165: Lin Rou visited late at night

In the distance.

Lin Dong clenched his fists tightly, the scene of being soundly beaten by Cao Bu flashing through his mind.

He never expected that the trash who would get injured just from slapping him in the past had now become so formidable that even he felt inferior.

Lin Rou was also observing Cao Bu.

She had endured so much hardship in the ancestral Secret Realm to reach her current Realm, yet in front of Cao Bu, it seemed so insignificant.

Chu Hao was also observing Cao Bu.

Besides disbelief, he was left with only deep shock.

Compared to Cao Bu, he felt that his two years of Cultivation had all gone to waste.

Cao Bu noticed their gazes but didn't take them to heart.

He turned and greeted them, "Brother, Bing Yao, you go inside and rest first. Big Brother still needs to welcome other factions here, so I won't accompany you."

"Alright, Big Brother, then we will go first."

Lu Chen had never felt so cheerful; it was as if he had forgotten past grudges, and he beamed at Cao Bu.

Qin Bingyao felt a bit unaccustomed to hearing Cao Bu address her so intimately.

A fleeting flush flashed across her cheeks, and she then followed Lu Chen away.

In front of outsiders, she still had to give Lu Chen some Face.

As the crowd departed, Cao Bu continued to welcome other factions outside the mountain gate with Gu Yingying and the others.

Unknowingly, night had quietly fallen.

Cao Bu turned and said to the young women behind him, "Everyone go back and rest. The other factions likely won't arrive until the Heavenly Pride Battle officially begins tomorrow."

Today, they had already received a full hundred thousand people.

This was only a small portion; the real main force usually wouldn't arrive until two hours before the Heavenly Pride Battle started tomorrow.

"Alright, Big Brother." Everyone responded and turned to leave.

Cao Bu also headed towards his Cangfeng Residence.

Shortly after he left, a figure walked outside the Gu Clan mountain gate; it was none other than Gu Yun.

"Finally arrived, thankfully I'm not late." He glanced at the Gu Clan mountain gate and walked towards a corner, "I wonder if the Formation has changed?"

If the Gu Clan's Formation hadn't been altered, he would be able to sneak in silently.

If it had changed, he would have to wait until tomorrow to disguise himself and mix in with other factions to enter.

"Hiss, damn it, why does it still hurt?"

Gu Yun rubbed his buttocks, the memory of what happened a few days ago surfacing in his mind.

He didn't know who had ambushed him, but after waking up, his storage ring had vanished.

Although there were no supreme treasures inside, for an ordinary Realm Sovereign, it was still a considerable windfall.

Stealing the storage ring was one thing, but they had even stripped him completely naked; when he woke up, he was left with only a pair of underpants.

Besides that, his throat was in excruciating pain, and his rear was also aching faintly.

It wasn't a sharp, intense pain, but a lingering, dull ache that flared up from time to time.

"Don't let me find out who did this, or I will definitely have you cut into a thousand pieces!"

As his voice fell, Gu Yun had already arrived in front of a Formation.

Usually, the Gu Clan's Formation wasn't fully activated, but it still had a simple isolation effect to prevent outsiders from intruding at will.

Gu Yun raised his hand to form a hand seal and slowly approached the invisible Formation ahead.

Before long, Gu Yun saw a bluestone on the side and secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "I didn't trigger the Formation; it seems I've successfully come in."

With that said, he didn't hesitate anymore, his figure quickly vanishing into the darkness.

Meanwhile, not long after Cao Bu returned to the Cangfeng Residence, a knock came at the gate.

"Xiao Yu, go see who it is," Cao Bu instructed.

"Alright, Master."

Yan Ruyu stood up, picked up a thin gauze to drape over herself, and walked towards the gate.

Opening the gate, a woman with an incredibly hot figure came into view.

Yan Ruyu was slightly stunned, and after seeing who it was, she asked in surprise, "Young Miss Lin Rou, are you here to see the Clan Chief?"

