Chen Wentian already knew what had happened. Su Yue wore the Winter’s Sun sword everywhere and he was able to sense that bastard immortal making a move on his disciple. He only used a little bit of icy spiritual energy to block the assault. He couldn’t do much else without raising too much suspicion. It wasn’t like he could kill an immortal in the middle of the capital.

He silently apologized to Xu Lanyi and rushed across the whole of the Eastern Sanmu Metropolis. At this moment, he understood that he had to be by Su Yue’s side.

Once he entered the room, he rushed forward without a word and buried her in his arms. She was shaking badly and her emotions were spilling out.

“Master… I’m sorry…” She mumbled into his chest, half crying.

He rubbed her head and held her tighter. Lin Qingcheng gave him a cheeky thumbs up.

“Silly girl, what do you have to be sorry about?” Chen Wentian said gently, “I should have come sooner.”

She squealed incoherently and cried some more, this time happy tears. She had been afraid that he would get angry. Most men were the jealous type and would not take kindly to their women being ogled or touched others. From various stories she had heard over the years, these men tended to get irrational and place a part of the blame on the victim.

It was good that Chen Wentian was not this type of person. Or perhaps, it was lucky that he had a trusty soul that was keeping an eye out that let him witness everything. It was still uncertain how he would react in a different situation if he did not have all the facts at hand. If something bad had happened, would he trust the words of his women unequivocally or would a seed of doubt be planted?

He could not decide on how he would have reacted then. He was thankful that he did not have to face that and silently vowed to protect his disciples better. He was probably being a little too clingy and paranoid but it never hurt to be too careful!

Su Yue was mostly placated by his arrival but she kept holding onto him and pretended to cry a little longer. She felt safe in his arms, for the first time in several days. She missed his touch and Lin Qingcheng made no move to interfere. It was rare for her to get personal attention from her master and she savored it.

Eventually, they separated and able to sit down for a proper discussion. Su Yue talked about the incident as well as the past few days with Lin Qingcheng chiming in here and there.

Chen Wentian frowned, “I have not heard of this guy, Immortal Flare Osprey Chu Fengwei. He’s not a Spirit Lord of any renown in the capital but I should still do some digging and find out his background.”

Lin Qingcheng tugged at his shirt excitedly, “Master! Are you going to punish him?”

“Hmph, of course! He can’t make my Yue’er cry for free!” He said and gave Su Yue a smile.

She blushed and looked away, mumbling something incoherent. She found it hard to meet his eye, it was a strange and completely new feeling. His gaze made her fingers tremble and her stomach do summersaults.

Chen Wentian was a bit oblivious and did not notice the change in her expression. If he was truly paying attention, he would have been able to make a good guess. Wu Qianyu gave him plenty of loving looks like what Su Yue was shooting in his direction. He wasn’t that dumb, just a little preoccupied.

“But I can’t exactly go start a fight in the middle of the capital.” He said, “I will get the asshole but payback will be a patient affair.”

He turned Lin Qingcheng, “Chengcheng, I left Lanyi alone in the Old District. I need you to team up with her. I want to stay with Yue’er for a little bit.”

“Understood, master!”

“Mmm, I think I will also recall Chen Mo to give you a little more backup.” He pondered.

Chen Mo was currently in the midst of the tracking mission to uncover the whereabouts of the source of spatial bags and camouflaging special bags. It was important but not as important as the safety of his disciples.

He had an instinct about these things from years of being overly careful. His senses were starting to tingle and warned him that something might happen if he wasn’t prepared. He almost wanted to call Jasmine over but things weren’t that desperate. She was his last resort and he hoped he would not have to risk her cute little behind.

“Alright, I’ve decided.” Chen Wentian said and stood up, “I will take Chengcheng to Lanyi as well as call in some of my allies. Don’t worry girls, I will protect you!”

In a well-practiced manner, Lin Qingcheng fell into his right arm and kissed his cheek. He held out his other hand and after a moment of hesitation, Su Yue also jumped in and gave him a very sweet and tender kiss on his other cheek.

He laughed and took off out of the window with them in his arms and both cheeks tinged with rouge.

They flew across the city lazily and found Xu Lanyi in the middle of a patrol through the old city. She was with Tang Xiang who gave him a weird look.

“Greetings, Immortal Blue Dragon Chen Wentian…” She bowed, “I have to say, with respect, that it is inappropriate for a non-participant to assist in a challenge for the Golden Feather Hunt.”

“Yeah, see, I don’t care.” Chen Wentian said flatly, “This challenge sounds rather dangerous with Spirit Initiates disappearing constantly. I’d rather have my first disciple around as extra muscle.”

Lin Qingcheng flexed her skinny but toned arms behind him for emphasis. “Sister Tang, don’t worry. I promise not to interfere. Just treat me as a tourist.”

Tang Xiang frowned, “Lord Chen, are you implying that the House of Axes, as well as the House of Armament, is unable of protecting a participant in the challenge?”

Chen Wentian snorted, “I didn’t say that… but if you want to make that assumption, I won’t stop you.”

She sighed and acquiesced. It wasn’t her place to argue with an immortal. She would report this to her master and the news would eventually reach the grand sect master. But she guessed that nothing would happen due to Chen Wentian’s status. With a disciple in the first place and another in third place, the Spirit Kings were bound to look the other way for such minor things.

“Good. I will leave my first disciple in your care. If anything happens to them, I will overturn the whole capital and I am not kidding.”

“Yes, Lord Chen.”

“Bye girls.”

Chen Wentian rose into the air with Su Yue. Lin Qingcheng and Xu Lanyi waved as they returned to the River District.
