391: Pure disregard

Xue Hongxiu smiled slightly, revealing a gentle and charming demeanor, and spoke softly: "No need to be polite. You and I are like sisters; how could I not know what you are thinking?"

At this moment, Liu Yao was immensely grateful to Xue Hongxiu.

Just now, the people around them had been egging her on, asking for her Senior Brother to come over and join them.

In fact, Liu Yao didn't think this matter was a big deal; after all, even their own Holy Master was quite fond of those storybooks.

What was wrong with Lin Ye, as a Divine Son, wanting to read them?

It was just that Liu Yao worried that having Lin Ye come over at this time would make him feel awkward, and thereby cause some misunderstanding towards Liu Yao.

With Xue Hongxiu having spoken, the others also nodded.

A young man, in order to leave a good impression in front of Liu Yao, hurriedly spoke: "Let's leave first. We haven't been to the Desolate Tower yet. Who knows what might..."

"Wait a moment!"

Before the man could finish speaking, that handsome young man spoke again: "Senior Sister, I saw that your Senior Brother came from the direction of the Desolate Tower earlier. Why don't we chat with him? Perhaps we might gain something."

"After all, Senior Sister, everyone knows your talent and strength. To be able to become your Senior Brother, he must be an unparalleled Prodigy."

"If we could discuss the Dao with such a Prodigy and ask him about the news concerning the Desolate Tower, it would simply be our honor!"

Originally, the others had frowned upon hearing the young man continue to ask for Lin Ye to come over, but after hearing these words, they nodded involuntarily.

The young man was right.

If Lin Ye knew the inside story of the Desolate Tower, it would be even better.

After all, they had just arrived here, and they were completely in the dark about the Desolate Tower; they knew nothing.

What could be more important than an Opportunity?

Compared to that, things like character completely had no meaning.

Hearing the young man's words, a touch of dissatisfaction appeared on Liu Yao's pretty face, but there was nothing wrong with what the other party said. For a moment, she didn't know how to refuse.

"Alright..."

When facing that young man, Xue Hongxiu's beautiful eyes carried a touch of coldness: "Wang Yuchen, what exactly do you want to do? If you want to get to know that person, just go yourself. Why must you make Senior Sister invite him?"

Wang Yuchen shrugged his shoulders and smiled: "I just heard Senior Apprentice Sister Liu Yao say that the person is her and Brother Gu's Senior Brother, and I was just a bit surprised for a moment. If Senior Apprentice Sister Liu Yao doesn't like it, I naturally won't say any more."

"You..."

"Liu Yao?"

Just as Xue Hongxiu was planning to say something more, a voice suddenly reached their ears.

They were just talking about Lin Ye, and the person in question had come over himself.

What was most baffling was that he was holding a storybook in his hand. Just looking at the "steamy" cover of that storybook, one knew what was described inside.

"Lin... Senior Brother..."

Seeing Lin Ye walk over, Liu Yao's pretty face turned a little red, not knowing if it was because of the storybook in Lin Ye's hand, or because she remembered the scene of being held in Lin Ye's arms earlier.

"Brother Lin?"

Wang Yuchen stepped forward, intentionally or unintentionally blocking Liu Yao, and smiled at Lin Ye: "Brother Lin, I am the Saint of the Heavenly Wolf Holy Domain, Wang Yuchen. I just heard Senior Sister mention you earlier and was just about to get to know you, but I didn't expect you to come yourself."

"..."

Lin Ye did not answer Wang Yuchen, but instead looked at him with an indifferent expression, as if he were looking at a rock.

It had been said before that Lin Ye's perception of human nature was very clear.

This Wang Yuchen walked over with a smile on his face, but that hypocritical smile could not hide the malice in his heart.

"Brother Lin?"

Seeing that the other party ignored him, and that the gaze was somewhat insulting, Wang Yuchen narrowed his eyes slightly; his eyes seemed to contain a dangerous aura.

Lin Ye was a bit puzzled.

He and Wang Yuchen were meeting for the first time; where did the other party get such great malice?

Could it be because of Liu Yao?

That didn't seem right either. Plotlines of acting cool and face-slapping were usually the exclusive domain of the Son of Destiny, and he was just a villain... Bah! Villain my ass! I am the fucking Son of Destiny!

Thinking of this, Lin Ye walked straight forward, completely ignoring Wang Yuchen, and walked up to Liu Yao.

"Senior Sister, how did you also come here?"

"Senior Brother..."

Liu Yao's beautiful eyes carried a bit of resentment: "Originally, the person in our Sect who was supposed to come and investigate this Desolate Tower was me, but the Holy Master gave the map to you."

"..."

Hearing this, Lin Ye was also a bit embarrassed.

He had been wondering; when he went to find Duanmu Yu to apply to leave the Sect earlier, the other party had already prepared the map directly.

He originally thought it was the fate of the Son of Destiny, where Opportunities appeared wherever he went, taking effect, but it turned out he had snatched Liu Yao's Opportunity.

Seeing Lin Ye's embarrassed expression, the resentment in Liu Yao's beautiful eyes disappeared, and a smile appeared on her pretty face once again.

"It doesn't matter, I'm here now anyway! Senior Brother, you don't need to blame yourself."

Compared to their laughter and joy, the veins on Wang Yuchen's forehead, who was standing to the side, bulged. He never expected that despite him treating them with such courtesy, that bastard named Lin Ye would actually ignore him directly.

Feeling the snickering of the few people beside him, Wang Yuchen felt a burst of anger.

As the Saint of the Heavenly Wolf Holy Land, he had never suffered such humiliation!

This Lin Ye was simply courting death!

A mere nobody who couldn't even become a Saint, how dare he treat him like this?

But now, in full view of everyone, and with the person he admired also on the side, even if Wang Yuchen couldn't help it anymore, he could only maintain a smile.

"By the way, Brother Lin, I wonder if there are any Opportunities in this Desolate Tower? I saw you walking from over there earlier."

"..."

Still ignoring him!

Purely ignored!

Lin Ye not only didn't answer Wang Yuchen's question, he didn't even have any intention of looking at him.

Liu Yao seemed worried that the situation would become too stiff, and added that Lin Ye had just become a Divine Son, so if something happened, it would be difficult to explain, so she hurriedly spoke: "That's right, Senior Brother, are there any Opportunities in this Desolate Tower?"

Facing Liu Yao's question, Lin Ye shook his head, and then told the story of what happened in Archaic City from the beginning. Of course, he told the abridged version.

Hearing that something in the Desolate Tower was going to devour the Cultivators' Spiritual Power, everyone's faces showed signs of exclamation.

It turned out that their late arrival was actually the right thing!

Otherwise, wouldn't their Spiritual Power have been devoured too?

After all, no one was unmoved by the Legacy of the Great Emperor. Besides, it was just devouring Spiritual Power, not cultivation base or flesh and blood.

Wang Yuchen, who was standing on the side, already harbored hatred. Hearing Lin Ye say this, he couldn't help but speak with a mocking tone: "Devouring the Cultivators' Spiritual Power? Heh... I'm afraid those who entered were just a bunch of idiots who couldn't comprehend the Great Emperor's Legacy."

"Wang Yuchen! What are you saying?!"

Liu Yao shouted angrily.
