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

Swish-

at the same time.

Without the energy support of Elder Wu and the Immortal-Slaying Sword, the protective light barrier finally dissipated completely.

A group of disciples from the Extreme Imperial Palace and some disciples from other sects rushed over.

Upon seeing the approaching crowd, Su Yu quickly withdrew her hand.

Ji Ruqing felt the lingering warmth in her hand, a hint of disappointment flashing deep in her eyes.

"Ruqing? Ruqing, are you alright?"

"Senior Brother Ruqing?!"

Everyone was taken aback when they saw Su Yu and Ji Ruqing together, then quickly stepped forward to react.

From among the disciples of the Imperial Palace, Zhong Yuhan hurriedly came to Ji Ruqing's side, her pretty face full of concern as she asked:

"Ruqing, are you injured? You look so pale."

Zhong Yuhan originally wanted to grab Ji Ruqing's wrist, but he quickly dodged it.

He said calmly to Zhong Yuhan, "I'm fine, Junior Sister Yuhan, you don't need to worry about me."

Yuhan... Junior Sister?

Zhong Yuhan's beautiful eyes dimmed. Mu Qingyi was present, so you're calling me "Junior Sister" so unfamiliarly now?

But at the same time, she was also very confused.

She originally thought that Ye Xuan could snatch Mu Qingyi back from Ru Qing, or at the very least stop Mu Qingyi from getting close to Ru Qing.

It now appears to have been a failure...

Upon seeing Zhong Yuhan, Su Yu's expression darkened.

A cold glint flashed in Liuli's eyes.

Why did Ye Xuan and Ji Ruqing almost die in their previous fight?

It was because Ye Xuan found out that she was Ji Ruqing's fiancée.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have ended up like this.

The only people here who know this secret are himself, Ji Ruqing, and this so-called childhood sweetheart of Ji Ruqing whom he met not long ago.

Neither Ji Ruqing nor Ye Xuan had revealed it; it was Zhong Yuhan who had deliberately told Ye Xuan.

She's the one who leaked the secret!

One piece of news almost cost three lives and caused the deaths of two remaining souls.

This behavior is utterly disgusting.

Okay, so you want to win Ji Ruqing's love?

Then I'll help you.

You want to compare green tea with me?

Su Yu's expression instantly turned cold, and he slowly stood up.

"Now that your companions have arrived, I should also leave."

"Ruqing, I'm leaving now. Take good care of yourself."

Ji Ruqing was slightly taken aback and quickly grabbed him.

"Qingyi, where are you going? Your injuries haven't healed yet, and they're no worse than mine!"

Su Yu frowned, trying to pull her hand back, but Ji Ruqing was holding on too tightly, so she couldn't break free at all.

"Your fellow disciples have already arrived; if I stay any longer, it might have a negative impact."

"Are you going to find him?" Ji Ruqing asked coldly.

Su Yu didn't try to hide it and nodded slightly.

"Why? Didn't you promise me?"

Ji Ruqing was furious, and was on the verge of exploding.

She had just promised herself not to get too close to Ye Xuan, but the next second she went back on her word.

"Ji Ruqing, are you the only one allowed to have contact with other women? While I'm not even allowed to get close to my own junior brother? What gives you the right?!"

Su Yu glanced at Ji Ruqing and Zhong Yuhan, who were surrounded by the crowd, her pretty face turning icy cold.

“You have everything. You have junior brothers and sisters to accompany you, and you have your childhood sweetheart. You lack nothing.”

"But he didn't. His rise to power was very short. From the very beginning, he was bullied and humiliated, a menial disciple. I was the one who helped him out of his predicament back then, time and time again..."

Qingyi and Ye Xuan's relationship was closer than he had imagined.

Suddenly, a sense of crisis arose in his heart. He wanted to question Qingyi, his fiancée, about why she was so entangled with another man.

But when he thought of what she was going to say, he was instantly doused with cold water and had no way to refute it.

"actually....."

Su Yu looked at Zhong Yuhan beside Ji Ruqing.

"Actually, he and I are somewhat similar to you and Zhong Yuhan, but I haven't been able to stay together for as long as you two have, or even become this inseparable."

