Ling Xiao had thought of all kinds of possibilities before this, but he didn't expect Lie Ruyu to suddenly mention that matter.
Thinking back to the time when he "accidentally" used an invincible move, he wanted to Lie Ruyu to back off. Unexpectedly, she fell for it.
Now that she suddenly mentioned this matter, could it be that she wanted to use this matter to make trouble for him?
"I have a little impression, no, I don't think I have any impression." Ling Xiao showed some fear.
With his current strength, he wasn't afraid of Lie Ruyu, but this was her territory, he couldn't make her unhappy.
If he admitted that he had an impression, wouldn't it mean that he still remembered the "chest attack" incident?
Lie Ruyu curled his lips and said, "You don't mean what you say. I called you here to introduce Senior Sister Zhou to you. Back then, you were the one who took Senior Sister Zhou's golden branch, so Senior Sister Zhou is yours!"
"Miss, some things can't be said casually, it will damage Miss Zhou's reputation!" Ling Xiao waved his hand.
"What I said is the truth, do you want to renege?" Lie Ruyu pressed.
The reason why she did this was to shorten the distance between Ling Xiao.
However, she didn't know that this made Ling Xiao feel very disgusted.
Ling Xiao frowned, looked at Zhou Zhijing and said, "Miss Zhou, I didn't mean to take the golden branch, but the vice headmaster ordered me to come. If there is any misunderstanding, please forgive me!"
Although Zhou Zhijing was beautiful, Ling Xiao was no longer the love-struck youth he used to be, liking everyone he saw.
These days, the taste he pursued was different.
Zhou Zhijing felt a little uncomfortable. First, she was used by Lie Ruyu as a shield, and now, she was pierced by thousands of arrows. How could she put her face?
One had to know that she was the target of many outstanding people in the Merchant Union.
She said to Ling Xiao, "Regardless of whether Elder did it intentionally or unintentionally, the golden fork was indeed taken by you. Could it be that you despise me for not being able to enter Elder's eyes?"
As she said that, she threw a resentful look at Ling Xiao, making Ling Xiao look like a person who abandoned her after using her.
Ling Xiao couldn't take it anymore.
"What exactly do you want? Tell me clearly, or I won't serve you!" Ling Xiao shouted at the two women with a cold face.
He thought to himself, "I've given you some face and you want to open a dye house? Do you really think that I'm easy to bully? If you dare to continue, I might as well eat all of you!"
With that, Ling Xiao turned around and was about to leave the flower boat.
It was true that Lie Ruyu was a young lady of the Merchant Union, but Ling Xiao had also spanked her butt. He lowered his status to talk to her because he knew his limits, but if this continued, he wouldn't be in the mood to play.
Zhou Zhijing really didn't think that Ling Xiao would fall out with her just like that. She felt a little apologetic in her heart, but she also didn't understand why Ling Xiao was so bold as to not even listen to her Junior Sister's words?
Lie Ruyu wasn't afraid of anything, but she was afraid of Ling Xiao's anger.
When she thought of how Ling Xiao disregarded her status and beat her up in the Chaotic Ridge, and how he hit her in that sensitive area, she was embarrassed.
"Don't … don't go first, I was only joking with you!" Lie Ruyu called out in a soft voice.
She wanted to thank Ling Xiao, not make Ling Xiao angry.
But when she thought of how Ling Xiao wasn't tempted by her Senior Sister's beauty, she felt a little happy in her heart.
"I don't have time to joke with you. Say it, what's the matter? Make it clear, I still need to go back to sleep!" Ling Xiao said with a cold face.
"I … I …" Lie Ruyu became incoherent for a moment.
She just wanted to spend more time with Ling Xiao, and it would be best if she could express her feelings.
But when the words were at the tip of her mouth, she couldn't say it.
"Junior Sister, where's your usual boldness? If you have something to say, say it!" Zhou Zhijing came to Lie Ruyu's side and patted the back of her hand to encourage her.
Lie Ruyu hesitated for a moment, and her beautiful eyes flashed with some struggle. She gritted her teeth and said, "Nothing, I just wanted to invite you over for a drink to thank you for saving my life!"
Zhou Zhijing also didn't know what to say. She clapped her hands and asked the servants to serve the wine and dishes.
Ling Xiao didn't stand on ceremony, and after drinking three big cups with her, he said, "You're a mistress, it's my duty to save you. Moreover, the Deputy Master increased my treatment, and I can't thank you enough. Let's call it a night, thank you for your hospitality!"
After saying that, Ling Xiao didn't care about the two girls anymore, and turned to leave the flower boat.
Lie Ruyu wanted to persuade him to stay, but in the end, she couldn't open her mouth.
After Ling Xiao left, Lie Ruyu finally grabbed the wine cup and drank it in one go!
Zhou Zhijing just accompanied by the side and didn't say anything, but in her heart, she was a little interested in Ling Xiao.
He was probably the first person who dared to treat her Junior Sister like this, and he was just a guest elder in the Merchant Union.
Lie Ruyu felt wronged in her heart. Since she was young, who dared to give her a bad attitude? Even some Divine Kings had to be respectful in front of her.
Moreover, with her looks, although she didn't dare to call herself the number one beauty in the Heaven Domain, she was still a woman who was ranked in the top, and was pursued by many rich and famous people.
However, Ling Xiao never took her seriously.
