Chapter 309: Chapter 309: Sword Slave? It’s Getting More Interesting! (Second Update)
Lu Xunxue’s face changed upon hearing the words, “Revenge?”
He then scrutinized Xue An for a moment, a flash of cold disdain passing through his eyes.
“Junior Sister Ruyan, I know you bear a deep-seated hatred, but you must not let vengeance blind you and trust others rashly, after all… some people’s intentions are still unknown!”
Lu Xunxue’s words were harsh.
Zhu Ruyan’s face turned pale, as if she wanted to say something.
Xue An waved his hand, signaling Zhu Ruyan not to speak, and then gave Lu Xunxue a faint smile.
“Are you suggesting that I’m harboring ulterior motives?”
“I didn’t say that; I’m just reminding my junior sister to be more careful,” Lu Xunxue said coldly before turning and heading back into the room.
“My lord, my senior sister is not aware of your cultivation level and deeds. She is just worried about me being deceived. Please don’t take her words to heart,” Zhu Ruyan quickly said, fearing that Xue An would get angry over this.
Xue An smiled. Of course, he had no reason to get upset with a woman unfamiliar with the ways of the world.
“Your senior sister certainly seems very concerned about you,” Xue An said lightly.
Zhu Ruyan gave a wry smile.
She and Lu Xunxue had once studied medicine under a highly skilled medical expert. Later, an incident occurred in Zhu Ruyan’s family, and she left Kunlun City.
Meanwhile, Lu Xunxue opened a small medical hall here.
They had a good relationship at the beginning, and Lu Xunxue had always been as enthusiastic as ever upon her return; however, she seemed not as friendly towards Xue An.
In the following days, Xue An stayed at the Jishi Hall.
Lu Xunxue was always cold to him, her gaze upon him like that of one looking at a swindler.
Zhu Ruyan apologized several times, but Xue An merely chuckled it off.
As the time for the trial neared, the main city of Kunlun gradually buzzed with excitement.
Streaks of light would occasionally fly across the sky, clearly the experts coming to participate in the trial.
At such times, many would look up at the sky with yearning, their eyes filled with longing.
For the common people of Kunlun, these Immortals flying to and fro were beings to be admired but beyond reach.
To be accepted into an Immortal Cultivation Sect would be like ascending to heaven in a single step.
Thus, the days when the trial assembly began were the liveliest in Kunlun City.
This time was no exception.
When the day arrived,
Lu Xunxue also got up early, and after grooming and dressing, she said to Zhu Ruyan, “Junior Sister, today is the day of the trial assembly, let’s go watch the excitement together!”
Zhu Ruyan replied with a smile, “Of course, we must go! After all, our lord will also participate in this trial assembly.”
Upon hearing this, Lu Xunxue was slightly stunned, then looked disdainfully at Xue An standing in the distance.
“Junior Sister, this man talks big. Be wary! The trial assembly involves the current masters of the entire Kunlun Realm, including the true disciples of many renowned Sects. What is he in comparison?”
Zhu Ruyan became anxious, “Senior Sister, Lord Xue is extremely formidable. How can you speak so lightly of him…”
Lu Xunxue shook her head and did not continue.
In her eyes, even if this Xue An had some skills, he certainly was not qualified to participate in the trial assembly.
She figured he was just boasting.
Wait until then, I’ll see how you continue to pretend! Lu Xunxue thought to herself.
The trials in Kunlun City were naturally extraordinary, held in the square of the Immortal Palace in the middle of the city.
By the time Lu Xunxue and others arrived, it was already crowded with people.
Now and again, cultivators with impressive auras would descend from the sky, causing the onlookers to exclaim in awe.
At this moment, these exceptional True Disciples, having taken their places in the arena, were also chatting idly.
