Chapter 215: A Wanton Bitch!

Hearing this, Shi Zhengxiong gave a dry laugh and continued, "I wonder which sect or school you hail from, Young Master? I don't recall ever seeing you before."

Despite his words, his sharp gaze remained fixed on Su Chen, filled with a measure of scrutiny and appraisal, as if he would draw his blade the very next second should Su Chen's answer fail to satisfy him.

Having arrived here, Su Chen was naturally not foolish enough to show his true face; he had long since consumed a cosmetic pill to make his appearance appear somewhat mediocre compared to his original features. However, the temperament he carried could not be faked, and the natural air of nobility about him was unreachable.

Anyone who saw him for the first time would never think him an ordinary person.

"I don't believe it is necessary for me to tell the Alliance Leader these things. I received a favor from Liu Ruyan, and that is why I am repaying it by ensuring her safety. Once this cause and effect is settled, we will naturally have nothing more to do with each other."

Su Chen remained unmoved by his act, and his words were equally blunt.

As expected of a Young Master cultivated by a hidden family, this arrogance was indeed incomparable to that of ordinary people.

Shi Zhengxiong laughed heartily, immediately harboring thoughts of forming an alliance.

He likely looked down on the usual benefits for a person of this sort, but with Liu Ruyan acting as a go-between, it was, for Shi Zhengxiong, an opportunity in itself.

Moreover, the time to crusade against the Su Family was approaching, and having one more background force meant one more possibility of success.

However, he was naturally not foolish enough to state his purpose immediately.

"In a few days, our sect will open the Qingyun Secret Realm. I wonder if you would be interested in following us there, Young Master?"

Shi Zhengxiong spoke, his eyes carrying a hint of kindness.

This sentence carried a great intention of friendship; the Qingyun Secret Realm was a Secret Realm guarded solely by the Qingyun Alliance, passed down for ten million years, and it contained countless treasures.

It was never open to those outside the sect, and unless it was a matter of great importance, they almost never sent disciples there for training.

They had invested so much capital this time that anyone with a discerning eye could see that a major event was occurring. By revealing this news to Su Chen, they naturally intended to win him over.

Even if Shi Zhengxiong did not say it, Liu Ruyan would surely have told Su Chen. By being the first to speak, he was effectively granting Su Chen a favor.

Su Chen had gone to such great lengths to infiltrate the Qingyun Alliance to scout around, so he had naturally heard of the Qingyun Secret Realm.

It was not that the treasures within were so alluring, but rather he wanted to see if there was anything else inside. As for the treasures, who would complain about having too many? They were just a small, incidental bonus.

"I will stay by Liu Ruyan's side to escort her."

Su Chen's words served as a tacit acceptance of this favor from the Qingyun Alliance.

"Good, good, good! You are a formidable youth, Young Master. The world of the future will still have to be created by you young people."

Shi Zhengxiong laughed twice, unable to help but hold Su Chen in higher regard.

The Qingyun Secret Realm was a very precious opportunity for an ordinary aristocratic disciple, yet Su Chen's performance just now showed no yearning or greed. This steady temperament was worthy of a Young Master from a hidden family; he had vision.

A few days passed in a flash. During these days, Su Chen had stayed by Liu Ruyan's side, living a life of unbridled happiness, and finally, the time for the Qingyun Secret Realm to open arrived.

Those who could enter the Qingyun Secret Realm were basically the elite of the Qingyun Alliance. Before the hour had even arrived, a massive crowd had already gathered. Su Chen and Liu Ruyan arrived earlier than expected, but they were still considered late among the disciples.

Because the Qingyun Secret Realm had not been opened for a thousand years, although it was a private resource of the Qingyun Alliance, the changes over such a long time could not be underestimated. Risks and opportunities coexisted within, and the Qingyun Alliance was very attentive to this training session in the Secret Realm.

This training was mainly led by the Second Elder, Pan Feichi, who headed a team of elites. Everyone was equipped with a Transmission Talisman; once they encountered difficulties, they only needed to crush the talisman in their hands to immediately let others in the sect know.

Shi Zhengxiong gave a passionate speech from above, making the blood of the disciples below boil with excitement.

"Does your Alliance Leader always engage in such formalism?"

Su Chen's ears were about to grow calluses from listening, and he couldn't help but ask Liu Ruyan beside him.

Liu Ruyan had been listening intently and was caught off guard when Su Chen suddenly called out to her, but she quickly nodded.

"Listening to him talk is not as good as listening to me teach you some cultivation techniques."

Su Chen looked at Liu Ruyan with a smile, his face wearing a wicked grin, appearing somewhat charmingly evil.

Liu Ruyan immediately understood what he was talking about.

For the past few days, the two had basically been practicing Dual Cultivation. From her initial resistance to later tasting the sweetness, Liu Ruyan had become somewhat unstoppable, though she still maintained her reserve.

"You lecher, saying such things in a public place... have you no shame!"

Liu Ruyan's words carried blame, but looking at her flushed, peach-blossom face, it seemed more like coquetry.

"I am seriously talking to you about cultivation techniques. What is going on in that little head of yours?"

Su Chen flicked Liu Ruyan on the forehead, a triumphant smile on his face.

At the thought of the absurdity of the past few days, where the two had unlocked many new positions, Liu Ruyan felt her face burning just by recalling it. Yet Su Chen remained so brazen, leaving her with no way to express her frustration.

Not knowing how to retort, Liu Ruyan could only glare at Su Chen with her beautiful eyes, half-shy and half-angry.

These intimate actions between the two made Gu Feiyang gnash his teeth in hatred. He stood with Zhao Yangyao; his injuries were slightly lighter, and after these few days of recuperation, nothing looked amiss.

But Zhao Yangyao was miserable, covered in black and blue bruises, and had barely been able to get out of bed for the past few days.

And the culprit was still there, flirting and being lovey-dovey; how could they be reconciled to this?

"A wanton bitch! And a brat who doesn't know the immensity of heaven and earth!"

Zhao Yangyao said indignantly. If looks could kill, he would have already hacked Su Chen and Liu Ruyan into ten thousand pieces.

"What did you say?"

Gu Feiyang had already categorized Liu Ruyan as his own woman, and hearing Zhao Yangyao say this, he was immediately displeased.

He had been feeling stifled for the past few days and was just looking for an outlet to vent.

Zhao Yangyao also realized he had spoken out of turn and immediately put on a fawning smile: "I was talking about that kid named Lingchen. He's arrogant and full of himself, has no real ability, just a hollow shell, relying on his face to seduce people."

Lingchen was the alias Su Chen used outside.

"He has people protecting him outside, but once he's inside the Qingyun Secret Realm, there's no guarantee if something happens. After all, there are strange phenomena everywhere in there; it's normal for a few people to die every time it opens."

Gu Feiyang smiled sinisterly, his eyes as cunning as a venomous snake dripping with poison.

Zhao Yangyao shivered and lowered his head, saying nothing.
