He'd rather run than be turned into a cannon fodder for the broken engagement.

Back mountain.

"Wang Chen! Stop right there!"

"What do you mean? You don't want to acknowledge our engagement?!"

Just as they reached the huge boulder, they suddenly heard this sound. Leng Huan quickly grabbed Fu Xun and hid him!

But she didn't expect Fu Xun to get so close. She turned her head and almost bumped into him, startled so much that she almost screamed. Fu Xun quickly covered her mouth, signaling her to be quiet: "Shh."

A dozen or so feet ahead, the faint sound of voices could be heard; it was Wang Chen and Shen Hanyan.

The two seemed to have gotten into an argument.

Because Wang Chen's cultivation level was higher than theirs, Leng Huan held her breath and listened quietly. Seeing that she was eager to eavesdrop, Fu Xun didn't know whether to leave or stay, so he had no choice but to let her have her way and eavesdrop with her.

He wasn't interested in the argument ahead, and looked down at Leng Huan, who was lying motionless in his arms, with an inscrutable expression.

Leng Huan's attention was already drawn to Wang Chen and Shen Hanyan. He hadn't even realized that Fu Xun had just put his arm around him. He held onto Fu Xun's arm and didn't move, focusing on listening to the gossip.

cough!

Actually, she wasn't a gossip, but when she thought about the relationship between Wang Chen and Shen Hanyan... for some reason, her gossipy soul was ignited!

The villain and Shen Hanyan were childhood sweethearts who grew up together. They got engaged when Wang Chen arrived. To avoid a bad ending for Shen Hanyan, the villain had been trying to win her favor for the past few years, so that Shen Hanyan wouldn't get involved in a relationship with Long Aotian and be killed off.

To be honest, I don't know if the author is not good at writing romance scenes, but the relationships between Long Aotian and his harem are all rather inexplicable and awkward. But Shen Hanyan was not killed by Long Aotian, but... um? Leng Huan wondered, how did she die?

Wang Chen only said that he died because of the male lead, without going into details...

But, I wonder what kind of turning point will occur if things continue to develop in the current direction?

All that could be heard was Wang Chen seemingly explaining:

"No, listen to me, wasn't that engagement supposed to be just an agreement?"

"Besides, there's absolutely no romantic relationship between me and Fairy Leng! We're just... friends! That's all."

Shen Hanyan took a deep breath, her usually gentle face darkening as she coldly snorted, "Friends? Ha, as far as I know, Fellow Daoist Leng has only been in the sect for seven or eight days. How come, one of you grew up in the north and the other in the south, yet you became fast friends?"

Leng Huan: ? ? Me?

What does it have to do with her?

It's just that we occasionally run into Wang Chen and exchange a few pleasantries. That day, we talked for most of the night while he was kidnapping someone. Afterwards, we would arrange to meet privately to discuss some matters. It's only happened once or twice. Could it be that Shen Hanyan saw it?

Wang Chen was speechless: "..."

He stole a glance at Shen Hanyan.

Something's not right with you, cannon fodder female supporting character!

After glancing at Shen Hanyan a few times, I thought of her superb skill with the Magnolia Needle, which had an amazing therapeutic effect, but was also really painful!

He felt that his old back injury was about to flare up again.

Help!

Seeing that he had nothing to say, Shen Hanyan took a step closer to him, and the silver bell on her ankle made a soft "ding-ling" sound, which startled the tall and strong Wang Chen so much that he leaned against a rock.

She grabbed Wang Chen's collar with one hand, pulled him down, and whispered a soft laugh in his ear, her breath warm against his skin:

"Since we're friends, let's not go beyond what friends do."

"Otherwise, that sword cultivator won't let you off so easily."

Then her smile faded, and her voice turned cold: "As for the marriage agreement, the alliance between my Xinyi Valley and Huanyue Immortal Sect will not be easily torn up..."

Xinyi Valley is a renowned immortal sect specializing in medicine and cultivation. Its business is extensive, encompassing healing and saving lives. It has branches in various cities and towns, serving both mortals and cultivators.

Shen Hanyan is the only daughter of the Valley Master of Xinyi Valley. She has been practicing medicine since childhood and later entered Huanyue Immortal Sect to study, becoming the chief senior sister of the Medicine King Hall.

He is skilled in both medicine and toxicology.

Wang Chen swallowed hard. The two were so close, and the scent of Shen Hanyan filled his nostrils. His heart skipped a beat: "You, just talk, don't be violent!"

The thought of being so close to a beautiful woman made him blush.

Shen Hanyan shoved him away: "If I hear my disciple say again that you had a secret rendezvous with Fellow Daoist Leng... don't blame me for being ruthless, hmph!"

As she spoke, she raised her hand, revealing a tiny, incredibly sharp golden needle hidden between her slender fingers.

Wang Chenjun's face was covered in sweat, and he instantly felt his back hurt even more!

What the hell!

You're such a vicious cannon fodder female supporting character!

