Supreme Tamer

Chapter 1650: Chapter 1510: The Skill of Lying

Liu Binglan was curious about what exactly the city master of Hecheng stole from the Imperial Clan, but she did not ask. To dare such a risk, the object he stole must have been extraordinary.

Liu Binglan remembered Yu Suo saying that City Lord Lin Xian was a trustworthy person. She felt that the city lord must have reached some agreement with Yu Suo. Therefore, when Lin Xian offered to escort her back to the Mountain Villa, Liu Binglan nodded in agreement.

“Can you walk by yourself?” Liu Binglan looked at Lin Xian who appeared somewhat weak and asked.

“I should be able to.” Lin Xian’s main injuries were psychological wounds. As long as he didn’t faint, he should have no significant problem walking by himself.

Lin Xian realized Liu Binglan never had the habit of helping others physically.

Lin Xian helplessly shook his head: This woman was still the same as before, disliking any strangers touching her.

Of course, Lin Xian believed that once he revealed his true identity, not to mention her helping him, it would be an improvement on her temper if Liu Binglan didn’t throw him directly off a cliff.

Liu Binglan walked beside him, and Lin Xian did not speak either. Dragging his tired body forward, he occasionally glanced at her profile.

So many years had passed, and her appearance had not changed much. Perhaps she had entered the ranks of Soul Emperor and Soul Master very early, as Lin Xian saw no traces of time on her face.

Cold beauty, aloof, not conversing, like an ice lotus blooming quietly. Whenever one wished to approach her, the cold air surrounding her seemed to cause frostbite.

Lin Xian also maintained silence, walking forward, but the older memories in his mind slowly surfaced.

It was late at night, and the servants in the Mountain Villa had also rested.

No one patrolled the Mountain Villa since the residents were among the strongest individuals in the Human Domain; who could possibly escape their perception?

After passing through the Mountain Villa to the courtyard where Lin Xian resided, Liu Binglan was about to leave when she slightly furrowed her brows.

“They have come again.” Liu Binglan hurriedly warned Lin Xian.

“They must have smelled the scent of blood.” Lin Xian had spent the journey reminiscing and had overlooked such a serious issue.

He looked at his black clothing and hurriedly took it off, throwing it into his Space Ring.

After removing his black clothes, Lin Xian was left wearing a single light garment, making him look as if he had just climbed out of bed.

After taking care of his clothes, Lin Xian quickly stretched out his other hand, placed it to his mouth, and fiercely bit into it.

This bite made blood gush from his arm.

Liu Binglan looked at Lin Xian’s actions with some confusion. At this moment, Lin Xian suddenly yanked off Liu Binglan’s outer coat, pulling it off and letting it fall to the ground.

Liu Binglan was stunned, but before she could think more about it, the two royal elders had crossed the pavilion and landed in the courtyard.

The two elders looked at Liu Binglan and Lin Xian with puzzled faces, noticing something strange about Lin Xian’s attire and scrutinizing him for a long time.

“What are you doing here late at night?” the royal elders asked solemnly.

“That’s what I should be asking you!” Lin Xian appeared very angry as he stared at the two elders.

“We were chasing a thief, and the thief disappeared near this area… City Lord Lin, Lady Liu, please answer our questions.” Another royal elder stated.

“What do you think?” Lin Xian sneered, one of his arms wrapping around Liu Binglan’s waist.

The two elders paused, thought carefully, and then what else could a man and a woman with their coats fallen to the ground be doing in the middle of the night?

“Sorry for the disturbance, it’s because Lady Liu was alone before, and we smelled blood here,” the royal elder explained.

“You’re talking about this?” Lin Xian extended his other hand, showing the deep bite mark to the two royal elders.

Lin Xian slowly explained, “I was thoughtless earlier, and perhaps treated the lady rudely… Moreover, she likes to bite.”

The two royal elders looked at each other but did not find any discrepancy.

As for the biting explanation, well, it’s normal for young people to enjoy such thrilling activities.

Since the visitors were guests, it was very impolite to intrude directly into someone else’s Mountain Villa courtyard and disturb their intimate activities.

The two royal elders did not dare stay longer and turned to leave.

Liu Binglan had not said a word from the beginning, and when she sensed through her Soul Sense that the two royal elders had gone far, she indifferently glanced at Lin Xian and said, “You lie very well, like an old friend of mine.”

“Heh heh.” Lin Xian gave an awkward laugh.

“Can you take your hand off?” Liu Binglan’s eyes had started to grow colder, clearly a sign before getting angry.

“Sorry, sorry.” Lin Xian quickly withdrew his arm that was around Liu Binglan’s waist.

This arm was injured, and Lin Xian hadn’t intended to take advantage of Liu Binglan; he had only used this method to cover his wound to prevent the two royal elders from seeing it.

Thinking back, it’s not like they hadn’t embraced before. Was there a need to get angry over such a small gesture?

