Chapter 1436: She Really Is Jealous

Li Hongyu paused here and said, "You have lived two lifetimes, and in both you have dealt with him. If you say you have no feelings for him, do you believe it yourself?"

"Enough, say no more. The two of you are nearly two hundred years old combined, yet you still talk like this—aren't you blushing?" Liu Ruxi stamped her foot, turned around, and left.

The two old men watched her retreating back and couldn't help but burst into laughter. This girl, whether she admitted it with her mouth or not, had truly lost her heart; that was certain, she just hadn't realized it herself yet.

Following his intuition, Chen Yu traveled all the way to the edge of a lake, where he saw a small skiff resting in the center.

A graceful figure stood upon the solitary boat, looking toward the direction where Chen Yu was; it was none other than Yu Sichen.

It had been a long time, and Yu Sichen appeared even more elegant and moving. Furthermore, having achieved success in her cultivation, she carried a natural Spiritual Light, giving one the feeling that she stood amidst the mountains and waters like a person from a painting.

Chen Yu knew this was the rhythm of one who had achieved success in cultivation and become one with heaven and earth. She had finally broken through the barrier of the Ancestral Ghost's dark aura, integrated its power, and officially stepped into cultivation.

Seeing Chen Yu, Yu Sichen smiled slightly. She flicked her right palm backward, and a strand of Primordial Qi gently surged into the center of the lake, driving the small boat to drift slowly toward them.

After docking, she stepped off the small boat. In the moment she stepped down, Chen Yu had a dazed illusion; he felt that the current Yu Sichen was as if she had walked right out of a painting.

"It's been a long time. Are you well?" Chen Yu steadied himself and looked at Yu Sichen.

Yu Sichen smiled faintly, then opened her arms and hugged Chen Yu tightly.

A moment later, at a pavilion by the lake, Chen Yu and Yu Sichen sat side by side.

"The Soul Ferrying Dharma Assembly has come to an end. For every soul I ferried during the Reincarnation, I gained a point of merit, so the negative influence brought by the Ancestral Ghost has been completely eliminated," Yu Sichen said.

"That's good. I was worried the Ancestral Ghost would come out to stir up trouble again, but now there's no need to worry," Chen Yu said with a faint smile.

"Yes, he won't come out again," Yu Sichen smiled softly. "How are you now?"

"I'm fine. I finished one matter and found Liu Lianxin's Lotus Body for the One Qi Transforms into Three Lotuses," Chen Yu said. "Now that she has awakened her own consciousness, it won't be long before she begins cultivation again."

"I owed her too much before; this time, it counts as repaying a bit of the favor."

"You found her?" Yu Sichen smiled slightly. "That's good. I actually came to find you thinking that if you hadn't found her yet, I would help you out. But now that it's settled, where are you going next?"

"Cloud Hut Residence." Chen Yu spat out the three words.

"Are you finally going to make a move against them?" Yu Sichen was slightly moved, then said, "The current actions of Cloud Hut Residence can be said to have incited the wrath of both heaven and man."

"Actually, it's not that I want to make a move; I don't have any major conflict of interest with them. It's Dragon Breath..." Chen Yu said. "Cloud Hut Residence has overreached; it is Dragon Breath that wants to make a move against them."

"But you are a sword in the hands of Dragon Breath," Yu Sichen looked at Chen Yu. "Based on my understanding of you, you shouldn't be someone easily used, right?"

"Of course not," Chen Yu smiled slightly. "But this matter with Cloud Hut Residence does contain, more or less, some personal grudges."

"Besides, I haven't been at Dragon Breath for long, but I've already managed to form my own faction. So, there are plenty of people in and out of Dragon Breath who find me an eyesore," Chen Yu laughed. "This time, I'll resolve the Cloud Hut Residence matter and make all those people shut up."

"I understand." Yu Sichen nodded slightly. She smiled, "It will indeed make those people shut up. When do you plan to go to Cloud Hut Residence? I'll go with you."

"This... you shouldn't go; it's a personal grudge," Chen Yu said.

"It's not just a personal grudge. I am now in charge of the Demon Department and can be considered a part of Dragon Breath. No matter what happens to Dragon Breath, I will stand on your side," Yu Sichen said. "So don't refuse, or you won't have enough people."

Chen Yu gave a wry smile. He had originally not wanted Yu Sichen to be involved in this matter, but since she had put it that way, he found it difficult to refuse.

"The Seven Sects and Nine Gates of the Shu Alliance will all voice their support this time; after all, this is their only chance to stand out," Chen Yu laughed.

The Shu Alliance was established in Shu when they went to the Cloud Void Realm. Now, with Tianxin as the leader, the sects within a thousand-mile radius of Shu mostly belong to the Shu Alliance. As long as Chen Yu has a request, the Shu Alliance will mobilize.

Although these are all small sects, there is no lack of experts among them; it is enough to deal with one Cloud Hut Residence.

"Then I must follow," Yu Sichen said, with a hint of coquettishness. "If it really doesn't work, I'll bring a few Brahman experts from abroad. After all, I am the Dragon Maiden revered by the A-San Divine Sect."

"No, that would make the problem serious," Chen Yu said, between laughter and tears. "It's enough that you follow me. There aren't any formidable experts in Cloud Hut Residence; it's just that the Six Great Elders are a bit troublesome."

"Fine, I'll listen to you," Yu Sichen nodded.

"Let's go back and discuss the big plan," Chen Yu said. "And while we're at it, figure out when to go to Cloud Hut Residence."

When Chen Yu brought Yu Sichen back, Li Hongyu gave a soft 'eh'. He couldn't help but look at Yu Sichen, his brows slightly furrowed.

Although Yu Sichen was now a Dharma Cultivator and her own strength had long since suppressed the aura of the Ancestral Ghost, Li Hongyu had lived for decades at the intersection of the Three Dark Worlds and was extremely sensitive to Dark Power.

Therefore, when Yu Sichen appeared, he felt the biting Dark Power on her body the very first moment.

"Let me introduce you, this is Yu Sichen," Chen Yu smiled.

"Si Chen, long time no see," Liu Ruxi smiled slightly and walked forward.

"Are you Lianxin?" Yu Sichen was startled when she saw her. She walked forward and held Liu Ruxi's hands tightly.

The two had a good relationship before, and now seeing each other again, it was as if a lifetime had passed.

"Yes, but now I am called Liu Ruxi," Liu Ruxi said with a smile, holding her hands.

"You... have suffered," Yu Sichen couldn't help but feel a bit heartbroken.

When she was going through the most difficult and darkest time of her life, it was Yu Sichen who stayed by her side to comfort and encourage her.

But now, when she saw her, she was already a different person.

"It's fine, this was my destiny from the start; no one could change it," Yu Sichen smiled slightly. "And I don't feel like I've suffered much; it's just that I'm living in this world again under a different identity."
