"Senior Sister Ruo, there's no need to run anymore. This seems to be the end of the Ancient Forest." The one who spoke was a woman. Lu Xuan vaguely felt that her voice was familiar, but he couldn't remember who she was. However, the following voice allowed Lu Xuan to instantly confirm the identity of the person who spoke.
"Since there's nowhere else to go, I'm not going to leave either. However, I'm very surprised and disappointed. I've always treated you like a sister, but I didn't expect you to join forces with outsiders to attack me." Ruo Xiangyi's voice could be heard clearly, but her voice was slightly weak. She must have been injured before.
Without a doubt, the Senior Sister Ruo that the woman mentioned was Ruo Xiangyi of the Peony Palace. From Ruo Xiangyi's words, it turned out that this woman had joined forces with outsiders to attack him.
After analyzing this result, Lu Xuan was greatly surprised. He didn't expect Ruo Xiangyi to fall into the same situation as him. Moreover, she had coincidentally escaped to the place where he was hiding.
Since they were both in the same predicament, Lu Xuan felt that he should lend a hand. However, he wasn't in a hurry to show himself and continued to listen to the situation.
"Accident?" The woman from before couldn't help but laugh out loud. "What's so surprising about that? You've always been the most dazzling flower of the Peony Palace, while I can only exist behind you and in your shadow. You've taken all the good things. Master dotes on you, and countless genius disciples pursue you. As for me, perhaps they only glance at you from the corner of their eyes. Tell me, is this fair?"
This time, Lu Xuan recognized the woman's identity from her voice. She should be the tallest of the four women behind Ruo Xiangyi. She seemed to be called Zhi Hua or something. Thinking of this, Lu Xuan couldn't help but sigh. Indeed, they only knew Ruo Xiangyi, but they didn't even remember her name. For an ambitious person, this was really unbearable.
Ruo Xiangyi was silent for a moment, then said, "So you want to get rid of me and replace me? However, it seems that you're not the only one who can replace me. Xueqin's talent isn't inferior to yours. "
Zhi Hua snorted lightly and said, "Xueqin is so young, how can she fight with me? In fact, it won't be long before I can replace your position in her heart and only listen to my words. "
Ruo Xiangyi no longer talked to Zhi Hua. She turned to the person next to her and said, "Xiang Tao, what about you? Why did you choose to join forces with her to deal with me? You've always seemed to covet me, so you shouldn't have done this. "
Hearing this, Lu Xuan couldn't help but be surprised. He didn't expect that the person who would join hands with Zhi Hua to deal with Ruo Xiangyi was actually Xiang Tao, who had always been drooling over her. Not to mention Ruo Xiangyi being surprised, even Lu Xuan felt that it was somewhat inconceivable.
Xiang Tao laughed lightly, "If you were willing to accept my pursuit, I naturally wouldn't go against you. Unfortunately, Zhi Hua told me a secret and made me completely give up on this idea. In order to consolidate my position in the Extreme Monarch Sect, I must find a strong external aid. If I get rid of you and let Zhi Hua take over your position, then I will have a marriage partner who will soon become the successor of the Peony Palace Master. Isn't that wonderful?"
"What secret?" Ruo Xiangyi's breathing became a bit heavy. It was obvious that she had guessed a little.
Zhi Hua also laughed and unscrupulously exposed Ruo Xiangyi's secret in front of her, "I'm afraid that none of the male disciples who pursue you would have thought that the dignified Ruo Xiangyi of the North and South Prides, the one who has played countless men in circles, the one who is regarded as a beauty by them, actually doesn't like men, but women!"
"You shut up!" Ruo Xiangyi shouted angrily. Her biggest secret had been directly exposed by Zhi Hua. She felt as if she was naked and no longer had any secrets to hide.
"What, you still don't allow others to say it?" Zhi Hua raised her eyebrows and said, "I'm afraid that the Palace Master is also having a headache because of your special hobby. Logically speaking, you should have already chosen a strong marriage partner to increase the strength of the Peony Palace. But unfortunately, you have never made a choice. How many marriages has the Palace Master rejected for you? Don't you feel ashamed? Because of you alone, you have affected the development of the sect. "
Lu Xuan was utterly shocked as he listened to the conversation between the three outside. He was even more shocked than when he found out that Ruo Xiangyi was being hunted down by a junior sister from the same sect. "Oh my, Ruo Xiangyi actually likes women? This is … the legendary homosexuality?
Lu Xuan's mind couldn't help but think of Ruo Xiangyi's enchanting figure and her appearance that was not inferior to Zhao Binger's. It was enough to move the hearts of all men. He really found it hard to believe that Ruo Xiangyi didn't like men. This was really … a great loss for men.
He now understood why Zhi Hua was able to persuade Xiang Tao to help her deal with Ruo Xiangyi. Xiang Tao obviously knew that it was impossible for him to obtain Ruo Xiangyi. Speaking of which, Zhi Hua was also quite beautiful. First, he supported Zhi Hua to Ruo Xiangyi's position, and then he married Zhi Hua. The result seemed to be no worse than directly obtaining Ruo Xiangyi.
"How did you know?" Ruo Xiangyi asked with an ugly expression. She didn't know how many people knew this secret.
