It truly is my fault.

I feel very guilty.

If it weren't for today's unexpected encounter, perhaps even if he ascended, he might not visit Lingya Sect to see Chen Yan and Chen the Fatty.

And as Su Chen spoke the words 'I'm sorry.'

In an instant!

The hall was filled with dead silence.

Everyone was stunned.

Su Chen actually... actually... actually knew the female disciple named Chen Yan?

It seems, the relationship is very deep?

This...

"......" Chen Yan was at a loss for what to say; her heart suddenly felt chaotic.

If Su Chen hadn't said the words 'I'm sorry' it would have been fine, but after he said 'I'm sorry', she truly felt a little wronged.

Su Chen left without a word, and in the past year or two, he hadn't visited Lingya Sect even once.

Maybe, he had long since forgotten her.

"Young Master Su, you're busy, Yan'er understands." Chen Yan said softly.

Su Chen's lips formed a faint, bitter taste; he naturally heard the trace of grievance and distance in Chen Yan's words.

"I... I'm sorry. I will compensate you in the future." Su Chen vowed; he didn't mean it that way, but the words, once spoken, carried a different flavor.

It was like a man who made a mistake coaxing his woman.

Inside the hall, it was even quieter, not even the sound of breathing was heard.

Everyone was completely stunned.

No one was a fool.

They all understood that Chen Yan was Su Chen's woman?!

Zheng Danling was on the verge of madness due to jealousy!

Chen Yan actually... actually was Young Master Su's woman? How could this be? How could it? Her face contorted, fists clenched tightly; jealousy was driving her to lose her sanity.

What she dreamed of obtaining had long since belonged to Chen Yan?

How is that fair?

"Humph, I'll wait for your compensation." Chen Yan was initially stunned, then giggled, her mood instantly improved, and all her grievances seemed to dissipate; instead, her heart filled with a hint of sweetness.

She hadn't had many interactions with Su Chen, but the impression was profound enough.

Especially now, with Su Chen being so, so, so dazzlingly bright; she didn't mind not knowing him, but having crossed paths with him, other men would evidently pale in comparison to Su Chen, who outshone them like blades of grass.

Whether subconsciously or consciously, she could only have feelings for Su Chen, even if it was just a tiny hint, but it was there.

Of course, most importantly, what Su Chen said earlier made her realize that Su Chen hadn't changed despite his crazily soaring strength.

He seemed to remain the Su Chen from her memories.

"Alright." Seeing Chen Yan seemingly forgive him, Su Chen also laughed, feeling buoyant; visiting Sword Emperor Palace and unexpectedly encountering Chen Yan, what a fortunate happenstance!

Then.

Su Chen directly turned his head towards Yang Chengjian and said, "Sect Master Yang, I got to know Chen Yan when I first came to the War Ancient Sky. My relationship with her..."

Su Chen paused.

How should he put it? It was hard to say.

Yang Chengjian's face was filled with the expression of 'I understand', 'I understand'.

"Anyway, thank you, Sect Master Yang, for taking care of Chen Yan." Su Chen took a deep breath and said.

"Hahaha..." Yang Chengjian laughed heartily, his mood soaring even higher than Su Chen's. He originally wondered whether Su Chen could select one or several of Sword Emperor Palace's female disciples to draw Su Chen into Sword Emperor Palace's faction, little did he expect...

It's great.

Wonderful indeed!

"Su Chen. What's so good about her?" And then, at that very moment, Zheng Danling spoke up.

Jealousy, it can drive women mad! Lose their minds!!

Zheng Danling was just that.

She couldn't possibly see any worth in Chen Yan! In her view, Chen Yan, apart from being pretty, had nothing.

No personal talent for martial cultivation, no strength, no background whatsoever.

Simply not worthy of comparison with herself.

But who would have thought...

That one day, the woman she despised to the bone, would possess what Zheng Danling desired most and more than anything...

This kind of disparity made Zheng Danling directly forget about Su Qingshui's instructions, forget Sect Master Yang Chengjian's warnings.

"Hmm?" Su Chen was taken aback; truth be told, he hadn't even noticed Zheng Danling before; he completely overlooked her, although she dressed quite eye-catchingly today, but in Su Chen's eyes, it was just so-so. Among his women, any one of them would be far more beautiful than Zheng Danling, wouldn't they?

"Su Chen! What she has, I have. What she doesn't have, I also have." Seeing Su Chen look at her, Zheng Danling continued, "I can be your woman."

"Zheng Danling, shut up!!!" Yang Chengjian's face turned extremely ugly, wishing he could slap Zheng Danling to death; had his warnings fallen on deaf ears?

Zheng Jiuxing's face turned equally ashen.

"Zheng Danling. Stop talking." Su Qingshui also raised her head, urgingly, although she did not have a good impression of Zheng Danling, she didn't want Zheng Danling to meet a tragic end for provoking Su Chen. From what she knows, Su Chen has a bad temper and is not a merciful person; provoking Su Chen, Zheng Danling might not even know how she died.

"You shut up. It's all your fault. You clearly knew that the cheap woman Chen Yan already knew him. You deliberately agreed on switching seats with Chen Yan just to see me embarrassed!!!" Zheng Danling directly shouted, angrily and venomously glaring at Su Qingshui.

"......" Su Qingshui simply fell silent; what did she know? She knew nothing. Some say, what the heart thinks is what one sees in others, and Zheng Danling's mind is too dark.

"Nothing to say? Hypocritical woman." Zheng Danling sneered; today, out of seventy female disciples, perhaps only Su Qingshui and Chen Yan did not deliberately dress-up and apply makeup; she had long since been displeased with them, two pretentious white lotus.

Don't tell her Su Qingshui and Chen Yan have no designs on Su Chen.

She wouldn't believe it.

True enough, Su Chen originally knew Chen Yan.

Chances are, Su Qingshui knew long ago.

"Slap!" It was at this moment, unexpectedly.

A crisp sound suddenly reverberated in the hall.

Su Chen, like a phantom, stood in front of Zheng Danling.

Face to face.

This slap was struck by him.

Zheng Danling directly calling Chen Yan a cheap woman, Su Chen naturally wouldn't endure it; he generally doesn't hit women, but some women have a foul mouth and ask for it, then it's an exception.

Originally, Su Chen felt guilty about Chen Yan, so could he not defend her?

Though Su Chen didn't use much force.

But, with this slap, it was evident that half of Zheng Danling's face was swollen.

Her whole body flew backward.

Heavily fell to the ground.

"You... you... you dare hit me?!!!" Zheng Danling was laid on the ground, nearly disheveled, screaming with venom and rage.

"Damn it!" Yang Chengjian's expression was as unsightly as pig liver, already shaking with rage; he shouted, "Zheng Danling, get out, get out..."
