Chapter 7194 Binding Contract

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

Zhao Yue and the others were all stunned by Ling Yun's sudden humble appearance. This woman truly was skilled. She was able to control her emotions so well that they couldnt see or feel even the slightest trace of anger or resentment. Despite clearly being outraged just a few moments ago, she was able to act with perfect calm and composure. This kind of control was something they could not reach.

Long Chen, meanwhile, was not surprised. Anyone who could grow up within a savage environment like that had to have some skills. In fact, Ling Yuns arrogant act had definitely been intentional as well. She had been testing out the High Firmament Academys attitudeor, rather, she was testing out Long Chens attitude. If Long Chen hadnt proven himself even more arrogant than she was, she would have continued her provocation. She might have even attacked him directly.

Since the show of might was done, Long Chen allowed her to continue. Come in!

Ling Yun and the two elders, as well as the other disciples, were clearly acting differently the second time. After entering, they all bowed deeply.

After bowing, Ling Yun said, I have come to transmit the sect masters orders. Miao Yin is the Music Maestro of the Heavenly Sound Sect. But you have taken her as a maid. This matter relates to the face of the entire Heavenly Sound Sect. I ask that you be charitable and release Miao Yin. Please go ahead and state your conditions. The Heavenly Sound Sect will definitely satisfy whatever requests you have!

Although Ling Yun was acting much more humble, her tone was still arrogant.

However, Long Chen didnt mind. That was because just now, his roar had contained a large amount of karmic luck that came from the academys formations.

After the initial moment of shock, Ling Yun and the others had immediately figured out that he had relied on his position as dean to suppress them. After all, the first academy had already started merging with the karmic luck dragon manifestation, and a huge amount of karmic luck was at Long Chens fingertips. For them to be suppressed by that immense power was only natural.

Long Chen didnt expose his true power to them. He let them guess. In any case, his goal had been achieved. After all, he was at the academy now; if the other side was merely disrespectful to him, it wasnt appropriate for him to simply kill them.

He directly rejected the request. Miao Yin became my maid because of a bet between us. Heaven and earth bore witness. The stakes were set and cannot be changed now.

As if expecting this, Ling Yun immediately said, In that case, the Heavenly Sound Sect will not force things. But, Dean Long Chen, you must know that Miao Yin is our Music Maestro. According to the sects rules, she must participate in the competition for the position of Music Grandmaster

Long Chen immediately realized their true goal. He said, Miao Yin is my maid, but not my slave. She has the freedom to do what she wants. Whether or not she wishes to participate in that battle is up to her. You shouldnt be asking me!

This time, Ling Yun was surprised. Miao Yin had freedom? Even knowing that someone like Long Chen would disdain lying to her, she still found it hard to believe. Miao Yins talent lay in her support abilities, and anyone whose hands she fell into would hold onto her tightly. As long as she was present, they could make continuous breakthroughs. That could be considered a fortune to any person or force. How could she be free to do whatever she wanted?

Ling Yun stared at Miao Yin in confusion. Miao Yin returned her look coldly. You dont need to waste the effort. Your heaven-peering art cannot see through my spirit, and you shouldnt judge the young master according to your petty standards. The young master did not place any spiritual seal on me. Our agreement was based on honor!

Clearly, Ling Yun had tried to use a secret art to see if Miao Yin was under Long Chens control, but Miao Yin had noticed it instantly.

Big sister, dont misunderstand. I am simply worried about you! Ling Yun simply smiled calmly. After all, as someone elses maid, if you end up losing your maidenhood, your cultivation base might just be taken as a dowry!

Miao Yin had long since gotten used to Ling Yuns viciousness, so she simply sneered disdainfully. But killing intent flashed through Long Chens eyes. Clearly, Ling Yun knew that Miao Yin trained in a special cultivation technique that required her to remain chaste. If Long Chen was not an upright person, she would be in danger. In fact, even if he was an upright person, that did not guarantee anything. Even the greatest gentlemen might not be able to resist Miao Yins charm; every aspect of her being seemed made to turn the noblest person into a wild beast.

Although Ling Yun spoke casually, the truth was that she was incredibly vicious. If Long Chen did break Miao Yins chastity, she would be half-crippled, and Long Chen would also carry the name of a black-hearted villain. The entire High Firmament Academy would be affected. In fact, even if Long Chen didnt do anything, just by spreading some rumors, Ling Yun could achieve the same result. At that time, it wouldnt matter what Long Chen said.

BOOM!

Suddenly, starlight erupted out of Long Chens body. A terrifying pressure rose. This was different from the sound wave from before; this time, all the pressure was concentrated on Ling Yun.

She was caught off-guard and instantly forced to her knees, and her knees directly shattered under the pressure. Blood sprayed out of her mouth. She had not expected Long Chen to suddenly act so violently.

I dont like killing women, but that doesnt mean that I wont squash an annoying bug if it keeps pestering me. If you cannot keep control over your mouth, I dont mind returning your head in a sack to the Heavenly Sound Sect! declared Long Chen coldly.

The two elders hastily tried to help Ling Yun, but she still felt like her body would be crushed under this pressure.

A dragon manifestation appeared behind Long Chen. This was a projection of the karmic luck dragon manifestation. In front of the entire academys karmic luck, even these two elders were merely ants.

Dean Long Chen please spare my life I made a mistake Ling Yun struggled to even beg.

She couldnt believe it. How could the one in charge of the High Firmament Academy be someone who couldnt even control their own emotions?

In Ling Yuns eyes, Miao Yin was just one of Long Chens pawns. How could a chess player lose control because of one pawn? As someone who grew up in the Heavenly Sound Sects cruel environment, she could not understand that there was something in this world called lovesomething that could make even the most composed person go crazy at any moment.

Naturally, she was not aware of the place Miao Yin occupied in Long Chens heart. In fact, not even Long Chen himself was fully aware, but even so, how could Long Chen not be enraged when she insulted Miao Yin in front of him?

Miao Yin looked at Long Chen and saw veins throbbing on his temple. He looked as if he was indeed ready to squash Ling Yun like a bug, and she was shocked. How could Long Chen suddenly go berserk?

Suddenly, her heart skipped a beat and her face suddenly flushed slightly as she understood why Long Chen was acting like this. She instantly thought back to Zi Yans words when she fought Feng Xingliethat she had to be careful to avoid being injured. Right now, she wasnt even injured, yet just a few insulting words had been enough to make Long Chen go crazy.

Having grown up in the Heaenly Sound Sect, Miao Yin was more than used to insults like this. But seeing Long Chens murderous expression, a sense of warmth she had never felt before rose deep within her heart. Though her expression returned to its usual calm, when she looked at Long Chen again, there was something new in her eyes, something that had never been present before.

The terrifying pressure disappeared. Ling Yun gasped for breath. She was painfully aware that she had never been this close to death in her entire life. The two elders by her side were also pale as paper. They had just found out that they were basically ants in front of Long Chen.

Within the High Firmament Academy, he was backed by the academys immense karmic luck. He was essentially an unmatched existence. They had underestimated the High Firmament Academy far too much.

Ling Yun carefully took out a scroll from within her robes and opened it.

Three months from now the battle for the Music Grandmasters position will begin. This is the binding contract!
