At this moment, Ling Yao''s shy appearance was seen by a few people, how could they still not understand?


    "By the way, do you know where that boy lives?"


    Ling Long immediately asked.


    "Mother, you don''t want to..."


    Ling Yao stood up, and before leaving, said somewhat uneasily.


    "Miss, are you worried that the Pce Master will kill that boy?"


    Sun Qi joked with a smile.


    "Don''t worry, that boy won''t be in any danger."


    Lan Yun nced at her teasingly:


    "At most, we''ll let him know that peeping at our Miss while she''s bathing,es at a price!"


    "That''s not what I meant!"


    Ling Yao''s face turned even redder at these words, like a ripe apple!


    At this time, Ling Yao lookedpletely different from her usual cold and arrogant self, as if she had be a different person!


    And this kind of look only appears in one situation, that is, when a girl is in love!


    Regardless of the type of woman, their reaction in such moments is probably simr!


    However, when she heard from Aunt Sun and Aunt Lan that they wouldn''t harm Su Chen, she felt relieved, and then she shared thest information Su Chen had told her.


    "Alright, Xiao Yao, you can go now. I have something to discuss with Aunt Liu and the others."


    At this time, Ling Long waved her hand and said.


    Ling Long heard this and had to retreat.


    "Pce Master, I will personally investigate that boy."


    Before Ling Long could speak, Sun Qi said. They had been together for so many years, this level of tacit understanding still existed.


    "Hmm, we''ll discuss it further once you have results from your investigation."


    Ling Long nodded and said.


    "But Shengyi Gate''s pressing us like this is simply too much! Do they really think our Lingyue Pce is made of mud?"


    At this time, Lan Yun''s eyes shed sharply as she said this!


    "Exactly, it''s outrageous!"


    Sun Qi echoed, equally indignant.


    "You don''t need to be so angry. You should understand very well why Shengyi Gate is doing this."


    Ling Long said calmly:


    "They want to marry Yaoyao only to annex our Lingyue Pce. At the very least, they want to bind us to them."


    "This time they dared to be so tant because they knew we weren''t around, leaving only Liu Yin to guard."


    "In fact, this time we really need to thank that boy Su Chen for stirring things up. Otherwise, they wouldn''t have given up so easily."


    "If it weren''t for that boy sparring with Mo Wei, leaving them speechless, they might have mobilized more experts to coerce Sister Liu and Sister Xiao Yao into agreeing."


    Sun Qi also nodded and said.


    "In the end, it''s because our strength is insufficient. There''s still quite a gap between us and Shengyi Gate."


    Ling Long sighed and continued.


    Although Liu Yin, Sun Qi, and Lan Yun were somewhat unwilling, they knew this was the truth.


    Otherwise, how would Shengyi Gate dare to act like this?


    In fact, they all understood. Although the Huaxia martial arts world considered Lingyue Pce, Hidden Dragon Hall, and Shengyi Gate to be top-tier forces, their actual strengthpared to the other two was still quite evidently different!


    As for whether Hidden Dragon Hall or Shengyi Gate was more powerful, that was unclear!


    To be precise, everyone had mutual deterrents and bnces!


    The reason they were grouped together was just a fancy title!


    Therefore, Ling Long and others always wanted to improve their strength. The measure of a martial arts power''s strength wasn''t based on the lower tiers, but on some of the top people''s power!


    For example, the overall strength of Lingyue Pce''s Liu Yin, Sun Qi, and Lan Yun was slightly weaker than some Elders of Shengyi Gate and Hidden Dragon Hall''s protectors.


    Of course, Pce Master Ling Long''s strengthpared to Shengyi Gate''s Sect Leader and Hidden Dragon Hall''s Hall Master was also likely a bit weaker.


    This time Ling Long and the others went out to improve their strength, but the results didn''t seem satisfactory...


    .....


    At the same time, Su Chen was cultivating at home. He had nopany matters in the afternoon, so he came back to cultivate.


    Now he had already opened up most of the meridians of the first channel, and it was estimated that in a few days he couldpletely open it up. By then, he would truly enter the Meridian Expansion Realm!


    He was looking forward to seeing how much his strength would increase after entering the Meridian Expansion Realm!


    But of course, the old question still lingered in his heart: what should he do after entering the Meridian Expansion Realm?


    Even though his strength would be greatly enhanced after entering the Meridian Expansion Realm, he didn''t have the confidence to deal with Shengyi Gate!


    Actually, he also had means to speed up the process, like that Spirit Stone, which he hadn''t used yet.


    But the Spirit Stone was too precious, and he was reluctant to use it. He nned to use it only when he was really about to break through!


    Su Chen had been cultivating for several hours, and after finishing, he thought of another matter.


    That was, he stillcked a suitable weapon. Although he was proficient with a dagger, its benefits were obvious, its shorings were also apparent; it was too short!


    With the improvement in his realm, he found that a sword was more suitable most of the time!


    For example, when he dealt with those Blood n membersst time, if he had a sword, it might have been much easier!


    Although he now had the Dragon-ying Sword, it was a magic artifact, too powerful to be used in general situations!


    Thinking of this, the first person that came to his mind was naturally that old chatan Zhuge!


    If Zhuge Dongming knew this, who knows whether he wouldugh or cry, probably more crying!


    It was gettingte, and Su Chen nned to visit Zhuge Dongming''s courtyard tomorrow!


    Just then, his phone rang. It was a call from Xiao Yaning, so he immediately answered it.


    Xiao Yaning told him she had arrived in Yandu and asked him to wee her.


    Su Chen thought about it, he hadn''t seen her for a long time, so he agreed.


    Su Chen then drove to Elegant Heights Hotel, a five-star hotel where Xiao Yaning was staying.


    When he arrived at the hotel entrance, Xiao Yaning was already waiting there.


    At this moment, Xiao Yaning''s long hair was slightly draped behind her, she wore a cowl-neck sweater, a white coat, and casual slim-fit jeans with long boots.


    This outfit not only perfectly showcased her tall, slender figure but also exuded the aura of a metropolitandy!


    Her appearance was still as exquisite and wless as ever, making people marvel!


    Men entering and leaving the hotel couldn''t help but pause their gaze on her for a few seconds!


    But shepletely ignored those men''s looks.


    When she saw that long-awaited figure appear, her face immediately burst into a smile as warm as spring, and she walked towards him...
