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

"Why not? Didn't you just say that in the end, when the luck is devoured, I'm not as good as Ye Xuan?"

"The reason why the luck was devoured is because you caused a change in the Great Dao. This phenomenon is rare, perhaps only seen once every ten thousand years. If it were just a struggle between you and Ye Xuan, you would naturally have a high chance of defeating him with your strength."

"Your own power?... Could it be because of you, the Immortal Slayer?" Ji Ruqing easily caught the clue.

"That's right, it's our power. The past life within Ye Xuan's body is involved in too much karma. After you borrowed our power, you became entangled in our karma, which changed your destiny. This caused the Great Dao to change and led to the erosion of your fortune."

"Otherwise, it wouldn't be like this."

"Slaying Immortals, didn't my fortune include you?" Ji Ruqing always believed that he was called the Heavenly Fortune because of slaying immortals.

"Ruqing, you need to understand, it's not because of my appearance that you have such great fortune, but because of your fortune that I met you. Do you understand?"

Ji Ruqing remained silent.

"Alright, let's stop talking about this. Remember next time, you must not be as reckless as you were this time."

"You absolutely must win that girl over, understand?"

"I'm not going to talk to you anymore, I can't be bothered with you."

Shi Xian was still resentful about what Ji Ruqing had done before, so he fell into a deep sleep again.

"......"

Ji Ruqing sighed softly. He really shouldn't have acted so impulsively, but if he encountered Qingyi being robbed again next time, would he stand idly by?

Ji Ruqing's consciousness returned to the outside world.

"Ruqing, are you alright now?"

"Your ranking on the leaderboard has now dropped to third..."

Standing beside Ji Ruqing, Zhong Yuhan watched as he closed his eyes and pondered for a moment before speaking softly.

Now that Mu Qingyi has left and even expressed a sense of estrangement, she couldn't help but feel secretly delighted.

Ji Ruqing frowned, her gaze towards Zhong Yuhan somewhat uncomfortable.

Because of her, Qingyi felt distant from herself.

She even felt that he and Zhong Yuhan were childhood sweethearts and had an indescribable intimate relationship, so she leaned towards Ye Xuan.

Zhong Yuhan, perhaps I was too gentle with her.

Although he focused on cultivating the way of the sword, he was not an idiot.

He had promised Qingyi he wouldn't reveal their relationship, but Ye Xuan found out, which meant there was a third party involved.

So without even thinking, he told Ye Xuan that it was Zhong Yuhan.

Qingyi only said those few words at the very end.

"Yuhan," Ji Ruqing said after a few seconds of pause.

"What's wrong, Ruqing?" Zhong Yuhan asked curiously.

"I like Qingyi, that's an indisputable fact, so I don't want to mix any other emotions into it."

"Let's end our friendship. You don't need to ask me for anything anymore."

"Considering our past friendship, I will forgive and forget what you did before."

"You...you'd better watch yourself."

Ji Ruqing flicked her green robe, gave Zhong Yuhan a cold glance, and then strode away.

The disciples of the Imperial Palace looked at each other in bewilderment, and finally had no choice but to follow.

Out of their shared background as fellow disciples, they felt a pang of pity for Zhong Yuhan.

However, the competitors were too strong, almost invincible.

While Senior Sister Yuhan is indeed good, she is still slightly inferior to Fairy Qingyi.

"I....."

Zhong Yuhan's face turned deathly pale. Did Ruqing mean she was completely severing ties with her?

All their years of friendship couldn't compare to a few words from that woman, Mu Qingyi?

Another place.

After leaving Ji Ruqing's side, Su Yu immediately went to search for Ye Xuan's whereabouts.

He simply couldn't swallow this insult from Zhong Yuhan.

He racked his brains trying to break the deadlock, only to be inexplicably tricked.

One blow harmed five virtuous men.

I wonder if Zhong Yuhan has another side like me.

If not, then they're practically useless teammates.

If we keep her around, she might end up making a mess of things.

Su Yu is still worried about this.

He didn't originally intend to do this.

Then Ji Ruqing would have to choose between him and Zhong Yuhan.

Of course, he also knew that Ji Ruqing was very likely to choose him.

"Ji Ruqing is mostly fine, so now it's just Ye Xuan's side..."

Ye Xuan is a big problem now!

The greater the entanglement in the past, the greater the backlash will be.

Su Yu felt a pang of fear as she recalled the system's words echoing in her ears.

"Goodness, we absolutely cannot let him go astray. It seems I need to find him and bring him back on the right track."

"But how do I find him now?"

Su Yu was completely clueless. The old man had simply taken him away and disappeared without leaving a trace.

"System, what do I do?"

Didn't that remnant soul leave you something?

"Huh?" Su Yu was clearly a little taken aback.

However, the space ring trembled the next second.

Su Yu took out a jade pendant from her spatial ring.

This is the divine treasure that the old man gave me earlier—the Mysterious Yin Jade.

At this moment, the jade pendant was emitting a faint glow.

The jade pendant was trembling, conveying to Su Yu that she wanted to go somewhere.

"this....."

"Is the Mysterious Yin Jade guiding me to find Ye Xuan?"

Su Yu seemed to remember something, and her eyes narrowed immediately.

"Could the other half of the Profound Yin Jade, the Profound Yang Jade, be with Ye Xuan?"

Holy crap, that's a real old fox!

So Ye Xuan's old man had already set a trap!

"etc....."

Su Yu immediately took out the divine-level sword technique given to her by the sword spirit from her spatial ring.

Upon closer inspection, Su Yu breathed a sigh of relief.

"Thank goodness, it's not some kind of dual cultivation sword technique..."

If this were some kind of dual cultivation sword technique, he would definitely curse the wickedness of human nature!

"......"

"One side is fine, it's all yin. This is a divine treasure, we might as well take it."

Following the guidance of the Xuan Yin Jade, Su Yu immediately set off to find Ye Xuan.

However, he stopped halfway through the flight.

After a moment's thought, she lifted her skirt, revealing her long, flawless, snow-white legs.

His expression hardened, and he activated the Tai Ling Thousand Techniques, simulating the scales of the Netherworld Python, which were enveloped in powerful demonic energy.

laugh--

The next second, Su Yu stabbed into his inner thigh without hesitation, the demonic power seeping into his flesh, causing him to feel a sharp pain.

[Host, what are you doing?? Don't do anything rash!]

[You were already injured, and with the extra energy you burned, you were in an extremely weakened state. And now you're harming yourself?!]

Su Yu's face turned pale. "The main problem is that even I'm not confident about Ye Xuan right now."

"You can't catch a wolf without risking your cub; I have to do something about it."

"After all... I could feel his despair at that moment."

As he spoke, he used the power of his innate Dao body to temporarily stop the bleeding and erase the traces of the new injury.

[Werewolf, you're even more ruthless than the most ruthless people. With your unwavering belief as your host, your path to immortality will surely be much faster!]

"Stop talking nonsense, ouch—it hurts!"

"We need to find Ye Xuan quickly..."

Gritting her teeth, Su Yu, guided by the Profound Yin Jade, strained her way forward...
