Young Master, Since You're Here, Why Not Show Yourself?

Then a figure was sent flying.

Di Juetian floated in the void, rubbing his forehead.

He had thought he would get to watch a good show.

He hadn't expected to be disturbed.

"Brother Yu, is there something you want to tell me?"

"Yes, but I'll tell you another day."

"Now isn't the time."

Hearing that, Shangguan Wan'er's face turned as red as blood.

"Really? Wouldn't that be inappropriate?"

"There's nothing inappropriate about it. But why is your face so red?"

Seeing Xiao Yu's expression, Shangguan Wan'er's face changed. She hadn't expected that she had read too much into it.

"It's nothing. By the way, was what Qing'er said earlier true?"

Shangguan Wan'er still couldn't believe it.

That Xiao Yu was that kind of person.

"Wan'er, haven't you noticed that ever since you came back, with that mysterious young master involved, it's as though the two of us have been schemed against?"

"If your sister had really done what she said, there's no way I wouldn't have noticed."

"And I really didn't know anything about her sending me resources. Besides, all the resources I used were ones I worked hard to earn."

"After all, I'm an alchemist."

Hearing that, Shangguan Wan'er's eyes filled with surprise.

She hadn't expected that after three years apart,

Xiao Yu had actually become an alchemist.

It seemed she had made the right choice.

She was only doing it for Qing'er's own good.

The next time I see Qing'er, I'll tell her that Xiao Yu isn't the same Xiao Yu he used to be.

"By the way, Brother Xiao Yu, what are your plans next?"

"The greatest opportunity probably hasn't appeared yet."

"But Wan'er, after the secret realm closes, I have a gift for you."

Hearing that, Shangguan Wan'er's eyes lit up.

"What is it you're giving me, Brother Xiao Yu? Can you tell me?"

"All I can say is, it's something even Di Juetian doesn't have."

"Something with a Heaven and Earth Imprint."

At this point, Xiao Yu couldn't help showing off.

"A Heaven and Earth Imprint.

"A Divine Ability?"

Xiao Yu said nothing, merely smiling.

"Brother Xiao Yu, you really are incredibly lucky. Di Juetian might not have anything like that."

Shangguan Wan'er sighed with admiration.

In the void, Di Juetian sneered.

Frogs at the bottom of a well.

I don't have one, but my Lineage does.

The Di Lineage has existed for so long.

Seizing a few was only necessary.

However, Di Juetian had received Divine Abilities from the system, and those Divine Abilities were extraordinarily powerful.

So he hadn't cultivated his Lineage's Divine Abilities.

"But it doesn't matter."

"Now, it's time to begin my plan."

Di Juetian's eyes held a certain look.

With that thought, a figure appeared beside Di Juetian.

A closer look revealed him to be Du Ziteng.

"Go. Don't disappoint me."

Di Juetian gave the order.

Hearing this, Du Ziteng dropped to his knees.

"Yes, Master."

At that moment, the two of them were trying to find a way to seal the cave entrance again.

After all, they had been hunted all the way there and still hadn't recovered.

A figure suddenly appeared before them.

The two tensed, but when they saw it was Du Ziteng,

they breathed a sigh of relief.

Neither of them took him seriously.

He was just a prodigy from the Lower Realm.

And a spoiled one at that.

"I've found you."

Du Ziteng smiled, a wicked charm in his eyes.

The two frowned, sensing that Du Ziteng had changed somehow, though they couldn't say exactly how.

"Shangguan Wan'er, you made Shangguan Qing'er sad. I wonder, if I kill the man beside you, will you be sad too?"

"How dare you! If you touch a single hair on Brother Xiao Yu's head, I'll hunt you down and kill you, whether you flee to heaven or burrow into the earth!"

Du Ziteng smiled at Shangguan Wan'er's words.

"Wan'er, let me do it. From now on, I'll protect you, even though you're stronger than I am right now."

"But I'm a man too. This is a battle between men.

"He's just a spoiled prodigy who's always lived in his own world."

Hearing Xiao Yu's arrogant words, Shangguan Wan'er frowned without saying anything.

Then she relaxed.

Her sister had won because Di Juetian had helped her.

Du Ziteng alone probably couldn't beat Brother Xiao Yu. Besides, if anything else happened, wasn't she there too?

Xiao Yu rose to his feet and formed a seal with both hands.

A lotus-shaped mark appeared.

"I'll finish you in one move."

Xiao Yu was brimming with confidence.

He had lost to Shangguan Qing'er earlier, and this man was her follower.

At the thought, Xiao Yu's belly filled with fury.

Looking at the Lotus Flame Seal,

Shangguan Wan'er's eyes also showed wariness.

She hadn't expected Xiao Yu to have such a powerful move.

But immediately afterward, both their pupils contracted.

Their eyes filled with shock.

Du Ziteng looked at the Lotus Flame Seal, reached out with two fingers, and actually crushed it.

"You look down on me."

Du Ziteng strolled toward the two of them with leisurely steps.

"No, impossible. You're not Du Ziteng."

Xiao Yu spoke with certainty.

"If I'm not Du Ziteng, then who am I?"

Shangguan Wan'er looked at Du Ziteng.

Then she looked at the void around them.

"Young master, since you're here, why not show yourself?"

Shangguan Wan'er spoke each word distinctly.

At the same time, her expression darkened.

"How interesting. As expected of a Seven-Orifices Exquisite Heart. Your perception is quite good."

Di Juetian wore a cold smile. If I hadn't deliberately revealed my presence, do you think you could have detected me?

Seeing Di Juetian in the void, both their pupils contracted.

"Young master, what do you mean by this?"

"What do I mean?"

"If I'm not mistaken, you're supposed to be my maid, aren't you?

"Yet you're entangled with someone else.

"Once you became my maid, your life became mine."

After Di Juetian appeared, Du Ziteng dropped to his knees.

Xiao Yu frowned involuntarily.

"Come out."

Just then, Di Juetian spoke.

Hearing this, the two looked to the side.

A woman appeared there.

It was none other than Shangguan Qing'er.

"Elder sister, it's been a few days. I trust you've been well?"

Seeing this scene, Shangguan Wan'er suddenly had a bad feeling.

She didn't know why, but she felt as though some great terror had set its sights on her.

"Qing'er, I didn't expect you to come too."

"Yes, I came too."

"Brother Xiao Yu, leave first in a moment."

Hearing this, Xiao Yu's expression changed. He was a man, after all.

Facing a powerful enemy, he couldn't let the woman he loved stand in front of him.

"If we leave, we leave together."

"This is a teleportation talisman."

"Brother Xiao Yu, don't worry about me. They won't hurt me. The young master won't make a move."

"If the young master doesn't make a move, those two are no match for me."
