Chapter 25 Green Tea White

Lin Family Restaurant, private room number three.

Lin Zhao rested her chin on her hand, looking at the young man in front of her who had ordered a bunch of dishes, her eyebrows slightly raised.

"You sure know how to eat."

Su Bai put down the menu and said with a smile, "Since my sister has gone to so much trouble to treat me to a meal, of course I have to make sure I get my money's worth."

Lin Zhao looked at it carefully for a while and found that most of them were flavors she liked. She was somewhat impressed by Su Bai's memory.

While waiting for the food to be served, Lin Zhao suddenly sensed a familiar fluctuation of spiritual energy, and she frowned.

Before they could even think about why the other party had suddenly appeared in Linjia City, the door to the private room was violently pushed open.

Upon seeing the young man and woman sitting opposite each other in the private room, Shen Yuhan's face instantly darkened even more than the black cloak he was wearing.

He used almost all his strength to control himself and avoid slapping the troublesome kid away.

"Zhao Zhao."

Seeing Shen Yuhan's angry expression, as if her husband had caught her cheating, Lin Zhao put down the menu in her hand and felt that she had lost her appetite before even eating.

Seeing that Shen Yuhan seemed to want to attack Su Bai again, Lin Zhao stepped in front of Su Bai and said sarcastically, "Your Highness has quite a temper."

The way the girl in front of him protected other men made Shen Yuhan's already injured body surge with even more blood and qi.

Seeing Lin Zhao's cold expression, Shen Yuhan calmed down a bit. He knew that he had wronged her on their wedding day, so he could only suppress his anger and discomfort and patiently coax her.

"Zhaozhao, let's talk about the past in private. Now, could you ask the outsiders to leave?"

He would never allow Lin Zhao to be alone in a room with another woman.

Unfortunately, Lin Zhao was always very impatient with Shen Yuhan's inexplicable possessiveness.

It's always been like this; none of the people she saves, none of the things she likes, can stay with her for long.

It seemed as if her life, her existence, could only revolve around Shen Yuhan.

She kept her feelings hidden for a long time, partly because of her family and the affection she had for her childhood sweetheart, and partly because she was being controlled and couldn't break free.

Now, Shen Yuhan has lost the right to be unconditionally tolerated by Lin Zhao.

Lin Zhao blocked Su Bai's path, his tone becoming more resolute. "Xiao Bai is not an outsider; he is my younger brother. As for Shen Shengzi, you and I have no relationship since we parted ways at Cloud Peak."

"I did not agree!"

Suppressing his anger, afraid of hurting her and also afraid of aggravating his own internal injuries, Shen Yuhan restrained his rampaging spiritual power, his eyes reddening, and repeated what he had just said.

It's as if repeating your words will earn the other person's approval.

Even though his mind was completely blank, he spoke clearly.

"I could never agree to that."

Lin Zhao noticed that something seemed wrong with him and frowned: "Manager, please ask this guest to leave."

Shen Yuhan swallowed the metallic taste in her throat, her somewhat wicked peach blossom eyes lowered, her long eyelashes concealing the obsession within them, her tone filled with a morbid infatuation and possessiveness. "You don't want the Yaochi Holy Land to target the Lin family, do you?"

He said, almost frantically, "Zhaozhao, you know I would do anything for you."

This madman!

Lin Zhao clenched her fists.

Before she could speak, Su Bai, who was behind her, slowly walked out and stood slightly behind her. He stared at Shen Yuhan expressionlessly, but his gaze was as if he were looking at a dead person.

The red-clad youth's eyes held a disdainful arrogance, yet his voice was elegant and clear, a stark contrast to his demeanor.

"Shen Shengzi, do you really think your position as Shengzi is secure and that you can represent Yaochi Holy Land?" The Thunder Palace mark appeared between his brows, startling Shen Yuhan.

Thinking of the recent turmoil in the Yaochi Holy Land, Shen Yuhan flew into a rage: "Was it you who instigated Jiang Yan to compete with me for the position of Holy Son? When did the Thunder Palace start engaging in such underhanded dealings?!"

