Su Chen hesitated for a moment.

"You don't want to?" Lan Ge bit her lip, seemingly on the verge of tears.

"No, come on up." Seeing this scene, Su Chen couldn't bear to say no, so he stood up and bent slightly.

"Fool, you're so sweet." Lan Ge was suddenly all smiles again.

"Can we negotiate not calling me a fool? I'm really not foolish." Su Chen's hands fell onto Lan Ge's legs, hidden under the sheer veil, obviously causing Lan Ge's delicate body to tremble, her arms wrapped tightly around Su Chen's neck, her whole body nestled against him, sending his mind spinning.

"You're just a fool, a big fool." Lan Ge hummed playfully. Someone who doesn't want even a Mortal Shedding Level martial skill, someone who would give even Swallow's Saliva, if not a fool, then what?

"As long as you're happy." Su Chen was left speechless.

Yanxu Palace.

Lan Xian Pavilion.

"Young Master Bei, you're here again?" As Lan Ge's maid, Little Yang was always watching over Lan Ge's place when she was away, welcoming servants to clean the Lan Xian Pavilion and ushering those who came looking for Miss. In front of her was Bei Buxiu. Little Yang was somewhat helpless, ever since Miss went to Talent Mountain, Young Master Bei had come to Lan Xian Pavilion many times, especially recently, almost every other day.

Yet another man in love with Miss.

In the entire Yanxu Palace, there's not a single man who can resist Miss's charm.

Unfortunately, Little Yang knew very well that Miss hadn't fallen for any man so far, not even Young Master Bei.

In fact, in Little Yang's view, Young Master Bei was truly, truly, truly excellent.

Not worse than Yaun Tianyan and Xu Yi, who are both Young Palace Masters, and Young Master Bei was even the Palace Master's Closed-door Disciple, handsome, very suitable for Miss.

Unfortunate, Miss is simply merciless, showing no interest in Young Master Bei at all.

Little Yang really wanted to advise Young Master Bei to give up.

But, she couldn't say it.

Especially seeing Young Master Bei seemingly becoming more infatuated, all she could do was feel helpless inside, Miss! Just how many young talents will you leave heartbroken?

"Little Yang, did Miss Lan say when she'd be returning when she left?" Young Master Bei asked, indeed longing for Lan Ge. Initially, he thought his affection for Lan Ge was just a crush, similar to his feelings for Lin Yanran. Now, it seems it's not. He's genuinely in love with Lan Ge.

He even regretted not accompanying Lan Ge to Talent Mountain.

"Young Master Bei, Miss said she'd return once she breaks through."

"Alright then." Young Master Bei sighed.

"Young Master Bei, don't be too disheartened. Ultimately, Miss is a woman who will marry someday. From Little Yang's perspective, once Miss marries, it will surely be to you." Little Yang offered comfort, not speaking blindly. She felt that Miss probably wouldn't fall in love with a man in this lifetime, so it wouldn't matter who she marries. Miss would certainly leave the decision to the Palace Master, who evidently favors Young Master Bei.

Young Master Bei rejoiced, laughed, and nodded vigorously: "Indeed, I've been overthinking it."

Young Master Bei's mood improved tremendously. Unconsciously, he glanced in the direction of Qianlong First Pavilion, thinking to himself: "Su Chen, I barely want to kill you now. Once I marry the beauty, once I become Yanxu Palace's master, how can I not share my joy with you? You've been in Secluded Cultivation all the time, how ridiculous. Haha... have you ever seen the unparalleled charm of Lan Ge?"

Young Master Bei didn't know Su Chen had already left for Talent Mountain. He still thought Su Chen was in Secluded Cultivation.

While Young Master Bei was exultant.

Suddenly!!!

"Dong dong dong..." Several crisp, archaic bell sounds resonated throughout Yanxu Palace, drifting into the ears of everyone in Yanxu Palace.

"Hm?" Young Master Bei's expression changed, knowing what the ringing of the Yanxu Bell meant for everyone in Yanxu Palace.

It signals a major event in Yanxu Palace.

When the bell rings, everyone must immediately gather at the Martial Training Field.

Young Master Bei remained unperturbed and hurriedly made his way to the Martial Training Field.

By the time Young Master Bei arrived.

The entire Martial Training Field was packed, regardless of whether they were disciples of the Heaven Palace, Underground Palace, Xuan Palace, Human Palace, or those stewards, elders, etc., everyone was present.

Even Lan Dingtian, by the Palace Master, was there.

"Young Master." Huang Siyu had been waiting for Young Master Bei for a while. Recently, Young Master Bei had relaxed his cultivation a bit, allowing her some spare time. Initially, she thought her chance had come, perhaps she could offer herself successfully?

Unfortunately, she was overthinking it.

This time, Young Master Bei's thoughts were all focused on Lan Ge; how could he spare her a glance?

Truth be told, Huang Siyu was somewhat of a beauty, but compared to Lan Ge, she fell short, and Young Master Bei had lost all interest.

Thus, Huang Siyu was miserably anxious inside. At last, today was her chance, finally seeing Young Master Bei.

At this moment, she bowed slightly, with a pitiful look giving Young Master Bei a nod. She wore light makeup, looking quite beautiful, brimming with confidence.

Sadly, she miscalculated again.

"Hm." Young Master Bei merely responded with a nod, without any further indication.

Huang Siyu bit her lip, growing increasingly anxious: "Young Master, if you have time tonight, Siyu wishes to serve you."

"No need." Without even thinking, Young Master Bei directly refused.

If it had been before his heart leaned towards Lan Ge, he might have considered it. After all, Huang Siyu was fairly attractive, offering herself, why not play along?

But since his heart was set on Lan Ge now, he couldn't indulge himself.

At least, until he wins over Lan Ge, he needs to leave a good impression.

Although Lan Ge isn't in Yanxu Palace now, if tonight he lets Huang Siyu serve him, word might spread, and when Lan Ge returns, hearing about it wouldn't reflect well on his image.

Compared to Lan Ge, Huang Siyu was nothing, not even a blade of grass; can't let a weed ruin the major affair.

Thinking of Lan Ge, warmth stirred in Young Master Bei's heart, unable to resist recalling her unparalleled beauty and elegant nobility, intensifying the longing.

"This time, when Lan Ge returns, I'll exhaust every effort to win her over. She's mine, definitely mine." Young Master Bei thought to himself, secretly vowing.

Meanwhile, Huang Siyu's face turned pale instantly.

She never expected Young Master Bei to be so merciless, so cold.

But what could she do? She could only lower her head.

"Young Master, I..." Huang Siyu still wanted to say something but was directly interrupted by Young Master Bei: "Quiet."
