Chapter 1543: No Need (First Update)
Su Chen was truly speechless, too lazy to explain, and disdained to explain.
He ignored it.
But Xue Hanyue's sneer grew more confident.
She felt she was very clever, yes, she deduced everything from the slightest clues, and now Su Chen had nothing to say, completely exposed.
At the same time, the disdain she felt for Su Chen in her heart decreased a bit because, after all, Su Chen had put in a lot of effort to pursue her. Although his strength was weak, his dedication surprised and intrigued her somewhat.
"It's a pity your strength is just too weak, otherwise, I might have given you a chance to pursue me." Xue Hanyue glanced deeply at Su Chen, thinking in her heart.
At the same time.
In the first level's teleportation hall.
Various low, excited discussions.
"My God! That guy, he's really put in so much effort just to pursue Senior Sister Xue!"
"It's a pity, just as Senior Sister Xue said, no matter how much effort you make, it's useless without strength. That guy is just too weak."
"Senior Sister Xue is really smart, unraveling everything!"
"That guy is going to become famous, tsk tsk, like a toad wanting to eat swan meat, yet putting in so much heart and effort, it's somewhat touching."
"That guy's facial expression never changed from start to finish. He's still standing in front of platform number six, steady, not leaving dejectedly even after being exposed. I really admire him, chasing women requires such thick skin, though he aimed too high, trying to catch Senior Sister Xue's attention. Maybe if he aimed a little lower, he might have succeeded."
...
"Hehe..." The young master standing beside Xue Hanyue, who hadn't spoken until now, smiled with a hint of mockery, then looked Su Chen up and down before softly saying to Xue Hanyue, "Hanyue, every Tom, Dick and Harry dares to pursue you now. Should I help you get rid of him?"
"No need." Xue Hanyue said flatly. To the young master beside her, she felt no aversion, but also no fondness.
Considered a friend, perhaps!
The young master's name was Chen Zong, and his talent for martial cultivation was quite good, although slightly inferior to hers.
However, Chen Zong's strength was very strong, ranking above her on the Xuan ranking.
This was because Chen Zong had quite a background. His mother was the leader or rather the Vein Master of the Xuanyin Sect, so Chen Zong had an astonishing abundance of martial cultivation resources.
Moreover, the Xuanyin Vein Master often personally tutored her son, Chen Zong, so his strength advanced rapidly under such circumstances.
In the Xuanyin Sect, Xue Hanyue was the most remarkably talented disciple, the senior sister. Chen Zong was akin to the Crown Prince of the Xuanyin Sect, with the highest status, the senior brother.
Xue Hanyue ranked ninth on the Xuan ranking, while Chen Zong was eighth.
In the Xuanyin Sect, all disciples believed Xue Hanyue and Chen Zong to be the Golden Boy and Jade Girl.
Even the Xuanyin Vein Master hinted at wishing for his proudest disciple, Xue Hanyue, and his son, Chen Zong, to be together, but Xue Hanyue was too proud!!!
In the deepest part of her heart, she had no fondness for Chen Zong. She wanted a man who could conquer her, which Chen Zong couldn't do. If it weren't for the Xuanyin Vein Master, Chen Zong wouldn't even be her equal, let alone conquer her.
The man she wanted had to at least be able to crush her in talent and strength for martial arts cultivation.
Of course, though she wasn't prepared to end up with Chen Zong, she didn't dislike him much either. Chen Zong's personality was quite good, speaking with a smile that made people feel as if they were bathed in the spring breeze. He wasn't talkative, nor annoying.
Besides, his mother was her master, which was part of the reason.
Therefore, she would tacitly allow Chen Zong to occasionally follow her as a protector.
Why refuse Chen Zong to get rid of Su Chen? Because Xue Hanyue knew Chen Zong quite well.
Although Chen Zong had a good personality, that was only towards herself and those of equal status. For people like Su Chen, a mere Fixed Character Eternal Domain Sixth Layer Realm practitioner, Chen Zong was absolutely ruthless.
Chen Zong handling it meant possibly crippling or even killing Su Chen, and that wasn't something Xue Hanyue wanted to see. Though cold and proud, she wasn't cruel or vicious.
"Okay." Chen Zong nodded, not bothering. Since Xue Hanyue refused, he wouldn't forcefully deal with Su Chen for her.
However, he noted Su Chen down, and as long as Su Chen was a disciple of the Xuanshi Divine Pavilion, he had a thousand and one ways to make Su Chen a dead man anytime.
Hence, he wasn't in a hurry.
Besides, he didn't see Su Chen as a potential rival. A mere Sixth Layer of the Fixed Character Eternal Domain junk? In the Xuanshi Divine Pavilion, you could pull out a hundred people at random, and ninety-nine could instantly kill him. Such a weakling was no threat whatsoever to him.
"Let's not talk about him. Today, I came to the Xuanbao Pavilion for the Dragon Chant Grass, hoping they have it," Xue Hanyue withdrew her gaze, with a hint of worry in her voice, "If even the Xuanbao Pavilion doesn't have it, then the Face Cleansing Pill can't be refined."
"If worse comes to worst, just find some other treasure to give to the Little Princess." Chen Zong fell silent for a moment, then said.
"What treasures wouldn't the Little Princess have? What we see as treasures, perhaps mean nothing to her. But a Face Cleansing Pill might have a bit of appeal," Xue Hanyue sighed.
In a few days, it would be Little Princess Zhao Lingxi's birthday. On her birthday, whoever pleases the Little Princess will surely reap immense benefits.
Xue Hanyue and Chen Zong were qualified to attend the birthday feast, but choosing a suitable gift posed quite a challenge.
As a woman, Xue Hanyue understood women the best. Although the Little Princess was already stunningly beautiful, what woman wouldn't wish to be more beautiful? And consuming a Face Cleansing Pill could make the skin paler, even serving as a minor cleansing effect.
If they could give the Little Princess a Face Cleansing Pill, she would be thrilled.
For this, Xue Hanyue had almost exhausted what she accumulated over a century, spending an astonishing amount to gather over 600 out of 700 types of herbs required to refine the Face Cleansing Pill. The remaining one, Dragon Chant Grass, was the most rare and hard to find, which is why she came to the Xuanbao Pavilion, hoping for a harvest.
"Hanyue, don't worry, the Xuanbao Pavilion will definitely have Dragon Chant Grass," Chen Zong comforted, though in fact, he hadn't prepared a gift himself and was feeling great pressure these days. Luckily, he still had his mother; if worst comes to worst, he could ask her for a treasure. It's not about achieving success, but about avoiding blunders. The Little Princess Zhao Lingxi really is someone you can't afford to mess with!
