258: The protagonist, whose identity had already been exposed, was dumbfounded.

At the entrance of the Sunken Abyss Mystic Realm.

The massive crack in the ground vibrated continuously as countless spiritual runes manifested in the air.

Following that, nearly a thousand dazzling streaks of white spiritual light flashed.

A large number of Cultivators appeared out of thin air.

These were the Cultivators being teleported out after the conclusion of the Sunken Abyss Mystic Realm.

“We’re finally out!”

“This Sunken Abyss Mystic Realm was far too dangerous!”

“Indeed, it was all thanks to Su Yun!”

“Otherwise, we probably wouldn't have even reached the Mountain of Inheritance in the second trial.”

“Who could say otherwise!”

Many Cultivators discussed amongst themselves... On a small hillside not far from the entrance of the Sunken Abyss Mystic Realm.

A streak of white spiritual light flashed, and two figures appeared out of thin air—it was Su Yun and Liu Ruoxi, who had been teleported out.

“Young Master Su, it’s about time for us to part ways.”

Liu Ruoxi looked at Su Yun with her pitch-black eyes, her tone carrying a hint of reluctance.

During this time she had secretly hidden her identity to explore the Secret Realm, the luckiest thing was meeting Su Yun.

He had allowed her to experience an interesting exploration of the Secret Realm.

Now that it was time to return to the Jade Pool Holy Land and resume her role as the Saintess, she suddenly felt immensely reluctant to leave.

“This is my communication jade slip; you can contact me if anything happens!”

With a wave of her jade-like hand, a communication jade slip appeared in her palm, and she handed it directly to Su Yun.

“Alright, Miss Liu. Then I’ll be off first; I need to go find my Senior Sister! Until we meet again!”

Su Yun said with a faint smile.

Immediately after, he took the communication jade slip and casually placed it into his Storage Ring.

Seeing Su Yun's handsome smile, Liu Ruoxi couldn't help but daze for a moment, remaining silent for a long time.

“Hmm?”

Su Yun suddenly noticed that the look in Liu Ruoxi's eyes wasn't quite right.

This Liu Ruoxi was staring at him in a daze again.

Forget it, he should leave this place quickly; finding his Senior Sister was more important.

Thinking of this, Su Yun turned into a streak of light and dissipated from the spot. As he left, he intentionally added one more sentence:

“Miss Liu—oh no, Yaochi Saintess—let’s meet again next time!”

“What?”

“You... you actually recognized me long ago!”

Liu Ruoxi's eyes widened, her red lips parted slightly, and her body trembled slightly.

How was it possible?

Had her identity really been discovered by Su Yun?

Had he found out just a moment ago?

No, perhaps he had discovered it the moment she joined the team.

How hateful!

Su Yun had actually kept quiet the whole time!

Did he want to make a fool out of her?

“Saintess! Are you alright? Quickly return to our Jade Pool Holy Land group!”

“Otherwise, you might be discovered by the Elders!”

Li Xue arrived at Liu Ruoxi's side in a flash. Seeing Liu Ruoxi still standing there in a daze, she spoke urgently.

The place where she and Liu Ruoxi were currently located was very close to the entrance of the Sunken Abyss Mystic Realm. Those Elders from the Jade Pool Holy Land could not approach to investigate this area, so if Liu Ruoxi returned to the Jade Pool Holy Land group now, she would not be discovered.

“Saintess, what’s wrong?”

Seeing that Liu Ruoxi was still dazed, Li Xue asked again.

“Su Yun, I’ll remember you!”

Liu Ruoxi gritted her silver teeth and murmured.

She took a few deep breaths to calm her emotions.

Then, with a wave of her delicate hand, the illusory spirit hairpin flew back into her palm.

With a thought, she inserted the illusory spirit hairpin directly into her hair.

Immediately after, a spiritual light flashed.

She deactivated her Disguise Cultivation Technique.

The originally plain-looking young girl disappeared, transforming into a Fairy of peerless beauty.

This Fairy's silver-white eyes shimmered with faint light. She possessed a celestial appearance, vermilion lips, pearly teeth, and skin like ice and jade. Every gesture exuded a cold and transcendent aura. She wore a simple, ancient white dress, with faint white spiritual light flowing continuously across the surface of her body.

