You Scare Me A Little

"Fourth Senior Sister, did you... did you misunderstand something?" Li Xuanxiao couldn't help but ask.

Su Wan looked at him, puzzled, "Could it be, could it be..."

"That's right."

Li Xuanxiao thought Su Wan understood his meaning.

Fourth Senior Sister, you're a bit too narcissistic!

"Could it be that you killed Senior Brother Murong just to get me!?" Su Wan said in shock.

Hearing this, Li Xuanxiao was even more terrified.

Although all of Su Wan's deductions were wrong.

Yet, the outcome was correct.

How could she use her little brain to think that he would kill Murong Mo for her!?

But she actually guessed it right.

It was indeed him who killed Murong Mo.

Li Xuanxiao felt like he was about to collapse internally, this is insane!!

This is too insane.

If others knew about this and believed it, he wouldn't be able to explain himself.

Li Xuanxiao quickly said, "Senior Sister, why would you think that?"

Su Wan took half a step back, "Taking advantage of the chaos, you killed Murong Mo and then framed Di Nüfeng and Liu Qiushui."

"With my strength, how could I be Senior Brother Murong's opponent?"

Su Wan realized this made sense. Then she suddenly said again.

"Could it be that you lured Di Nüfeng and Liu Qiushui to kill Murong Mo? Using others' hands?"

Li Xuanxiao: ...

Senior Sister, you're going off the rails.

This is a bit scary.

"Senior Sister, why do you have such a crazy idea?"

"It wasn't me... I'm sorry..."

Su Wan thought of Li Xuanxiao's actions of secretly monitoring her to protect her before.

If he had killed Murong Mo for her, it would make sense.

"Fourth Senior Sister, what I mean is, you seem to have misunderstood something. I don't like you."

"Ah?"

Su Wan froze on the spot, as if she had heard something incredible.

"You... what did you say?"

Jiang Luoshui, who had been crying, quietly raised her head and perked up her ears.

She was clearly eavesdropping.

Li Xuanxiao: "Senior Sister, I don't have any other intentions towards you. My original intention for placing the Twin Life Image Stone in your cave was to protect you, because you are... how should I put it.

Fourth Senior Sister, let me tell you the truth, don't be angry.

You are a natural doormat. In the words of my hometown, you're someone who can't even get a word out with three kicks!

If others frame you, you won't say a word, you'll just sulk and shed tears.

Even when others falsely accused you of colluding with the Demonic Cult, you didn't dare to explain.

So, I stepped forward back then entirely because I saw through this point and made preparations in advance to prevent Senior Sister from being slandered by others.

As for matters of romance, Junior Disciple Li Xuanxiao's heart is devoted to cultivation, and I have no such intentions.

On the other hand, Xuanxiao knows his own talent is dull and his appearance is ordinary.

While Senior Sister, you are exceptionally talented and stunningly beautiful.

It's truly not someone like Xuanxiao who could be worthy of you. Therefore, I only have admiration for Senior Sister and dare not overstep.

If Senior Sister, one day, can ascend to the Mingtai and achieve enlightenment, it will be Xuanxiao's fortune to be remembered by you."

Li Xuanxiao performed a Daoist礼 (li - a respectful bow).

After his speech, Su Wan was left stunned.

In just a few days, she had suffered two critical blows.

The first blow was the death of Murong Mo, her former lover with whom they had mutual affection but never crossed the line.

The second was that her junior disciple, whom she had always believed deeply loved her and protected her from behind, had just declared his feelings.

He didn't like her, he just genuinely wanted to help her.

"..."

A few days later, the group returned to Shushan.

After completing the mission, Li Xuanxiao returned to Silver Sword Peak.

As for the matters behind Murong Mo, Shushan would naturally handle them.

Back at Silver Sword Peak, Li Xuanxiao thought about his experiences over the past few days and couldn't help but feel a sense of lingering fear.

First, there was Murong Mo's assassination attempt on him.

Although this was within Li Xuanxiao's expectations.

And he had easily counter-killed Murong Mo.

However, encountering existences like Di Nüfeng and Liu Qiushui was completely beyond Li Xuanxiao's anticipation.

Fortunately, it was a close call.

The cultivation world is too cruel.

Diligently improving one's cultivation is the right path.

"Senior Brother~"

As soon as Li Xuanxiao landed in front of the thatched hut on Silver Sword Peak, he heard a pleasant voice.

"Senior Brother, you're finally back... Ouch!"

Zhao Lu clutched her head and sat down on the ground.

"Senior Brother, you're bullying me again."

"Have you been cultivating properly while I was gone?"

"Of course, I have."

"I smell the scent of not attending to proper business on you."

"How could that be! I've been cultivating diligently." Zhao Lu argued.

Li Xuanxiao flipped his hand and stuffed a pill into Zhao Lu's mouth. "This is a new pill I've refined. If you lie, it will give you foot odor, for life!"

Zhao Lu's expression changed. A little fairy with foot odor!

She couldn't live with herself.

"Have you been cultivating properly or not?"

"I'm sorry, Senior Brother, I was wrong!" Zhao Lu sat on the ground and refused to get up. "Don't give me foot odor, please..."

"You are forbidden to leave your room for half a month!"

After sending his junior sister away, Li Xuanxiao returned to his thatched hut.

He sat in meditation, continuing to digest the cultivation he had gained, unwilling to waste a single second.

His mind couldn't help but drift to Di Nüfeng and Liu Qiushui.

Recalling the experiences of the past few days, although brief, they were enough to be etched in his memory.

He must remember this humiliation!

Li Xuanxiao shook his head again, muttering to himself.

"I wonder... did those two take each other down? Are they dead... If they aren't dead, won't they come looking for me for revenge?"

Li Xuanxiao was naturally not worried about them finding Shushan.

But he couldn't stay in Shushan forever, could he?

He couldn't eat or sleep peacefully!

Thinking of this, Li Xuanxiao suddenly felt terrible.

Ultimately, it was because he was too weak.

If his strength were sufficient, he wouldn't have to worry about these things at all.

And so, half a month later.

As soon as Li Xuanxiao finished his short period of secluded cultivation, he saw a graceful figure standing quietly under the willow tree outside his thatched hut.

She was gently playing with her long, waterfall-like black hair.

She was wearing an exquisite, flowing long dress with a wide hem.

The fabric of the long dress was soft and smooth, gently fluttering with the breeze. The tassels at the hem of the skirt swayed gracefully, shimmering with specks of light.

This long dress perfectly outlined her graceful figure. Her slender waist could be held in one hand, and her long legs were subtly revealed.

It wasn't Su Wan, nor was it his junior sister Zhao Lu.

It was Jiang Luoshui!?

Why was she here?