Lin Rou didn't answer immediately; her gaze fell on Yan Ruyu's attire, and her cheeks instantly flushed bright red.

This Yan Ruyu was dressed far too seductively.

No wonder she hadn't seen any guards or Maidservants; it seemed these two were extremely indulgent every night.

Sensing Lin Rou's gaze, Yan Ruyu didn't care at all.

They were both women; looking wouldn't make her lose a piece of flesh.

Although Lin Rou had never interacted with Yan Ruyu, she had already inquired about the other's identity before coming, so she asked hesitantly, "Do, do you usually dress like this?"

Yan Ruyu shook her head, "Of course not."

Hearing this, Lin Rou breathed a sigh of relief, but then heard Yan Ruyu continue, "Usually, when I'm alone with Master, I don't wear anything."

Lin Rou's Face turned even redder.

How could this woman be so shameless? This wasn't something she should be hearing.

But she still subconsciously asked, "With you not wearing clothes like this, can Cao Bu sleep well?"

Yan Ruyu shook her head and said, "Of course not."

"Master he..." The words reached her lips, but she suddenly paused and changed the subject, "You still haven't said, are you here to find my Master?"

Lin Rou averted her gaze, forcibly suppressing the heat in her heart, and nodded, "Yes, please trouble yourself to report it; just say I have something I want to ask him."

Yan Ruyu glanced at Lin Rou, a trace of admiration flashing in her eyes.

Master would surely like this woman's figure.

She stepped aside to make way, "Come in."

Lin Rou stepped into the courtyard, her chest swaying slightly.

Closing the gate, Yan Ruyu led Lin Rou towards the living room.

Before long.

The two arrived in the living room.

"Wait here for a moment; I'll go call Master over."

Having said that, Yan Ruyu turned and left.

Lin Rou found a seat and waited patiently.

On Yan Ruyu's side, as soon as she approached the sleeping quarters, she heard a series of ambiguous gasps.

She wasn't the least bit surprised; she raised her hand to push the door open and enter, shutting it behind her, and saw Cao Bu lingering intimately with Ye Linglong.

She quickly reported, "Master, Lin Rou is here; she has something to ask you."

Cao Bu said without turning his head, "No matter, finish the proper business first, then go see her."

Yan Ruyu nodded, the thin gauze on her body sliding off, and she walked forward.

Before long.

Lin Rou, who was waiting in the living room, heard movement coming from outside the door.

As time passed, the sounds became clearer and more ambiguous.

In an instant, she understood what was happening.

"Damn Cao Bu, I'm waiting for him here, and he is actually..."

Lin Rou said, rising to leave, but as she reached the door, she remembered her purpose and ultimately waited patiently.

Time ticked by second by second.

An hour later, Lin Rou was so angry that her Face turned red, "Are you done yet? It's already been an hour!"

She walked to the door, following the direction the sound was coming from.

Shortly after, she confirmed the sound was indeed coming from the bedroom.

Lin Rou carefully peeked through the door crack, and the sight that met her eyes made her pupils constrict.

The next moment, she fled in a panic, unable to help but curse, "beast, this Cao Bu really knows how to play!"

Just as she was about to run out of the courtyard, a "creak" of a door sounded behind her, and simultaneously, Cao Bu's voice rang out, "Young Miss Lin Rou, are you leaving already?"

Lin Rou stopped, turned around, and seeing Cao Bu dressed neatly, she breathed a sigh of relief, "Vice Clan Leader Cao, if you are busy, I can come back tomorrow."

Cao Bu raised a hand to point at the living room and smiled, "It's fine now, Young Miss Lin Rou, let's go to the living room to talk about whatever is on your mind."

Lin Rou pondered for a moment, then stepped towards the living room.

Before long, the two sat opposite each other.

Cao Bu asked proactively, "I wonder what important matter brings Young Miss Lin Rou here for a late-night visit?"

Lin Rou took a deep breath and asked tentatively, "Clan Chief Cao, I heard that your relationship with Gu Yun is good. I want to ask, do you have any news about him?"
