Primordial Wilderness: I Am Hong Yun, Trading the Saint Position for a Wife at the Start - Section 42

"Someone is trying to pry into my fate?"

The Primordial Sky Measuring Ruler radiated purple light, suppressing Hong Yun's own aura.

Only then did Hong Yun stop feeling as though someone could see right through him!

But in the end, the Primordial Sky Measuring Ruler could only serve as a warning. What if someone intervened with overwhelming strength?

What could he do then?

In an instant, Hong Yun felt that the purple light of the Primordial Sky Measuring Ruler, which had flared up on its own, was already fading.

A faint worry stirred in his heart.

Hong Yun realized that this might be because, from the beginning, he had only refined the treasure in a cursory manner.

When he listened to the Dao for the second time, he had focused only on perfecting the laws he had already mastered.

He had never thought to refine it completely!

And now, he was still thinking about establishing a Daoist abode.

"Looks like I really got carried away. I didn't even think to fully refine the Primordial Sky Measuring Ruler first and increase my strength!"

"Instead, I was thinking about a Daoist abode, about enjoying myself..."

Hong Yun muttered to himself, feeling a little regretful.

Fortunately, the purple light flashed once and then settled down.

The warning from Hong Yun's spiritual intuition also faded.

"Looks like he stopped?"

Only then did Hong Yun let out a long breath!

At the same time, Zhen Yuan Zi saw Hong Yun's expression change dramatically, purple light shining out from his body!

Then Hong Yun immediately withdrew into his soul and sat down to focus.

He knew something might have happened.

There was no time to ask!

The Earth Book instantly expanded, enveloping both Zhen Yuan Zi and Hong Yun.

The two of them entered the Earth Book together!

As for Hongjun, he gave up as soon as his first attempt failed.

It had only been a passing thought. There was no need to force the matter.

At the same time, a trace of regret arose in Hongjun's heart.

"I was too rash!"

In the entire Primordial World, Hongjun was the only Saint. Seeing that Hong Yun had no apparent defenses, he had let his guard down a little.

"Even when a lion pounces on a rabbit, it uses all its strength!"

"With my cultivation, I've become a little too proud..."

Thinking this, Hongjun withdrew.

He naturally wouldn't force his way in. He was a dignified Saint. If he personally made a move against a Great Luo...

That would be beneath a Saint's dignity!

All beneath the Saints were pieces on the board.

What kind of player personally moved against a piece? Wouldn't that only lower his own standing?

No matter how many variables Hong Yun possessed, if he did not become a Saint, it would all come to nothing in the end!

That was what Hongjun thought.

And because he had rashly entertained that thought, his interest had now waned.

He shook his head and chuckled.

The next moment, his figure vanished!

Hongjun had only entertained a passing thought.

Yet it had alarmed Hong Yun.

Hong Yun and Zhen Yuan Zi stayed on guard inside the Earth Book for a long time.

Only after the feeling of being watched had completely disappeared did Hong Yun let out a faint sigh.

Zhen Yuan Zi finally had a chance to ask, and hurriedly said:

"What happened?"

After Hong Yun told Zhen Yuan Zi what had just happened, a hint of hesitation crossed Zhen Yuan Zi's face.

"Surely not?"

"The Saint is entrusted with the Heavenly Dao. Perhaps he was merely inspecting the Primordial Wilderness..."

He didn't think his own Little Brother Hong Yun had done anything that would make Hongjun take an interest in him.

Hong Yun hadn't done anything evil, either.

His karma was simple, and he was completely blameless!

Why would Hongjun need to spy on him in secret?

That was simply Zhen Yuan Zi's nature. Otherwise, Hong Yun had said plenty of outrageous things during all their time together, yet Zhen Yuan Zi had never suspected him.

Hong Yun smiled wryly.

"I wish I were just imagining things..."

But he really wasn't!

How could Hong Yun explain it?

Zhen Yuan Zi smiled and said:

"You're always like this. Ever since we met, you've been jumpy about everything."

Hong Yun couldn't help rolling his eyes at Zhen Yuan Zi.

In the end, wasn't it all because he had become the unfortunate Hong Yun?

Ever since realizing who he was, Hong Yun had felt a constant sense of urgency, as though his life could end at any moment.

So, to Zhen Yuan Zi, he always seemed a little paranoid!

After Hong Yun had given up his seat to Hou Tu and activated the system, he had finally relaxed a little!

He had even started thinking about establishing a Daoist abode and considering where he and Hou Tu would live in the future.

Then this had suddenly happened!

The nerves Hong Yun had just managed to relax tightened once more.

"Ugh, can't I get even a moment to catch my breath?"

Hong Yun sighed inwardly.

Then he thought of the system. Hongjun had spied on him, and the Great Dao Karma System hadn't even helped conceal him!

Terrible review!

Hong Yun immediately called the system in his mind and asked:

"System, can't you shield me from a Saint's probing?"

After Hong Yun called it up, the system replied:

"If the system intervenes, wouldn't that make the Saint even more suspicious?"

Hong Yun thought about it for a moment. That made sense!

The Primordial Sky Measuring Ruler could warn Hong Yun and suppress his own aura.

That would naturally seem normal to Hongjun.

At most, he might wonder how Hong Yun had been so fortunate as to obtain this Merit Supreme Treasure.

But if Hongjun were blocked for no apparent reason...

He would definitely wonder what was behind it.

"Then if you were to face Hongjun directly, could you keep me alive?"
