Chapter 54: Is the Son of Destiny Broken?

Especially since His Highness also had a new disciple who had been overlooked by all of them.

Even if she took him in as a disciple, she would still have to make him understand his place. Lin Yu was their most beloved disciple.

“Alright, Master!”

Lin Yu's face immediately broke into a faint smile upon hearing this.

At the same time, he gently flicked Su Li's delicate nose before walking towards Lin Shiyin's seat on the main platform.

The Peak Master's seats were all very spacious, more than enough for two people.

Moreover, he was well aware of her intentions.

So, as he passed Luo Xingchen, he deliberately used half his strength to bump his shoulder against Luo Xingchen's, a very arrogant move.

Then, he sat down beside Lin Shiyin.

And one hand subtly rested on Lin Shiyin's lower back.

A 90 affinity level allowed for such brazenness, and with his understanding of Grand Master Lin Shiyin, she would definitely not expose him.

The fragrance was intoxicating and very pleasant.

The faint scent of her hair mixed with her subtle body fragrance made him feel refreshed and at ease.

Coupled with the warm sensation from his hand, it was an indescribably comfortable feeling.

Su Li and the others also returned to their seats.

But their gazes, whether intentionally or not, were all directed at him.

As for Luo Xingchen, it seemed they had all forgotten about him.

And Lin Shiyin, just as Lin Yu had expected, merely showed a hint of shyness in her eyes and made no further movement, allowing Lin Yu's improper actions.

At this moment, Luo Xingchen, who was below the platform, also opened his eyes.

However, cold sweat was beading on his forehead.

He truly couldn't maintain his aloof facade any longer.

Not to mention everyone in the hall ignoring him, just Lin Yu's elbow strike earlier had almost made him spit blood on the spot.

It was truly painful; his entire arm felt numb.

If he hadn't been able to see his arm still attached to his shoulder, he would have thought it had been severed.

He had never expected that the seemingly not much older youth possessed such strength.

He prided himself on his talent in the Tianmu Immortal Mansion region, believing it surpassed everyone else's by a mile.

Not most, but everyone!

Especially among the younger generation, no one could be stronger than him.

With the Saint-grade Overlord Heavenly Body, coupled with the Saint-grade cultivation technique 'Overlord Heaven Art,' and the space-time boundary marker—three super buffs—who could possibly be stronger than him?

The most crucial point was that he had put in the most arduous effort in his cultivation.

He used every tiny bit of free time he had throughout the day for cultivation.

However.

That frivolous, slovenly young master, who clearly wasn't a good person, was actually stronger than him.

Although it was just an elbow strike, he could still perceive that much.

He wouldn't deceive himself.

If he was inferior to others, then he was simply inferior.

However, he wasn't panicking at all.

The other party was at most one or two years older than him. In that amount of time, he was confident he could cultivate to the Yuanshen Realm or even higher.

He firmly believed that among his peers, he was invincible.

While he thought this, the current issue wasn't about who was stronger or weaker, but about his reputation.

If he didn't react to being secretly injured for no reason, would he still be himself?

If he could tolerate it, he wouldn't have been chased by those people.

“Lin Yu, right? We have no grievances, and this is our first meeting, so why did you secretly attack me? Such behavior is not what a gentleman would do!”

Acting on his thoughts, he didn't hesitate, looking at Lin Yu with a calm expression and speaking.

Hmm~~

Luo Xingchen's statement immediately shifted the gazes of Lin Shiyin and the others.

Their attention had been on Lin Yu just now, and they had almost forgotten about this fellow whose matter hadn't been dealt with yet.

However, Su Li didn't care about her current identity at all.

She slapped the armrest of her chair, stood up immediately, and said coldly:

“Hmph, what are you? Who is Little Yu? How can you judge him? Not to mention Little Yu only touched you, even if he killed you, it would be your honor!”

Only she could speak about Little Yu; no one else could.

Just now, she had merely felt indifferent towards this guy, but now she grew increasingly angry the more she looked at him.

As for taking him as a disciple, she had no intention of it at all. Whoever wanted to take him could; she certainly wouldn't.

She had Lin Yu, and that was enough. It was so much better to be together all the time.

“I… he…”

“What 'you what you'? If you're not happy, then get out! My Jade Spirit Peak doesn't welcome you at all!”

Luo Xingchen was about to explain something, but Su Li gave him no chance, directly retorting.

Speaking ill of Little Yu was simply unacceptable. Regardless of right or wrong, her Little Yu was always right.

Hooosh~~~ Hooosh~~~

Luo Xingchen was as if struck by a heavy hammer, rendered speechless, his face filled with indignation and unwillingness.

His nostrils flared like bellows, huffing and puffing heavily.

It was the first time in his life he experienced such an unstable state of mind.

One must know that even when facing powerful enemies in pursuit, his mind remained as still as water, and he handled it calmly.

But at this very moment, he was struck by Su Li's words like sharp arrows, trembling with rage.

He had never seen such an unreasonable person. How could this be something a Peak Master should say?

He was, after all, a candidate disciple for these people. Even if there was favoritism, it shouldn't be displayed so excessively, should it?

Lin Yu, upon hearing Su Li's words, almost burst out laughing.

This was simply the typical dialogue of a brainless protective villain!

If the plot were to unfold normally, wouldn't this Son of Destiny secretly bide his time, then shine brilliantly in trials, then repeatedly slap the face of him, the villain, making everyone present regret it deeply?

Isn't this the typical trope of a face-slapping, regret-inducing Son of Destiny protagonist?

Unfortunately, this plot was destined not to appear.

Even Piao Miao Sect's Sect Master Su Yue had already become his person, so how could she give Luo Xingchen such an opportunity?

Lin Yu's lips curved into a meaningful smile.

Such a scene required no action from him.

He clearly remembered that Su Yue intended for Yue Lingxi to expel him from the sect.

He wanted to see how this fake Son of Destiny would handle this tricky situation.

“Seventh Sister, don't get agitated, sit down first!”

Sure enough, the next moment, Yue Lingxi slowly stood up.

“Sixth Sister, alright, but I will not take him as a disciple!”

Luo Xingchen was brought back by Sixth Sister, so Su Li couldn't say much more and could only obediently sit down.

However, she still expressed her final opinion.

Lin Shiyin and the others also looked at Yue Lingxi, who had stood up.

Their thoughts were all the same: they were unwilling to take this Luo Xingchen as a disciple.

Especially after seeing Luo Xingchen's disapproval of Lin Yu, this was even more so.

They had just mended their relationship with their beloved disciple; how could they make their disciple unhappy because of a stranger?

“Peak Master Yue, I was taken in by you. You know my character best. I hope you can speak fairly!”

Seeing the person who stood up, Luo Xingchen's expression immediately brightened considerably.

His successful interception on the way was thanks to Yue Lingxi's accommodation, and he highly respected her fairness.

Since Peak Master Yue had stepped forward, she would definitely help him get justice.
