CHAPTER 1582: CHAPTER 1582: CHENG LIANG THE GOSSIP

Zi Ling gazed at Cheng Liang and slowly began to speak:

However, deep down, she was extremely worried. Lin Chen still hadn’t caught up, so he must not have escaped from Yun Xinrui’s grasp yet.

If that’s really the case, wouldn’t Lin Chen be in danger, possibly even already in peril?

Zi Ling dared not think further about it and immediately planned to turn back to find Lin Chen.

"Senior Sister Zi Ling, how many times have I told you not to be so reckless? Since I told you all to leave, I naturally have a way to escape from Yun Xinrui’s grasp."

Just as Zi Ling was about to turn around to find Lin Chen, Lin Chen’s voice suddenly rang in everyone’s ears, and soon after, Lin Chen flew in from a distance.

"Hmph, you heartless guy, wasn’t I just worried about you, which is why you haven’t caught up in so long."

Looking at Lin Chen’s arrival, Zi Ling’s face instantly blossomed with joy.

Seeing Lin Chen safe and sound, the heavy stone hanging in her heart finally settled.

"I know Senior Sister Zi Ling is concerned about me, see, I rushed back non-stop."

Lin Chen looked at Zi Ling and calmly said.

"Lin Chen, are you alright?"

Zi Ling stared at Lin Chen, immediately looking him up and down, fearing Lin Chen might be injured in any way.

"Senior Sister, rest assured, I’m fine. Yun Xinrui can’t do anything to me."

Lin Chen looked at Zi Ling and calmly replied.

Upon hearing this, Zi Ling carefully checked Lin Chen’s body and indeed found no injuries on him.

She knew very well Lin Chen’s physique, and as long as he wasn’t killed on the spot, his injuries could recover very quickly.

So, since Lin Chen was able to come back, it meant he was safe and sound.

"Young Master Lin Chen, thank you very much this time; the Zhang Family will remember this kindness.

Zhang Hongying walked up to Lin Chen and solemnly bowed.

Lin Chen has saved them from danger several times, a kindness they truly cannot repay.

Zhang Caiyun and Zhang Lin saw this and also expressed their gratitude to Lin Chen. At this moment, Zhang Caiyun put away her usual jovial demeanor and became very serious.

"Young Master Lin Chen, what are your plans next?"

Zhang Hongying looked at Lin Chen and calmly asked.

"Treasure Canyon will reopen again in a year, so naturally, I’ll return. Over the coming year, I plan to continue exploring these ruins, to see if I can find any opportunities or treasures."

Lin Chen looked at Zhang Hongying and replied unhurriedly.

In this Tianliu Continent, Dragon Fang has mentioned that this is a world where the Mysteries of the Martial Path are stronger compared to the Mysterious Heaven World. Lin Chen is sure to find some opportunities by exploring here.

"Junior Brother Lin Chen, come over here; I have something to tell you."

Just as Lin Chen and Zhang Hongying were discussing their future plans, Zi Ling suddenly came up to Lin Chen, spoke to him, and then pulled him aside.

Zhang Hongying and Zhang Caiyun exchanged a glance upon seeing this as if puzzled by Zi Ling’s actions.

"What’s all this secrecy about, what are they up to?"

Zhang Caiyun watched Lin Chen being led away by Zi Ling and softly spoke.

"They want to have a private conversation; are you seriously thinking of eavesdropping?"

Cheng Liang looked at Zhang Caiyun and calmly spoke.

Hearing this, Zhang Caiyun was momentarily stunned, thinking she must have misheard.

"Zi Ling, having a private chat with Lin Chen? Do you seriously think you can fool me? With her violent nature, how could she be involved with a man romantically?"

Zhang Caiyun obviously did not believe what Cheng Liang was saying and instantly retorted.

Since entering Yunlong Heavenly Palace, Zhang Caiyun has never heard any rumors about Zi Ling.

In fact, some male disciples who initially pursued Zi Ling ended up being beaten to a pulp by her.

"Hmph, what do you know? Why can’t Senior Sister Zi Ling be romantic with a man? Senior Sister Zi Ling is prettier than you, has a better figure, and it’s perfectly normal to have some story with Junior Brother Lin Chen. You know, Senior Sister Zi Ling’s first kiss was given to Junior Brother Lin Chen."

Cheng Liang looked at Zhang Caiyun with arms crossed and started gossiping.

"What, Zi Ling’s first kiss was given to Lin Chen, seriously, Cheng Liang are you making this up to tease me?"

Hearing Cheng Liang’s words, Zhang Caiyun became extremely curious, but there remained skepticism on her face.

"Why would I lie to you? What’s in it for me? You may not know, but the first kiss stuff is minor compared to other juicier things."

Seeing Zhang Caiyun’s interest piqued, Cheng Liang’s gossiping spirit seemed to awaken.

"Something juicier? What exactly, hurry and tell me!"

Hearing Cheng Liang mention other juicy news, Zhang Caiyun couldn’t help but ask eagerly.

Though previously, Zi Ling seemed uninterested in males, now it turns out she’s quite the reserved type, actively flirting with a man. If this news gets out, it could cause a massive stir in Yunlong Heavenly Palace.

Cheng Liang, seeing Zhang Caiyun’s expectant look, suddenly remembered that she was quite the blabbermouth, and if he told her about it, she might spread it all over. If it gets out, Senior Sister Zi Ling surely won’t spare him.

"Why should I tell you? Zhang Caiyun, I’m telling you: don’t spread this around, you know very well about Senior Sister Zi Ling’s temper, you’ll suffer if you do."

Cheng Liang looked at Zhang Caiyun and warned.

"Don’t worry, you know what kind of person I am, I definitely won’t spread it."

Zhang Caiyun looked at Cheng Liang and calmly said.

Come on, even if this story gets out, I’d never admit that I told it, I can say it was Cheng Liang who said it...

Cheng Liang felt somewhat relieved at Zhang Caiyun’s assurance. If Zi Ling discovered he spread it around, he feared she’d beat him up.

However, little did Cheng Liang know, Zhang Caiyun was already planning to spread the news and blame it on him afterward.

Hearing what Cheng Liang said to Zhang Caiyun, Zhang Hongying and Zhang Lin were also listening nearby, but they were not as gossipy as Zhang Caiyun and were skeptical about what Cheng Liang said. After all, the Zi Ling they knew didn’t seem like such a person.

Although Zhang Hongying was reluctant to believe what Cheng Liang said, seeing his serious expression and considering he was from Yellow Hall, it seemed unlikely he would fabricate such a lie to smear Zi Ling; what would he gain from it?

"Senior Sister Zi Ling, what did you want to talk to me about?"

After following Zi Ling to one side, Lin Chen looked at Zi Ling and asked.

"Junior Brother Lin Chen, I’m not planning to stay in these ruins any longer; I intend to leave and return to Yunlong Heavenly Palace. Before I leave, I want to ask you for a few drops of the Water of Life."
