She crossed her legs, her body less than twenty centimeters away from Su Yun. Su Yun could see the soft trembling of her chest and smell the faint fragrance emanating from her.

However, he remained indifferent and slowly said, "Fellow Daoist, what is it? Just say it directly. Don't put on this act. I am not the kind of person who is blinded by lust."

The woman exuded an aura indicating she was at the ninth level of Body Refinement.

But he had a feeling that this was not simple; the cultivation technique was probably above the Earth Rank.

His mental strength is now extraordinary, and his perception is equally amazing. He is particularly sensitive to the aura emitted by others.

Although he couldn't make a specific judgment about the strength of someone's cultivation technique, he could sense some of it from the other person's aura.

Hearing Su Yun say this, and seeing his calm, still gaze without glancing at her, she was slightly surprised.

She slightly composed herself, rested her cheek on one hand, looked at Su Yun, and said, "Young friend, my name is Ding Qian'er."

"The main reason I've come here this time is to ask you for something, young fellow Daoist."

"Are you asking me for something?"

Su Yun was puzzled.

"You must have mistaken me for someone else. I don't know you at all, and I don't have what you need."

Upon hearing this, Ding Qian'er chuckled and continued, "Little fellow Daoist, don't be so quick to deny it."

"This is indeed our first time meeting."

"But you do have something I need."

"what?"

Su Yun subconsciously asked back.

After hearing this, Ding Qian'er glanced around and then said softly, "You've had the Soul-Guiding Bell for a while now, young friend. Shouldn't it be returned to its rightful owner?"

The Soul-Guiding Bell!

Upon hearing these three words, Su Yun's eyes narrowed.

Is this Ding Qian'er a member of the Human Desire Sect?!

In particular, how did she know that the item had been returned to its rightful owner?

Suddenly, he remembered that when he tried to probe the Soul-Guiding Bell with his divine sense, he was repelled by the restrictions within it.

It became clear immediately that the other party had a way to track the Soul-Guiding Bell!

He realized to himself that he had been careless.

I should have realized that since the Soul-Guiding Bell is a sacred object of the Human Desire Sect, how could it possibly have been left without any means of protection?

Seeing the change in Su Yun's expression, Ding Qian'er covered her mouth and smiled again, saying, "Little fellow Daoist, I guessed right, the Soul-Guiding Bell is indeed in your hands."

"I suppose you were the one who eliminated Lan Xin, right?"

Now that things had come to this, Su Yun didn't hide anything anymore and said directly, "I killed her. What, she was your junior sister? You want to avenge her?"

Seeing Su Yun's increasingly cold gaze, Ding Qian'er said, "Young friend, there's no need for that."

"This Lan Xin is not qualified to be my junior sister."

"She's just a wicked cultivator in the sect with a wicked heart. She secretly learned some low-level forbidden techniques from the sect and even dared to use her position to steal the Soul-Guiding Bell."

"My purpose in going out this time is twofold: first, to retrieve the Soul-Guiding Bell, and second, to eliminate her."

After saying that, she winked at Su Yun and continued, "So, Qian'er should thank you for getting rid of Lan Xin for me and ridding the sect of a scourge."

Upon hearing this, Su Yun was surprised.

Is that really the case?

He had indeed used the essence blood from Lan Xin's brow to find out that she had stolen the sacred artifact and escaped from the sect.

There are also records in the ancient books that I have consulted. Although there is not much information, it can be seen that the Human Desire Sect is not entirely composed of heretical cultivators.

Ding Qian'er looked at Su Yun silently and continued, "Qian'er thanks you, young fellow Daoist."

"However, the Soul-Guiding Bell is a sacred object of our sect. Please return it to Qian'er, young fellow Daoist."

Su Yun pondered for a moment.

Keeping this soul-guiding bell is really not very useful; it's like scrap metal.

But it would be somewhat unsatisfying to just give it to Ding Qian'er like this.

So he slowly said, "Since I took action to eliminate Lan Xin for you and kept the Soul-Guiding Bell for so long..."

"You just took it and left without even a word of thanks?"

Upon hearing this, Ding Qian'er's smiling face froze.
