PFC Chapter 110 The unspeakable secret
Chapter 110 The unspeakable secret
"While the position of leader should be filled by someone with high martial arts skills who can suppress the crowd, the most important thing is that they must have good character and be able to gain the trust of the people."
"Therefore, the martial arts tournament actually examines not only martial arts skills, but also character."
"If the person ultimately chosen is of questionable character, no matter how skilled he is in martial arts, no one will choose him."
Xie Yan sneered, "Dongfang Yuan is still dreaming of becoming the leader of the alliance. Little does he know that with his character, even if he is elected, he will eventually be ousted from the position."
Upon hearing this, Chu Ling nodded in agreement.
He didn't know how skilled Dongfang Yuan was in martial arts, but judging from his actions, he was hardly a person of integrity.
If such a person were elected as the leader of the martial arts alliance, the martial arts world would likely be in constant turmoil.
However, since this person is actually the owner of Fengyun Tower, he must have been stirring up trouble in the martial arts world and doing a lot of evil deeds over the years.
Chu Ling seemed to remember something, and suddenly gave Xie Yan a hard shake, asking, "Does Dongfang Shuo know about this?"
Xie Yan was jolted awake and realized that she was still lying on Chu Ling's body.
Although the "threat" that was bothering me is gone, it seems that the situation isn't much better now.
So, taking advantage of Chu Ling's momentary loosening of his grip, he flipped over and wrapped himself tightly in the blanket, rolling inside. He only stopped when half of his body was against the wall.
Chu Ling looked at Xie Yan, who only had her head showing, with amusement, but did not try to catch her again.
Instead, he turned to the side, propped his head up with his hand, and stared at Xie Yan with a leisurely air, signaling him to continue.
Xie Yan shifted slightly, realizing that Chu Ling had no intention of arresting her, and immediately relaxed, saying, "Dongfang Yuan has kept this matter very well covered up. Apart from the assassins sent by Fengyun Tower back then and himself, no one else knows about it."
"Even I only found a few clues in the files that were about to be burned."
Chu Ling looked at Xie Yan, pondering to himself, Xie Yan said that he had discovered this matter three years ago...
Coincidentally, according to rumors, Fengyunlou's then-famous "Number One in the Heavenly Court" also "retired" at that time.
Is there any connection between the two?
Thinking of this, Chu Ling remained calm and asked in the same tone, "I see that you seem to really dislike that bastard Dongfang Yuan. Why don't you tell Dongfang Shuo about this so that he can go and cause trouble for that old beast?"
If this person's actions were exposed, given the leader's influence, the Fengyunlou organization would probably no longer exist.
In the darkness, the two people in the bed could only vaguely see the outlines of each other's faces, and could only judge each other's expressions by the tone of their voices.
So Chu Ling could only sense Xie Yan pause for a moment, and then casually say, "Oh, I was thinking of it, but I was a bit busy at the time and forgot about it."
Chu Ling raised an eyebrow, not exposing the other party's obviously perfunctory answer, but instead gave a meaningful "hmm" and fell silent.
For a moment, the room fell silent.
It was unclear how much time had passed, so long that Xie Yan had fallen into a deep sleep, when Chu Ling suddenly stirred.
He lowered his head and gently stroked Xie Yan's face with his fingers, lightly caressing her cheek.
His fingers traced the contours of Xie Yan's face upwards, finally stopping at her eyebrows and eyes.
Xie Yan's brows were still slightly furrowed, indicating that she was not sleeping soundly.
Chu Ling gently stroked that spot with his fingertips, as if trying to smooth it out.
After a while, noticing that Xie Yan had relaxed her brow, he smiled silently, lowered his head, and gently placed a kiss between Xie Yan's brows.
Then, he leaned close to Xie Yan's ear and whispered something in a voice so soft it was almost inaudible.
After saying that, Chu Ling gently lay down next to Xie Yan, turned to face her, and then reached out to hug her and the blanket together.
That night, some people slept soundly, while others tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.
The next morning, Xie Yan opened her eyes groggily and was greeted by Chu Ling's magnified face.
As soon as I moved, I found myself completely trapped in someone's arms.
He struggled a few times, but found that the owner of the arm had no intention of letting go, and he felt a little helpless.
But that's not the most important thing.
Most importantly, even though he was wrapped up so tightly in the blanket, he could still feel something hard pressing against his thigh.
Xie Yan was speechless: ...Don't you have a bit too much energy?
Xie Yan moved her legs, trying to get away from that place, but found that no matter how she moved, the thing followed her like a shadow.
Xie Yan: "..."
He looked up and saw Chu Ling's chin.
He then took a deep breath and slammed upwards, successfully hearing a muffled groan from the person beside him, after which the arms that were holding him loosened.
As soon as she got a chance, Xie Yan quickly rolled over Chu Ling's body and got off the bed, turning her back to him as she began to tidy her clothes.
Chu Ling sat up in bed, one hand casually resting on his bent knee, the other rubbing his chin.
He looked at Xie Yan, who seemed on high alert, with amusement and asked, "Why did you run so far?"
Xie Yan straightened her clothes, and without turning her head, she moved a few steps away as if afraid of seeing something "dirty".
Only after he stepped back to the door, making sure there was a safe distance between himself and Chu Ling, did he say, "Your Highness is certainly full of energy this early in the morning."
Upon hearing this, Chu Ling raised an eyebrow, smiled, and then looked over meaningfully.
"This time it really is a normal reaction for men when they wake up in the morning."
Xie Yan: ...So you finally admit that you were deliberately being a pervert last night, huh?
As Chu Ling spoke, he looked Xie Yan up and down, his tone tinged with confusion, "But in all these days, why have I never seen you do anything?"
Xie Yan's lips twitched slightly, speechless with emotion.
Don't tell him that every morning when Chu Ling gets up, she also takes the opportunity to lift the covers to check if he reacts.
Seeing Xie Yan remain silent, Chu Ling seemed to understand something. He tapped the edge of the bed lightly with his finger and said with a hint of teasing, "Could it be... that you have some unspeakable secret?"
Xie Yan choked for a moment, then forced a smile to defend herself, "Your Highness is overthinking it. The first lesson we learn in our line of work is to control our desires."
"Over time, those worldly desires will disappear."
Chu Ling nodded thoughtfully. Just when Xie Yan thought the matter was over, he unexpectedly added something else—
"How about I treat you?"
Xie Yan: "..." Thank you, but it's not necessary.
