Chapter 153 – Frame someone and shift the blame

"Lin Jichen."

At this moment, Chen Yuan walked over.

"I dropped a Mysterious Grade Fist Cultivation Spirit Skill. Since you didn't die, you must have picked it up. Please return it to me."

Chen Yuan was extremely frustrated. It was bad enough that Lin Jichen had caused his death, but the red-haired Grand Elder he had painstakingly defeated had dropped two Mysterious Grade items, one for him and one for Chu Hongling.

Chu Hongling hadn't lost anything, but he had.

Even though he couldn't use the Fist Cultivation Spirit Skill, he had planned to sell it at the Honest Auction House to earn some Spirit Stones or exchange it for a Sword Cultivation Spirit Skill.

Who would have thought that before he could even warm up to his treasure, it would be taken from him?

It was the only Mysterious Grade item he had.

"What Mysterious Grade? What Spirit Skill? I didn't see anything," Lin Jichen said, puzzled.

Chen Yuan's face darkened immediately, and he said in a deep voice, "Lin Jichen, what you're doing is not right. I was the one who worked hard to defeat the red-haired Grand Elder, and you didn't lift a finger. Now you're just going to keep it for yourself? That's not fair."

"I really didn't see it. Why don't you believe me?" Lin Jichen said sincerely.

Suddenly, he seemed to remember something.

"Oh, after I was blasted, I was unconscious for a while before I came out. When I came out, I saw a shadow rummaging around your Soul Burial Mound. I wanted to stop him, but he ran away as soon as he saw me."

Chen Yuan was half-convinced and asked, "Who was it?"

"I didn't see clearly because the hall had collapsed, and there was dust everywhere. I only saw that he was holding a bronze-colored knife."

Chen Yuan believed him, angrily saying, "Was it Dang Jinchuan?"

"I don't know. I told you, it was all dusty, and I couldn't see clearly," Lin Jichen said regretfully.

Chen Yuan believed most of it. The more ambiguous the statement, the more real it seemed.

Besides, he and Chu Hongling had only met Dang Jinchuan for the first time during their temporary cooperation, but they had already seen through his character.

Greedy and selfish, he wouldn't lift a finger without benefit, and he would run faster than anyone when there was danger.

It was entirely possible that he had come back to steal the equipment.

"Damn it, I'm going to settle this with him right now!"

Chen Yuan, furious, grabbed his sword and went to find Dang Jinchuan.

As soon as Chen Yuan left, Lin Jichen took out the skill book and handed it to Ren Lan.

"Take it."

Lin Jichen still hadn't realized the seriousness of the situation.

Jiang Luoyu looked at him with a mix of grievance and anger, saying, "Little Chen, do we really have to be so clear-cut between us?"

Lin Jichen was taken aback, then awkwardly laughed, "My bad, my bad. I take it back. Just give me a set. We're so close, no problem, right?"

Jiang Luoyu's mood brightened, and she immediately retrieved a complete set of Heavenly Dao Foundation materials from the guild warehouse, handing them to Ren Lan with a beaming smile.

Ren Lan, though frustrated, had no choice but to accept them.

This round, the woman won. Hmph!

But she wasn't too concerned. After all, she lived with Little Lin every day, so they had plenty of time together.

Wait!

What would she do when her vacation ended?

And Little Lin said his sister was coming soon. Would she have to move out early... She didn't want to leave...

Just as Ren Lan was lost in thought, a woman in a red dress walked over gracefully.

The woman's cheeks were white and delicate, with a slight blush. Her amber eyes were clear and pure, exuding an innocent yet alluring aura.

Her red dress swayed, revealing a slender and well-proportioned figure and a waist that could be easily grasped.

Her plump, cherry-red lips were sexy and enticing, exuding a natural charm.

But up close, she also had a mystical, zen-like quality, giving the impression that she could only be admired from afar, not desecrated.

Such a woman, both alluring and sacred, would be the center of attention wherever she went.

This was none other than Chu Hongling, who had been at the peak of the Ten Thousand Poison Sect.

As Chu Hongling walked, she attracted countless heated gazes from male players. Many men even looked like drooling pigs, wishing they could pin her down and ravage her.

Chu Hongling walked straight to Lin Jichen, making both Jiang Luoyu and Ren Lan wary.

In terms of looks, they were not inferior to this woman at all, but their temperaments were different.

Jiang Luoyu was noble and elegant, while Ren Lan was bright and sunny.

Chu Hongling, on the other hand, was seductive and enchanting, with a touch of forbidden purity.

This kind of woman was the most tempting to men.

They were wary because they feared that Lin Jichen, a nineteen-year-old novice, wouldn't be able to resist such a woman's charms.

Even Guo Jie had managed to captivate him. How could he resist this woman?
