Chapter 233: Chapter 12: Xiao White Fox (12)

“Senior Brother, long time no see, how have you been?”

Liu Ruyan blocked Zhang Yixuan on the mountain path leading back to his cave abode.

At this moment, Liu Ruyan had lost the greenness of youth, and gained a seductive maturity like that of a ripe peach.

Liu Ruyan was indeed very beautiful, looking at Zhang Yixuan with affectionate eyes. If one had little willpower, they might fall for her.

The land of warmth and tenderness, a hero’s grave.

It’s just a pity that after experiencing what happened back then, Zhang Yixuan was no longer the person who could be led by the nose by Liu Ruyan.

“Does Junior Sister need something?”

Liu Ruyan watched Zhang Yixuan’s indifferent demeanor and suddenly tears gathered at her lashes: “Senior Brother is still mad at me, isn’t it? I’m sorry, Senior Brother. I was young and ignorant back then, didn’t understand, that’s why I hurt you, but I really didn’t do it on purpose.”

Zhang Yixuan quietly looked at Liu Ruyan, his heart as calm as water.

“Senior Brother, back then I just thought Tao Hui’s strength was amazing and admired him a little. But once Senior Brother exited seclusion, you suspected me and Tao Hui of something. I was so angry then; clearly I had nothing to do with Tao Hui, yet you said such things and even went to trouble him, putting me in an awkward position. I thought, since you suspected me, I might as well just be with Tao Hui.”

“Senior Brother, I regret it so much, I shouldn’t have been so willful.”

“Senior Brother, you don’t know, Tao Hui isn’t a good person. Though we formed a cultivation bond as partners, he dallies with other women, even brought one back from outside. I’m in such pain.”

“I know Senior Brother is the best for me, I regret it so much, Senior Brother, can we start over again? Will Senior Brother forgive me?”

Zhang Yixuan coldly looked at Liu Ruyan, he hadn’t expected that over these years, Junior Sister would change like this, her heart wasn’t pure anymore.

To be honest, although he was absorbed in cultivation, he still cared about his mentor and Junior Sister, and was fully aware of Liu Ruyan’s situation.

What was merely admiration for the strong was actually her eye on the strong all along.

Now that Tao Hui lost and he won, so she came to block him.

If one day he fell to the bottom again, and someone stronger appeared, would this woman go block that person?

“Junior Sister, please have some dignity, you are someone with a cultivation partner. There is nothing between us anymore, and I only have brotherly affection for you.”

Having already seen through Liu Hanyan, Zhang Yixuan didn’t want to speak too harshly, as she was the little girl he once cared for.

Liu Ruyan’s eyes turned red, she hadn’t thought that after apologizing and explaining so humbly, this man wouldn’t appreciate it at all, how wonderful, truly wonderful.

“Is Senior Brother really so heartless?”

“Junior Sister, a couple on one day can be grateful for a hundred days of grace, talk things over with Junior Brother Tao; too much impulsiveness will only hurt yourself.”

Liu Ruyan swept her sleeves and left.

Zhang Yixuan thought about it, and went to find the Sect Leader.

“Disciple pays respect to Master.”

“Ah Yixuan, no need to rise.”

“Master, Junior Sister came to find me just now….”

Zhang Yixuan recounted Liu Ruyan’s words.

“Master, if Junior Brother Tao really acted excessively, you should still step in. If not convenient, disciple is willing to do it on your behalf. Junior Sister is after all Master’s only daughter, raised with care since young, how can she suffer such grievances.”

The Sect Leader felt deeply embarrassed.

It was Liu Ruyan who caused the stir back then, and now it is Liu Ruyan who wants to reconcile.

When did this child become like this? How did she even have the face to seek forgiveness and ask to start over with Yixuan, humph.

Seeing Zhang Yixuan’s sincere eyes, the Sect Leader sighed: “Yixuan, sorry to let you witness this farce, don’t bother with Ruyan. The road she chose, let her continue to walk.”

In the end, over the years, the Sect Leader was hurt by Liu Ruyan’s actions.

Originally, cultivators generally have diluted emotions. Liu Hanyan was self-destructive, and the Sect Leader really turned a blind eye to her.

Unexpectedly, Liu Hanyan went to find Cui Wenyu.

Cui Wenyu’s hatred for Tao Hui was bone-deep, and now Liu Hanyan actually sought him out; isn’t this an opportunity for revenge?

Months later, someone discovered Cui Wenyu and Liu Hanyan engaged in activities in a small valley.

In an instant, the Qingyun Sect was in an uproar.

Such a beautiful little sister, but she turned out to be a wanton woman.

The Sect Leader was truly humiliated.

Thinking it over, he found the Wine Immortal and several elders, and prepared to select a new Sect Leader, as he planned to travel with his wife, leaving Liu Hanyan to do as she pleased.

The Sect Leader was truly disappointed in Liu Hanyan.

Back then, Zhang Yixuan loved her so much, yet she abandoned him, and when Zhang Yixuan became stronger, she went back to find him; who did she think she was?

This matter shamed Tao Hui greatly as well, as the metaphorical ’green hat’ was directly placed upon him.

However, he endured it, thinking the Sect Leader might even feel some guilt towards him over this matter?

He heard the Sect Leader was selecting a new Sect Leader, so if he bears it now, he’ll naturally have a chance.

As long as he becomes the Sect Leader, Liu Hanyan would neither live well nor die easily.

It’s just a pity that the final announcement was to appoint Zhang Yixuan as the Sect Leader.

Zhang Yixuan had quite the capability and was the Sect Leader’s personal disciple, having helped manage various matters over the years.

Moreover, his strength was formidable.

Originally, the Sect Leader had intended Li Shuning for the position.

But when he went to the Wine Immortal, who then brought him to Li Shuning, Li Shuning refused.

Li Shuning said her ambition was not here, and she only wished to cultivate well.

The Qingyun Sect always chose talents without being bound by tradition, though there were many more qualified than Zhang Yixuan, in the end, everyone chose Zhang Yixuan.

He was young and talented, was that not reason enough?

As soon as the news was announced, Tao Hui was stunned.

Why?

He was Liu Ruyan’s cultivation partner, he was the ruler of this world, why did the Sect Leader not choose him?

Bai Lianxin felt uncomfortable seeing Tao Hui’s desolate and distressed appearance.

If Brother Hui wants the Sect Leader position, then no one will take it from him, not even Zhang Yixuan, humph.

While Tao Hui was still immersed in his world, Bai Lianxin quickly headed to Zhang Yixuan’s cave abode.

Li Shuning, who had always been observing Tao Hui and Bai Lianxin, naturally noticed Bai Lianxin’s actions.

Bai Lianxin acted without any scruples, and Junior Brother Zhang might be in danger.

Li Shuning laughed, wasn’t this exactly the opportunity she wanted?

Li Shuning quietly left her cave abode and then sent messages to some individuals before following.

Bai Lianxin arrived at Zhang Yixuan’s cave abode but found several Human Clan cultivators inside; she couldn’t just charge in.

After all, her identity couldn’t be exposed, and some of her trump cards were unusable, she would have to wait; since he was a newly appointed, there would surely be many coming to visit and congratulate, after his joy waned, then she would kill him.
