270: The protagonist who is temporarily away, the girl's adoration

Chen Yan couldn't sit still; he suddenly stood up and asked:

"Ning Feng, why did you return alone?

Shouldn't you have come back with Chu Ningyue?"

At this moment, Ning Feng didn't answer Chen Yan's question; instead, with a pale face, he muttered:

"It's over! It's all over now. Su Yun has chased us all the way to Wanbao City!"

"Su Yun?"

Hearing that name, Chen Yan suddenly remembered something.

After a moment, Ning Feng calmed down and slowly recounted what had just happened.

After listening, Chen Yan's eyes widened:

"What!

You failed?

And Su Yun, that Personal Disciple of the Taixuan Holy Land who injured you before, has also come?

Wait, Su Yun, the Personal Disciple of the Taixuan Holy Land... I seem to have heard that name somewhere."

Chen Yan pondered for a moment before suddenly slapping his thigh and saying with a grave expression:

"Half a month ago, it was said that outside the entrance of the Sunken Abyss Mystic Realm in the Central Domain, Long Lie, an Old Ancestor of the Red Dragon Clan at the second layer of tribulation crossing realm, attacked a Personal Disciple of the Taixuan Holy Land named Su Yun.

The result was that he was killed in a single move by Su Yun's Revered Master, True Person Liuguang.

It couldn't be him, could it?"

Ning Feng's eyes were bloodshot as he clenched his fists, saying with some reluctance:

"It's him! He has many trump cards and powerful strength, and he even has a Mahayana Realm Cultivator as his backer."

"Then what about Brother Yu?"

Chen Yan added.

"Elder Yu's Soul power was depleted too much, and he has fallen into a deep sleep."

Ning Feng shook his head and said.

Chen Yan gripped his cane and said in a gentle tone:

"So, what do you plan to do next?"

"I plan to finish exploring the Yanguang Mountain Secret Realm before leaving Wanbao City.

However, I need to find a way to hide my identity.

I can't let Su Yun find out that I'm still here,"

Ning Feng said after a moment of deliberation.

"How about this! This is a seventh-grade disguise pill. You can take this to hide your identity while exploring the Secret Realm."

Chen Yan waved his hand, a spiritual light flashed, and a bottle of Medicinal Pills appeared in Ning Feng's hand.

"Thank you, Senior Chen!"

Ning Feng said gratefully.

Chen Yan stroked his beard and said indifferently:

"It's nothing. You are Brother Yu's Disciple; it's only right that I do this.

For now, don't go back to your room. I'll arrange a place for you to stay in the city."

"Alright, then I'll take my leave."

Ning Feng took the Medicinal Pills and left the room.

Now only Chen Yan remained in the room. With an ugly expression, he said:

"Damn it, just a little bit more!

And that Su Yun actually has such a massive background. Otherwise, I definitely wouldn't have let him off!"

"I can only do this for now—push everything onto Ning Feng.

Anyway, he already plans to leave this place!

I hope Brother Yu won't blame me!"

Chen Yan took out a communication jade token, summoned a group of subordinates to give some instructions, and then quietly waited for Chu Ningyue's return... An hour later.

Chu Ningyue brought Su Yun back to the outside of the Treasure Pavilion.

At this moment, Su Yun felt a bit awkward.

Because Chu Ningyue had been too enthusiastic on the way back, appearing as if she intended to cling to him, staying very close.

"Miss, please show some restraint!"

Xiao Die looked at Chu Ningyue's back with some helplessness, thinking to herself.

Although Young Master Su was very handsome and was also the Young Miss's savior, there was no need to be this close!

Chu Ningyue's beautiful eyes flickered as she said softly to Su Yun:

"Young Master Su, this is the Western Region Branch Pavilion of the Treasure Pavilion.

Why don't you stay here as well for now?

In two days, we can go explore Yanguang Mountain together."

"Alright!"

Su Yun nodded.

And the more Chu Ningyue looked at Su Yun, the more satisfied she felt.

During their time together just now, she noticed that Su Yun's eyes remained clear throughout; he wasn't like those Cultivation Family sons from the Central Domain who would look at her with burning eyes while pursuing her.

