Chapter 16: Your master is already dead!

The group of Peak Masters all took a deep look at Han Yu, but the latter merely smiled faintly and spoke in a gentle voice.

"Fellow Senior Brothers, you surely won't be fighting over people with our Tianjian Peak now, right?"

The group of Peak Masters fell silent, and Han Yu continued to smile.

"Since the competition has ended, can the rewards from just now be handed over?"

Hearing this, the group of Peak Masters realized belatedly, thinking to themselves that they had been tricked by Han Yu this time.

However, none of them hesitated; they immediately took out the promised rewards from their storage rings and used spiritual power to float them over to Ji Yanling's side.

Ji Yanling hesitated slightly; to tell the truth, she did not really want things from others.

Although these were the rewards from the wager, taking things from others makes one's hands short, and eating others' food makes one's mouth soft; this could be considered half a favor.

Ji Yanling did not like owing anyone anything, of course, with the exception of Han Yu.

"Junior Sister, accept them. This can also be considered a gesture of goodwill from your Senior Brothers."

"Everyone is a member of the Youxian Sect. If you achieve something in the future, we will all share in the honor and be able to bask in your glory, so there is no need to be too polite."

Hearing these words from Han Yu, Ji Yanling nodded and put away the rewards.

Those Peak Masters also understood that Han Yu was helping them convey some goodwill to Ji Yanling, and they felt a bit more comfortable in their hearts.

They seemed less resistant to Ji Yanling staying at Tianjian Peak.

However, Tianhuo Peak Master Sun Huowang still said in a muffled voice.

"Han Yu, don't think that Junior Sister Ji breaking through the two great Extreme Realms is your credit. This is merely because Junior Sister has extraordinary talent. If Junior Sister has any problems with her cultivation in the future, we will hold you accountable just the same!"

Sun Huowang's words seemed to express dissatisfaction toward Han Yu, but in reality, they also acknowledged Ji Yanling's status.

Previously, everyone wanted to take her as a disciple, but now that they had lost the wager, they were willing to accept the loss and acknowledge this Junior Sister who was on the same level as them.

The others also spoke up one after another, all indicating that Han Yu must take good care of Ji Yanling, and if any problems arose with her, they would hold him responsible.

Han Yu did not talk back to these Senior Brothers and agreed with a smile.

Ji Yanling had originally been somewhat unhappy with these people, but she also felt their goodwill, so her resistance lessened, and she gained a bit more sense of belonging to the Youxian Sect.

Previously, she had only regarded this place as a stepping stone, planning to head to other prefectures to seek opportunities after reaching the Wang Realm.

But now that her Senior Brother was here, it seemed to really give her a feeling of home.

Seeing that the matter was concluded, Liu Ruyan said to everyone.

"Everyone else leave first. Xiao Yu, you stay behind; I have some things to instruct you on."

The group of Peak Masters bowed to Liu Ruyan and took their leave upon hearing the order. Only Ji Yanling scanned Liu Ruyan with a vigilant gaze and left the Hui Yi Dian with a few doubts.

As soon as she walked out of the Hui Yi Dian, she was caught up to by Zhao Hongying.

"Your Highness, I have some things I must tell you..."

Zhao Hongying immediately used spiritual power transmission to Ji Yanling, who frowned slightly as she listened, then spoke faintly.

"I have no interest whatsoever in the so-called throne or imperial position. If you have nothing else, leave first. I am staying here to wait for my Senior Brother."

Hearing this, Zhao Hongying's eyes dimmed instantly, but she did not force the issue. Instead, she spoke with a solemn expression.

"Your Highness, no matter what you plan to do in the future, you must never go to the Dayan Dynasty again. If you promise me this, I will not urge you to return to the Chihuo Dynasty."

Ji Yanling frowned slightly, but still nodded.

Seeing this, Zhao Hongying breathed a sigh of relief. She wanted to say something, but stopped herself. Finally, she revealed a smile and left this place.

As she flew away on her artifact, she looked back at Ji Yanling and sighed in her heart.

"That is fine too. Her Highness has suffered so much over these years; let her have a good rest."

"Let me, Zhao Hongying, bear all the hatred for her!"

Inside the Hui Yi Dian.

Liu Ruyan looked at Han Yu with charming, watery eyes, smiling without saying a word, which instantly made the latter's scalp tingle.

