Chapter 78
“Quick, quick, give it to me!” Ye Junlin said anxiously, reaching out his hand as if he wanted something.
An Miaoyi’s delicate face flushed bright red, her head spinning.
As the daughter of the Wendaozong Sect Master, she had seen countless talented young men trying every trick and tactic since childhood, all to win her favor.
But a straightforward boy like Ye Junlin, who cut straight to the chase like tonight, was a first for her!
Even though she was drawn in by Ye Junlin’s flute playing and found his handsome appearance a bit charming, she thought it was overly reckless to make such a request right after they met.
It kind of ruined her impression of him!
In her thoughts, An Miaoyi pushed away the silver-haired young man in front of her and shook her head, saying, “This young master, please show some respect, I’m not that kind of loose woman!”
Now it was Ye Junlin’s turn to be dumbfounded.
What does that mean?
I just wanted a pen! Is it necessary to be so serious?
“Miss, are you sure you don’t want my autograph?” Ye Junlin asked tentatively.
An Miaoyi froze, her brain racing as she realized she had misinterpreted him.
Suddenly, her face turned even redder, looking like a bright red apple.
But quickly, An Miaoyi composed herself and asked with a hint of confusion, “Why would I want your autograph? Are you famous in the Eastern Domain?”
Ye Junlin was caught off guard; so this girl didn’t recognize him!
“Your flute playing is beautiful, you’re obviously a musician, so you must be quite famous locally, but I’ve never seen you before. I was just drawn in by your flute melody, so I took the liberty to visit.” An Miaoyi explained.
Ye Junlin felt a little awkward, “Oh, I see. I was too presumptuous.”
“But since we’ve met, we must be fated. I’m An Miaoyi, a local from Gongzhou. May I ask what this young master’s name is?” An Miaoyi said gracefully, giving a polite bow.
“Hello, Miss An. I’m Ye… Ye Fan!” Ye Junlin paused for a moment and continued, “From the Arid Province!”
Ye Junlin had a hunch that with the Medicine King Valley gathering heroes from all over the world, those impostors would definitely seize the opportunity to make a big move again. So he decided to conceal his true identity for now to avoid unnecessary complications and prevent news from leaking out!
“You’re from the Arid Province?” An Miaoyi’s beautiful eyes widened as she gently covered her lips.
“Yeah, what’s up?”
“Master Ye, to be honest, I have a pretty bad impression of the Arid Province. My elders always said it’s a backward and barren place, the least impressive Dao Province in the Eastern Domain. It’s surprising if they even produce a Transformation Stage cultivator.” An Miaoyi said candidly.
Ye Junlin wasn’t offended and nodded, “That’s true.”
Back in the day, even a Nascent Soul could stroll through the Arid Province, let alone a Transformation Stage.
“But now, with the emergence of the Xuantian Sect, my perception of the Arid Province has completely changed! I suddenly realized it’s a seriously underrated place!” An Miaoyi remarked.
Ye Junlin smiled, “So, your impression of the Arid Province has improved?”
“No, it got worse!”
“What?!”
Ye Junlin was stunned.
An Miaoyi placed her hands on her hips, angrily saying, “The peak master of Mysterious Peak, Ye Junlin, relies on his profound cultivation to commit all kinds of evil. Recently, he even brought his disciples to Wuzhou to rob cultivators from all sides, and even I and Uncle Fan have become victims. A dignified Virtual Immortal at the Crossing Tribulation stage actually does such despicable things; it’s truly a disgrace to the Eastern Domain’s cultivation world!”
“Ahem,”
Ye Junlin cleared his throat and said solemnly, “Miss An, I think there must be some misunderstanding here. In the eyes of us Arid Province people, Ye Junlin is a one-of-a-kind perfect man!”
“Not only is he powerful, but his character is also exemplary, and he has a face that’s so stunningly good-looking it’s almost explosive. Even I, as a man, was almost mesmerized when I saw him!”
“You’d think a man so excellent could do something to tarnish his reputation? No way, no way!”
Upon hearing this,
An Miaoyi looked at the silver-haired young man in front of her with a strange expression.
If she hadn’t seen Ye Junlin with her own eyes, she might have actually been fooled!
She definitely believed in his strength, but as for his character and looks, An Miaoyi scoffed at that.
“Master Ye, there’s no one else here; you can be honest with me. Don’t worry about your words leaking out and attracting the revenge of the white-haired old devil.” An Miaoyi’s beautiful eyes sparkled as she spoke earnestly.
Ye Junlin twitched the corner of his mouth, “Miss An, your imagination is quite vivid.”
“Ah, judging by Master Ye’s performance, it proves just how vicious that white-haired old devil is; he uses cruel means to oppress the people of the Arid Province, forcing you to speak nonsense. In reality, your fear of the white-haired old devil has seeped into your bones, and you must live very painfully, right?”
“Don’t be afraid. Justice will eventually triumph over evil. I will work hard to cultivate and become stronger, then take the life of the white-haired old devil and save the suffering people of the Arid Province!”
An Miaoyi waved her fist, looking indignant.
Ye Junlin: “…”
He realized that this girl was full of hatred for Ye Junlin but had a lot of sympathy for him!
An Miaoyi frowned, “Master Ye, what kind of expression is that? Am I not right?”
“Right, right, right!”
Ye Junlin gave a thumbs-up, “Go for it! I have high hopes for you to defeat Ye Junlin and save the Arid Province!”
“I will!” An Miaoyi nodded heavily, not the least bit aware that there might be something off about this.
Ye Junlin: “Hehe.”
“By the way, Master Ye, you should be careful. This inn was attacked…” An Miaoyi hadn’t finished her sentence when she sensed something, quickly opened the door, and stepped outside. “Uncle Fan, I’m over here!”
Swish.
Fan Dezhen rushed over, looking serious. “Miss, what are you doing here? Didn’t I tell you to stay in your room?”
An Miaoyi rubbed her face a bit sheepishly and said, “I just heard someone playing the flute, and I thought the melody was beautiful, so I followed the sound here.”
“Wait, are you saying you found the owner of the flute?” Fan Dezhen’s eyes lit up with excitement.
This was a genuine powerhouse who could solve the crisis of the entire inn!
