What are you talking about, Abao and Abin?

They're all made up.

They deliberately find excuses to get close to me.

Pretending to mistake someone for someone else?

Does she look like your first love?

She'd seen this kind of trick many times before.

[Confession of love rejected, rewarded with a special treasure: Dragon Essence Fruit!]

"Senior sister, are you going to give me some pointers on swordsmanship? I'd be so embarrassed!"

Lu Chen smiled, but was somewhat surprised inside.

Lu Chen didn't care much about the rewards he had received before, even the Innate Sword Body, he treated it very casually.

This time, however, the system added four words to the prompt.

Special treasure?

Lu Chen didn't have time to look at it for the time being.

Because Lan Juan had been teased for so long, she finally couldn't help but want to take out her sword and cut him.

The sound of the sword striking was like thunder.

A sword light shot straight toward Lu Chen's chest.

Lu Chen drew his sword to block.

The two clashed instantly.

The people around immediately stepped back, giving the two enough space.

"Haha, they've started fighting!"

"That brat deserves a beating! He actually dared to flirt with Senior Sister Lan Juan!"

"Do you really think Senior Sister Lan Juan is all talk and no action? She's the most powerful senior sister in the Qi Condensation Realm among our outer disciples!"

"Overestimating yourself!"

However, when the two clashed, everyone was surprised to find that Lu Chen's strength was actually on par with Senior Sister Lan Juan's.

Lu Chen was only at the sixth level of the Qi Condensation Realm.

Lan Juan, however, was at the ninth level of the Qi Condensation Realm.

Despite being three minor realms apart, they were able to fight each other to a standstill!

"Could it be that Senior Sister Lan Juan deliberately showed mercy?"

"That's true. After all, Lu Chen has only just arrived. If he were killed by Senior Sister Lan Juan, it wouldn't be easy to explain!"

"Killing him is not an option, but that brat spoke rudely to Senior Sister Lan Juan. If we cripple him, no one will say anything!"

"..."

Lan Juan had no words to express her suffering.

She wasn't holding back; she was genuinely locked in a stalemate with Lu Chen.

"Senior sister, your sword follows your heart, your mind is in turmoil! Could it be that you've truly fallen in love with me? Why don't we find a place to chat about romance and nature? Why resort to swords and spears?"

Lu Chen almost couldn't help but laugh.

The first step of the plan has been a success!
