Chapter 264: They Fight Each Other, So They Won't Hit Me
Upon hearing this cold and frosty voice, Zhang Chi's whole body stiffened. He had actually been hoping for Long Yan to come back and confront Miao Yin, but he definitely did not want it to happen at this moment.
Although it wasn't catching them in bed, it was close enough.
Zhang Chi felt guilty, but he put on a delighted expression and turned around, saying, "Sister Long, you're back!"
Although he was anxious inside, he couldn't show it now.
He had to appear calm and composed, as if he didn't know he had done anything wrong.
I'm only eighteen this year, compared to these sisters, I'm just a child!
Zhang Chi's joyful appearance actually calmed down half of Long Yan's anger, and the other half slowly dissipated. She was still wondering if she had overreacted to Zhang Chi's nonchalant attitude.
But there was still a hint of sourness in her heart, and her tone became slightly resentful as she said, "I was afraid that if I didn't come back, my Dao companion would be taken away by someone else."
Seeing this, Zhang Chi quickly said, "Why would Sister say that?"
Before Long Yan came here, she had also heard some rumors.
Yesterday, Miao Yin openly talked about her relationship with Zhang Chi in front of everyone. Although the disciples of the Sword Sect wouldn't cause trouble and spread rumors, there was still a nosy bird on the mountain.
As soon as Long Yan arrived at Little Warehouse Mountain, Cai Yu eagerly shared the gossip she had heard yesterday.
Upon hearing it, Long Yan's expression immediately turned sour.
She had only returned to Dragon Transformation Palace for a short while, and she didn't expect Miao Yin to come and steal her man.
Fortunately, she had taken on a task to come to Little Warehouse Mountain, otherwise she wouldn't have known about this.
However, Long Yan still had confidence in Zhang Chi. She believed that he wouldn't be easily swayed by Miao Yin.
But even with trust, no one could remain calm in such a situation.
So as soon as she received the news, she hurriedly came to find Zhang Chi, but she didn't expect to see Zhang Chi and Miao Yin being affectionate. They truly were a perfect match.
Long Yan was instantly filled with anger, her teeth aching. If it weren't for Zhang Chi's skillful handling, there would have been a tragedy today.
Even so, Long Yan's anger hadn't completely subsided. She just hadn't reacted yet.
Her sharp gaze swept towards Miao Yin, and she coldly said, "I heard that Perfected Being Miao Yin has some thoughts about my Dao companion. Is there anything Perfected Being wants to explain?"
Celestial Melody Pavilion might be afraid of Dragon Transformation Palace, but Miao Yin wasn't afraid of Long Yan.
"There's nothing to explain. I just took a liking to Zhang Chi. He's not your Dao companion yet."
Miao Yin's bluntness exceeded Long Yan's expectations.
Long Yan had known Miao Yin since she went to Celestial Melody Pavilion to learn arts. She had seen Miao Yin back then, known as the Heartless Fairy, the most cold and indifferent person.
She only focused on cultivation all year round and rarely interacted with outsiders.
Miao Yin's personality had changed slightly when they met again, and she wasn't as cold as before, but Long Yan didn't think much of it. After all, they weren't close before.
But she never expected Miao Yin to be so shameless, openly saying that she wanted to compete for her Dao companion in front of her!
Enough is enough, she couldn't tolerate it any longer.
Long Yan's anger surged once again, but this time it wasn't directed at Zhang Chi, but at Miao Yin.
Zhang Chi silently took a step back, giving them space to fight.
Fight, they needed to fight. Only when they fought would they forget about what just happened.
Even though Zhang Chi was cunning, he didn't know how to let himself be fed by Miao Yin as if it were a matter of course.
Just now, there was a quick wit to deceive them. Now, it is better to let them fight so that Zhang Chi can have leisure to think about countermeasures.
It's impossible to deny the truth. Since it was a mistake, the only option is to admit it.
It's all because he was blinded by beauty and became a bit reckless, losing his usual caution.
Blame it on Miao Yin. Sincerity is the most powerful thing, and it is also dangerous for Zhang Chi.
He is afraid of being captivated by Miao Yin, so it's better to let Long Yan fight her.
Neither of the two women noticed Zhang Chi's small actions. At this moment, they only had each other in their eyes.
"Elder is a respected Perfected Being. It seems inappropriate to blatantly snatch someone else's Dao companion, which not only damages the reputation of the Perfected Being, but also tarnishes the reputation of the Celestial Melody Pavilion. Please think twice, Elder."
Long Yan has been acting as the temporary palace master at the Dragon Transformation Palace these days, and her eloquence and quarreling skills have improved.
Miao Yin didn't respond to this move. She calmly replied, "I have never cared about my reputation. As for the Celestial Melody Pavilion, they can just expel me from the sect if they want to."
