808: Chapter 806 The Disguised Identity

Silence.

Lin Yang fell into a long silence.

He glanced at Lei Su, then at Yu Qing, utterly perplexed.

Had the customs of the Ancient Forbidden Domain become this liberal?

He was speechless.

Helping someone break off an engagement was already complicated enough for his state of mind.

The situation before him now was even more indescribable.

He had absolutely no idea what to say.

Watching Lei Su's fervent gaze towards Yu Qing, Lin Yang inwardly grumbled. He didn't understand, nor did he want to.

All he wanted now was to fulfill the agreement and leave this place as soon as possible!

After a pause, he prepared to speak, intending to first try and persuade Lei Su, to make him understand this behavior was unacceptable. Having such preferences oneself was one thing, but forcing them on others was not!

However, before he could speak, upon hearing Yu Qing's words, a dark glint instantly flashed in Lei Su's eyes. Pointing at Lin Yang, he said to Yu Qing:

"Who is this guy? Why are you saying such things to him?"

His tone was unfriendly, and his gaze was equally hostile as he stared at Lin Yang.

Yu Qing's words had displeased him greatly.

Yu Qing had always had very few friends.

But now, it seemed Yu Qing and Lin Yang were very familiar, and she had even mentioned him.

This made Lei Su somewhat uncomfortable.

Yu Qing was his chosen Dao Companion; she should not be too close to others, especially other men!

Yu Qing merely smiled faintly: "Lei Su, you're overstepping. While I have no obligation to tell you, I can remind you: Brother Lin and I are friends, very close and good friends. Also, you'd best be polite to Brother Lin. He's someone you cannot afford to provoke."

"Finally, please step aside. I've returned this time to formally notify both our clans: we are terminating the engagement. I will absolutely not become your Dao Companion!"

Lei Su's gaze grew colder with each of Yu Qing's words. Hearing the end, he immediately sneered:

"Yu Qing, are you talking nonsense? You say I can't afford to provoke him? Hah, that's truly laughable."

After speaking to Yu Qing, Lei Su turned his cold stare directly onto Lin Yang:

"I don't care who you are, but you'd better disappear from my sight immediately, otherwise..."

However, before he could finish, Lin Yang interrupted him.

He really couldn't be bothered to play any 'Playing the Pig to Eat the Tiger' games with this kind of Pampered Young Master. He said directly:

"Lei Su, right? Your persistence with Yu Qing is rather inappropriate. I hope you will stop harassing him. You can find another Dao Companion."

"What kind of thing are you to..." Upon hearing this, Lei Su immediately began to curse.

But before the last word 'me' could leave his mouth,

a vast, majestic pressure descended upon him, instantly silencing him and rendering him immobile. His face also turned deathly pale.

His gaze towards Lin Yang shifted from the previous contempt to shock and fear. An instinctive, incredulous exclamation escaped him:

"You... you are actually of the Heng Realm..."

The pressure emanating from Lin Yang was not unfamiliar to him in the slightest.

It was the pressure belonging to the Heng Realm; he absolutely could not be mistaken.

Lei Su was stunned.

Lin Yang, who looked so young, was actually a Heng Realm existence!

He also looked incredulously at Yu Qing beside him, momentarily unable to comprehend how Yu Qing could know a Heng Realm existence, and why this Heng Realm existence would come to help him break off an engagement.

Could it be that Lin Yang also had his eye on Yu Qing?

This thought instantly flashed through Lei Su's mind.

Aside from this possibility, he truly couldn't find another reason why a Heng Realm existence would help Yu Qing break off the engagement.

Lei Su suddenly felt a pang of bitterness.

Although he had Heng Realm elders, even Wei Realm ancestors, backing him,

compared to a living Heng Realm existence, his clan likely wouldn't support him unconditionally and easily offend a Heng Realm powerhouse.

For a moment, Lei Su also fell silent.

He really wanted to say that his Lei Clan also had Heng Realm experts, to tell Lin Yang not to be too arrogant.

But saying such words in front of a Heng Realm existence was tantamount to seeking death.

So, he restrained himself.

Although he was usually arrogant and overbearing, he wasn't a fool, and not foolish enough to be arrogant in front of a Heng Realm being.

Seeing this, Yu Qing said: "Lei Su, let's end things here. Brother Lin is my friend. I asked him for help to speak to my clan about terminating the engagement. You..."

Before Yu Qing could finish speaking, another figure suddenly soared into the air, arriving.

It was an elderly man.

