Upon hearing this, Lu Chen's lips twitched slightly.
"Then there's no need for that."
Lu Chen thought to himself, what's the point of having so many servants?
It's better to keep them as tools.
Just like Yiyi.
Lu Chen was certain that if he made any confession or said anything nice, even if he didn't have to be sincere, Yi Yi would definitely obey him completely.
Then what's the point of even bothering with that?
"Then why does the master keep pestering her? If he takes her as a servant, he can do whatever he wants."
Yi Yi was completely baffled; she had no idea what Lu Chen was planning.
"Ahem! You've misunderstood. Am I that kind of person? I'm a gentleman."
After saying that, Lu Chen immediately changed the subject and said, "You need to cultivate diligently. I don't want those useless vases. If you're useless to me, you don't need to stay by my side."
Upon hearing this, Yi Yi smiled with pleasure and asked, "Is Master praising Yi Yi's beauty?"
After all, it's just a pretty vase!
A beautiful woman is called a "vase" (a pretty face); an ugly woman is called a "broken pot" (a useless object).
Upon hearing this, Lu Chen couldn't help but take another look. Yi Yi's breathtaking face made it hard to say no.
I have to admit, she is indeed beautiful.
"Enough with the nonsense."
Of course, Lu Chen would never admit it.
The battle between Lu Chen and Murong Xue attracted a great deal of attention. The martial arts arena was located not far from the life-or-death arena, covering a vast area that far exceeded the size of the arena.
This is where the disciples of the Seven Star Hall usually practice and compete; it is built to be extremely sturdy.
This place is usually very crowded.
While cultivation is important, it is even more important to gain enlightenment in battle.
Staying behind closed doors and practicing asceticism may not always be very effective.
The arrival of Lu Chen and his two companions surprised everyone in the martial arts arena, especially the appearance of Murong Xue, which drew everyone's attention.
Let's begin!
Murong Xue arrived at the very center of the training ground, stopped, and turned to face Lu Chen.
She didn't care about the strange looks from the people around her.
Yiyi stepped back and stood behind Lu Chen.
Lu Chen stepped forward, looked at Murong Xue's beautiful face, and said with a smile, "Senior Sister Murong, if you want to spar with me, you can just go to my little courtyard. My courtyard is big and comfortable, why make a fuss?"
"No need!"
Murong Xue glanced around and said calmly, "Today's competition between you and me is not only for mutual learning and progress, but I also want all the junior brothers and sisters present to have a good look. Perhaps it will inspire them! We are all from the same sect and cultivate the same sword path, so there is no need to be so secretive!"
Upon hearing this, everyone around her admired Murong Xue even more.
It's so rare to have such magnanimity and breadth of mind.
"This persona is very solid!"
Lu Chen sighed inwardly. After this battle, regardless of victory or defeat, Murong Xue's prestige in everyone's hearts had increased even more.
What a pity.
Still just a tool.
Lu Chen smiled and said, "Senior Sister's heart is truly broad and generous. I admire her greatly. I wonder if Senior Sister Murong has someone she likes? What do you think of me?"
Upon hearing this, everyone present changed color.
All eyes were fixed on Lu Chen.
"This kid is so shameless!"
"So you're the only one who likes Senior Sister Murong? Every single guy here, if he doesn't, does?"
"I'm a girl, and I also admire Senior Sister Murong's character. Is that not allowed?"
"A toad trying to eat swan meat?!"
"You dare to try and steal Senior Sister Murong from me? You're just a piece of trash at the ninth level of the Qi Condensation Realm, you think you're worthy?"
"..."
Murong Xue laughed instead.
"Does this little guy think that saying these things before the battle will shake my resolve and allow him to find a weakness in my attack?"
Thinking this to herself, she glanced at Yiyi behind Lu Chen, her expression indifferent, but she smiled and said, "Forget about you, but don't you already have someone you like?"
Everyone followed her gaze and looked at Yiyi.
No one knew the name of the man in black robes, but seeing Yiyi's attitude towards Lu Chen at this moment, and recalling what had happened between them, they finally understood.
Lu Chen actually managed to win over this black-robed beauty.
The thought of this evoked a mixture of envy and disgust in everyone.
I envy him for having such good fortune with women.
She disliked him, yet he was still not satisfied and still longed for Murong Xue.
This is outrageous!
[Confession of love rejected, reward: one Heavenly Soul Pill!]
Lu Chen smiled. He had just asked for this Heavenly Soul Pill, which should be useful for Yi Yi's insects.
He didn't bother with the resentful stares of the onlookers and said unhurriedly, "My ideal woman is you, Senior Sister! If you nod your head, I'm yours. What's the point of fighting?"
"You'd better shut up!"
Murong Xue was truly exasperated and didn't want to waste any more words with him. She said loudly, "I will suppress my power to the same level as yours! Draw your sword!"
Suddenly, a cyan longsword appeared out of thin air in Murong Xue's hand.
This is a black iron sword.
Since it's just a friendly spar, there's no need to go all out. Murong Xue also possesses a low-grade spiritual weapon.
Lu Chen was rejected once again.
[Confession of love rejected, rewarded with a low-grade spiritual artifact, Heavenly Maiden Scattering Flowers!]
Heavenly Maiden Scattering Flowers: A mid-grade spiritual weapon of the hidden weapon category. It consists of 108 petals combined to form a lotus flower, which can be freely combined or scattered for attack.