"Senior Sister Ruo, don't worry. I won't casually spread this kind of big secret. As for me, I just accidentally overheard your conversation with the Palace Master." Zhi Hua seemed to be very happy to see Ruo Xiangyi's current expression.
"Zhi Hua, let's not talk nonsense. It's more important to get down to business. Be careful not to cause unnecessary trouble." Xiang Tao reminded her. He was still a little worried. After all, once the matter was exposed, the Extreme Monarch Sect would definitely abandon him in order to not anger the Peony Palace.
Zhi Hua looked at Xiang Tao with some dissatisfaction and said, "I've never had the chance to talk to Senior Sister Ruo like this before."
"After this matter is settled, you can replace her position. Why care about this little bit of prestige now?"
Zhi Hua thought about it. This was indeed the case. However, no matter how impressive it was, it couldn't compare to seeing Ruo Xiangyi, who used to be like a phoenix, reduced to such a state.
"Senior Sister Ruo, do you choose to commit suicide? Or do you want us to do it ourselves? " Zhi Hua's words revealed a cold aura. It was obvious that she had the intention to kill. In fact, they had chased Ruo Xiangyi for so long to kill her.
"If it weren't for your sneak attack, how could I be afraid of the two of you? However, if you want my life, I'm afraid it won't be that easy." Ruo Xiangyi finally displayed the demeanor of a strong cultivator. Indeed, as she said, if it weren't for Zhi Hua and Xiang Tao's sudden sneak attack, causing her to be seriously injured, she wouldn't have been afraid of them at all.
"Hmph, you're really overestimating yourself. Your Dantian is injured, so you can only use half of your strength. What do you have to fight against us?" Zhi Hua seemed a little disdainful. She then looked at Xiang Tao and said, "If you're interested, after we subdue her later, I can let you have a taste of her. This is something that countless men dream of."
Zhi Hua was deliberately trying to disgust Ruo Xiangyi. Even if Ruo Xiangyi was indeed seriously injured, she still didn't dare to be too careless. On the other hand, Xiang Tao was quite moved. This was Ruo Xiangyi! How many people couldn't even get close to her? Now, he actually had the chance to get close to her? He didn't even need to get close to her. He felt that as long as he could take off the veil on Ruo Xiangyi's face and see her true appearance, this trip would be worth it.
"Hmph, smelly man!" Looking at Xiang Tao's lecherous appearance, Zhi Hua couldn't help but fiercely kick his butt. She had already promised him that she would marry him after the matter was completed, but she didn't expect him to still dare to act like this in front of her.
Xiang Tao was kicked back to reality. He immediately put away his thoughts and said, "Business is more important. Moreover, with you around, why would I care about Ruo Xiangyi?"
Zhi Hua was reluctantly satisfied with Xiang Tao's answer. Just when Zhi Hua was about to join forces with Xiang Tao to attack, a familiar voice sounded.
"I say, everyone, what a coincidence. I didn't expect to meet you here." Lu Xuan leisurely walked out of his hiding place with a smile on his face as he greeted the three people. It was as if he had met them by chance on the street. He didn't care about the hostile atmosphere at all.
"Lu Xuan!"
The three people shouted almost at the same time. The difference was that Ruo Xiangyi's voice contained a trace of pleasant surprise, while Zhi Hua and Xiang Tao's voices only contained shock.
For Ruo Xiangyi, Lu Xuan's sudden appearance at this time was really too good. Although she didn't know whether Lu Xuan was a friend or a foe, at least he could turn the situation around. It was better than following the script written by Xiang Tao and Zhi Hua.
"You heard everything?" Xiang Tao's complexion was somewhat unsightly as he asked Lu Xuan. What he was most worried about had finally happened, and that was, their plan had been discovered. He thought that this was the edge of the Ancient Forest and that there was no one around, so it was impossible for them to be discovered. However, he didn't expect that Lu Xuan was actually hiding in a cave and had even used an illusion formation to conceal himself.
Lu Xuan smiled and said, "I heard everything that should be heard, and everything that shouldn't be heard."
"Join us. After the matter is completed, we will definitely reward you handsomely! Now that you have something on us, you don't have to worry about us reneging on our debt. " At this critical moment, it was still men who were reliable. Zhi Hua had long been frightened by Lu Xuan's sudden appearance and had lost her sense of propriety, but Xiang Tao still knew to rope in Lu Xuan.
"Lu Xuan, help me. If I can leave this place, the Peony Palace will definitely be your most loyal ally. In the future, if you want to deal with Leng Qingqiu, I can also help." Ruo Xiangyi also offered conditions to rope in Lu Xuan. Right now, Lu Xuan was the only variable. Whoever could rope him in, the situation would completely tilt towards that side.
"Ruo Xiangyi's words may not be trustworthy, but if you choose to stand by and do nothing, you will be able to hold something on us. You will certainly be more reliable than Ruo Xiangyi. In the future, Zhi Hua and I may sit at the highest positions in the Extreme Monarch Sect and the Peony Palace. Compared to Ruo Xiangyi's current promise, it is more trustworthy." Xiang Tao spoke with emotion and reason.
"Oh … it seems that what you said makes sense." Lu Xuan thought for a moment and nodded.
Hearing this, Xiang Tao was overjoyed, but Ruo Xiangyi's complexion suddenly became unsightly.
