399: Senior Sister's Doubts
Hearing the two women's discussion, Su Yun waved his hand and said modestly,
"It was nothing, just a coincidence!
Let's continue watching the last few matches!"
Liu Ruoxi's beautiful eyes flickered slightly as she led a dozen Yaochi Disciples to sit in the empty seats next to Su Yun and the others.
Her beautiful eyes would occasionally size up Su Yun.
Meanwhile, Leng Xirou and Xie Yulan also noticed Liu Ruoxi's gaze.
Xie Yulan couldn't help but tighten her hold on Su Yun's arm, occasionally glancing at Liu Ruoxi while thinking to herself in confusion,
"How is Junior Brother Yun so familiar with the Yaochi Holy Maiden?
Judging by the tone of their conversation earlier, they seem to have a very good relationship; they might have known each other for a long time.
How hateful! How much time has even passed?
So many Fairies already have designs on Junior Brother Yun!
It seems I have to protect Junior Brother Yun well!"
At this thought, Xie Yulan became even more vigilant, and then she looked at Leng Xirou with some confusion.
Previously, when Leng Xirou had seen her, she had stared at her with great wariness.
Why was it that now that the Yaochi Holy Maiden, Liu Ruoxi, had arrived, she didn't seem to care at all?
Could the two of them be in cahoots?
Is that why Leng Xirou doesn't care that Liu Ruoxi and Junior Brother Yun have such a good relationship?
"Su Yun, who is this lady?"
At this moment, Liu Ruoxi, who was sitting to one side, couldn't help but ask directly while looking at Leng Xirou.
As for the Fairy in the Pink and White Ruqun sitting on Su Yun's other side, she knew who she was.
She was the Chief Disciple of the Taixuan Holy Land's Jade Pearl Peak, Xie Yulan.
But she didn't know the one on the other side.
She didn't look simple!
"My name is Leng Xirou, and I am Su Yun's Dao Companion!
You must be the Yaochi Holy Maiden! It's a pleasure to meet you!"
Leng Xirou's beautiful eyes narrowed as she spoke in a charming tone.
"Hello! Miss Xi Rou, my name is Liu Ruoxi!"
Liu Ruoxi's fair face appeared calm, but in reality, she was so angry that she was gritting her teeth.
Although her Junior Sister had mentioned in a message that a new Fairy had appeared by Su Yun's side,
and she had some inkling that the Fairy was Su Yun's Dao Companion,
hearing Leng Xirou admit it personally still made her feel quite unpleasant.
How had another Dao Companion appeared by Su Yun's side?
How hateful!
She suddenly recalled that experience in the Sunken Abyss Mystic Realm.
Back then, she had... yet Su Yun claimed he hadn't seen anything; she didn't believe him at all!
Liu Ruoxi fell into her memories.
Hearing the conversation between the two women, Xie Yulan's confusion deepened.
Are these two in cahoots or not?
Or are they just pretending not to know each other?
Xie Yulan thought for a long time but couldn't figure it out.
A moment later, Su Yun's side fell silent, as they all seemed to be watching the matches on the Arena.
Seeing this, the Cultivators from the nearby Cultivation Families and Holy Lands began to gossip again, though their voices were much lower than before.
"Here we go again, here we go again. Having a beauty on each arm wasn't enough?
Now the Yaochi Holy Maiden has been added to the mix!
Why is the Taixuan Holy Son so popular!"
"If you were as strong and as handsome as the Taixuan Holy Son, you'd be just as popular!"
...Meanwhile, in a corner of the spectator stand, Chen Hao looked toward Liu Ruoxi secretly. His eyes were bloodshot, and he couldn't help but clench his fists, murmuring,
"Ruoxi, my Ruoxi!"
He hadn't expected that after just a short time of not paying attention to Liu Ruoxi's situation,
the relationship between Liu Ruoxi and Su Yun seemed to have grown even closer.
Had something happened between them?
No!
It couldn't be!
Chen Hao's expression was unsightly. He now wished he could charge up and fight Su Yun to reclaim the Ruoxi he longed for.
But at the thought of Su Yun's formidable strength, the fury in his heart dissipated significantly, and he realized how dangerous his previous thought had been.
Su Yun had previously been able to casually deal with Dao Integration Realm Cultivators.
With his current strength, if he went up, he would only be dealt with in an instant.
At this thought, Chen Hao stopped looking at Liu Ruoxi and took several deep breaths.
After a good while, he finally regained his composure and began to close his eyes to rest... An hour later.
The top twenty of the Tianyao Domain Grand Competition had been decided.
These top twenty would all gain the qualification to explore the Mysterious Fruit Forest.
In addition to the exploration rights, there were also rewards of Heaven And Earth Treasures.
At this time, below the Arena, the Cultivators who had placed in the top twenty of the Tianyao Domain Grand Competition somewhat listlessly collected their respective ranking rewards.
Then they departed, heading to the resting area to recover their spiritual power and prepare for the upcoming exploration of the Mysterious Fruit Forest... "It looks like it's over.
Miss Liu, when will the Mysterious Fruit Forest open?"
Su Yun looked at Liu Ruoxi and asked directly.
When it came to the Mysterious Fruit Forest, Liu Ruoxi, as the Yaochi Holy Maiden, certainly knew the most, so asking her directly was the right move.
"Is it over?"
"It will open in half an hour. Our Elders need some time to open the Ancient Restriction outside the Mysterious Fruit Forest.
Once the Restriction is undone, we will be able to enter."
Liu Ruoxi was startled by Su Yun's words, then she snapped back to her senses, ending her wandering thoughts.
"Are there any other dangers inside the Mysterious Fruit Forest besides the Ancient Restriction?"
Xie Yulan asked curiously.
"I'm not sure. The outer perimeter of the Mysterious Fruit Forest is mostly Ancient Restrictions, but the depths are unclear.
After all, the area in the depths of the Mysterious Fruit Forest is vast, and our Jade Pool Holy Land hasn't fully explored it.
So besides the Ancient Restrictions, there might be other dangers."
"Alright, it's about time!
Su Yun, see you later!
I need to gather the other Yaochi Disciples who are preparing to explore the Mysterious Fruit Forest, so I'll take my leave now."
After Liu Ruoxi finished speaking, she stood up, moved with graceful steps, and hurriedly left with a dozen Yaochi Disciples... Shortly after, a Yaochi Elder flashed into the spectator stand and said directly to the younger generation Cultivators of the various major forces:
"Our Jade Pool Holy Land's Mysterious Fruit Forest is about to open.
Please move to the back of our Tianyao Tower; that is where the entrance to the Mysterious Fruit Forest is located."
Immediately, the Yaochi Elder waved a hand, and the White-clad Maidservants waiting nearby walked directly to the areas where each force was located to guide them out of the Tianyao Tower and toward the entrance of the Mysterious Fruit Forest.
Seeing a maidservant approach, Su Yun also stood up.
At the same time, Leng Xirou and Xie Yulan also stood up, quietly taking their places on either side of Su Yun.
The rest of the Taixuan Disciples also left their seats.
"Lords of the Taixuan Holy Land, please follow me!"
A beautiful maidservant came before Su Yun and the others, bowed slightly, and spoke in a respectful tone.
"Alright, then I'll trouble you!"
Su Yun nodded, then looked at the group of Taixuan Disciples:
"Let's go! We're heading out now!"
"Yes, Holy Son!"
The dozen or so Taixuan Disciples answered excitedly.
Then, led by the maidservant, Su Yun and the others quickly left the Tianyao Tower and arrived at the entrance of the Mysterious Fruit Forest behind it.
