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

"......"

"No! I have to think of a way to prevent this tragedy from happening!"

After calming down, Su Yu realized he needed to salvage the situation, otherwise things would get worse.

The fish in his fishpond can't be harmed!

Su Yu needed to organize her thoughts...

As Ji Ruqing flew across the sky, after leaving Lingcheng, her gaze couldn't help but turn back.

"Slayer, tell me, did Qingyi ever truly love me?"

The sword spirit of the Immortal-Slaying Sword in his mind said, "I don't know, maybe it has feelings for you."

"Don't know? You're an old monster who's lived for countless years, don't you have this much experience?"

The sword spirit said speechlessly, "I am a sword spirit, and a supreme immortal sword like the Supreme Immortal Sword. I only know how to kill, how could I understand the love and affection of you living beings?"

"..." Upon receiving the sword spirit's reply, Ji Ruqing could only sigh softly.

Now that things have come to this, all that matters is Qingyi's approval; everything else can wait.

Seeing Ji Ruqing become melancholy, the sword spirit said with a headache:

"Although I don't understand human emotions, I do know that the stronger you are, the more likely you are to gain her approval."

"To become stronger?" Ji Ruqing murmured.

"Slaying Immortals, can you sense the other fragments now?"

"No, I only have a piece of sword heart left. The sword spirit is incomplete. It would be possible if I could get within 10,000 meters."

"You are an unparalleled celestial artifact from the upper realm. What kind of being could possibly shatter you?"

This was the thing that Ji Ruqing was most curious about in her life.

In the words of the Immortal Slayer, there are few immortal artifacts in the Upper Realm that can rival it.

But even this immortal-slaying technique eventually fell apart, turning into a piece of rust and being lost in a forgotten corner.

If it weren't for the chance encounter with the other party, allowing it to suck my blood and successfully recognize me as its master.

It's probably still being used as a decorative item.

With the help of the Immortal Slayer, he rose rapidly through the ranks, awakened the Azure Cloud Sword Body, and became a peerless genius.

How was the Immortal-Slaying Sword shattered?

Shi Xian fell into a brief silence. "The events of that year involved too many things, and it's hard to say anything now."

"The reason I have fallen to this state is because of the Heavenly Desolation... the Ten Emperors of the Heavenly Desolation."

"Heavenly Demise... Ten Emperor Thrones?" Ji Ruqing's eyes narrowed slightly.

"That's right. When the cataclysm broke out, my sword was shattered by the Seventh Emperor. If it weren't for the Spirit Ancestor's rescue, my sword spirit would probably have vanished into nothingness."

"Who are the Ten Emperors of Heavenly Demise? Who is the Spirit Ancestor?"

"This is still too far away for you, so don't be too ambitious."

Ji Ruqing didn't insist too much; he understood that, at least for now, the Immortal-Slaying Sword wouldn't tell him these things...

The next day.

Su Yu bid farewell to Mu's parents early in the morning, left Lingcheng, and returned to Zhan Yue Sect.

With less than a month until the four major competitions, there was no need for him to stay here any longer.

Midway through, Su Yu disguised herself as Mu Qingyi.

The Tai Ling Thousand Techniques altered his cultivation method, and the Divine Concealment Talisman concealed his aura.

After all, both the Three-Colored Black Demon and Mu Qingyi were too eye-catching.

He transformed into a pale-faced young man.

If one is not above the Heavenly Venerable level, no one will recognize him.

Three days later.

Su Yu arrived at a restaurant or inn.

He ordered a table full of local specialties, enjoying them while listening to the conversations around him.

"Have you heard? A ruin was discovered in the Yellow Wind Mountains half a month ago, seemingly dating back thousands of years..."

"Ruins? What ruins??"

"It seems to have been left behind by a Celestial Venerable Realm expert."

"Celestial Venerable Realm!?"

"That's right, but the ruins are protected by an array, so we can't go in for the time being. Moreover, there are countless powerful monsters in the Yellow Wind Mountains, so very few people can get in."

