Chapter 186 Richard Reveals The Truth
Emrys said, “We’ll stop here for today. If we continue, the burden on your meridians will be too great, and it could lead to problems-”
Suddenly, his words faltered, sensing something amiss. He noticed that Yelena, across from him, was breathing more heavily, her gaze growing increasingly unsettling.
Emrys was greatly startled.
Could this be the sequela of the cultivation? It’s akin to the situation of a psychiatrist who, in the process of treating
female patient, could easily cause the patient to develop an attachment to him. This simply won’t do if things

continue like this!
Upon seeing the sparkling gaze of Yelena, Emrys was suddenly jolted into action, promptly scooping her up and rushing into the bathroom.
Splash!
The cool water had drenched them from head to toe, their clothes thoroughly soaked. However, it did manage to clear her head considerably.
Emrys gently set Yelena down and said, “Lena, you should first wash off the sweat on your b*dy. I’ll go get your clothes for you.”
After speaking, he ran out of the bathroom, feeling guilty.
It seems I should cut back on this kind of cultivation assistance in the future. I never imagined the sequela would be this severe.
First, Emrys had found a set of dry clothes for himself and changed into them. Then, he ran to Yelena’s room, picked out a piece of loungewear from her wardrobe, and delivered it to Yelena in the bathroom.
After washing up, Yelena returned to her bedroom. Emrys, on the other hand, was somewhat distractedly watching television. Suddenly, he heard the sound of a car parking in the yard outside. As he stepped out to take a look, he immediately saw a slender, charming figure rushing toward him.
“Rys!”
Cordelia ran joyfully toward Emrys, but the next moment, she froze. She had spotted a lipstick mark on Emrys‘ neck.
This was due to an accidental brush earlier, coupled with the haste during the bath, there was no careful scrubbing, hence leaving behind evidence.
And so, Cordelia was furious.
“As expected, you took advantage of my inattention to fool around with Yelena again. Just wait and see how I’ll teach you a lesson, Rys!”
Cordelia’s expression changed in an instant. One moment, her smile was as radiant as a blooming flower, the next, her pretty face turned icy cold. She fiercely grabbed Emrys‘ ear, reprimanding him

non–stop.
Emrys pleaded, “Spare me, Cordelia… Things are not as you imagine! Nothing really happened between me and Lena… Wait a minute, why don’t you suspect, that this lipstick belongs to Caylie?”
“Caylie would never use such a lipstick with such a flamboyant color, so it must be Yelena’s. I’ll go and talk to Yelena about this right away!”
With an imposing aura, Cordelia stormed toward Yelena’s room.
“It seems that Cordelia only shows such a lively side when she’s with you all,” Richard said with a complex tone, standing not far from the car.
He had brought Cordelia back home that day.
Emrys put away his playful expression, looking indifferently at Richard and said, “Since you already know, there’s no need for me to say more.”
“Hehe… You don’t need to harbor such hostility toward me, Emrys. I came here today with sincerity to apologize to you,” Richard said with a chuckle.
“Apologize?”
Emrys‘ face showed a strange expression as he glanced around the car. “Where’s Lydia?”
“She didn’t come…
Richard flashed him a bitter smile, then quickly added, “However, you must have already sensed it. Lydia has changed her attitude toward you. She already feels regret in her heart, but she just can’t bring herself to apologize to you.”
“Let’s wait until she can swallow her pride, then we can talk.”
Observing Emrys‘ indifferent expression, Richard felt an even deeper bitterness in his heart. He knew that their previous actions had hurt Emrys profoundly, which explained his current attitude.
“Actually, Lydia wasn’t always like this. Her situation was quite similar to Cordelia’s. She hails from the Ginger family of Juxshire, a family with martial artists at its helm. At that time, the Ginger family had arranged a marriage of convenience for her, intending to marry her off to another family of martial artists. Yet, against all odds, she chose to be with me…”
Regardless of whether Emrys was listening or not, Richard was engrossed in narrating his story with Lydia.
