Along the way, Su Yu kept recalling the great battle with the mutated tiger demon.
During that battle, Su Yu had used the Ultimate Ruin several times, and he had gained some understanding.
Along the way, he hurried along while quietly comprehending.
Occasionally, he would stop and fuse the understanding in his heart into his sword techniques.
A month later, in an ancient forest very close to the Tianyin Continent.
Su Yu held his sword with both hands, his expression solemn. His entire body's aura was completely restrained.
At first glance, it looked like a mortal holding a long sword.
But in an instant, his aura changed abruptly, becoming abnormally swift and fierce. Wisps of sword energy were burrowing out of his pores.
It was as if he was the sword, and the sword was him.
"Ultimate Ruin Sword!" Su Yu swept his sword horizontally.
Suddenly, the whole world darkened, covered by the pitch-black sword shadows. The sun and moon lost their light, and the world lost its color.
At the same time, thousands of sword shadows shuttled back and forth, leaving faint black marks on the whole world.
Those marks were none other than the Power of Nothingness that had seeped through the world.
The power of this sword was more than double that of the past.
Beside him, Mao Susu was tearing off the petals one by one, saying, "He's a bad guy, no, no, no, he's …"
Suddenly, the sky darkened. Mao Susu looked up, and her expression changed. "This guy's sword techniques are getting more terrifying by the day."
She had witnessed with her own eyes that Su Yu's sword techniques were improving day by day.
Until the current terrifying scene.
Faint marks were left in the space. This was already the level that a peak five-crown emperor could achieve.
With this sword technique alone, few people below the peak five-crown emperor could be his match.
Even if it was a peak five-crown emperor who had just entered the peak, he could use his sword techniques to fight them head-on.
Looking at the gradually fading marks in the sky, Su Yu nodded slightly, quite satisfied.
The Ultimate Ruin Style had reached the Lower Class.
If he trained diligently, it would not be difficult for him to reach the Upper Class.
Looking at the Tianyin Continent, which was close at hand, Su Yu put away his sword and returned to the Tianyin Prefecture with Mao Susu.
Inside the mansion.
In a quiet and elegant backyard, Yu Wenqing was admiring flowers with Lie Hongzhen.
"Little Sister Zhen, look at this flower. It isn't tainted by a speck of dust, it's fresh and beautiful. Do you know what I'm thinking of?" Yu Wen Qing gently looked at Lie Hongzhen beside her and said: "I thought of Little Sister Zhen, because she is more beautiful than a flower."
Hearing these words filled with affection, Lie Hongzhen felt repulsed, but he couldn't show it.
After returning for more than half a month, Yu Wen Qing stayed as a guest in the Heavenly Silver Region, visiting Lie Hongzhen every few days.
He tried everything he could to find an opportunity to be close to her.
She knew that Yu Wenqing was trying hard to cultivate the relationship between them.
However, it was really hard for her to have a good impression of him. She only felt grateful.
However, Yu Wen Qing was very patient, and was not anxious in the slightest. Not only did he intentionally create a scene of him and Lie Hongzhen having a good relationship, he also continuously expressed goodwill towards the Heavenly Silver Region Lord, causing the entire Heavenly Silver Region to misunderstand that the two of them were about to get married.
Now, wherever Lie Hongzhen went, he would hear the discussions of the servants.
What was discussed the most was that First Miss was deeply moved by the hero who saved the beauty and was prepared to repay him with her body.
Moreover, her father had even sought out Lie Hongzhen to have a heart-to-heart talk with him twice, and from his words, it was obvious that he had the intention of matchmaking them.
It could be said that Yu Wen Qing had already created an established fact that they were already together.
"Mister Yu Wen, I am a little tired. If you are still in the mood, why don't you let Lie Bo come and accompany you?" Lie Hongzhen said.
Yu Wen Qing apologised elegantly. "I was thoughtless. If Younger Sister Zhen is tired, you can go back and rest."
He knew that Lie Hongzhen was still repulsed by him.
However, with his methods of toying with women, he was already a hundred percent sure that he could win her over.
Now that he had already created an established fact, all he needed was a chance to force her to feel morally remorseful and accept him.
"Hong Hong! Is Hong Hong here? We are back! "
All of a sudden, loud shouts could be heard throughout half of the mansion.
A housekeeper hurried over to report, saying, "First Miss, the cat lady and Su have returned."
"Mao Susu and Su Yu?" Lie Hongzhen was puzzled. "Why are they together? I will go and welcome them. "
Yu Wen Qing was left behind, his eyes gloomy and flickering with deep shock.
Su Yu was still alive?
A hint of panic flashed across his eyes!
Once Su Yu returned, he would surely tell Lie Hongzhen the truth. At that time, the fact that he had harmed Su Yu and stolen the Beast King by impersonating him would be exposed.
With Lie Hongzhen's abhorrence of evil, once he knew the truth, there would be no possibility of anything happening between them.
After all, he was a love expert who had toyed with many women. Yu Wen Qing immediately came up with a plan.
He found Lie Bo.
Knowing that Su Yu had returned, Lie Bo was also very flustered.
Back then, he had abandoned his sister and escaped alone. Only Su Yu knew about this.
If he were to say it …
"What are you panicking about?" Yu Wen Qing said calmly. "Tell me, would Lie Hongzhen and the people of the Tianyin Continent believe you and me, or would they believe an outsider?"
