The woman was tall and slender. Her white clothes fluttered in the wind, and her black hair fluttered in the wind. She seemed out of place with the beauty of the garden. However, when she looked over, her almond-shaped eyes were cold to the bone. Xiao Lingyu could clearly feel a sense of breathtaking beauty.
"This woman's appearance is not inferior to Miaoying's."
At that moment, all of Xiao Lingyu's attention was attracted. However, after praising in his heart, he suddenly came back to his senses.
The woman had just appeared for less than a breath's time. Like a gust of fragrant wind, she directly bypassed Xiao Lingyu as if she had teleported.
Xiao Lingyu was shocked. He originally thought that the woman was coming for him. In the end, she actually bypassed him. Moreover, her speed was so fast that it exceeded the limits of his perception with his eyes and mind.
If the other party attacked him at this speed, Xiao Lingyu knew that he would not be able to dodge and could only take it head-on. If he did not set up a defense before the other party moved, he was afraid that in an instant, the other party would only need one move to kill him.
"Which scoundrel is spying here?!"
After the woman bypassed him, she let out a delicate shout at the same time. She stretched out a palm and slapped the shadow of a large tree.
In the shadow of the large tree, a figure immediately flew out. In an instant, the figure disappeared like a ghost. Even the woman could only frown and did not give chase. It was unknown whether it was because she could not catch up or because she did not want to.
After the figure left, Xiao Lingyu could no longer feel that someone was spying on him. In his heart, he knew that the figure had been secretly following him.
The figure just now dodged the attack and quickly escaped. The timing was extremely good and the speed was extremely fast. This made Xiao Lingyu a little worried. How could he be targeted by such a powerful figure?
Since he could not figure it out, he decided not to think about it. Sooner or later, the mystery would be revealed. He just had to wait patiently.
After shaking his head, Xiao Lingyu slowly walked out of the garden.
"Fellow Daoist, don't be in a hurry to leave."
Unexpectedly, after taking two steps, he heard a woman call out to him from behind. Xiao Lingyu turned around again.
The woman from just now walked over lightly and said as she walked over, "Fellow Daoist, do you know the person who was hiding in the dark just now?"
Xiao Lingyu shook his head and said, "I don't know."
The woman did not seem surprised at all and continued, "Fellow Daoist, you are being followed by such a strange person. I'm afraid that there will be a lot of trouble in the future."
Xiao Lingyu, on the other hand, said with a calm expression, "How can there be no trouble in cultivation?"
The woman's expression did not change..... Fellow Daoist, I helped you to scare that fellow away................. Fellow Daoist, I helped you, but why did you leave without thanking me?
However, Xiao Lingyu replied, "First of all, Fellow Daoist and I are not familiar with each other. Fellow Daoist helped me for no reason, but I don't think it was necessarily to help me. Second of all, I deliberately lured him here, wanting to lure him to attack or show himself. Fellow Daoist, you scared him away, so why should I hypocritically thank you?"
The woman was a little surprised by Xiao Lingyu's answer, but then she smiled faintly and said, "I didn't help him for no reason. After all, we are from the same sect."
"Same sect?"
Xiao Lingyu was stunned at first, but then he said with relief, "So you are also from the Nan Hua Immortal Sect. I was rude."
With that, Xiao Lingyu even cupped his fists and bowed.
"Junior Brother, you don't have to be so polite. After all, we are a family. Naturally, there are some things that we need to help each other and inform each other," the woman said calmly as she helped him up.
Xiao Lingyu could understand helping each other, but he felt that there was another meaning to that.
"Junior Brother, you must have just joined the Nan Hua Immortal Sect, right?" the woman asked again.
"Yes," Xiao Lingyu answered.
"Junior Brother, who recommended you?" the woman continued to ask.
"No one recommended me. I just happened to meet Senior Brother Qing Pingzi, the Sect Master, and he took me in," Xiao Lingyu answered honestly.
In Xiao Lingyu's opinion, this was not a secret, so it was okay to tell the truth.
Unexpectedly, the seemingly amiable woman suddenly changed her tone and said coldly, "No wonder Junior Brother is so arrogant. It turns out that you have Senior Brother Sect Master backing you up."
Xiao Lingyu frowned again and asked in confusion, "Senior Sister, why do you say that? How am I arrogant?"
The woman sneered and said, "Junior Brother, don't play dumb. You hid your identity and came to the Nan Hua Treasure Pavilion to sell sand crystals. You also tried to make the shopkeeper, Gou Sheng, break the rules and even implicated the city guards. If Senior Brother Sect Master didn't instruct you to do so, then you must have other motives. In front of me, Qing Xuan, Junior Brother, you'd better get straight to the point."
Xiao Lingyu instantly thought of many things. The most important thing was that this female Immortal Emperor named Qing Xuan was probably not on good terms with Qing Pingzi, the Sect Master of the Southeast Immortal Sect, and she must have believed the slanderous words of the shopkeeper named Gou Sheng.
