105: Chapter 105 The Prodigal Girl with Good Talent

Seeing everyone denouncing Li Yiran, Ancient Phoenix also felt a little panicked, a hint of bitterness appearing on her lips: "Everyone, why go so far!"

In her opinion, although Li Yiran was being somewhat unreasonable, she was still her long-time friend.

Some of the words spoken there were truly unpleasant; if they reached Li Yiran's ears, they might not even be able to remain friends in the end.

"Phoenix, those who walk different paths cannot plan together! Perhaps only when Miss Li sees Lin, the Devil Head's true face will she understand your painstaking efforts!"

Ye Chen sat upright, hearing the people present slander Li Yiran, feeling secretly delighted, and spoke sincerely to Ancient Phoenix.

When Lin Ruiyang is killed in the arena, Li Yiran will surely become a rat crossing the street.

At that time, if he, Ye Chen, plays the hero saving the beauty and extends an olive branch to her, would he still fear her not embracing him?

....

Taichu Holy Land, Holy Son Peak.

Lin Ruiyang and Shangguan Yunyue had already emerged from seclusion at this time and were sitting inside the Holy Son's grand hall.

Sitting on the main chair, Lin Ruiyang stroked his chin, pondering in his heart.

The list of those going to Jingjue Ancient City for the Dao discussion had been finalized a few days ago.

It was roughly as he expected: Immortal Lingyun would lead the team, and he, Jiang Yueyao, and all direct Disciples would go.

However, Lin Ruiyang added some Disciples from Holy Son Peak to the list, including Ye Qingcheng and Liu Qing.

"Holy Son, there's someone named Lu Xiaoyu outside the mountain gate, holding your token, saying she's here by invitation! The Outer Affairs Hall has sent someone to verify!"

Just then, Liu Qing hurried in, cupped his hands, and reported.

"Lu Xiaoyu?"

Lin Ruiyang paused, the image of the girl in the pink dress couldn't help but appear in his mind.

The last time he saw Lu Xiaoyu, her True Dragon Treasure Body hadn't awakened yet. Calculating the time, it should be about now.

"I met this Lu Xiaoyu once in the Immortal Ancient Battlefield. Seeing her extremely high talent, I had the idea of recruiting her!"

"Liu Qing, go yourself and bring her to Holy Son Peak!"

When he gave her the token back then, Lin Ruiyang didn't have much hope, as in the original novel, Lu Xiaoyu was always a lone wolf, with no friends or Dao Companions.

He just didn't expect her to actually come! The True Dragon Treasure Body is a combat Physique. If she could be kept, it would definitely be another powerful asset.

"Ruiyang, do you know the Ancient Phoenix Princess? She and Ye Chen are spreading rumors and slandering you everywhere. Aren't you planning to fight back?"

Next to Lin Ruiyang, Shangguan Yunyue, who had been silent, suddenly spoke up and asked.

As soon as she came out of the cultivation room, she received information from Wuji Immortal Sect, learning about some recent events in the Middle Domain.

She hadn't been at Holy Son Peak for very long, but her relationship with Ye Qingcheng was quite good, and she also learned about some of Jiang Yueyao and Lin Ruiyang's past.

What Ye Chen was doing now caused the image of the kind-hearted Ye Chen Gege in Shangguan Yunyue's heart to collapse completely.

She knew about the feud between Ye Chen and Lin Ruiyang, but using the harm of his own sister and innocent people as the price was truly shameful.

At this moment, Shangguan Yunyue looked at Lin Ruiyang again and felt he was much more pleasing to the eye compared to before.

[Ding! Shangguan Yunyue's heart developed a favorable impression, Emotional Value +1000!]

"The Ancient Phoenix Princess of the Fire Country? I know a little, she's just a spendthrift girl with decent talent!"

Hearing Shangguan Yunyue's words, Lin Ruiyang's face showed a hint of mockery. He leaned back against the chair and said indifferently.

In the original novel, this Ancient Phoenix became acquainted with Ye Chen, gained the approval of the Fire Country's Emperor, and became Dao Companions after the Dao discussion in Jingjue Ancient City.

Unfortunately, within a few months, because Ye Chen provoked forces from outside the Xuanhuang World, he was chased all the way and fled to the Fire Country.