"......"

"Yellow Wind Mountains? The ruins of the Celestial Venerable?"

"There must be quite a few resources, right?"

Su Yu, who was sitting by the window, chuckled softly when she heard the surrounding chatter.

He currently has only one Purple Spirit Pill and one Precious Star Sprout, which are not enough for his own use. Perhaps he can gain unexpected benefits in the ruins of the Celestial Venerable.

Just as Su Yu was making further plans, a young man in black walked towards her.

He possessed a calm and composed demeanor, revealing no outward aura, but once he unleashed his power, he was like a lurking tiger baring its fierce teeth.

Looking at the young man, Su Yu's heart trembled.

Isn't this Ye Xuan?

In just over a month, you've grown so tall!

Wasn't he supposed to be cultivating with his grandmaster uncle? How did he end up here?

The newcomer was none other than Ye Xuan, the champion of the Seven Peaks Martial Arts Tournament of the Zhan Yue Sect.

He was also the chosen one whom Su Yu had always wanted to be her junior brother!

Ye Xuan appeared on the second floor of the restaurant and looked around to find it packed with people.

Seeing only a pale-faced young man at a table near the window, he walked over.

Ye Xuan clasped his hands in a fist salute to Su Yu and said, "Fellow Daoist, may I stop here to rest for a while?"

Su Yu raised an eyebrow and said calmly, "Of course."

"Thank you."

Ye Xuan thanked her and sat down opposite Su Yu.

He glanced at the dishes on the table and couldn't help but look at Su Yu again.

Surprisingly, this handsome young man with fair skin had quite an appetite.

"......"

Su Yu's expression remained unchanged. He was silent for a moment, then asked, "Want to eat together?"

"No need."

Ye Xuan smiled and shook his head. He and the waiter ordered a pot of wine.

Then he took out a piece of roasted monster meat from his spatial ring and started eating it without any regard for his image.

While eating, one can communicate with the internal energy channels within the body.

"Teacher, Master said that there are the remains of a Saint Realm expert in the Yellow Wind Ruins, but the outer formation is still intact. How can I get inside?"

The Saintly Realm is a realm comparable to Master Liao Hongming's. I believe that if he can gain something from it, his strength will definitely reach another level.

"......"

"Teacher, is the teacher there? What's wrong?" Ye Xuan was puzzled as Elder Wu did not respond for a long time.

"Cough cough, it's alright, disciple, it's alright..."

"What's wrong, teacher? Has something happened?" Ye Xuan noticed that Elder Wu's condition was a bit off.

"It's nothing. There's really no need to worry about the Huangfeng Ruins you mentioned. The formation has lost a lot of energy over the years."

"The energy eruption in the Yellow Wind Mountains will reach its climax in two days, at which time the formation will weaken."

"I believe that with your strength and the combined efforts of some cultivators, we will surely be able to break through."

"Two days later?..."

"How old are you, fellow Daoist?"

Just as Ye Xuan was pondering, he suddenly asked Su Yu, who was sitting down.

A hint of suspicion flashed in Ye Xuan's eyes, "Not yet seventeen, what advice do you have for me, fellow Daoist?"

"Drinking Blazing Sun Wine at sixteen? Fellow Daoist, your strength is quite impressive. It seems this isn't the first or second time..."

What does this mean? Is it a warning to myself to drink less alcohol?

"Didn't you drink it too?" Ye Xuan frowned.

I don't even know him, why is he meddling in my business just because he's having a drink? It's really baffling.

Moreover, his growth and development are now far beyond that of a sixteen-year-old, and drinking alcohol is like child's play for him.

"Fellow Daoist, do you dislike others drinking in front of you, or would you like to share a drink with them?"

"If you want to come together, Ye Xuan will gladly oblige."

Su Yu said calmly, "No need, do as you please. I was just mentioning it casually."

"........"

Wu Lao, who was hiding inside the jade pendant, finally couldn't stand it any longer and said:

"Disciple, I think... you'd better listen to some of what she says."
