章 19: Leaving for the expedition
Alan skipped the Holy Orchid Institute for the next two days. He wasn't interested in the class related to inscriptions. He didn't know much about that topic and felt that it would be better to utilize that time while getting used to his transformed state.
From his underlings, Alan heard that Nie Li showed off a bit in the inscriptions class and accused the Sacred Family of copyright infringement of their inscription patterns.
Alan let out a sigh as he felt that this accusation could very well be true. Even if he was in the class, Alan couldn't have countered Nie Li over this.
'It seems that the Sacred Family has committed all sorts of crimes. Is there really no one to assess the authenticity or what? Just what are those officials in the City Lord's Office doing?'
In fact, this was what Alan would have done if he had been in the classroom. He would have brought down the City Lord with the Sacred Family.
If he did that, Alan was sure that Nie Li would stop since going after the Sacred Family would mean going after City Lord's Family. And the City Lord's Family was his little lover's family.
Nie Li going after the City Lord's Family would be akin to creating a crack in his relationship with Ye Ziyun!
It would also be a perfect opportunity for Alan to swoop in and turn Ye Ziyun against Nie Li.
Thus, to prevent all this from happening, Nie Li would definitely not go too far. But unfortunately, the die had been cast.
'Whatever. I can't just keep on saving a sinking ship. She already has a good impression of me. Moreover, I can use Ning'er to keep meeting her again.'
Alan also had the Enchanting Smile as an option, but he decided not to use that on Ye Ziyun. Zila mentioned that if he used the Enchanting Smile to seduce a woman, he would gain a burst of points, but after that, he won't ever gain a Celestial Point from that woman.
Ye Ziyun was a chicken that laid golden eggs. Using an Enchanting Smile on her would be killing that chicken.
Besides, Alan could always use Enchanting Smile if he felt that the situation couldn't be salvaged.
Alan arrived in the library and met up with Chen Linjian. Chen Linjian greeted him with a smile, which Alan returned back.
Ye Ziyun seemed surprised to see him and asked, "Shen Yue, I didn't know you were coming too."
"I can say the same about you," Alan responded coolly.
"Chen Linjian asked me to come, and I was a bit curious to see those Ancient Ruins, so I agreed," Ye Ziyun explained with a smile. Her cheeks were burning as she gazed at Alan. It had only been a few days since she last saw him, but he seemed to have changed.
He had become much more handsome. So much so that her heartbeat quickened as she gazed at him.
But she quickly whispered to herself, 'I can't do this to Ning'er. She really likes him.'
This worked like a mantra, and Ye Ziyun managed to control her raging emotions. But other girls couldn't control themselves as they squealed in delight while throwing themselves toward Alan.
"Young Master Shen Yue, I love you."
"You are so handsome, young lord Shen Yue."
Two women suddenly came forward, trying to hug Alan. But Alan dodged their attempts rather easily as he jumped back.
He ordered them with a glare, "Get back."
"…Yes," These women could only give up as they faced that glare.
Soon, the final individual arrived. It was none other than Nie Li. Nie Li glared at Alan as he spoke, "So, you are also coming."
Alan rolled his eyes upon hearing those words.
Chen Linjian soon led them out of the Glory City. Their group numbered thirty-one individuals and was of average strength.
According to the survey corps, there was no danger on the way, so Chen Linjian's party could be considered sufficiently strong.
The guards easily let them go out, and they were soon on their way to the Ancient Orchid City Ruins.
Along the way, Nie Li tried to start his conversation with Ye Ziyun repeatedly, but it would end rather soon. The reason was rather simple. Because Ye Ziyun would soon get lost in thoughts while gazing at Alan's face.
Even a blind man would see that she was extremely attracted to Alan's appearance. Well, the 100 Charm and the Absolute Beauty Skill were definitely working.
'Those 5000 Celestial Points were well spent.'
[The Host gains Ye Ziyun's attention. Reward: +500 Celestial Points.]
[Nie Li gets jealous of Host's charm and for gaining Ye Ziyun's attention. Reward: +500 Celestial Points.]
These notifications repeatedly occurred while they were on their way. The notifications only stopped after it was nighttime, and the group planned to get some rest.
However, it seemed as though only Ye Ziyun had gone to rest. Nie Li quickly got up and went somewhere.
Alan noticed that Nie Li was still rather close and didn't get up. He just used his Spiritual Senses to keep track of Nie Li.
After cultivating for a few hours, Nie Li returned to his position to get some rest.
The next day repeated except for a slight change. Huyan Lanruo approached Alan and tried to strike a conversation with him.
[

Title: Member of Huyan Noble Family

Huyan Lanruo was one of the sexiest and most beautiful girls Alan had seen in this world. She was the most developed one after Shen Xiu. She seemed rather bold as she was wearing a top that revealed a lot of her cleavage.
Alan had noticed her gaze the day before. He knew that she was familiar with Shen Yue, but purposely didn't try to talk to him earlier. This was because Shen Yue was the one who initiated nearly all their conversations. She probably thought it would be the same this time as well.
But Alan planned to deal with her in a different manner.
