173: Level 10 traitor, someone else's plaything

Chu Ling'er sat obediently, fair and tender, like a tiny little dumpling.

Lin Xuan looked at Chu Ling'er, and the more he looked, the more he liked her, a smile of an old father involuntarily appearing on his face.

He made up his mind to take her home; he would protect Chu Ling'er at all costs and never let Gu Qing harm a single hair on her head.

"Yao'er, as long as Ling'er becomes my disciple, I will ensure her safety, and no one will dare to harm her in the slightest," Lin Xuan said, putting down his teacup, his expression serious and earnest.

"Thank you for your kindness, Senior Martial Uncle, but my sister's talent is mediocre and she is truly not up to the task," Chu Yao directly refused, a cold sneer in her heart.

No one dares to harm her in the slightest?

Before saying that, shouldn't you recall how your five disciples died?

Lin Xuan seemed to have anticipated Chu Yao's refusal; he immediately took out two jade pendants, a slight smile on his lips, and said indifferently,

"These jade pendants contain a wisp of my sub-soul. As long as you don't accept challenges from others, they can keep you safe."

He thought Chu Yao didn't want Chu Ling'er to become his disciple because of the demise of his five disciples.

And the two registered disciples who were taken in in the morning and died in the afternoon.

Now that he had given them the sub-soul jade pendants, unless it was someone in the Divine Fire Realm, no one could harm a single hair on their heads.

Lin Xuan's lips curved into a smile.

He didn't believe that Chu Yao would still refuse after he showed such importance to the sisters.

Once he imparted peerless cultivation techniques to Chu Ling'er and bestowed her with supreme treasures, he believed Chu Yao would surely waver and join his sect.

After all, people strive for higher positions, and water flows to lower grounds.

"Please take them back, Senior Martial Uncle. My sister will absolutely not become your disciple," Chu Yao's tone was resolute.

Since Lin Xuan couldn't understand reason, she wouldn't be blamed for speaking frankly and making him lose face.

Lin Xuan's smile froze on his face as he looked at Chu Yao in astonishment.

No, he gave Chu Yao the Enlightenment Spirit Jade and the Substituted Divine Fruit. Didn't Chu Yao feel any gratitude or excitement?

He lowered his stance to accept a disciple, so why wasn't Chu Yao flattered and grateful?

Looking at the charming and alluring Chu Yao, Lin Xuan somehow felt that today's Chu Yao was strange, completely different from the Chu Yao he had imagined.

Lin Xuan felt a bit of existential doubt, being rejected repeatedly, feeling like he couldn't keep his old face.

If it weren't for the system's mandatory quest, which required him to take a disciple, Lin Xuan wouldn't have lowered himself like this.

After all, Chu Ling'er's aptitude wasn't high, and the disciple-taking reward was very limited, offering him no help at all.

Lin Xuan took a deep breath, his face darkening: "Why?"

"Senior Martial Uncle, I'll be frank. If Ling'er becomes your disciple, how will we explain it to Senior Martial Aunt Zhi Meng?" Chu Yao said expressionlessly.

Upon hearing this, Lin Xuan pondered for a moment, his expression confident and composed, and he couldn't help but chuckle softly.

"Heh, so you're afraid of Zhi Meng," he inwardly breathed a sigh of relief.

He said indifferently, "Don't worry, I will keep Ling'er by my side. Even if Zhi Meng goes insane and tries to harm Ling'er, I can ensure Ling'er's safety."

He had already decided that after bringing such a cute, top-tier loli home, he would keep her with him every day.

"Senior Martial Uncle, what about my Chu family? How will my Chu family's millions of clansmen manage?" Chu Yao asked coldly.

"..."

What does your Chu family's life or death have to do with me?

Lin Xuan almost blurted it out.

In his eyes, he wasn't the Chu family's nanny. For him to take Chu Ling'er in, the Chu family's ancestral graves were already smoking with good fortune.

Moreover, Lin Xuan subconsciously believed that Chu Yao, who worshipped him so much, should have become his disciple without hesitation.

But Chu Yao bringing up the Chu family completely stunned Lin Xuan.

He was momentarily speechless.

Because he couldn't possibly say that Zhi Meng wouldn't attack the Chu family, could he?

Or that he would protect the Chu family.

Would Chu Yao, with her shrewdness, believe that?

