Let me explain, it's not what you think.

Tantai Qingxue is considered very tall for a woman, but Lu Chen is half a head taller than her. When she stands next to him, she has to tilt her head slightly to see his face.

She rarely uses this angle; from childhood to adulthood, she has always been the one looking down on others.

"When others see me, they either fawn over me, fear me, or are outwardly respectful but secretly slander me."

Tantai Qingxue looked up at his profile.

"Are you the only one who criticizes me to my face? Am I really that ugly?"

Unable to bear her burning gaze, Lu Chen pushed her away and pretended to take a sip of water.

But the latter clearly didn't care and instead stuck to it again.

Even when you're disgusted by me, I still look beautiful.

"Cough cough!" Lu Chen almost choked to death on the water.

He turned his head and looked at the pretty face so close to his.

At this moment, being stared at by Lu Chen, Tantai Qingxue's face also turned slightly red.

Are you crazy?

Tantai Qingxue was lifeless.

She looked at him, and the corners of her mouth curved into a smile.

"Maybe."

"But I think you're sick too. A Foundation Establishment cultivator at the peak of his cultivation dares to stand up for a cripple and offend my Li Huo Sect. Tell me, aren't we in the same boat?"

"Yes, yes, I'm sick. It's getting late. Are you coming or not?"

"I'm not leaving."

"I have nowhere to stay in this city, and I think your home is quite nice."

"You are the future sect leader of the Li Huo Sect, and you're telling me you have nowhere to stay?"

"I don't want to stay at the inn, I want to stay at your place." She said matter-of-factly.

Lu Chen took a deep breath and then slowly exhaled.

He found himself completely helpless against this woman.

She wasn't like Yu Ning, who knew how to act coquettishly; she wasn't like Zhuang Jingbai, who knew how to throw tantrums; and she wasn't like Jiang Huaiyu, who knew how to scheme.

She just stands there, quiet and unassuming, neither fierce nor aggressive, but you just can't get rid of her.

And there's no way to report it to the police! Because nobody can control this woman!

"My family doesn't have any extra rooms."

"I'll sleep in your room, you sleep on the floor."

"..."

Looking at her serious face, which didn't seem like she was joking, Lu Chen suddenly felt a headache coming on.

This woman is much more difficult to deal with than others, and she makes no attempt to hide her interest in me.

The thought of this gave him a headache.

He's just a little bit good-looking, but he's nowhere near as handsome as you, dear reader. How could so many people be targeting him?

In the end, Lu Chen did not share a room with Tantai Qingxue, but instead spent the night in a guest room, and went to the Li family early the next morning.

Little did he know that the more gentlemanly he acted by not taking advantage of others, the more points he gained in front of Tantai Qingxue.

The reason she said those things yesterday was just to test Lu Chen, and the result satisfied her greatly. Lu Chen really didn't covet her body!

……

When Lu Chen arrived at the Li family's residence, Li Fei was refining pills in the courtyard, but his mind was unstable, and he ruined the entire process.

Upon seeing Lu Chen's visit, he didn't say a word, pushed the alchemy furnace aside, and looked helplessly at the sky.

"It seems you still haven't gotten over yesterday's emotions."

"Yes, we've been very close since we were little. We grew up together and cultivated together. She said she would marry me in the future, and I liked her too. I thought she was the one for me, so I even rejected another woman who was considered a prodigy."

Upon hearing this, Lu Chen knew that the other person he was referring to was Lin Xi.

"Later, she joined the Li Huo Sect, where her talent was discovered and her cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds. We then lost contact with each other."

"Then, my cultivation got stuck and started to regress. I knew I wasn't good enough for her, but I still liked her and didn't want to give up, so I tried to please her in every way possible to make her happy."

"But I don't know what's wrong with her. The nicer I am to her, the colder she becomes. In the end, she stopped sending me even a single message. I waited for her for a year!"

"Then the most ridiculous thing happened. I waited so long, and then yesterday's show happened! She humiliated me in front of the whole city!"

She didn't tell me privately, nor did she allow anyone to relay the message; she came in person, embarrassing me in front of everyone!

His voice grew louder and louder until it was almost a shout.

"She just wants everyone to know that she, Tantai Qingxue, looks down on me! I, Li Fei, am not good enough for her!"

He stood up abruptly, his chest heaving violently, his fists clenched tightly.

"Tantai Qingxue, how could there be such a disgusting woman as you!"

As Li Fei spoke, he ran straight to the wall and started banging his head against it.

Lu Chen waited for him to calm down for a while before slowly speaking.

There's something I need to tell you.

Li Fei raised his head, his face bruised and swollen.

"Tantai Qingxue came to my house last night."

Li Fei's eyes widened suddenly.

"She said she's interested in me." Lu Chen looked at him with a helpless expression.

"Isn't this ridiculous? I only met her once, and we barely exchanged a few words. What is she interested in about me? I suspect she's doing this on purpose, trying to drive a wedge between us brothers, and then..."

Lu Chen didn't say anything more because his purpose was to inform Li Fei and prove that he and Li Fei were on the same side. Otherwise, he might be entangled with Tantai Qingxue in the future, which could cause unnecessary misunderstandings.

He was already terrified of Lin Tian, ​​so this was called taking precautions.

Upon hearing this, Li Fei was stunned for a moment, then his face changed from red to white, from white to green, and from green to purple.

Lu Chen, watching from the side, clicked his tongue in amazement. No wonder he was a supporting character with the template of a protagonist.

"Did she really say that?"

"Of course! She's in my house right now, and I can't even go home! Don't you think she's crazy?"

Li Fei was silent for three seconds, then suddenly slammed his fist on the stone table in the courtyard, and the stone table cracked open.

"You slut! You're such a slut!"

"Not content with humiliating me, you're now trying to sow discord between me and Brother Lu. You're utterly shameless!"

When Li Fei uttered these words, they were filled with overwhelming hatred.

Lu Chen opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but Li Fei raised his hand and stopped him.

"Brother Lu, you have to help me with this!"

"Um?"

"Just tell me what you need, as long as it's within my power!"

"Your analysis was correct; she's here to sow discord among us. However, she overlooked one thing: my complete trust in Brother Lu!"

"What exactly are you trying to say?" Lu Chen had a bad feeling.

"Since she's trying to seduce you, why don't you let her have her way? This gift has been delivered right to your door, Brother Lu, just accept it. I've already cut ties with her completely! Don't worry about my feelings!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Chen turned and left.

Sometimes he really wanted to call the police.

I wanted to report it last night, and I want to report it again now.
