NOVEL NEXT Chapter 227: Being Manipulated
"Daoist Li, you have really brought me a lot of trouble!"
The middle-aged scholar watched Fang Yiyun leave before he bitterly smiled and looked at Li Yunjing and Lv Ruoxi.
The arrogance of a scholar had vanished from his face, replaced with an expression of great trouble, as if he hoped for some compensation from Li Yunjing.
Of course, this compensation was not about material goods, but about personal favors!
After all, he had indirectly saved Li Yunjing and Lv Ruoxi once.
Considering the future prospects of Li Yunjing and Lv Ruoxi, such a favor was worth asking for from this scholar's perspective.
"Aren't you going to get down?"
Seeing the middle-aged scholar addressing him, Li Yunjing looked at Lv Ruoxi, who was still clinging to him, and felt very troubled.
He gently held Lv Ruoxi's slender waist and separated her from his body.
After savoring the softness of her touch, Li Yunjing stood up, looked at the middle-aged scholar, and smiled: "Shopkeeper, this has nothing to do with me! This is a madman! And in 'East Splendor Tower,' you have an obligation to protect the safety of us guests."
If the middle-aged scholar had asked for some benefit or material compensation, Li Yunjing would have immediately agreed.
However, when it came to personal favors, Li Yunjing was unwilling to concede.
One must know that the middle-aged scholar was extremely powerful and highly cultivated, a prominent figure among Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators.
If such a person were to ask for help or a favor, it would be a huge trouble, and Li Yunjing would have to pay a great price to repay it.
Li Yunjing resolutely did not acknowledge such a favor.
Thus, Li Yunjing shifted the matter to the premise that the 'East Splendor Tower' was responsible for protecting its guests.
Since it was business, it should be handled as such, with no room for personal sentiment.
"Alright! Enjoy your stay! I will ensure the safety of every guest!"
Seeing that Li Yunjing wasn't taking the bait, the middle-aged scholar cursed inwardly, "You little fox," shook his head, and finally reminded, "The Fang family is not easy to deal with either."
With that, he led the people of 'East Splendor Tower' out of the private room.
"Thank you for the reminder!"
Li Yunjing responded with a smile and only turned to look at Lv Ruoxi after the door closed, showing a hesitant expression.
To be honest, Li Yunjing currently had a bit of a headache.
"What's wrong? Hugged and kissed me just now, and now you want to deny it?"
Looking at Li Yunjing with a half-smile, Lv Ruoxi threw herself into his arms again.
"Uh..."
But before Li Yunjing could explain anything, Lv Ruoxi's sensual red lips were already pressed against his.
A warm, slippery little tongue slipped into Li Yunjing's mouth, startling him.
However, the presence of a beautiful woman in his arms and that intense, thrilling sensation overwhelmed Li Yunjing's nerves, leaving him no room to think.
Like two flames, Li Yunjing responded passionately. After a long while, only when both were breathless, did they reluctantly part.
Looking at the unrivaled beauty with heaving snow peaks, Li Yunjing sighed and asked, "Are you serious or just playing?"
Even at this moment, Li Yunjing couldn't tell what was real.
"Hmph!"
Hearing this, Lv Ruoxi's beautiful face turned slightly pale, and her bright eyes turned misty, almost shedding tears.
"Don't cry! What are you doing?"
Li Yunjing was completely at a loss, feeling helpless.
It felt as if he was bullying her, but he really didn't think he had taken much advantage!
Could she not make him out to be the bad guy? He felt so wronged.
"Hmph! Do you think I am an easy woman? Apart from you, no man has ever touched me!"
Lv Ruoxi looked at Li Yunjing with resentment and said softly.
"It's over!"
Seeing Lv Ruoxi like this, Li Yunjing couldn't help but shiver.
Seems like he couldn't get rid of her now?
"I'm not a good person! I already have a Dao partner and two concubines outside."
Some things still had to be said, so Li Yunjing stated bluntly.
"I know! You're unclear with Smoke Rain Tower's Liu Ruyan. And what about your conquest of Feng Xueting? Have you played with her yet? It seems that during your time in Scripture Pavilion, your two pretty team members were quite fond of you! Also..."
Before Li Yunjing could finish, Lv Ruoxi added.
Listening to Lv Ruoxi's unending revelations, Li Yunjing blushed. He hadn't expected Lv Ruoxi to have schemed so much against him, even uncovering such deeply hidden relationships.
This made Li Yunjing feel somewhat uncomfortable.
Is she a spy?
Even minor ambiguities, relationships that hadn't developed yet, Lv Ruoxi had investigated?
Was there anything at all about him that Lv Ruoxi didn't know?
This feeling of being stripped bare made Li Yunjing feel extremely awkward. But just now, he had kissed and touched Lv Ruoxi, so what now?
It was all Fang Yiyun's fault, that bastard! Threatening him like that, causing him to get angry and take it out on Lv Ruoxi.
Now it's worse. Lv Ruoxi saw an opportunity and clung to him.
It was also his fault for losing control of his desires before Lv Ruoxi, taking advantage of her. Now, no matter what, he couldn't explain it clearly.
At this moment, Li Yunjing truly had no idea how to deal with this complex relationship.
Deep down, Li Yunjing didn't think he had really won over Lv Ruoxi.
