106: Extravagance and debauchery, licking the dog threat

The young man said with a pained expression, "Junior Sister, I truly do not understand what I have done to make you loathe me so much?"

The young girl replied with a cold face, "It is not loathing; it is simply that I have no feelings for you whatsoever. Your behavior has become harassment to me. Please, do not appear before me again."

Having said this, she pulled on Lin Yuan's large hand and walked past the young man, her figure fading away in the sunset.

The young man turned around, gazing at their retreating figures with intense gloom in his eyes.

...

Outside the Array Pavilion.

In a small forest.

"Junior Sister, who was that guy just now? Why did you react so strongly?"

Lin Yuan had been dragged along at high speed by the young girl for several hundred meters before they stopped. Taking this opportunity, he finally voiced the doubt in his heart.

"His name is He Guangbo. He is the grandson of Grandmaster He, and he currently Cultivates under the First Seat of Yunbing Peak. In terms of status and standing, he is no less than me."

Grandmaster He!

Lin Yuan narrowed his eyes: "In that case, he has a Purple Mansion Realm powerhouse backing him?"

"That is correct. Otherwise, he would not dare to come and harass me like this."

Zhao Cailian sighed.

There had been others in the Sect who had pursued her shamelessly, but she had taught them a direct lesson, and they never dared to court trouble again.

However, with this person, she truly was at a loss.

Her cultivation was inferior to his, and his background was equivalent to hers; she could not even teach him a lesson.

Lin Yuan asked directly, "Then can you not have your elders step in to resolve this matter? Surely you cannot endure being harassed constantly."

At this, Zhao Cailian immediately complained with a bitter face, "Don't even get me started. When I told my father about this, he actually told me to marry the guy. He claimed that we were a perfect match, both being descendants of Grandmasters, and that it would foster a happy union and strengthen the friendship between the Zhao and He families."

Lin Yuan's eyes shifted, and he feigned agreement: "Your father's words do not seem unreasonable. That Young Master He is handsome and has an extraordinary family background; he could be considered quite a match for you. Why is it that you do not like him?"

Zhao Cailian laughed disdainfully: "Handsome? Forget it. This guy looks like a gentleman, but in reality, he is a beast in human clothing. I heard from a Senior Sister that he keeps dozens of women in his Immortal Cave, all of whom are used to serve him. He even proposed a transaction to that Senior Sister, offering one thousand Spirit Stones a month for her to move into his Immortal Cave to attend to his daily life. My Senior Sister refused, which is how I came to know his true colors."

One thousand Spirit Stones!

Lin Yuan's expression changed slightly.

After becoming an Inner Sect Disciple, one could receive a monthly stipend of one hundred Spirit Stones. With various other channels, the monthly income of an ordinary Condensing Core Realm Disciple was around one hundred or so Spirit Stones.

Yet that guy could promise one thousand a month just for someone to attend to his daily life—that was truly extravagant.

Is this how wealthy people play?

Thinking of how he had worked himself to the bone as a handyman only to receive one Spirit Stone a month, Lin Yuan could not help but feel a sense of sorrow.

The Young Masters of the Sect's upper echelons lived in debauchery, while the low-level Disciples toiled away, unable to see a path forward.

This world of the strong preying on the weak was far crueler than his previous life.

"To be so debauched and unrestrained truly corrupts the morals of our Sect. Do the higher-ups not care?"

Lin Yuan said, filled with righteous indignation.

Zhao Cailian sneered: "Those women are all serving him willingly. It is a matter of mutual consent; how can you expect them to manage that? Furthermore, many of the higher-ups do the same thing."

Lin Yuan frowned slightly and nodded: "I understand."

Keeping concubines did not violate the interests of the Sect, nor was it considered an atrocious act. As long as it was done discreetly, the higher-ups would naturally be too lazy to care.

The young girl sighed with a pout: "So, do you know why I hate him so much now?"

Lin Yuan shrugged: "I do. Such a lecherous and dissolute person would not be liked by anyone."

Zhao Cailian nodded: "Normal lechery would be one thing, but that guy actually wanted to make that kind of transaction. It is truly too much. I find even looking at such a lecherous worm to be dirty."

Lin Yuan sighed softly: "Then what do you intend to do?"

"What else can I do? If he dares to come looking for me again, I will just tell him to get lost."

After speaking, the young girl took out her Personal Disciple token and continued: "Let us exchange contact information. When I have time tonight, I will come to your Immortal Cave to find you."

"Find me?"

"Yes, did we not agree that you would teach me about Formations?"

"This... that is no problem, but my Immortal Cave is a bit inconvenient. Could we go to your Immortal Cave instead?"

He still had five beautiful women living in his cave. If he brought Zhao Cailian there, not to mention what she might think, the jealousy of the women alone would be difficult to soothe.

Hearing this, Zhao Cailian realized something and asked vigilantly: "Why is it inconvenient? Don't tell me you also keep many women?"

Lin Yuan shook his head decisively: "I have not been in the Inner Sect for long; how could I have many women? They are just a few family dependents."

Zhao Cailian looked serious: "A few? It seems you are quite the romantic, Senior Brother."

Lin Yuan said nonchalantly: "I may be romantic, but I am not promiscuous. The few women I have are with me for a reason; I would not be like that guy, living only for lust and pleasure."

Zhao Cailian blinked her beautiful eyes: "Alright, then I will trust you for now, Senior Brother. I will tell you the location of my Immortal Cave later; do not forget to come."

"I know."

The two touched their tokens together, and then the young girl leaped into the air and flew away.

"Radiant Cloud Spirit Liquid... I hope it truly has the effects she described."

Lin Yuan murmured to himself and was about to take flight as well, when he heard a voice from the side: "Junior Brother Lin, it seems Junior Sister Zhao is quite fond of you."

A figure in white appeared with the sound, his eyes showing clear contempt as he stared at the other.

Lin Yuan paused in his movement and turned to face him: "Senior Brother He is joking. Junior Sister Zhao and I have only just met; how could there be any talk of fondness?"

The young man said coldly: "Junior Brother is the one joking. I have known Junior Sister for many years and have never seen her take the initiative to speak with a man, let alone hold hands. If you can receive such treatment, how can you say there is no fondness?"

Lin Yuan said calmly: "Perhaps so. Is this the only reason you sought me out, Senior Brother?"

"Of course not."

"Then what other purpose do you have?"

He Guangbo stood with his hands behind his back: "It is very simple. I ask you to stay away from Junior Sister Zhao from now on. Do not come within a yard of her again, otherwise..."

Halfway through his sentence, the young man's gaze suddenly turned sharp. He raised his hand and slashed to the right, a sharp Qi blade cutting through the wind and splitting a thick tree in two.

"It will be just like this tree."

Withdrawing his palm, he finished his sentence.

Lin Yuan chuckled: "Is Senior Brother threatening me?"

"You can think of it that way."

"Then I am truly sorry. I am the type of person who responds to soft persuasion but not coercion. If you had asked me nicely, I might have considered it. But since you are being so forceful, not only will I not stay away from Junior Sister, I will actually get even closer to her, until I can pull her into my embrace and we are completely as one..."

At this, Lin Yuan let out a long breath, displaying an expression of enjoyment: "Junior Sister Zhao is beautiful and sweet-voiced, and her body is so soft. If I could be intimate with her and possess every inch of her skin, it would be no exaggeration to call it the ultimate pleasure on earth, would it?"
