520: Separate people, nagging girl

“I, how could I possibly be afraid of him! Hmph, I was just…” Leng Ruoyun’s exquisite face flushed slightly with vexation, and her bright, star-like eyes darted around, betraying a hint of guilt and lack of confidence.

Seeing this, Scarlet Flame Matriarch shook her head gently and sighed, “Your invincible Dao Heart seems to have been shattered by that Chen Xuan. And once your Dao Heart is damaged, if you still wish to pursue the Great Dao in the future, it will truly be as difficult as ascending to Heaven!”

Upon hearing this, Leng Ruoyun’s heart jolted, but she still retorted stubbornly, “Impossible! Absolutely impossible! The reason I lost to Chen Xuan was entirely because the situation was urgent at the time, and I simply didn’t have time to use those powerful treasures my father gave me. If I could have another chance, with ample preparation, I… I could definitely defeat that Chen Xuan completely!”

“Oh, come on, stop being so stubborn! Haven’t all your treasures already been plundered by Chen Xuan? Could it be that you still have some hidden treasures?”

“You… shut up! Don’t mention that again! Who said all my treasures were taken by him? I still have some hidden good stuff I haven’t taken out yet! This Young Miss is going to find him and settle the score right now!” Leng Ruoyun stomped her foot in anger, her cheeks puffed out like a cute little pufferfish.

With that, her figure flickered, transforming into a streak of light and streaking away in another direction.

Gazing at Leng Ruoyun’s retreating figure, Yan Ni裳 shook her head helplessly and murmured softly, “Alas, she is still a Young Miss who has lived a pampered life and has not experienced hardship! Like a flower carefully nurtured in a greenhouse, she cannot bear even a slight setback or blow. How will she truly grow up like this?”

After speaking, Yan Ni裳 smiled disdainfully, flicked her sleeve, and turned to slowly fly forward, gradually disappearing into the horizon.

“Hey, Lan Xiang Gong, look up at the sky quickly! There’s actually a woman standing up there! Look at her demeanor, cold as ice, truly beautiful!”

At the Mining Field.

Li Jingyi suddenly sent a voice transmission to Chen Xuan.

Hearing Li Jingyi’s words, Chen Xuan couldn’t help but smile, “Little Fellow Daoist Li, your words are a bit too intimate. If you speak a few more words so unrestrainedly, I might even mistakenly think that you no longer resent me.” His tone carried a hint of teasing.

Li Jingyi’s pretty face instantly turned red with anger. She let out a delicate hmph, then extended her fair, jade-like hand and firmly pinched the exquisite hairpin on her head, expressing her displeasure.

“Alright, alright, don’t be angry. Actually, that woman above came specifically to find me. Next, you just need to do as I say.”

With that, Chen Xuan began to explain the countermeasures in detail.

However, upon hearing this, the worry on Li Jingyi’s face grew even stronger: “Lan Xiang Gong, what exactly do you intend to do? Isn’t it good that you are hiding here right now? Why do you insist on actively showing yourself? What if something goes wrong, what then?”

“It’s only because that woman came alone; it’s naturally easier to deal with her in comparison. If I keep cowering here, I might instead end up in a situation where I get nothing at all.”

“But, if you don’t go out, you’re still safe for now…”

But Chen Xuan interrupted Li Jingyi before she could finish speaking: “Oh, Little Fellow Daoist Li, have you truly fallen for me, this ‘bad guy’? Otherwise, why would you be so concerned about my safety?”

“Bah! What kind of joke is that? How could I possibly fall in love with someone like you! Don’t be so conceited, alright! It’s just… for now, you can still be considered someone relatively close to me!

After all, I ascended here alone after enduring countless hardships. This journey has been truly too boring and lonely. If even you are gone…” Li Jingyi crossed her arms over her chest, turned her head away with an arrogant expression, and continued to mumble.

This was a girl who loved to share and ramble.

Presumably, no one had listened to her talk since her Ascension, and she was quite stifled.

“Alright, I know all about it. Stop talking about these irrelevant things. Just follow my arrangements, you won’t go wrong, and don’t worry so much.”

Li Jingyi heard this.

Although she still had some dissatisfaction in her heart, hearing Chen Xuan’s confident words, she couldn’t say much more.

She let out a soft hmph, pouted unwillingly, but in the end, she still chose to obediently follow Chen Xuan’s instructions and do as he asked.

Leng Ruoyun, who was in the sky, suddenly noticed a beautiful woman among a group of miners waving at her. The next moment, she appeared in front of the beautiful woman.

“What do you want?”

“I know who you’re looking for.”

Looking at the cold as ice, beautiful as a Heavenly Immortal, and flawless face before her, Li Jingyi suddenly felt a surge of unprovoked anger.

“Hmph, that hateful Lan Xiang Gong must have somehow provoked this girl again, it’s truly infuriating!”

“Is that so?”

The next moment, a powerful and icy aura emanated from Leng Ruoyun, instantly locking onto Li Jingyi.

“And how do you know the person I am looking for?”

“His name is Chen Xuan, right? He once left something with me and instructed that if two women and one man came to inquire about his whereabouts, I should hand this item to you.”

As she spoke, Li Jingyi reluctantly reached up and removed her beloved hairpin from her head, slowly extending it towards Leng Ruoyun.

“He said one man and two women, why would you choose to give it directly to me?”

“He showed me your portrait.”

“So that’s it.”

Leng Ruoyun took the hairpin and looked at it curiously.

“Why would he specifically look for you?”

“Because…” Li Jingyi whispered a couple of sentences.

Instantly, Leng Ruoyun’s eyes filled with sympathy.

It turned out that this little Ascender in front of her, just like herself, was also someone who had been bullied by Chen Xuan!
