For a moment, a gentle breeze blew.
Lin Chen sat down again, and Tang Yue, suppressing the desire in her heart, looked at Lin Chen and slowly asked, "You are not as simple as you appear on the surface. What are you hiding? Is it your cultivation?"
Lin Chen opened the mineral water bottle cap, took a small sip, and then calmly said, "As you can see... and then?"
Tang Yue smiled gently, a hint of charm in her every expression.
"Is it convenient to tell me what your current cultivation level is? If not, you can choose not to say."
Lin Chen said indifferently, "There's nothing inconvenient about it. I am an Intermediate Mage now. With Teacher Tang Yue's identity, I believe you will keep it a secret for me!"
Upon hearing this, Tang Yue revealed an expression of 'as expected'.
She laughed, "You give people a very sincere feeling, but precisely this sincerity is extremely deceptive. From your words, it seems you already know my identity?"
Lin Chen nodded and said, "Yes, meeting you today, I believe you have also investigated my background. Indeed, although my parents have left me, their connections from before are still there. Some uncles and aunties still take good care of me."
Tang Yue laughed, "You are very smart, with a composure beyond your age, as if everything is under your control. Talking with you is also very comfortable, not at all like talking to a student, but more like talking to a long-lost friend!"
Lin Chen smiled and said, "Teacher Tang Yue, you flatter me too much. Since you've investigated me, you should understand that I am someone who dislikes trouble!"
Tang Yue smiled charmingly, her foxy eyes fixed on Lin Chen, and she laughed, "You are truly very clever. Hearing you say that, I'm afraid my goal today won't be achieved!"
Tang Yue felt a little annoyed in her heart. She had intended to recruit Lin Chen to join the Judgment Association, but Lin Chen was too cunning. He saw through her purpose and indirectly refused her, leaving her no room to speak!
Lin Chen smiled slightly and said, "Teacher Tang Yue, some things don't need to be forced. With your strength as an Intermediate Mage, you can't force it either."
Lin Chen did not want to change anything. Even if he could prevent the Bo City disaster, he could not prevent the Black Vatican from causing disasters in other cities.
Moreover, even if he tried to change it, how many people would believe him?
Upon hearing this, Tang Yue suddenly froze. She said excitedly, "You really know something?"
Lin Chen shook his head and immediately said firmly, "I don't know anything!"
Tang Yue took a deep breath, because she realized that in their conversation, Lin Chen had completely taken control.
Tang Yue, who was somewhat short-tempered, suppressed her inner impulse, remained silent, and stared intently at Lin Chen. If looks could kill, Lin Chen would have been tortured to death by her a thousand times over.
For a moment, the room was quiet, and the atmosphere became tense.
Fortunately, Tang Yue quickly controlled her emotions, took a deep breath, and slowly leaned back on the sofa, rubbing her fair hands together, her gaze wandering, as if considering how to persuade Lin Chen.
But Lin Chen did not want to continue. Their thoughts and positions were different.
Lin Chen wanted peace and quiet, he wanted to accumulate strength, and for his own goals, he could ignore many things he didn't care about.
Whether people called him cold-hearted and ruthless, or selfish, he didn't care. Only when he was strong enough could he protect the people he wanted to protect.
At this moment, he clearly did not have that qualification.
And Tang Yue had her own pursuits, dreams, and persistence, and she worked hard and struggled for them.
Therefore, it was destined that in the short term, the two could not reach a unified agreement.
"Cough cough..."
Lin Chen coughed lightly, and Tang Yue's gaze returned to Lin Chen.
Lin Chen smiled gently and said, "Teacher Tang Yue, you see it's getting late..."
Upon hearing this, Tang Yue, who had just forced herself to calm down, immediately stood up and said angrily, "Then I won't disturb you!"
As she spoke, she took large strides, intending to leave, but just then, her jade foot somehow tripped on the leg of the coffee table.
In an instant, she gasped in surprise and lunged forward.
Just then, a tall figure pulled her into his embrace.
Feeling that things were not developing in the worst possible direction, Tang Yue slightly raised her head, only to see a handsome face with a smile.
At this moment, Tang Yue and Lin Chen were pressed tightly together, and the atmosphere in the room instantly became extremely ambiguous.
Her curvaceous figure and charming face, Tang Yue embodied all the fantasies of a normal man, giving one a strong desire to conquer.
"Buzz..."
Perhaps realizing her current predicament, Tang Yue, who was originally angry and annoyed, now felt only endless shyness.
Her charming face instantly turned crimson, incredibly alluring.
Tang Yue wanted to push Lin Chen away, but found that in Lin Chen's warm embrace, she couldn't exert any strength.
Lin Chen had a captivating scent about him that made one deeply enchanted.
For a moment, Tang Yue's phoenix eyes became hazy.
The next moment, that handsome face slowly leaned closer to her.
"Mmm..."
Suddenly, their two thin lips gently merged.
Tang Yue, already lost in a haze, slowly closed her eyes, silently enjoying everything.
The room was exceptionally quiet, and the increasingly rapid sounds of breathing were clearly audible.
Their hot breaths hit each other's faces through their noses.
And just then, Tang Yue suddenly opened her phoenix eyes and, using all the strength in her body, pushed Lin Chen away.
Tang Yue, breaking free, was furious and embarrassed, breathing heavily, and scolded in a soft voice, "You scoundrel!"
After scolding him, she immediately ran towards the door.
"Bang..." Lin Chen in the room smiled slightly and licked his lips.
Tang Yue ran downstairs at an extremely fast speed. After an unknown amount of time, she finally reached downstairs.
Her fair jade hand covered her charming, pale cheek, and she murmured to herself, "How could this happen!"
Having lived for over twenty years, she had never experienced such a racing heartbeat, nor such a predicament.
She admitted that at this moment, her heart was in disarray.
She could even more clearly feel the desire within her!
"Do I really like him?"
"He doesn't seem so bad either!"
"No, I can't be like this!"
Tang Yue shook her head, trying desperately to deny these absurd thoughts in her heart.
Tang Yue, suppressing her most primal desires, quickly called a car and hurriedly left the place.
Lin Chen watched Tang Yue leave, and with a thought, he disappeared from where he stood.
In the Spirit Realm, Qian Renxue was concentrating on playing a game.
Suddenly, Lin Chen burst through the door and picked her up.
Qian Renxue asked in confusion, "What's wrong with you?"
But the only answer Qian Renxue received was Lin Chen's passionate kiss.
...
Since this incident, Lin Chen's life had returned to peace.
Tang Yue also gave up her persistence and did not come to disturb Lin Chen.
