350: The protagonist who was carried away, the girl's past.

The Li Family Cultivators breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

After all, they didn't want to offend Su Yun either.

Earlier, when Su Yun dealt with those hundreds of demonic cultivators, he had displayed the strength of the Enlightenment Layer One Realm.

Thus, Su Yun was effectively a powerhouse at the Enlightenment Layer One Realm.

Add to that the fact that Su Yun was the Taixuan Holy Son and the disciple of True Person Liuguang.

With his formidable strength and various identities combined, even the strongest Cultivation Family in the Central Domain might not dare to offend Su Yun, let alone their Li Family.

The leading Li Family Cultivator glanced at several of his clansmen.

With a tacit understanding, the Li Family Cultivators stepped forward to lift the bruised and swollen Ye Jingchen, vanishing from the spot with extreme speed.

The dozen or so Taixuan Disciples present stopped pretending to be heavily injured.

Those lying on the ground stood up one after another, those spitting blood swallowed it back down, and their pale complexions instantly regained a healthy flush.

Immediately, they all looked at Su Yun with high spirits and spoke in admiring tones:

"The Saint is truly amazing!

A single punch knocked that Ye Jingchen flat on his back!"

"Indeed, Ye Jingchen was already the Saint's defeated opponent, yet he still dared to cause trouble here!"

"The Saint seems to have grown stronger again. I must learn from the Saint and cultivate diligently!"

...With a thought, a dozen bottles of cultivation Medicinal Pills appeared before Su Yun. With a casual wave of his hand, he distributed them, giving one bottle to each of the dozen Taixuan Disciples present.

The Li Family had compensated him with a large pile of pills anyway, many of which weren't very useful to him, so they were perfect to give to these Taixuan Disciples who had sustained some injuries.

Consider it compensation from Ye Jingchen to them.

"We thank the Saint for the gift of pills!"

The dozen Taixuan Disciples put away the pills and cupped their hands toward Su Yun, their voices tinged with excitement.

They had suffered slight injuries earlier under the pressure of Ye Jingchen's powerful aura.

But with the pills given by the Saint,

this was not a loss at all!

After all, these were Grade Six Cultivation Medicinal Pills, which could be considered extremely precious and were enough to help them Breakthrough several minor Realms.

"Saint, I'll head back to cultivate first!"

"Saint, I won't disturb you here any longer, I'm leaving now!"

...One of the Taixuan Disciples, seeing Mu Wanning standing beside Su Yun, left of his own accord.

The other Taixuan Disciples also showed meaningful smiles and subsequently departed.

Soon, all the dozen Taixuan Disciples outside the pavilion returned inside.

"???"

Su Yun was somewhat puzzled.

Why were the gazes of these Taixuan Disciples so strange, and why were they running away so fast?

"Su Yun~"

Standing beside Su Yun, Mu Wanning's pretty face was slightly flushed as she spoke in a gentle tone.

"Thank you for helping me get revenge!"

After speaking, she looked at Su Yun with a burning gaze.

She remembered how Su Yun had beaten Ye Jingchen on the Arena before, which she found very satisfying.

And just now, Su Yun had beaten Ye Jingchen again, getting revenge for her once more, making her feel even better.

As expected of the person who gave her a feeling of warmth and even helped her get revenge.

How should she repay Su Yun?

At this thought, a flash of deep purple lightning flickered in Mu Wanning's beautiful eyes.

"Revenge?"

Su Yun was somewhat curious.

He had thought Mu Wanning and Ye Jingchen knew each other from before, just that they didn't get along.

He hadn't expected there to be a grudge.

"Tell me more!"

Su Yun looked at Mu Wanning and spoke in a gentle tone.

Mu Wanning's beautiful eyes lit up, and she was secretly delighted.

She looked around, then extended her jade-like hand toward the direction of the woods not far away and said:

"Let's go to the pavilion deep in the woods to talk!"

The area around the pavilion deep in the woods was very secluded; no one was nearby, so they wouldn't be disturbed.

Furthermore, An Yuyao and the other two women were still in their rooms and hadn't come over.

It was the perfect opportunity to be alone with Su Yun.

She certainly couldn't let it go to waste.

"Alright."

Su Yun nodded.

Then, the two of them flickered into the woods and soon arrived inside the pavilion.

Inside the pavilion sat a white jade round table, surrounded by several exquisitely shaped stone stools.

Su Yun sat on one of the stone stools, while Mu Wanning sat on one beside him.

"It's like this..."

Mu Wanning naturally leaned closer and softly recounted the experience of having her food snatched by Ye Jingchen when she was a child.

"This..."

Su Yun looked at Mu Wanning with a strange expression.

After hearing what Mu Wanning said, he finally understood the sequence of events.

He had wondered why Ye Jingchen would come looking for her and claim he wanted to repay Mu Wanning's kindness; it turned out that fifteen years ago, Mu Wanning's food had saved Ye Jingchen's life.

In Mu Wanning's view, Ye Jingchen had wanted to steal her food.

But in Ye Jingchen's view, Mu Wanning had been gentle and kind, giving him food before running away shyly.

This was another classic plotline.

If he hadn't intervened,

the misunderstanding between the two would surely have been resolved in the end.

Unfortunately, with him here, this misunderstanding would never be cleared up.

However, this Ye Jingchen was truly pathetic; he was hated by the female protagonist from the moment they met and had been beaten twice by him.

"Thank you, Su Yun.

For helping me vent my frustration!"

Mu Wanning's beautiful eyes flickered as she reached out her jade hand to grasp Su Yun's, speaking gratefully once more.

Su Yun only felt his hand being held by a soft, boneless jade hand, and she held it very tightly, as if she didn't want to let go.

An elegant, faint fragrance wafted into his nose.

He could clearly see Mu Wanning's light purple eyes and her delicate, crimson lips.

"Su Yun, are you willing to listen to my childhood experiences?"

Mu Wanning felt the warmth in her palm and was secretly delighted.

After several months, she finally felt this warm sensation again.

Although she had also moved into the Saint Sons Cave Abode,

with An Yuyao and the other two women around, she had no chance to be alone with Su Yun.

Now was a god-sent opportunity.

She had to make sure to grasp it firmly.

"Sure."

Su Yun said directly.

Mu Wanning's crimson lips moved slightly as she slowly recounted her childhood experiences.

This was the first time she had ever told anyone these things.

It could be said that Su Yun was the only person she had ever opened her heart to.

As she spoke, she felt the darkness of her childhood slowly resurfacing in her mind, making her hands and feet feel icy, with waves of chill emerging from within.

But then, the waves of warmth coming from Su Yun's hand dispelled the darkness in her heart, and that chill instantly vanished.

Not only was she no longer afraid, but she also felt a great sense of warmth in her heart.

Su Yun also listened to Mu Wanning's words throughout.

He hadn't expected Mu Wanning to have such a tragic past.

Mu Wanning had been wandering outside at such a young age; she must have suffered a lot.

As Mu Wanning finished speaking, her eyes were slightly red, and a crystal tear quietly fell. She said with a trembling voice:

"Su Yun, can you give me a hug?"

"Okay!"

Su Yun didn't refuse; he reached out his hands, preparing to hug Mu Wanning.

Mu Wanning, however, flickered and threw herself directly into his arms, hugging him first.

Su Yun, feeling the warm and soft sensation in his arms, also hugged Mu Wanning.

The two did not speak, savoring this warm moment...
