Chapter 1118: Chapter 1118: Are You Waiting for Me to Pursue You First?

Yang Yan had never been teased like this before, but times have changed, and he could only feign a breezy demeanor.

"I am a virtuous monk, my six desires have been curbed!"

"Rouge and bones, rouge and bones..."

"You tempting ladies, if you dare to bat your lashes at Yang Yan, I’ll not hesitate to give you a thrashing! Don’t think I don’t know what you’re up to!" 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

Just then, Guo Guoguo turned around sharply and threatened the group of female disciples fiercely.

"Oh dear! Guo, what’s the matter, protecting your lover? Aren’t we good sisters? Good things are meant to be shared!"

"Yes, yes! Guo, we supported you in pursuing the Saint Son back then! But now that you’ve caught him, as you have a bite of meat, let us drink some soup too!"

The male disciples of the Inner and Outer Sects feared Guo Guoguo, but these female disciples who knew her nature weren’t afraid, merrily teasing her.

Renowned as the Great Witch, Guo Guoguo rarely blushed.

She stomped her foot in embarrassment, pulling Yang Yan forward swiftly.

Yang Yan, still being pulled by the arm, could only muster the strength to keep up.

"Those are wicked women, temptresses; they’ll gobble you up without spitting out the bones. You mustn’t pay them any mind."

Guo Guoguo pulled Yang Yan to a grand mansion and stopped at the entrance, her face still flushed.

If they are temptresses, then what are you?

A super temptress?

Yang Yan grumbled internally but dared not say it aloud, nodding seriously:

"Yes."

"Glad you understand. I just want to give you a reminder, all for your own good."

Guo Guoguo, seeing that Yang Yan was genuinely convinced, stated solemnly.

Yet, her eyes showed some evasion, secretly revealing her true thoughts.

She also silently grumbled, thinking of herself as the Great Witch of the Inner Sect, Guo Guoguo, how could she fall to such a level!

"This is Hundred Spirits Mansion, my residence. You can come by often if you’re free. The Spiritual Qi here is plentiful and will aid your cultivation."

"You’ve just entered the Inner Sect, you should diligently train and never slack off, tarnishing the Ancestral Master’s reputation."

After Guo Guoguo finished her seriously nonsensical talk, she led Yang Yan directly inside.

The grand door opened automatically, and Yang Yan noticed there were several maids within.

Real maids, and judging by their aura, they appeared to be ordinary mortals.

"Guo, may I know the reason why you called me to your mansion?"

Yang Yan realized after entering that he seemed to have been duped and led here.

"No rush, no rush, follow me."

Guo Guoguo didn’t leave Yang Yan any time to respond, pulling him further inside.

Those maids watched the scene in quiet shock.

Everyone knew that Guo Guoguo’s Hundred Spirits Mansion was strictly forbidden to male disciples.

Last time, due to an urgent Task Hall mission, a male disciple was sent to fetch her.

He ended up getting his face bruised by Guo Guoguo and thrown out unceremoniously.

After this incident, Guo Guoguo’s reputation as the Great Witch spread completely.

Guo Guoguo led Yang Yan straight to a room quickly.

There was a plaque at the entrance inscribed with three ancient, vigorous characters —

Treasure Pavilion.

"Here it is, go in!"

Guo Guoguo stopped and smiled at Yang Yan, pointing at the wooden door.

"Guo, what do you mean by this?"

Yang Yan was instantly puzzled.

Did she bring him here just to show off her wealth and treasures?

"Of course, to let you in."

Guo Guoguo seemed entirely justified at this moment,

"Enter and see if there’s anything you like, just take one out."

Yang Yan was even more perplexed, frowning as he asked:

"Why?"

This witch offering him Spiritual Treasure for no reason, he didn’t think it was anything good.

Guo Guoguo saw Yang Yan’s clearly unwilling face, her lips pouting high.

She crossed her hands, grumbling angrily:

"Hey! You think your reward from the Freshman Tournament is anything good? It’s just a palace!"

"My father’s private collection is stored here, and aside from medium-grade Spiritual Treasures, there’s even a high-grade one."

"Offering you to choose one, yet you still...you still..."

Guo Guoguo suddenly choked at her words.

She stared at Yang Yan with a pitiful expression.

Being stared at made Yang Yan terribly uncomfortable, his head bowed as he quietly asked:

"What about me?"

Guo Guoguo became even more annoyed seeing Yang Yan like this, angrily said:

"You know full well, so why ask?!"

"Last time I bumped into you at Zimu’s place, I didn’t know you were the Saint Son, you never said."

"Are you just waiting for a girl to chase you? You’re such a big jerk!"

Ah-hem!

Yang Yan immediately choked, coughing violently.

"Guo, I never had such thoughts. Thank you for your kindness, but I respectfully decline."

"Well...if there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave!"

Without waiting for a reply, Yang Yan swiftly traversed a short space, ascending straight to the sky.

Afterwards, he tread on cool breezes, gradually departing.

Guo Guoguo gritted her teeth in anger, looked at the ground, then vented her fury stomping over and over.

She muttered to herself:

"Saint Son, Saint Son, Saint Son! Yang Yan, don’t think you can escape, you definitely can’t escape from this lady’s grasp. Humph!"

Ancient Abyss Sect became busy after the Freshman Tournament concluded.

Particularly, those Named Disciples were the most burdened.

The majority of the workload for organizing the sect’s grand ceremony fell upon them.

Of course, there were also some Outer Sect disciples assisting.

As for Yang Yan, having just ascended to the Inner Sect, his residence naturally moved from the Outer Courtyard to the Inner Courtyard.

Due to his unique status, the Internal Affairs Hall hadn’t yet decided on an appropriate position for Yang Yan.

Provide him with the standard Inner Sect disciple treatment?

Absolutely not!

Yang Yan was soon to be the Ancestral Master’s chief disciple, second only to one and above all others in Ancient Abyss Sect.

Grant him the Core Disciple treatment?

Clearly, there wasn’t a position suitable for Yang Yan.

Even if there was, it should be upon Yang Yan officially becoming the Ancestral Master’s chief disciple.

To avoid trouble, Yang Yan simply chose on his own, situating Butcher Palace between Senior Brother Lin Zimu and Second Senior Brother Liu Yizheng’s residences, and placed it directly on the ground, reducing it to normal size.

A medium-grade Spiritual Treasure is indeed a medium-grade Spiritual Treasure. Apart from its grand and stable appearance, Butcher Palace’s interior rooms were all inherently equipped.

Aside from a few everyday items he needed to bring inside himself, everything else was fully provided and available.

After erecting Butcher Palace, Yang Yan spent his days inside it cultivating, occasionally meeting with Lin Zimu and Liu Yizheng, discussing Dao and philosophy, sipping tea together.

Life was utterly leisurely.

Of course, he frequently faced visits from those Inner Sect disciples.

Most would bring some precious gifts.

Yang Yan saw selected few, returned all gifts, and didn’t see the rest.

Ensuring he had a tranquil place for himself.