"When I joined the Immortal Sect, I carefully read the rules of the Immortal Sect, but I didn't see any rule that forbade disciples from selling things to our shops. Moreover, I came to the Nan Hua Immortal Sect and the Nan Hua Treasure Pavilion to sell sand crystals without anyone's instruction. I don't have any bad intentions. Senior Sister Qing Xuan, I'm afraid you're thinking too much," Xiao Lingyu replied calmly.
"Junior Brother is still unwilling to speak the truth. That's right, this kind of thing is generally seen through and not spoken out. I just feel that Junior Brother is a newcomer and should not be involved in unnecessary disputes for no reason. Also, it's better not to be used by others." Qing Xuan waved her hand and said with a serious expression.
"Junior Brother is telling the truth. If Senior Sister doesn't believe me, there's nothing I can do," Xiao Lingyu said with a shrug.
"No matter what, Junior Brother, you'd better be careful."
After Qing Xuan finished speaking, she brushed past Xiao Lingyu and disappeared in an instant. All that was left was a fragrance that carried a chill that lingered endlessly at the tip of Xiao Lingyu's nose.
"It seems that I've inadvertently caused trouble again … That Qing Pingzi looks like a Daoist immortal with a kind face. I guess he had a lot of plans for bringing me into the Nan Hua Immortal Sect."
Xiao Lingyu smiled bitterly and walked out of the garden.
Many things had happened in Nan Hua City, and Xiao Lingyu couldn't figure out what was going on. Naturally, he didn't want to stay here any longer, so he left the city.
Nan Hua City was a two-day journey from the Nan Hua Immortal Sect's station. Xiao Lingyu had just flown for a day when he felt that he was being watched again.
"They really won't give up!"
Xiao Lingyu still couldn't find the other party's hiding place, so he stopped and shouted behind him, "Come out!"
After waiting for two breaths, a figure slowly appeared in a cloud about 300 meters away from Xiao Lingyu.
Xiao Lingyu looked over but couldn't see the other party's face clearly. He could only see that the other party was wrapped in a black robe, and the figure flickered in the air. It looked more like an illusion than a real existence.
Xiao Lingyu was an experienced person, and he could see that the other party was acting like this because of the black robe.
What surprised Xiao Lingyu even more was that even though the other party was right in front of him, he couldn't lock onto him with his mind. However, he sensed the aura of a Divine Artifact from the black robe.
The black robe was actually a Divine Artifact!
"May I know why you've been following me?" Xiao Lingyu asked with narrowed eyes.
"I heard that you impersonated me, so I came to take a look," the other party said, and his voice was as fleeting as the figure.
"You must have mistaken me for someone else. I've never impersonated anyone." Xiao Lingyu shook his head and said.
"I heard in the city that you called yourself Great Thief Nie Yu. You were even captured by the city guards and brought into the city guards' camp. After that, I saw you at the entrance of the city guards' camp. Do you still dare to deny this matter?" The person who came said with a cold smile.
"So you're Great Thief Nie Yu."
Xiao Lingyu came to a realization and said, "Someone colluded with the city guards to set me up. They purposely thought that I was you, and then brought me into the city guards' camp."
Nie Yu said, "Since you were set up, why did they let you out?"
Xiao Lingyu smiled and said, "As for how I got out, it has nothing to do with you, right?"
Nie Yu snorted and said, "You're also from the Nan Hua Immortal Sect, right?"
Xiao Lingyu nodded and said, "So what if I am?"
"Haha!"
Nie Yu laughed and said, "You're really funny. You couldn't catch me, but you got someone to impersonate me so that everyone would know that you caught me, Great Thief Nie Yu, and did something to fish for fame."
"This matter really has nothing to do with me." Xiao Lingyu curled his lips and said helplessly.
"If you want to impersonate me, Great Thief Nie Yu, you have to have the ability first. Let me see what you're capable of today!"
After saying that, Nie Yu's figure actually disappeared before Xiao Lingyu's eyes again.
With a thought, the Wings of Speed immediately appeared behind Xiao Lingyu, and then his figure turned into a silver stream of light and flew into the distance.
Although Xiao Lingyu was not someone who was afraid of battle, he did not want to engage in a meaningless battle with others, and he did not want to incur too much enmity with such a special and powerful figure.
Unfortunately, no matter how fast he sped up, he could not shake off his opponent. That aura was tightly locked onto him.
After around 100 breaths had passed, a sharp streak of cold light suddenly swept toward them from the space directly in front of them.
Xiao Lingyu immediately stopped and slapped the cold light with his palm.
A scorching wave of fire gushed out from Xiao Lingyu's palm and instantly burned the cold light into nothingness.
"Divine Fire? Not bad, you do have some tricks up your sleeve! "
Nie Yu's voice came from the void. While it was still rippling in the air, countless sharp cold lights shone from all directions at the same time.
Xiao Lingyu stirred up the Primordial True Fire and enveloped his entire body. His palms were still waving around his body.
