Under the starry night sky, the entire divine realm had fallen into slumber, with only a few solitary lamps flickering with dim light.
Although they had eaten some food earlier, there was not enough porridge for everyone, so Yin Ming and Ling Yao were not full.
Just then, Long Cheng laid out a table full of food, so the two of them took out their bowls and chopsticks and ate a meal.
Seeing Yin Ming return safely, Long Cheng no longer needed to rely on food to relieve his inner tension, so he generously gave all the food to them.
Long Cheng rested his chin on his hand, looked at Yin Ming, and then at Ling Yao.
He originally wanted to ask Yin Ming why he had previously avoided Ling Yao and even hid in the Divine Realm, but today he was willing to become an enemy of the six elders to save him and even brought him back to the Disciple's Courtyard.
But after seeing Lingyao's features clearly, he realized something and asked in surprise, "Brother Ming, you used the Thousand Faces I gave you on him?"
"Yes, is there a problem?" Yin Ming picked up a piece of lean meat and put it in his mouth, his tone unhurried.
"..." Long Cheng glared at Ling Yao with a hint of resentment. "If I had known it would end up being for him, I wouldn't have traveled all that way to ask my mother for it."
Upon hearing this, Yin Ming raised an eyebrow and swallowed the food in his mouth.
"If I remember correctly, I borrowed it from Senior Liuying and then asked you to get it for me. If you think the meal I treated you to today wasn't enough, I'll treat you to another one tomorrow?"
"That's not what I meant," Long Cheng said, pursing his lips.
"Then what do you mean?" Yin Ming was completely baffled. Was Long Cheng throwing a tantrum?
But if Lingyao dislikes Longcheng because he's jealous of him, then why does Longcheng also dislike Lingyao so much?
Long Cheng isn't the kind of person who likes to hold grudges.
Could it be that Long Cheng also likes Yin Ming, and that's why he's jealous when Ling Yao gets close to him?! No way! What has Yin Ming done to deserve this?!
So the reason Yin Ming has remained single is because he can only attract women?!
Impossible, absolutely impossible!
Realizing that his thoughts were getting increasingly absurd, Yin Ming shook his head violently. This dry-rice dragon only knew how to eat all day long, how could it possibly understand any emotions?
The truth is definitely not like that; don't scare yourself!
Long Cheng was indeed not in love, but what Yin Ming didn't know was that Ling Yao not only disliked Long Cheng, but had also often secretly tripped up and provoked him.
For example, she would always try to outdo him in everything she did, deliberately create obstacles between him and Yin Ming, and add ingredients he didn't like to his favorite dishes...
Long Cheng can tolerate anything, but he can't tolerate Ling Yao tampering with his food!
It wasn't that he hadn't considered revenge, but Lingyao was indiscriminate in everything and excellent in every aspect. Long Cheng tried several times without success and could only give up in frustration in the end.
Fortunately, Lingyao only occasionally ate Long Cheng's food when Long Cheng frequently came to their house for a free meal; at worst, he could just go less often.
Although Long Cheng gave up retaliating, it doesn't mean he will repay evil with kindness and get along well with the other party.
Therefore, he would never give Lingyao a friendly look, and the two of them grew increasingly disliked each other.
Thinking of this, Long Cheng's dissatisfaction reached its peak. He silently rolled his eyes at Ling Yao, thinking to himself, "I really don't understand why Brother Ming would get so close to someone who is full of scheming."
Lingyao, sitting opposite him, ignored his little actions and continued to eat her food elegantly.
Seeing this, Long Cheng became even angrier, snorted, and turned his head away.
Yin Ming glanced around at the awkward atmosphere between the two and shrugged helplessly.
It seems the only way to liven things up is for him to change the subject and lighten the mood.
This family will fall apart without him.
"Long Cheng, do you know Su Chen?"
Yin Ming remembered that Long Cheng had mentioned visiting the Divine Realm decades ago.
Although it may not be exactly the year the incident occurred, judging from Su Chen's attempt to destroy the sect's protective formation that day and his subsequent pursuit of Chu Yi to the Land of Forsaken Gods, he must have done quite a lot over the years.
Perhaps Long Cheng had overheard some snippets about Su Chen back then.
"Which Su Chen? I don't know." Long Cheng shook his head in confusion, then revealed a curious expression.
"Speaking of which, how did Brother Ming escape from the Forsaken Land? What exactly is inside?"
Not getting the answer he expected, Yin Ming sighed with slight regret. It seemed he would have to ask a more qualified disciple of the Divine Realm another day.
As for Long Chen's question, Yin Ming met the other's inquisitive gaze and recounted everything that had happened in the Land of Forsaken Gods.
Upon hearing the name Chu Yi, Long Cheng's face suddenly showed a thoughtful expression, and then his eyes lit up. "I remember now."
"Back then, there was indeed a young man named Su Chen who was in love with the goddess Chu Yi, but their relationship ended when Chu Yi was sent to the Temple of Prayer for Heaven."
Yes! It's this pair!
Yin Ming immediately perked up and eagerly asked, "What happened after that?"
"Later..." Recalling the stories he had heard gossiped about from the disciples of the Divine Realm, Long Cheng sighed with a touch of melancholy.
He usually forgot about gossip as soon as he heard it, but what this young master Su did later really left a deep impression on him.
