Chapter 1217: Chapter 1217: Reputation Spreads

"No way, you can’t take Sister Yu away. If you want to spar, do it in my room."

Yang Minghui held onto Yu Weilian and immediately said to Lin Chen.

"Yang Minghui, is there something wrong with your brain? I’ve been staying in your room all along. With what happened last time, what do you think the people outside will think if they find out? How will they gossip about us?"

Lin Chen looked at Yang Minghui and said irritably.

Upon hearing this, Yang Minghui’s cheeks immediately reddened. He was only thinking about keeping Yu Weilian nearby and neglected this matter; his face turned bright red at the thought.

However, little did they know that a martial artist from the Mu Family happened to see Lin Chen entering Yang Minghui’s room, and rumors about the pair’s indecent behavior had already spread outside.

"That’s settled then. During this time, you will help Sister Yu spar to stabilize her cultivation. In ten days, I’ll come again to help Sister Yu refine the Five Elements Spiritual Essence to enhance her cultivation."

After Lin Chen finished speaking, he left the room.

Upon hearing Lin Chen’s words, Yang Minghui snorted coldly, telling Lin Chen to leave quickly.

Yang Minghui was very displeased with Lin Chen’s scolding attitude towards her.

The two of them have always been at odds since their first meeting.

Lin Chen didn’t hold it against Yang Minghui, only thinking that there might be something wrong with Yang Minghui’s mind. After all, she’s clearly a woman, even if dressed as a man, yet insists on competing with him for Sister Yu; it’s truly puzzling.

Walking out of Yang Minghui’s room, Lin Chen didn’t notice anyone spotting him, secretly sighing in relief.

However, just when he thought everything was fine, he suddenly heard discussions about him and Yang Minghui from rooms without arrays to isolate sound.

"Are you sure you saw correctly? It was really Lin Chen going into Yang Minghui’s room?"

In a Mu Family martial artist’s room, a man in a blue outfit asked another man in purple attire.

Clearly, they were discussing something earlier, and the man in blue didn’t believe the other’s words.

"Yes, I saw it with my own eyes; there’s definitely no mistake."

"I didn’t expect it; I’ve heard before that Young Master Yang is charming and many women are madly in love with him, so much so that they’re deeply heartbroken. But it’s only ever been with women."

"I never thought he’d have that kind of preference for men too."

The sounds of discussion echoed in the room.

"It can’t be, right? Before it was only rumored he made moves on women, never any scandal with men."

"That’s because you were in the room that day and didn’t come to the deck to see. He flirted with Lin Chen from the Su Family right in front of everyone."

Two more martial artists started gossiping.

"That’s not it; that day on the deck, although I saw Young Master Yang make such a move on Young Master Lin Chen, Young Master Lin Chen refused him."

"I believe even if Young Master Yang is that type of person, our Young Master Lin Chen absolutely isn’t."

Su Xiao from the Su Family, upon hearing the Mu Family martial artist talk like this, was very displeased and immediately spoke up in defense of Lin Chen.

"Haha, Little Sister Su Xiao, this is where you don’t understand, right? Sometimes, appreciation of beauty doesn’t concern whether the person is male or female."

"Ask Yang Ming, if he has ever been moved by his family’s young master’s handsomeness."

Mu Zhen smiled at Yang Ming as he asked, making it seem like he had been moved.

"I... I haven’t, don’t say such nonsense, it would ruin our young master’s and my reputation."

Yang Ming felt embarrassed immediately after hearing Mu Zhen’s words and spoke with a stutter.

His eyes constantly wandered, evidently somewhat guilty.

Observing him, everyone around immediately realized that this guy probably did have thoughts of that nature.

After all, regarding someone like Yang Minghui, even if not female, has a kind of eerily handsome charm that drives people a bit crazy.

Yang Ming actually did have such thoughts, but he didn’t dare express them due to Yang Minghui’s status as the young master.

After all, having those thoughts about their young master, even ten lives wouldn’t be enough to survive.

Yet that day on the deck, their young master openly said those kinds of words to Lin Chen.

This immediately made the Yang Family people feel like they’d discovered new land.

Since their young master indeed had that kind of preference, they believed they might have a chance.

"You haven’t heard, right? In Yang Minghui’s room, there’s said to be a great beauty, now bewitched by Yang Minghui, but she was Lin Chen’s woman before."

"Now with the three of them in one room, what kind of stories do you think will happen?"

Mu Zhen looked at everyone with an exceedingly mischievous smile.

After hearing this, everyone also showed malicious smiles.

Yang Ming, upon hearing this, couldn’t help but clench his fist. Although this sounded exciting and was quite possibly true, how could he be happy when Yang Minghui was their young master, and people were talking about him like this?

Su Xiao’s face turned extremely red upon hearing everyone’s words.

Although she felt Lin Chen shouldn’t be the type of person they described, after all, Lin Chen refused Young Master Yang on that day too.

However, regarding a handsome man like Yang Minghui, Su Xiao had to admit that ordinary people find it hard to resist temptation.

The gossip among the crowd continued, but then the door suddenly swung open, and a figure appeared at the entrance.

Someone was about to protest at this abrupt entry without a word, surprised by the intrusion.

Yet when everyone’s gaze turned to look at the entrance, they fell silent immediately and dared not say a word.

"Looks like you all are gathered here chatting happily; I also want to hear what topics you’re discussing."

"Why not continue? Don’t mind me."

Lin Chen spoke as he walked slowly towards Mu Zhen.

"Brother Lin, I... I definitely wasn’t discussing you; that’s my young master, how could I speak badly behind his back?"

"Young Master Lin Chen, what are you doing! Ah..."

As Lin Chen entered the room where everyone was gathered, shrieks suddenly sounded from everyone.

Lin Chen was indeed very upset; these guys were gossiping about him behind his back.

And it’s also the fault of that foolish woman Yang Minghui, who caused such a misunderstanding on the deck that day.
