"Didn't we already know this was a trap before coming?" Ji Lingfeng said with a smile, as he brandished his long sword.
"Although I admire Yun Qi, as a fellow aristocratic disciple of the Xuan Sect, I have my own pride. I don't want to rely on her for everything," Ji Lingfeng continued, glancing back at Lin Jingchen. "You're the same, which is why you agreed to act alone."
Lin Jingchen was silent for a long time before he spoke: "Actually, I just don't want to disgrace my mother's lineage. People are always shocked and fearful when they mention her, but as her son, it seems I've always been a protected waste."
"That's not entirely true. I've heard Yun Qiuce mention your demonization; it's terrifying."
Lin Jingchen wished he could cover his face. Why does Yun Qiuce have to tell everyone everything—so gossipy!
His demonization... it's obviously embarrassing!
