Hmph! This Fairy Yun Hua truly was no good person.
Judging by her earlier reaction, even if she had not guessed my true identity, she had likely seen that there was something else behind this Confucian cultivator identity.
Yet under such circumstances, she still chose to push me out and roast me over the fire... She was simply abominable!
With a slight stir of his mind, Su Shi'er immediately cursed inwardly.
He could more or less guess Fairy Yun Hua's intentions.
She was not doing this to sell him out.
Most likely, Zhong Shenxiu's remarks before they came had made her feel as though she had been schemed against.
Yet Zhong Shenxiu's proposal was also exceedingly tempting to her.
Had it been anyone else, they would not have thought much of it.
After all, it was a mutually beneficial arrangement.
But Fairy Yun Hua was not someone who could be judged by ordinary logic.
With displeasure in her heart, finding him some trouble at a time like this was simply far too normal.
Though Su Shi'er cursed inwardly, he also knew this was absolutely not the time to argue or take offense.
No matter how his emotions shifted, his face showed not the slightest trace of abnormality.
Waving the folding fan in his hand, he immediately said with a smile, "Fairy Yun Hua, you flatter me. If we are speaking of it honestly, I am the one who was truly most fortunate.
The reason I was able to clear the Three Trials of Heavenly Ascent so quickly was only because, during my travels in years past, I encountered predicaments similar to the second and third trials.
Thus, when I attempted them this time, I merely had a slight advantage over the other fellow cultivators."
Su Shi'er wore a broad smile.
