20: Beyond the secret realm, the daughter of the Wang family patriarch

The next day, outside Mystic Spirit City.

A large crowd had gathered deep within a dense forest; from a distance, one could naturally distinguish two distinct groups of people.

One group was the An Family, and the other was the Wang Family.

Su Yun was currently standing at the back of the An Family's group, with An Yuyao standing right beside him.

"Brother, you're also here for the Xuanling Secret Realm?"

An Mochen had been beaten into submission by Su Yun yesterday.

Seeing that a jinx like Su Yun was also participating in the Xuanling Secret Realm today, he hurriedly went forward to greet him.

"Eh? Junior Brother Su Yun, you know An Mochen?"

"Senior Sister An, this is the person I mentioned yesterday. He overstretched himself by attacking me and was beaten into a pulp by me."

"Junior Brother Su Yun, you should call me Senior Sister Yuyao from now on."

"So it was this brat who caused trouble for you yesterday."

Hearing Su Yun's words, An Yuyao immediately glared at An Mochen somewhat angrily.

"Brother, Sister, it was my fault!"

After An Mochen was beaten by Su Yun yesterday, he originally wanted to find his father to help him take revenge. However, after his father learned the reason, he gave him another beating and told him not to cause trouble.

Because the Clan Chief had said that Su Yun was his daughter's savior and an honored guest of the An Family.

This was the first time Su Yun had seen someone back down so quickly.

According to the usual tropes, shouldn't it be 'beat the young one, and the old one comes out,' followed by a series of face-slapping moments?

How come in his case, after beating the young one, the old one didn't come to settle the score?

Oh, right, it seems he wasn't the protagonist; his Luck Rank was just that of a passerby, so it wasn't surprising.

"Move aside."

Su Yun helplessly pointed to the other side of the group.

"Alright, Brother."

An Mochen scurried away in a flash.

At this moment, a sudden commotion broke out in the Wang Family's group.

"The Eldest Young Miss is here! Quick, make way for the Eldest Young Miss!"

"The Eldest Young Miss has come out of seclusion again. She must be at the Golden Core Fifth Layer by now; she's truly a favored daughter of heaven."

A deep red spiritual light appeared in the distance and landed at the very front of the Wang Family's group in a short moment.

As the spiritual light dissipated, a young girl appeared there.

She was tall, with light red wavy hair and wearing a wine-red long dress.

Because he was standing quite far away, Su Yun could only see her profile.

But even just her profile was charming enough; her light red eyebrows, fair skin, and charming expression also attracted everyone's gaze.

Su Yun immediately checked her life script.

【Name: Wang Shiyan】

【Age: Nineteen】

【Realm: Golden Core Fifth Layer】

【Physique: Scarlet Flame Sacred Body】

【Luck Rank: Purple】

【Background: Daughter of the Wang Family Clan Chief of Mystic Spirit City】

【Role: female protagonist】

【Recent Turning Point: In half a day, she will obtain the Female Sword of the blazing flame twin swords in the Xuanling Secret Realm.

Next year, after Zhang Tian enters the Xuanling Secret Realm, he will obtain the male sword of the blazing flame twin swords.

The two swords are supreme grade spirit tools, a pair of couple swords forged by an ancient, infatuated Artifact Refiner.

Finally, through the attraction of the two swords, the two meet, and their feelings intensify during their interactions.】

【Opportunity: The Female Sword of the blazing flame twin swords.

Legend has it that when the twin swords fight together, their combat power will soar rapidly, and as the rapport between the two sword owners improves, their power will also increase significantly.】

"Holy crap, even this can be related to Zhang Tian?"

Su Yun was also stunned after reading Wang Shiyan's turning point.

This Zhang Tian has quite the Luck with women. Not only does he have a beautiful fiancée, but he also gets a mature beauty halfway through. As expected of a protagonist.

Even couple swords have appeared. But since I've seen it, it's mine.

It just so happens that the weapon I'm carrying is only a Low Grade Spiritual Artifact; it would be good to change it for an Advanced Spiritual Artifact.

This blazing flame sword is of the fire attribute.

My Physique happens to be compatible with this sword. Wouldn't the power be incredible when I use the Glazed Sacred Fire then?

"System, follow her life script."

【Ding, followed】

After speaking with the Wang Family members, Wang Shiyan walked straight toward the An Family group—specifically, toward An Yuyao's direction.

"Sister Yaoer, why didn't you tell me when you came back?"

"Big sister is so heartbroken!"

Wang Shiyan's voice was charming and moving.

After hearing it, the surrounding young members of the An Family all turned their heads and stared straight at her.

"Wang Shiyan, don't call me 'sister'! You're the same age as me!"

Hearing her words, An Yuyao immediately bristled. She had often been bullied by Wang Shiyan when they were children.

