428: I still prefer you the way you were before.

On the other side.

After Su Yun finished speaking with the powerhouses of various major forces.

Taixuan Elder Liu Chengfeng finally approached Su Yun unhurriedly.

His face was beaming, and his eyes glowed with heat as he looked at Su Yun, as if looking at some rare treasure. He said with some excitement:

"Su Yun, you did well this time!"

"Uh, Elder, please act normal."

Hearing this, the corner of Su Yun's mouth twitched slightly.

Elder Liu's gaze was a bit off, making him feel a bit of a chill.

"Cough, cough, cough, I'm just a bit too excited.

Su Yun, don't mind me!

This time you saved the younger generation of Cultivators from various major forces, helping our Holy Land gain so much favor.

If you want any reward, feel free to mention it to me. If I can't do it, I can go back and report to the Holy Lord.

Let the Holy Lord reward you properly!"

Liu Chengfeng rubbed his hands and continued.

"None for now, thank you for your concern, Elder Liu."

Su Yun waved his hand and said.

Next, he prepared to take the Taixuan Disciples and follow Liu Chengfeng back to the Holy Land.

Seeing this, the White-robed Elder of the Jade Pool hurriedly spoke up:

"Holy Son Su, please stay a moment and let our Jade Pool Holy Land properly host you!"

"Also, I heard our Saintess is very familiar with you?"

"We have a good relationship."

"That's wonderful. Ruoxi, come here!"

The White-robed Elder of the Jade Pool waved her hand.

Soon, Liu Ruoxi came forward with several Yaochi Disciples.

After seeing Su Yun.

She bowed slightly and said in a respectful tone:

"Holy Son Su, please follow me."

Xie Yulan, who was on the side, had her beautiful eyes flicker as she asked directly:

"Can I go too?"

At this moment, her heart was incredibly wary.

This Yaochi Holy Maiden was clearly eyeing her handsome Junior Brother.

So she had to follow along to prevent the Yaochi Holy Maiden from having any ill intentions toward Junior Brother Yun.

"Of course, Miss Yulan."

Liu Ruoxi smiled slightly, though her smile was a bit stiff.

After all, she wasn't used to hosting others so respectfully.

It was only to repay Su Yun for saving her life three times.

That she did this.

"Su Yun~

I'm going too!"

At this time, Leng Xirou hugged Su Yun's arm, her voice sweet and full of charm.

"Alright, let's go together. Miss Liu doesn't mind, right?"

"I don't mind!"

Liu Ruoxi said directly.

Seeing this, Liu Chengfeng patted Su Yun's shoulder and said with a wink:

"Su Yun, then I'll take the other Disciples back to the Holy Land first.

Since the Jade Pool Holy Land wants to host you, then go ahead!

Also, you must take care of your health!

Return to the Holy Land early!"

Su Yun was a bit speechless. What did he mean by taking care of his health?

Did he need to take care of his health?

He knew how powerful his Physique was.

Besides, Elder Liu probably misunderstood!

He and Liu Ruoxi were just ordinary friends, what was he talking about?

And the White-robed Elder of the Jade Pool also looked at Liu Chengfeng and said politely:

"Elder Liu, you can stay too.

Our Jade Pool Holy Land will host you well."

"No need, it's enough for our Saint to stay."

After Liu Chengfeng finished speaking, he cupped his hands to the several Yaochi Elders, gave Su Yun a meaningful look, and then left with Li Guanshan and the others.

"Holy Son Su, please follow me~"

Then, Liu Ruoxi led the way, and Su Yun's trio followed.

The Yaochi Elders nodded in satisfaction upon seeing this:

"Not bad, it seems Ruoxi's relationship with the Taixuan Holy Son is quite good."

"In that case, we can rest easy!"

"We should hurry and prepare the thank-you gift for the Taixuan Holy Son!

Also, we need to properly handle the dissatisfaction of the various major forces regarding the Mysterious Fruit Forest incident."

"That's right, let's set out now."

