Chen Tianwen also has a younger sister, so if he put himself in Qin Yuan's shoes, Qin Yuan's behavior would be understandable.
Qin Yuan's self-control is actually quite good; if it were Chen Tianwen, he probably would have taken action immediately.
Qin Zhiruo realized her earlier lapse in composure and, blushing, released Chen Tianwen.
Chen Tianwen coughed awkwardly twice, and Qin Yuan took the opportunity to pull Qin Zhiruo to his side and said:
"Zhiruo, Young Master Chen is so young, yet he has become the city lord of a city. He is truly a remarkable young man!"
Qin Yuan was testing Chen Tianwen's purpose in approaching Qin Zhiruo!
Qin Yuan was well aware of Qin Zhiruo's temperament. Although she was exceptionally strong, she was devoted to cultivation and rarely interacted with others.
Therefore, Qin Yuan was afraid that Qin Zhiruo would be deceived by him.
Moreover, Qin Yuan also realized that Chen Tianwen only had the strength of the early stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal. To be honest, this level of cultivation was not good enough for his sister.
Qin Zhiruo glanced at Qin Yuan and said:
"Of course, Tianwen is not only the city lord, but also..."
Qin Zhiruo was interrupted by Qin Yuan before she could finish speaking. Qin Yuan glared at Chen Tianwen and exuded his aura.
For no other reason than that, while Qin Zhiruo was speaking, Qin Yuan was also staring intently at Chen Tianwen. When Qin Yuan's gaze fell on the jade pendant around Chen Tianwen's neck, he was instantly filled with rage!
Qin Yuan knew what the jade pendant represented, of course. He couldn't believe that Qin Zhiruo would give away such an important jade pendant in just a few days. Chen Tianwen, you're not simple!
Qin Yuan's sudden outburst caught Chen Tianwen and Qin Zhiruo off guard, leaving them wondering why Qin Yuan would act this way when everything seemed fine.
Chen Tianwen also looked at Qin Yuan warily. Although Qin Yuan had the cultivation of a Great Luo Golden Immortal at the peak, Chen Tianwen was not necessarily afraid of him!
Qin Zhiruo, pulling Qin Yuan along, said anxiously:
"Cousin, what are you doing? Tianwen just rescued us from danger, how could you lay a hand on him!"
Qin Yuan shook off Qin Zhiruo's hand, flew into the sky, and roared angrily at Chen Tianwen:
"Chen Tianwen, you're incredibly cunning! You even dared to deceive my sister!"
Chen Tianwen didn't know why Qin Yuan was so angry with him, but Qin Yuan's actions also made Chen Tianwen slightly annoyed.
After all, she had just rescued Qin Yuan, but was treated like this. Anyone would be angry in her shoes.
Chen Tianwen also flew into the air and stood opposite Qin Yuan.
Qin Yuan pointed at Chen Tianwen and said angrily:
"Chen Tianwen, my sister is simple-minded, but that's no excuse for you to deceive her feelings!"
Chen Tianwen was speechless for a moment. When had he deceived Qin Zhiruo's feelings? He was about to explain when Qin Yuan's domain of laws had already unfolded and enveloped Chen Tianwen.
"Celestial Technique, Water Dragon's Roar!"
Qin Yuan also used the same immortal technique as Qin Zhiruo. After all, the two came from the same sect and were from the same family. They both mastered the law of water, so it was not surprising that they used the same immortal technique.
Chen Tianwen was furious when he saw that Qin Yuan wouldn't even give him a chance to explain.
Just because I'm not showing my power doesn't mean I'm easy to bully.
Chen Tianwen watched as the enormous blue water dragon hurtled towards him; its power was even greater than that of the water dragon summoned by Qin Zhiruo.
"Celestial Technique: Silent Golden Fire Lotus!"
Chen Tianwen did not use the Silent Five Elements Lotus. After all, the other party was Qin Zhiruo's cousin. If he made a move now, there must be some misunderstanding. There was no need for him to kill him.
The enormous dark golden lotus affected the blue water dragon, and the two clashed repeatedly in the air. The aftershocks of the battle instantly turned the already chaotic surrounding buildings into dust.
"boom!"
Chen Tianwen's silent golden fire lotus could not withstand the pressure and exploded first. However, Qin Yuan's blue water dragon had also consumed too much energy and dissipated in the air.
In this clash, Chen Tianwen was slightly at a disadvantage. Chen Tianwen was also somewhat surprised. Qin Yuan's strength was indeed impressive. Although he had not used the Silent Five Elements Lotus, the Silent Golden Fire Lotus he had just used, with the enhancement of his domain power, had also reached the level of a Dao-rank immortal technique.
However, they still lost the battle!
Qin Yuan was utterly shocked. Chen Tianwen was only at the early stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, yet after Qin Yuan used his top-tier immortal technique, he was only slightly at a disadvantage and didn't even move an inch. Was this still the combat power of an early stage Great Luo Golden Immortal?
Qin Yuan was about to make another move, but Qin Zhiruo had already flown between the two, blocking Chen Tianwen, and angrily said to Qin Yuan:
"Cousin, if you keep doing this, I'll never call you cousin again!"
At this moment, Qin Zhiruo also remembered that it must have been Qin Yuan who was so angry when he saw the jade pendant around Chen Tianwen's neck.
The usually gentle and refined Qin Yuan suddenly went berserk because someone had touched his sore spot, and Qin Zhiruo was precisely Qin Yuan's sore spot!
Qin Yuan looked at Qin Zhiruo with a hint of disappointment and said earnestly:
"Zhiruo, you know what that jade pendant represents. You've only known each other for less than a few days, how could you do this!"
Qin Zhiruo, her face flushed with both shyness and anger, said to Qin Yuan:
"I've grown up and have the right to choose for myself, and Tianwen is the person I've chosen!"
Chen Tianwen, standing behind Qin Zhiruo, was still confused by what he heard, but he eventually understood that Qin Yuan was angry because of the jade pendant.
Chen Tianwen knew that the jade pendant was made of special materials and must be very valuable, but as a Great Luo Golden Immortal at the peak of his cultivation, wasn't it a bit too stingy of him to spend money on a jade pendant?
But Qin Yuan's next words left Chen Tianwen speechless.
"Zhiruo, even if you choose him, your uncle will not agree to your marriage! Your uncle has already chosen a betrothed for you, and he will marry you after this trip to the secret realm!"
Upon hearing Qin Yuan's words, Qin Zhiruo's eyes turned cold, and she said coldly:
"My marriage is my own choice. And Brother Tianwen is my choice. No one can stop me!"
Qin Yuan shook his head helplessly and withdrew his domain.
Chen Tianwen stared blankly at Qin Zhiruo's retreating figure, his heart filled with turbulent emotions.
What did they just say? A marriage agreement?
Could it be this jade pendant?
Chen Tianwen was not a stupid person, but he had never thought that Qin Zhiruo would have any feelings for him, so he did not think of the meaning of the jade pendant.
Now that I've figured it out, even the reasons why Qin Zhiruo got angry so many times along the way have become clear.
When did this little girl take a liking to me?
Chen Tianwen touched his chin and thought narcissistically:
"My damn charm!"
While Chen Tianwen was still pondering, Qin Zhiruo turned around, took Chen Tianwen's hand, and said to him:
"Brother Tianwen, let's go!"
