567: Chapter 567 You win... I admit defeat today!

Immediately after, Meng Shuyan's beautiful eyes stared straight at Su Yun. She waved her fair hand in front of him, testing his reaction.

"What! So it was just a coincidence."

This youth didn't react to her movements at all!

As expected, he hadn't discovered her; they just happened to be walking the same path!

Meng Shuyan's sandalwood-scented mouth opened slightly as she let out a sigh of relief.

But in the next moment, her expression suddenly froze.

Because Meng Shuyan noticed the youth in front of her move, looking straight at her.

"What? He really discovered me?"

A trace of panic flashed across Meng Shuyan's pretty face. Her figure was light as she hurriedly dodged to the other side.

But the youth's gaze still followed her.

Meng Shuyan's face was instantly filled with tension, and she was just about to say something.

But the youth suddenly moved. He walked right past Meng Shuyan, picked up a stone from the ground behind her, and said in a low voice:

"This stone is quite beautiful."

"Really now~ You gave me a fright. So you weren't looking at me!" Meng Shuyan finally felt at ease.

It seemed this youth hadn't discovered her after all.

She had just overthought it!

She knew it! How could she be discovered after using the Talisman given by the Clan Elder!

It was just a false alarm. Since she wasn't discovered...

...then she should leave!

If she delayed too long and was caught by the Clan Chief or Clan Elders and dragged back to the Family, it would be disastrous. She would definitely be severely lectured!

Thinking of this, Meng Shuyan's pretty face stiffened. She shuddered, then turned around, preparing to leave.

"Tsk tsk tsk, Miss Shuyan, you actually snuck out of the Ancestral Land. What would happen if I told the Clan Chief?"

A gentle voice suddenly rang out behind her.

"Ah?" Hearing this, Meng Shuyan's beautiful eyes instantly widened, her red lips parted slightly, looking somewhat dazed.

Immediately, she spun around to look at Su Yun and stammered, "You you you... can see me?"

"You're such a big person, how could I not see you!" Su Yun said with a faint smile.

Meng Shuyan quickly regained her composure, forced herself to be calm, and said in a cool tone, "You've recognized the wrong person. I'm not Meng Shuyan, I am..."

"Um~ right... I'm just an ordinary Meng Family member. I just attended the Family banquet and had to leave the Ancestral Land early because of urgent business!"

To be safe on the road, she had even used a disguise, so it was impossible to be recognized!

Thinking of this, Meng Shuyan hurriedly added another sentence:

"Meng Shuyan doesn't look like me. I'm just a plain and unremarkable Meng Family member."

"Plain and unremarkable?" Su Yun's lips twitched.

Which plain and unremarkable Meng Family member would hold such a powerful Talisman and wear a bunch of supreme grade spirit tool level spiritual dresses and jewelry?

Moreover, although Revered Master was in disguise, her cultivation had still reached the Integration Layer One Realm.

Who would believe that!

"Miss Shuyan is probably still in the Family!

She isn't allowed to leave the Ancestral Land, so if you want to find her, go back to the Family to look for her.

Alright, since we've cleared things up, I'll be... leaving first!"

After Meng Shuyan finished speaking, seeing that Su Yun seemed to believe her words, she immediately prepared to turn and slip away.

Su Yun continued, "No, no, no, I haven't recognized the wrong person. You are Miss Shuyan!"

"I really am not! Look, I don't look like her at all." Meng Shuyan shook her head, denying it.

"You are."

"I really am not."

"I watched you leave all the way from the Family Heads Great Hall, so you are Miss Shuyan!" Su Yun waved his hand, his tone serious.

"What? You've been following me all this time, what exactly do you want to do?" Meng Shuyan instantly became wary upon hearing this.

What exactly did he want?

Following her all the way behind her back?

"What I want to do isn't important. What's important is, Miss Shuyan, you wouldn't want the Clan Chief to know you secretly slipped out of the Ancestral Land, right?"

A smile curled at the corner of Su Yun's mouth.

Teasing his young Revered Master was truly quite interesting!

Anyway, Revered Master used to tease him all the time before.

So now he would tease Revered Master a bit!

"You... Humph!"

Meng Shuyan's pretty face turned red and blue in turns.

At this moment, her mind was filled with a thousand thoughts.

Ahhh!

No! Absolutely not!

She couldn't let this youth report her leaving the Ancestral Land to the Clan Chief.

Otherwise, how could she go out and wander around?

She had been looking forward to this for a long time!

It seems she could only do this...

Meng Shuyan waved her fair hand, and a spirit sword appeared in her grasp.

With just a light swing, she directly condensed a multi-colored sword light, releasing a powerful aura.

"Scared, aren't you! If you keep it a secret, I can let you go~"

Meng Shuyan's beautiful eyes darted around as she spoke directly.

This youth was a young generation Cultivator of the Family.

At most, he would be at the Spirit Transformation Realm.

With a scare like this, he would definitely obediently keep the secret!

"Oh? And if I'm unwilling?" Su Yun replied directly.

No wonder Revered Master liked to 'convince people with virtue' hundreds of years later.

It turned out she liked to take direct action when she was young!

"Humph, in that case, take a sword strike from this young lady! Prepare to be beaten!"

A trace of shame and annoyance appeared on Meng Shuyan's pretty face.

She gripped the spirit sword with her fair hand and gave it a light swing, slashing toward Su Yun's side.

Since they were from the same Family, she didn't use much strength. She didn't even use spiritual power, only a sliver of Sword Intent, to avoid truly hurting him.

"Good timing." Su Yun also reached out and directly condensed a strand of Sword Intent, which transformed into a three-foot-long crimson spirit sword.

"Wait, Sword Intent transformation into a sword... you..." Seeing this, Meng Shuyan almost failed to hold onto her spirit sword.

An ominous feeling surged in her heart.

No way?

Being able to transform Sword Intent into a sword meant that this youth had already comprehended a portion of the Sword Dao Law.

When did such a powerful young generation Cultivator appear in the Family?

Even more powerful than her?

How did she not know?

Could it be that she had been in seclusion for too long?

Another Genius had appeared in the Family?

No! It must be some special Spell, just an illusion!

Who else in the Family could be stronger than her!

Meng Shuyan took a deep breath. Ignoring everything else, she directly charged forward with her spirit sword.

Clang clang clang~

The two began to battle.

Sword lights intersected and collided with each other.

The surrounding ground cracked, and nearby spirit trees were directly reduced to ashes.

Su Yun was calm and unhurried. He just lightly swung his sword, not even using spiritual power, and blocked all of Meng Shuyan's attacks.

Soon, Meng Shuyan became breathless, drenched in fragrant sweat.

She had already used her full strength, yet she still couldn't defeat the youth before her.

Who exactly was he?

How could his strength be so great? Could he be at the Body Integration Peak, or perhaps the Enlightenment Realm?

But he seemed to be a young generation Cultivator just like herself.

Also, Meng Shuyan couldn't understand why she felt something special toward him in her heart.

"You win... Today, this young lady admits defeat. Go ahead and report to the Clan Chief!

At worst, I'll just find another opportunity next time..."

Meng Shuyan's pretty face was flushed crimson as she spoke somewhat petulantly.
