This is my first time playing the female lead, what's wrong with the tea and snacks?

The dazzling light shone through the gauze window onto Li Cangyao, making his long silver hair gleam and giving him an unreal appearance as if he had stepped out of a painting.

His silver pupils flickered slightly, and after a moment he took out a yin-yang fish jade pendant from his sleeve.

If Su Yu were here, she would definitely recognize that it was her own Xuan Yin Treasure Jade!

Li Cangyao shook the jade, touching it; it was warm yet slightly cold.

It even retains a faint, refreshing fragrance.

"A divine-grade jade, one side is yin? It seems there's another yang side too..."

"......"

Even he had to admit that among all the so-called saintly goddesses or peerless immortal sect leaders he had ever met, very few could rival Mu Qingyi in appearance and temperament.

Mu Qingyi's appearance is rather aloof, like a tranquil pool, or a cold and beautiful lotus flower atop a snow-capped mountain, something to be admired from afar but not to be trifled with.

But what surprised him most was the other person's personality.

Although our contact was brief, she gave me a sense of openness and carefree attitude.

Putting aside their social status, most women of his age would address him as "Young Master" upon meeting him, but she would immediately address him as "Fellow Daoist."

Others refer to themselves as "little woman," but she refers to herself as "I"...

Hmm... that's quite frank and unpretentious.

"Have personality."

Li Cangyao chuckled, put away the Xuan Yin Jade, and walked to the courtyard gate.

When he encountered Xiaoyue and Xiaohe waiting at the door, his clear gaze returned to its indifferent state.

"Let her rest well by herself first, and try to meet any needs she may have."

"Call me if you need anything."

"Yes, young master," Xiaoyue and the other girl replied timidly.

In the bedroom.

Su Yu watched Li Cangyao's disappearing figure, a thoughtful expression on her face.

"This Li Cangyao is no ordinary person."

In his view, this Li Cangyao was even more mysterious and dangerous than a Saint Realm expert. Compared to Ye Xuan and Ji Ruqing, he seemed to have truly become a force to be reckoned with.

However, since the other party did not show any hostility towards him and even seemed inclined to help, he temporarily lowered his guard.

"Red Destiny..."

"Want to jump on the bandwagon?"

Since the other party showed no hostility, Su Yu considered whether she should take advantage of the situation, after all, her system was an investment system.

Investing in Ye Xuan and Ji Ruqing is an investment, so investing in Li Cangyao is also an investment.

Now that I'm lost in the border region, and I've finally encountered a red destiny, I shouldn't let it go.

But... won't this cause another chaotic scene?

The thought of a chaotic battlefield sent a chill down Su Yu's spine.

Back then in the Extreme Cloud Secret Realm, just Ye Xuan and Ji Ruqing, two people with red destiny, almost caused the three of them to lose their lives. The backlash from the Great Dao nearly caused them to fall into demonic possession. The breaking of the secret realm's barrier gave the Three Colors Holy Sect an opportunity to take advantage of the situation.

If another one were added, the scene would be unimaginable.

Three red destinies.

We need to consider this further...

Su Yu shook her head vigorously.

Actually, he wanted to be ordinary friends with Li Cangyao, or at the very least, repay the debt of saving his life.

But matters between men and women are never that simple.

Human emotions are complex. Regardless of gender, when someone of the opposite sex comes into contact with you and they do not reject you, their physiological instinct will first consider whether they can develop an emotional connection with you, and only then will they consider whether it is worthwhile to become ordinary friends with you.

As Mu Qingyi possesses extraordinary talent and unparalleled beauty, she is undoubtedly an excellent choice for a Daoist partner.

Given her approach, most people would likely want to have an ambiguous relationship with her rather than simply be friends.

Putting aside her thoughts, Su Yu began to analyze her own situation.

Even if he doesn't invest in Li Cangyao, he still has plenty of resources to utilize.

The resources are enough for him to cultivate to the Heavenly Venerable realm, and these cultivation techniques and martial arts skills are enough for him to cultivate to the Saintly Dao realm, or even the True God realm!

"......"

"Wait! Where's my Xuan Yin Jade?!"

After re-examining her spatial ring and her entire body, Su Yu discovered that the Xuan Yin Jade was missing. Startled, she stood up.

That was a divine treasure! It was currently his biggest trump card, and now it's just gone?!

"Could it have been lost in the void of space earlier?...?"

"No! Impossible! Treasures have spirits; even if I was unconscious at the time, it couldn't have left for no reason."

The Xuan Yin Jade had already pledged its allegiance to him through blood from the very beginning, and even his ability to return alive from the void was thanks to the Xuan Yin Jade.

"..."

"Could it be that Li Cangyao took the Xuan Yin Jade?"

Thinking of this, Su Yu frowned.

Although he hadn't sensed Baoyu just now, he felt that Li Cangyao's methods could still shield his senses.

This is the most likely possibility.

If that's the case, then why did he take away his precious jade? Was he coveting a divine treasure?

Regardless, I need to go and ask him first.

Thinking it over, Su Yu lay down on the bed and rushed out the door.

A few minutes later he walked through the long corridor and out the door.

When Xiaoyue and Xiaohe, who were guarding the gate, saw Su Yu come out, they were both taken aback. Then they quickly reacted and came to their sides to carefully support him.

"Fairy, why did you come out? You're still injured. Young Master said you shouldn't move around too much right now. It's windy outside, let's go inside," Xiaoyue advised.

Su Yu waved to indicate that everything was alright, and then asked, "Where is your young master? I need to speak with him."

"Looking for the young master?" Xiaoyue and Xiaohe exchanged a glance.

What's going on? Didn't the two just meet? Why are they looking for the young master now?

However, since they were looking for the young master, they didn't object.

"Young Master should be fishing in the back lake right now. Since the fairy wants to find Young Master, then this servant will lead the way."

Xiao Yue and Xiao He carefully led Su Yu toward the back of the courtyard.

As she walked along the winding road, Su Yu realized that the place she was in was somewhat like a mountain resort, with beautiful mountains and clear waters, exquisite buildings, and rock gardens.

However, the place was very deserted, with no outsiders except for Li Cangyao and his two maids.

Oh, now there's also myself.

Led by Xiaoyue and Xiaohe, Su Yu finally arrived at Houting Lake in the time it takes to drink a cup of tea.

The backyard is a huge lake.

Artificial rocks meander through the lake, lotus flowers bloom in pairs, and countless fish frolic in the clear water.

On the lake, a long pavilion stands in the center, connecting several winding stone paths.

Li Cangyao sat on a gravel chair at the corner of a stone path, leisurely fishing with a fishing rod in his hand.

"You guys go down first."

After instructing the two to leave, Su Yu slowly walked towards Li Cangyao...
