Scorned, I Won't Pretend Anymore

Fang Liushui was startled when he heard his junior sister's shout.

Turning to look at his junior sister, Fang Liushui saw that her eyes were sparkling with joy, and the corners of her mouth were turned up, making her look very happy.

"Junior sister, what's wrong with you...?"

Fang Liushui frowned, not understanding what was wrong with his junior sister.

Lin Suyu did not explain, her gaze remaining fixed ahead.

Before long, Fang Hexuan brought Li Yunjing to the two of them.

Fang Liushui looked at Fang Hexuan, deeply shocked.

Only then did he realize that Fang Hexuan was actually at the peak of the Nascent Soul Perfection stage.

In the Mysterious Female Dao Realm, a cultivator at the Nascent Soul Perfection should not be easily provoked.

Especially those cultivators of unknown origin.

Fang Liushui definitely had never met Fang Hexuan, which means that Fang Hexuan was absolutely not one of the Three Truths, Five Gates, or Nine Schools.

This kind of person is not to be trifled with.

"Your Excellency..." Fang Liushui began by asking about Fang Hexuan's background.

But Fang Hexuan ignored Fang Liushui and looked directly at Lin Suyu.

"Long time no see," Fang Hexuan said.

Lin Suyu nodded gently. "It's been a long time. It's been hundreds of years since we last parted."

After the two exchanged greetings, it was Fang Liushui's turn to be dumbfounded.

"Junior sister, is this someone you know?" Fang Liushui looked at his junior sister with surprise.

Lin Suyu looked at her senior brother and said:

"Senior brother, this is a long story, let me explain it to you later. For now, let's bring Hexuan into the White Jade Palace. We can't be impolite."

Fang Liushui felt a pang of anxiety when he heard his junior sister call him by such an intimate name.

Is it like my own cabbage has been eaten by horn?

"Then what should be done about the marriage proposal ceremony?" Fang Liushui couldn't help but ask.

Lin Suyu didn't care at all. "Let's just end it here. I only came here to find him anyway."

Lin Suyu looked at Fang Hexuan.

It was obvious that she intended to hold a marriage contest in order to find Fang Hexuan.

Now that it has been found, there is no need to continue.

Upon hearing this, Fang Liushui felt both helpless and puzzled.

Suddenly ending the marriage selection ceremony will likely anger many people.

But since his junior sister had said so, Fang Liushui had no choice but to comply.

After all, if Fang Liushui pushes his junior sister too far, he won't get away with it.

Left with no other choice, Fang Liushui had to step forward and announce the end of the marriage proposal ceremony.

As expected, this drew dissatisfaction from many cultivators in the square.

Many people travel long distances to come here, only to be forced to declare defeat before even participating. Who can accept that?

Fang Liushui could only try his best to appease these people.

Lin Suyu ignored all of this and led Fang Hexuan into the White Jade Palace.

Li Yunjing benefited from this and followed the two into the White Jade Palace.

Upon arriving at a small courtyard, Lin Suyu asked the two to sit down first.

She then went to fetch the spiritual tea and brewed a cup for each of them.

"Following your method, I successfully cultivated the Hundred Tribulations Lightning Pattern Tea. Would you like to try it?"

As Lin Suyu spoke, her gaze remained fixed on Fang Hexuan.

It seemed that in her eyes, there was no one else but Fang Hexuan.

Li Yunjing felt like a third wheel standing there.

Li Yunjing didn't mind being a third wheel.

I picked up the teacup and took a small sip; a tingling, numbing sensation immediately spread throughout my body.

Li Yunjing felt his body suddenly become much lighter, as if a heavy burden had been lifted.

Even the flow of Law Power within the body became smoother.

"Indeed, the effect is just as described in the rumors; it can refine the physical body."

"Suyu, I never expected you to successfully cultivate the Hundred Tribulations Lightning Pattern Tea." Fang Hexuan put down his teacup and looked at Lin Suyu with a smile.

Lin Suyu's eyes narrowed with laughter.

"It's all thanks to your guidance; otherwise, how could I have cultivated this lost spiritual tea?" Lin Suyu said.

