The reason Tang Yue had such a guess in her heart was entirely because Lin Chen helped Lingling awaken her Spirit; based on her understanding of Lin Chen, it was impossible for him to help an outsider awaken their Spirit.
"How old is Lingling? Lin Chen, are you even human?" Tang Yue cursed silently in her heart.
Although she had suspicions, Tang Yue still gave Lin Chen enough face in front of outsiders.
Tang Yue looked at Lin Chen with a smile and said, "Leng Qing is a good person. If you can, please help her!"
Tang Yue was not speaking without reason, nor was she favoring outsiders. Lin Chen had previously mentioned to her his idea of promoting the Spirit throughout the country.
So, sooner or later, Leng Qing would also awaken her Spirit, and Leng Qing's character was good, she was reliable. It wouldn't hurt to do her a favor now.
Leng Qing heard Tang Yue's words and looked at her with some surprise. Although they were colleagues, they were in a competitive relationship privately.
Women, when together, always compare with each other, especially strong-willed women; passive aggression is even more common.
Leng Qing naturally knew that Tang Yue had long awakened that unknown power. Previously, in her opinion, Tang Yue was inferior to her in every way, but she didn't know when it started, Leng Qing vaguely felt that her strength was already weaker than Tang Yue's. Tang Yue's change was only understood after she discovered Lingling possessed this unknown power recently; she realized that it was all Lin Chen's doing.
Therefore, the gap between Leng Qing and Tang Yue was just a Lin Chen.
However, what Leng Qing couldn't understand was why Tang Yue chose to help her when Lin Chen was acting shamelessly.
"Since Yueyue has said so, of course, I have no problem. Come with me!" Lin Chen said to Leng Qing.
Tang Yue's persuasion did not come as a surprise to Lin Chen. Lin Chen had no intention of backing out, he just didn't want to help Leng Qing awaken her Spirit so easily. He didn't like people who casually pry into others' secrets.
Upon hearing this, Leng Qing's expression brightened considerably. She nodded slightly and followed Lin Chen into an empty room.
…
When they reappeared in the living room, Leng Qing had already completed her Spirit awakening.
As Lin Chen expected, Leng Qing, like Lingling, awakened the Clear Sky Hammer, but her talent was not as good as Lingling's; her Soul Power was only at level seven.
"For the specific cultivation method of the Spirit, just ask Lingling!" Lin Chen said, glancing at Lingling.
At this moment, a smile finally appeared on Lingling's face. Seeing that Lin Chen was not angry with her, she also breathed a sigh of relief.
"Don't worry, I'll teach Big Sister!" Lingling said with a smile.
Lin Chen smiled slightly and said, "Lingling, during this time, please gather information about the Zhuo Yuan North Corner of Dunhuang. I received news that there is a fire-attribute Heaven and Earth Sacred Spirit there—Yan Ji!"
Upon hearing this, Tang Yue's face broke into a brilliant smile. Lin Chen had previously agreed with her to let her Summoning系 contract Yan Ji. After so long, Lin Chen had made no moves, but now it seemed that the time was simply not right before.
"Dunhuang? Zhuo Yuan North Corner? Yan Ji?" Lingling repeated Lin Chen's words, her eyes instantly flashing with a gleam. Based on her understanding of Lin Chen, she was now 100% certain that Lin Chen would not be angry with her because of Leng Qing's matter.
At the same time, her heart was incredibly excited!!!
Dunhuang is one of the oldest places in Huaguo, and it is also one of the oldest demon habitats, where countless ancient bloodline demons live!!!
Many legends circulating among the people originated from there.
Now that she could finally experience the legendary Dunhuang herself, Lingling was naturally overjoyed.
"When are we going?" Lingling asked excitedly.
"No rush. You collect the information first. Once we have information on Yan Ji, we'll decide when to go!" Lin Chen said.
"Okay! I understand!" Lingling agreed without thinking.
She glanced at Leng Qing, then looked back at Lin Chen and said, "Then there's no time to lose, I'll go back and gather information right away!"
Lin Chen nodded and glanced at Leng Qing. Leng Qing awkwardly nodded to him and Tang Yue, then left Lin Chen's house with Lingling.
"Bang…"
After Leng Qing and Lingling had completely left, Tang Yue looked at Lin Chen playfully and asked, "Be honest, what's your relationship with Lingling?"
"What relationship could I have with her?"
Tang Yue's sudden question left Lin Chen bewildered.
Tang Yue narrowed her eyes, scrutinizing Lin Chen, trying to judge from his expression whether he was lying to her.
"Then why did you help Lingling awaken her Spirit?" While scrutinizing him, Tang Yue's words rang out again.
Upon hearing Tang Yue's words, Lin Chen finally understood.
"What are you thinking?! How old is Lingling? How could I possibly do something so dirty!" Lin Chen immediately explained. This old woman actually thought so lowly of him? He, Lin Chen, was indeed a playboy, but he wasn't that desperate!
"Actually, I value Lingling's abilities. Lingling has a very strong talent in computer science. Let me put it this way! Lingling is a genius in this area. Before, I teamed up with Lingling to do missions in Magic City…" Seeing that Tang Yue was still skeptical, Lin Chen began to explain patiently.
He told Tang Yue everything that had happened between him and Lingling, including Lingling's background and tragic experiences.
"I didn't expect Lingling to be so pitiful, losing her father at such a young age!" After Lin Chen finished explaining, Tang Yue slowly spoke, her charming eyes filled with maternal love.
"That's why I decided to help her improve her strength and give her something to look forward to!" Lin Chen nodded and said.
Tang Yue snorted coldly and said, "Even if there's nothing going on between you and Lingling, that doesn't mean you're innocent. Who knows how many flowers you've picked and how much grass you've messed with outside!"
Feeling Tang Yue's jealousy, Lin Chen chuckled and walked directly in front of Tang Yue, picking her up in one swift motion.
"Ah… What are you doing? Put me down quickly!" To avoid waking Lin Yue, Tang Yue tried her best to lower her voice, calling out with a face full of panic.
However, Lin Chen did not respond but strode towards their bedroom.
…
The next morning, as the first rays of sun rose, warm sunlight streamed through the window cracks, illuminating the bedside. Lin Chen slowly opened his eyes, groggily looking at the sleeping beauty in his arms. He gently withdrew his arm.
"Hmm…" No matter how light his movements were, the beauty was still awakened by him. Tang Yue rubbed her eyes, letting out a soft murmur.
At this moment, Lin Chen had already sat up and put on his clothes. Tang Yue, seeing this, frowned slightly and asked in confusion, "Aren't you going to sleep a little longer?"