She especially loved to tease her. Because An Yuyao was shorter than her, she made her call her 'Big Sister' every time.

Wang Shiyan walked up to An Yuyao, reached out to touch her twin ponytails, and even pinched her face.

"Don't mess with my face."

An Yuyao was pinched so much she had no way to fight back, muttering under her breath.

"Eh, who is this handsome young man?"

Wang Shiyan's eyes lit up when she saw Su Yun; she hadn't seen such a handsome young man in a long time.

Moreover, wasn't An Yuyao only close to her fiancé, Zhang Tian, before? Why was there another man beside her?

"Miss Wang, I am Su Yun, Yuyao's fellow disciple Junior Brother."

"Little Brother Su Yun, just call me Sister Shi Yan. Since you're Sister Yaoer's Junior Brother, you're my brother too."

Su Yun was also a bit surprised after hearing this.

Who acknowledges someone as a brother right at the first meeting?

No wonder An Yuyao was completely helpless against her.

At this moment, Wang Shiyan was curiously observing Su Yun.

Because she found that she couldn't quite see through Su Yun, and she felt a dangerous aura coming from him.

One must know that she was at the Golden Core Fifth Layer Realm.

While Su Yun was only at the Foundation Establishment Tenth Layer Realm.

How about testing him?

Thinking of this, Wang Shiyan circulated her spiritual power and secretly cast a Spell.

This Spell had no lethality; it only generated a spiritual power fluctuation that made it impossible for a person to maintain their balance.

With her spiritual power at the Golden Core Fifth Layer Realm casting this Spell, Su Yun at the Foundation Establishment Tenth Layer would surely be unable to withstand it.

Then, she lightly stomped on the ground.

A ripple of spiritual power appeared on the ground and attacked Su Yun.

Su Yun also sensed a spiritual power fluctuation coming toward him.

He circulated his spiritual power, and his powerful Physique directly blocked that spiritual power fluctuation. Then, he secretly released spiritual power to strike the fluctuation back.

"Is this... a Spell released by Wang Shiyan?"

Su Yun looked in the direction the spiritual power fluctuation was coming from.

He discovered it was coming from Wang Shiyan's side.

"Strange, it actually had no effect?"

Wang Shiyan was a bit puzzled seeing Su Yun had no reaction.

At this moment, the spiritual power fluctuation that was originally aimed at Su Yun struck directly back at her.

The powerful spiritual power fluctuation caused her body to instantly lose balance, and she couldn't even use her movement techniques.

Because she was standing in front of Su Yun, she fell directly toward him.

"Oh no!"

Wang Shiyan never expected that the spiritual power fluctuation she released would actually be struck back.

It was impossible; only someone with a spiritual power intensity stronger than hers could strike back this spiritual power fluctuation.

Furthermore, this spiritual power fluctuation actually made her lose balance and fall without any way to resist.

One must know that she was at the Golden Core Fifth Layer Realm; no matter what, her spiritual power intensity should be stronger than Su Yun's!

"Uh, this?"

Su Yun instinctively caught Wang Shiyan as she fell toward him.

He was also a bit dazed at this moment.

He didn't understand Wang Shiyan's behavior just now.

The surrounding onlookers from the An Family and the Wang Family members watching from afar were all dumbfounded; for a moment, the scene was deathly silent.

Wang Shiyan felt herself being held by Su Yun, and the expression on her face instantly froze. She opened her small mouth in disbelief and began to stammer incoherently:

"You... I..."

Holding Wang Shiyan's warm body, a faint, delicate fragrance wafted into Su Yun's nose.

Her body temperature was quite high, but she was very soft, like tofu that would release water with a single squeeze.

Just as Wang Shiyan regained her footing and was about to burst out in anger, Su Yun quickly withdrew his hands.

"You, you, you! You're taking advantage of me! You lecher!"

Wang Shiyan could no longer maintain her previously composed expression. Dark red spiritual power surged from her body, making her look like a volcanic eruption.

She never expected that she, who loved teasing others the most, would one day be the one at a disadvantage.

She would never use this Spell again; it was too much of a pitfall!

That hateful brat, taking advantage of me on the very first day we met.

Big sister is going to burn you to a crisp!

"Sister Shi Yan, you fell onto me yourself, you can't blame me!

Instead, you should thank me for catching you, otherwise you would have fallen directly onto the ground.

Besides, you just released a Spell at me; I was merely retaliating normally."

Su Yun looked at Wang Shiyan with a face full of innocence.

"The most beautiful Young Miss in my heart was actually hugged by another man."

"No! This can't be real!"

The young members of the Wang Family immediately erupted like a boiling pot, shouting abuses.

The young members of the An Family were much the same, all staring fiercely at Su Yun.