Li Yunjing, standing to the side, also only just realized what was happening.

This Hundred Tribulations Lightning Pattern Tea is actually one of the Spirit Plant that is on the verge of disappearing.

In the Tianyuan Five Provinces, wild Hundred Tribulations Lightning Pattern Tea Tree have completely disappeared.

Currently, there is only one known Hundred Tribulations Lightning Pattern Tea Tree, located in the Heavenly Pasture Palace.

This is a major sect on par with the Immortal Alliance.

Besides refining a cultivator's physical body, the Hundred Tribulations Lightning Pattern Tea Tree...

Another crucial function is to help cultivators adapt to the Lightning Tribulation.

Drinking Hundred Tribulations Lightning Pattern Tea for a long time will make a cultivator's physical body develop resistance to Lightning Tribulation.

This means that cultivators will have a higher chance of surviving Tribulation Transcendence, especially Lightning Tribulation.

This single effect is enough to make the Hundred Tribulations Lightning Pattern Tea worth a fortune.

"Hexuan, where have you been all these years? Why can't I find you?"

At this moment, Lin Suyu suddenly asked a question.

Upon hearing this, Fang Hexuan opened his mouth, hesitating whether or not to reveal the truth.

But before he could make a decision, two beams of rainbow light suddenly descended from the sky.

When the rainbow light faded, two people appeared: one was Fang Liushui, and the other was an old man.

The old man had white hair and beard and was dressed in simple hemp clothing.

Yet its aura is as deep and profound as an abyss.

He has taken a crucial step, and his cultivation level is slightly higher than that of Nascent Soul Perfection at the peak.

However, he did not reach the Spirit Transformation.

This is subject to the Principle of the Mysterious Female Dao Realm.

"Suyu, you're being ridiculous!"

The old man glared at Lin Suyu and gave a low shout.

"Master, how have I been fooling around?" Lin Suyu raised her head.

The old man was furious.

"Do you know how many fellow cultivators you've angered by abruptly ending the marriage selection ceremony?"

The White Jade Palace has poured so much effort and resources into this marriage ceremony, running around tirelessly, and yet you...

By the end, the old man's fingers were trembling slightly, and he was too angry to speak.

Lin Suyu, "Master, the purpose of the marriage selection ceremony was to find me a suitable husband. I have already found one, so what's wrong with ending the ceremony?"

"Found it? Who is it, him, or him!?"

The old man first glanced at Fang Hexuan, then looked at Li Yunjing.

When Li Yunjing saw the old man glancing at him, he immediately shook his head and waved his hands, indicating that it wasn't him.

The old man's gaze shifted and landed on Fang Hexuan.

"That's right, it's him!"

Upon seeing this, Lin Suyu immediately admitted it.

Upon hearing this, the old man immediately scrutinized Fang Hexuan.

"Nascent Soul Perfection, not bad at all..."

As he examined it, the old man thought to himself.

Suddenly, the old man's gaze sharpened.

"Hmph, although he claims to be at the Nascent Soul Perfection, his origins are unknown. How can I allow you to be with someone of such an unknown background!"

"Master..." Lin Suyu frowned immediately upon hearing this.

The old man stopped Lin Suyu from continuing.

"A mere Nascent Soul Perfection is not enough for my White Jade Palace."

This person's origins are unknown, and who knows what his purpose is? For the sake of the White Jade Palace, I cannot agree to this!

At this moment, Fang Hexuan looked at the old man.

"Oh? You don't need that at the Nascent Soul Perfection?"

The old man nodded. "Of course, as one of the nine sects, my White Jade Palace is not lacking in Nascent Soul Perfection the peak of their cultivation."

Although your cultivation is high, you are not worthy of the White Jade Palace's attention. Therefore, please leave.

Fang Hexuan burst out laughing:

"Fine, I originally wanted to get along well with you, but I didn't expect to be met with your contempt."

Since that's the case, I won't pretend anymore. That supposedly Nascent Soul Perfection was just a facade.

As he spoke, Fang Hexuan's aura gradually intensified. Soon, he tore off his disguise, and the aura of Late Spirit Transformation surged forth!
