Seeing the sincere expression on Yang Zhen's face, Lin Haotian's expression became extremely strange.
Lin Haotian originally came to test Yang Zhen's true strength. If the opportunity arose, he might even kill Yang Zhen, the person who posed a threat to him, with his own hands.
No, Yang Zhen can't be considered a threat to Lin Haotian. In Lin Haotian's eyes, Yang Zhen is not someone who can cause him any trouble. It's just that he's used to being praised by the entire Western Region all year round, and now that Yang Zhen has suddenly appeared, Lin Haotian feels somewhat uncomfortable and wants to nip this Yang Zhen with great potential in the bud.
But after meeting Yang Zhen, this bastard acted too meticulously, practically pampering Lin Haotian all the way to the Mount Sumeru. Along the way, he asked Lin Haotian ten times if it still hurt when he was hit on the head with a stick, and if he was hurt anywhere when he fell from Mount Sumeru.
Only when Lin Haotian began to show signs of impatience did Yang Zhen finally breathe a sigh of relief and say sincerely, "Brother Lin, you don't know, I used to think I was so great, but after meeting you, the way you came alone and your charisma completely captivated me."
Upon hearing this, everyone around looked on in utter bewilderment, their expressions as strange as could be.
Lin Haotian looked somewhat embarrassed, seemingly unable to bear the strange gazes around him. Yang Zhen, however, seemed oblivious to this, and continued to say to Lin Haotian with a fawning expression, "I hate it so much right now, I hate that I'm not a woman. If I were, I would stay by your side at all times, be your dao companion, and never leave you, even if mountains crumble and the heavens and earth unite."
Everyone froze, especially the women. When they heard Yang Zhen's last sentence, their eyes lit up, but after realizing that Yang Zhen a man, they were speechless and felt a little strange.
Mo Shuiyan had never seen Yang Zhen in such a manner before. Her large, watery eyes flashed with a strange look as she stared blankly at Yang Zhen, her face filled with astonishment and horror.
Utter silence!
On the entire mountaintop, almost no wind could be heard; only Yang Zhen's earnest voice continued, "But even if he's a man, so what? When feelings deepen to a certain extent, do they still need to distinguish between men and women?"
Wow!
Upon hearing Yang Zhen's Yang Zhen and seeing the watery expression on her face, everyone present was in an uproar, staring at Yang Zhen in shock.
Lin Haotian's expression changed drastically. He hurriedly took two steps back, staring at Yang Zhen with utter horror, and stammered, "You, what do you want to do?"
"Don't you know what I want to do, you rascal!" Yang Zhen winked at Lin Haotian, and everyone around him instantly turned pale, barely managing to hold back their vomit.
Damn it! Although I know Yang Zhen did it on purpose, even if it was on purpose, it's still not okay. Who could be so shameless as to disregard their own reputation and say such disgusting things?
Look at Lin Haotian's face, it's as if he's swallowed a toad, he looks ashen-faced and glares at Yang Zhen, roaring, "Do you want to die?!"
Yang Zhen let out a soft "Oh," and pouted, saying, "Don't be so sensitive about jokes. Everyone's about to enter the core area, wouldn't it be better to lighten the mood a bit?"
How about easing the tension?
Trying to ease the tension like that? Is that how you ease tension?
It almost made everyone throw up their dinner from the night before.
Mo Shuiyan, Yue Yazi, and the other women nearly popped their eyes out, staring at Yang Zhen with utter astonishment, muttering to themselves, "Can a person really be this despicable?"
Yue Yazi nodded hurriedly and whispered, "Look at Lin Haotian's face, look at how he looks."
" Lin Haotian didn't immediately fly into a rage and kill Yang Zhen?"
"He probably doesn't dare to get too close to Yang Zhen."
"You rascal... Hahaha, Yang Zhen's flirtatious side is so overshadowing, it's hilarious!"
"Shh, keep your voice down. If Lin Haotian hears you, do you even want to live anymore?"
A murderous intent flashed across Lin Haotian's face, clearly indicating his intention to kill Yang Zhen immediately. His expression quickly changed; he took a deep breath, regaining his nonchalant and arrogant demeanor, and calmly looked at Yang Zhen, saying, "From this moment on, if you utter another word, I will make you wish you were dead!"
Upon hearing this, everyone around was stunned. Although it wasn't directed at them personally, no one dared to speak again.
Enraged, who knows if Lin Haotian might kill indiscriminately?
"Did you hear that?" Lin Haotian asked Yang Zhen, looking down at him.
Yang Zhen blinked.
"Did you hear me?" Lin Haotian almost snorted.
Yang Zhen made two muffled sounds, pointed to her mouth, and shook her head to indicate that she couldn't speak.
"You!" Lin Haotian's longsword suddenly appeared and slashed towards Yang Zhen.
Yang Zhen remained motionless, his eyes flickering, looking at Lin Haotian with an innocent expression.
Damn it, you little bastard, you'll get what's coming to you if you Sage of Saunter with me.
Yang Zhen's face showed a flustered expression, but inside she was overjoyed.
Lin Haotian's sword ultimately did not land on Yang Zhen. He glanced at Yang Zhen intently, then turned around and walked towards the entrance to the Mount Sumeru. The Sumeru Seal in his hand shone brightly, its light growing stronger and more mysterious.
Buzz!
An invisible wave of energy rushed in, and before Lin Haotian could even take a step, he was pushed back as if by an invisible force.
"Huh?"
Lin Haotian, who was pushed out, changed his expression and muttered to himself, "Could the restrictions here be that powerful?"
Seeing that Lin Haotian had failed again, everyone subconsciously turned their gaze to Yang Zhen.
Yang Zhen was taken aback, and asked somewhat naively, "Why... are you looking at me like that?"
Mo Shuiyan rolled her eyes at Yang Zhen, thinking, "What else can you do? Of course, I want you to try and see if you can get in."
Why didn't Lin Haotian kill Yang Zhen? Wasn't it so that Yang Zhen would risk his life and be the first to step in if danger arose?
In the Jade Pool Holy Hall, no one had uttered a single word for a long time. The Jade Pool Holy Lord and Yue Qian were still standing in front of their chairs, their faces filled with solemn expressions.
Although both of them had very serious expressions, their demeanor was quite different.
Yue Qian's face no longer showed any contempt for Yang Zhen. Those involved are often confused, while bystanders see things clearly. Everyone on Mount Sumeru was puzzled as to why Lin Haotian had failed to reach the Mount Sumeru, but everyone outside the Heaven-Observing Mirror could see it clearly.
At first, no one noticed Yang Zhen's little trick, but everyone saw it clearly: after Yang Zhen reached the top of the mountain, he didn't remove any restrictions at all. Instead, he went to the core entrance of Mount Sumeru, did some tampering, and then ran back, claiming that he had removed some restrictions.
As for what Yang Zhen did at the entrance to Mount Sumeru, everyone saw it clearly. That bastard buried some more of those black things at the entrance, and the way he did it so carefully sent chills down everyone's spines.
Even a fool could guess that this black thing is definitely not a good thing.
"Arrogant brat, you're asking for death!"
With a loud crash, Yue Qian shattered a platform in front of him into tiny pieces. Everyone in the Jade Pool Holy Hall was startled, especially Elder Jian and the Palace Master of the Jade Holy Palace Yue Qian Palace. They suppressed their laughter and looked at the shattered platform with heartache. It was made of extremely precious materials! Damn it!
At the same time, the two exchanged a knowing glance, both wondering what misfortune was about to befall Lin Haotian this time.
