Fantasy: Ten Dragons Compete for the Throne, I, the Villain, Choose to Play it Off

Chapter 18 Lin Xiaoxiao and Lin Yunlang

It's obvious they knew their relationship wasn't good, so seeing them together now is quite surprising.

"Just came out for a stroll."

Qin Linglong said with a smile, and couldn't help but glance at Li Qiye.

Lin Xiaoxiao ran over with a grin, grabbed Qin Linglong's arm, and pointed to the handsome young man next to her, saying, "Sister Linglong, let me introduce you. This is the brother I mentioned to you before, his name is Lin Yunlang!"

The young man named Lin Yunlang said with a smile, "I have long admired Miss Linglong's name!"

"My younger sister is usually quite unruly, and she was very fortunate to have been taken care of by Miss Linglong when she was at the academy."

"It's nothing. I hit it off with Xiaoxiao the moment we met, so it's only right that I take care of her."

Qin Linglong's smile was faint, and her tone carried a hint of distance.

"Don't be so polite, it's giving me a headache."

Lin Xiaoxiao said with a smile, "Sister Linglong, I see you're shopping too, do you want to go together..."

Lin Yunlang glanced at Qin Linglong, then at Li Qiye who stood beside her with a calm expression, and interrupted with a smile, "Xiaoxiao, have you forgotten that we are going to pay our respects to Uncle Sun later?"

"It seems so."

Lin Xiaoxiao looked at Qin Linglong with a hint of regret and said, "Sister Linglong, I'm so sorry, I can't go shopping with you this time."

Qin Linglong, who was pondering how to refuse, breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly said:

"Then let's go shopping together again next time."

Lin Xiaoxiao also waved her hand.

"Li Qiye, let's go now."

Qin Linglong visibly breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Qiye remained silent throughout. Before leaving, he nodded to Lin Yunlang, and then turned and left with Qin Linglong.

Lin Xiaoxiao watched the two figures disappear into the crowd, and couldn't help but purse her lips and say:
"Brother, how come I didn't know we had an Uncle Sun in this Great Zhou Dynasty?"

"It's not easy to get a date with Sister Linglong normally, so how could I miss such a great opportunity?"

Hearing this, Lin Yunlang shook his head and laughed, "Little sister, didn't you realize that your clever sister doesn't want us to go shopping with her?"

"Is that so?"

Lin Xiaoxiao wasn't stupid; otherwise, she wouldn't have understood the meaning behind Lin Yunlang's words and picked up on the conversation.

"Brother, didn't Sister Linglong used to really dislike that tenth prince? Why is she willing to go shopping with him now?"

Lin Xiaoxiao asked with a puzzled look on her face.

"You said it was in the past."

Lin Yunlang remained calm and said indifferently, "When you were talking to her just now, she kept glancing at that tenth prince."

"If you don't like it, how could you have such an attitude?"

"Is that so?"

Lin Xiaoxiao frowned slightly, looking annoyed, and said, "Sister Linglong is really something. This tenth prince is good-for-nothing, idle and good-for-nothing, and doesn't do anything productive..."

"Ignorant, idle, and unproductive?"

Lin Yunlang's eyes deepened, and he said with a half-smile, "If he is ignorant and idle, then the geniuses on the list of prodigies are probably all mediocre."

"Brother, is he really that good? I didn't see it coming."

Li Xiaoxiao was taken aback and asked in surprise.

She also knew that her brother was always arrogant and not just anyone could catch his eye.

As one of the top ten geniuses on the list of geniuses, he has every right to be proud.

But he actually spoke so highly of this tenth prince.

"I hope he's only as far as I perceive him to be..."

Thinking back to how he had used his pupil technique on Li Qiye and sensed the other's blood and qi flowing like a surging river, he was deeply shocked.

What alarmed him even more was that what he had just sensed was likely only the tip of the iceberg when it came to the tenth prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No one knew that such a genius was not on the list of prodigies.

At this moment, Lin Yunlang felt that the Heavenly Pride Ranking was a joke.

Just a glimpse through a tube reveals how many hidden geniuses and prodigies there are in this world.

Qin Linglong and Li Qiye walked down the street again. Several times Qin Linglong hesitated to speak, but when they were almost at their destination, she finally couldn't help but ask in a low voice:

"Li Qiye, you weren't angry just now, were you?"

After hearing this, Li Qiye looked at Qin Linglong with a puzzled expression and said, "Why would you ask that?"

"Don't you want to reject them? Since that's your opinion, why should I be angry?"

It must be said that Lin Yunlang is quite perceptive; he is someone who knows how to assess the situation and act accordingly.

And it is people like that who are able to live longer.

Hearing this, Qin Linglong breathed a sigh of relief.

She then became a little shy; her words were essentially a confession.

Born into a prestigious family, she has always been someone who dares to love and hate.

Back then, her dislike for the Tenth Prince, Li Qiye, was evident on her face and on her lips.

They often spoke ill of Li Qiye in front of him, thinking that he spent his days eating, drinking, and having fun, and did not do anything productive.

Even if he were a prince, Qin Linglong would not give him a kind look.

After acquiring the system, Qin Linglong had no choice but to get closer to Li Qiye, only to discover another side of him.

They discovered that he wasn't as ignorant and incompetent as they had imagined; his usual behavior was just an act for outsiders.

She couldn't help but feel curious about Li Qiye.

When a girl becomes curious about a boy, that's when she begins to fall for him.

"Here we are."

Just then, Li Qiye spoke up.

Qin Linglong suppressed her shyness and curiously raised her head.

I saw a magnificent pavilion with three huge characters on it—Seven Star Pavilion!

The Seven Star Tower is a powerful force spread throughout the world.

The founder of Seven Star Tower was an Emperor Realm expert who entered the Dao through business and placed great emphasis on the spirit of contracts and rules.

The Seven Star Tower is in no way inferior to those super powers, but it never participates in any power struggles.

Its principle is to focus solely on business, avoid all other considerations, and ensure fair trade.

It is precisely because of the neutrality of the Seven Star Tower that they have been able to establish themselves throughout the world, and no one is willing to provoke them.

It's worth mentioning that although the prices at Qixinglou are slightly higher than outside, there will absolutely be no counterfeit or substandard goods.

Therefore, many cultivators would rather spend more spirit stones to buy from the Seven Star Tower in order to avoid unnecessary trouble.

"Tenth Prince, would you like to go to the Seven Star Tower to buy something?"

To ease the awkwardness, Qin Linglong took the initiative to ask a question, breaking the silence between the two.

However, after asking the question, Qin Linglong regretted it and felt that she was being silly.

If you're not going to buy anything at Qixinglou, what's the point of going there?

"Ah."

Li Qiye nodded.

In his mind, the coordinates of the flashing point on the map were on the third floor of the Seven Star Building.

This saved Li Qiye the trouble of searching, it seems the system is quite considerate.
