Chapter 839: Ch 589 - Could It Be That Young Master He Also Has Eyes on Lady Pei?

"Oh my, if it isn’t eldest young master Lin!"A white-clothed young man sitting beside her suddenly spoke up with a cold sneer.

His voice was clear and sharp. It was like a divine sword of blazing sunlight slicing through the night sky. In a mere instant, it shattered the atmosphere inside the entire room.

The woman’s cold eyes could not help but freeze. She looked up at Yino’s smug face with his curled lips. The monochrome image before her eyes was once again painted with color.

At the very least, his face held color in her eyes. Perhaps it was because he carried a rebellious spirit that went against the Heavenly Mandate. He was just like that little girl from a hundred years ago who drew her sword to question the heavens during the Immortal Alliance tournament, a sword dao prodigy whom countless Elders called fearless.

"A few days ago, that younger brother of yours, Lin Ze, just delivered the Azure Dragon bloodline to me at the Liu mansion. It’s a pity the boy’s purity was too low. I wonder if Eldest Young Master Lin plans on coming to the Jianlan Sect in the future to get me some higher purity Azure Dragon bloodline?"

Right in front of Lin Yuchen’s face, Yino continued to spout his provocative remarks with great relish.

The moment those words came out, the man’s expression turned vicious. Even Pei Zhihan’s eyes widened in sheer astonishment.

At his first sentence, she had only been surprised.

But now, she was certain she had not misheard. Yino was blatantly provoking the Lin family heir’s authority in public.

Furthermore, he mentioned consuming Lin Ze’s Azure Dragon bloodline earlier. That did not seem like a joke either. She could clearly feel Lin Yuchen’s expression twist in fury the moment Yino said those words.

It was true. Yino had actually dared to extract the bloodline of the Lin mansion’s third young master right inside the Liu mansion!

"He Yino..."

"Do you have a death wish?"

Lin Yuchen’s face had already darkened. He tightly clenched his fists. The terrifying aura of the Great Vehicle stage almost instantly enveloped the entire Jianlan Sect seating area.

However, sitting beside Pei Zhihan, Yino remained completely unfazed.

"What’s wrong? I’ve heard the Lin mansion holds monstrous authority in the Northern Region. Why don’t you try touching me here in the capital?"

The young man continued to sit with his legs crossed, entirely secure in the knowledge that he had backing.

While it was true that his cultivation was no match for his opponent, this was not some ancient battlefield in the desolate wilderness of the Northern or Western Regions. This was the Immortal Alliance headquarters in the capital. It belonged to the globally recognized direct jurisdiction of imperial power.

Even if the king of heaven himself arrived today, he would not dare to cause trouble right under the Dragon Emperor’s nose.

What was more, Lin Yuchen’s cultivation was still inferior to Pei Zhihan’s. Yino had sat so close to her the moment he entered the room precisely to mooch off her cultivation realm.

If the man truly lost his temper and attacked, Yino could simply hide behind the woman to save his own life.

"You brat from the He family, you’re quite interesting."

Lin Yuchen was no fool either. Naturally, he would not be provoked into attacking after just a few words.

This year’s martial arts tournament was personally overseen by her majesty the Dragon Empress. If he dared to bully the weak and lay even a single finger on Yino, his Lin family would never be able to justify their actions.

Also, who in the world did not know that the newly ascended White Dragon Empress was supported by the He mansion? As a faction rallying around the Azure Dragon King, the Lin mansion was already heavily disliked in the Central Plains region. How could Lin Yuchen possibly hand over a weakness to his family’s political enemies?

"Looking at young master He’s intentions, could it be that you also have designs on Lady Pei?"

After a moment of thought, Lin Yuchen reined in his previous fury. He leaned against the wall with a cold sneer and began probing into Yino’s background.

At the end of the day, he did not know the young man at all. Even though the incident with Lin Ze had indeed brought shame to his family, it wasn’t his own bloodline that got extracted.

To be honest, he could not care less about what happened to his younger brother. It would be better if Lin Ze died. That way, he would have one less potential competitor fighting for resources in the Grand Tutor’s Mansion in the future.

Thinking about it this way, he could only guess that Yino had set his sights on the exact same prey.

"Since young master Lin is so tactful, please go back. Stop scheming against our family’s Lady Pei from now on."

Yino smiled faintly. He spouted this nonsense without the slightest bit of shame.

The moment he said this, let alone his opponent, even Zhihan sitting to the side instantly snapped her head around in shock.

The emotions in her chest were incredibly complex. She felt somewhat flattered by the protection, yet deeply suspicious of his true motives toward her.

After all, both of these men held the status of young masters from Grand Tutor Mansions.

In terms of sentiment, his words could be seen as protecting her. But if one truly considered the underlying interests, it was nothing more than two major clans fighting over a lucrative prize on the dinner table.

"Young master He certainly talks big!"

"However, as far as I know, your He mansion may possess significant influence in the Central Plains, but the Jianlan Sect is located in the Northern Region. If Lady Pei is truly seeking a backer, I’m afraid your family’s reach is not long enough to govern over here."

Lin Yuchen found it laughable. He only felt that the boy was speaking arrogant nonsense.

Yino sighed, feeling rather bored. "What does my family’s reach over the Jianlan Sect have to do with me? As long as I can personally take care of Lady Pei’s affairs within the sect, that’s enough."

"On your own?"

Adding another line to this absurd conversation, the older man genuinely did not know where to even begin mocking him. He wasn’t angry at all anymore. Instead, he was thoroughly amused, looking at Yino as if watching a fool.

Yino propped his chin on his hand. He shifted his gaze to the real-time broadcast of the tournament playing on the spiritual art projection in the corner of the private room.

"Before young master Lin shamelessly discusses who Lady Pei’s future, why don’t you open your eyes and take a good look at whether Lin Che has actually lost this match?"

The moment his voice faded, it was as if he had perfectly timed it. When the other two turned around to look, they happened to see the buzz-cut boy on the Dao Testing Pavilion suddenly erupt with a terrifying golden Spirit power.

"Break!" the buzz-cut boy roared out loud.

He released his grip on his sword. Shattering his restraints with just his physical body, he delivered a simple and brutal punch right into his opponent’s face.

Boom!

Terrifying golden veins exploded across the boy’s fist. The sheer force was so immense that even the immortal tower housing the entire Dao Testing Pavilion trembled in response.

"What?"

Lin Yuchen’s lips twitched slightly. The composure on his face vanished without a trace.