He shuddered: "I...I understand..."

For the past six months, he had been avoiding Shen Hanyan, but he only approached her again because of the upcoming Immortal Alliance Conference and the upcoming plot.

Otherwise, with the Medicine King's Palace being so terrifying, wouldn't it be better for him to stay comfortably in the Array Formation Hall?!

Mom, this is terrifying!

Why is Shen Hanyan so gentle and tender towards the male protagonist Long Aotian in the original novel, but like this towards him?

unfair!

Shen Hanyan was satisfied. She put her hand down, smoothed her hair, and revealed a gentle smile. Her smile was as beautiful as a flower, and her voice was sweet: "Brother Chen, I'll go to the square to get busy now. Goodbye."

Wang Chenhu's body trembled: "..."

terrible!

-

Oh no! Once Leng Huan hears that they're leaving, won't he pass by them on his way to the square?

As expected, Shen Hanyan turned around and came this way. Leng Huan subconsciously activated the magic weapon, which instantly covered her and Fu Xun like an invisible curtain. There was no one around the rocks.

Shen Hanyan hummed a little tune and walked straight past them. Meanwhile, Wang Chen was lost in thought, his divine sense not released, and with the magic treasure concealing it, he could not detect Leng Huan and the other two.

Patting his chest, Wang Chen waited until Shen Hanyan left before straightening up. He straightened his torn clothes and, seeing that he was unharmed, began to climb the mountain. He didn't stop when he passed Leng Huan and the others, still patting his chest and muttering things like "Ya Meidie" and "a beauty too good for her."

Leng Huan: "..."

After they had all gone far away, she breathed a sigh of relief and suddenly smelled a scent similar to that of snow-covered pine trees. Only then did she realize that she and Fu Xun had been standing too close!

The cool fragrance was the same scent he carried; it was very strong, unlike anything he usually smelled like when he was close to someone.

He immediately let go and silently retreated, removing the magic weapon and ignoring the slight unease in his heart. He turned to Fu Xun and said, "It's alright, let's go."

Fu Xun lightly brushed off any imaginary dust from his sleeve and nodded: "Mm."

After a short break, Leng Huan couldn't help but gossip with Fu Xun again: "Did you hear what they were saying just now?"

The rocks were huge, and Leng Huan couldn't see what was going on between them. Shen Hanyan spoke very softly when she got close to Wang Chen, so Leng Huan didn't hear her clearly.

Could it be that Shen Hanyan misunderstood me because I went to see Wang Chen?

That's true. They're engaged now, so Wang Chenye meeting with other female cultivators would definitely have a negative impact.

Fu Xun shook his head. He hadn't been listening; he was lost in thought and had no idea what they were saying.

Leng Huan felt regret.

She and Wang Chen were at most like brothers in misfortune, fellow villagers; Shen Hanyan had truly misunderstood.

Wait a minute!

Misunderstand? !

Could it be that she thought she and Wang Chen had something going on...?

Shen Hanyan no longer likes Long Aotian?

Has she fallen for her fiancé?

Leng Huan hissed.

Fu Xun: "What?"

"It's nothing." Leng Huan looked at Fu Xun: "You should try harder." Other girls have all successfully stolen their boyfriends away.

Fu Xun: ?

The back mountain of the main peak is very large. Now that it's late afternoon, the disciples have all gone to watch the battle, and only occasionally can you see a disciple passing by.

Leng Huan stopped, tilted his head and looked at Fu Xun for a moment before asking, "Before you start cultivating, I have something to ask you."

"Yin Xun, don't you find it boring to cultivate in seclusion all the time?"

Fu Xun: "How can cultivation be boring?"

"..."

Leng Huan: No wonder he's a dragon overlord!

Spring sunshine shines on pear blossoms, their fragrance like snow piled high on white jade.

Pear blossoms drifted down from the steps, and Leng Huan suddenly asked teasingly, "So, do you have someone you like?"

The gentle breeze is uncomprehending; why does it disturb people's hearts?

After a moment of silence, Fu Xun lowered his eyes and glanced at her, answering softly, "Yes."

I was prepared to hear his cold and indifferent reply, "No."

Leng Huan was so surprised to hear this that he thought he had misheard.

Really?

She looked at his expression suspiciously, and went through all the female cultivators she knew in her mind, but she couldn't think of anyone who had any ambiguous relationship with Fu Xun!

Throughout the entire sect, men and women alike, after thinking it over, the female cultivators didn't interact with Fu Xun as much as the male disciples of Sword Peak!

Wait, could he be talking about a man?

Crack... Leng Huan suddenly felt like he had been struck by lightning.

I forgot to ask Wang Chen, this novel shouldn't be from that Green River website, right?

……

While lost in thought, I heard Fu Xun say lightly again:

"she does not know."

Leng Huan immediately turned his head and tentatively asked, "Is he a man or a woman?"

Fu Xun's expression was indescribable. He only gave her a look, seemingly saying nothing, and then walked away.

"..."
