My Pretty Campus Queen

Chapter 972 - 970: Beauty Appears Again

Cheng Yiyi smiled and said, "Because I belong here from the start."

"Are you saying... the Five Elements Sect is your home?"

Chen Tianlong never expected that the beauty he saved on the road would turn out to be the young lady of the Five Elements Sect.

Cheng Yiyi nodded, and Chen Tianlong immediately reacted, taking a sharp intake of breath, followed by a bitter smile.

Who would’ve thought, at such a time, he’d run into an acquaintance.

"You’re Chen Tianlong?"

Cheng Qianjin had been observing for a while, and now seeing Chen Tianlong in person, with elegant features and a dominating aura between his brows, he took a deep breath, knowing this person was not simple.

He had long heard of Chen Tianlong’s affairs with the Lin Family in Ice City. Although strictly speaking, his side wouldn’t have any interest in Ice City, Cheng Qianjin was still very concerned about everything that happened there.

The reason was simple; there was someone in Ice City he must pay attention to, and that was Bing Ruxue.

Bing Ruxue, with her innate Snow Element inheritor constitution, had refused Cheng Qianjin’s invitation for a visit.

"Yes, you must be the Sect Leader of the Five Elements Sect, right? Nice to meet you!"

Upon meeting, Chen Tianlong immediately noticed Cheng Qianjin. Seeing this man with extraordinary presence, sharp brows, and stern eyes, obviously, he wasn’t an average person.

"Yes, it’s me, Cheng Qianjin."

Cheng Qianjin didn’t hold back; he was straightforward and spoke his mind.

Chen Tianlong thought for a moment and directly said, "Sect Leader, could we possibly stay for a night? The three of us haven’t eaten or slept for a whole day and night."

Hearing this, Cheng Qianjin was immediately surprised. Not eating or sleeping, yet still able to break the array—this person really was remarkable. Without hesitation, he decided and said, "No problem, I’ll have someone arrange it."

There was no issue, as his daughter had already expressed that Chen Tianlong was an honored guest and had passed his test.

However, Cheng Yiyi was a bit puzzled. Early on, for the benefit of the Five Elements Sect, her father agreed to a marriage alliance with the Qilin Tribe, intending to marry off his daughter. Fortunately, there had been some trouble recently in the Qilin Tribe, with Thunder Marquis’s second son, Thunder Wolf, seemingly injured.

Funny enough, a tunnel star-level person leading 5,000 troops had been repelled by a young man, Chen Tianlong. It was truly pathetic to think about.

If Chen Tianlong was willing to stay in the Five Elements Sect, he’d really be willing to marry off his daughter to him.

Ten minutes later, Chen Tianlong and the other two were allocated three rooms. In Cheng Qianjin’s eyes, the two women weren’t Chen Tianlong’s girlfriends, and his daughter was the main focus.

These past two days had been exhausting. Even though it was just noon now, after eating, the three started sleeping, only waking at five in the afternoon.

Just as Chen Tianlong was about to sit up and meditate, he heard a knock on the door.

"Come in!"

Chen Tianlong said lightly, as anyone coming to find him would either be Shen Yan, Lu Xiaoyu, or Cheng Yiyi.

Sure enough, as Chen Tianlong expected, Cheng Yiyi walked into the room wearing a white sheepskin coat. Seeing Chen Tianlong, her pretty face turned slightly red.

The feeling when seeing Chen Tianlong in this situation was different.

Previously, outside, she always felt she was just a fleeting acquaintance with Chen Tianlong. But with his sudden appearance, she realized he wasn’t just a passerby but a destined person in her life.

So Cheng Yiyi was unwilling to easily let go of this fate and intended to continue.

"Chen Tianlong, why did you come here this time?"

Though Cheng Yiyi really hoped Chen Tianlong came specifically for her, that seemed unlikely. Who would visit a girl and bring two beautiful women along? Moreover, Chen Tianlong didn’t know who she was or where she lived.

The only clear explanation was that Chen Tianlong came here by chance, or rather, fate!

"It’s like this: I came to find a friend, but accidentally entered the Forbidden Land of Ice Spirit Sword Manor and got chased. Luckily, I escaped to your place."

Chen Tianlong spoke truthfully, every word genuine, with no lies.

After hearing this, Cheng Yiyi frowned. She knew the Ice Spirit Sword Manor; the people there were very strong, much stronger than those in the Five Elements Sect.

Her father, Cheng Qianjin’s power was only four stars of Celestial Dao, while the Ice Spirit Sword Manor was five stars, and they had several four-star experts.

Overall, the Five Elements Sect was weaker than the Ice Spirit Sword Manor. However, they were unique, having many Heaven-defying arrays that ensure those who come don’t leave, so she wasn’t too worried.

"It’s fine; dare they come to our Five Elements Sect and cause trouble, they’ll eat their words," Cheng Yiyi said with a cold smile.

The two paused, then Cheng Yiyi suddenly pouted and said, "Chen Tianlong... I’m about to get married, what should I do?"

Cheng Yiyi intentionally brought this up; there was indeed a marriage arrangement, but the person she was engaged to in the Qilin Tribe was no longer viable and could be canceled anytime, except that she was afraid the Qilin Tribe would come up with other ways to trouble them.

"Getting married? So young, who are you marrying?"

Chen Tianlong was taken aback, then casually commented.

"But it’s inevitable—that women have to get married eventually. I’m getting married..." Cheng Yiyi said, testing the waters.

"Haha, then congratulations! But honestly, you’re such a good girl, not only beautiful but kind-hearted. Whoever marries you will be truly blessed," Chen Tianlong chuckled and said.

At this moment, Cheng Yiyi seemed to hear the sound of her heart breaking. Hearing these words from others would be a blessing, but hearing them from Chen Tianlong made her burst into tears.

Chen Tianlong looked up, initially expecting that Cheng Yiyi would be embarrassed and blushing, but instead, she was crying overwhelmingly, which left him bewildered.

What’s going on? Did I say something wrong? They’ve only met twice!

Chen Tianlong was a bit at a loss and quickly went over to help Cheng Yiyi wipe her tears.

"Hey... Yiyi, right? Why are you crying?" Chen Tianlong couldn’t help but ask.

"I... I don’t like him and don’t want to marry him, but my father, he previously arranged the marriage. I really don’t want to marry!" Cheng Yiyi confessed tearfully.

Chen Tianlong was stunned; if she didn’t want to marry, then don’t marry, why cry in front of him? Suddenly, he thought, "What’s this girl implying by telling me these things, does she want....."

Though this girl was pretty, sexy, and very likable, Chen Tianlong had too many troubles on his mind.

Let alone other matters, even dealing with Shen Yan and Lu Xiaoyu in the next room was an issue. Now Cheng Yiyi was adding to the mess, leaving Chen Tianlong unsure what to do.

"Chen Tianlong, if I told you I fell in love with you at first sight, would you believe me?" Cheng Yiyi suddenly asked.

Some people need many years to develop feelings when they meet, while others can’t forget after just one encounter. Cheng Yiyi was the latter type.
