Chapter 1442 - 1419: Why Does He Look Like He Needs a Beating?
"Little sister, do you know that Ye Huan well?" In the preparation area, Ling Zhiyuan sat on the bench, opened his fan and fanned himself twice, asking with a frown."Not very well, but cousin, you’d better not underestimate him, or you might regret it."
Ling Fufu drew the Blue Rose Sword, which constantly emitted a cold aura, from its sheath, took out a blue handkerchief from her pocket, and began to wipe away the dried blood on the sword.
Seeing this, Ling Zhiyuan’s brow slightly furrowed, "Cousin, did you lend out your sword to someone else?"
"Hmm?" Ling Fufu was momentarily stunned, surprised, "I lent it to Ye Huan for a moment at Wuya Peak yesterday, how did you notice?"
"There’s another person’s fingerprints on the hilt!"
Ling Zhiyuan couldn’t suppress his frustration, pointing at the hilt of the Blue Rose Sword, where there was a faint and transparent mark that an ordinary person couldn’t see without bringing it close to their eyes.
Yet he could spot that trace from over ten meters away.
This was enough to show that Ling Zhiyuan’s powers of observation were exceptional!
Indeed, as the only offspring of a collateral branch among the seven core disciples of the Ling Family’s generation, Ling Zhiyuan’s talent and strength were far beyond ordinary people, or even ordinary Ancient Martial Artists.
"Oh, so that’s how it is." Ling Fufu nodded, not showing much reaction, and continued to wipe the blade. That strand of blood was left by Ye Huan when he slew someone from the Qin Family alliance, and she hadn’t used the weapon in the past two days, so she forgot to clean it.
"Fufu, how can you do this!"
Suddenly, for some unknown reason, Ling Zhiyuan erupted angrily.
His eyes widened, "The Blue Rose Sword, crafted by Divine Level craftsmen tailored for you, required significant financial and material resources from the family, how can you lend such a personal weapon to another man so casually? Moreover, Fufu, don’t be deceived by Ye Huan. Sometimes seeing isn’t believing, stop speaking well of other men, will you?"
"I suppose you subconsciously believed that Ye Huan must rely on his own formidable strength to achieve such an astonishing feat after witnessing him singlehandedly sweep through the Qin Family alliance at Wuya Peak, right?"
"But that’s just a subconscious view, how do you know whether he used forbidden drugs or not?!"
Ling Zhiyuan almost lost his voice, speaking loudly, and realizing he’d lost his composure, he quickly forced himself to calm down and resumed his elegant demeanor, with a face full of earnestness, "Fufu, I know Ye Huan used his accidentally obtained extreme Yang aura to save you once, and you’re grateful to him, but that’s not a reason to blindly trust his strength. You have to be vigilant or else you might be fooled by deceitful people."
"Enough, I don’t want to listen to your nonsense anymore! Anyway, I’ve already warned you not to underestimate Ye Huan, whether you listen or not is your business, it has nothing to do with me!"
From an early age, Ling Fufu was quite indifferent towards men.
Even towards her male cousins, her attitude always remained quite unassuming.
Today, she broke her principles by going to the extra effort of warning them not to underestimate Ye Huan.
If these people ignore her warning and believe rumors instead, then if they suffer consequences, it would have nothing to do with her.
Moreover, regardless of anything, Ye Huan is the person who saved her life.
Being looked down upon and slandered by rumors about her lifesaver, Ling Fufu was quite displeased.
Consequently, she became even more displeased with these rumor-spreading cousins.
With a cold expression, Ling Fufu distanced herself over ten meters from Ling Zhiyuan.
This caused a hint of shame and anger to flash at the bottom of Ling Zhiyuan’s eyes.
The next thing that happened turned Ling Zhiyuan’s eyes blood red and his whole face was filled with "anger"!
"Ye Huan, you’ve arrived."
Ling Fufu, after wiping the blade, sheathed the long sword, glanced around, and seeing a man and two women walking into the preparation area, she greeted them with a mild smile.
The trio was Ye Huan, Ye Bingning, and Ling Luzhou.
Ye Huan smiled and nodded in greeting.
"Good luck with today’s test. Also, come to think of it, you’re a year younger than me, so should I call you Cousin Ye Huan?" Ling Fufu blinked and asked, feeling that having such an extraordinarily talented cousin was something to be proud of and boasting about.
Ye Huan’s face turned dark, a bit speechless, "I think the normal address is fine."
"Yes, normal address, no need to call ’cousin’." Ling Luzhou agreed, then with a playful smile, added in his heart: "Calling ’cousin’ now would only require time to adjust to an address a hundred times closer than ’cousin’ later, wouldn’t that be redundant?"
"Indeed, a normal address! Fufu, this guy hasn’t returned to the Ling Family, and this useless guy doesn’t even have the qualifications to return to the Ling Family. Why are you calling him cousin so affectionately, it would easily cause misunderstandings!" Ling Zhiyuan came over and suddenly cut in, casting a venomous glance at Ye Huan.
Ye Huan raised an eyebrow, where did this guy come from, why does he look like he’s asking for a beating?