Immediately, after the several Yaochi Elders closed the exit passage of the Mysterious Fruit Forest, they split up and disappeared on the spot... Tianyao City.

The most luxurious place in the city was the Yaoguang Pavilion.

It was said that it usually only served to host Enlightenment and Tribulation Crossing Realm powerhouses from various major forces by the Jade Pool Holy Land.

So ordinary Cultivators had never even entered the Yaoguang Pavilion.

And today, a group of people entered the Yaoguang Pavilion directly.

Leading them was a stunningly beautiful Fairy in a plain white dress, carrying a cold and otherworldly temperament.

Behind the beautiful Fairy was a handsome Black-clothed youth.

Two other Fairies walked alongside the Black-clothed youth on his left and right.

One wore a pink and white ruqun, looking lively and spirited.

The other wore a silver-white neon dress, possessing a natural charm.

Behind these four were several beautiful Fairies in green dresses.

This immediately caught the eyes of many Cultivators in Tianyao City, especially those who had just finished the final round of the Tianyao Domain Grand Competition and hadn't left yet.

"Is that the Yaochi Holy Maiden?

Who is that behind her?

To actually be able to follow the Yaochi Holy Maiden into the Yaoguang Pavilion?

Could it be some Enlightenment and Tribulation Crossing Realm powerhouse?"

"That's not right, why does that person look so young?

Could it be a powerhouse with a youthful appearance?"

"I'm so envious!

To be so grandly hosted by the Jade Pool Holy Land, he must be some peerless powerhouse!

Surrounded by so many beautiful Fairies!"

"Wait, that person seems to be the Taixuan Holy Son!

Isn't the Taixuan Holy Son a Cultivator of the younger generation?

He actually has the qualification to be invited into the Yaoguang Pavilion?"

...The passing Cultivators discussed spiritedly, incredibly shocked, but also somewhat confused, unable to figure it out for a long time.

"Isn't it normal for the Taixuan Holy Son to be able to enter the Yaoguang Pavilion?"

At this time, a Red-clothed youth holding a folding fan said with a certain tone.

"Brother, pray tell!"

The other Cultivators were immediately curious upon hearing this.

The Red-clothed youth then recounted what had happened inside the Mysterious Fruit Forest, and as a result, the surrounding Cultivators gasped one after another.

Soon, rumors about Su Yun's formidable strength spread throughout Tianyao City... Inside the Yaoguang Pavilion.

The decorations everywhere were magnificent, emitting various mystical lights. The walls were constructed from some kind of Ancient Jade, and many precious Spiritual Paintings hung upon them.

These Spiritual Paintings depicted various flowers, plants, and trees, lifelike and carrying a trace of powerful Law power.

Many elegant and beautiful Blue-skirted maids were moving about. Upon seeing Su Yun and the others, they respectfully came forward to lead the way.

"Holy Son Su, we'll be there soon!"

Liu Ruoxi's red lips moved, her voice like an orchid in a deep valley.

"Miss Liu, there's no need to be so respectful. I still like how you used to be.

Aren't we friends?"

Su Yun always felt that Liu Ruoxi was a bit strange.

She wasn't like this before in the Mysterious Fruit Forest.

How did she become like this after not seeing her for so long?

Liu Ruoxi's composure broke in a second upon hearing this, a faint blush appearing on her pretty face as she hurriedly explained:

"I... where was I being respectful?

I just wanted to thank you for helping our Jade Pool Holy Land.

As for 'liking' or whatever... don't say such nonsense."

Hearing this, the several Yaochi Disciples behind them burst into laughter.

Liu Ruoxi immediately turned back and glared at the Yaochi Disciples, then looked at Su Yun again and said directly:

"Young Master Su, I'm sorry for making you see that!"

"That's more like it."

Su Yun smiled faintly.

"Young Master Su, our Jade Pool Holy Land has prepared the most luxurious room in the Yaoguang Pavilion for you.

Please follow me!"

Liu Ruoxi also gave up her previous somewhat respectful posture and walked naturally alongside Su Yun.
