209: Chapter 209 The Aloof Su Qingyi, and Xuan Zhixue's Changes

"Kept you waiting, Su Yuling."

Just as the woman was waiting anxiously, a sweet yet emotionless voice suddenly entered her ears.

Su Yuling looked at the person approaching and hurriedly said, "Not at all, Yuling only just arrived here."

The newcomer wore a snow-white dress that was whiter than snow, her Face exquisite and stunning, her delicate brows and beautiful eyes seeming to shimmer like autumn ripples, secretly captivating the hearts of others.

Her skin was like white jade, her lips like vermilion dots, her mouth a small cherry, her snow-white neck flawless.

Her figure was graceful and voluptuous, with curves in all the right places, and her slender waist was fragile enough to be held in one hand.

The pair of beautiful legs and jade feet partially exposed were even more eye-catching and soul-stirring.

This person was none other than the Saintess of the Howling Moon Fox Clan—Su Qingyi!

"Hmm, the Heavenly Sword Secret Treasury is opening today. Do you have a heavenly sword token?"

Su Qingyi asked, looking at Su Yuling indifferently.

"Replying to the Saintess, Yuling has a heavenly sword token in her possession."

Su Yuling said respectfully.

Su Qingyi looked over at this moment, her deep gaze mixed with a hint of arrogance and disdain: "I heard from others that a few days ago, you were casually suppressed at the Heavenly Sound Tower, and you didn't even get your hands on a heavenly sword token."

"Where did you get the heavenly sword token you have now?"

Su Yuling was stunned, cold sweat breaking out on her back, and she said, "It... it was something I found outside."

"When Yuling was defeated and fled the Heavenly Sound Tower, on the way back to the pavilion, this heavenly sword token fell from the sky, and Yuling picked it up."

She couldn't possibly say that this heavenly sword token was given to her by Lin Ran, right?

If she did, wouldn't Su Qingyi suspect the relationship between her and Lin Ran?

If the matter were exposed, Lin Ran would likely kill her instantly!

After all, once the matter was exposed, she would have no utility value left.

Would Lin Ran keep a useless person by his side?

"Heh, if I had known this heavenly sword token would fall from the sky and be picked up by you, why bother going to the Heavenly Sound Tower and making a fool of yourself?"

"Being blasted out of the Heavenly Sound Tower with a single palm, do you know how the clansmen are looking at you now?"

Su Qingyi curled her lips into a cold smile, looking at Su Yuling with disdain.

Su Yuling prostrated herself on the ground in fear, her voice trembling as she said, "It is Yuling's incompetence that has caused the Howling Moon Fox Clan to lose all Face."

"Hmph! As long as you are aware of it!"

"The Face you lost still requires this Saintess to retrieve for you. You really are a fine Saintess."

"Tell me, who defeated you?"

Su Qingyi snorted coldly.

"The person who defeated me back then has now become the Dragon Commander of the Jue Jian Imperial Dynasty."

Su Yuling trembled.

"The Dragon Commander of the Jue Jian Imperial Dynasty? Interesting."

Su Qingyi narrowed her beautiful eyes slightly, as if she was thinking about something.

After a long while, she flicked her sleeves, placed her hands behind her back, and said, "Alright, get up. You will accompany this Saintess into the Heavenly Sword Secret Treasury now."

"As for the Dragon Commander of the Jue Jian Imperial Dynasty, this Saintess naturally does not hold him in any regard."

So what if the Jue Jian Imperial Dynasty is a hegemon-level power?

Their Howling Moon Fox Clan is also a hegemon-level power!

Furthermore, the Dragon Commander is not the successor of the Jue Jian Imperial Dynasty, but she, Su Qingyi, is the true successor of the Howling Moon Fox Clan!

More importantly, their Howling Moon Fox Clan even has some origins and connections with the legendary White Jade Capital.

Given this, it was even less likely that she would look down upon a mere Dragon Commander.

Su Yuling felt as if she had been granted amnesty and only then dared to stand up from the ground.

"Saintess, Yuling... has one more presumptuous request."

Su Yuling bit her lip, looking as if she was somewhat embarrassed to speak.

Su Qingyi frowned and said irritably, "Speak."

"Saintess, after entering the Heavenly Sword Secret Treasury, we will be randomly teleported to a certain location."

"Yuling wishes to request an object of connection from you, Saintess, so that Yuling can find you when the time comes."

"Otherwise, with Yuling's meager cultivation, I truly dare not venture through the Heavenly Sword Secret Treasury alone."

Su Yuling said with a lowered head and submissive expression.

"Heh, so you know your own strength is weak? No wonder your lineage was separated from our main branch."

"However..."

A look of arrogance appeared on Su Qingyi's Face.

"However, you are smart enough to know to rely on this Saintess."

"With your cultivation, entering the Heavenly Sword Secret Treasury is indeed a dead end."

"This Saintess is not an unreasonable person. Take this jade pendant; you can use it to find me later."

"Of course, the premise is that you must not let others kill you before you find this Saintess."

Having said that, Su Qingyi turned and left.

That final glance, filled with thick contempt and mockery, deeply stung Su Yuling's heart.

She gripped the jade pendant Su Qingyi gave her tightly, hating in her heart: "Su Qingyi, just you wait; you will eventually pay the price for your arrogance!!"

...

In the Jue Jian Imperial Dynasty, within the residence.

Waking up from amidst the snowy whiteness, Lin Ran murmured in a low voice, "Oh? The Heavenly Sword Secret Treasury has opened?"

At the same time, Li Huayin, Xuan Zhixue, and Meng Qing also woke up simultaneously.

Refining five thousand Medium Grade divine source stones and one hundred High Grade divine source stones did not take Lin Ran much time.

As for the remaining time, Lin Ran naturally spent it accompanying them.

It is worth mentioning that during these few days, Lin Ran increased Xuan Zhixue's favorability to 55 points, obtaining 18,000 destiny points and a breakthrough pill.

Now, Xuan Zhixue might not be completely obedient to his every word, but at least she would no longer resist his training.

Moreover, he could even see that in Xuan Zhixue's eyes, there would occasionally be a deep admiration and reliance on him.

He knew that the dao heart demon seed was thoroughly starting to take effect!

"Zhixue, do you have a heavenly sword token?"

Lin Ran asked softly, holding Xuan Zhixue, who was only wearing a dudou and a pair of black silk stockings.

"Huayin gave me one. I wouldn't count on you to give me one for the Heavenly Sword Secret Treasury!"

Xuan Zhixue huffed in a tsundere manner, her Face slightly flushed with shyness.

"This is unavoidable, after all, your husband only has one heavenly sword token."

Lin Ran said with a chuckle.

Xuan Zhixue huffed again.

"Alright, Lin Ran, the Heavenly Sword Secret Treasury is opening today. Father has already sent a message to me, saying that Li Junze has already entered the Heavenly Sword Secret Treasury first, so let us set off quickly."

Li Huayin smiled.

After getting ready, the group of four left the residence together and headed towards the Heavenly Sword Secret Treasury.

With Meng Qing protecting them along the way, the three of them naturally arrived at the entrance of the Heavenly Sword Secret Treasury safe and sound.

"Meng Qing, you can just wait here."

Lin Ran instructed.

After all, the Heavenly Sword Secret Treasury has restrictions; only those with cultivation below the Quasi-Emperor Realm can enter.

Even if they gave Meng Qing a heavenly sword token, she would not be able to enter.

"Alright, you all be careful as well."

Meng Qing nodded.

"Why haven't we seen Li Zhenwu this time?"

Lin Ran turned his head to look at Li Huayin and asked curiously.
