Chapter 535: Success?

Crowds gathered around, the commotion escalating quickly, not just attracting disciples from the Lingyuan Gate, but also members of other sects who came to watch the drama, making Liu Chen and Liu Ruyan seem like a couple caught in the act of adultery.

Seeing this situation, Liu Chen knew they had fallen into someone else's trap. He only blamed himself for being too careless and not considering all aspects thoroughly. A minor disciple had delivered a message stating that Zhang Shuntian had switched the rooms of Li Qingwan and Qin Lu. Liu Chen believed it, particularly since Liu Ruyan also mentioned that she too had only heard it from a minor disciple.

Bribing a disciple was no difficult task for a rich young master like Situ Wuqiong—it probably didn't even require bribery. Merely saying it was to let Liu Ruyan rest well, by exchanging Qin Lu's and Li Qingwan's room, and later crediting this good deed to Zhang Shuntian would suffice.
