CHAPTER 1236: CHAPTER 1236: COME AGAIN NEXT TIME, BRING ENOUGH SPIRIT STONES

Upon hearing Yang Minghui’s words, Zhang Hongying’s face instantly stiffened. As one of the Heavenly Pride of the Zhang Family, she had always been proud and held in high regard, constantly enjoyed a place in the spotlight. Being rejected so blatantly, it was inevitably hard for her to accept.

"Young Master Yang, it’s your fortune that my sister admires you and invites you to the Zhang Family. Not just anyone can receive such an invitation from us, and not everyone can catch my sister’s eye."

"That kid isn’t a good person. Associating with him, you’ll eventually be implicated."

Zhang Chaosong looked at Yang Minghui, surprised by his refusal towards his sister, and so decisively.

One should know that in the entire Dragon City, countless people would do anything to pursue his sister, and yet, she had never taken a liking to any of them. Now, Yang Minghui had the fortune of being chosen by her, yet still acted ungratefully.

"In that case, we won’t insist, but just hope Young Master Yang doesn’t regret today’s decision in the future."

Although Zhang Hongying was entranced with Yang Minghui at first sight, she possessed her own pride.

Having been clearly refused, she wouldn’t continue to fawn shamelessly.

As for Lin Chen, there would be ample opportunities to settle the score in the future.

The assessment conference hasn’t commenced yet, and although Zhang Hongying was one of the Top Ten Heroes of Dragon City and a disciple of Yunlong Heavenly Palace, she couldn’t disrupt the order of the conference.

"Why do you refuse? You must know that this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

Lin Chen approached Yang Minghui, smiled, and immediately spoke.

Upon hearing this, Yang Minghui glared at him irritably.

Lin Chen clearly knew she was a girl, yet still said such things, evidently trying to tease her.

This incident made Yang Minghui internally waver. When would she be able to reveal the secret she had always guarded?

In the past, she never harbored such thoughts, but now, after meeting Yu Weilian, she felt a bit envious.

After all, revealing her identity as a girl would allow her to wear the beautiful clothes she favored, just like Yu Weilian.

Upon reclaiming her true self, perhaps Lin Chen would see her in a new light and might even like her.

Thinking about this, Yang Minghui suddenly wondered what was wrong with her head. Was whether Lin Chen liked her that crucial?

The stalemate between Zhang Hongying and Yang Minghui led the Zhang Family to leave.

"Take care! Come again next time. If you’re here to make trouble, remember to carry more Spirit Stones, so you don’t have to trouble your elders to come."

Watching the departing backs of Zhang Hongying and Zhang Chaosong, Lin Chen shouted aloud.

Upon hearing this, the faces of the Zhang Family members instantly became unspeakably ugly.

After all, countless Heavenly Pride disciples gathered on this square from the Five Lakes and Four Seas, witnessing this scene and mistakenly believing the Zhang Family feared Lin Chen.

Zhang Chaosong secretly noted this matter, ensuring an irreconcilable grudge between their family and Lin Chen.

"Kid, well done, daring to treat the Zhang Family this way. In the whole Dragon City, there aren’t many who dare to do such a thing."

"And you even dared to directly confront Zhang Hongying."

After Zhang Chaosong and the others left, a figure suddenly appeared beside Lin Chen, patting his shoulder and speaking.

Upon hearing this, Lin Chen slightly turned to look at the man.

"It seems I don’t know you, sir."

Lin Chen glanced at the man and said.

The man’s overly familiar demeanor left Lin Chen speechless.

One should know that although Lin Chen’s attention was on Zhang Chaosong and Zhang Hongying just now, his Divine Soul Power was now extremely strong.

No wonder this fellow appeared so suddenly, Lin Chen hadn’t noticed it before.

It seemed the Yunlong Heavenly Palace indeed was full of hidden talents, further piquing Lin Chen’s interest.

"Brother Dong, it’s you."

As Lin Chen scrutinized the man, Su Yun suddenly ran towards them, looking excitedly at the man beside Lin Chen.

Seeing this, Lin Chen immediately understood that these two were old acquaintances, perhaps even cousins.

"Little Yun, you’ve come far. Didn’t you say you were poisoned back then, causing your cultivation to diminish? Now you’ve healed and improved your cultivation."

Liang Donghe looked at Su Yun and said with a smile.

"Yes, my boss cured me."

"Cousin, this is my boss."

"Boss, this is my maternal uncle’s son, Liang Donghe."

Su Yun introduced them one by one.

Upon hearing this, everyone focused their eyes on Su Yun’s cousin, as they seemed to have heard of him before.

"That man is your cousin? Liang Donghe, one of the Top Ten Heroes of Dragon City."

Yang Minghui clearly had heard of Liang Donghe’s reputation and didn’t expect the Su Family to have such a relative.

One should know, the Top Ten Heroes of Dragon City were formidable, each one strong.

"Hehe, those are merely reputational titles given by others, nothing substantial."

"But Young Master Yang, you’re so fair-skinned, so elegant, no wonder the woman Zhang Hongying would be fond of you."

"Not to mention her, if you were a woman, I’d probably be captivated by you too."

Liang Donghe said, and immediately approached Yang Minghui with a familiar demeanor.

This fellow even aimed to gently bump Yang Minghui with his elbow, as he did with Lin Chen earlier, seemingly a personal habit.

Seeing Liang Donghe like this, Yang Minghui immediately took two steps aside, looking at him with a bizarre expression.

Witnessing this, no one paid much attention.

Liang Donghe, failing to connect, hurriedly extended his hands, attempting a handshake with Yang Minghui, only to receive another glare.

Facing consecutive refusals, Liang Donghe suddenly found himself receiving similar treatment as Zhang Hongying.

One had to say, Yang Minghui did have some nerve in his eyes, daring to ignore and even offend one of the Top Ten Heroes like himself and Zhang Hongying.

"Brother Liang, don’t blame him. He’s always like this, refuses contact with men, and is constantly surrounded by women."

"I once asked him, and he said if he were contaminated by our vulgar male aura, he wouldn’t be able to win women’s affection."
