Chapter Seventy: Revisiting the Lakeside Pavilion

A cool breeze caressed his face and tousled his hair. Standing in the small pavilion in the middle of the lake, Su Yang gazed at the boundless lake, lost in thought.

The familiar pavilion in the middle of the lake.

As they were passing by, Lin Fan suddenly suggested that they come in and sit down, and he couldn't refuse.

Walking to the lakeside, he reached out and brushed his hand across the water's surface, gazing at the shimmering reflections. One can only imagine the complex emotions Su Yang felt.

Why do I always like to come here?

Standing to the side, watching Su Yang play in the water, Lin Fan's heart was pounding.

He didn't know why, but being with Brother Yang at this moment gave him a different feeling.

Even though it's just the two of them on ordinary days, standing in this pavilion in the middle of the lake feels different.

"Thanks."

With her delicate hands, Su Yang gently stirred the surface of the lake, creating ripples.

Lin Fan understood Su Yang's meaning from this sudden thank you.

She smiled and replied, "As long as it helps you, that's good enough."

The voices all seemed exceptionally gentle.

Su Yang fell silent, his hand movements halting.

Then he shook his head: "No matter what, the fact that you helped me back then is enough for me to thank you."

After speaking, Su Yang stood up, then looked seriously at the handsome man and continued, "If you ever encounter any trouble in the future, you can tell me, and I will help you."

At this moment, Su Yang spoke earnestly, and the determination in his eyes left Lin Fan at a loss for what to do.

He helped the other person, not so that they would thank him.

But Lin Fan remained silent.

Su Yang could only follow along, saying, "You're not speaking, which means you look down on my meager strength. Well, with such a powerful figure helping you, you probably don't think much of me either."

As he said this, Su Yang's voice carried a hint of self-mockery, and even his eyes dimmed slightly.

This expression suggests a sense of disappointment due to a perceived lack of ability.

"That's not true!" Lin Fan said urgently.

He seemed to suddenly understand something, grabbed Su Yang's arm with both hands, and looked into the clear, bright eyes of the person in front of him.

He said seriously, "I'm helping you not because I want you to thank me, nor because I want you to feel indebted to me. I just can't bear to see you in trouble!"

At this point, Lin Fan paused, but looking into Su Yang's eyes, he gritted his teeth and said again, "Brother Yang! I only want to protect you, that's why I'm helping you! Do you understand?"

Lin Fan spoke loudly, and the sincerity in his voice shook Su Yang to his core!

He seemed surprised that the other party would think this way.

Her eyes first showed shock, then became somewhat evasive, and finally she directly brushed away the other person's hands, walked past him, and turned her back to him, not daring to look at him!

"What are you talking about?! I don't understand!"

Her voice was filled with panic, and even more so with a hint of barely perceptible shyness!

With his back to Lin Fan, he pressed his hands to his chest, as if only this could calm him down! Su Yang continued.

"In that case, it's best not to say it again in the future."

I am a man, and you are a man too. If others hear this, it could easily be misunderstood. I only said these things today because I respect you as a friend. Our relationship is just that of ordinary brothers.

Su Yang said repeatedly, seemingly wanting to directly deny Lin Fan's intentions at this moment!

But how could Lin Fan be willing to accept this?

After hearing Su Yang's words, she was furious; he was serious!

What brotherhood? It's nothing like brotherhood!

He took a step forward and stood directly in front of Su Yang, staring at him with a determined yet angry look in his eyes.

Ignoring Su Yang's evasive gaze, she said loudly, "Brother Yang, I know you are a woman! In fact, I knew it a long time ago! I just pretended not to know!"

Therefore, I don't feel any brotherly affection for you at all, and I don't believe you don't have any other feelings for me!

If you truly only see me as a brother, then look me straight in the eye right now and tell me that you only see me as a friend! Absolutely no other feelings whatsoever!

At this moment, Lin Fan was extremely serious, forcefully grabbing Su Yang's arm to prevent him from struggling to break free.

(The author also doesn't know why someone in the Innate Realm can't break free from the Body Tempering Realm.)

Su Yang stared at Lin Fan in shock, disbelief flashing in his eyes.

When did you find out?

Upon being discovered in his true form, Su Yang exclaimed in surprise, but he couldn't care less about what Lin Fan said next.

Being stared at like that by his beloved, Su Yang was utterly shocked.

At this moment, Lin Fan felt a strange sense of pleasure!

This is the advantage brought about by information asymmetry!

“I knew it a long time ago, from the first time we met!”

Feeling secretly pleased, Lin Fan also told a little lie!

"you!"

Su Yang was furious at this moment. He pointed at Lin Fan with a look that was as if he had been exposed for his secret!

Grasping Su Yang's hand, Lin Fan explained, "Brother Yang, I didn't mean to do this. It's just that you've been hiding yourself, and I haven't had a chance to tell you!"

I absolutely did not take advantage of knowing you are a woman to deliberately approach you or take advantage of you!

With clear and sincere eyes, Lin Fan, as the protagonist, is actually of good character, and every word he says comes from the bottom of his heart.

Unfortunately, Su Yang refused!

He pulled his hand away and then swung it!

Although with his current cultivation level, he could definitely blow Lin Fan's head off in one blow, he suppressed that thought.

Because protagonists like Lin Fan, who possess the soul of a powerful being, all have a unique skill!

Then let the spirit possess you!

If he dares to take this opportunity to kill Lin Fan, he will only put himself in a dangerous and desperate situation!
