Chapter 875 Needless to say
The conversation between the two naturally stunned the Zhao family.

"Young Master, you and Fairy Lin have known each other for a long time?" the Zhao family's deputy captain asked curiously.

Zhao Wuyan said calmly, "As I told you before, I didn't know how to cultivate with this body at first. I almost died because of the Ice Soul Yin Yang Pearl. I only achieved what I have today because of the help of a benefactor. Lin Zhao is that benefactor."

After hearing this, the Zhao family members looked at each other in bewilderment. Finally, the elder leading the group couldn't help but sigh, "Fairy Lin is truly a benefactor to our Zhao family."

In the Divine Soul World, the Zhao family secured resources for each generation of young people thanks to Lin Zhao. In the Upper Realm, thanks to Lin Zhao's intervention, Zhao Wuyan ascended to immortality, completely stabilizing the Zhao family's status as a celestial clan.

It has to be said that the Zhao family really owes Lin Zhao a lot of favors.

"This shows that I do indeed have some connection with the Zhao family."

Lin Zhao noticed that Zhao Wuyan's gaze on her was somewhat familiar. He immediately twitched his lips, turned to look at Qu Shu, then took a few steps back, walked to Qu Shu's side, and smiled slightly at Zhao Wuyan.

It's not that Zhao Wuyan isn't good enough to be her Daoist partner or anything like that.

At a time like this, Lin Zhao really had no interest in romantic relationships anymore, especially since feelings are indeed irrational.

She felt a little admiration and appreciation for Zhao Wuyan, and at most, she would just be friends with him.

It's just that Su Bai isn't here now; otherwise, it would be better to directly use Su Bai to refuse.

However, standing next to Qu Shu, Zhao Wuyan, being intelligent enough, could understand what she meant.

As expected, upon noticing Lin Zhao's actions, Zhao Wuyan looked up and met Qu Shu's cold, silver eyes.

Qu Shu is the kind of person who, even the proudest woman, would nod in approval and praise him as being no less capable than me.

Zhao Wuyan compared himself and Qu Shu from beginning to end and came to the conclusion that if Lin Zhao really liked this style, he really had no chance of winning against Qu Shu.

But not having a chance of winning doesn't mean he'll give up.

If he were the kind of person who would give up so easily, he wouldn't have been able to wait for Lin Zhao to appear back in the Ancestral Phoenix Plane, and would have been tricked by the villains of the Phoenix Medicine Sect.

So Zhao Wuyan greeted Qu Shu.

Qu Shu was also somewhat helpless because of Lin Zhao's actions.

However, Zhao Wuyan in front of him was not a particularly troublesome opponent, so he said, "Young Master Zhao, hello, I am Qu Shu of the Heavenly Phoenix Clan."

Zhao Wuyan had long heard of Qu Shu's name, and his eyes flickered: "Qu Shu of the Heavenly Phoenix Clan, isn't that Su Bai of the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox Clan?"

The Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox clan members' expressions became somewhat subtle upon hearing Zhao Wuyan's words: "How dare you address our clan's demon ancestor by his name?"

Are you kidding? This kind of grand competition is a must-attend event for young people like them. For someone of the Demon Ancestor's caliber, this kind of grand event is something he has to attend, okay? Why would the Demon Ancestor be here?

This guy is clearly asking a question he already knows the answer to!
Zhao Wuyan seemed oblivious to the hostility of the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox Clan, and said slowly, "I've heard that Lin Zhao, the young master of the Celestial Phoenix Clan, and Su Bai of the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox Clan are Daoist partners, but it seems they have no connection with His Highness Qu Shu of the Celestial Phoenix Clan?"

So Lin Zhao's actions today were simply an attempt to reject him.

In that instant, Zhao Wuyan didn't know whether to be happy that his opponent wasn't the man in front of him, or sad that Lin Zhao had just randomly picked someone to reject him.

Lin Zhao coughed and said, "The Demon Ancestor is over there on the judges' panel. We'll see him in a bit."

This evasive explanation eventually made Zhao Wuyan nod, give Qu Shu a meaningful look, and then turn and leave with the Zhao family.

The Zhao family members were nearly stunned when they saw their young master dare to look the Tianhuang clan members in the eye with such fervor.

After walking for a while, they wanted to persuade him to stop, but considering Zhao Wuyan's talent and strength, they felt it was unnecessary.

"Young Master, there's no need to be discouraged. With your talent and elegance, even if you can't become Fairy Lin's Daoist partner, you could still be..."

The vice-captain was halfway through his sentence when the elder in charge gave him a sidelong glance. He then remembered that no matter how disadvantaged Zhao Wuyan was compared to Lin Zhao's other Daoist partners, he was still the future master of the Zhao family of Immortal Forest. To make him a concubine sounded insane enough. But…

No matter how the vice-captain thought about it, he felt that even being a junior member might be a bit difficult for his young master.

……

After separating from the Zhao family, Jin Ya chuckled. The two sisters, Huang Qing and Huang Yan, also looked at Lin Zhao with some strange expressions.

Lin Zhao said helplessly, "Ask whatever you want. I can see you're holding it in quite a bit."

Huang Yu was young and couldn't keep a secret. Hearing Lin Zhao's permission, she asked, "Was that also your ex-lover?"

Lin Zhao's pupils suddenly contracted.

What terrible thing to say?
Listen to what this is saying!
What does "also" mean? What does "ex-lover" mean?!

Does she have other ex-lovers?

Fortunately, Su Bai isn't here.

Lin Zhao was relieved.

"That's a friend I knew before. Don't spread rumors and ruin someone's reputation. It's nothing that I have a Daoist partner. Even the young master of the Zhao family is looking for a Daoist partner."

Huang Qing smiled and said, "But the way this person looks at the young master is not innocent."

After being glanced at by Lin Zhao, Huang Qing became honest: "Since the young master doesn't like it and has made it so clear to him, it would be best to make it clear to the Demon Ancestor as well."

She could also see that the Demon Ancestor might not care about Qu Shu, but as a man, he would have some possessiveness.

Lin Zhao sighed, "I'll go and tell them."

She had encountered many men since she began her cultivation, but probably only a few of them had any feelings for her, and she ended up meeting them all here.

Lin Zhao felt unlucky and went to the venue for the opening ceremony of the competition with others.

Their entrance was in the southwest, while the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox Clan's was in the east.

After Su Yan and Lin Zhao said goodbye, they had just arrived at the eastern entrance when a cold white figure appeared not far away.

Su Yan immediately bowed and said, "Your Excellency."

Su Bai stood in mid-air and asked, "Is there anything unusual?"

Su Yan thought for a moment, unsure whether to mention Zhao Wuyan. After all, Su Bai had asked her to go there mainly to protect Lin Zhao and check if the High Priest had any ulterior motives around Lin Zhao.

Both of these points are correct.

So she shook her head.

"Then why do you look like that?" Su Bai's brows furrowed impatiently. "I don't have that much time to waste with you."

Su Yan quickly told Zhao Wuyan about it.

Su Bai frowned even more, but relaxed slightly after realizing Lin Zhao had refused.

"I understand. Go and participate in the competition."

He knew Lin Zhao's personality well; this Zhao Wuyan wasn't even qualified to join.
