### Chapter 1721 — Time To Return
The gathering continued for a while.
Laughter echoed around the table.
The expensive red wine had already warmed everyone's mood.
Then—
Yang Lin slowly placed his glass down.
His gaze swept across everyone.
And calmly said—
"It's night now."
"Let's return to our rooms."
The moment those words appeared—
Daji's beautiful lips curved upward.
"Oh?"
"Leaving so quickly?"
Then she smiled mischievously.
"Hurrying back to meet your hidden wife?"
Silence.
Everyone immediately looked toward Yang Lin.
FeiFei's eyes widened.
Liao Yu nearly laughed.
Xiao Rui looked interested again.
Han Qing almost choked.
Even Zhao Feng and Gu Tian looked amused.
Yang Lin rubbed his forehead.
"Stop saying nonsense."
Nobody looked convinced.
Not even slightly.

### Chapter 1722 — How Many Girls?
As everyone stood—
Gu Tian suddenly asked—
"Yang Lin."
"How many girls have you liked in the ourtworld?"
Zhao Feng immediately nodded.
"Good question."
The entire group froze.
Then instantly became interested.
Very interested.
Liao Yu folded her arms.
Xiao Rui leaned forward.
FeiFei's eyes sparkled.
Even Xue Yao quietly looked toward Yang Lin.
Waiting.
Yang Lin thought for a moment.
Then calmly answered—
"Hmm."
"Not many."
Everyone waited.
Yang Lin continued—
"I love someone."
"Apart from my two childhood sweethearts."
"That makes three."
The group instantly became silent.

### Chapter 1723 — The School Beauty
Yang Lin took another sip.
Then continued calmly.
"And back then."
"I also had feelings for the school beauty."
The room exploded.
"What?!"
FeiFei nearly jumped.
Liao Yu's eyes widened.
Xiao Rui stared.
Han Qing looked shocked.
Ning Mei blinked repeatedly.
Even Zhao Feng and Gu Tian froze.
Then Yang Lin casually added—
"A moment ago."
"When you asked what I was thinking."
"I was using divine sense."
"To look at Huaxia."
"Shanghai."
"One of the tallest buildings."
"Top floor."
"I saw her."
The entire hall became quiet.
Everyone stared.
Even Daji looked surprised.
---
### Chapter 1724 — What Is Shanghai?
Daji tilted her head.
"Shanghai?"
Immediately—
The others asked the same question.
"What is Shanghai?"
"Where is that?"
Yang Lin calmly explained—
"One of the largest cities in Huaxia."
"A city with millions of people."
"Filled with towering buildings."
"Technology."
"Commerce."
"And countless lights that never sleep."
"I lived there from the age of eight."
The room became quiet.
Everyone listened carefully.
A world completely different from cultivation.
A place none of them had ever seen.
FeiFei looked fascinated.
Xiao Rui looked curious.
Liao Yu blinked repeatedly.
Even Xue Yao listened silently.
---
### Chapter 1725 — Three Women
Gu Tian rubbed his chin.
"So."
"You have three women in your heart."
Zhao Feng nodded.
"Your two childhood sweethearts."
"And the third girl."
"Who is she?"
Before Yang Lin could answer—
Ning Mei spoke.
"What kind of beauty is she?"
The others immediately looked over.
Waiting.
Expecting.
Curious.
Yang Lin simply smiled.
"Come on."
"You'll know later."
The answer only made everyone more curious.
Especially Ning Mei.

### Chapter 1726 — Everything Disappears
Soon—
Everyone finished their wine.
The last drops vanished from their glasses.
Then—
Yang Lin casually waved his hand.
Instantly—
The wine bottle disappeared.
The glasses disappeared.
The chairs disappeared.
Even the massive table disappeared.
Everything vanished without a trace.
As though it had never existed.
Xiao Rui blinked.
Then blinked again.
Bai Yao stared.
Su Qinglan covered her mouth.
Even Xue Yao's cold eyes narrowed slightly.
Although they had seen Yang Lin perform impossible feats countless times—
It still felt ridiculous.
---
### Chapter 1727 — Good Night
Yang Lin stood.
"Alright."
"Let's sleep."
Then he turned and left.
Everyone watched him go.
FeiFei immediately looked suspicious.
"He's definitely going somewhere."
Liao Yu nodded seriously.
"Absolutely."
Xiao Rui agreed.
"One hundred percent."
Yue Bingxin simply shook her head.
A faint smile appearing.
Xue Yao remained expressionless.
Though her eyes followed Yang Lin for a moment.
Han Qing looked disappointed.
Han Chen laughed softly.
Zhao Feng and Gu Tian exchanged amused looks.
Nobody believed Yang Lin's explanations anymore.

### Chapter 1728 — Returning Home
The moon hung high above the sect.
Silver light covered the courtyard.
Yang Lin walked calmly toward his room.
Soon—
He stopped outside the door.
Then lightly knocked.
Knock.
Knock.
Knock.
"I'm back."
A brief pause.
Then he added—
"Beauty Sword."
Inside the room—
Mo Yue froze.
The moment she heard those words—
Her crimson eyes widened slightly.
Then narrowed.
A faint smile appeared.
Very faint.
Very pleased.
Though she immediately hid it.
Pretending nothing had happened.
---
### Chapter 1729 — What Are You Doing?
Yang Lin pushed open the door.
Then stepped inside.
And froze.
Completely froze.
Because Mo Yue was no longer wearing her cultivation robes.
Instead—
She wore an elegant white sleeping gown.
The soft fabric flowed naturally around her figure.
Her shoulders were exposed gracefully.
Long black hair spread across the bed.
Her jade-like skin seemed even brighter beneath the moonlight.
She lay comfortably atop the bed.
Looking directly at him.
Then—
She slowly raised her hand.
And gestured for Yang Lin to come closer.
Yang Lin stared.
For several seconds.
Then finally said—
"What are you playing at now?"
Mo Yue's lips curved upward slightly.
A rare expression.
Half amused.
Half victorious.

### Chapter 1730 — The Compromise
Yang Lin looked at her.
Then asked cautiously—
"You want me to sleep here too?"
Mo Yue didn't answer.
But her expression said enough.
Yang Lin immediately shook his head.
"That's not appropriate."
"I'm sleeping on the floor."
The moment those words appeared—
Mo Yue's face darkened.
Her brows twitched.
She bit her lip lightly.
Clearly annoyed.
Very annoyed.
Yang Lin sighed.
Then finally spoke.
"Fine."
"I'll sleep on one side."
"You sleep on the other."
"Don't think nonsense."
Silence.
Mo Yue stared at him.
For several moments.
Then—
She slowly turned away.
Trying to hide her expression.
Unfortunately—
The slight smile at the corner of her lips had already betrayed her.
And for the first time that night—
The usually cold sword spirit looked unexpectedly satisfied.
