"Lin... Lin An, how did you become like this!" Chu Nan was immediately shocked when he saw Lin An in this state.

At this moment, even Kui Guang helplessly reminded, "This Lin An is a daughter, why can't she wear women's clothing!"

Lin An lifted her skirt, did a twirl, and said, "What, do I not look good like this now?"

After she spoke, she smiled charmingly, exuding extreme allure.

Chu Nan still found it hard to believe, his once close brother had suddenly turned into a woman, how could anyone else accept this?

"It's hard to believe, since you're a woman, then why did you disguise as a man before?"

Thinking back to Lin An's big beard in the past, Chu Nan guessed it must have been to conceal her true gender.

And for so long, he never noticed.

Lin An sighed and said, "After my Red Phoenix Battle Body was taken, that Huo Lingjun still didn't want to let me go and attempted assassination several times."

"I didn't dare stay in the Cyan Profound Mansion, so I disguised as a man and hid in the peripheral Qing Mountain Commandery until I heard Huo Lingjun broke through to the Divine Illumination Realm, and felt I was no longer a threat, only then dared to return."

"Also, my name isn't Lin An, my real name is Lin Yian."

Although Lin Yian is the daughter of the Mansion Master, Huo Lingjun comes from a Strong Race in the Imperial Capital, not someone Lin Haoyang dared provoke.

They had no choice but to avoid.

Chu Nan instantly understood, but his gaze towards Lin Yian still felt peculiar.

It took a long while for him to accept it, but he didn't know what to call her next.

"Lin Yian, so Zhang Baitian invited you because..."

Lin Yian replied, "You must've guessed it, Zhang Baitian has been pursuing me for a long time, especially after knowing I lost the Red Phoenix Battle Body, he became even more reckless. Part of the reason I left the Cyan Profound Mansion was because of him."

"But now things are different, my Red Phoenix Battle Body has been restored, and my cultivation is advancing rapidly. I've come this time to cut ties with him once and for all, to stop his wishful thinking!"

Immediately after, Lin Yian leaned against Chu Nan and said, "If Zhang Baitian loses his temper later, I'll be counting on you."

Chu Nan stepped back, creating distance between them, and said, "Don't worry, I'll be the first to object if Zhang Baitian dares harm you!"

...

Cyan Profound Post House, one of the most luxurious and splendid inns in Cyan Profound Mansion.

Whether they were local to the Cyan Profound Mansion or visiting Martial Artists, almost everyone would stay at the Cyan Profound Mansion.

Here, those at lower tiers needed only a few coins to stay, but for the highest tiers, even a piece of Origin Stone wouldn't suffice!

That night, Zhang Baitian spent a hundred thousand gold to book an entire floor, preparing to host Lin Yian.

Those accompanying him were Zhang Baitian's current allies in the Cyan Profound Martial Academy, some even stronger than him.

However, these people were there to bolster Zhang Baitian's momentum, helping him win over Lin Yian that night and become Lin Haoyang's son-in-law.

With this identity, Zhang Baitian could not only win the beauty but also elevate the Zhang family's power further, potentially nibbling away at the Lin family, and becoming the new controller of Cyan Profound Mansion!

"To think it's here, much grander than last time at the Cyan Profound Banquet in the Cyan Profound Post House." Chu Nan couldn't help but exclaim as he gazed at the building in front of him.

But Lin Yian disdainfully said, "It's just for show, let him book the whole pavilion if he dares, watch it bankrupt him!"

Her tone was full of disdain for Zhang Baitian.

Under Lin Yian's lead, Chu Nan went to the floor where Zhang Baitian was hosting the banquet.

Just before reaching the stairs, they saw a burly Martial Artist squatting at the entrance of that floor, checking whether newcomers were eligible to attend the banquet.

Chu Nan noticed this person and his expression slightly changed because he had seen him before, it was Xie Long, a Martial Artist at the fourth level of the Yang Wheel who followed Zhang Baitian.

"Chu Nan, are you here to attend the banquet too?" Xie Long soon noticed Chu Nan, frowning immediately.

Back then, Chu Nan had severely injured him with Demon Beast corpses, a grudge he had always harbored.

Chu Nan sneered, "I'm brought here by someone, of course I should attend."

Before coming, Chu Nan was ready to fall out with Zhang Baitian's faction, so he naturally wouldn't be polite to Xie Long.

After all, with Xie Long's level of cultivation, it's simply too weak in Chu Nan's view, a casual kick could make him realize his own insignificance.

"You want to attend the banquet?" Xie Long showed a disdainful expression and said, "Chu Nan, you're a lowborn from the Commandery City, you have no qualification to attend Senior Zhang Baitian's banquet, you can leave!"

Xie Long's face lit up with pride, there were many people in the Cyan Profound Post House, and this matter quickly drew the attention of many people.

If he could drive Chu Nan out publicly, it would definitely embarrass him greatly, Xie Long wanted to make Chu Nan lose face!

Lin Yian slightly frowned, then said angrily, "This banquet was hosted by Zhang Baitian solely for my invitation, am I not allowed to bring someone?"

Xie Long's eyes brightened immediately upon seeing Lin Yian, being from the Cyan Profound Mansion, he surely recognized her but wasn't intimidated.

Xie Long felt that by sticking with Zhang Baitian, whose family wasn't weaker than the Mansion Master, and given Lin Yian had once been a wastrel without her special physique, he naturally had no fear.

So Xie Long said, "Senior Zhang invited only you, not Chu Nan, therefore today only you can enter, and Chu Nan has no such privilege!"

Upon hearing this, both Chu Nan and Lin Yian looked angry.

But apparently, Lin Yian had a worse temper, she rushed directly to Xie Long and slapped him hard in front of everyone.

Even though Xie Long was at the fourth level of the Yang Wheel, he couldn't withstand a slap from Lin Yian with the Red Phoenix Battle Body.

With a crisp "pa" sound, a clear palm print was left on Xie Long's face, and his body almost knelt.

Flashing anger in his eyes, Xie Long yelled, "Lin Yian, you dare hit me!"

Lin Yian snorted and said, "I'll hit you as I please, Zhang Baitian's dog dares to block my person!"

"Do you really think you can bite people as you wish just because you're Zhang Baitian's dog?"

Lin Yian scorned Xie Long, she despised such minions relying on others' power.

Seeing this, Chu Nan couldn't help but laugh silently, he realized Lin Yian seemed more aggressive now in her restored female form, not afraid to stir trouble.

Xie Long was trembling with anger, but he dared not act, resorting to impotent rage, "Lin Yian, wait until Senior Zhang sees you later, he will surely make you suffer!"

At this moment, Zhang Baitian himself, hearing the commotion, came over with a frown, "Xie Long, what's happening?"

Zhang Baitian, dressed in splendid battle robes that evening, looked even more dazzling under the lights.

Xie Long, seeing Zhang Baitian, became excited and said, "Senior Zhang, Lin Yian actually wants to take Chu Nan to the banquet, and hit me when I disagreed!"

He hoped Zhang Baitian would get back at Lin Yian and Chu Nan for him!