“I take my leave.” Liu Binglan didn’t speak much to Lin Xian, as he was now safely in the courtyard, she also considered her mission accomplished.

“Thank you.” Lin Xian watched as Liu Binglan turned and left,

After Liu Binglan left, Lin Xian moved his hand to his cheek, and tore off his disguised face, revealing his original appearance.

Watching the direction in which Liu Binglan quickly left, Chu Tianmang shook his head helplessly and said, “Still so hard to serve, was it just because I hugged her waist?”

Remembering the days when he was young and with Liu Binglan, Chu Tianmang couldn’t help but rub his temples.

This woman, resistant to both soft and hard approaches, is impervious to persuasion. You simply don’t know how to please her, nor when you might offend her, and most importantly, she doesn’t talk much.

Not talking, how would Chu Tianmang know what she is actually thinking!

“I shouldn’t have gone to Qiankun Ice Gate at that time,” Chu Tianmang muttered to himself.

…

Back in her own room, Liu Binglan changed her clothes.

Lin Xian’s arm was injured, and the blood from his arm stained her back.

Liu Binglan isn’t fond of strangers touching her, which is in line with the concept of purity and restraint she has always observed in Soul Hall.

However, she sensed something amiss.

Lin Xian’s eyes—these eyes felt familiar to Liu Binglan, not merely deja vu, but genuinely familiar!

“He is that space refugee saved by Bai Yu,” Liu Binglan confirmed to herself.

Yet, Liu Binglan felt that there was more to this man than meets the eye, always some hidden aspect.

What exactly is this hidden element, Liu Binglan wondered and couldn’t fully understand.

…

The next day at the meeting, all representative forces and human strong ones took their seats.

The seating was the same as yesterday, and Liu Binglan felt somewhat uneasy right from the start; she had a feeling of anxiety, which was uncomfortable.

“Did you sleep well last night?” Fire Lady asked as she passed by Liu Binglan’s seat, smiling.

Liu Binglan’s ability to ignore others was extremely powerful; she didn’t even bother to look at Fire Lady, keeping to her thoughts.

Fire Lady’s gaze turned sharp, her voice cold: “You must have had a joyful night, City Lord Lin is indeed a fine man.”

Liu Binglan lifted her head, glanced at Fire Lady, then at City Lord Lin Xian who was walking by.

Lin Xian also heard what Fire Lady had said, pausing slightly in his steps, his eyes sweeping over two royal elders sitting on the dais, he said with a smile: “Last night, the discussion with Lady Liu about the Northern Territory was supposed to be known only to the two uninvited elders, I wonder, how did you, Fire Lady, come to know of this? Could it be that the elders visited you for an all-night talk to share this gossip?”

New Moon Land is a new power that still needs to tread carefully around the Fire Sect of the Elemental Sect.

But City Lord of Hecheng, Lin Xian, need not fear her. If Fire Lady continues to degrade herself, Chu Tianmang wouldn’t mind calling some people from the Dark Sect to obliterate her Soul Sense and throw her into the lowest brothel, letting her so-called noble body entertain those despicable men.

Fire Lady was left speechless by Lin Xian’s remarks, and the surrounding representatives looked on with interest, wanting to know if the two proud royal elders really visited Fire Lady for a “long talk” late at night.

As for the relationship between City Lord Lin Xian of Hecheng and Lady Liu of New Moon Land, the rumors had already spread. They had traveled together to Liangkun Mountain, so who couldn’t guess there was something between them? Moreover, City Lord Lin Xian had directly acknowledged it.

Knowing she was at a disadvantage, Fire Lady’s eyes swept over Liu Binglan maliciously, then she quickly returned to her seat.

After driving away Fire Lady, Liu Binglan used her Mental Sound to speak to Lin Xian: “City Lord Lin, please watch your words, I am a married woman and a mother.”

“Oh, no problem, I don’t mind,” Lin Xian said thick-skinned.

In fact, this rationale Liu Binglan used to fend off suitors and maintain her reputation might work on others, but for Chu Tianmang, it meant nothing.

A married woman? Didn’t that husband refer to him, Chu Tianmang? Although they had been separated for many years, there had never been a formal announcement of their marital dissolution.

“I mind,” Liu Binglan stated bluntly.

“Oh, then I’ll clarify,” Lin Xian said. At this point, Lin Xian suddenly remembered something and asked, “About you and Judge Xiao…”

“My daughter-in-law saved his father’s life,” Liu Binglan said coldly, displeased with Lin Xian for asking about such matters.

“Yeah, yeah, for this conference, I will fully support New Moon Land,” Lin Xian said.

“Then I thank you in advance.”

Speaking of this conference, Liu Binglan felt anxious again.

Even if Hecheng stands with New Moon Land, it merely adds a few votes and still hardly sways the overall situation. (To be continued. If you like this work, welcome to Qidian () to cast your recommendation votes and monthly tickets, your support is my greatest driving force.)
