"Chen Yan, are you really sure you want to switch seats with Zheng Danling?" On the high platform, Su Qingshui gazed quietly at Chen Yan, finally confirming. If Chen Yan shook her head, she would stand up for Chen Yan at all costs.
"Saintess, I am sure." However, Chen Yan nodded without hesitation.
Deep in Su Qingshui's beautiful eyes, a complex expression appeared.
What a silly girl!
But in the martial arts world, such touching foolishness is not a good thing!
"Disperse, everyone. Chen Yan, come with me." After a moment of silence, Su Qingshui said, and then her ethereal figure had already disappeared.
"Yes." Chen Yan nodded and left with Su Qingshui.
Zheng Danling watched, snorted, feeling quite displeased. Su Qingshui was just so rigid. What's so good about Chen Yan? She's simply a fool, yet Su Qingshui values her so much. Could it be she has some brain problem?
"Su Qingshui, tomorrow, if Young Master Su takes a liking to me. At that time, with just one word, I can make you fall from the position of Saintess to the commonplace." Zheng Danling muttered to herself.
Some female disciples around, who originally had a good relationship with Zheng Danling, quickly gathered around, complimenting and fawning over her with words.
The smug smile on the corner of Zheng Danling's mouth became even more pronounced.
At this moment.
In Su Qingshui's room.
Su Qingshui and Chen Yan were sitting opposite each other.
"Chen Yan. Do you know what kind of opportunity you gave up?" Su Qingshui said softly, the complexity in her beautiful eyes finally bursting forth unreservedly: "Switching seats with Zheng Danling has basically decided tomorrow, at most you'll only be able to see Young Master Su from afar, and he won't see you. In martial arts cultivation, besides one's own efforts, sometimes luck is also needed. Back then, the reason I became the Saintess and was taken as a disciple by the Master was also mostly due to the fact that in the Ling Si Relics, I fortunately obtained a legacy. Before I received that legacy, my position in the Sword Emperor Palace wasn't much better than yours now."
"Saintess. Even if Young Master Su is as rumored to be fond of beauty, Chen Yan probably wouldn't catch his eye either." Chen Yan said with a bitter smile.
If this Young Master Su was indeed the Su Chen she knew, she knew all too well how high Su Chen's standards were. Even figures like Di Qiong or Heyue Nishang were of Qingcheng level beauty.
Before Su Qingshui could speak, Chen Yan continued: "Moreover, Chen Yan also has her own inner persistence."
What persistence? She longed for opportunities, as Qingshui said, martial arts cultivation requires opportunities.
But the opportunity she sought was not from a man's additional glance or interest.
"You and I are quite alike." Su Qingshui said with a bitter smile. In fact, although she advised Chen Yan to seize the opportunity tomorrow, deep down, she also felt a certain rejection. According to the Master and the Sword Emperor Palace, their Sword Phoenix Peak was to present seventy beauties to hopefully attract Su Chen. That was the intention of the Sword Emperor Palace and the Master.
As someone from the upper echelons, Su Qingshui could understand the desire to have some connection with Su Chen, but it made her uncomfortable.
Su Qingshui's beauty, compared to Chen Yan, was only better. Saying she was the number one in the Sword Emperor Palace might not be an exaggeration.
But deep down, she had already decided that tomorrow, she would be low-key and not dress up, just so she wouldn't be noticed by Su Chen, like in a beauty contest. Of course, she was a bit worried, subtly boasting to herself that even if she didn't dress up and deliberately kept a low profile, she would still stand out.
"Saintess. Actually, Young Master Su might not be like you think." Chen Yan bit her lip slightly, speaking softly.
She felt that both the Saintess and the Sword Emperor Palace might have some misunderstanding about Su Chen.
Indeed, Su Chen had many women around him, but that didn't necessarily mean he was overly lustful. At least, back then, when facing her, Su Chen showed no interest.
Subconsciously, Chen Yan also did not wish for Su Chen to be a lustful and desperate person.
"We'll know when we see him tomorrow." In Su Qingshui's beautiful eyes, a hint of anticipation emerged. The legendary foremost person of the time, at twenty-seven years old, the foremost person even without being in the Eternal Ancient Realm, who wouldn't be expectant?
"Take this." In the next moment, Su Qingshui had a Space Ring in her hand, which she handed to Chen Yan.
"Ah?" Chen Yan was taken aback, then shook her head.
"Take it. From now on, call me Sister Qingshui." Su Qingshui gave Chen Yan a look: "A silly girl like you, if I don't look after you, you'll suffer a lot."
Chen Yan was somewhat moved, yet also at a loss.
"Just take it. My martial cultivation resources are more than enough. This is surplus." Su Qingshui stuffed the Space Ring into Chen Yan's hand: "And from now on, be cautious of Zheng Danling. If she really bullies you, don't be afraid to come to me."
"Thank you, sister." Chen Yan felt touched and stood up, bowing slightly.
"Go on." Su Qingshui waved her hand. She had called Chen Yan over to give her some compensation, knowing that Chen Yan had switched seats with Zheng Danling today to make things easier for her, Su Qingshui.
After leaving Su Qingshui's room, Chen Yan headed towards her attic.
However.
On the road.
She still ran into someone she didn't want to encounter, Zheng Danling.
Zheng Danling had four or five female disciples around her, resembling lackeys or sycophants.
Zheng Danling's eyes lit up immediately: "Chen Yan? Tell me. What did the Saintess say to you?"
"Nothing." Chen Yan didn't want to engage with Zheng Danling and responded indifferently.
"Hmph. Probably comforted you, or even gave you some benefits, right?" Zheng Danling blocked Chen Yan's path directly, lifting her head proudly like a victorious kitten, her eye-corners cold and provocative.
"It's none of your business." Chen Yan remained indifferent.
The four or five lackeys around Zheng Danling were not willing to let it go:
"What are you pretending for?"
"Hmph. Compared to Sister Danling, what are you worth?"
"Sister Danling just has to say the word for you to be unable to stay in the Sword Emperor Palace."
"When Sister Danling gets chosen by Young Master Su tomorrow, not just you, even the Saintess will have to bow obediently."
"What's there to be proud of? Just because you have a somewhat decent face? It doesn't even look that good!"
......
"Chen Yan. Tomorrow. This lady will show you what a woman's charm truly is." Zheng Danling slightly leaned in, speaking in Chen Yan's ear: "A woman! If you don't know how to use your advantages, you're just a fool. When this lady becomes Young Master Su's woman, you'll regret it."
After saying this, Zheng Danling left directly, and her lackeys also glared fiercely at Chen Yan before leaving.
Chen Yan silently watched Zheng Danling's departing figure for a moment, then headed towards her own attic.
