trouble.
With this thought, Lin Chen quickly glanced towards Xu Lianyu.
Zhao Yijing also turned to look at Xu Lianyu, immediately suspecting that the mischief leading to Lin Chen’s appearance in her room was orchestrated by this cheeky, fearless individual.
"Senior Sister, Junior Brother, our master has locked me in confinement," Xu Lianyu said, "I need to go back to my quarters to serve my punishment now."
Seeing Zhao Yijing’s accusatory gaze, Xu Lianyu took to her heels and ran.
Zhao Yijing wasn’t about to let her off so easily; her own innocence was ruined by this little lass.
A streak of pink moved through the air, and before anyone knew it, Zhao Yijing had donned a long, pink dress, which only enhanced her celestial aura at the moment.
She appeared in front of Xu Lianyu, grabbing the little braid in her hair.
"You little wretch, we’ll settle this account slowly," Zhao Yijing enunciated each word, "considering my recent insights during my seclusion, tonight, I shall impart them all to my junior sister."
Xu Lianyu’s face turned green with dread, foreseeing an inevitable beating tonight.
While Xu Lianyu looked for help, Lin Chen took the opportunity to quickly escape the scene.
