In a high-level martial arts game, a wife is given to you at the start.

Chapter 467 Liu Ruyan's Refusal

Meanwhile, inside the spacious and luxurious living room of the hillside villa.

Lin Qiye led the still somewhat reserved Chu Fengling to Bai Muxi, who was holding her child and basking in the sun.

"Mu Xi, this is Feng Ling."

Lin Qiye's words were brief and unadorned, but his attitude was very frank.

Bai Muxi raised her head and her gaze fell on Chu Fengling.

Although she was mentally prepared, her heart still trembled slightly when she actually saw the senior student.

However, she quickly composed herself, a gentle and dignified smile appearing on her face, and took the initiative to speak:

"Are you Sister Chu? Please have a seat."

That one word, "sister," was both appropriate and generous, instantly establishing her composed demeanor as the hostess.

Upon hearing this, Chu Fengling quickly waved her hand, adopting a very humble posture, her tone tinged with a hint of flattery:

"No, no, Bai... no, you're too kind. Just call me Feng Ling. In terms of seniority, you are the one who came first... I'll have to learn a lot from you in the future."

One woman was gentle and graceful, while the other was humble and obedient. On the surface, everything seemed calm and the atmosphere could even be described as harmonious and pleasant.

But Lin Qiye knew exactly what was going on.

A woman's thoughts are always hidden beneath the surface of a turbulent sea.

This delicate balance and relationship cannot be fully resolved in just a few words.

Instead of forcibly intervening, it's better to let them process and adjust on their own.

As long as things don't go wrong at home, he's happy to see this healthy competition and coexistence.

Just then, the terminal on Lin Qiye's wrist vibrated.

This broke the slightly delicate atmosphere.

It was a short message from Xiao Ruoshui.

[Ruoshui: Deputy Chief Lin, regarding the follow-up to the Abyss Fall incident, the Tribunal needs to obtain a detailed transcript of your statement. Considering your status, if it's inconvenient for you to come in person, they can arrange for a specialist to provide this service. When would you be available?]

Lin Qiye glanced at it, and as he left, he tapped his finger to reply:

[Lin Qiye: No problem, I'm at the villa halfway up the mountain. They can come anytime. By the way, have you finished investigating the others who came with me, like Liu Ruyan, Zhan Mingna, and the twin sisters?]

Xiao Ruoshui remained silent for a moment, seemingly checking relevant files.

About a minute later, the reply popped up again:

[Ruoshui: Since Liu Ruyan entered and returned with you, she doesn't face the risk of prolonged stay in the Abyss, and all her test results are normal, so she can be released from quarantine today. As for Zhan Mingna and the Lu sisters, they have lived in the Abyss Cleansing City for several years, and their minds are at greater risk of long-term erosion by the Abyss's will. They need to undergo more in-depth examinations and psychological evaluations, which will likely take some time.]

Lin Qiye: Okay, I understand. Follow the rules.

Just as I finished my conversation with Xiao Ruoshui, the terminal rang urgently again.

This time, it was a video call request.

Looking at the familiar name flashing on the screen, Lin Qiye's lips curled into a playful smile.

connected.

The holographic projection unfolded instantly, and Liu Ruyan's aloof and stunning face appeared in mid-air.

The background appears to be in a dormitory at Wuhan University.

She had just finished showering, her hair still slightly damp, yet it couldn't hide her innate air of arrogance.

"I'm out."

Liu Ruyan's voice remained cold and detached, revealing little emotional fluctuation.

Lin Qiye looked at her and asked casually, "How was it? Did those people in the courtroom give you any trouble? Did you suffer any injustice?"

Liu Ruyan shook her head and said calmly, "No, it was just a routine inquiry. That Vice Judge Chen... seemed very polite to me, probably because of you."

Mentioning this, Lin Qiye smiled and was about to take the opportunity to tell her about his current change in status.

Liu Ruyan spoke first, her tone tinged with complexity: "No need to say anything, I heard from my sister... you're now the vice president of the Ten Schools Alliance, and also the first vice principal of Galaxy Martial Arts University?"

"I never expected that you would rise to such heights in just a few days."

Lin Qiye raised an eyebrow, and the image of Liu Ruyan's younger sister, Liu Rushuang, came to mind.

"Looks like your sister's got pretty good connections." He smiled and casually extended an invitation, "Since you're out, I'm at the villa halfway up the mountain now, moving into our new house. Would you like to come over for a get-together?"

Liu Ruyan glanced deeply at Lin Qiye through the screen, then snorted coldly and turned her head away.

"I'm not going."

"I just wanted to let you know I'm out, that's all."

"Hang up."

The moment he finished speaking, the holographic projection vanished instantly, giving Lin Qiye no chance to stop it.

Looking at the black screen, Lin Qiye shook his head helplessly and chuckled softly.

"That temper... she really is that aloof empress of the academy."

But he didn't care.

Anyway, Liu Ruyan already has one.

Soon, she will come to find him.

……

Meanwhile, at Wuhan University, in Liu Ruyan's dormitory.

Liu Rushuang sat cross-legged on the sofa, holding a bag of snacks in her hands, staring at her older sister in disbelief.

"Sis...you're really gone like this?"

She looked incredulous.

As her younger sister, how could she not see the changes in her older sister after she returned from the abyss?

In the past, my sister would have dismissed Lin Qiye with disdain.

Now, when Lin Qiye is mentioned, my sister may be stubborn, but the complex emotions in her eyes are impossible to hide!

The two of them went through life and death together in the abyss for so long, something indescribable must have happened!

"That Lin Qiye is now a vice-commander! He's a real powerhouse!"

"He invited you out, and you rejected him so decisively?"

Liu Rushuang couldn't help but lean closer and ask gossipy, "Sister, you're really not going? This is a great opportunity to assert your dominance!"

Liu Ruyan turned around, glared at her sister with annoyance, and said coldly:

"What am I supposed to do there?"

"Go face his wife who just gave birth? There are definitely other women... I know him very well..."

At this point, a hint of disdain and arrogance flashed in Liu Ruyan's eyes:

"Hmph, you want to be emperor?"

"Keep dreaming!"

After saying that, she threw the towel in her hand and turned to walk out the door.

Seeing this, Liu Rushuang quickly threw down her snacks, jumped off the sofa, and chased after him.

"Hey? Sis, where are you going so late?"

Liu Ruyan didn't turn her head, her voice clear, cold, and firm:

"Cultivation!"

"Only strength truly belongs to you!"
