She was initially filled with anticipation, thinking that if she took out the Nine-Turn Elixir, he would understand that he had wronged her. However... she couldn't afford to explain too much and asked with a face full of doubt, "Aren't you chasing after me because you realized you misunderstood me?"
Shen Yuli did not answer immediately. He recalled his feelings at that moment; indeed, it was because he was heartbroken over Zhao Xin's cruelty and indifference, her disregard for life.
But when he saw her resolutely running away, he suddenly realized that even if she were truly wicked to the core, even if she had offended the entire martial world, even if she had committed unforgivable acts, he still could not let her go.
Moreover, she had many enemies, and her internal energy had yet to recover. If she recklessly went out, what if something unexpected happened...
The more he thought about it, the more anxious he became. The matters concerning Guan Family Fortress were completely cast aside. His mind was filled with only one thought: to find her quickly and protect her under his wings.
Zhao Xin watched him in this state and instantly understood everything. She forced a bitter smile and shook her head repeatedly, feeling an unusual bitterness in her heart. She couldn't tell whether she felt helpless because of his foolishness or deeply moved by his infatuation. She choked back tears and scolded, "You fool!"
Shen Yuli looked confused and asked, "Why are you scolding me again? Where am I foolish? My master often praises me as a top martial arts talent in the world. Besides, do I look like a melon? A watermelon, a bitter melon, or a Hami melon?"
"You fool, fool, fool!" Zhao Xin deliberately provoked him while stomping her foot.
Shen Yuli's playful side emerged as he pretended to be angry and said, "You little brat! If you don't behave, I'll pass my internal energy to you." As he spoke, he made a move as if to pinch Zhao Xin's chin. This was merely a joke, but Zhao Xin seemed genuinely startled and fell silent.
For a moment, an ambiguous atmosphere slowly swirled between them. Shen Yuli gently lifted Zhao Xin's head, his eyes filled with deep affection as he earnestly pressed a kiss on her lips and murmured softly, "Come back with me to Luo Yan sect..."
...
The two of them chatted and laughed as they set off on their way to Luo Yan sect.
In the distance, they saw a middle-aged man standing in the middle of the road, with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, exuding an imposing aura as if he had been waiting there for a long time. A chilling killing intent radiated from his gaze.
Zhao Xin suddenly came to a halt, then pretended to be nonchalant, leaning half of his body affectionately against Shen Yuli, deliberately ignoring the man.
"Have you had enough of your nonsense?" the man said coldly, his voice carrying an undeniable authority.
Zhao Xin shot him a disdainful glance. "What are you doing here?" His tone was filled with contempt and dissatisfaction.
The man's expression darkened as he replied in a low voice, "The leader of Various Sects is about to arrive."
Zhao Xin remained unfazed and burst into laughter, "I see! Last time it was my mother, and this time it's me? Are you planning to kill me to solidify your position as the leader?" His laughter was laced with self-mockery. "Indeed, what am I compared to your position as leader?"
A flicker of anger crossed the man's face as he lamented, "Do you still not realize your mistakes? Do you have any idea how much trouble your recklessness has caused?"
In an instant, the atmosphere shifted; the once clear sky turned overcast, and the shadows of trees swayed in the wind, as if foretelling an impending storm.
Zhao Xin looked around in surprise. Ah, the leader, Abbot, revered master, sect leaders, and old Daoists were all present.
Various Sects had gathered here, voices rising in a tumultuous uproar that seemed to swallow the mountains and rivers. Seeing Little Demon Star surrounded, Tang San took the lead and shouted loudly, beginning to enumerate Zhao Xin's numerous offenses.
