He couldn’t perceive Di Qiong’s Realm of Returning to Truth at the Seventh Layer, mainly because of Di Qiong’s Master, Gao Wei. Gao Wei gave Di Qiong a treasure that could hide her realm. After all, Di Qiong was very young. Being at the Seventh Layer of the Realm of Returning to Truth at such a young age was too ostentatious.

Di Qiong furrowed her brows.

She felt a bit impulsive.

Unconsciously, she glanced at Su Chen, only to see him calmly eating.

To Su Chen, this was a trivial matter. Well, in any case, Di Qiong herself was at the Seventh Layer of the Realm of Returning to Truth; she could handle it however she wished. He would stand behind Di Qiong no matter what. Even if things escalated, he would bear it. He wouldn’t offer any advice to Di Qiong; she should do whatever she wished.

"Why aren’t you speaking?" The young man grew more amused, thinking that Di Qiong was scared since she stood there unmoving.

"You..." Under her veil, a trace of cold light appeared in Di Qiong’s beautiful eyes. She wasn’t one to take things lying down and, after a slight hesitation, decided to teach the other party a lesson.

However.

At that moment.

"Feng Qing, that’s enough." No one expected that Schi Yan would suddenly speak.

As she spoke.

Instantly.

The young man, who had been so amused and teasing just a second ago, named Feng Qing, turned pale. He looked embarrassed, scared, and quickly sat down, recoiling his head.

There was no choice; the Feng Family was fair enough, but it couldn’t compare to the Schi Family. Not only that, he himself was not as strong as Schi Yan. The most crucial point was, who in the Wind Province Capital didn’t know that Schi Yan was very likely to become Xu Wu’s woman in the future.

Schi Yan’s words carried weight.

"Thank you." Di Qiong turned her head to look at Schi Yan, somewhat surprised, and thanked her. Although, even if Schi Yan hadn’t spoken, she wouldn’t have been affected. Still, since the other party helped her, she naturally had to express her gratitude.

Schi Yan chuckled, nodded slightly, and then looked at Yu Yui: "Yui’er, let’s go."

The two women stood up and, under everyone’s gaze, started to leave the restaurant.

But as they passed by the table where Su Chen, Di Qiong, and Tailing Nishang were sitting, Yu Yui paused.

Yu Yui glanced at Su Chen with her beautiful face: "Hmph. And you call yourself a man? Your own woman is being targeted, and you don’t even dare to stand up and defend her? Just sitting here eating and drinking, how ridiculous."

"Alright, let’s go." Schi Yan frowned slightly. She didn’t have a good impression of Su Chen either. After all, even if Di Qiong wasn’t Su Chen’s woman, she was his friend at the very least. Yet, when Di Qiong was being targeted by Feng Qing, Su Chen didn’t say a word, acting like nothing happened, which made her uncomfortable. However, she didn’t voice it out like Yu Yui did.

Yu Yui was just like that, a bit unruly and arrogant with her nose in the air. The Yu Family was strong, and as the eldest daughter of the Yu Family, such a temperament was understandable.

"Thank you." Su Chen didn’t even glance at Yu Yui. He just looked at Schi Yan and acknowledged her, a gesture of gratitude for helping Di Qiong earlier.

Schi Yan didn’t say anything. Whether Su Chen thanked her or not, she didn’t care. She didn’t help Di Qiong for thanks anyway. She urged Yu Yui to leave.

Yu Yui, however, was somewhat unrelenting. Especially when Su Chen ignored her words, it made her feel disrespected and more upset. But under Schi Yan’s restraining gaze, she didn’t say anything too unpleasant.

"I’m sorry, my friend is a bit..." As they approached the restaurant’s entrance, Schi Yan slightly bowed and apologized to Su Chen. It was her character; she felt Yu Yui went too far and apologized, not because she was from the Schi Family but because she genuinely felt it was necessary. While apologizing, she forcibly pulled Yu Yui away.

"It’s fine." Su Chen smiled, a strange expression flashing across his lips, which looked odd to Schi Yan, though she didn’t think much of it.

Soon.

Schi Yan pulled Yu Yui out of the restaurant.

"Master, why..." Di Qiong and Tailing Nishang were puzzled; just now, when Yu Yui was acting so arrogantly, they both were about to respond. Di Qiong was even prepared to teach Yu Yui an unforgettable lesson, yet Su Chen stopped them with a look.

Su Chen smiled, not explaining, but muttered to himself that they would meet again tonight.

Outside Xiaoyao Tower, Yu Yui and Schi Yan merged into the street.

They walked a long way.

"Yan’er, why did you stop me?" Yu Yui was still upset, feeling a bit angry: "That man doesn’t deserve to be called a man, he’s just a useless weakling. Even in the Great Dao Realm, he’s cowardly. His own woman was targeted, and he didn’t even dare to make a sound. And he thinks he deserves to dine at Xiaoyao Tower? It’s infuriating! Xu Wu is a man, he’s a man; how can the difference be so vast? Just thinking about it makes me angry. If you hadn’t stopped me, I was about to give him a severe lesson back at the restaurant."

"Don’t get angry; people are different. You can’t expect everyone to be as you imagine." Schi Yan chuckled, brushing back her hair. Though she didn’t have a great impression of the young man in the Great Dao Realm, she wouldn’t voice it out. After all, he was a stranger, and it was unlikely they’d have any further interactions, probably never even meeting again, so why get upset?

"That’s true; it’s not worth getting upset over a small fry like that. I should hurry home to dress up for tonight’s banquet; there will be many fine young gentlemen there." Yu Yui quickly changed her tone, an air of anticipation appearing on her face: "Maybe tonight this girl will find a lucky young man."

"Then let me congratulate you in advance." Schi Yan teased.

Yu Yui rolled her eyes at Schi Yan. She was just saying that; it wasn’t that easy. Knowing Xu Wu because they were good friends, her standards had become quite high, often comparing other men to Xu Wu. Once the comparison was made, she found herself uninterested.

Then, Yu Yui sighed deeply: "Yan’er, I’m growing more envious of you. Xu Wu is one of a kind. Most other inept men are just as pitiful and laughable as that man."

[Chapter 5. Requesting votes. Well, starting today, updates should be better. I can’t promise the same frantic pace as October, but I’ll try to update daily. November was almost every two days, Nanjihai apologizes sincerely, due to reasons related to my hand and other factors. Moving forward into December, I’ll do my best. Watch my performance. And today, finally updated 5 Chapters. So I can shamelessly ask for some votes. The vote count has been pitifully low this past month, and the rankings have dropped so much that I want to cry. Dear brothers and sisters, please vote! All votes should go to Nanjihai, who is rolling around in the freezing snow, thanking you all.]
