Chen Hanhan was crying alone in the corner of a mountain cliff and she was really visibly upset.
It was because she had purposely followed Ji Yuan because she was curious about him and had wanted to apologize to him.
It was true that she had conspired with the other cultivators from her celestial fraternity to lure him into a honey trap before robbing him of all his profound treasures.
She had never expected that Ji Yuan would lie to the others about her black panties.
She muttered softly. "But I am the one that lied to him in the first place…"
Now she felt at a loss because she could not return to her old cultivation group anymore. It was not as though she knew them personally. She had only met them while on the third level. Using her own cunning and wits, she had managed to reach the third level and had hooked with this 'strong' group of cultivators from her own celestial fraternity.
And so they had formed a temporary party together except that they had no intention to clear the trials ahead of them.
Their plan was really simple;
Look for lone gullible victims that look weak and poor before ambushing them to take away their possessions. They had used this simple logic to make sure that they had the right victims.
Also, those that arrived later would usually be weaker than the earlier batches.
So when Ji Yuan had appeared alone and he had appeared with a naïve look as well as looking poor, they knew that they had found a victim to ensnare.
Moreover she had recognized him as from the Desolate Celestial Fraternity. When she saw that he was beardless, she knew that this guy here must have a low esteem for losing his beard and he would be glad for any company.
So she thought that she could make use of his manly vibes to trap him.
But to her surprise, her honey trap had been slightly modified by Ji Yuan who really got her in the end.
In the end even her party would not even handle this poor and beardless cultivator.
She muttered softly." Ji Yuan…"
"Yes? You're looking for me?"
Chen Hanhan was startled by the voice as she quickly looked up and saw that it was a grinning Ji Yuan who was now looking at her as he rubbed his chin at the same time.
"Why are you here?" She was so startled that her voice was stammering.
She quickly wiped away her tears as she tried to show a brave front.
"I heard you calling for me so I am here?" Ji Yuan grinned.
Chen Hanhan: …
He was obviously lying because in order to hear her, he must have been following her…
Chen Hanhan stood up to walk quietly away when Ji Yuan called out to her. "So are you planning to take the trial alone or are you going back to your group?"
Chen Hanhan froze in her tracks before she said quietly. "This is none of your business. You have already known that I am lying to you and that I am out to harm you. So you don't have to be so nice to me…"
"So that is the truth? Huh?" Ling Feiyue had suddenly appeared from beyond the cliff as did Little Princess, Bai Qianfeng, Shui Xisi, Feng Minyue and Mu Wan'Er.
Chen Hanhan was startled by how silently they had appeared as she thought panicky; are these maidens all high level cultivators? I can't even sense their presence…
Ji Yuan laughed. "See! I didn't lie to all of you!"
The maidens on the cliff top were all muttering with great guilt. "We have all wronged Ji Yuan this time…"
Ji Yuan turned to Chen Hanhan with a solemn look before he said quietly. "Why don't you join our party and we will help you to clear this trial? Instead of robbing the others, why don't you try to obtain your own profound treasures?"
Chen Hanhan smiled weakly. "These desolate monsters are not easy to handle. You just want to make use of me and use me as a cannon folder, am I right to say so? Are you taking your revenge on me?"
Ji Yuan took out his saint-step divine sword, flashing it forward before sticking it into the ground.
This caused Chen Hanhan to be stunned by the profound animus of the saintly sword and she had suddenly dropped to the ground as her jelly legs began to give way.
She began to stammer. "This…this is a saintly sword…and you are a peaked great saint…"
When Ji Yuan had flashed his divine sword, he would require a great deal of profound strength to wield the saintly sword and his cultivation realm was pronounced.
Chen Hanhan was completely stunned. The poor cultivator that she had been despising had turned up to be one of the richest cultivators because not even a major celestial cultivation sect would even afford a saintly sword. They can't even afford an immortal-step divine sword and saintly sword is a grade higher.
And this grade higher is not just any grade higher but is like the heavens and the earth.
She could not even afford a earth-step divine sword and there were still heaven-step, celestial-step and many higher grades of divine swords.
All of a sudden she really did not know what to say.
"Do you really think that I will make use of you to clear the obstacles of the trial? I am a great hero in my celestial fraternity and I will help the ladies to clear it." Ji Yuan laughed jovially with great manly vibes.
Am I awesome? He was thinking. I must be so impressive in her eyes for sure…
"Ji Yuan is showing off again…" Bai Qianfeng muttered.
"Yes, he is so lame." Shui Xisi hummed coldly.
"Well, I am not impressed." Little Princess folded her arms.
"He will always show off at the first opportunity, especially in front of the other maidens." Ling Feiyue nodded, clearly unimpressed.
Feng Minyue was laughing softly while Mu Wan'Er was stunned when she saw the saintly divine sword that was in Ji Yuan's hand. "This…is…clearly impossible…"
Ji Yuan was looking awkwardly when his finest moment had suddenly become an awkward moment.
Just as he was thinking how to react to their taunts, Chen Hanhan said quietly. "If I join your party then I hope that you will protect me…"
Ji Yuan returned his attention to Chen Hanhan. "Of course I will. Haha. Trust me."
Chen Hanhan quietly averted her glances as she lowered her head humbly.
Ji Yuan returned a gentle nod to her…
The reason why he was here was because Bai Qianfeng had suddenly said to him. "You should at least go after her. She looks terribly sad. I don't care for your excuses but you should at least take some responsibility."
Ling Feiyue had also said to him. "We are only teasing you. We are not as mean as you think we are. Go after her and see if she needs our help…"
Shui Xisi chuckled. "So whose black panties does this belong to?"
Ji Yuan: …