Su Bai raised an eyebrow. When he saw Lin Zhao looking over, he immediately suppressed the unrestrained arrogance in his eyes and returned to his dignified and elegant demeanor. He smiled gently and explained calmly.

"The position of Holy Son belongs to the capable, and Thunder Palace is merely expressing its support for him. After all, I am not as powerful as His Highness the Holy Son, and I do not have much say in the sect, so I can only do my best to promote fairness. However, this is also for the sake of Yaochi Holy Land. His Highness the Holy Son will not blame me, will he?"

Shen Yuhan was so angry that the veins on her forehead throbbed. She decided to ignore him and avoid looking at him altogether. "Zhaozhao, let's go outside and talk."

The Thunder Palace is to the Jade Pool Holy Land what the Jade Pool Holy Land is to the Lin family today—both are behemoths that the latter cannot shake.

Shen Yuhan naturally dared not target Su Bai in the same way she had targeted those around Lin Zhao before.

Lin Zhao sneered, "Shen Shengzi, please have some self-respect. Just call me Miss Lin. Besides, I have nothing to say to you."

Shen Yuhan gritted her teeth: "You're going to use this man to threaten me?"

Lin Zhao was amused by his double standards: "Aren't you also oppressing my Lin family by relying on the Yaochi Holy Land?"

In the Heavenly Phoenix Continent, strength reigns supreme. So what if she borrowed the power of Su Bai's Thunder Palace?
Knowing she couldn't force her way out of things today, but unable to accept that Lin Zhao had another man by her side, Shen Yuhan softened her tone and pleaded, "Zhao Zhao, we've been together for ten years, how can you bear to sever all ties like this?"

Su Bai noticed the impatience in Lin Zhao's eyes. Although his strength now far surpassed Lin Zhao's, he still subconsciously moved back based on his childhood memories.

His intuition was right; the next moment, Lin Zhao suddenly unleashed a burst of fire.

Shen Yuhan was also a prodigy. Although he was caught off guard, he immediately released a water shield to defend himself. However, he underestimated the corrosive nature of Lin Zhao's spiritual energy.

The fire that Lin Zhao unleashed did not melt or neutralize as he had expected; instead, it shattered the water shield and burned his hands.

The pain in her palm and the discomfort in her body combined to make Shen Yuhan's face completely drained of color.

Knowing Shen Yuhan's obsessive and even insane attitude towards her, Lin Zhao did not extinguish the green flame in her hand, and looked at him with disgust.

"Get out. How many times do I have to tell you, Shen Shengzi?"

From the moment Shen Yuhan abandoned her on their wedding day, ignoring her pleas to stay, they had no chance at all.

Moreover, Shen Yuhan was using the Lin family to coerce us today. If it weren't for Su Bai, we might have had to continue to swallow our anger.

And yet, he still dares to bring up that ten-year relationship?
If it weren't for the sake of the Yaochi Holy Land and the so-called ten-year relationship, she would have rolled up her sleeves and gotten to work today.

Although she is no match for Shen Yuhan, who is about to enter the enlightenment period.

After all, Shen Yuhan, who was carefully trained by the Yaochi Holy Land, was not comparable to those good-for-nothings on Cloud Peak.

However, Shen Yuhan could not possibly lay a hand on her under any circumstances. After a moment of silence, unable to blame Lin Zhao, he vented all his anger on Su Bai.

He gave Su Bai a deep look and said sarcastically, "The Continental Grand Competition is about to begin. I hope the Thunder Palace can maintain its superior status after the competition."

Su Bai smiled and said, "There's no need for you to worry about that, Saint Shen."

Threatening Lin Zhao with her family in front of her... that guy is already half dead.

The only problem is that Shen Yuhan still has some engagement tokens that are a bit troublesome.

However, he believed that Lin Zhao would find a way to resolve the issue from today onwards.

After Shen Yuhan left, the ordered dishes were served. Lin Zhao let out a breath and looked at Su Bai, saying, "I'm sorry you had to see this."

Su Bai sat back down, looking slightly worried, and asked anxiously, "Will what I'm doing cause trouble for my sister?"

Lin Zhao waved his hand and said, "It's no big deal. He's a madman. I should thank you, otherwise I would have had to put up with this today."
