“What do you mean, Senior Gan?” Long Chen asked, shocked.

“There’s no need to hide it. Everyone knows already.”

Gan Lin smiled wryly. “We all know what just happened. The two of you admitted your relationship in front of Chu Yunxi, and I believe in no time, this will spread throughout the Green Faction. Before the fight in the inner faction selection begins, I think this will be the biggest piece of gossip…”

“d.a.m.n it!”

Long Chen scolded inside. He knew that this was definitely Liu Lan’s work.

He absolutely could not reveal that she had plotted for him to watch her bathing. He could only continue on with this ridiculous lie, but it was this type of gossip that gathered everyone’s interest…

“Looks like my reputation will spread to the nine great outer factions, since I’ve stolen Chu Yunxi’s love from him and thoroughly disregarded him. d.a.m.n it, Liu Lan, I’m completely done for in the inner faction selection!”

Long Chen really had the impulse to catch her alive and skin her.

After bidding Gan Lin farewell, Long Chen returned to his residence. Unexpectedly, Liu Ling, who was staying next door, was watching him coldly from the entrance to her residence.

“You b.a.s.t.a.r.d, I won’t let you touch a single hair on my sister!”

Having said this, the door closed with a bang.

“Huh?”

There was no way to describe how Long Chen was feeling.

“Oh well, just do whatever you want. I’ll cultivate diligently, not just for Liu Qing but also for myself. I must definitely pa.s.s the inner faction selection!”

“But fighting against the top talents of all the nine great outer factions is incredibly stressful…”

After he opened the door, Lingxi was already awaiting his presence.

When he saw Lingxi’s worried expression, Long Chen suddenly felt a feeling of peace come over him.

It was as if he had been wandering and risking his life outside for ten years, and was only now returning to his anchor, his home.

“You’re back?”

“Yeah.”

The next ten days were spent on cultivation.

In these ten days, he spent two on killing demonic beasts at the Sky Martial Realm. He was still unable to deal with level 5 profound-grade demonic beasts, and could only settle for hunting level 4 beasts.

In two days, he killed a total of four level 4 profound-grade demonic beasts.

What had happened with Liu Lan had already spread in the outer faction, and the Green Emperor Hall quickly became the laughing stock of the outer faction. All jokes were made at their expense. While in the Sky Martial Realm, Long Chen kept a low profile, and hence, no problems arose.

For those few days, he was truly like a mouse, concealing himself as best as possible to prevent disputes. He did not take the demonic cores and beast spirits to the Treasure Exchange Pavilion to be converted into contribution points.

At this point, Lingxi had already found out what had happened to Long Chen. However, this version had been modified, and she only held more contempt towards Liu Lan.

However, the inner faction selection was right around the corner.

“Let’s not even consider if Chu Yunxi will attack me during the inner faction selection. Many of the other geniuses have the same level of strength as Chu Yunxi. My goal is the inner faction, and the perfect mastery stage at the Human Dan Realm is definitely not enough.”

Sitting in the s.p.a.cious bas.e.m.e.nt, Long Chen devoured the blood of level 4 profound-grade demonic beasts. However, they had little effect. After using Blood Trans.m.u.tation, he was only able to get infinitely nearer to the Earth Dan Realm.

The inner faction was definitely holding high expectations for the selection.

Those who could distinguish themselves in each selection were absolute geniuses. Even after entering the inner faction, they would definitely be able to shine. On top of that, this was a platform for compet.i.tion within the nine outer factions. Though they were generally united, compet.i.tion was not scarce amongst them. The outer factions had restrained themselves, all so they could show off in the selection and secure their status amongst the outer factions.

Those who were particularly expectant towards the selection were definitely of the Green Faction.

All of the partic.i.p.ants from the other factions were on good terms and were exceptional partners. However, on the Green Faction’s end, there was Long Chen, who had been chosen despite being at the Human Dan Realm, and had a huge feud with Chu Yunxi.

Everyone loved gossip, and n.o.body was unaware of Long Chen and Chu Yunxi being at odds over a woman.

The most mysterious character here was Long Chen. He had only just entered the outer faction two months ago, and he had already risen at an insane pace, from the eighth Dragon Vein till the perfect mastery stage at the Human Dan Realm.

His success at his cultivation and love life were both shocking. Everyone had a.s.sumed that Chu Yunxi would definitely get together with Liu Lan, and yet Long Chen had stolen his superior’s heart. It was akin to a great cabbage being provided to swine, or a beautiful flower stuck in cow dung.
