Ah!

Ling Yanran was startled, looking at Chen Xuan in shock, "You, how come you're not..."

Her heart was filled with surprise. The look in his eyes just now clearly seemed dazed, so why was he still clear-headed?

Chen Xuan scoffed disdainfully, "Ling Yanran, such tricks don't work on me."

"As soon as I entered your room, I immediately noticed something was wrong with this fragrant aroma."

Ling Yanran was aghast, inwardly sighing, indeed his medical skills are godlike!

He quietly neutralized the incense, having no effect on him at all.

"So you're saying, you were just acting with me just now, watching me make a fool of myself." Ling Yanran gazed at him with a resentful look.

Chen Xuan smiled indifferently, "We can only be friends, don't engage in inappropriate actions, remember that!"

Finishing his words, he was about to turn and leave.

Ling Yanran was very unwilling, hurriedly blocking Chen Xuan's path, "Why? Where exactly am I inferior to Lin Wanxi, why do you disregard me so?!"

Chen Xuan's expression was calm, "There's no comparison between you and Wanxi, so don't even try, it will only bring disgrace upon yourself."

Ling Yanran's eyes shifted, "Fine, let's not talk about Lin Wanxi, don't you have two other women?"

"Compared to them, where am I lacking? Am I not as outstanding as them? I refuse to accept this!"

Chen Xuan shook his head slightly, "I'll tell you where the difference lies; both of them truly care for me, pure love."

"But you, Ling Yanran, are not sincere! Understand?"

"How dare you say that about me! I also genuinely like you, is it just because I used this method that you think my feelings for you aren't pure enough?" Ling Yanran was still defiant.

Chen Xuan burst into cold laughter, "Ling Yanran, did you approach me, even resorting to such underhanded means, really because you love me?"

"No! What you love is not me as a person, but my status, or perhaps the powerful force behind me!"

Ling Yanran's gaze froze, looking at him in horror.

About to open her mouth in retort, but was interrupted by Chen Xuan's wave, "Don't be quick to deny it; regarding my identity, haven't you all been clear since long ago."

"Let's put it another way, if I weren't the Young Hall Master of the Holy Temple, without that aura, would you still be so clingy? I doubt it!"

"Whether it's Su Linlang or Xiao Yiyi, neither of them knows my true identity. It's just through continuous interaction that feelings developed, and they love me as a person, unrelated to my status as Young Hall Master."

"This is the fundamental difference between you and the two of them! I dislike conniving women!"

Without giving Ling Yanran a chance to respond, Chen Xuan opened the door and walked out.

Inside the room, only Ling Yanran was left standing dumbfounded, showing a bitter smile.

The so-called beauty trap, utterly failed!

Through the ages, heroes have struggled to resist the allure of beauty, but it's not absolute!

Chen Xuan is that exception!

Ling Yanran shed tears, not knowing why she was sad. No one could understand her state of mind at that moment.

When Chen Xuan came out of the room, he saw Steward Ling sneaking around looking shady.

"Mr. Chen, you treated the young lady's illness so quickly?" Steward Ling approached with a forced smile, pretending to be innocent.

Chen Xuan didn't bother to point it out, saying softly, "Miss Ling is fine; she'll be well after resting for a few days."

"Help me pass a message to Old Master Ling: 'What's meant to be will always find a way, and what's not meant to be, don't force it.'"

With that, he strode forward, disappearing outside the courtyard gate.

Steward Ling's eyes shifted unpredictably, hastily finding Old Master Ling to convey Chen Xuan's words.

"Patriarch, what is Mr. Chen implying by this?"

Old Master Ling smiled wryly, "Obviously, Yanran's plan failed, and she didn't succeed."

"Mr. Chen is indirectly warning the Ling Family not to try anything with him again; Yanran is not destined to be with him."

At that time.

Ever since Ma Ting took over all of the Ma Family's industries, she also began secretly investigating the cause of death of her father Ma Guangshun and her brother Ma Wenhao, focusing her attention on Chen Xuan.

She soon learned that Chen Xuan was with Su Linlang and had opened a tutoring class.

She had no direct evidence that her father and brother died at the hands of Chen Xuan, but it was definitely related to him.

So she sought out her lover, Yamaguchi Dojo's head, Sakaki Ichiro.

That noon, the two secretly met in a hotel room. After a moment of pleasure, Ma Ting began to persuade Sakaki.

"Darling, do me a favor..."

Facing the old lover's request, Sakaki did not refuse, nodding with a smile, "No problem, leave it to me!"

Ma Ting nodded with a smile, "Great, I'll be waiting for your good news then."

That afternoon, several Dongyang Martial Artists from the Yamaguchi Dojo forcibly broke into the tutoring class to harass Su Linlang.

Following orders, Jin Jiu was there to protect Su Linlang's safety and clashed with those Dongyang Martial Artists.

As a result, Jin Jiu was no match and was severely injured, while those Dongyang Martial Artists left triumphantly amidst loud laughter.

By the time Chen Xuan drove over, the trouble-seeking Dongyang Martial Artists had already left.

Chen Xuan checked Jin Jiu's injuries, finding that his ribs were broken in four places and his arm was fractured.

"Master Chen, you must avenge me!"

"Those Dongyang Martial Artists not only injured me but also insulted us as weaklings!"

Jin Jiu was filled with anger, unable to swallow this humiliation.
