Chapter 1113 Lover's Bridge(2)

"Since you are here, reminiscing about him, you probably still miss this guy." Su Yang said a moment later.

"No, I don't miss him one bit, nor am I here to reminisce about him." Chun Hua shook her head. "I am here because I made another promise here with someone else."

"Really? I wouldn't want to return to this place after the first incident if I were in your shoes." Su Yang chuckled.

"That's what I thought at first, too, but this guy... He's a troublemaker, but he's dependable. I hated his guts at first, but I grew to love him even more than my first partner."

"I assume he's still in this sect?"

Chun Hua pondered for a moment before nodding with a bright smile that showed off her beautiful white teeth, "Something like that!"

"Anyway, enough about me. What about you? How are you going to become a Core Disciple? It's not as simple as passing an assessment, you know that, right?"

Su Yang nodded and said, "Yes, I know. I am going to beg the Sect Leader to let me take the assessment."

"W-what?" Chun Hua's eyes widened, her mouth agape with disbelief.

"I didn't know you were that friendly with the Sect Leader..."

"I'm not, but I will get to know her once we meet."

"That's ridiculous. Do you think the Sect Leader is an easy woman or something?" Chun Hua asked with a frown on her face.

"Of course not, but I do think she wouldn't want to let go of a talented disciple like me."

"What a narcissistic thing to say..." Chun Hua shook her head.

"But I am not wrong, am I?"

"Okay, I admit you have potential, but you still shouldn't be so arrogant. Anything could happen. For example, the God of Pleasure's sudden death."

"What a specific example." Su Yang smiled.

"We are in the Boundless Yin Yang Sect, where he became a real man, after all."

"Now, that is a bold claim. Where did you hear such information?"

"Does it matter where? It's probably true, anyway."

Su Yang merely shook his head inwardly.

Su Yang chuckled and said, "I have suspected your identity since you led me to the Fiery Yang Cave."

"I really have no idea what you're talking about."

"Is that so? Then so be it. I'm a little tired after the Inner Court disciple assessment, so I will take a break for several days. Once that break ends, I will start going out of my way to—"

"Why?" Chun Hua suddenly interrupted.

"What do you mean?" Su Yang asked with a genuinely puzzled face.

"Am I really not trustworthy in your eyes?"

Chun Hua had a pained expression for some reason.

"When have I ever said that?"

"You're treating me like a stranger despite everything we've been through."

"You make it sound like we've been to hell and back together, but we've known each other for less than half a year. That said, I definitely consider you as a friend."

"Are you protecting yourself, or are you trying to protect me?"

"..."

Su Yang remained silent.

"Is that so? Forget it." Chun Hua turned around and flew away the next moment.

Su Yang stared at her disappearing figure and sighed, "Is the Sect Leader onto me? Why am I not surprised?"

He also left shortly later.

After leaving the Lover's Bridge, Su Yang went to visit Elder Yao.

"What do you want now?" Elder Yao immediately frowned at his sudden appearance.

"I came here today to thank you for what you've done for me during the Yang Qi King submission. Without your help, I probably wouldn't have been selected as the Yang Qi King, and now that I am an Inner Court disciple, I wonder if you need help with anything."

"..."

After a moment of silence, Elder Yao slammed the door in his face.