The old man's gaze was as sharp as an eagle's. Upon appearing, it fell on Lin Yang, ignoring both Lei Su and Yu Qing. He addressed Lin Yang directly:

"So it's a Heng Realm elder from the Human Ancestor Hall of the human race. I am Yu Shan. Greetings, fellow Daoist."

Lin Yang gave a slight nod: "Greetings, Fellow Daoist Yu Shan."

Yu Shan smiled and said: "If my guess is correct, fellow Daoist must be the only newly-advanced Heng Realm elder of the human race in this era, Elder Lin Yang, correct? Elder Lin has come from afar to visit our Yu Family as a guest. We failed to welcome you properly; please forgive our oversight."

Lin Yang nodded again: "Indeed, it is I. Fellow Daoist Yu Shan has keen eyes."

"Haha, there's only one newly-advanced Heng Realm in this era; naturally, we are aware. We just didn't expect Fellow Daoist Lin to come to our Ancient Forbidden Domain. Why didn't you notify us in advance so we could have welcomed you properly?" Yu Shan laughed heartily, acting very courteously.

Lin Yang also smiled: "You are too courteous, Fellow Daoist Yu Shan. I came in a hurry, entrusted by someone. It is I who visited abruptly; please do not blame me, Fellow Daoist Yu Shan."

A glint flashed in Yu Shan's eyes as he smiled: "Fellow Daoist Lin, since you have come to our Yu Family territory, why not come to the clan for a chat? Let us fulfill our duties as hosts."

"Then I shall impose. Thank you for the trouble, Fellow Daoist Yu Shan." Lin Yang did not decline.

His purpose in coming was the Yu Family; naturally, he wouldn't refuse.

"Fellow Daoist Lin, please!" Yu Shan cupped his hands and made a gesture of invitation.

Following Yu Shan's guidance, Lin Yang descended into the Yu Family compound and proceeded directly into the main hall to take a seat.

Yu Shan ordered someone to serve fine tea and began chatting idly with Lin Yang about this and that.

From beginning to end, he did not speak to Lei Su, nor did he speak to Yu Qing.

Now, Yu Qing simply followed beside Lin Yang, as if having become transparent.

Lin Yang also seemed to have forgotten about Yu Qing, engaging in casual small talk with Yu Shan.

It seemed the two had formed a certain kind of tacit understanding.

Finally, after several rounds of tea, Yu Shan shifted the topic: "Fellow Daoist Lin, first, let me apologize on behalf of this child Yu Qing for troubling you to make this trip. This child doesn't know the proper measure, daring to trouble Fellow Daoist Lin to come all this way."

As he spoke, he looked at Yu Qing: "Aren't you going to apologize to Fellow Daoist Lin?"

He didn't ask Yu Qing how she managed to enlist Lin Yang's help.

That wasn't important.

What was important was that Yu Qing had already brought him here. Now, it depended on Lin Yang's stance.

Hearing this, before Yu Qing could react, Lin Yang waved his hand and said:

"Fellow Daoist Yu Shan, Yu Qing and I are old friends. It's no trouble at all. When a friend is in difficulty, naturally, I should help."

He looked at Yu Shan with a smile. Though his tone was light, it conveyed a firm resolve to see the matter through.

He naturally could also see that Yu Shan's previous actions were all attempts to probe his attitude.

Therefore, the attitude he presented was also very clear.

Hearing this, Yu Shan fell into thought. Glancing at Yu Qing, he suddenly changed to a smiling face:

"Little girl Yu Qing, you truly have good fortune! To become close friends with someone like Fellow Daoist Lin, even this old man is envious!"

Yu Qing was taken aback, unsure how to respond.

Lin Yang, however, frowned.

What had Yu Shan just called Yu Qing?

Little girl?

He couldn't help but turn his head to look at Yu Qing.

Sensing his gaze and seemingly understanding, Yu Qing immediately said somewhat sheepishly:

"I'm sorry, I concealed some things. I am actually not a man."

As she spoke, she took out a bronze token from her bosom, enveloping it with Dao Power.

Then, a certain peculiar power seemed to vanish from her body.

Immediately after, Lin Yang saw through Yu Qing's true identity at a glance.

She... was actually a woman!

Lin Yang was also a bit stunned. He hadn't seen through Yu Qing's true identity all this time!

Looking at the bronze token enveloped by Yu Qing's Dao Power, he seemed to understand something and couldn't help but say:

"Yu Qing, did you use this object to disguise your identity?" (End of Chapter)
