427: Dear seniors, I'll definitely do it next time!

After a wave of spatial fluctuations...

A dozen or so figures appeared—it was Su Yun and his group.

At this time, several Yaochi Elders waiting on both sides of the passage immediately stepped forward with smiles on their faces.

The leading Elder in white, who was at the First Layer of Tribulation Crossing Realm, said in a gentle tone:

"Saint Su, thank you for helping our Jade Pool Holy Land resolve the crisis in the Mysterious Fruit Forest!"

She no longer looked at Su Yun as a Junior, but as a fellow Cultivator.

After all, Su Yun was able to defeat the Tree Demon Clan Leader, who possessed half-step Tribulation strength, in just a few moves.

Perhaps his strength had already reached the First Layer of Tribulation Crossing Realm.

"Seniors of the Jade Pool Holy Land, this Junior was merely lending a hand!"

Su Yun cupped his hands and spoke politely upon seeing this.

The other experts from various major forces who had been waiting for a long time also stepped forward one after another:

"Saint Su, thank you for saving my son!

This is our Family's token.

If you encounter any trouble in the future, you can use this token to contact us, and our Family will do its utmost to help you!"

"Saint Su, this is a small token of appreciation from our Sect!"

"Saint Su, you are welcome to visit our Xuanqing Holy Land as a guest!"

..."Seniors, next time for sure!"

Su Yun responded calmly to the invitations from the experts of the various major forces.

A large pile of thank-you gifts was also stuffed into his hands.

Of course, he wanted to refuse.

However, their hospitality was hard to decline, so he could only accept them.

Saving these young Cultivators was just something he did in passing.

But now it seemed like it wasn't a loss at all.

Not only did he harvest many Heaven And Earth Treasures, but he also gained the favors of various major forces in the Central Domain.

Even in the world of immortal cultivation, one had to pay attention to social favors and worldly wisdom.

Since they weren't hostile forces anyway, building good relationships might lead to unexpected benefits somewhere in the future... Not far away, Chen Hao, who was among the Spiritual Martial group, saw this scene; his eyes turned red, and he almost drooled with envy.

Dammit!

This was clearly the treatment he should have had!

Why was it all on Su Yun now?

And did he hear correctly just now?

The massive commotion inside the Mysterious Fruit Forest earlier...

Was actually caused by the spiritual energy aftershocks from Su Yun's battle with the experts of the Tree Demon Clan?

How was that possible?

How much time had passed?

Su Yun was already that strong?

Could he really succeed in seeking revenge?

Thinking of this, Chen Hao fell into a state of confusion.

A moment later, after thinking of Liu Ruoxi, he perked up again.

For his Ruoxi!

He couldn't give up!

Only he could give Ruoxi happiness!

Immediately, Chen Hao walked toward where the Yaochi group was located.

Before leaving the Tianyao Region, he planned to meet Ruoxi and see if he could first resolve their previous misunderstanding.

At least let Ruoxi know that he didn't intentionally injure the Yaochi Disciples before.

Now was the best time; after all, Su Yun was still talking with the experts of the various major forces and couldn't notice him for the time being.

"Please stop!

Are you the Spiritual Martial Holy Son, Chen Hao?

Is there something you need?"

Several Yaochi Disciples directly blocked Chen Hao.

"I am an old acquaintance of Saintess Liu, I..."

Before Chen Hao could finish his sentence...

Li Xue, who was in the Yaochi group, recognized him and hurriedly said:

"Junior Sisters, it's this person. Last time in the Sunken Abyss Mystic Realm, the Saintess didn't want to see him.

He directly injured several of our sisters!"

When she was pretending to be the Saintess last time, she felt that the only thing she hadn't done well was letting the person who injured the Yaochi Disciples escape.

So seeing Chen Hao deliver himself to their doorstep this time, she felt the opportunity had come.

She must teach this person a good lesson!

"What?

It was you who injured our sisters?"

"Let's teach him a lesson together!"

"Take this!"