"Senior Aunt, why are you looking at me like that? It's quite creepy."

Han Yu squeezed out a smile.

"Xiao Yu, do you not have anything you need to explain to me?"

Liu Ruyan crossed her legs, her pair of fair, long legs overlapping, and one could vaguely glimpse some mystery between them.

"Ah? What does Senior Aunt mean by that?"

"If you won't say it, then I will take action myself!"

Before Liu Ruyan's voice had faded, a powerful Cold Water spiritual power surged out, forming a large hand that grabbed fiercely toward Han Yu.

"Come, Senior Aunt will check your body for you!"

"Ah, Senior Aunt, don't!"

Han Yu's whole body trembled, and the spiritual power within his body surged out, activating his automatic body protection.

Hum—

Han Yu's spiritual power formed a circular shield, which was suddenly grabbed by Liu Ruyan's large hand.

"Hmm? Such abundant spiritual power!"

Liu Ruyan's beautiful eyes shook, and she looked at Han Yu in surprise.

"You are also an Extreme Realm cultivator, and a Three Extreme Realm one at that?"

Han Yu's aura was now fully revealed and could not be hidden at all, so he could only smile slightly.

"Heh, just luck, just luck."

"You call this luck? Excessive humility is pride. You brat, you've hidden yourself quite deeply all these years!"

Liu Ruyan narrowed her beautiful eyes, and the corners of her mouth curled into an arc.

"However, your spiritual power intensity seems much more formidable than that of a normal Three Extreme Realm cultivator!"

"Oh? Senior Aunt, have you seen other Three Extreme Realm cultivators?"

"Of course. Not only have I seen Three Extreme Realm ones, I've even seen seven... Hey, you brat, are you trying to fish information out of me?"

Liu Ruyan's figure flickered, and she arrived in front of Han Yu. A fair finger hooked his chin, and she breathed like an orchid.

"I see you have thick eyebrows and big eyes, and I thought you were an honest person. I heard you've been obsessed with brothels all these years, yet you still have this level of cultivation. Could it be that you've practiced some Hehuan Technique?"

Liu Ruyan extended her pink, tender tongue and licked her lips slightly. Her voice was coquettish and full of charm.

"Do you want Senior Aunt to practice with you?"

Han Yu's face instantly turned red, and his blood energy surged downward; he almost couldn't hold himself back.

It is said that Water-system cultivators are natural succubi, and it is true. Even without practicing charm techniques, under the constant nourishment of water-attribute spiritual power, every inch of their skin and flesh is full of temptation.

They are like ripe peaches, and everyone has the desire to take a bite.

However, Han Yu still suppressed the evil fire in his body. He could perceive that this Liu Ruyan was not someone to be trifled with.

With his current strength, it was impossible to do her; he would only be done by her instead.

So it was better to keep a low profile. He coughed dryly and said.

"Senior Aunt, don't be like this. If Master finds out, it won't be very good."

Hearing this, Liu Ruyan smiled. She could conclude that this Han Yu had not practiced any techniques of harvesting yin to nourish yang.

Otherwise, being tempted by her like this, he would definitely not be able to endure it.

In this world, all techniques of harvesting yin to nourish yang or harvesting yang to nourish yin are evil arts, because for the party being harvested, there is only harm and no benefit.

Many evil cultivators, in order to speed up their cultivation, often harvest mortal men and women, sucking them completely dry.

This kind of cultivation speed is indeed a thousand miles a day, but if Han Yu had really embarked on this path, she might have to clean up the sect.

Han Yu had withstood her test, so Liu Ruyan smiled and spoke slowly.

"Since you mentioned your master, let's talk about her affairs."

"Hmm?"

Hearing that Liu Ruyan was going to talk about his master, that silver-haired, red-eyed silhouette appeared in Han Yu's mind again.

When he first transmigrated here, he was almost starved to death. If it hadn't been for Mu Bingyao's rescue, he wouldn't be where he was today.

So although Mu Bingyao had brought him back to Tianjian Peak and then left him to his own devices, Han Yu still had a strong sense of gratitude toward his master.

Han Yu also really wanted to know news about his master now.

He looked at Liu Ruyan, waiting for her to speak and tell him about Mu Bingyao.

Who knew that Liu Ruyan would part her red lips and utter a sentence that made Han Yu feel as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.

"Your master is already dead."