"Senior Martial Uncle, you wouldn't want my family to be ruined and then have me wander the world with you, would you?"

Seeing his silence, Chu Yao couldn't help but mock him.

Hearing this, Lin Xuan's expression cracked inch by inch, as if his fig leaf had been torn away, and anger spread from the bottom of his heart.

Lin Xuan took a deep breath and said with a bitter smile, "Yao'er, am I that kind of person?"

"Senior Martial Uncle is naturally not, but Senior Martial Uncle did just that," Chu Yao gave him a little face, but not much.

Lin Xuan's face looked as ugly as if he had eaten two dead rats.

Chu Yao's words clearly implied that he was either an idiot or intentionally trying to bring ruin upon the Chu family.

Lin Xuan's mind exploded.

He looked at Chu Yao, his eyes filled with disbelief.

He couldn't believe that someone with a body temperature of thirty-seven degrees could say such cold words.

She was rubbing, rubbing, and rubbing his face into the ground.

Was this still the Chu Yao, his Martial Niece, who admired and was grateful to him?

Lin Xuan remained silent, looking at the charming and alluring Chu Yao, doubting life itself.

He always felt that things shouldn't be this way.

But where exactly the problem lay, Lin Xuan didn't know either.

"Ling'er."

Gu Qing's voice broke the dead silence.

Chu Ling'er's big, sparkling eyes lit up upon hearing him, as if filled with stars.

Her short legs pedaled quickly, and she flew into Gu Qing's arms.

"Gu Qing Gege!"

"Mm!"

Gu Qing hummed in response, one hand supporting her little bottom, inhaling the familiar natural fragrance, and a faint milky scent, feeling somewhat intoxicated.

He couldn't help but pinch her fair and tender cheek, then looked at Chu Yao with an appreciative gaze.

He had arrived earlier, and Chu Yao's words, as she angrily confronted Lin Xuan, had truly opened his eyes.

Chu Yao was simply a clear-headed person.

A level-ten traitor in the protagonist's camp.

He would definitely reward her with some Xuan Huang Mother Qi later.

Thinking this, Gu Qing then looked at Lin Xuan.

Even with a loli in one arm, he was still fearless of a Divine Fire Realm expert.

"You..."

"You all..."

Lin Xuan's eyes bulged at the sight, and he trembled with rage.

His brain felt as if it had been struck by five bolts of lightning.

Seeing Chu Ling'er clinging to Gu Qing, Lin Xuan felt like he was going crazy.

"Elder Lin Xuan, you want to take my woman as a disciple?" Gu Qing's smile was mocking, as if he were scrutinizing an idiot.

"Pfft!"

Woman?

Chu Ling'er was Gu Qing's woman?

The top-tier loli he had longed for day and night had actually already become Gu Qing's property?!

Lin Xuan's blood surged, and he vomited blood from anger, unable to accept it in the slightest.

His heart felt as if it were being pricked by countless needles, a dull, tingling pain.

At this moment, Lin Xuan felt like a complete idiot and a huge cuckold.

"You lied to me?" Lin Xuan looked at Chu Yao, his voice breaking.

"Senior Martial Uncle, you never asked, and I never said Ling'er was unmarried. How can there be any talk of deception?"

Chu Yao's expression was calm; she quietly walked behind Gu Qing, her smile alluring and charming, her fiery red lips vibrant, and slowly began to speak.

"To tell you the truth, Senior Martial Uncle, Ling'er was brought back by Young Master Gu, and my father already gave Ling'er to Young Master Gu."

"..."

"Given away?"

Lin Xuan's heart ached even more upon hearing this.

The loli he had cherished, treasured, and sworn to protect, was actually a plaything given to Gu Qing by someone else.

Lin Xuan wished he could turn back time, return to the past, slap Chu Ling'er's father to death, and then take Chu Ling'er away.

"Elder Lin Xuan, now that you know, do you still want to take Ling'er as a disciple? If not, then hurry up and leave."

Gu Qing's voice was sarcastic. After he finished speaking, Chu Ling'er's delicate body in his arms stiffened slightly.

Gu Qing patted her somewhere, signaling her not to overthink.

"Leave?"

Lin Xuan's eyes were bloodshot.

Chu Yao and Gu Qing had tricked him so badly, and Gu Qing thought he could just dismiss him with a single sentence?
