40: Lin Yunhan

“I… I actually didn't intend to run you over. It was, it was you who directly pulled me down, that's why I wanted the guards to beat you!”

“You are all at Foundation Establishment cultivation. Even if you can't win, you can run, so you definitely won't be in trouble!” Zhou Jingyi began to defend herself.

Chen Xuan didn't speak, just stared at her, then grabbed the young girl into his arms with a large hand and gave her a loud kiss.

Zhou Jingyi was stunned.

He, wasn't he uninterested in me? How did he suddenly change? Wuwuwu, in this remote wilderness, he won't eat me, will he? Why am I so miserable, wuwu!

“Alright, alright, consider this your compensation to me!”

“You…! I can give you money, you can't do this!” The young girl's face was flushed in his arms.

Chen Xuan, however, released the young girl, looking composed and ignoring her.

Soon, a group of people emerged from the ruins, one after another, but there was still no trace of Zhao Tianming.

Finally, after waiting for a long time, the sensing talisman in Zhou Jingyi's hand reacted.

Before she even went to look for Zhao Tianming, she already saw a young man rushing towards them.

This young man had an ordinary appearance, the kind that would be lost in a crowd, but his temperament was unyielding, giving people a reliable feeling.

“Zhou Jingyi?! How do you have my father's sensing talisman?” Zhao Tianming asked, puzzled.

“Ding, congratulations to the host for discovering the Child of Luck. Mission complete, rewarding five years of Cultivation.”

“Do you have his information?”

“Unfolding…”

Person of Luck: Zhao Tianming

Cultivation: Qi Refining Ninth Level

Physique: None

Cultivation Technique: Boundless Divine Art (Incomplete)

Skills: Blazing Sword Art (Incomplete), Dragon Leaping Tiger Leaping (Incomplete), Yellow Springs Netherworld (Incomplete)

Heaven's Mandate Value: 66666 (Extremely dangerous, host please proceed with caution)

Items: A Soul remnant in a jade pendant around his neck, Ice Silkworm Silk, Nine-Leaf Spirit Ganoderma, several Spirit Stones…

Current Status: Eager to find medicinal materials to repair his Soul.

“Repairing the Soul, huh… It seems he's following the 'don't bully a young man for being poor' trope!” Chen Xuan mused.

Upon hearing Zhao Tianming's question, Zhou Jingyi merely glanced at Zhao Tianming disdainfully and said:

“How could your father's sensing talisman be in my hand? Isn't the answer obvious?”

“What did you do?”

“Nothing much.”

She paused, then continued to mock: “My sister has already decided to break off the engagement with you. A useless person like you is simply not worthy of her. I advise you to give up as soon as possible and stop dreaming of marrying above your station.”

Zhou Jingyi's tone was full of contempt and mockery, completely disregarding Zhao Tianming.

“Zhou Jingyi, your Zhou Family dares to insult me like this!” Zhao Tianming was enraged, his eyes practically spitting fire.

“Insult you? I'm just stating facts.” Zhou Jingyi smiled indifferently, “Not only do you not reflect on your own incompetence, you actually have the nerve to come here and question me. I'm telling you, if you hadn't gone out for training a few days ago, we would have broken off the engagement long ago. Now we're just waiting for you, the party involved, to come over!”

Zhao Tianming's face was ashen, his fists clenched tightly, his fingernails digging deep into his flesh. He glared at Zhou Jingyi with hatred, secretly vowing in his heart that one day, he would make all those who looked down on him regret it.

“Good, good, good, we'll see!” Zhao Tianming laughed in extreme anger, threw down a harsh remark, and turned to leave.

“You came all this way just to say those few words? I thought there was some other relationship between you two!” Chen Xuan complained, with a hint of regret in his tone.

Zhou Jingyi: “…”

“That's right! What's wrong with me… How did I become so boring?” She also secretly wondered about her own behavior, as if she had just acted on a whim and rushed out without thinking.

Chen Xuan, however, somewhat understood.

The Child of Luck needed to be mocked, so you came. But he was too lazy to explain to this silly girl; she wouldn't understand, and it would only burn out her CPU.

Just as the two were about to leave, a sound like a Phoenix cry suddenly came from the sky. They looked back and saw the Golden Winged Spirit Beast, rushing towards them.

Chen Xuan's expression changed. He picked up the young girl beside him, took out a teleportation talisman, and was about to run, but then he heard a charming female voice.

“Zhou Jingyi? Why are you, this girl, not cultivating properly in the imperial palace, but here instead?”

The Golden Winged Spirit Beast stopped, and a charming woman jumped down from it.

The woman had a beautiful face and an ethereal temperament, as if a Fairy from the heavens had descended. She wore a snow-white long dress, with a golden silk belt tied around her waist, making her figure appear even more graceful.

However, her expression was arrogant and cold, like a blooming snow lotus, extraordinary and refined. Her gaze was sharp, as if she looked down upon all beings, disdainful of everything around her.

Every gesture she made exuded a noble aura. Her beauty and arrogance were like a thorny rose, inspiring awe while also commanding respect.

“It's, it's Fairy Leng Yue! Sect Master Lin Yunhan!”

“Oh my goodness, why is she here? What exactly is in this ruin…”

Lin Yunhan paid no attention to the crowd, but walked step by step towards the two, her steps as light as a Fairy walking on water.

Her gaze swept over everyone, finally landing on Chen Xuan, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes, but it quickly returned to calm.

Then her gaze fell on Zhou Jingyi, and she frowned slightly.

“Why aren't you cultivating properly? What are you doing here?”

“Master Lin Yunhan, I, I came over to…”

“I am not your Master, I am only your sister's Master!” Lin Yunhan frowned.

“Hehe, it's the same! My sister's Master is also my Master!” Zhou Jingyi ran directly over and hugged Lin Yunhan's arm.

“Oh, I really can't do anything with you. Since I've met you, I'll just give you a ride and send you back.” Lin Yunhan said helplessly.

Zhou Jingyi looked back at Chen Xuan.

Chen Xuan immediately felt as if he was facing a great enemy, ready to enter the Secret Realm to hide at any time.

“He… he's my friend. How about you, Master, take him to the imperial capital too!” Zhou Jingyi's eyes darted around as she pointed at Chen Xuan.

“Alright. Your own Cultivation was mostly destroyed, so you must be here to seek an Opportunity! But unfortunately, you came too late.” Lin Yunhan's tone was calm.

“Does Senior know Junior?”

“I have a bit of a connection with Han Wanqing. You don't need to think too much.” Lin Yunhan said.

Although she was very curious why that strange woman Han Wanqing would let her precious disciple out alone, she didn't ask too much. Too many things had happened during her trip to this ruin, especially that stunning young man.

“Alright, then Junior respectfully accepts.”

PS: Is the Soul remnant better as a male or female?
