Chapter 123 Mask
"Bingbing, we..."
The eldest prince did not give up and wanted to continue persuading Huang Ningbing, but just as he opened his mouth.
"Senior Sister Huang? Wow! It's really you, oh my."
A sudden voice rang out again, interrupting the eldest prince. The voice was particularly piercing in the tense atmosphere, causing the eldest prince to frown slightly, a hint of displeasure flashing in his eyes.
"Lin...Lin Chuan?"
A hint of surprise flashed in Huang Ningbing's eyes. Her expression, which was originally tense due to anger and helplessness, eased a little when she saw Lin Chuan appear.
"Do you know?"
The eldest prince's frown deepened, his eyes filled with displeasure and vigilance. He had never imagined that this unexpected Lin Chuan actually knew Huang Ningbing. This was quite unexpected, and he had a vague feeling that Lin Chuan might ruin his plan. He glanced back and forth between the two, waiting for their answers.
"He is my Taoist partner in the Qingluan Holy Land!"
In a moment of desperation, Huang Ningbing clung to Lin Chuan's arm, as if grasping a lifeline. She then glared at him frantically, her eyes filled with anxiety and suggestion.
Lin Chuan: "..."
He originally wanted to go up and give the eldest prince a few "swoosh" hits to drive him away, but Huang Ningbing suddenly did this, disrupting his rhythm.
With Lin Chuan's arrival, the streets instantly became busier, with crowds of onlookers filling the streets. After all, compared to the somewhat clichéd love-hate relationship between the runaway girl and the prince, this emotional drama involving the sudden appearance of a third party was the most interesting and piqued everyone's curiosity.
"I wonder what this brother's background is? Don't overthink it. I'm just worried that he can't give Bingbing the happiness she wants."
The eldest prince suppressed his displeasure and spoke with a forced smile, but his eyes were like knives scraping back and forth on Lin Chuan. His seemingly concerned words actually concealed a hint of threat and temptation.
"Ahem, I don't have much of a background. I only have a master who is the master of Ren Tianjian Peak and a senior sister who is the master of Ren Fengtian Pavilion." Lin Chuan cleared his throat and looked embarrassed.
The eldest prince: "..."
"So you're Master Xu Feng's beloved disciple. My apologies for your insolence."
The eldest prince's face was instantly filled with a seemingly polite smile, but the smile did not reach his eyes, and his eyes still revealed a hint of unwillingness and anger.
"I know you're only standing up out of friendship, but Bingbing and I are already engaged. I hope you can understand. After all, the Holy Son of the Canglong Holy Land is waiting to drink at our wedding."
The eldest prince brought out the Holy Son of the Canglong Holy Land. After all, a favored child of heaven like Lin Chuan was no longer comparable to the prince of his small dynasty.
"Oh? Then call him over. I want to see how he drinks your wedding wine." Lin Chuan's mouth corners slightly raised, and there was a hint of fearless provocation in his eyes.
"Since you're so stubborn, don't blame me. I simply don't believe that a Peak Master's disciple like you can compare to the nobility of the Holy Land's Son!"
The eldest prince's face darkened, and the anger in his eyes could no longer be concealed. He then crushed a crimson bead.
"Lin Chuan, thank you for helping me. I'm sorry to have caused you any trouble. But this isn't the territory of the Qingluan Holy Land after all. You should leave now before the Holy Son of the Canglong Holy Land arrives!"
Huang Ningbing looked at Lin Chuan with worry, her eyes filled with gratitude and guilt. She knew that this matter was caused by her, and now the situation was becoming increasingly complicated and difficult. She really didn't want to implicate Lin Chuan, and she just hoped that he could get out of this situation quickly and stay away from the greater trouble that was about to come.
"How can I leave if Senior Sister Huang won't let go of my hand?" Lin Chuan looked helplessly at Huang Ningbing who was still holding his arm tightly.
"Ah? I... I forgot..."
Huang Ningbing finally came back to her senses, her pretty face flushed, and she quickly let go of his hand, her eyes still filled with worry and reluctance. She hoped that Lin Chuan could leave safely and quickly, but she was also really afraid that she would have to face the unknown troubles alone. She was a little at a loss for a moment.
"It's okay, don't worry. Senior Sister Huang never despised my ignorance before and patiently explained my doubts to me. No matter what you say now, I won't abandon you."
Lin Chuan looked at Huang Ningbing firmly with a gentle smile on his face.
"But……"
Huang Ningbing wanted to say something else but was interrupted by Lin Chuan.
"Senior Sister Huang, don't forget, I defeated Di Lin in the Holy Land Competition." Lin Chuan raised the corners of his mouth and said with a confident smile.
"But...I heard that wasn't the inside story?"
Huang Ningbing frowned slightly, a hint of doubt and worry in her eyes. Although she knew that Lin Chuan had defeated Di Lin in the Holy Land Competition, she had also heard some rumors about the inside story of that competition.
Lin Chuan: "..."
"When I become successful in my cultivation in the future, I will definitely open a police station in the world of immortal cultivation to catch those who spread rumors every day!" Lin Chuan thought hatefully in his heart.
"Thank you...thank you."
Seeing that Lin Chuan remained silent, Huang Ningbing thought that he acknowledged the truth of the rumors, but was still willing to accompany her through thick and thin. Her heart was suddenly filled with emotion.
"This couple of bitches!"
The eldest prince, standing by like a clown, watched the two of them whispering to each other in front of him, their affectionate expressions. The jealous rage in his heart threatened to consume him. He clenched his fists so tightly that his nails were almost digging into his palms, but he could do nothing but stare blankly, glaring fiercely at Lin Chuan and Huang Ningbing.
"Uncle, is this your mask? I just found it next to you."
A little boy came over, holding a clown mask in his hand, and asked the furious eldest prince who was standing beside him.
"roll!"
If there weren't so many people here and the eldest prince was afraid of the impact on his reputation, he would have drawn his sword and killed this little boy who didn't know how to read people's expressions.
"Woo woo woo, sister, someone scolded me."
The little boy ran straight into the crowd and burst into tears in front of a purple-haired girl wearing a veil.
"Be good, little brother. I'll go and teach him a lesson for you. Go back to your mother first, or she'll be worried if she can't find you."
The purple-haired girl patted the little boy's head and comforted him softly.
"Come on, sister, help me teach him a lesson!" After saying that, the little boy ran away.
After the little boy disappeared, the purple-haired girl smoothed down her slightly messy hair and slowly left the crowd of onlookers. With graceful steps, she walked towards the eldest prince. However, her beautiful eyes, seemingly focused on the direction she was heading, seemed to have a sense of their own, always vaguely fixed on Lin Chuan.
"Baizhi?"
Seeing the person coming, Lin Chuan's pupils shrank and his heart was instantly in turmoil. He never expected to see Bai Zhi here.
"I thought you would pretend not to know me."
Bai Zhi's lips curled slightly in a faint smile. Her purple eyes were like mysterious and deep purple gemstones, reflecting a charming brilliance in the sunlight, but her eyes revealed an elusive emotion, like a tease, but also a hint of unspeakable resentment. She stared straight at Lin Chuan.
