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

"Senior sister..."

Looking at Mu Qingyi, Ye Xuan felt a warm current surge in his heart.

Seeing this, Gu Qinghe and the others in the distance felt a chill in their hearts.

They hadn't expected Mu Qingyi to value Ye Xuan so much.

"Junior Sister Qingyi, I think there must be some misunderstanding between us. I was just helping this junior brother," Gu Qinghe quickly explained.

Sensing Su Yu's indifference, he felt he should do something to salvage his image in her eyes.

Perhaps her current level is not as high as his, but her talent is above his, and she may surpass him before long.

He was quite cautious about Mu Qingyi, unlike Lü Chulu and the other women.

Gu Qinghe's gaze drifted intentionally or unintentionally towards the crowd behind him.

The group of disciples in brocade robes felt a chill run down their spines and immediately echoed:

"Yes, Fairy Qingyi, Senior Brother Qinghe was just trying to dissuade him. He wanted to help this junior brother and Lü Ming resolve their grievances and make peace."

"However, Junior Brother Ye Xuan doesn't seem to appreciate it..."

Su Yu said, "Now that this agreement has been formed, the outcome will naturally have to be determined at the martial arts tournament. Or is it that you lack confidence in Lü Ming?"

"......"

It seems Mu Qingyi has a lot of confidence in Ye Xuan...

Gu Qinghe couldn't help but ask Su Yufa, "I'm a little curious, what exactly is the relationship between Fairy Qingyi and Junior Brother Ye Xuan?"

Everyone turned to look.

This was a question that not only Gu Qinghe was curious about, but they were also curious about it.

She helped Ye Xuan escape from trouble last time, but now she actually shows up again to help him, without even caring about the face of a genius like Gu Qinghe.

Looking at Ye Xuan, a meaningful glint flashed in Su Yu's eyes. "I have no relationship with him, we're just friends."

"Just friends?"

Upon hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Thank goodness, they're just friends. Otherwise, wouldn't the number one beauty of the Zhan Yue Sect have been taken by a pig?

"Just...friends?"

Hearing Su Yu's answer, Ye Xuan felt inexplicably disappointed.

They really had no relationship as Fairy Qingyi said, but why did he feel so resentful?

The fairy in the clear robes was stunningly beautiful, the most breathtaking person he had ever seen.

When everyone in the crowd looks at each other, the color of the world is like dust.

She was like a white-robed sword immortal descending to the mortal world.

Her ethereal beauty kept people at arm's length.

Most importantly, she was the first and only person to help him when he was betrayed by his childhood sweetheart and bullied by outsiders.

He will remember this kindness and this current act of assistance.

However, looking at her, Ye Xuan always felt that she was out of reach.

Ye Xuan felt increasingly disappointed, and his fists clenched tightly, even though they were bleeding and still stinging.

Su Yu saw all of this and smiled helplessly to himself.

Please, you're destined for greatness, the kind of person who's as red as can be. You're likely to be the ruler of the world in the future. Can't you be a little more ambitious?

Of course, he could only keep his complaints to himself and couldn't voice them, since he still needed to invest in the other party and keep taking advantage of them!

He also wanted to thank Gu Qinghe and the others, as they allowed him to gain more favor with Ye Xuan.

If he is trained slowly like this, Ye Xuan will definitely become a powerful figure in the future, and I will have a powerful henchman.

Putting aside her thoughts, Su Yu cleared her throat.

"However, although Ye Xuan is my friend, he is not an ordinary friend."

"He never gave up easily, adhered to his principles, and was tenacious and never lost his way or became despondent because of public opinion."

"In my opinion, it is rare and precious for a young man to stand up and fight back when he is bullied and not submit to the strong."

“I admire him for that.”

Upon hearing this, Gu Qinghe and the others looked at Ye Xuan in astonishment, not expecting Mu Qingyi to have such a high opinion of him.

However, upon recalling the boy's defiant attitude, he fell silent.

Ye Xuan, who was originally feeling down, instantly felt much better after Su Yu's praise, and even scratched his head with a sheepish smile.

He was a little embarrassed by the praise.

Afterwards, seeing that Su Yu had no interest in continuing the conversation, Gu Qinghe and the others tactfully left.

With Su Yu around, Ye Xuan can't be touched for the time being.

However, the feud between Gu Qinghe and Ye Xuan is now officially over.

Gu Qinghe despised Ye Xuan for daring to defy him, and Ye Xuan, who was also the kind of person who would seek revenge for any wrong done to him, also remembered Gu Qinghe.

They both tacitly agreed to deal with each other later when the opportunity arose.

Similarly, those around Gu Qinghe also remembered Ye Xuan, and felt displeased.

Their displeasure with Ye Xuan wasn't because of Gu Qinghe, but because of the special care Mu Qingyi showed Ye Xuan.

What makes you, an ant, worthy of the favor of a fairy?

Why would the Fairy in Pure Robes choose you over me?

In short, jealousy was the culprit.

Before leaving, Lü Chulu had the most complicated feelings. She did not expect Mu Qingyi to get involved in this matter and even seem to be on the opposite side.

She had some admiration and respect for Mu Qingyi.

After all, he was the top of the Jade Immortal Ranking, a prodigy with a clear and discerning sword mind.

With Mu Qingyi involved, if things go wrong, the consequences for her Lü family lineage will only worsen...

"Junior Brother Ye Xuan, are you also here to cultivate in Thundercloud Valley?"

Seeing that the surroundings had quieted down, Su Yu felt more relaxed.

Ye Xuan nodded. "Yes, Senior Sister, I originally came to cultivate in area 17 of the fourth floor, but I didn't expect to run into Gu Qinghe and his group."

Su Yu looked somewhat taken aback. He took out a token. "Area 17? Mine happens to be in area 18."

"Really?" Ye Xuan was also quite surprised.

"It seems that my senior sister and I are indeed destined to meet."

"Senior sister thinks so too..." Su Yu smiled, then took out a green fruit filled with rich spiritual energy.

“Junior brother, you must be lacking some resources since you came to Thundercloud Valley to cultivate. This is a Spirit Pear Moon Fruit, which is ranked fourth grade and will be of great help to your cultivation.”

"A fourth-grade natural treasure?" Ye Xuan was surprised, but he waved his hands repeatedly in refusal.

"No, no, I can't take it from my senior sister. She has helped me many times before, I can't just take it for nothing!"

Su Yu explained softly, "It's nothing. It's just a fourth-grade fruit, useless to you, Senior Sister. Just accept it if I tell you to."

Ye Xuan's expression was resolute. "Senior Sister, you already gave me a Yuan Yang Grass before, how could I possibly ask for something from you again for no reason?"

"Besides, didn't you just say you admire my ability to stick to my principles? If I choose to accept rewards without merit, wouldn't you look down on me, Ye Xuan?"

"I cannot accept this gift!"

"........"

At this moment, Su Yu wished she could slap herself across the face.

Sure enough, one should not be too confident.

I never expected that this time I would end up shooting myself in the foot...