...A trace of anger flashed across the faces of the several Yaochi Disciples as they rolled up their sleeves and circulated their spiritual energy, wanting to teach Chen Hao a lesson.

"Fairies of the Jade Pool Holy Land, it's a misunderstanding!

I came this time to apologize!"

Chen Hao looked at Li Xue with some annoyance and hurriedly waved his hands to explain.

What was going on?

He didn't seem to have met this Fairy before?

Why was there such great hostility toward him upon meeting?

"What happened?"

Just then, a voice like a valley orchid rang out.

Liu Ruoxi walked over with light steps from not far away and came to Li Xue's side.

She had been arranging a place to host Su Yun tonight.

But hearing the noise from the Yaochi group's side, she came straight over.

"You again?

You still dare to appear before me?"

After seeing Chen Hao, a look of disgust flashed across Liu Ruoxi's pretty face.

Her originally good mood vanished instantly.

"Ruoxi, it's me!

Last time was really a misunderstanding!

Listen to my explanation!"

"What misunderstanding?

I ask you, did you or did you not injure my sisters?"

"Yes... no, that was just an accident!

I was just careless!"

"I don't care if it was an accident or not, the fact is you did it!

As the Yaochi Saintess, I must seek justice for my sisters!"

Liu Ruoxi waved her delicate hand, and her Immaculate Spiritual Energy began to circulate, releasing a startling aura.

"Ruoxi~

I..."

Chen Hao still wanted to quibble—oh no, to explain.

At this moment, the Lingwu Elder also arrived at Chen Hao's side, pressed down on his arm, and then said somewhat apologetically to Liu Ruoxi and the others:

"Yaochi Saintess, I'm sorry, this is our Spiritual Martial Holy Son's fault!

Regarding the matter of injuring the Yaochi Disciples, our Lingwu Holy Land will compensate for it."

Immediately after, the Lingwu Elder waved his hand, and a Storage Ring filled with Heaven And Earth Treasures flew into the Yaochi group.

Li Xue caught the Storage Ring, and after confirming it was correct, she nodded to Liu Ruoxi.

"Senior of the Lingwu Holy Land, since you have intervened, then let this matter go.

I only hope the Spiritual Martial Holy Son will not come to harass me again in the future."

Liu Ruoxi stopped circulating her spiritual energy and spoke directly.

Since the Lingwu Elder had stepped in to mediate and even provided compensation, it wouldn't be good for her to continue attacking.

The Lingwu Elder nodded and left directly with Chen Hao.

"Chen Hao, what on earth is going on?

You performed quite well before.

Why have you become so reckless now?"

The Lingwu Elder looked at Chen Hao and spoke with some confusion.

But Chen Hao remained silent.

"Forget it, let this matter pass. Come with me to meet the Taixuan Holy Son.

You are both young Cultivators; it should be easier for you to build a good relationship!"

The Lingwu Elder shook his head and said somewhat helplessly.

As the Spiritual Martial Holy Son, Chen Hao would surely become the Lingwu Holy Master in the future.

Building a good relationship now with the Taixuan Holy Son, Su Yun, who was destined to rise, would be beneficial.

This would be good for the Lingwu Holy Land later, and for Chen Hao himself.

"Su Yun again!

Why?

And I have to get on good terms with him?

Impossible!"

Chen Hao clenched his fists and thought to himself.

In his mind, he recalled Liu Ruoxi's disgust-filled expression from just now.

Before, Liu Ruoxi hadn't even used that kind of expression toward him.

But now she treated him like this.

Thinking of this, Chen Hao glanced at Liu Ruoxi in the distance again.

He saw a faint smile on Liu Ruoxi's pretty face as she led the Yaochi Disciples toward Su Yun's side.

Such differential treatment instantly made him feel dizzy, and anger surged within him.

No... his Ruoxi!

The next moment, his vision went black, and he fainted.

"Chen Hao?

Why did he faint?"

The Lingwu Elder looked at Chen Hao with some disappointment.

He had only said a few words to Chen Hao, and he fainted?

His mental resilience was far too poor!
