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

Li Cangyao's gaze was fixed on the water, and he easily sensed Su Yu's arrival.

However, he did not turn around, but continued fishing.

"What's wrong? Is something wrong?"

Su Yu stared intently at him, trying to detect something unusual about him.

He couldn't sense any malice from the other party, but he also couldn't discern their intentions.

Perhaps he understood the importance of Baoyu, but since he was able to save him but did not kill him to cover it up, it proved that it was not wrong to get straight to the point.

"May I ask, Fellow Daoist Cangyao, when you saved me, did you see even half of the Yin-Yang Fish Jade?"

Li Cangyao continued fishing, slowly shaking his head as his long silver hair fluttered in the wind, exuding a gentle elegance with a hint of aloofness.

"No, you were the only one there at the time, there was no one else."

He spoke without any emotional fluctuation, causing Su Yu to frown slightly. She said sincerely:

“Fellow Daoist Cangyao, that half of the jade pendant is of utmost importance to me, and I hope to find it.”

“You saving me is one thing, and the jade pendant is another. If you need it, I will naturally repay your kindness in saving me.”

Upon hearing this, a hint of something amiss flickered in Li Cangyao's usually calm eyes. "So, how do you intend to repay this debt of gratitude?"

So the precious jade is indeed on you? ..... Su Yu sneered inwardly. This is a divine treasure, and he only has one. If you take it, I'll fight you to the death.

"What does Fellow Daoist Cangyao desire?"

"What do you want?" Li Cangyao paused in his actions, put down his fishing rod, and immediately stood up and came to Su Yu.

He stared at Su Yu expressionlessly for a moment, then hesitated.

"I have heard that tens of thousands of years ago, there was a great battle between a divine dragon and a heavenly phoenix in Wuyin Mountain of the Northern Xuan Region. That battle was earth-shattering, the sun and moon were darkened, and it almost split the entire continent in two. In the end, the two supreme experts both perished, but their bones were left intact and hidden in an unknown corner of Wuyin Mountain."

"I wonder if you could help me retrieve them? The gardens of my manor are a little lacking in appearance, and those two skeletons should be able to decorate them."

Su Yu was stunned for a moment, and the corner of her mouth twitched slightly.

Using the legendary dragon and phoenix skeletons as storefront decorations? Who do you think you are?

The battle between the Divine Dragon and the Celestial Phoenix cleaved the continent in two; those were at least True God Realm experts!

If he obtained the remains of a True God, he'd be set for life...

Despite her inner turmoil, Su Yu could only force a smile on her face.

"Fellow Daoist Cangyao, please don't joke. Those are legendary divine dragons and phoenixes, how could we possibly lay a finger on them?"

"The remains of a dragon and phoenix are probably not even worth as much as my life..."

"I hope Fellow Daoist Cangyao will seriously consider what I just said; I meant it sincerely."

Li Cangyao brushed the silver hair that had been blowing in front of him behind his shoulder and said calmly:

"But I don't want anything else besides that."

"Oh, right, you don't actually need to repay anything, after all, I didn't take your so-called precious jade."

“You!..…” Su Yu’s expression turned slightly angry.

He just answered according to what I said, which clearly means he took my things.

But the other party's request is clearly impossible to fulfill. So you're just trying to mess with me?

"Alright, you're still injured, go back and rest first, we can talk about the rest later."

Li Cangyao ignored Su Yu's resentful gaze.

"But if you really want to watch me fish, that's fine too. After all, it gets a bit boring to be alone for a long time, and I'd be happy to talk to you."

Watching Li Cangyao slowly walk back to the stone chair, a cold glint flashed in Su Yuliu's eyes.

He didn't want to return her things, so there was nothing Su Yu could do.

It would be better to test the waters of the other party now and see if they can come up with the idea of ​​decorating their house with dragon and phoenix skeletons.

Thinking this, Su Yu channeled her spiritual power into her palm and struck Li Cangyao on the back.

The palm strike whistled, and the latter sensed it just as it was about to hit his back.

He vanished in a flash before Su Yu's eyes.

Su Yu was slightly taken aback, but his divine sense swept out and he immediately sensed that the other party was behind him. He then used the force to turn to the side and, taking advantage of the opening, he put his two right fingers together and stabbed towards Li Cangyao's chest.

Her slender, jade-like fingers contained an ethereal sword intent, like a burst of light.

Li Cangyao remained expressionless. His angular hand swung out like a sword, shattering the sword light upon impact.

Bang bang bang!

The two exchanged blows in a flash, remaining evenly matched for hundreds of rounds.

Su Yu's spiritual energy overflowed, creating several whirlpools on the lake's surface and shattering into waves.

The more they fought, the more strange Su Yu felt.

From the moment Su Yu first met Li Cangyao until now, during their battle, she discovered that he had no spiritual power whatsoever!

Li Cangyao was fighting him solely relying on his physical strength, and he was holding his own and handling the situation with ease.

Is he a body cultivator?

That's impossible. Even body cultivators have spiritual power, although it's much weaker than physical power.

So he was hiding his true strength? .....

Su Yu was somewhat frustrated. After all, he possessed immortal roots and bones. Although he was currently injured, even a late-stage Heavenly Venerable might not be his match.

After their palms collided again and they each took three steps back, Li Cangyao steadied himself and clapped his hands.

"Very good. With your powerful physique, I believe there are few who can compare even in the entire True Spirit Continent, no..."

"You could even call him the number one genius of the True Spirit Continent."

Su Yu's face was slightly flushed from the intense battle and his injuries. "Are you mocking me?"

Li Cangyao's attitude was very sincere. "I'm just telling the truth."

"Give me back Baoyu! Let's pretend this never happened."

"Miss Qingyi, I really didn't take that so-called precious jade."

Seeing Li Cangyao's rather innocent eyes, Su Yu gritted her teeth in anger.

The stronger he is, the greater the chance that he will take the jade. Now he can be basically certain that the Xuan Yin Jade is on him!

He's been fighting me for so long simply to test my strength.

In an instant, Su Yu used the Xuanfeng Concealing Shadow Step, instantly appearing beside Li Cangyao. Gathering the power of her immortal roots and bones, she used her hand as a sword to intercept another sword aura.

"Neither of us can defeat the other, so why continue fighting?"

Li Cangyao sighed softly, but he also clearly felt the terror of this sword energy, so he could only place his hands in front of him to block it.

Su Yu's finger touched his arm, as if it had struck an indestructible copper coin.

Li Cangyao took four steps back. Seeing the opportunity, Su Yu turned around and kicked him straight in the chest with a spinning back kick, bringing with her surging spiritual power.

With a snap, Li Cangyao blocked again, the collision of forces creating a gust of wind.

Su Yu was not wearing her own white clothes, but rather the loose and thin white clothes that Xiao Yue had replaced for her.

As the wind picked up, the skirt billowed, and Li Cangyao's gaze fell upon a sensual scene beneath it that would make countless men's blood boil.

His silver pupils contracted sharply, and his breathing began to stop.

"White...white?"
