720: Chapter 720 Am I really that easy to fool?

A flash of cunning crossed Tianxuan's eyes. With a serious expression, she said directly,

"Little Master, think about it carefully. By keeping this discovery a secret, didn't I indirectly bring you and Brother Su Yun closer together?"

"Huh? Me and Yun'er? What nonsense are you talking about! Tianxuan, don't you dare try to fool me!"

Meng Shuyan's beautiful eyes widened, utterly speechless.

As expected, she was using twisted logic!

She was still a bit too foolish, actually believing Tianxuan had some special reason!

Tianxuan blinked, seemingly having anticipated her reaction, and said unhurriedly,

"Oh, look at you... anxious again? I haven't even finished speaking! Once I'm done, you'll understand!"

Meng Shuyan frowned slightly. "Oh? Really? Then I'll keep listening! Let's see what else you can come up with!"

Tianxuan turned around with an air of mystery, raised her eyes to look at the sky, paused for a moment, and then continued,

"Little Master, back in that misty forest, weren't you so worried about Brother Su Yun's safety that you held his arm very intimately while traveling?"

"Ahem, so what if I did? Does that have anything to do with what you're saying?"

Hearing this, Meng Shuyan's beautiful eyes trembled. She coughed lightly, her Aura weakening as she suddenly recalled that intimate scene.

At this moment, a faint blush couldn't help but rise on her fair, pretty face. She looked just like a young girl in love, bashful and exceptionally radiant.

At the time, she hadn't really thought much about it. She was simply worried that Yun'er would be attacked again, so she had done it subconsciously!

Tianxuan turned her lithe body around, looked at Meng Shuyan's bashful expression, and curled her lips slightly. Then she said meaningfully,

"Exactly! If I had spoken up right after making the discovery, would you still have done that?"

"Well, this... probably not..." Meng Shuyan was stunned, momentarily at a loss for words.

This actually sounded... somewhat reasonable!

Was Tianxuan really that well-intentioned? Was it to make her take more initiative?

But she still felt like something wasn't quite right, though she couldn't put her finger on it!

"See, I hit the nail on the head!"

"You should know that I've been watching the changes in your relationship all along!"

"Ever since you and Brother Su Yun became Dao Companions, he has always been the one to take the initiative."

"But you, Little Master, due to various reasons, have never taken the initiative with your current identity~"

Meng Shuyan: "How could that be! Last time I even..."

Just then, Tianxuan seemed to guess what she wanted to say and spoke first, interrupting her.

"Oh right, stealing a kiss while Brother Su Yun was unconscious only counts as a sneak attack!"

"And taking the initiative when you pretended to have amnesia later doesn't count as taking the initiative with your current identity either~"

"So? Am I making sense?"

"It seems so, but..."

"Of course it does! Little Master, look how good I am to you!"

"And by doing this, I also indirectly helped you overcome your shyness and various worries!"

"You could say that if it weren't for my secrecy, who knows how long it would have taken for you to be this proactive!"

"Nonsense! And... when was I ever shy?!"

Meng Shuyan refuted subconsciously, then fell silent.

Tianxuan glanced at the half-believing Meng Shuyan and let out a small sigh of relief, a smug look flashing in her eyes.

The words she just said were, of course... just to fool her Little Master~

But looking at it now, the effect was actually quite good.

Hahaha!!!

She hadn't expected that... with just a few made-up words, her Little Master would actually believe her!

In reality, just as she had said at the beginning, she had simply forgotten and thus failed to tell her Little Master in time.

And it wasn't until just now, when she heard her Little Master mention Brother Su Yun being targeted by the Power of the Heavenly Dao again, that she remembered.

At this thought, Tianxuan pressed her advantage. Her eyes darted around as she continued to bluff.

"Alright, Little Master, just... don't think too much about it!"

"It's normal not to understand right now. Once you've experienced more, you'll understand my painstaking efforts. In short, those who know, know. I did it all for your own good!"

After saying this, she reached out her jade-like hand to lightly cover her moist red lips, feigning a yawn. Then, her beautiful eyes narrowed as she lazily stretched her slender waist.

"I'm a bit sleepy, Little Master. Keep up the good work! I'll go back inside the tianxuan sword to rest first! Call me if you run into any danger!"

"Mhm~ As for other matters... don't call me!"

As soon as Tianxuan finished speaking, she immediately slipped away, turning into a streak of white light and flying back into the tianxuan sword.

"Hey, Tianxuan, you..." Seeing this, Meng Shuyan was startled. She quickly snapped out of it, her lips twitching slightly.

How could she not understand now... she had been tricked again!

She thought she had been careful enough!

She didn't expect to still be fooled!

What did she mean by bringing her and Yun'er closer?

Was her relationship with Yun'er not close enough? They had already bared everything to each other...

This was clearly just Tianxuan talking nonsense!

Was she really that easy to fool?

Immediately, with a thought from Meng Shuyan, a white immortal light flashed on her fair hand as she summoned the tianxuan sword.

"Tian... xuan, come out! If you have the guts, don't hide!"

But despite calling out several times, there was no response.

Tianxuan seemed to have truly fallen into a deep sleep.

"Hmph, Tianxuan, I'll settle the score with you next time!"

Meng Shuyan helplessly withdrew the tianxuan sword back into her body.

After all, she could never wake someone who was pretending to sleep!

Then, she looked around at the ruins left behind by the battle. Her eyes grew deep, and her red lips moved as she murmured softly,

"With Yun'er's current strength, now that he is no longer targeted by the Haomiao Realm's Power of the Heavenly Dao, he shouldn't encounter any major obstacles. He'll probably cross these spaces very quickly!"

"As his Revered Master, I can't fall behind him! It seems I need to speed up as well!"

Meng Shuyan's eyes rippled with emotion as she smiled beautifully. Then, taking a light step, she instantly vanished from the spot.

Immediately after, she intensified her offensive, clearing out the Ancient Cultivators within the space while collecting immortal ascension token fragments on the way.

Earth-shattering sword hums resounded continuously throughout the entire space.

Endless multi-colored sword light enveloped all directions.

No matter what Realm of Ancient Cultivator was hit by it,

they were instantly killed.

They had no power to resist at all.

Just like that, Meng Shuyan continued to strike.

Wherever she passed, the earth split apart, leaving behind dense, bottomless sword scars that radiated terrifying Auras.

At the same time, the nearby space shattered into pieces, and endless spatial turbulence surged out.
