So what if I'm useless? I'll become a saint!

"You misunderstood. I'm not here to cause trouble."

Chen Yan's eyes were burning as he clasped his fists and bowed to Ling Jiuan, smiling: "I am willing to accept the loss and want to make friends with Miss Ling Wu."

This move attracted a lot of attention.

The competition in the ring hasn't started yet, and everyone started talking about the fight between the two.

"This young master of the Chen family is really useless. He is known as the most promising cultivator in the Chen family, but he was defeated by a fool like Miss Ling Wu who is only at the ninth level of body forging. Tsk tsk."

"He doesn't feel ashamed at all. Look, he's talking to Miss Ling Wu again."

There are quite a few sarcastic remarks.

Chen Yan pretended not to hear and continued smiling brightly.

For some reason, Lei Tingyi felt that his smile was particularly arrogant and very unpleasant.

Ling Jiuan curled his lips and said coldly: "There must be something wrong when things are abnormal. The Chen family and the Ling family have no friendship, and you are my defeated general. Why do you want to be friends with me for no reason?"

"Why? I can't just admire you as a person and want to make friends with you?" Chen Yan tilted his head and found her more and more interesting.

Ling Jiuan smiled, his eyes clear: "Oh, the world is bustling with people all for profit. In this place, no one will go out of their way to make friends with a weak person. I don't believe what you said."

Chen Yan clicked his tongue, suddenly raised his chin and nodded towards Lei Tingyi.

"What about him?"

Lei Tingyi frowned: "Me what?"

"Miss Ling Wu is a weakling, so why did you risk your life to hunt wild beasts to improve her strength? Why did you follow her all the way to the Ling family?"

Chen Yan smiled, as if everything was under his control.

However, as soon as he finished speaking, a hand reached out and grabbed his neck in the blink of an eye.

Chen Yan widened his eyes in astonishment, looking at Lei Tingyi, whose face was cold in front of him, and was immediately shocked and angry.

What surprised him was that the other party had no spiritual power at all, but was so fast that he was completely unprepared.

What made him angry was that he, the young master of the Chen family, could be defeated in the arena, but now he was strangled by a person with no cultivation in front of everyone!

Chen Yan grabbed Lei Tingyi's wrist, trying to pry his hand open.

Lei Tingyi pushed harder and harder, not letting go at all!

The tension between the two became increasingly tense.

He asked word by word: "Tell me, how did you know I was hunting wild beasts? Did you send someone to follow me?"

"I know, I know. Why...why should I tell you? Let me go!"

Chen Yan's face looked a little weak.

There are a lot of people around him, and he is the darling of the Chen family.

Ling Jiuan was afraid of getting into trouble. After all, when the secret realm was opened, the Chen family would also send people in, so he couldn't make enemies at this moment.

Thinking of this, she hurriedly grabbed Lei Tingyi's sleeve and shook her head to signal him to forget it.

Lei Tingyi originally had a tense expression on his face, but when he saw that she didn't want to pursue the matter further, he immediately relaxed his grip on her fingers.

Chen Yan covered his neck and coughed for a while, his face flushed with anger: "What a skill it is to sneak attack me when I was not prepared just now! Let's fight if you dare!"

"Have you had enough? This is a ring, not a place for you to yell."

Ling Jiuan frowned and scolded, and just as he spoke he saw a jade pendant on the ground.

She picked it up, and Chen Yan stretched out his hand and said, "This is my family heirloom jade pendant."

"Oh."

Ling Jiuan raised his eyebrows and said confidently: "Since I found it, it is up to me whether I return it to you or not. Come back and get it when the secret realm is opened. By then, you will have to explain clearly why you knew about Lei Tingyi's killing of wild beasts!"

After saying that, she pulled Lei Tingyi and turned away.

Chen Yan wanted to chase after him but was stopped by two guards.

"Alright young master, if you continue making trouble, people will talk about it again."

"There is no rush to retrieve the jade pendant. It has already attracted attention. Don't get involved with the fifth young lady of the Ling family anymore. Let's wait until the secret realm is opened."

The two of them blocked Chen Yan's way like a wall.

Chen Yan let out a breath, touched the red mark on his neck, and sneered: "Lei Tingyi, I will remember you! And Ling Jiuan..." She is also a very interesting woman.

He curled his lips slowly, with a hint of interest in his eyes.

Noticing that something was wrong with him, the guards looked at each other.

Got it!

It seems that their young master is feeling amorous.

In the corner, Ling Jiuan looked around and saw no one, then asked, "Didn't you go outside the city to hunt the wild beast that day?"

"Yes, so I can't understand why Chen Yan knew about this."

Lei Tingyi said calmly: "But it's not a big deal. Many people would risk fighting wild beasts to improve their cultivation. So what if he mentioned this."

Ling Jiuan nodded, but he was still afraid.

She looked at Chen Yan's receding back, not understanding what this man was thinking.

He came to my house for no reason and talked about making friends. I guess he must have lost the competition and was looking for trouble out of unwillingness!

Ling Jiuan curled his lips.

From now on, she wanted to see what tricks Chen Yan could come up with.

As she was thinking, there was already the sound of gongs and drums over there.

The ring competition officially began, and the young master of the Wen family clenched his fists and started fighting with his opponent.

There was abundant spiritual energy around the ring, and the young master of the Wen family was clearly stronger than his opponent, knocking him to the ground in just a few moves.

Later, several more challengers came up, and without exception they were defeated.

Lei Tingyi watched quietly, and waited until the competition was over before saying, "The more the Fire Cloud Pill helps him improve his strength, the more severe the backlash he will encounter. I'm afraid that the young master of the Wen family will suffer severe internal injuries when he returns, wasting his bright future."

In the end, the young master of the Wen family successfully defended his title without any suspense!

"It will be impossible for him to break through to the Golden Core stage again in his lifetime."

Ling Jiuan felt sorry after hearing this.

"So what exactly is he trying to achieve by doing this?"

Lei Tingyi looked expressionless.

"I am just a pawn of the family, I have no choice."

Ling Jiuan was speechless, watching the figure of the young master of the Wen family gradually disappear into the distance.

She suddenly thought of the pill that Lei Tingyi had given her before, which could restore her strength, and an idea came to her mind.

Can she make elixirs?
