To be able to cultivate to the peak of the Battle Warrior Rank at the age of 23, Hua Changyan was definitely an extremely intelligent person.
Almost instantly, she understood what Wang Yi meant.
After bowing slightly to Su Shiya, she explained how Wang Yi had chased away the evil young master that day and how he had removed the “Heaven Imprisoning Finger” on her.
Su Shiya blushed even more when she heard this. There was no need to mention the awkwardness in her heart. She stammered for a long time without saying anything.
In the end, she stomped his feet and went to settle the score with the Silver-Winged Cloud Leopard.
No!
Only then did Hua Changyan realize the abnormality in Wang Yi’s words.
Venerable?
This word could not be used casually. It represented the legendary invincible Connate lifeforms.
Thinking back to the recent rumors about the Connate Venerable who had suddenly appeared in Cang City, a terrifying thought arose in Hua Changyan’s heart.
Could this person be the rumored Venerable of Cang City?
Thinking of this, Hua Changyan subconsciously probed, “Lord Venerable?”
At this moment, Wang Yi was looking at Su Shiya with interest as she ravaged the Silver-Winged Cloud Leopard’s small head. When he suddenly heard Hua Changyan’s voice, he asked without thinking, “What’s the matter?”
Hua Changyan felt her heart contract violently when she heard that. She was stunned on the spot.
She did not think that this Lord was randomly acknowledging her words. After all, when the two of them met last time, this Lord had revealed the strength of a grandmaster.
A being at this level would definitely not joke about the title of Venerable. After all, they respected the title of Venerable more than ordinary people.
In that case, the only possibility was that this lord was really the rumored Venerable.
One had to know that even before she was wanted by the Tianzuo Daoist temple, Hua Changyan was a true peerless prodigy and the youngest peak Battle Warrior-Rank expert. Even so, she was not qualified to meet a Connate-Realm expert.
Now that the invincible being of this domain was right in front of her, Hua Changyan clearly found it difficult to control her emotions.
Without any hesitation, Hua Changyan, who had just stood up, bowed to Wang Yi again and said respectfully, “Hua Changyan greets Lord Venerable and Madam!”
Su Shiya, who already felt a little bad for misunderstanding the other party, threw away the Silver-Winged Cloud Leopard before Wang Yi could speak and ran to Hua Changyan.
Before Hua Changyan could react, Su Shiya helped her to her feet.
Then, she said in embarrassment, “There’s no need to be so polite! No need to be so polite!”
Wang Yi did not know whether to laugh or cry when he saw this. However, he still asked Hua Changyan, “I remember that you must have gone to look for evidence to prove your innocence.”
“It’s only been a few days. Why are you stuck in Cang City and even came to my house?”
Hua Changyan’s expression was slightly bitter when she heard this. She let out a long sigh and slowly recounted her experiences over the past few days.
The story was very melodramatic and realistic. After Wang Yi removed the Heaven Imprisoning Finger seal, Hua Changyan knew that she was weak. If she wanted to find evidence that could prove her innocence, she needed someone to help her.
After making up her mind, Hua Changyan sought help from a Senior Sister with whom she was the closest.
However, she had forgotten that she was only a wanted criminal who was wanted by the Tianzuo Daoist temple for killing her teacher. She was no longer the high and mighty proud daughter of the heavens who was sought after by tens of thousands of people.
It was unknown if her Senior Sister, who was usually the closest to her, was doing this to add insult to injury, mess up her future in Tianzuo Daoist temple, or obtain the secret manual from Tianzuo Daoist temple.
After Hua Changyan came to look for her, the Senior Sister reported her whereabouts to the Tianzuo Daoist temple.
Fortunately, Hua Changyan was quite quick-witted. After sensing that something was wrong, she immediately left.
However, she was delayed for a while. Although she did not get caught on the spot, her whereabouts were exposed. In the end, she was stopped in Cang City.
As for why Hua Changyan would appear in Wang Yi’s villa, it was a complete coincidence.
It was really because the enemy chasing her was too powerful. In her panic, she could not tell what was ahead at all.
Wang Yi glanced at the unconscious people at his feet and couldn’t help but nod slightly. What Hua Changyan said was indeed true.
The weakest of these people had just entered Rank-6, but there was even a grandmaster among them.
To be honest, with these people chasing her, Wang Yi found it unbelievable that Hua Changyan could last so long without being captured by anyone.
After listening to Hua Changyan’s experience, Su Shiya couldn’t help but feel a little teary-eyed. Her heart ached for the woman she had previously regarded as her love rival.
Without thinking too much, Su Shiya placed her hands on Hua Changyan’s waist and said indignantly, “From now on, you’ll stay here. I want to see who dares to be impudent here.”
Tears welled up in Hua Changyan’s eyes when she heard that. This was the only time someone was willing to protect her after she was wanted.
However, when she thought of the endless pursuit she was facing, Hua Changyan hesitated.
She didn’t want to drag innocent people into the whirlpool of her own troubles, especially not people who were willing to help her at a time like this.
Thinking of this, Hua Changyan no longer hesitated. She cupped her fists and said, “Thank you for your kindness, Madam, but…”
Before she could finish speaking, Hua Changyan froze on the spot and turned to look at Wang Yi, who was acting as if nothing had happened.
She was indeed still not used to Wang Yi’s current identity. Halfway through her sentence, she realized something.
The man in front of him looked ordinary, but he was a true Venerable.
To Hua Changyan, this was a huge disaster. However, to him, it could be settled in just a few words.
In fact, there was no need for this person to personally speak. As long as his wishes were made known, no one would dare to pursue her no matter how tempting the reward from the Tianzuo Daoist temple was.
As for the Tianzuo Daoist temple, after knowing what this Lord wanted, they would definitely revoke their arrest warrant for her, it didn’t matter whether they were willing or not.
Meanwhile, Wang Yi couldn’t help but find Hua Changyan’s hesitation interesting. Actually, he could tell that Hua Changyan’s hesitation was because she was afraid of bringing trouble to them.
Given the current situation that Hua Changyan was facing, it was rare for her to consider others.
Since Su Shiya had spoken, Wang Yi naturally had no objections. He nodded slightly and said, “In that case, you can stay. I don’t think anyone will dare to cause trouble at my house.”
Although Wang Yi felt that there should be a reason for Hua Changyan to kill her master, he still continued.
“However, if you really did something like killing your master and betraying the Daoist temple, I will personally end you without anyone else doing anything.”