"Why is it like this?
Why … "Lie Ruyu frantically scratched her head, and her beautiful eyes rippled with tears.
She couldn't understand what was wrong with her.
When she thought that Ling Xiao died, she felt sad for him. Now that he came back alive, she didn't know how to face it. Moreover, she felt that Ling Xiao didn't have the slightest interest in her, and this was what made her feel the most terrible.
Zhou Zhijing lightly patted Lie Ruyu's fragrant shoulder and said, "Little Junior Sister, actually you don't have to be sad, everything is as expected!"
"Senior Sister, are you also laughing at me?" Lie Ruyu said with some dissatisfaction.
Zhou Zhijing said, "No, what I said is true." She paused for a moment and then said, "Ling Xiao is only a guest of the Merchant Union, and you are the Merchant Union's Miss. He must be aware of his reputation, and he doesn't dare to be with you, so he is acting like this. Moreover, you have only known him for a short time, if you come into contact with him in the future, I believe that with little Junior Sister's outstanding beauty, he will definitely not be able to escape from the palm of your hand."
Lie Ruyu thought about Zhou Zhijing's words, and a look of understanding appeared in her beautiful eyes. She said, "That's right, maybe it's really as Senior Sister said. He … … He might not dare to have any improper thoughts about me."
"That's right, so if you like him, you should first understand him, and let him understand your good, so that the two of you can be together as cultivation partners, husband and wife. Otherwise, if it is your wishful thinking, he won't cherish it!" Zhou Zhijing said very insightfully.
Lie Ruyu relaxed and said with a smile, "Who's wishful thinking, I don't like that pervert!"
Although she said so, in her heart, she was thinking about how to create more opportunities with Ling Xiao.
…
Ling Xiao returned to his own courtyard. He had just broken through to the high-level Holy Emperor, and it was not suitable for him to go into seclusion, so he took Xiao Ling to Raging Flame City.
Xiao Ling had always lived in the village with her grandfather, and at most had been to Heqing City once or twice, so she was very curious about everything in Raging Flame City.
She always looked around from time to time, and looked at all kinds of pedestrians and shops, her delicate face rippling with a few traces of red.
"Brother Ling Xiao, it's so lively here," Xiao Ling said happily, holding Ling Xiao's hand.
"Of course, this is one of the most prosperous cities in the Sky Dragon Territory," Ling Xiao replied, then pulled Xiao Ling into a shop that specialized in female accessories.
The accessories here were not ordinary, and were at least Spiritual or Holy Artifacts, such as gold and silver hair branches, bracelets, chains … They all contained defensive or other functions.
Ling Xiao picked a few different accessories, and prepared to take them back as small gifts for his woman.
At the same time, he took a green butterfly accessory and put it on Xiao Ling's beautiful hair, adding a touch of charm to her.
"It's beautiful," Ling Xiao praised, and did not take it off. They went to pay the Glazed Crystal.
Xiao Ling's big eyes flashed with joy, and her jade-like hand caressed the butterfly on her hair, as if she loved it very much.
Just as Ling Xiao was about to take Xiao Ling out of the trading shop, a coquettish voice rang out, "Young Master, I want that hair accessory."
A young man and woman suddenly appeared beside Ling Xiao and Xiao Ling. The man was dressed extravagantly and had a ten-thousand-year-old cold jade hanging from his waist. It was obvious that he had an extraordinary family background. His eyes always had a lecherous glint in them as he constantly scanned the women in the shop. The woman's looks were not bad. In addition to her revealing clothes, she appeared sexy and seductive. Her breasts that were about to drop down almost burst the short shirt that she was wrapped in. Her face was covered with heavy makeup, and she looked very worldly.
The woman was pointing at Xiao Ling's hair accessory with a look of jealousy.
When the man saw Xiao Ling's beautiful appearance, he was immediately shocked, and a strong desire to possess her arose in his heart.
His lecherous appearance made Ling Xiao feel very uncomfortable.
However, Ling Xiao could not be bothered to lower himself to the same level as these two. He pulled Xiao Ling out of the shop.
Who knew that before the two of them walked out of the shop, two people would block in front of Ling Xiao and Xiao Ling.
The man in the luxurious clothing chased after them from the shop and smiled, "Please wait. I am Lie Yinchun from the Lie family. I would like to be friends with the two of you. What do you think?"
Within the Celestial Dragon Territory, everyone only knew about the Blazing Flame Merchants, and very few people mentioned the Lie family.
In fact, the founder of the Blazing Flame Merchants came from the Lie family. This relationship was a bit similar to the relationship between the Kim people and Dragon Gate.
However, between the Kim people and Dragon Gate, it was the Kim people's people who stood above Dragon Gate. On the other hand, between the Blazing Flame Merchants and the Lie family, it was the Blazing Flame Merchants who stood above the Lie family. They were completely different in nature.
The reason was that the founder of the Blazing Flame Merchants was only a collateral descendant in the Lie family. He was not valued by the family at all. When he succeeded one day and established the Blazing Flame Merchants, he did not have much affection for his original family. If it were not for the pleading of his elders, he would never have allowed the Lie family to enter his merchant union.
After countless years of development, the Lie family now held many important positions in the merchant union.
This Lie Yinchun was a member of the Lie family. However, his position was different from that of the original Blazing Flame Merchants, which was led by Lie Ruyi.
