"I am not your brother-in-law, and I don't have anything to do with Lin Wan." How could Yang Ze listen to her nonsense? He wouldn't accept his relationship with Lin Wan even if someone beat him to death. The only thing that worried him the most was whether Lin Wan had told Cang Yue about his physique or not.

He gazed deeply at the woman sitting in front of him, but no matter how hard he tried, he just couldn't guess anything from her smiling face.

"Oww... You hurt my feelings." Cang Yue slightly shifted her head, turning her right cheek towards Yang Ze while puffing her cheeks.

If Yang Ze hadn't seen her humiliating the two women and that murderous gaze of hers... he would have thought that she was just a spoiled young maiden.

"Help me." This time, Yang Ze didn't beat around the bush. "Help me get out of this place and I will do anything for you."

He was desperate... He could have left earlier, but Cang Yue's wanton actions messed up everything. He didn't know why she did that, but she successfully managed to mess up his chance of getting out of Heavenely Sword Sect.

He could try to escape by himself, but if by any miracle he manages to get out of the Sect, he would definitely be ambushed by the women seeking revenge for their fallen comrades.

"Oh!" Listening to his pleading, Cang Yue was truly surprised. She didn't expect him to make this request in such a humble tone. For a moment, she even felt a sense of discomfort in her heart, which quickly vanished.

"What do you want me to do?" She just raised an eyebrow.

"You can explain to them about how you were merely making a joke and none of it is true." Yang Ze's eyes lit up as he suggested it.

"Heh." Cang Yue didn't give a reply but just let out a mocking laugh while shaking her head.

"Do you really think they would care whether you are my lover or not?" She looked at Yang Ze with eyes full of pity. "They just want to vent their anger. They don't care if I am telling the truth or not. They just want to find an excuse to let out all that anger... frustration and hate in their heart."

"Do you really think my words would make any difference?"

Listening to her, Yang Ze could only let out a defeated sigh.

"No... Of course not." Muttering in a soft voice, he slumped down on the bed behind him as his gaze was fixated on the floor below.

He just couldn't understand what was even going on anymore. Since the day he came into this world, his situation was akin to a potato in a flat pan that keeps rolling all around without any signs of stopping.

Sometimes he was led around by Lin Wan, sometimes by Lin Yue, sometimes by Xiao Ruolan and now Cang Yue too.

"Hey, don't be so upset." Cang Yue immediately jumped towards him before sitting beside him.

Reaching out to his hand on the bed, she held it gently as her body leaned into his.

"I am merely protecting you."

"The Duality Sect has put up a bounty on the three of you. If you leave this sect, they will hunt you down."

Cang Yue's words brought Yang Ze back to his senses as a shiver ran down his spine. Till now, he believed that as long as he left the Heavenly Sword Sect, he would be free. He had almost forgotten about the Duality Sect.

He didn't doubt her words. After all, the three of them were present there when the sect leader of the Duality Sect chopped off Lin Wan's head and stepped into the realm of Heaven Step.

"I...."

He hesitated for a moment before replying absent-mindedly.

"Thank you."

The moment Yang Ze thanked her, Cang Yue's smile almost reached her ears. But this wasn't due to the happiness that came from Yang Ze's gratitude. Instead, it was a victory smile after her little successful scheme.

"Don't worry." She gently patted Yang Ze's back before caressing it. "Like I said... I will keep you safe."

Yang Ze didn't say a word but just nodded in response.

The last person who said these words was Xiao Ruolan, and god knows what she was planning to do with him in the future.

Now Cang Yue was saying similar words.

For a moment, he just didn't know what to think. Deep in his heart, he still resented Cang Yue for spouting such nonsense in the market. She could have simply told him about the danger. But no.. She had to go and make a scene.

And now both the Heavenly Sword Sect members and the Duality Sect wanted to kill him.

For a moment, Ynag Ze couldn't even understand how he, who was pretending to be a weak mortal, would end up in his current situation.

He didn't use his strength... he didn't show off his realm. He didn't show his face, and he didn't let anyone know about his physique. And yet here he was... somehow managed to become the number one enemy of both sects out of nowhere.

He didn't dare to imagine the scene if the truth about his physique got out.

It wasn't until almost ten minutes had passed that he asked in a soft tone.

"What am I supposed to do now?" Now that he couldn't leave the Heavenly Sword Sect, and neither could he join it, what was he supposed to do?

"Nothing." Cang Yue's hand roaming on his back never stopped. "Didn't you know, I am a Grand Elder of the Heavenly Sword Sect. I will make arrangements for you."

"You just need to stay by my side. I don't want to let down the hopes of my dead sister."

"O... Okay." Yang Ze was about to say that her sister was still alive, but immediately swallowed those words before giving her a nod.

"I..." Cang Yue was about to continue their conversation when her voice suddenly stopped, and her eyes frowned. She was about to stand up, but before she could move a muscle, the door to the house burst open, and from there, a figure in white rushed in as her hand aimed for Cang Yue's head.

