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

"Su Lan, I remember you didn't look like this before. How come you've changed? You were so beautiful before. Did you use some kind of method to cover your face?"

Looking at Su Yu, Lu Rou asked in confusion.

Su Yu glanced at Ye Xuan ahead and nodded slightly. "Yes, Sister Lu Rou."

"But why are you only covering your face now? Is it to avoid getting into trouble with a cult? But we hadn't even decided to join a cult before you covered your face..."

Lu Rou expressed her incomprehension, asking what the point of covering her face was now.

Su Yu smiled and said, "It's nothing, I'm just trying to avoid any accidents."

At this moment, Chen Xia, who had been worried all the way, asked Ye Xuan:

"Senior, my senior sister has been held captive for so long, isn't there a risk of something happening to her? Shouldn't we hurry?"

"You can rest assured that all the geniuses captured by the Three Colors Holy Sect are only temporarily imprisoned and nothing unexpected will happen to them."

In the past few months, Ye Xuan has destroyed more than a dozen branches of the Three Colors Holy Sect and has gained a general understanding of some of the sect's secrets; otherwise, he would not have been able to find his way here.

"Just imprisonment? That's good, that's good..."

Chen Xia and the others felt relieved after hearing this, and the weight on their hearts was lifted.

Remembering something, Lu Rou asked, "Didn't you say before that the branch would notice the deaths of those cult members who escorted us here?"

"Haven't we already alerted them? Maybe they've already sent powerful figures to capture us?"

Ye Xuan shook his head and said, "That's true, but I did some tampering beforehand, so they won't notice for the time being."

"We need to discuss countermeasures first, since cults have a large number of members."

At this moment, Ye Xuan suddenly looked at Su Yu, a glint of light appearing in his golden eyes.

"Teacher, I can't figure out Su Lan. She gives me a very strange feeling, just like Ji Ruqing back then, but slightly different."

After a long silence, Elder Wu said, "He is also a person of great fortune, possessing an extremely strong aura of luck."

"However, the source of this fortune is unknown."

"Why is it unclear?" Ye Xuan asked curiously.

"Your destiny and Ji Ruqing's destiny are connected by the Great Dao, and you are bound by cause and effect. You can become friends or even companions in the future."

"But he has transcended cause and effect, and there is not a trace of the Great Dao to be found. The road ahead is chaotic. This is the most bizarre fortune I have ever seen."

"Can I become Ji Ruqing's companion?"

"Who's his friend?!" Ye Xuan snorted coldly, even showing signs of panic at the mention of Ji Ruqing by Elder Wu.

How could he possibly become friends with his love rival? Is that even possible?

Totally impossible!

Speaking of Ji Ruqing, she has been unable to leave due to matters concerning the demon race.

But the truth is he didn't go looking for his senior sister.

In his view, he should not abandon her, no matter how busy he was.

He used to see Ji Ruqing as a rival in love, but now it seems he doesn't care much about his senior sister.

Many hands make light work. Even though he was jealous, he still hoped that Ji Ruqing could join him in searching for her.

But he didn't do that.

Sensing Ye Xuan's strong dissatisfaction, Elder Wu snorted coldly.

“That little guy is much more composed than you. He probably plans to become stronger first before going to find that girl.”

"Unlike you, you've been wandering around aimlessly like a brute for the past two months. Do you know how much evil energy you've accumulated? If it weren't for the Battle Celestial Body suppressing you, you would probably have gone mad again."

"Are you worthy of the fortune that surrounds you?"

"Like this time, you shouldn't have brought them along. You lose control whenever it involves that girl. Can't you control yourself?"

Sensing Elder Wu's displeasure, Ye Xuan said bitterly:

"Teacher, I've been very restrained, and I know exactly what I need to do. Otherwise, I wouldn't be here unharmed after my senior sister went missing..."

Upon hearing this, Old Wu could only sigh softly. "Alas~ Such deep affection and intense love, I wonder if your love will bring good or bad in the future."

"However, I must say something: I hope that your love... is not too cheap."

"Otherwise you will lose everything."

"......"

Ye Xuan's eyes darkened, but he didn't refute anything. He smiled and changed the subject:

"Teacher, you said earlier that Ji Ruqing wanted to improve her strength before going to see her senior sister?"

"I can't even find the Xuan Yang Jade, and he improved it all on his own? Are you kidding me?"

Elder Wu snorted lightly. "Are you kidding me? I recently sensed that the Immortal Slayer seems to have found its second fragment and is attempting to fuse with it."

"If I'm not mistaken, it would be easier for that little one to find the girl after the Immortal-Slaying Fusion is complete, since its power will have recovered somewhat by then."

"The sword that kills immortals? The sword within Ji Ruqing's body?"

"Then, teacher, are you a match for that immortal slayer?"

Old Wu rolled his eyes at him. "Do you think I and it are as reckless as you and Ji Ruqing? Can't you tell what's important?"

A hint of embarrassment appeared on Ye Xuan's face.

Elder Wu added, "Don't worry, it may have become stronger, but it won't be so easy for it to defeat me."

Hearing Elder Wu's calm and composed tone, Ye Xuan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He didn't want to be outdone by Ji Ruqing, and naturally he didn't want his teacher to be weaker than that sword.

"Teacher, I'm actually a little curious. Back in your prime, who was stronger, you or that Immortal Slayer?"

"Who is stronger, me or the Immortal Slayer?" Old Wu asked in a somewhat languid tone.

“My disciple, you must remember that it is only a sword, not a supreme being.”

"Back then, I once shook the world, swept across all directions, made all immortals submit, and suppressed all the heavens... But let's not dwell on the past."

"Just remember, my background is far more terrifying than you can imagine."

Ye Xuan scoffed dismissively. "Tch, if you're really that powerful, then give me a single immortal technique. You won't even give me one..."

Old Wu glared and puffed out his beard, "What level is your cultivation at? You want immortal techniques with such little strength? Aren't you afraid of overdoing it?"

"You should know that in the lower realm, the birth of every immortal technique can cause true gods to fight to the death."

"Since you're so amazing, teacher, how did you become like this back then?" Ye Xuan asked again.

Old Wu's face stiffened, and he fell silent, a rare occurrence for him.

"Sigh~ The past is too painful to recall. Your teacher has been reduced to being the teacher of a stubborn little brat like you. It's really nothing special, and even a bit shameful."

Ye Xuan: "......."

"Alright, you need to be careful with this Su Lan. He probably has quite a few secrets."

"And let me tell you, this Su Lan is actually a man."
