122: Trust me, everything will be fine!
"Are you trying to play me for a fool along with that bastard Chen Xian!"
Sun Xiu gave Han Kun a series of fierce kicks.
Then he left angrily with his group.
Han Kun lay prone on the ground; these superficial injuries were nothing.
What truly pained him were the sword wound in his abdomen and his inner feelings.
He thought he could kill Chen Xian this time, but now it seemed he had tried to steal a chicken only to lose the rice!
Just then, the sound of footsteps approached.
Han Kun looked up, and his eyes lit up when he saw Liu Ruyan.
His savior had arrived!
His eyes darted around.
"Sister Ruyan, I came to find Chen Xian to explain the relationship between us so he wouldn't misunderstand, but he not only refused to listen but even attacked me!"
"Sister Ruyan, we..."
"I saw everything!"
Liu Ruyan looked down at Han Kun on the ground from a height.
As she walked over just now, she was actually still fantasizing that perhaps this was all a misunderstanding.
That Han Kun was just momentarily possessed.
But the moment she saw this guy skillfully begin to frame Chen Xian...
Liu Ruyan felt her worldview collapse.
The man she had always trusted turned out to be like this.
He was actually willing to do anything just to frame Chen Xian.
Hearing this, Han Kun was also stunned.
He coughed.
"Sister Ruyan, you saw everything just now? *Cough cough*, actually, I was just joking with you..."
"And what about before? Was that also a joke?"
Liu Ruyan said seriously, "Han Kun, do you know that once trust between people collapses, it can never be recovered!"
"You were lying to me before too, weren't you?"
A crack appeared in the expression on Han Kun's face.
"Sister Ruyan, actually, all of this can be explained. I had a reason for doing this!"
"What reason?"
"I love you!"
"Han Kun, I've always treated you like a younger brother!"
"But I like you. Don't you like me?"
Liu Ruyan shook her head coldly.
"I have never liked you."
"The one I like is Chen Xian!"
"Impossible!"
Covered in blood, Han Kun said hideously, "How is that possible! If you liked him, why would you always ignore him? If you liked him, how could you be seen with me everywhere? Sister Ruyan, the two of you are destined to have no fate together; you should be with me!"
Hearing this, Liu Ruyan's heart skipped a beat.
Could it be that Chen Xian thought the same way before?
Especially since she had stayed on the boat for Han Kun's sake.
This made Liu Ruyan feel a wave of regret!
Why did she stay on the boat for such a thing and abandon Chen Xian?
No, once we reach the Shanhai Secret Realm, I must explain everything to him!
"Han Kun, from now on, there is no longer any relationship between us!"
After saying that, she turned and left.
Han Kun lay on the ground, his face twisted in rage!
He was unwilling!
Why was it that even though Chen Xian wasn't on the dragon boat...
...he could still influence this woman's heart!
His eyes were filled with venomous malice.
At this time, a dark figure appeared in the dim corridor.
"Kid, do you want revenge?"
..."Everyone, we have already entered the range of the Shanhai Secret Realm. We will arrive in half an hour at most!"
On the Xun Sheng Sect's dragon boat.
Ning Linger looked at the Shanhai Secret Realm ahead.
Infinite excitement surged in her heart.
For some, the Shanhai Secret Realm was a forbidden land filled with the aura of death.
But for others, it was also filled with countless opportunities.
Opportunities, Legacies, Spiritual Plants, Medicinal Pills, or various rare treasures.
As long as one entered and came out successfully, there would be significant gains.
However, at that moment, Chen Xian suddenly coughed.
"Take a detour!"
"Huh?"
Ning Linger looked at Chen Xian with a face full of confusion.
"The Shanhai Secret Realm is right before us. Why should we take a detour?"
Unlike his granddaughter's confusion, Ning Banshan asked solemnly, "Little friend, is there something wrong ahead?"
"I had a dream yesterday where the Earth Dragon turned over here, causing a massive upheaval of heaven and earth."
"If we don't take a detour, I'm afraid we all risk being overturned!"
Ning Linger sneered.
"I think you're just being an alarmist!"
"If we take a detour, we'll have to travel much longer! Do you know that driving the dragon boat requires Spirit Stones?"
Their Xun Sheng Sect was a third-rate Sect in the Eastern Continent and was not wealthy.
If they took the detour as Chen Xian said...
...they wouldn't arrive for quite some time.
And it would cost a lot of Spirit Stones.
Especially since this was just a dream of Chen Xian's; if a dream could be believed, it would be quite absurd.
Chen Xian said indifferently, "What if I insist?"
"You..."
"Linger!"
Ning Banshan shouted.
He said to Chen Xian, "Since our little friend says so, what's the harm in listening!"
"Men, change course!"
"Grandfather..."
Ning Linger wanted to argue.
But she was stopped by Ning Banshan.
"We may not believe our little friend, but we cannot distrust Junior Martial Uncle's judgment!"
Seeing the conversation between the grandfather and granddaughter...
...Chen Xian said with a smile, "Don't worry, you'll thank me in a moment!"
As for Zhao Hu and the others, they were already accustomed to Chen Xian's predictions.
If the Young Lord said there was danger ahead...
...it was eighty percent likely there was danger!
Sure enough.
Half an hour later.
Beneath the mountain range they had bypassed...
...the earth shook and the mountains swayed.
Spiritual Qi surged wildly!
Numerous dragon boats above lost power one after another due to the Spiritual Qi fluctuations.
They fell into the valley below.
For a moment, there was total chaos!
What a scene!
The people of the Xun Sheng Sect were all dumbfounded when they saw this.
At first, they thought Chen Xian was being an alarmist.
And that their Elder was being overly cautious.
But they hadn't expected that what Chen Xian said was actually true!
Ning Banshan stood on the deck, watching the earth-shaking scene not far away.
"The Earth Dragon turns! It's earth-shattering!"
"Little friend, Junior Martial Uncle's judgment was indeed correct."
"You truly have extraordinary qualities!"
"Today, our entire Sect must thank you for helping us avoid this disaster!"
Chen Xian said with a chuckle, "Senior Ning, everything has a cycle of Karma."
"Senior letting us board the boat and believing my words—that is the cause!"
"Our successful escape from disaster—that is the effect!"
In his eyes...
...the Xun Sheng Sect deserved this outcome.
When the Xun Sheng Sect's dragon boat slowly landed at the entrance of the Shanhai Secret Realm...
...the place was already overcrowded.
"My god, the Prodigies of the Five Great Continents are all gathered here; it's truly an unprecedented occasion!"
"This time, the Shanhai Secret Realm will definitely be exciting!"
"Nonsense, this is the first time the Shanhai Secret Realm has been opened to the Prodigies of the Five Great Continents! It will definitely be incredibly intense!"
"And it will also be extremely dangerous!"
The dragon boat slowly came to a stop.
Everyone disembarked, and Chen Xian called out to Ning Linger.
"For Old... Senior Li's sake, take this. Open it only after you enter the Secret Realm!"
