"Yes, it's you who seduced Ye Huan. I heard everything just now. Ye Huan let Ruo Qiu go because of you. Do you really think you can deny it?"
Noticing the surprise written all over Jin Ling's face, Zhao Ziyu must have been here for a while. A cold smile adorned her pretty face as she spoke the 'truth' she had personally heard. This was something Jin Ling could not refute, as even she did not understand why Ye Huan had previously said he let Ruo Qiu go for her sake.
"Zhao Ziyu, listen to me, here's what happened..."
Ye Huan explained the entire situation in detail to Zhao Ziyu. Since there were no other Heavenly Dragon Gate Protectors around, he openly shared everything about the Eight Gates of Immortal Trapping Formation. On one hand, Ye Huan did not want Zhao Ziyu to misunderstand his relationship with Jin Ling; on the other hand, he wanted Jin Ling to know his thoughts. As for whether their deal could still be completed, that depended on whether Jin Ling could find a solution that satisfied both parties.
"Wait, Ye Huan, are you saying you initially wanted to use the Eight Gates of Immortal Trapping Formation to capture all the Heavenly Dragon Gate Protectors?"
Before Zhao Ziyu could respond to everything Ye Huan had told her, Jin Ling unexpectedly jumped in front of Zhao Ziyu and questioned Ye Huan. Her pretty face was filled with shock. It was no wonder Jin Ling reacted this way; not long ago, Wang Huai from the Heavenly Dragon Sect's Ten Protectors had described in detail the power of the Eight Gates of Immortal Trapping Formation, which could trap all the Heavenly Dragon Gate Protectors inside it. If that happened, they would surely be facing death, and it was thanks to Ye Huan that such a strategy was conceived.
"That's right; I did have that idea before. But I should also mention that although the Eight Gates of Immortal Trapping Formation has been activated, Sect Master Yu Wuxia does not possess the method to use it effectively. Ultimately, this formation is merely a mountain-protecting array. Trying to use it to annihilate all the Heavenly Dragon Gate Protectors except for you is nothing but a pipe dream."
With a bitter smile and a shake of his head, Ye Huan admitted that he indeed considered using the Eight Gates of Immortal Trapping Formation against the Heavenly Dragon Gate Protectors. However, just thinking about Sect Master Yu Wuxia's empty promises made him feel a vague sense of frustration, and his tone was weak as he spoke.
Sensing Ye Huan's fatigue and helplessness, Jin Ling snapped back from his bold idea and reluctantly asked, "Is there really no other way?"
"Other ways? It's not that I don't want to help you, but honestly speaking, aside from relying on the power of the Eight Gates of Immortal Trapping Formation, I truly don't know what else could possibly kill all the Guardians of the Heavenly Dragon Sect in one go..."
A hint of confusion flickered in his eyes. Ye Huan had once thought about taking down all the Guardians of the Heavenly Dragon Sect by himself. But then again, if he truly possessed such power, why would he need Jin Ling's help? He could simply kill them all himself if necessary.
"This..."
Understanding the situation, Jin Ling chose to remain silent. Zhao Ziyu also seemed at a loss for words. Even after hearing their conversation, Zhao Ziyu did not speak up, instead using her large eyes to dart back and forth between Ye Huan and Jin Ling. Most of the time, her gaze lingered on Jin Ling's chest, clearly still troubled by the events from before.
Realizing what was on Zhao Ziyu's mind through her gaze, Jin Ling felt a twinge of concern about her own predicament after understanding that Ye Huan did not possess the ability to resolve the issue with the Heavenly Dragon Gate Protector all at once. She even considered whether she could build a good relationship with Zhao Ziyu in order to gain favor with Ye Huan. After all, within the Heavenly Dragon Sect, nearly all the Heavenly Dragon Gate Protectors believed that she and Ye Huan were involved with each other. Moreover, since Yuxu Palace could not possibly conquer the Heavenly Dragon Gate Protector, if this matter reached Gu Long's ears, it would be detrimental for her and could even lead to disaster.
After weighing her options in her mind, Jin Ling quickly made a decision. She ignored Ye Huan and took a few steps over to Zhao Ziyu's side. After puffing out her ample chest slightly, she whispered in Zhao Ziyu's ear, "Sister Zhao Ziyu, are you still worried about your figure? To be honest, I have a method that can make your figure look even better."
"Really?"
With her gaze still fixed on Jin Ling's full bosom, Zhao Ziyu's natural competitive spirit kicked in. Upon hearing that Jin Ling had a way to enhance her own bust size, she immediately cast aside her previous concerns and expressed disbelief.
"Of course it's true! Just listen to me..."
Like close sisters, Jin Ling unknowingly took Zhao Ziyu's small hand and led her aside. The two began to whisper to each other. Ye Huan watched in astonishment. However, having witnessed similar situations in the Twenty-First Century, he quickly regained his composure and even muttered to himself:
"Is this for real? Can this world really enhance bust size? If I, Ye Huan, could open a beauty salon, I'd make a fortune..."
He continued to mumble to himself for quite some time. After what felt like two cups of tea had passed, he saw Zhao Ziyu and Jin Ling walking hand in hand towards him, both wearing bright smiles. Their relationship seemed as close as sisters; they had turned from enemies to friends faster than one could flip a page in a book. There was no trace of the earlier animosity where one had just been cursing the other as a seductress trying to lure him away.
Ignoring the strange expression on Ye Huan's face, when Zhao Ziyu and Jin Ling reached him, Zhao Ziyu smiled broadly and declared dramatically, "Ye Huan, I've made my decision! I want to become sworn sisters with Sister Jin Ling!"
"Sister Jin Ling? Sworn sisters?"
Ye Huan's mouth unconsciously formed an O shape, his eyes nearly popping out in shock. After all, it had only been a short while, and now two women who had previously glared at each other were about to become sworn sisters. Was the world changing too quickly, or was he, Ye Huan, just not keeping up with the times?
His brows furrowed tightly together. When he saw Jin Ling looking at him with the same smile on her face, a sense of foreboding suddenly washed over him. It was like a person with a stomachache spotting a latrine nearby; the feeling came swiftly and left just as quickly. Before Ye Huan could fully grasp it, it flickered past him. After hesitating for a moment, he cleared his throat and said, "Ahem... if you want to become sworn brothers, just say so..."
"Yes, that's right! Brotherhood!"
Before Ye Huan could finish his sentence, Zhao Ziyu's eyes lit up at his words. She grabbed Jin Ling and ran off to the side, leaving Ye Huan standing alone in place...
