Yan Ji felt a tingle on his back.


    As he turned to look at what had caused the sensation, he noticed Yan Long glaring right at him.


    Oh fuck~


    With eyes that glared daggers at him, a snarly mouth that wanted to devour his whole being, clenched fists that want put a hole in him.


    He definitely knows...


    For avid reader of xianxia novels like Yan Ji, he knew that he could never win against Yan Long.


    Sure he was 1 realm higher than Yan Ji but....has realms ever mattered?


    Literally main characters are known for their unlimited plot armor.


    Yan Long might even breakthrough in the middle of the fight and slap him to death!


    Why would Yan Ji be hiding otherwise? If he thought that he could win, he would have just done so.


    Shen Yuexin also noticed Yan Ji''s slight hesitation and looked to where he was looking.


    Yan Long! What a strong killing intent!


    Why was it? She asked herself. What could induce such hatred?


    Still she made a promise with Yan Ji and she would do her part.


    Standing in front of Yan Ji she bowed towards Yan Long, "Mr. Yan."


    Yan Long curved his killing intent and bowed back to her. "You can just call me Yan Long. No need for formalities."


    "I''m afraid I can''t do that. Considering that Mr. Yan is just a guest. I also hope to not be addressed so casually."


    "I..."


    She was clearly drawing a line between them.


    Realizing that Shen Yuexin was protecting Yan Ji, he returned to the subject at hand.


    "Ms. Shen, do you know who that person is?"


    She thought about it for a bit. In truth, she really didn''t know. Even his name felt fake.


    Still she had her promise.


    "I do not know entirely, but I believe in my own judgement."


    Yan Ji felt a little warmth in his heart. Ever since he had transmigrated, he felt the sense of being hunted down. As if at any moment he would die.


    However, now there was someone that was actually trying to protect him.


    Thankfully I used my 2nd wish well!


    Yan Ji had a straight back and took off his 3rd rate disguise.


    Yan Long''s glare became even more prominent.

    YAN. JI!


    One of his only regret...was never finishing things with Yan Ji.


    As he got closer, Shen Yuexin grew more alarmed.


    "Mr. Yan. If you start a fight here, even if you did help us, we will have to side with Mr. Feng."


    His steps pause for a second.


    "Mr...Feng?"


    "Thats right. Mr. Feng was the one who gave you a Elixir. Otherwise, you would still be in bed laying like a dead person."


    [Yan Long....his cultivation has reached the immortal realm!]


    What!?


    Elixirs and high cultivation!?


    How was it possible? In such a short time with the assistance of his master, he was able to get this far.


    But him?


    What did he do to get them?


    No...What did he even make me eat!?


    Doubts began creeping in his mind.


    Master!


    [No worries. I''ve been scanning your body the entire time. Her words are true. Its the work of a genuine high grade elixir. One that only appears ever thousand year.]


    But why!? To mock me!? To put dirt on my face?


    The more he thought about it, the more he hated the fact that he had been saved by his worst enemy.


    [I used up the spiritual energy in our last fight and you aren''t his match. Its not a good idea to fight him at your stage. You get what I''m saying right?]


    ...I understand, master.


    "Yan Ji!" Yan Long glared at him, "Hiding behind a woman! Do you dare fight me in 3 months from now!?"


    The other disciples were in an uproar.


    "Yan Ji? He''s Yan Ji?"


    "Didn''t he cripple Yan Long?!"


    "No wonder theres so much hatred!"


    Shen Yuexin who had no interest in the outside world heard all of the gossips. Even she was surprised at the news.


    From what she could tell, Yan Long wasn''t the type to lie. It would also explain a lot of Yan Ji''s behaviors as well.


    But then why would he not have killed Yan Ji when he was immobolized?


    Sure Yan Ji had cured Yan Long since he thought that he was a disciple of the sect, but after that? He had every opportunity to harm him.


    She whispered to Yan Ji.


    "Yan Ji, as long as you say no, I can defend you. Otherwise, a legal match won''t be–"


    "I refuse!"


    Yan Ji yelled out. He knew even better that if he were to accept...Yan Long would just get buffed in the next 3 months and beat his ass!


    Would he jump into his own grave?


    No way in hell!


    Yan Long scoffed and taunted him more.


    "What''s wrong? Are you a coward!? Dare not take this challenge!?"


    Without even a moments hesitation.


    "Yeah! So what!?"


    Yan Long was taken aback at the bold response.


    "Are you going to hide here forever!?"


    "What if I do!?"


    Yan Long grinded his teeth. Unwilling to relent, he turned to Shen Yuexin.


    "Ms. Shen. Yan Ji and I have a blood debt, please don''t interfere."


    "...Mr. Yan. Mr. Feng is our honorary guest. I have to protect him."


    Yan Long eyes twitched.


    Even after hearing all of that....she still chooses to be ignorant and protect him!?


    The reason for calling Yan Ji, Mr. Feng, was to act in ignorance.


    As long as she didn''t admit that he was Yan Ji, he was Feng Yan. The other student caught on as well as they noticed her intent.


    Although they were unsure, they would still side with their young sect leader rather than with some outsider.


    Shen Yuexin''s grandfather had gained the knowledge of what happened and obviously sided with his granddaughter. He stepped forward with a hearty laughter.


    "Mr. Yan, his name is Feng Yan, how could he be Yan Ji?!"


    Disciples began to speak aloud.


    "ey! They do say that 2 people can look alike!"


    "Right! Right!"


    "He is Feng Yan! I ate dinner with him."


    "Feng Yan! You owe me 5 coins! When will you pay it back?"


    "Junior, how can you confuse black and white? He owes us 100 coins!"


    "Right! How could I forget! Senior, thank you for correcting me."


    They all acted ignorantly.


    As long as they did.


    Yan Ji was indeed Feng Yan.


    And even if the truth comes to light somehow in the future, they could simply deny that they did not know that Yan Ji was Feng Yan.


    Thus, they would have no repercussion.


    This blatant act infuriated Yan Long. It was like he was back in those days of powerlessness as Yan Long and his group of henchmen would berate him.


    "...Fine...Fine!"


    He clenched his fist until his nails were biting through his skin.


    "Since that''s the case, I''ll wait and see! I want to see how long you can stay hidden in your turtle shell!"


    The moment you step out of here, I''ll end you!


    Yan Ji squirmed behind Shen Yuexin''s figure.


    I just never have to walk out of here then!
