Lin Shanhe is not only powerful but also handsome.
However, he was despised by many people, which was precisely Lin Shanhe's strange hobby.
Lin Shanhe was quite dissolute and never refused any woman who came his way.
After each time he made love to a woman, he would collect her scent.
The fragrance emanating from Lin Shanhe suggests that he is a seasoned veteran.
With her beautiful appearance, good figure, and gentle personality, Shen Ruke naturally became one of his targets.
Compared to Long Zhongwang's domineering style, Lin Shanhe is more methodical.
"Long Zhongwang, you have absolutely no sense of romance. Junior Sister Shen has said she doesn't like you, yet you're still clinging to her like this. That will only make Junior Sister Shen dislike you even more."
Lin Shanhe smiled, waving his fan.
"I, Long, need you to manage what I do."
Long Zhongwang said coldly.
"I didn't interfere in your business. I just wanted to come and help Miss Chen. It's really unpleasant to be bothered by someone as unromantic as you."
Lin Shanhe approached Shen Ruke and said, “Miss Shen, am I right? Don’t pay any attention to this roughneck. I’ve recently discovered a really fun place. If you’re so kind as to come with me, Miss Shen, you can do so.”
"Lin Shanhe, what do you mean by this!"
Long Zhongwang angrily said, "Miss Shen is the woman I have my eye on."
"Just because you like something doesn't mean it has to be yours. I could say I'm the one who's taken a liking to it."
Lin Shanhe showed no intention of backing down.
"It seems you'd like to have a proper competition with me today."
Long Zhongwang said coldly.
“Sure, I’d like to see if you’re just bragging when you fight the Daoist disciple of the Taichu Dao Sect to a standstill.”
Lin Shanhe was not afraid at all.
“Let’s find another place to fight. Whoever wins can go out with Junior Sister Shen.”
"It's a deal."
The two sides were on the verge of a fight, looking ready to come to blows at any moment.
"Wait a minute, your competition is your business and has nothing to do with me. If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving."
Shen Ruke stood up and was about to walk outside.
“Junior Sister Shen, you can’t leave. This happened because of you, and you can’t just walk away.”
Long Zhongwang and Lin Shanhe blocked Shen Ruke's way.
"What do you two mean? You really think the Life Dao Sect is your own home?"
Shen Ruke's eyebrows furrowed slightly.
"We're just having Junior Sister Shen act as a witness. Whoever wins gets to pursue you, and the other one has to step aside."
Long Zhongwang remains as domineering as ever.
"I've repeated myself several times, I'm really not interested in whether you win or lose."
Shen Ruke said angrily.
"This is not up to you, Junior Sister. Our conflict started because of you. Now that we are about to have a match, you are thinking of running away. This is something we cannot tolerate."
Lin Shanhe shared the same opinion.
The two acted very boldly, restricting Shen Ruke's personal freedom within the Life Dao Sect.
However, both of them had their own confidence and were not very afraid of Sect Master Shen Tianlong.
The Life Dao Sect is an ancient sect with a complex web of intertwined factions.
Shen Tianlong is the sect leader of the Life Dao Sect, but he cannot completely control the sect's will.
There are many Supreme Elders in the Life Dao Sect, and they wield considerable power within the sect.
Many of Shen Tianlong's major decisions require the approval of the Supreme Elders.
If some decisions are opposed by many of the Supreme Elders, Shen Tianlong has no choice but to abandon them.
Both Lin Shanhe and Long Zhongwang's masters were Supreme Elders within the sect.
With the support of their families, the two wouldn't face much punishment even if they offended Shen Tianlong.
The power of the Long family behind Long Zhongwang is in no way inferior to that of the Lin family.
"I never imagined that I would be threatened by someone in the Life Dao Sect one day."
Even with her good temper, Shen Ruke couldn't help but get angry: "How about this, you two have a match first, and whoever wins can then compete with me. If you lose, you can stop bothering me in the future. What do you think?"
She was confident in her own abilities and felt she could easily defeat Long Zhongwang and Lin Shanhe.
Are you sure?
Long Zhongwang said, "I won't care if you're a woman in the training ground. Don't blame me if I hurt you."
"I, Lin, am a man who cherishes women, but in order to win over Junior Sister Shen, I have no choice but to make an exception this time."
Lin Shanhe sighed.
"Don't pretend to be sympathetic. I know what kind of person you are."
Shen Ruke looked disgusted.
He disliked Lin Shanhe more than Long Zhongwang.
Lin Shanhe's kind of fetish was utterly disgusting to Shen Ruke.
“I forgot something. Junior Sister Shen only said that she won and told us not to bother her anymore. You didn’t say what would happen if she lost?” Lin Shanhe said.
"I lost. Can I go out with you guys?" Shen Ruke said.
"Just accompanying me isn't enough. How about we have a life-or-death duel? Whoever wins will fight you, and if Junior Sister Shen loses, she'll become this person's Daoist partner. What do you say?"
Long Zhongwang spoke decisively.
He felt that pursuing Chen Ruke was already a great favor.
Shen Ruke's repeated rejections had already made Long Zhongwang a little angry.
Long Zhongwang felt that with his own strength, defeating the two of them would be too easy.
"I think that's fine too. In a life-or-death battle, the stakes naturally have to be higher."
Lin Shanhe nodded in agreement.
He had long wanted to have Shen Ruke, so that he could collect the fragrance of a woman.
Since Long Zhongwang had said so, Lin Shanhe naturally went along with it.
"You guys are really going too far."
Shen Ruke said angrily.
It wasn't that she lacked confidence in herself, but rather that she felt Lin Shanhe and Long Zhongwang were too domineering.
A large crowd had already gathered around the three of them, but they dared not speak out against Lin Shanhe and Long Zhongwang's actions.
Shen Ruke is gentle and kind-hearted, and has done many good deeds.
She would always lend a helping hand when she encountered disciples with higher cultivation levels bullying those with lower cultivation levels.
There are also some injustices that Shen Ruke will help with if she sees them.
Within the Daoist sect of life, Shen Ruke has always been quite beloved.
If the people in front of them weren't Lin Shanhe and Long Zhongwang, someone would have already come out to stop them.
"It's settled then. Now let's go to the martial arts arena for a contest, and whoever wins will win the heart of the beauty," Lin Shanhe said.
"Okay, let's go now."
Long Zhongwang nodded in agreement.
"Please, Junior Sister Shen."
Lin Shanhe was afraid that Shen Ruke would run away, so he told Shen Ruke to go first.
Shen Ruke was furious; these two were just too domineering.
"I'll show you what kind of man is good enough for you."
Long Zhongwang said with great confidence.
"I'm truly speechless."
"Shen Ruke said helplessly."
"I originally wanted to go out and have some fun, but I didn't expect to see this scene. Your behavior is too awful."
Han Feng walked into the pavilion and came to the two people: "Everyone else has said they don't want to, but you keep forcing them. I've seen shameless people, but I've never seen anyone as shameless as you."