“Let’s go, Senior Sister Li, we’re returning to the Jade Pool Holy Land group.”

Liu Ruoxi said indifferently.

“By the way, did something happen between the Saintess and Young Master Su?”

Li Xue asked curiously.

Just now, she had seen Su Yun and Liu Ruoxi saying something from a distance.

After Su Yun left,

Liu Ruoxi had stood there in a daze.

“Hmph, Senior Sister Li, do not mention Su Yun again.”

Liu Ruoxi's indifferent expression immediately crumbled.

How annoying.

She had just managed to compose herself.

Now that Li Xue mentioned him,

She was reminded of her experiences inside the Abyssal Sea palace again.

Furthermore, she still had one of Su Yun's Dao robes in her possession that she had forgotten to return.

If she had known, she would have returned it to Su Yun just now.

Forget it, there will be another chance to meet in the future; she would just return it to Su Yun then!

Li Xue was also stunned when she saw the change in Liu Ruoxi's expression.

No way.

Could the Saintess really be interested in Su Yun?

Such a big reaction?

Her tone isn't right either!

Should I just ask directly?

Thinking of this, just as Li Xue was about to speak, she was interrupted by Liu Ruoxi.

“Senior Sister Li, is there something you want to say to me?”

Liu Ruoxi looked at Li Xue with some confusion.

“It’s nothing.”

Li Xue shook her head and said.

She decided not to ask after all; if she had guessed wrong, it would be troublesome if the Saintess got angry.

“Who is it?”

“Who dares to eavesdrop on our conversation?”

Liu Ruoxi suddenly sensed someone peeking from the shadows.

She circulated her spiritual power and waved her jade hand.

In an instant, thousands of streaks of white spiritual light attacked a large rock not far away.

After a thunderous boom,

The boulder was blown into fly ash, leaving only a giant pit thousands of feet wide.

“No one? Perhaps my perception was mistaken.”

Liu Ruoxi's red lips moved slightly as she spoke in a cold tone.

“Let’s go, Senior Sister Li.”

Liu Ruoxi turned into a streak of white light and flew toward the Jade Pool Holy Land group.

Li Xue followed closely behind and vanished from the spot.

Ten breaths later.

A handsome young man appeared out of thin air above the spot where the boulder had just been.

“I was almost discovered!”

“And that Girl in White Robes was actually Ruoxi!”

Chen Hao said with his eyes wide in disbelief.

Just after he was teleported out, he had unexpectedly seen Ruoxi walking toward a certain place alone.

He had intended to follow her to meet Ruoxi privately, and incidentally resolve the misunderstanding regarding his previous injury to the Yaochi Disciples.

But he hadn't expected to discover that Ruoxi was walking toward the very Girl in White Robes who had injured him.

He immediately became curious about the relationship between the two.

So he utilized the aura-hiding Secret Technique recorded in the Heavenly Martial Art to eavesdrop on their conversation.

But it would have been better if he hadn't listened; after hearing it all, he regretted it.

The good news was that the previous Ruoxi really was problematic and was a certain Yaochi Disciple in disguise.

The bad news was that the real Ruoxi was the Girl in White Robes who had injured him earlier.

“Ruoxi, why did you treat me like this!”

“I am your Brother Chen!”

Chen Hao's fists were tightly clenched as he murmured unwillingly.

“I accidentally injured a Jade Pool Holy Land Disciple before, but that was just a misunderstanding!”

“Why treat me like this?”

“Won't you even listen to my explanation?”

“Could it also be related to that Taixuan Holy Land Disciple named Su Yun?”

Chen Hao recalled that back in the Giant Stone Underground Palace, Liu Ruoxi hadn't intended to make a move at first.

But the moment he attacked Su Yun, Liu Ruoxi had moved to attack him.

Could it be that Ruoxi had attacked him because of Su Yun?

“I’ll remember you, Su Yun!”

“Once I become stronger, I will definitely seek you out for revenge!”

Chen Hao’s eyes were bloodshot as he spoke in a dark tone.

Following that, he turned into a streak of white light and vanished from the spot.

He needed to seize the time to enter secluded cultivation and raise his Realm, so he could become the Lingwu Holy Land Saint as soon as possible. Only then would he have more cultivation resources.