"I want to be with Zhang Chi with this kind of determination. Do you have it?"
Long Yan: "..."
She failed to mock Miao Yin and was instead killed by Miao Yin.
In comparison, Miao Yin is indeed more sincere. She can give up the sect and personal reputation for Zhang Chi, but her initial intention to become Dao companions with Zhang Chi was only to fulfill her family's legacy.
In this comparison, the difference is clear.
Long Yan nervously glanced at Zhang Chi, and indeed, Zhang Chi was moved by Miao Yin's words.
Danger!
As a spectator, Zhang Chi had to admit that Miao Yin's impact was much stronger than Long Yan's.
This battle will be difficult for Long Yan.
He looked at Long Yan with a warning gaze.
Miao Yin is two hundred years old, you can't beat her!
Of course, Long Yan didn't know what Zhang Chi meant. She looked at Miao Yin and said coldly, "You don't care about yourself or the sect, but can't you at least consider public order and morality?"
"Zhang Chi has already made a promise to me, yet you still come to provoke him. Are you trying to lead him astray?"
"If he abandons you and follows me, his reputation will indeed be damaged, but at least I can ensure his safety and protect him from being plotted against."
"My family doesn't have a sect that I need to inherit."
"But you, are you really willing to use Zhang Chi's kindness and make him bear the risk of being plotted against?"
Long Yan: "..."
She was killed again.
Although she believed that she could protect Zhang Chi and that Long Yi was not a bad person, she didn't have the confidence to say such words.
Because the repeated incidents have made her realize that only the power completely under her control can be considered her own power, and the rest is uncontrollable.
Just like when she tried to save Miao Yin and used herself as bait to force the two Purple Dragon Guards to take action, they didn't do anything.
So, whether she can really protect Zhang Chi, she doesn't have that absolute confidence.
Believing is one thing, being able to do it is another.
For a while, Long Yan was speechless.
She couldn't come up with powerful words to guarantee that she could definitely protect Zhang Chi, nor could she ignore the risk of Zhang Chi being plotted against.
In this regard, she has been overthinking, to the point where she couldn't be as straightforward and decisive as Miao Yin, and naturally fell behind Miao Yin in terms of momentum.
But she was the one who arrived first!
Zhang Chi agreed to become her Dao companion before he met Miao Yin!
Could it be that she's going to lose to Miao Yin like this?
Long Yan felt very dissatisfied in her heart, but she didn't know how to refute it for a while.
Seeing that she was unable to say anything after holding her breath for a long time, Zhang Chi knew that Long Yan had completely lost.
It must be said that Miao Yin was really fierce after unleashing her full power, and Zhang Chi couldn't resist it.
However, Long Yan was indeed too weak.
At this moment, Zhang Chi could only step forward to support Long Yan.
"Sisters, please stop arguing. I have made a decision about this matter."
Zhang Chi said firmly, "I will definitely fulfill the promise I made to Sister Long."
When he said this, Zhang Chi was looking at Miao Yin. His tone was resolute, but his eyes showed a hint of reluctance.
This look was meant for Miao Yin to ponder over.
Miao Yin could understand at a glance that Zhang Chi must also have feelings for her. The exchange of gazes between them just now was filled with affection and not fake.
But Zhang Chi was a person who valued trust and kept his promises. Even if he liked her, he would have to become Dao companions with Long Yan in order to repay her kindness.
This look contained three parts of apology, three parts of reluctance, and three parts of determination, causing Miao Yin to feel a pang of heartache.
She was unwilling!
If Zhang Chi was heartless towards her, it would be one thing, but it was clear that Zhang Chi also liked her!
How could she let Zhang Chi be swayed by gratitude and ignore it?
At this moment, Miao Yin's fighting spirit was completely strengthened.
Before Miao Yin could speak, Zhang Chi looked at Long Yan again and said apologetically, "Please don't blame Sister Long for Miao Yin's concern for my safety. She has no ill intentions."
This apologetic look seemed to be pleading with Long Yan, giving Miao Yin some face and avoiding further arguments.
Seeing him like this, Long Yan, who had a temper, couldn't erupt in anger and could only remain silent, but she became even more dissatisfied with Miao Yin.
And Miao Yin, seeing Zhang Chi apologize to Long Yan again, felt that Zhang Chi had suffered a great injustice. Her gaze towards Long Yan became even more fierce.
"You don't love Zhang Chi at all, you're just using gratitude to repay a favor. If you really need a man to continue your bloodline, I can do my best to help you choose until you're satisfied."
Miao Yin looked at Long Yan and directly used secret transmission.
Long Yan became even angrier after hearing this. She felt that Miao Yin was looking down on her feelings for Zhang Chi, which was an insult to her.
