NOVEL ONLINE FREE Chapter 7:
Chapter 7: Senior Brother Su Chen Can Only Be Mine!:
-Holy Land. Core disciples’ area.
“What?!”
“You’re saying… Senior Brother Su Chen… carried Ye Qingxue back to the Holy Land?!”
Liu Ruyan abruptly stood up, her delicate face filled with shock and disbelief.
The teacup in her hand was gripped too tightly, causing the scorching tea to spill over, leaving a faint red mark on the back of her pale hand. But she didn’t seem to notice at all. She simply stared at the little maid in front of her, her lips trembling slightly.
She had long been accustomed to Su Chen’s devotion to her. She couldn’t accept that he would suddenly turn to another woman.
The maid trembled slightly under Liu Ruyan’s intense gaze but still nodded quickly.
“It’s absolutely true. The entire outer disciple area is talking about it! They say Senior Brother Su Chen saved Ye Qingxue in the Marsh Forest and then carried her all the way back.”
“And also…”
The maid hesitated, glancing nervously at Liu Ruyan.
“And what? Speak up!”
“Hurry up and tell me!”
A sense of unease surged in Liu Ruyan’s heart. Her voice became more urgent, though she didn’t even know why she was so anxious.
The moment she heard this news, her chest felt tight, as if something important had been stolen from her.
“And… someone saw Senior Brother Su Chen smiling at Ye Qingxue. A smile so gentle… it could melt into water.”
The maid quickly lowered her head, afraid to look at Liu Ruyan’s expression.
“Crash!”
The teacup in Liu Ruyan’s hand finally shattered under the pressure, falling to the ground in pieces.
“No… impossible…”
“This is absolutely impossible! How could Senior Brother Su Chen have a change of heart?”
Liu Ruyan felt as if the maid was telling some ridiculous joke.
Su Chen had always been so devoted to her.
He had never paid attention to any other woman besides her.
And now, he was carrying Ye Qingxue?
How could he possibly smile at another woman?
Hadn’t he always loved only her?
Suddenly, Liu Ruyan’s expression froze.
Could it be…
Could it be that he really had changed?
No!
Her heart felt as if an invisible hand was gripping it tightly, making it difficult for her to breathe.
She couldn’t accept this.
From a young age, she had always been the center of attention, adored by everyone around her.
She had believed that as long as she lowered herself a little, Su Chen would inevitably come back groveling and apologizing.
That was why she had deliberately ignored him these past few days, waiting for him to come to her first.
Yet not once had he appeared.
She had even considered going to find him first.
But now, he had actually carried another woman back?!
The more she thought about it, the more wronged she felt. A layer of mist appeared in her beautiful eyes.
All she had done was reject him a few times.
She had been testing him!
Su Chen was supposed to keep chasing after her.
And when she finally relented, wouldn’t he be overjoyed?
She refused to accept this!
She refused to lose Senior Brother Su Chen just like that!
She had gotten used to his affection.
“Ling’er, tell me, what should I do?”
Liu Ruyan grabbed Zhao Ling’er’s hand tightly, as if clutching onto her last hope. Her voice was filled with helplessness and despair.
Zhao Ling’er looked at Liu Ruyan’s pitiful expression and secretly felt pleased.
Her chance had come!
However, she maintained a look of concern, gently patting Liu Ruyan’s hand and comforting her softly.
“Ruyan, don’t worry. Maybe Senior Brother Su Chen was just confused for a moment. I’m sure he still cares about you.”
“Really?!”
Liu Ruyan lifted her head, her tearful eyes looking at Zhao Ling’er, her voice filled with doubt.
“Of course, it’s true.”
Zhao Ling’er nodded firmly, then leaned closer and whispered into Liu Ruyan’s ear.
“Men are like that. The harder it is to get something, the more they want it.”
“Think about it—didn’t Senior Brother Su Chen used to follow you around, obeying your every word?”
Liu Ruyan thought back and realized… it was true.
“Exactly.”
Seeing that Liu Ruyan was wavering, Zhao Ling’er continued, “The reason he’s treating Ye Qingxue so well right now is because you rejected him. His pride was hurt, so he’s deliberately trying to make you jealous. He wants you to go back to him first.”
“Really?”
A spark of hope ignited in Liu Ruyan’s heart.
“Of course! Have I ever lied to you?”
Zhao Ling’er spoke with absolute certainty.
“Then… what should I do?”
“I don’t want to lose Senior Brother Su Chen yet…”
“Ling’er, you have to help me.”
Zhao Ling’er gently patted her hand again.
She leaned in close, whispering a few words into Liu Ruyan’s ear before smiling.
“Don’t worry. As long as you do what I say, I guarantee Senior Brother Su Chen will come back to you.”
“Hmm, Ling’er, thank you! I knew you were the best!”
“Alright!”
“I’ll go find Senior Brother Su Chen right now.”
“I’ll be nicer to him.”
“I’ll show him that he doesn’t need to be so childish.”
“Honestly.”
“Senior Brother Su Chen can be so childish sometimes.”
Liu Ruyan gratefully held Zhao Ling’er’s hands, her face finally showing a trace of relief.
She was convinced that as long as she followed Zhao Ling’er’s advice, she would definitely win Su Chen back.
After all…
Senior Brother Su Chen had always been obedient to her.
And this time would be no different.
He was hers.
Only hers.
He could only belong to her.
He had to.
He must!
“Hee hee…”
