To be honest, Su Chen hadn't expected Ling Yao to take such action.
Since arriving, Su Chen had been incessantly provoking the two from Shengyi Gate, all with the aim of the final duel!
By doing so, even if Shengyi Gate harbored anger, most of it would be directed at him and not at Lingyue Palace!
If he merely misled the opponent into believing he and Ling Yao had an intimate relationship without the final duel, Shengyi Gate might very well vent their anger on Lingyue Palace!
Although Su Chen bore hostility towards Shengyi Gate, he wouldn't drag Lingyue Palace into this mess!
That's why he had always intervened when Ling Yao and Liu Yin were about to speak, hoping they wouldn't make any statements!
Things were indeed progressing as he had expected; now, the two from Shengyi Gate focused their attention entirely on Su Chen!
But with Ling Yao throwing out the sword, the situation shifted, drawing the conflict onto herself and Lingyue Palace!
