About half an hour passed.
Lin Lianyi's expression returned to normal.
However, a blush still lingered on her face, giving the first impression that she had just done something unspeakable.
After Chen Fan removed the poison from his body, he sat to the side and meditated.
*Hoo…*
In a short while, his condition was fully restored.
Just as Lin Lianyi opened her eyes, she found herself lying perfectly still, her clothes completely untouched, and she was momentarily stunned.
This…
Even after she had used some subtle means, he still hadn't touched her? How was this possible?
To be honest, if she hadn't experienced it herself, she wouldn't have believed it!
After all, in her previous state, she was like a prize ready to be snatched!
"Awake?" Chen Fan said.
Lin Lianyi paused for a moment, then replied awkwardly, "Awake... I just woke up!"
"Why... why am I here!"
"This is..."
Chen Fan said, "You were poisoned. I came to help you detoxify!"
Lin Lianyi countered, "How did you detoxify me?"
Chen Fan glanced at Lin Lianyi and then asked, "It seems you knew you would be poisoned?"
Lin Lianyi's heart skipped a beat. She quickly waved her hand, "How... how could I possibly know I would be poisoned? I'm not a celestial being?"
"Right, what kind of poison was it!"
Chen Fan observed Lin Lianyi for a moment, then didn't press further. "It's good that you're awake. Those things are not important!"
"What do you think?"
"This..." Lin Lianyi was taken aback. She was feigning ignorance while knowing the truth.
"I... well, what you're saying does make some sense!"
As she said this, she didn't realize she had been cleverly outmaneuvered by Chen Fan.
She didn't even want to know about the poison?
Either she already knew in her heart,
Or she was the one who orchestrated it…
Chen Fan looked at Lin Lianyi with a stern gaze and said calmly, "If I'm not mistaken, you approached me deliberately, didn't you!"
"Ah, I..." Lin Lianyi was once again taken aback. She hadn't expected Chen Fan to be so perceptive, revealing the truth in just a few words. He continued, "Although you pose no threat to me, I still want to know, what for?"
Lin Lianyi dared not meet Chen Fan's gaze.
She stood frozen in place.
So, Chen Fan already understood everything…
In the end, it was she who felt embarrassed!
Unable to hold back any longer, Lin Lianyi slowly said, "I... I was sent by my master to get close to you and take you as a son-in-law for our Hundred Flowers Sect!"
"This way, our Hundred Flowers Sect can further elevate its status in the martial arts world!"
"Of course, the most important reason is to ask for your care for my master, as the journey to Kunlong Island carries certain risks!"
She spoke the truth.
As the saying goes, sincerity is always the ultimate weapon.
"I... I didn't mean to deceive you!"
"I..."
Chen Fan was slightly speechless, shaking his head. "You people are truly bored. You overthink things!"
"And you, do you know that if the poison had been even slightly stronger, all your meridians would have been destroyed?"
Lin Lianyi lowered her head, extremely embarrassed, her face still a little pale.
She sighed inwardly, wishing she could find a hole to crawl into.
Damn…
This…
It was truly unspeakable!
Alas…
Lin Lianyi, despite being a cultivator at the Intermediate Realm of the Transformation stage, who would have thought she would ever be in such an awkward situation!
"I'm sorry, I... I am truly sorry!"
"I... I know I was wrong!"
