Chapter 1628: Justice Before Family?

Following Shen Bijun’s gaze, everyone looked into the distance to see Long Chen and Cloud.

When they saw and heard that it was Long Chen, quite a few people let out startled cries. Although they had never seen Long Chen before, they had heard his name. There was no one who didn’t know of the Eastern Xuan Region’s demon king.

“You are?” asked Long Chen.

“Oh, I’m sorry, I am Shen Bijun, from the same sect as Zi Yan. In terms of seniority, she has to call me senior apprentice-sister. I’ve long since heard of your great name, and seeing you today is the blessing of three lifetimes. I wonder if young master Long Chen can give me face and come to chat with me for a bit?” Shen Bijun respectfully made an inviting gesture.

“Thank you, but my character is too coa.r.s.e. I wouldn’t want to be rude.” Long Chen cupped his fists slightly, tactfully declining her invitation.

Although this was just his first time seeing Shen Bijun, he could sense a barely discernible killing intent coming from her that made him very uncomfortable.

Most importantly, he didn’t know what she had done. Why would Zi Yan’s Seven String Sea Suppressing Zither wind up in her hands?

Although he was curious, he didn’t want to be with anyone from this group. He saw quite a few people glaring at him hatefully. He also saw w.a.n.g Shan and w.a.n.g Hai. Most likely, there would be people targeting him again if he went over, so all he wanted to do was leave.

“Young master Long Chen, please stay. Am I not worth you staying for you to leave so hastily?” Shen Bijun looked at Long Chen, seeming a bit disappointed and bitter. Shen Bijun was a remarkably beautiful woman, only slightly inferior to Meng Qi. Her elegant beauty combined with her current expression was something no man could refuse.

…

“This woman’s actually trying to seduce Long Chen. How shameless!” raged Tang Wan-er.

“I’ve long since told you that Long Chen’s very charismatic and that it wasn’t a good idea to let him show his face in such a situation, but you refused to believe me. Now you’re getting jealous again,” laughed Chu Yao.

“Hmph, this woman’s definitely up to no good. I feel irritated just looking at her. It’s no good, I’m going out. I’m not going to let her seduce Long Chen.” Tang Wan-er angrily glared at Shen Bijun.

Chu Yao laughed as she held Tang Wan-er back. If Tang Wan-er went out now, she would definitely cause trouble.

“Wan-er, don’t make a fuss yet. Long Chen isn’t the kind of man to be seduced. Furthermore, this matter isn’t so simple,” said Meng Qi gravely.

“What?” Chu Yao and Tang Wan-er were both startled.

“Have you noticed? These days, Shen Bijun has always been with Di Xin. She treated him very fondly, delighting Di Xin. When Han Feifei came, he sent someone to send her away, just to show Shen Bijun his affection for her. Shen Bijun has also expressed the same affection for Di Xin these days, but as soon as Long Chen arrived, she immediately acted like this to Long Chen without caring about Di Xin. Although Di Xin’s acting like he doesn’t mind, his eyes have turned cold. That emotion in them should be jealousy,” said Meng Qi.

Shen Bijun and Di Xin had both arrived several days earlier. The two of them were both peak geniuses and had begun discussing their cultivation experiences. In the eyes of others, their relations.h.i.+p had to be very good.

“Then you mean… this woman is intentionally harming Long Chen? But why would she do something like that? She has no enmity with him,” asked Tang Wan-er.

“I don’t know either. According to reason, since she’s Zi Yan’s senior apprentice-sister and would know Zi Yan’s feelings toward Long Chen, she wouldn’t act this way. However, she gives me a very uncomfortable feeling. I feel like she’s a deeply scheming woman. But don’t worry, Long Chen’s gaze is far sharper than mine. There’s no woman that can trick him. It’s always him tricking others, so let’s watch.”

Following Meng Qi’s deduction, Tang Wan-er calmed down. The three of them focused on Long Chen.

In the face of Shen Bijun’s strange actions, Long Chen was startled at first, but he quickly saw Di Xin’s eyes. He hid his emotions very well, but Long Chen saw the jealousy deep within his eyes.

He looked from Di Xin to Shen Bijun and smiled. “Miss Bijun has misunderstood. My temper is strange, and I’m not good at interacting with others. I wouldn’t want to accidentally be rude to you and everyone else.”

Although Shen Bijun was very beautiful, it wasn’t to the point of causing others to stop breathing. To attempt shaking Long Chen’s soul with just beauty might only be possible for Meng Qi. Shen Bijun was still greatly lacking

Long Chen’s first impression of Shen Bijun was extremely bad. He felt that this bad feeling came from the Nine Star Hegemon Body Art, so he didn’t want to get too close to her.

“Young master Long Chen is too humble. I’ve heard of your matchless miraculous feats. You dominated the Eastern Xuan Region, and I’ve even heard that you are skilled in the Music Dao. I’ve always been hoping to get your pointers. I still remember that when Zi Yan was roaming the world, she encountered you several times and benefited endlessly. Are you really unwilling to give me a few pointers?” asked Shen Bijun sadly, her gaze filled with wors.h.i.+p and admiration for Long Chen.
