Chương 70: The Reasons I Fight

Inside the pristine white hospital room.

Lin Shuxuan stepped forward and pinched Ye Lingyue's cheek.

"Ouch, that hurts."

She muttered something but did not resist.

Seeing this, the senior from the Ye family was furious and was about to say something when Ye Yun whispered a few words in his ear.

"Is he really that good at fighting?"

The two discussed in hushed tones.

Lin Shuxuan pulled at Ye Lingyue's face, leaving a slightly red mark, and scolded her:

"You've grown quite temperamental, and you still dare to be a rogue ninja! Look at this bowl of chicken soup I simmered for you for four hours and say it again."

Although Ye Lingyue didn't understand what "traitorous ninja" meant, she understood Lin Shuxuan's tone; her face showed sadness, but she still turned her head away.

Seeing this, Senior Ye said in a low voice: After learning that Lin Shuxuan was very good at fighting, his attitude unconsciously became much more obsequious.

"Don't waste your energy, Lin Shuxuan. What good is your fighting ability? Ye Lingyue's injury costs tens of thousands of credits. Without the support of our Ye family, her path to cultivation will be cut short!"

Knowing that Lin Shuxuan was a formidable fighter, his imposing manner unconsciously weakened considerably.

"roll!"

The two of them rolled away.

At this moment, only he and Ye Lingyue remained in the room.

"Is what that person said true?"

Ye Lingyue shook her head, then received a sharp tap on the head. She rubbed her head and nodded again.

Lin Shuxuan squinted:

"So, why didn't you tell me?"

A long silence followed, then Ye Lingyue whispered:

"I know you're saving money, so I don't want to hold you back because of this."

Lin Shuxuan didn't say anything more.

Humiliation, unparalleled humiliation... He recalled the days before the opening ceremony took effect; although he had endured much ridicule, what he found most unbearable was his sister Chen Yi's distrust.

Despite being haunted by that strange phone call, he stubbornly refused to say anything, and even in the end, he simply found a room to quietly wait for death.

This distrust from his closest relatives was an absolutely unacceptable humiliation for him!

As for the taunts from others, they sounded no different from the barking of stray dogs on the street.

He had assumed that since he and Ye Lingyue were friends, she would at least rely on him a little more. He never expected that when trouble struck, she would just bury her head in the sand like an ostrich...

"But it will cost a lot of money..."

Ye Lingyue added weakly.

"Speak quickly."

Lin Shuxuan waved his hand, and Ye Lingyue had no idea about his savings. He won the Battle. net competition and also won a large sum of money from the Tang family; his savings had reached a terrifying figure.

A full 50, 000 credits!

"I need 30, 000 points..."

That's really expensive... Lin Shuxuan felt a pang of regret. No wonder Ye Lingyue was so generous before, giving him an expensive wristband; it turned out she was waiting for this.

Without this money, he wouldn't be able to afford the deep cave materials he so desperately wanted, making it impossible for him to reach the transcendent realm. It would also make it difficult for him to defeat the armed geniuses of the Nine Clans in the deathmatch base.

You should know that he was already at a disadvantage against Zhou Tianyuan back then.

Tang Qian's strength is probably not much weaker than that Zhou guy's.

"So, you can't get the Ye family's support by competing with me?"

The Ye family's attitude reveals their true intentions. No wonder, the Ye family even has businesses on Tianbang Star. They controlled the Star Hotel back then and could even refuse to entertain members of the Nine Clans.

Despite being the most talented descendant of the Ye family, Lingyue did not receive the corresponding investment.

I just had to follow him through the competitive dungeons, feeling miserable.

Ye Lingyue nodded:

"It's the family's idea; they want me to team up with someone from their clan, and I don't want you to spend that extra money."

She paused, then cautiously added:

"Even if you spend this extra money, you still can't beat those people..."

It seems that losing to Zhou Tianyuan back then left a very bad impression on Ye Lingyue.

He thought for a moment:

"I've been studying the map of the Deathmatch Base lately. Even if it doesn't accommodate Daotu, I still have a way to beat those guys."

Ye Lingyue's small mouth opened slightly, clearly disbelieving.

It should be noted that Lin Shuxuan's current martial arts cultivation level is already at a disadvantage against the top geniuses of the nine clans. Furthermore, the opponents will bring weapons into the deathmatch base, doubling their combat power.

How could he possibly win against his opponent under these circumstances?

"If you don't believe me, just watch the broadcast. I only have one question for you: do you want to team up with me?"

Ye Lingyue nodded and shook her head at the same time.

"Give me the management privileges later, I'll go pay the bill and change the access control system while I'm at it, so that not just any Tom, Dick, or Harry can get in."

"oh."

Her little finger pointed to the chicken soup Lin Shuxuan had brought: "Can I drink that?"

As she turned, the white sheet slipped off, revealing Ye Lingyue's slender feet. In the sunlight, the skin on her feet was as translucent as jade porcelain.

Noticing Lin Shuxuan's gaze, she quietly pulled her feet back under the covers.

"Don't forget who you are right now!"

Lin Shuxuan offered a reminder.

Ye Lingyue obediently lifted the blanket at her feet.

You can't believe such a coincidence, I just happen to have a mouth... Lin Shuxuan got up and left the ward, preparing to pay the bill.

As she closed the door, Ye Lingyue asked again, still worried:

"Can you really beat them, even if they don't accept the Daoist path? Does the money I spent on you really have no impact whatsoever?"

"You'll find out when the game is broadcast."

The impact is significant; his plan, which he had been preparing for nearly a month and a half, now has to be completely changed.

Without reaching the Transcendent Realm, he would be somewhat inferior to the top juniors of the Nine Clans, not to mention that they would be entering the arena fully armed.

The gap in strength could be terrifying.

However, he does have a way to win.

We just need to plan this out carefully.

Even so, he insisted on helping Ye Lingyue pay her medical expenses.

Why did he embark on the path of martial arts?

What is the purpose of fighting with others?

Perhaps it was the humiliation of debt collectors coming to the door, perhaps it was the helplessness of her aunt's meticulous calculations, perhaps it was Chen Yi's excessively pitiful maturity, or perhaps it was her uncle's humble bowing and scraping.

He simply wanted everyone around him to live a carefree and happy life.

Ye Lingyue was also his friend, so it was nothing to do for a friend.

Otherwise, what would be the point of his cultivation all this time?

However, this is also very strange.

The core of the Dao path should be the most resilient organ in the body of a transcendent realm expert. How could it possibly break so easily?

Since Ye Lingyue was cut on the arm by the ecological toxin, she has not fought again.

Under such circumstances, it would be even less likely that such a serious injury would occur.

This matter itself is highly suspicious.

Lin Shuxuan thought of the secretive force that had been targeting him since the beginning of Xinhai City.

From instigating lawsuits to prevent him from participating in the competition, to subsequent posts that slandered him, and now to the inexplicable serious injury suffered by Ye Lingyue.

After the match, I need to ask Ye Lingyue carefully... Lin Shuxuan left the hospital.

Since Ye Lingyue cannot participate in the battle and his path does not accommodate him, he has to rethink his tactics.