Only then did Lie Bo come to a sudden realization and said, "Yeah, what am I afraid of?"
"Back then, only we were there. The truth we told is the truth. Who would believe his words?" Lie Bo was very confident.
Yu Wen Qing said, "Haha, then let's have a face-to-face confrontation and turn our fabricated story into the truth!"
The two of them hurried to the door.
Mao Susu had left without saying goodbye, suddenly disappearing from the Tianyin Continent. This had become a thorn in the side of the Tianyin Continent Prefecture. If she were to disappear, they would not be able to answer to Luo Yunzhou.
Hearing that she had returned, the important people of the prefecture went to greet her.
Seeing so many people, Yu Wen Qing was even more satisfied.
If more people knew the "truth," then no matter who Su Yu told, no one would believe him in the future.
Mao Susu was surrounded by the crowd, replying sweetly to the crowd.
As for Su Yu, no one was interested.
"Eh, isn't this the Su Yu who abandoned big sister and escaped alone? Why are you back? I thought you had left the Tianyin Continent and would never come back, "Lie Bo said, having seen Yu Wen Qing's look.
What he wanted to do now was to provoke Su Yu, to make him take the initiative to quarrel with them.
In the quarrel, Su Yu would reveal the truth, and Yu Wen Qing would reveal their "truth."
In comparison, who would the crowd believe more?
It would undoubtedly be Yu Wen Qing and Lie Bo.
One side was the Xuanling Prince and the Tianyin Continent's Third Young Master, and the other side was a human of unknown origin.
It was obvious whose truth was more trustworthy.
"Escaped alone?" Su Yu frowned slightly, not quite understanding how he had escaped. Indifferently, he said, "Can you explain it clearly?"
Lie Bo shook his head and sighed. "What did you do yourself, and you need someone else to explain it for you? Don't you feel ashamed that an outsider like me has to say it? "
Su Yu did not say a word, staring at him calmly.
Lie Bo said, "When the mutant tiger demon attacked, you abandoned my sister and escaped alone. Is that true? My sister treated you so well, but when it came to the end, you were a cowardly bandit who only cared about escaping. "
Eh?
Su Yu raised his brows slightly.
He escaped?
If he remembered correctly, Lie Bo had abandoned Lie Hongzhen and escaped alone, hadn't he?
Taking another look at Yu Wen Qing, Su Yu's mind raced, and he vaguely understood what had happened.
He was afraid that not only had he escaped, but even the mutant tiger demon he had captured might have been Yu Wen Qing's doing.
Now, Lie Bo had taken the initiative to invert right and wrong, hoping to incite a quarrel between them, and then reveal the "truth" they had fabricated.
Su Yu immediately understood what they were plotting.
If he retorted, he would be playing right into their hands.
Thinking of this, Su Yu's expression was indifferent. He said nothing and did not respond.
"Eh? That's not right. " Mao Susu's cat ears twitched. "This fellow's speed of escape is terrifying. If he could save Hongzhen, why wouldn't he take her with him?"
She had personally experienced Su Yu's escape speed, which was even more exaggerated than a Half Path Master's.
Was it difficult for such a person to take Lie Hongzhen with him?
Lie Bo said, "Cowards, even if they have the ability to take people with them, it is difficult for them to have the courage to save others in danger. It is not difficult to understand."
He stared at Su Yu and said, "Why do you still have the face to come back? I thought you would hide in the Tianyin Prefecture forever and never show yourself again. "
Hearing his repeated provocations, Su Yu was even more certain of his guess.
It seemed that it was true.
He did not speak again, nor did he explain further. He turned and left the Tianyin Prefecture.
"Wait, where are you going?" Lie Hongzhen called out to Su Yu.
Su Yu turned his head and said, "To where I should go."
The only reason he had stayed in the Tianyin Prefecture was to obtain the entry pass. Since no one believed him, what else could he say?
Seeing that Su Yu did not even intend to take the entry pass, Lie Hongzhen was puzzled.
Did he not know that if she died outside, no one would help her with the entry pass?
Since he could leave so easily, there was no reason for him not to save her, who was unconscious, on the way.
But her younger brother Lie Bo had said it with certainty, repeatedly confirming that Su Yu had abandoned her and fled. What else was there for her to doubt?
She waved her hand, signaling her younger brother and the people in the prefecture to shut up. She said, "If he saves me, it is a favor. If he doesn't, it is his duty. There is nothing to blame."
As she spoke, she took out a glittering golden scroll, which had the seal of the Tianyin Prefecture on it. She passed it to Su Yu and said, "The entry pass has been prepared. Take it."
Su Yu thought for a moment, then took the entry pass.
He deserved it.
He did not say a word of thanks, but merely glanced at Lie Hongzhen and said, "We shall not meet again."
Hearing what sounded like an eternal farewell, and looking at those calm eyes, Lie Hongzhen's heart skipped a beat for some reason.
She recalled the scene when she had first met Su Yu. That calm and composed person … Could he really be the kind of person who would flee in a panic in the face of danger?
But the truth was clear. Perhaps it was just as her younger brother had said. You would never know what kind of choice a coward would make in times of danger.
"Have a safe journey." Lie Hongzhen did not even try to persuade Su Yu to stay.
Given his reputation for abandoning her, Su Yu staying would only make things more awkward for him.
Su Yu nodded indifferently and left silently.