Originally, if the Fire Country had just handed over Ye Chen, there would have been no issue, but Ancient Phoenix threatened to die, insisting that the Emperor open a secret passage to send Ye Chen out of the Fire Country's Imperial City.

As a result, the entire Gu Family, all experts at the Saint Realm and above, were completely wiped out, and there was no longer a Fire Country in the Xuanhuang World.

Ye Chen and Ancient Phoenix, who had escaped the Imperial City, fled back to Taichu Holy Land without stopping. Ultimately, that force stopped a hundred thousand li away, allowing the two of them to keep their lives.

Ancient Phoenix was considered the number one spendthrift girl in the original novel. As for the second place, it was naturally Shangguan Yunyue right before his eyes.

However, the Shangguan Family's matter was something that happened later.

"Spendthrift girl? This woman is truly detestable, she actually dared to conspire with Ye Chen to spread rumors and slander you!"

"It is said that she also gathered most of the prodigies from the Middle Domain, attempting to eliminate you on the Soaring Dragon Arena!"

Hearing Lin Ruiyang's words, Shangguan Yunyue's face showed a look of gentle anger, and she said indignantly.

"Oh? Are you angry because she's spreading rumors and slandering me, or because she's with Ye Chen?"

Lin Ruiyang's face showed a faint smile. Such clumsy rumor-mongering couldn't even enter his sight.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Of course, I'm angry because they're spreading rumors about you!"

"I've given my body to you, do you still not believe me?"

[Ding! Shangguan Yunyue felt wronged, Emotional Value +1000!]

"Hmm?"

Hearing the System's mechanical voice in his mind, Lin Ruiyang couldn't help but be slightly startled.

What's going on? Could it be that this girl has truly become devoted?

Is the legendary "love develops over time" true?

Looking at Shangguan Yunyue's wronged expression, Lin Ruiyang couldn't help but chuckle and shake his head, saying slowly, "Alright! It was my mistake for misunderstanding you!"

"These mere cats and dogs want to kill me? Unless the sun rises from the west!"

Just then, Liu Qing walked in with Lu Xiaoyu. Perhaps it was her first time coming to such a large Holy Land, Lu Xiaoyu seemed a little nervous, her small hands subconsciously pinching the corner of her clothes.

"Lu Xiaoyu greets the Holy Son!"

Coming before Lin Ruiyang, Lu Xiaoyu immediately bowed in greeting. As she spoke, her face turned slightly red.

"Little girl, we meet again! How about it, have you decided to join Taichu Holy Land?"

Lin Ruiyang raised his eyelids, sized Lu Xiaoyu up and down, nodded with satisfaction, and said in a gentle tone.

At this moment, Lu Xiaoyu's cultivation had already reached the third level of the Golden Core Realm, and her True Dragon Treasure Body had also completely awakened.

For an ordinary person with her cultivation level, surviving the Immortal Ancient Battlefield would be a miracle, let alone obtaining opportunities. This shows how powerful her fortune is.

Hearing Lin Ruiyang's words, Lu Xiaoyu's heart was instantly filled with great joy. She immediately knelt on the ground:

"Holy Son, I beg you to let me join Holy Son Peak!"

Looking at Lu Xiaoyu kneeling on the ground, Lin Ruiyang couldn't help but feel a moment of surprise.

He had prepared quite a few arguments to persuade her to stay, but looking at the situation, it seemed they were completely unnecessary.

This was, in the original novel, the first person among the younger generation to step into the Quasi-Emperor realm in the future Golden Great Era.

Without Family support or Sect protection, she relied on herself to sweep through all the prodigies of the heavens. Any Children of Destiny would have to stand aside.

If it weren't for the original novel becoming an unfinished work, she would probably have been the first among the younger generation to become an Immortal. What a reliable asset!

In the future, as long as he took her with him when going out for training, various opportunities would automatically deliver themselves "swish, swish" to their doorstep.

"This... this is too wonderful. Little girl... from now on, my cultivation resources will depend on you!"

Lin Ruiyang's heart surged, and a look of excitement appeared on his face.

The Children of Destiny has the protection of the Heavenly Dao. He, Lin Ruiyang, has the assistance of a Children of Destiny. Neither is worse than the other.

Moreover, recently, Lin Ruiyang had a feeling that the Heavenly Dao of this world seemed unable to restrain him at all.