At first, she did want Zhang Chi to pretend to be her Dao companion, but if she didn't like Zhang Chi, why did it have to be him?
She was just shy and didn't want to directly reveal her feelings.
Moreover, she never thought that she owed Zhang Chi anything.
She did help Zhang Chi and Sword Sect a lot, but didn't Zhang Chi help her too?
In her opinion, she and Zhang Chi had always been friends who helped each other, and there was no sense of indebtedness between them.
And Zhang Chi also liked her, it wasn't just because he wanted to help her that he was willing to become Dao companions with her.
There was clearly mutual affection between her and Zhang Chi, and Miao Yin was simply a third party interfering.
It was just that Zhang Chi was soft-hearted and didn't know how to refuse others, which allowed her to take advantage.
"It's rare for Senior Miao Yin to have feelings for my Zhang Chi, but I can't be with anyone other than Zhang Chi. If Senior wants to pick a man at random, there are plenty of outstanding young talents in my Dragon Transformation Palace."
The two of them were only looking at each other on the surface, but their secret transmission was full of sarcasm. It was almost like they were openly insulting each other for being lustful.
"I won't let go."
Miao Yin said firmly.
Long Yan also responded without hesitation, "I won't give you a chance either. Zhang Chi's Dao companion can only be me!"
As their eyes met, sparks flew.
Zhang Chi knew they were definitely whispering to each other, but he pretended not to know and let the two of them argue.
As long as they didn't fight in front of him, he could play dumb.
"By the way, Sister Long, did you handle everything at the Dragon Transformation Palace today?"
Zhang Chi changed the subject, seemingly trying to ease the tension between the two.
Speaking of this, Long Yan had to temporarily put aside her jealousy towards Miao Yin. There were matters of importance and urgency, and she was not a reckless woman.
"I came here for this matter. Right now, it's not just about the Dragon Transformation Palace, but the entire Dragon River Alliance."
Long Yan's tone was very serious as she said this.
Without waiting for Zhang Chi to ask, she began to explain the current situation in detail.
Yesterday, Long Yi and the Black Emperor of the Sea Monster Race, Ao Mo, fought until midnight, and neither side emerged as the winner.
After both sides stopped, Ao Mo still insisted that the Dragon River Alliance return Ao Long, otherwise a storm would be stirred up in three days, and the monsters ruled by the Black Emperor's Palace would land and begin indiscriminate slaughter.
Of course, Long Yi would not indulge Ao Mo. Losing face for the human race, he firmly stated that the land-dwelling human race was not responsible for Ao Long's matter. At most, they would help investigate the rescue, and Sea Monster Race would only be allowed to send a hundred Sea Monsters with cultivation levels below the Monster King to search within the human territory.
Furthermore, Sea Monster Race was not allowed to disturb the human race, otherwise the human race had the right to kill them.
With such a tough stance, Ao Mo naturally did not agree.
The two sides did not reach a consensus and ended up parting ways unhappily.
However, the Black Emperor did not immediately take action, and Long Yi also sent people to search for Ao Long's whereabouts.
Moreover, other allied forces of the Western State Alliance also sent a respected steward, Xuan Feng Venerable, to mediate. Similarly, the Western Emperor of the Sea Monster Race also arrived at the battlefield.
Both sides approached the problem with a peaceful resolution in mind and negotiated for a long time, but in the end, there was no result.
The Black Emperor refused to back down, and the human race alliance could not back down either.
At present, everyone could only pray that Ao Long would be found within three days, otherwise, this battle would likely be unstoppable.
For this reason, the Dragon River Alliance held an emergency meeting overnight and decided to send away some potential sparks.
Regardless of the final outcome of the war between the human race and the Sea Monster race, the losses would be significant. If a real fight broke out, there would definitely be rivers of blood.
The various sects were not afraid of trouble, but they had to be prepared for everything.
Therefore, someone proposed the Spark Plan during the alliance meeting, and it was unanimously approved by all the sects.
The Spark Plan involved temporarily sending away talented individuals to avoid calamity, so that they wouldn't die in the war.
This plan was divided into three stages.
Those under the age of eighteen who reached the tenth level of Qi Condensation, those under thirty who reached the initial stage of Foundation Building, those under a hundred who reached the Divine Soul realm, those under two hundred who reached the Divine Ability Realm, and those whose age did not exceed four hundred at present.
These were the ages calculated for entering the corresponding stages. Those who met these criteria were considered talented sparks and worthy of cultivation.
Zhang Chi happened to meet the requirements, so naturally, he became a spark.
Long Yan was also personally assigned to assess which sparks in Sword Sect met the criteria and could be taken away.
Coincidentally, she, Zhang Chi, and Miao Yin all met the requirements to become sparks.
If this war were to break out, they would not be allowed to participate...
