402: The protagonist's decision

“Then, Senior Sister Yulan, I'll trouble you with getting the spirit fruit tree branches later.”

Su Yun said with a faint smile.

He almost forgot that Xie Yulan was a master at cultivating Spiritual Plants.

Just from the potted plant she gave him, it was clear that Xie Yulan's skill in cultivating Spiritual Plants was considerable.

“Junior Brother Yun, leave it to me!”

Xie Yulan's lips curved slightly upon hearing this, and she said with some excitement.

This was the first time Junior Brother Yun had ever asked her for a favor!

So, she definitely had to help Junior Brother Yun well.

After all, she certainly couldn't help him with strength.

But with matters related to Spiritual Plants, she could definitely be of assistance.

Thinking of this, Xie Yulan glanced at Leng Xirou somewhat smugly.

See!

It's still me, your Senior Sister, who can help.

Your strength, you suspicious Fairy, is definitely not as strong as Su Yun's, so you probably can't help in battle, let alone anything else.

“Miss Yulan is amazing!

She even knows how to cultivate Spiritual Plants!”

Leng Xirou didn't care about Xie Yulan's smug look at all; instead, she said with a beaming smile.

In the past, she would have definitely competed with Xie Yulan, unwilling to show weakness.

But after Su Yun's warning glance.

She didn't dare to be jealous anymore, otherwise, if Su Yun got angry, she wouldn't be able to handle it.

Hearing Leng Xirou's praise, Xie Yulan suddenly felt like she had punched cotton.

But she didn't think much of it.

Hmph hmph!

Leng Xirou must have admitted defeat!

“Let's go, let's start exploring the Mysterious Fruit Forest!”

Su Yun took the lead and began to delve deeper into the Mysterious Fruit Forest.

Liu Ruoxi hesitated for a moment, then also led the Yaochi Disciples to accompany Su Yun and the others.

After all, among the Saints of the various Holy Lands, Su Yun was the only one she was relatively familiar with.

Moreover, there were many dangerous Ancient Restrictions within this Mysterious Fruit Forest.

Exploring with familiar people would be safer.

It was definitely not because she wanted to follow Su Yun!

At this moment, she didn't notice that the Yaochi Disciples behind her were already secretly laughing:

“She said she wouldn't follow Young Master Su!

But she still followed!”

“The Saintess just likes to say one thing and mean another!”

“To be honest, the current Saintess is so different from the former Saintess!”

“Yes, I think the current Saintess is better; although the former Saintess was also good, she had no emotional changes. Every time I talked to the Saintess, I felt like she wasn't very happy.”

“And she still says Young Master Su isn't the Saintess's beloved!

If she didn't have a beloved, could the Saintess have changed so much?

It's so obvious!”

...Liu Ruoxi turned her head as if sensing something; she always felt that the Yaochi Disciples were secretly planning something.

But when she turned around, she only saw Li Xue and the other Yaochi Disciples looking at her with playful smiles.

Was it an illusion?

She shook her head and continued to explore the Mysterious Fruit Forest with Su Yun and the others.

At this time, the teams from the various great Holy Lands and other Cultivators had dispersed, exploring the Mysterious Fruit Forest in various directions... In the Lingwu Holy Land's team.

“Saint, which way should we go now?

How about we follow the Taixuan Holy Land's team!

The Taixuan Holy Son is so strong; exploring with them would provide mutual support.”

A robust Spiritual Martial Disciple looked at Chen Hao and suggested.

Chen Hao's expression stiffened upon hearing this; he had originally been feeling secretly upset watching Liu Ruoxi lead the Yaochi Disciples directly follow Su Yun and the others.

But his Junior Brother's words instantly brought him back to his senses.

He looked at this Junior Brother somewhat speechlessly, thinking to himself:

“You, with your thick eyebrows and big eyes!

Are you trying to get me killed?

Make me follow Su Yun's team?

Are you tired of living?”

He was already scrambling to avoid Su Yun; just now, he had deliberately arrived at the entrance of the Mysterious Fruit Forest the latest, choosing the farthest possible spot to stand.

Now was still his time to lie low.

The time for revenge had not yet come.

And he's asking him to offer himself up?

This place was not like the outside; if he were killed within the Mysterious Fruit Forest, even the Elders of the Lingwu Holy Land would likely find it difficult to investigate who did it.

He even suspected this Junior Brother was doing it on purpose.

Anyone with eyes could see he was avoiding Su Yun.

Thinking of this, Chen Hao said in a deep voice:

“No, let's explore the outer perimeter first!

Maybe there will be some precious spirit fruits.

Moreover, as Lingwu Holy Land Cultivators, are we any worse than others?

There's no need to cooperate with others to explore!

A mere Ancient Restriction in the Mysterious Fruit Forest cannot stump us!”

He finished speaking with a confident smile.

“Saint, you're right, then let's explore the outer perimeter!”

“With the Saint leading us, we will definitely have great gains.”

...More than a dozen Spiritual Martial Disciples said with some excitement.

“Let's go.”

Chen Hao glanced once more at Liu Ruoxi's figure, which was almost disappearing, then turned and led the Spiritual Martial Disciples to start exploring the surroundings... Not far away.

Su Yun also noticed Chen Hao and his group turning around and leaving.

He had thought Chen Hao would continue to follow!

He didn't expect Chen Hao to actually chicken out.

It seemed he would have to find the Opportunity in Chen Hao's life script himself.

“What's wrong?”

Liu Ruoxi asked, somewhat puzzled.

“Nothing, the trees nearby seem to have become denser.

These must be Extreme Flame Fruits!”

“They should be; there are so many on them, let's go pick some!”

“Okay.”

Su Yun nodded and said.

Before everyone now was a towering, crimson giant tree, on which flames strangely burned.

The outer perimeter of this tree was surrounded by complex Ancient Restrictions, continuously releasing heart-palpitating flames, filling the surrounding Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi with a scorched smell.

“Saint, let's first test this Ancient Restriction!”

Li Guanshan's deep yellow Spiritual Energy surged, transforming into a giant rock shield, and he rushed into the Ancient Restriction area with several Taixuan Disciples.

As they approached, the Ancient Restriction around the extreme flame fruit tree suddenly released a sea of fire, and dazzling red spiritual light illuminated an area of several miles.

Boom boom boom boom boom!

Violent explosions suddenly rang out.

Li Guanshan and the others were instantly attacked by endless flames, their Spiritual Energy Barriers directly swaying precariously, on the verge of collapsing.

Just then, Su Yun waved his hand, and the sea of fire was instantly dispelled.

Li Guanshan and the others immediately took this Opportunity to retreat.

“Saint, we... are too weak!

If it weren't for your help just now, we...”

Li Guanshan and the others felt a bit ashamed; they had intended to try and pick the spirit fruits.

But in the end, they couldn't even withstand the attack of the outer Ancient Restriction.

“It's alright, it's not your fault!

The power of this Ancient Restriction is a bit unusual.”

“Does the outer Restriction really have the power of the Chūqiào Fifth Level Realm?”

Su Yun was somewhat puzzled.

This didn't match the rumors he had heard.

Liu Ruoxi, however, said with a solemn expression:

“That shouldn't be; when our Jade Pool Holy Land came to explore before, the Ancient Restrictions in the outer area weren't that powerful!

What's going on now?”

She immediately felt a sense of foreboding.

Could something have happened to the Mysterious Fruit Forest?
