202: Keeping the appointment

When Shen Lian returned to the ground from the vast sky, Shen Chuyun had already awakened.

Unexpectedly, Su Mengyao was actually getting along very well with Shen Chuyun. Seeing the two of them communicating calmly couldn't help but make Shen Lian knit his brows slightly.

"Boring."

After watching for a while, Shen Lian spat out two words, walked to the other side to sit down, closed his eyes, and began to ponder the battle at Twin Peaks in ten days.

His current cultivation was at the fourth stage of the Immortal Realm, while Feng Yutao's cultivation was at least at the second stage of the Limit-Breaking Realm.

Looking at the data alone, the gap between the two was like heaven and earth.

But for Shen Lian, such paper data was meaningless.

At this moment, only boiling, unstoppable Battle Intent was surging within his heart.

"Revered Master."

Just then, Su Mengyao's voice sounded in his ear.

"Hmm?"

The instant he opened his eyes, he was met with Su Mengyao's slightly strange, pretty face.

"What are you doing?"

"Revered Master, I know everything now. This is your Revered Master, right? Why didn't you introduce me?"

"What does that have to do with you?"

"Revered Master's Revered Master, what do you think I should call her?"

"Su Mengyao, do you think you have too much free time!"

Qi surged around Shen Lian, directly forcing Su Mengyao back several steps.

"Do you still have time to waste now?"

Su Mengyao panted and said, "Revered Master, calm your anger. This Disciple was just curious."

Shen Lian pointed a finger: "Then have you ever heard the saying, curiosity killed the cat."

Upon hearing this, Su Mengyao muttered softly: "I'm not a cat. What does a dead cat have to do with me?"

"Hmm?"

When Shen Lian heard this, his face immediately darkened.

"Say that again, Su Mengyao. Did I give you a few days of kindness and you've already forgotten who you are?"

Su Mengyao quickly waved her hands and retreated.

"Hmph."

After a cold snort, his gaze accidentally met Shen Chuyun's.

Shen Chuyun's eyes were filled with tenderness, making it difficult for Shen Lian to even look directly at her.

"Boring."

Spitting out two words, Shen Lian closed his eyes again.

"Why don't you dare to look at me?"

Only a moment later, Shen Chuyun's cold voice sounded in Shen Lian's ear.

Shen Lian opened his eyes and was met with Shen Chuyun's breathtakingly beautiful face.

Especially in those Phoenix eyes filled with mist, which contained complex emotions that were hard to describe.

After a moment of distraction, Shen Lian asked in a deep voice: "What exactly do you want to do?"

Shen Chuyun: "I want to ask you, after you kill Xu Feifei, what do you plan to do?"

"Naturally, to continue exploring the Dao and step into a higher Peak."

"So you are going to abandon me again, is that it?"

Shen Chuyun grabbed Shen Lian's hand.

"Are you going to be like last time, leaving me at the wedding scene and going off alone to explore the so-called Dao you speak of, is that it?"

Shen Lian shook off her hand, stood up, and said: "Enough. I said that's all in the past. Why do you keep harping on it?"

Shen Chuyun smiled: "Actually, you've always been afraid to face me, right?"

"What did you say? Who am I afraid to face?"

Shen Lian's expression turned cold.

"Su Luoyan, don't think that these five hundred years of protection mean you can do whatever you want to me!"

Shen Chuyun smiled beautifully upon hearing this: "Su Luoyan, you actually still remember this name. That really surprises me."

Shen Lian only then realized his slip of the tongue, turned around angrily, but saw Su Mengyao in the distance sitting cross-legged, regulating her Qi.

"The Disciple you took in is more than a hundred times better than those seven who occupied your original body. Not only is her talent outstanding, but her character is also one in ten thousand. You have good taste."

Shen Chuyun stood beside Shen Lian, watching Su Mengyao in the distance together.

The sunset glow fell behind the two, casting a long shadow.

Before Shen Lian could speak, Shen Chuyun had already gently rested her cheek on his shoulder.

At this moment, Shen Lian's heart, cold as iron, seemed to be touched by something.

Seeing that Shen Lian did not reject her, a faint smile appeared on the corner of Shen Chuyun's mouth.

She really hoped that time would stop at this moment, so she could stay with the man she loved most and never be separated.

"Feng Yutao found you, right?"

"You already knew?"

"I am at the fifth stage of the Immortal Realm, after all. How could I not sense the appearance of a strong person?"

Shen Lian closed his eyes and said nothing.

Shen Chuyun raised her eyes: "I said I wouldn't stop you, but you must be extremely careful when you go. Your current cultivation is far from your Peak in your previous life. Against the Limit-Breaking Realm, you must be fully focused."

Shen Lian: "No need for your preaching. I have my own plans on how to deal with Feng Yutao."

Shen Chuyun: "Then you should at least know relevant information about Feng Yutao. His cultivation Foundation is unparalleled on the Immortal Island; he cannot be treated the same as the other six. In addition, Feng Yutao's Shocking Palm is enough to shake the heavens. You must be careful and never take it head-on."

"Nonsense."

Shen Lian shrugged his shoulder, forcing Shen Chuyun away.

"The more insurmountable the fortress, the more it stirs my desire to break through it."

"A mere Limit-Breaking Realm, a petty Shocking Palm, cannot stop Shen Lian's ambition to tread the Dao."

"Feng Yutao, I will make him, along with Xu Feifei, regret everything together!"

Shen Chuyun couldn't help but purse her lips and smile.

"What are you smiling at?"

"No, I'm just thinking that this is the Shen Lian I know, this is the man I yearn to marry."

"Shut up, what does this have to do with you!" Shen Lian turned around and shouted angrily, "I have always only been myself. No one can change that."

Shen Chuyun closed her eyes: "I know. Thinking back on these five hundred years of absurdity, watching your Physical Body being so servile, my heart truly broke."

Shen Lian: "I will end all of this as quickly as possible and bury all the humiliation I suffered in the past into the dust of history."

"Shen Lian." Suddenly, Shen Chuyun called out softly.

"What is it now?"

"I am really happy that you could come back."

After saying this, Shen Chuyun walked past Shen Lian.

"Go do what you need to do with peace of mind. While you are away, I will take good care of your Disciple. She is indeed different from those seven vipers."

Shen Lian watched Shen Chuyun's back quietly.

For a long time...

"You can take her with you and return to Buming Peak first."

Upon hearing this, a subtle arc of joy appeared on the corner of Shen Chuyun's mouth.

"Tell Su Mengyao that in ten days, I will test her achievements."

After speaking, black clouds soared from within Shen Lian, wrapping around him before quickly transforming into a netherworld chariot, which then turned and headed in the direction of Twin Peaks.

Shen Chuyun looked back and said softly: "Don't worry, I will wait for your return."

... In front of Twin Peaks, three days remained until the decisive battle.

But Feng Yutao was already standing at the Peak, eyes closed, quietly waiting for the battle to arrive.

"Oh, to think there's someone in this godforsaken place, how rare."

Suddenly, a mocking echo reverberated in his ear.

Feng Yutao raised his eyes to look. He didn't know when, but a young man in grey sportswear was standing before him.

What surprised him even more was that Feng Yutao could not discern the cultivation of the youth before him, and he immediately became alert.

The youth took a step closer and greeted him in a low voice: "Hello, my wives went missing a while ago. Have you seen them? Don't look at me with that kind of gaze; I have no malicious intent. I'm just here to find my wives. If I can't find them, my heart feels empty and terribly uncomfortable."