"Ye Xuan is the first friend I've made since I came to Zhan Yue Sect."

“I aspire to cultivate the Tao and do not talk about emotions, but he is still my junior brother. His life or death is unknown and no one is taking care of him, so naturally I have to go to him and take care of him.”

"There's nothing I can do now that things have come to this."

Upon hearing this, Ji Ruqing felt even more distressed, and her clenched fists involuntarily loosened.

Is Qingyi blaming me for getting too close to Zhong Yuhan?

Yes, I was with Yuhan the whole time, so I had no reason to complain about Qingyi's contact with Ye Xuan...

"I hope you can keep our relationship a secret."

"Or if you want to call off the engagement, I... naturally have no objection."

"I think you and Yuhan are a good match. After all, she is not bad either, she likes you so much, and she has done so much for you."

Su Yu gave Zhong Yuhan a deep look.

"This incident has been a significant blow to us, leaving us somewhat at a loss and even nearly costing us our lives."

“I am actually quite scared. If this situation were to happen again, I might sever all romantic ties and dedicate my life to cultivating the Tao.”

Upon hearing this, Ji Ruqingxing's eyes filled with a deep sense of bewilderment.

"Qingyi, I didn't mean it, I..."

"Okay, that's it."

Before Ji Ruqing could finish speaking, Su Yu forcefully broke free from his hand, her figure soaring into the air and gradually fading from everyone's sight.

It took a long time for everyone to come back to their senses as they watched the graceful figure disappear into the distance.

"..."

"Senior Brother Ruqing, Fairy Qingyi... is she really your fiancée?"

The top-ranked Jade Immortal on the Zhan Yue Sect's list is actually his fiancée, the number one genius of the Ji Huang Palace.

This is so exciting!

This feeling is like someone else's good cabbage being eaten by your own family.

Moreover, this other party is a formidable rival who has always been against them.

Ji Ruqing gave the person who had questioned her a sharp look, and the latter obediently shut up.

"Keep the details of this matter to yourselves and do not mention it to anyone, or don't blame me for being ruthless with my sword!"

As he spoke, the Azure Cloud Sword Intent surged around him, slowly pressing down on the crowd.

Even though he was seriously injured, he still made everyone feel a strong sense of oppression.

"Understood, senior brother." The group nodded tremblingly.

Ji Ruqing's gaze then turned to Ling Ruxin and Cang Xiaolin, who were not far away.

"Don't worry, since Sister Qingyi doesn't want to reveal it, we naturally won't tell anyone either."

Ling Ruxin was secretly annoyed. She just wanted to have some fun, but instead she was warned...

"Qingyi..."

Looking again in the direction where Su Yu disappeared, Ji Ruqing remained silent for a long time.

Inside Ji Ruqing's body, seeing the situation turn out this way, even the Immortal-Slaying Sword couldn't help but curse angrily.

"You idiot, I fought for this opportunity for you, and you're just going to let that girl go?!"

"Do you know how much benefit it would be to have her by your side?"

"Your luck is severely damaged right now. That girl's luck complements yours. Keeping her by your side will quickly restore your luck!"

"Such a good opportunity, and you still forced her to leave?... This is infuriating!"

"I didn't force her, it's just that there were too many people, and Qingyi..."

Ji Ruqing was unable to refute, "Uh... Shi Xian, calm down, don't get angry, at least I'm still alive."

"........"

"Remember not to be so crazy next time, or even I won't be able to save you."

"Do you know that if that girl hadn't intervened, you might have ended up being killed by Ye Xuan?"

"Ye Xuan can kill me? Aren't we evenly matched?" Ji Ruqing was somewhat displeased when she heard that she was inferior to Ye Xuan.

"Evenly equals? Ha, perhaps you are indeed stronger than him now, but his luck is more abundant than yours. In the end, your luck will devour each other. If nothing unexpected happens, your luck will be exhausted first, and then it will give back to him."

"So the final result will only be detrimental to you."

"Ye Xuan is a very complicated guy. I advise you to be careful."

Ji Ruqing remained silent for a long time. "So, no matter how we fight, even if I give it my all in the end, I will never be Ye Xuan's match?"

"uncertain."