As expected, Su Yun was a true gentleman.

But Su Yun didn't seem very interested in her.

That made things a bit difficult!

At this time, Chen Yan heard his subordinates' report and knew that Chu Ningyue had returned to the Treasure Pavilion. He immediately stepped out of his room and came to the main entrance of the Treasure Pavilion.

As soon as he saw Chu Ningyue, he said with a face full of anxiety:

"Miss Chu, I'm sorry. It's all my fault for not sending guards to follow you earlier, which led to you being attacked by villains outside the city."

"Pavilion Master Chen, how did you know the Young Miss was attacked?"

Zhao Zhi suddenly appeared from the Void Realm and said with some suspicion.

Chen Yan leaned on his cane and said with some guilt:

"A few hours ago, the young pavilion master I previously appointed, Ning Feng, suddenly disappeared. While searching for him in Wanbao City, I accidentally caught several suspicious Black-clothed Cultivators.

After interrogation, I learned that Ning Feng was actually a spy sent by a rival force of our Treasure Pavilion.

I also found out they were going to attack Miss Chu today!

But those Black-clothed Cultivators didn't know the specific location, so I had no way to send people to save you!

It's all my fault for not seeing people clearly, causing Miss Chu to suffer!"

"It's fine, Pavilion Master Chen. Young Master Su saved me.

Please arrange a place for Young Master Su to stay; next to my quarters would be fine."

Chu Ningyue waved her hand and said indifferently.

She also suspected that it was an ambush set by Chen Yan, but without evidence, she couldn't do anything to him.

She could only wait for her father to send people over.

After all, her Dao Protector Zhao Zhi was only at the Integration Stage, Tenth Layer Realm.

She was no match for Chen Yan.

It was better not to act rashly.

Chen Yan stroked his beard and said gently:

"Alright. Thank you, Young Master Su, for saving Miss Chu. I'll arrange a room for you right away.

If you need anything, just tell me directly."

Su Yun nodded.

He glanced at Chen Yan with some admiration.

As expected of someone who could become a Branch Pavilion Master of the Treasure Pavilion; he truly was an old fox.

His words were airtight, and his expression was perfectly faked.

If he hadn't seen the life scripts of those Black-clothed Cultivators, he might have really been fooled by him.

Shortly after, Chu Ningyue led Su Yun into a newly prepared room.

At the same time, she gestured for the other two women to withdraw.

"Hmm?"

Su Yun noticed something wasn't quite right.

What did Chu Ningyue want to do?

Pulling him into a room alone?

"Young Master Su, you are a Disciple of the Taixuan Holy Land, aren't you?"

Chu Ningyue's beautiful eyes flickered as she asked softly.

"Yes, how did you know?"

Su Yun was a bit puzzled. He had only given his name and hadn't mentioned his identity. How did Chu Ningyue know?

Chu Ningyue's eyes lit up, and she said with some admiration:

"Young Master Su's strength is so great; you certainly aren't a Disciple of an ordinary Sect.

So I guessed that Young Master Su is that legendary Personal Disciple of the Taixuan Holy Land who fought an Soul Emergence Realm demon cultivator outside the Sunken Abyss Mystic Realm in the Central Domain."

She had been a great admirer of Su Yun after hearing the rumors about him.

She thought she would never have the chance to meet Su Yun.

But she didn't expect to unexpectedly meet Su Yun in the Western Region and even be saved by him!

Could this be destiny?

Otherwise, how could she explain meeting Su Yun in a place as far away as the Western Region?

Thinking of this, Chu Ningyue's pretty face turned slightly red, and she felt a flutter in her heart.

Su Yun was somewhat helpless. Had the news spread that far?

The entire Central Domain knew?

Wasn't he quite famous now?

Then, he waved his hand and said:

"It's not that exaggerated."

Chu Ningyue smiled sweetly and continued:

"Don't be humble, Young Master Su. Tell me about what happened inside the Sunken Abyss Mystic Realm!

My Realm is too low.

My father thought it was too dangerous and didn't let me go to the Sunken Abyss Mystic Realm.

So I'm especially curious about what it's like inside!"
