Dashing Student Chapter 1343: Reconciled

Trapped between the gaze of two women, Chen Nan felt his heart wrestling with indecision, though his choice had already been made.

He pulled away from Liu Hanyue and placed himself in front of Ning Yu. Master, everything from before has been cleared up; there was no need for you to track me down, he stated firmly.

How can you say that? It was a simple misunderstanding. I never intended to use you as a scapegoat, yet you refused to grant me a moment to explain, Liu Hanyue replied, her voice laced with deep hurt.

Chen Nan didn't soften, his tone turning icy. I trust my own instincts, and I have stated before that I have many close female friends. If you cannot accept that, it is for the best that we part ways amicably.

Without waiting for a comeback, he grabbed Ning Yu and turned to leave.

Parting amicably? You think what I have set my eyes upon can just be snatched away by others? Since you prefer to play it hard, then I shall discard my restraint, she declared.

As the final word escaped her lips, she outstretched her slender hand. A surge of potent Heaven and Earth Power coalesced into a colossal spectral hand, grasping hold of Chen Nan instantly.

He found himself unable to break free; the force behind her Sixth Level of Nascent Soul Realm Cultivation was simply beyond his current capacity to contest.

Ning Yu’s expression flickered with panic as she pleaded, Master, forced affection bears no fruit. Do you truly intend to coerce Jue Mingzi?

What of it? Even if it is forced, I will ensure the bond lasts! Liu Hanyue responded with a sharp scoff, immediately taking to the skies while dragging Chen Nan along with her.

Deng Yunhe and his companions emerged from the shadows, watching the distant silhouette vanish into the clouds. With a impressed click of his tongue, he offered a thumbs-up. I must say, Elder Hanyue’s temperament is truly bold.

I have witnessed plenty of men snatching women, but this is a first—seeing a woman snatch a man, another chimed in.

Enough of that! Ning Yu snapped, though her own heart was racing with anxiety; she feared that Chen Nan might never return.

Yang Xiaotian strolled over to the group, a chuckle escaping his lips. Rest easy, the two are merely caught in a lover’s squabble. No harm will come of it. Is that boy your partner as well? He certainly leads a lucky life.

Master... Ning Yu hesitated. Despite knowing of his many female acquaintances, she had not anticipated him being abducted in such a manner, especially since it was clearly against his will.

Haha, do not worry. I will see to it that they calm down, Yang Xiaotian said with a reassuring smile. The alliance has prepared rewards for all of you, and we shall assist in removing your Soul Locking Talisman. You are welcomed to remain here; the Righteous Alliance will not hinder your departure should you wish to leave, but Jue Mingzi remains with us.

With those words, Yang Xiaotian produced the necessary talismans and distributed the rewards.

Elsewhere, Chen Nan was hauled deep into the encampment, deposited within chambers reserved for those of the Nascent Soul Realm, surrounded by protective arrays to ensure complete privacy.

As he was thrown to the floor, Liu Hanyue straddled him, her voice trembling with frustration. Why do you refuse to acknowledge me? I told you it was a mistake! If you doubt my sincerity, I will go kill Chen Panshi this very instant!

Observing her genuine distress, Chen Nan began to suspect he had indeed jumped to conclusions, though the initial aggression had been overwhelming. Master, you are a Nascent Soul True Man, why are you so fixated on me?

Upon hearing this, her eyes reddened. I, Liu Hanyue, have never pursued a man in my life. You are the only one I have ever chosen. How can you ask why I hold on? Should you not be taking responsibility for me?

Chen Nan’s resolve faltered. I have already warned you that I have many women in my life. You saw them. I know you cannot bring yourself to accept that, which is why we are not suited for one another.

Whether we are suited is not a choice for you to make. As for those other women, I will find a way to accommodate them, Liu Hanyue replied with a cold huff.

Why put yourself through this? Chen Nan sighed, feeling utterly defeated.

I am beyond caring. In the eyes of the entire Righteous Alliance, you are my husband. Now you wish to shirk your duty? It is far too late for that. Let us focus on starting a family! She grabbed him, and trailing a wake of light, they vanished into the depths of the room, slamming the door shut with a fierce gust of wind.

Both were beings of tremendous Cultivation, possessing bodies far more resilient than those of common mortals. Their struggle lasted for three full days and nights.

By the fourth morning, Liu Hanyue emerged from the room looking thoroughly satisfied. She glanced backward at a weary Chen Nan, a smirk playing on her lips.

Indeed, my husband is truly peerless. But I must endeavor to improve our domestic harmony; I cannot have my husband harboring resentment, she mused.

After a moment of thought, she stepped out, only to return shortly after dragging a bewildered Ning Yu with her.

Master, what is the meaning of this? Even if it means my death, I will not forsake Jue Mingzi, Ning Yu declared, fearing the worst.

Cease your worrying, little sister. I have no intention of harming you; my husband would be devastated if I did. Come, let me introduce you to him, she said, ushering the girl inside.

Husband, look at the prize I have brought you, she announced.

Lying on the bed, feeling more drained than any battle he had ever fought, Chen Nan looked up in shock at the sight of the timid Ning Yu.

I was blinded by my anger earlier, husband. Do not be upset. Here, I have brought sister Ning Yu to us. Let us both serve you, she urged, beginning to discard her robes and pulling an initially hesitant Ning Yu into their intimate circle.

What followed was an intense, blurred half-month of passion, testing the limits of Chen Nan’s physical and mental endurance.

Finally, a voice called out from beyond the array to shatter the cycle. Jue Mingzi, I know you are within! Show yourself and face me!

Chen Nan grasped this interruption like a lifeline, lunging for his garments and sprinting out, ignoring the melodic, mocking laughter of the two women who had, by this point, grown remarkably close.

Outside the courtyard, he encountered a man dressed in scholarly robes, his tall frame and tied-back hair radiating an aura of insufferable arrogance.

So you are the infamous Jue Mingzi? Do you honestly expect us to believe you defeated two Golden Core Realm Great Perfection practitioners? the newcomer sneered.

Chen Nan felt his irritation rise, his expression chilling. Who are you, and what is your business here?

The scholar offered an arrogant smirk. Nothing of importance. I find the rumors regarding you to be highly suspicious. Such a feat is impossible for one like you, so there must have been some trickery involved. I suspect you are nothing but a fraud, and I am here to expose you. Defeat me, and only then will I recognize your standing.

Chen Nan looked at him as if he were insane, curling his lip in silent disgust.

Who in the world do you think you are? Why on earth would I need your validation? Get lost!
