Chapter 46 (1/2)

“Ruyan, I’m here to talk about an event in Broken Sky City,” Lin Gutian said with a smile.

‘Ruyan?’

Upon hearing Lin Gutian addressing her so intimately, Lin Ruyan felt uneasy.

However, he was a powerful Inner Residence Greatest Disciple in Lin Clan Sect Residence, thus her face remained expressionless. “What event?”

Lin Gutian was secretly displeased when he noticed her neutral face.

He remembered very clearly that she was very ladylike toward Lin Han that day.

On the contrary, he could sense her indifference through her eyes at that moment.

‘Lin Han?’

As such, Lin Gutian became more jealous of Lin Han.

Nevertheless, he was able to hide that feeling. He smiled gently. “Half a month later, a Martial Arts Exchange for the younger generation will be held by us ‘Five Prides of Broken Sky’ in Broken Sky City. Plenty of young masters from the three great forces, which are the Lin Clan Sect Residence, the Shen Clan Sect Residence, and the Governor’s Residence, will participate.”

Lin Gutian was proud.

Especially when he emphasized on ‘us Five Broken Sky Prides’, he expressed his superiority. He later added, “Ruyan, it’s a rare opportunity, and I want you to join me as my martial arts partner.”

He spoke in a bossy tone.

After finally revealing his intention, he stared at Lin Ruyan closely.

‘Martial arts partner?’

Lin Ruyan’s expression changed immediately.

“Lin Gutian, I addressed you as ‘Brother Gutian’ because I respect you for being the Inner Residence Greatest Disciple, but don’t ask for more.” She spoke coldly.

She then continued, “I won’t go to the Martial Arts Exchange. If you have nothing else to say, please leave, and don’t disturb me during my cultivation.”

“Ruyan, you don’t understand how important it is to have a powerhouse to rely on in the clan. Don’t worry, I’ll let you know one day that I’m your best choice.” Instead of being mad, Lin Gutian smiled confidently and left.

Just as he turned around, he noticed someone approaching.

‘Lin Han?’

Lin Gutian kept a straight face as he walked, and he ignored Lin Han.

“Brother Gutian,” Lin Han greeted.

He did not know that Lin Gutian hated him.

“You better not come to Ruyan’s place so often, or I’ll show you what happens when you try to steal my girl.” Lin Gutian sneered before he walked away.

On the other hand, Lin Han was puzzled.

He shook his head as he found it ridiculous.

‘Which girl of his have I stolen?’

“He’s out of his mind,” Lin Han mumbled, then continued walking toward Lin Ruyan’s residence.

“Lin Han!”

When Lin Ruyan suddenly noticed Lin Han, she was surprised.

‘Lin Han actually came to find me?’

She put on a sweet smile, then made fun of Lin Han. “This is rare, you spend most of your time cultivating, why do you have time to come here?”

Lin Han grinned. “Is Uncle Ghost here? I need to ask for a favor.”

They entered the residence together.

At that moment, they did not know that Lin Gutian was standing on a wall, looking at them from a distance away.

He watched coldly when Lin Ruyan smiled at Lin Han gorgeously.

“Lin Han, how dare you disobey me. You’re courting death…” Lin Gutian’s eyes were full of killing intent.

…

In the courtyard of Lin Ruyan’s residence.

“What? Uncle Ghost left? He’ll only return after one to two months?” Lin Han was disappointed.

“What exactly is it? Tell me, I might be able to help,” Lin Ruyan asked.

When she heard that Lin Han was actually looking for Uncle Ghost, she was slightly disheartened.

“I need a powerful opponent to stimulate my potential, so that I can break through,” Lin Han explained with a bitter smile.

“A powerful opponent?”

Lin Ruyan nodded as she pondered.

‘Indeed.

‘If one is at a bottleneck, a strong external pressure can possibly incite one’s potential for one to breakthrough.

‘But Uncle Ghost disappeared mysteriously, and he only mentioned that he’ll return after a month or two.’

She was troubled.

“Oh right.”
