54: Chapter 54 Lin Aotian Writes Another Letter

Early the next morning, Lin Rou and Liu Yuqin blocked the entrance to Su Yun's residence.

Of course, Su Yun no longer lived on Xiuyun Peak.

Instead, under the pretext of "convenience for guiding his cultivation," Leng Hanshuang had arranged for him to stay in an independent small courtyard within the Inner Hall of Hanpo Peak.

When Su Yun yawned and pushed open the door, he wasn't surprised at all to see the two peerless beauties standing at the entrance.

He had long expected that Phoenix Unrivaled's unusual actions certainly wouldn't escape these two meticulous women.

"Revered Master, Senior Sister Yuqin, why are you here?" Su Yun asked, feigning surprise.

As soon as Lin Rou saw him, her anger flared up.

Stepping forward quickly, she grabbed Su Yun's arm, pulled him into the courtyard, and then slammed the gate shut behind them.

"Xiao Chen! Give me an honest explanation!"

Lin Rou stood with her hands on her hips, her beautiful eyes glaring at him, looking like she was there to demand an accounting.

"What exactly is going on between you and that Empress?"

Liu Yuqin also walked over. Although she wasn't as agitated as Lin Rou, the questioning look in her eyes was very clear.

"What do you mean, what's going on?" Su Yun looked bewildered. "What could possibly be going on between me and Her Majesty the Empress? We only met for the first time yesterday, right?"

"Stop pretending!"

Lin Rou was so angry she wanted to pinch him.

"Don't think we don't know! That woman stayed at Hanpo Peak all day yesterday! And she's here again early this morning! Is she here for you?"

"Yes." Su Yun nodded frankly.

"You!" Lin Rou and Liu Yuqin were startled at the same time.

They hadn't expected Su Yun to admit it so readily.

"What is she looking for you for?" Lin Rou pressed, her heart incredibly nervous.

"What else could it be?"

Su Yun spread his hands and said with a helpless look.

"She said she's taken a liking to me and wants me to go back to the Wu Zhou Empire with her to be her... er, male favorite."

"What?!"

Lin Rou and Liu Yuqin cried out in surprise at the same time, their expressions changing.

"She... how dare she!"

Lin Rou was trembling with rage.

"What does she take our Mysterious Maiden Sect for? What does she take our people for? Someone she can just snatch whenever she wants?"

Liu Yuqin's face also turned very ugly, her eyes filled with hostility.

"Then you... did you agree?" she asked Su Yun nervously.

"How could I possibly agree?"

Su Yun gave a bitter smile.

"I told her that I already have you all and can't fit anyone else in my heart. But she still hasn't given up, saying I can bring you all along with me; she doesn't mind."

"Pah! She doesn't mind, but we do!" Lin Rou spat, her face full of disgust. "That woman is truly shameless!"

Su Yun secretly laughed as he watched their righteous indignation.

A woman's jealousy is indeed the most useful weapon.

Stepping forward, he gently pulled Lin Rou into his arms and comforted her softly.

"Alright, Revered Master, don't be angry. It's not worth getting angry over that kind of woman."

Then, he looked at Liu Yuqin and said with a tender gaze.

"Senior Sister Yuqin, don't worry, I, Lin Chen, am not the kind of person who is fickle in affection. My heart only has you."

After some sweet words, the two women's anger mostly dissipated.

Leaning against Su Yun's chest, Lin Rou asked somewhat uneasily, "Then she... she just gave up like that?"

"Of course not." Su Yun shook his head. "She said she won't give up and will use her sincerity to move me."

"What sincerity?"

"She said she knows I'm suffering from cold poison, and since she has the Heavenly Phoenix Divine Body, she can help me heal."

Su Yun began his performance.

"So, starting from yesterday, she's been running to my place every day under the guise of healing."

"Healing?" Lin Rou and Liu Yuqin glanced at each other, both seeing a hint of suspicion in the other's eyes.

A man and a woman alone in a room, in the name of healing...

No matter how they heard it, it felt off.

"Don't misunderstand."

Su Yun saw through their thoughts and quickly explained.

"We are just simply healing, just circulating power and regulating breathing, absolutely nothing else happened."

The more he explained, the more suspicious Lin Rou and Liu Yuqin became.

"Really?" Lin Rou squinted her eyes at him.

"Really!" Su Yun raised three fingers and said solemnly, "If I, Lin Chen, am lying to you, let Heaven strike me with lightning!"

Inwardly, he thought, Lin Chen is making the vow, what does that have to do with me, Su Yun?

Seeing him make such a poisonous oath, the suspicion in Lin Rou's heart diminished a bit.