"Wha!?" Yang Ze didn't even have time to react when he saw the door explode into countless pieces, and a figure attacked Cang Yue.

But there was no earth-shattering battle or fancy moves.

The attacker's hand stopped a few inches away from Cang Yue's forehead. It was trying to move forward, hoping to smash the head in its path, but it was held tightly by Cang Yue's two fingers.

"Well, well... If it isn't the little slut." Cang Yue sneered as she waved her hand, releasing the attacker's wrist while pushing them back at the same time.

From the door being smashed open to the attack on Cang Yue, and finally, Cang Yue successfully repelling the attack... Even though it takes time to explain, everything happened in the blink of an eye.

It was only now that Yang Ze finally came back to his senses and looked at the attacker, but the moment he saw the familiar face, he couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

"Xiao Ruolan?"

His first thought was that she was here to kill him, but Xiao Ruolan didn't even glance in his direction. At the moment, her eyes were fixated on Cang Yue as she circulated her internal energy, covering her right hand with it.

Cnag Yue, on the other hand, didn't put her in the eye. Mere first Vein Expansion weakling. She could easily kill her.

"What are you doing here?" Yang Ze couldn't help but ask with some worry before he remembered what Lin Yue had told him.

"I promised to keep you safe, didn't I?" Without even looking at him, Xiao Ruolan answered in a flat tone.

"Eh!" Cang Yue, who was about to smash her to death, suddenly paused as her eyes narrowed into slits.

As the newly appointed Grand Elder of the Sect, she could easily kill anyone who dared to disrespect her. Especially when the other person is not even a member of the Sword Sect and attacked her first.

She was about to obliterate this woman into oblivion when she heard what she said.

'Does she know?' The first thought that came to her mind was that this woman knew about Yang Ze's physiques. But after noticing Yang Ze's confusion and her determination that wasn't due to greed, she couldn't help but hesitate.

Killing her was no different than killing an ant, and there wouldn't be anyone to question her. In a single breath, she could turn her into a corpse, but....

Looking at Yang Ze, whose face was filled with complex emotions, worry being the prominent one, she couldn't help but put that thought aside.

Their relationship seemed unusual. And if she killed him, who knows what kind of reaction Yang Ze would have.

In that case, her plan of making him fall in love with her would come to an abrupt halt.

Cang Yue knew about his physique. She could just force him to have a physical relationship with her, but the gains from such an act would be pitiful.

On the contrary, if she managed to make him fall in love with her and then engage in a physical relationship... the gains would be unimaginable.

This was the reason why, even after so many chances, she didn't make a move against him.

She wanted to take it slow. First, make him fall in love with her and then use him to make rapid progress.

Earlier, she was willing to spend two to three years slowly winning him over.

But now...

With the appearance of Xiao Ruolan and his complex emotions towards her, she couldn't help but panic in her heart. If that slut managed to win him over...

She didn't even dare to think about it.

Gritting her teeth, she thought for a moment before suddenly letting out a smile as she raised both her hands up in surrender.

"Relax." With a gentle gaze, she looked at Yang Ze first before speaking. "You can do anything to me, but don't hurt him."

"...."

"...."

Her words caught both Yang Ze and Xiao Ruolan by surprise.

Yang Ze didn't know what to feel about it. There were two women who were doing their best to protect him. He didn't know whose side to pick.

"Hmph!" On the other hand, Xiao Ruolan just let out a cold snort.

"I am here to take him back." She didn't waste any words and directly stated her purpose.

"Back to?"

"Back to where we were living before." Xiao Ruolan replied in a flat tone.

Cang Yue thought for a moment before looking towards Yang Ze. She wanted him to make a decision.

Yang Ze, on the other hand, couldn't decide. At the moment, he was stuck between a rock and a hard place.

Seeing him hesitate, it was Cang Yue who broke the stalemate.

"How about it?" She patted her hands with a smile on her face.

"I will accompany the two of you, and we will live under the same roof."

"...." Yang Ze's eyes widened in disbelief as he heard her ridiculous request.

He even reached out to touch his face, wondering whether he was wearing the mask or not. Otherwise, why would two such extraordinary women fight for a mortal man in his thirties who was half their size?

Was his charm so strong that he could unconsciously affect women?

Or was the meaning of attractive men in this world something twisted? Something that he didn't know?

The more he thought about it, the less sense it all made.

He was about to say something, but before he could even open his mouth to speak, Xiao Ruolan made a decision on his behalf.

"Okay." Dispersing the internal energy in her hand, she immediately agreed with Cang Yue's proposal.

"Great." With a smile, Cang Yue clapped before nodding to her.

"The two you should head back. I still have a few things to do."

"I will come back after a few hours."

Xiao Ruolan didn't even nod. She grabbed Yang Ze's wrist before pulling him out of the house as the two of them made their way towards the place where they had been staying.
