Stepping on the Demoness to become the strongest-Chapter 611 - 76: A Bluff

Dragged into the bedroom by Lin Ning and Su Yunjin, Yan Yu’s initial reaction was shock, outrage, and explosive anger!

Man, it’s always the leaders who pull their secretaries into a room, when did it ever come to secretaries dragging the leader around? This is a gross violation of the Heavenly Gang, an unforgivable sin!

But on second thought, these two girls weren’t the immodest type. Lin Ning, I won’t even mention, a perfect candidate for traditional female virtue, the idea of confessing to a boy was as sacrilegious to her as trampling on heavenly laws; and Yun Jin was equally a paragon of poise and grace, having turned down countless suitors during her school days.

So, what made these two decent girls lose their senses?

Naturally, it was my unmatched charm that they couldn’t resist!

With this realization, Yan Yu’s anger dissipated. After all, tracing the problem to its root, it was his own irresistible charm that made team members completely succumb; probably any other girl would have reacted similarly in this situation.

Alright, I forgive you!

Once in Lin Ning’s room, Su Yunjin picked up the teapot beside her and asked,

"Is the water in here from today or yesterday?"

"Just boiled this afternoon." Lin Ning replied, "Do you want some tea?"

"Yeah." Su Yunjin asked, "Ningning, what kind of teas do you have here?"

"I have quite a variety of teas here... Captain, don’t you dare to leave!" Lin Ning was about to boast about her tea collection when she noticed Yan Yu quietly heading towards the door. She rushed over to grab him and forcefully dragged him to a cushion before pushing him down by his shoulders and forcing him to sit.

Seeing her anxious demeanor, Yan Yu couldn’t help but feel both amused and exasperated as he waved his hand and said,

"Alright, alright, I won’t leave. Let’s see what tricks you want to pull."

"It’s you who should come clean!" Lin Ning said indignantly, then pulled out a large tin box from the drawer, handing it over to Su Yunjin with a command, "You choose."

Su Yunjin picked out three paper cups, brewed the tea, and then put it in front of the three of them, smiling as she said,

"Now, Captain, you can talk. If your throat is dry, you can have some tea."

So they were guarding against me leaving under the pretense of "being thirsty"! Yan Yu immediately understood and, feigning ignorance, asked,

"What do you want to hear about?"

"Obviously, about you and Zhou Hongyu!" "Of course, it’s about everything that happened on your trip." Lin Ning and Su Yunjin spoke in unison, each with a different focus.

After exchanging looks for a moment, Lin Ning spread her hands and said,

"Yun Jin, you go ahead and ask."

"Captain, you said you were going to visit Ling Yun’s home, right?" Su Yunjin asked with a beaming smile, "What happened over there? And how did you end up looking for Captain Zhou? We’re both very curious."

"It’s not like there’s anything to hide." Yan Yu claimed innocence, "The main thing was that Ling Yun’s dad wanted to meet me."

"Oh?" Su Yunjin asked in surprise, "But Ling Yun said it was her mom who wanted to talk to you."

"Is that so?" Yan Yu immediately laughed, "How strange, why would she say that? Let me call her over and ask..."

As he theatrically reached for his mobile phone, Su Yunjin quickly said,

"Never mind, I must have remembered wrong, please continue, Captain."

Heh, daring to bluff me, little Yun Jin, you clever sprite, these tricks are all from my former life’s playbook, okay?

Yan Yu couldn’t help but ridicule inwardly and continued,

"After arriving at the Chen Family, her dad talked with me in his study. The main issue was about an extremely formidable ascetic that appeared in Tianzhu, a tough customer, so he asked me what should be done."

"Chen Lingyun’s dad is the Governor of Jiang Hai. He has all kinds of advisory groups; why would he need to specifically ask for your opinion?" Lin Ning expressed skepticism.

"That kind of intelligence, unless it’s leaked from higher-ups, you wouldn’t have access to it, would you?" Su Yunjin contemplated.

"That guy’s name is Ishana, and I can tell you the specifics, but you must keep it secret and not tell anyone else." Yan Yu then shared the related intelligence about Ishana with Lin Ning and Su Yunjin.

Listening to his detailed account, the two girls believed him halfway and Su Yunjin asked,

"Mhm, so you discussed official matters with Chen Lingyun’s dad, what then? Didn’t you stay over?"

"After dinner, they were indeed planning for me to stay overnight..." Yan Yu hadn’t finished speaking when Lin Ning suddenly interjected,

"Did you two stay in separate rooms, or did you share one?"

"Come on, is that even a question?" Yan Yu answered disdainfully, "The Chen Family’s place is huge; how could they possibly lack guest rooms? Do you remember that Jinling Villa was her own choice?"

Lin Ning immediately breathed a sigh of relief, but Su Yunjin, still smiling, asked,

"Captain, don’t dodge Ningning’s question. Did the two of you, stay together or sleep separately?"

"We didn’t sleep." Yan Yu replied, "After dinner, I received a message from Li Weiguo, saying Zhou Hongyu was abroad collecting Acquired Five Elements Ding Fire essence and suddenly went out of contact, asking me to check what happened."

"Why not ask the Huofeng Team?" Lin Ning was puzzled, "Isn’t Zhou Hongyu the captain of the Huofeng Team?"

"Jawa is under the Witch King’s control." Yan Yu explained, "Having the entire Huofeng Team mobilize would be too conspicuous. Lu Country isn’t ready for another confrontation with the Sorcerer Alliance Army, and they wanted to keep the situation on a scale that could be covered up."

"Besides, the other members of the Huofeng Team must cultivate as well." Su Yunjin analyzed, "If it drags on too long, it could delay their cultivation."

"There was also the intention of doing the Pingxi Army a favor." Yan Yu said, "Anyway, I arrived in Maowu City early the next morning, reviewed the relevant intelligence, and then went directly to the Thousand Buddha Temple. Sure enough, there were huge flames of Red Lotus Karma Fire around the temple, and Zhou Hongyu was trapped in the temple surrounded by the Karmic Fire, just like a beggar’s chicken wrapped in mud and lotus leaves."