But Liu Yuqin felt something was strange; before she could think more about it, her train of thought was interrupted by Lin Rou's next words.

"I'd like to see you try."

Lin Rou snorted and broke free from his embrace.

"However, remember this: healing is healing, no physical contact is allowed! Do you hear me?"

"I hear you, I hear you." Su Yun nodded repeatedly.

"Also,"

Liu Yuqin also spoke up, her tone serious.

"We agreed before, three days for each person. Now that Revered Master's three days have passed, you can't forget the agreement just because of that Empress."

"Of course I won't forget." Su Yun said with a smile, "I'll move back to Xiuyun Peak today."

Hearing this, smiles finally appeared on the faces of Lin Rou and Liu Yuqin.

...

After sending off Lin Rou and Liu Yuqin, Su Yun stretched, feeling great.

Done.

The fire in the backyard won't be starting for now.

He checked the time; by his calculations, Phoenix Unrivaled should be arriving soon.

Sure enough, not long after, there was a gentle knock on the courtyard gate.

Su Yun went to open the door and saw Phoenix Unrivaled standing there prettily, having changed into casual clothes.

Even without the enhancement of the imperial robes, the innate noble aura she possessed still made people afraid to look directly at her.

Seeing Su Yun, her cheeks flushed slightly, and her eyes dodged his gaze.

"I... I'm here."

"Come in." Su Yun stepped aside to let her in, then closed the courtyard gate.

As the two entered the room, the atmosphere was momentarily awkward.

Su Yun was the first to speak: "How does Your Majesty feel today? Is your cultivation still stable?"

"Yes." Phoenix Unrivaled nodded. "It's completely consolidated, and... I feel it's even more advanced than before."

Speaking of her cultivation, her eyes lit up, and the way she looked at Su Yun became much more fervent.

"Then... today... are we still doing it like yesterday?" she asked tentatively.

"Of course." Su Yun smiled. "However, today we can try a new pattern."

"A new pattern?" Phoenix Unrivaled was stunned.

Before she could react, Su Yun picked her up in his arms and walked toward the bed in the inner chamber.

"You... what are you doing?" Phoenix Unrivaled cried out, reflexively wrapping her arms around his neck.

"Don't be nervous."

Su Yun whispered in her ear.

"Yesterday's position was too inefficient. Changing to a new position today will guarantee Your Majesty's experience reaches a whole new level."

His words were full of suggestion and teasing, making Phoenix Unrivaled's face instantly turn red to the roots of her ears.

She wanted to resist, but her body went soft against her will, leaving her no choice but to let him carry her to the bed.

The subsequent "healing" process was indeed as Su Yun had said, more... intense than yesterday, and even more intoxicating.

Phoenix Unrivaled felt like a small boat in a storm, only able to rise and fall with the waves.

All her pride and all her reserve were shattered under Su Yun's overbearing and powerful assault.

Just as the "healing" between the two reached its most critical moment, a sudden change occurred.

A jade pendant in Phoenix Unrivaled's bosom suddenly lit up without warning and made a "buzzing" sound.

This sudden turn of events made Phoenix Unrivaled's whole body stiffen, and she instantly snapped out of her intoxication.

"It's... it's Lin Aotian's sound transmission jade pendant!" she said in panic.

A playful smile tugged at the corner of Su Yun's mouth.

Coming early isn't as good as coming at the right time.

"Answer it," he whispered. "Let him hear what his high and mighty Empress is doing right now."

"No... no way!" Phoenix Unrivaled was so scared her face turned pale. "He'll find out!"

"What are you afraid of?" Su Yun chuckled. "Haven't you already decided to break with him? This is the perfect chance to make him give up."

"But..."

"Nothing buts." Su Yun's tone became firm. "Answer it!"

Phoenix Unrivaled was so intimidated by his command that she didn't dare to resist. She could only take out the sound transmission jade pendant with a trembling hand and inject a trace of spiritual power.

The light from the jade pendant flared up, and Lin Aotian's familiar voice, tinged with a hint of anxiety, came through.

"Unrivaled? Why did it take you so long to answer? I've been looking for you for ages!"

"I... I was cultivating just now and didn't notice."

Phoenix Unrivaled forced herself to remain calm, but the tremor in her voice couldn't be hidden.

"Cultivating?" Lin Aotian was clearly taken aback. "Why does your voice... sound a bit off? Did something happen?"

"No... nothing's wrong."

Just as Phoenix Unrivaled was racking her brains to come up with an excuse.

"Mmm..."

It was Su Yun!

This bastard, to actually... at a time like this...

"Unrivaled?!"

On the other end, Lin Aotian's voice instantly became alert.

"What was that sound just now? Is there someone else with you?!"
