Fighting Soul Clan Demoness

Chapter 243 Inner Fire
Xiao Yan?

He. Why is he here?

Hun Ruoruo's beautiful eyes widened, and she stared at the young man who walked slowly out from the corner without blinking, her face full of disbelief.

She knew that this guy must want to find her, but she never expected to meet him here by chance.

If the two of them were meeting at the Mitel family, the imperial palace, or even the Nalan family that the other party disliked the most, Hun Ruoruo would not be so surprised. At most, she would be briefly surprised and then greet them with a smile as usual. She has always been good at controlling her emotions.

But unfortunately, the other party appeared where she least expected it.

This place was the stronghold that he had visited when he joined the Soul Palace. Although it was temporarily abandoned, there was still a trace of soul breath coming from it, which guided Hun Ruoruo's direction and finally brought him here.

Hun Ruoruo realized that she had lost her composure and quickly adjusted her expression. She said in a shy tone with a hint of guilt:
"Third, Third Young Master, long time no see. Why are you waiting for me in a place like this? You're really good at creating chance encounters! Are you angry because I'm avoiding you?"

"."

Seeing Xiao Yan's lips trembling, as if he was about to speak but hesitated, Hun Ruoruo's eyes suddenly flashed with a hint of joy, and continued to coax him:
"Actually, everyone at the conference saw it. You were so powerful that even the Pill King's apprentice was no match for you. You refined a whole furnace of bone-forming pills with danwen patterns, which effectively sealed your victory. It was simply amazing!"

"And, Ruoruo will be attending the awards ceremony tomorrow. Honey, everything's already been prepared. We're absolutely sure you'll be the champion, so we'll keep the wealth within our family, right?"

Xiao Yan stared quietly at the shy and happy girl in front of him, motionless, but without any reaction to her words. Seeing this, Hun Ruoruo pouted secretly and couldn't help but murmur in her heart.

This guy, isn't it just that I don't want to see him for a while, why does he have to put on such a bad face?
"Third Young Master, what's wrong with you?"

Hearing this, Xiao Yan's pupils seemed to flicker, and his face was almost emotionless. Hun Ruoruo was so frightened that she couldn't help but take a small step back.

"How long are you going to lie to me?" Xiao Yan said indifferently, but there was finally some light in his eyes, and the pent-up anger was burning like molten lava.

"I lie to you?"

Hun Ruoruo frowned, confused for a moment, "Bad young master, you must be responsible for what you say. I was just avoiding you, how could I lie to you?"

"Haha. Indeed, if that's the case, then I'll produce the evidence."

Xiao Yan smiled bitterly, then sighed deeply, took out the black bottle filled with soul light from his pocket, and spread it out in the palm of his hand.

Looking at the metal bottle that was squeezed almost to the point of being deformed, with the faintly visible shape of a hand on it, Hun Ruoruo's heart sank, and her eyelids drooped a little.

"Where did you get this thing?"

"Looks familiar, doesn't it?"

"I ask you, where did you get this thing from?"

The girl's delicate face, tinged with gloom, made Xiao Yan's struggling heart finally fall to the bottom. Unspeakable disappointment and pain filled his whole body, causing his breathing to become rapid.

"Sure enough, you know the origin of this thing, right?"

Seeing the other party remain silent, Xiao Yan spoke in a hoarse voice, "After you left, Qing Lin was captured. To save her, I attacked the Mo family and obtained this item. At that time, I knew it must be closely related to the Yunlan Sect."

"But even so, when I found out you became the deputy leader of the Yunlan Sect, I never doubted you even once. I simply thought it was an accident, a coincidence. After all, you've always shown that you care deeply about Qinglin, and you've never hurt me in the slightest. There's absolutely no reason for you to hurt her."

"I don't know when you joined the Yunlan Sect, but as the high-ranking deputy sect leader, it's impossible that you are completely unaware of your subordinates' movements, right?"

Hun Ruoruo clenched her fists. Looking at Xiao Yan's expression, she had vaguely realized that something was wrong. She couldn't help but ask, "Are you saying that you suspect that the Mo family's affairs have something to do with me?" "Haha."

Hearing Hun Ruoruo's words, Xiao Yan was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter. However, his laughter was filled with extreme pain and murderous intent, causing his ordinary face to twist.

"Relationship? I hope it has nothing to do with you!"

"At the time, there were only a few frightened fighting masters left in the Mo Clan. Logically, it was impossible for them to see through Hai Lao and my disguises. However, not only did they recognize my identity, but they also found my Xiao Clan in less than half a month. Such tactics really make me admire them!"

"Xiao family? Did someone attack your father?" Looking at Xiao Yan who was about to burst into anger, Hun Ruoruo's pupils constricted, and she finally realized that something was wrong.

"What else? Hai Lao told me that with you in the Yunlan Sect, the Xiao family doesn't need to worry about retaliation after the three-year agreement."

"But I never expected that before the three-year agreement even began, my Xiao family was almost wiped out by the Yunlan Sect. My father was also abducted and his whereabouts are still unknown. If I don't settle this account with the Yunlan Sect, who should I go to? Who?!"

Xiao Yan's face was ferocious, and he punched the wall beside him fiercely, causing the brick and tile wall to collapse instantly with a loud rumbling sound.

Dust was flying all over the sky. Xiao Yan, whose emotions were temporarily out of control, could no longer control his fighting spirit. The disguise fighting skills that he had cultivated to the point of halfway point became ineffective as he took off the ice silkworm mask, revealing his handsome yet pale face.

In stark contrast to his previous ferocious appearance, the boy's eyes were now red, and his eyeballs were covered with frighteningly dense bloodshot. His eye sockets were slightly sunken, and his mental state was on the verge of collapse.

"."

Hun Ruoruo had heard countless angry scoldings.

Whether she was scolded or cursed, the crying and resentment of the weak would not make her angry, but instead make her feel morbidly happy. She never cared.

What's more, compared to the vicious curses uttered by those people before they died, the words Xiao Yan uttered in anger were not actually insults at all. At most, they were just an emotional release. In her opinion, it was no different from children playing house.

But it was precisely these words that caused Hun Ruoruo's cold and dead heart to suddenly produce extremely violent fluctuations, and even her body began to tremble slightly.

She was angry, really angry.

Not only was I angry, I also felt inexplicably irritated, as if countless tiny thorns were constantly pricking my body, causing both pain and itchiness, which made me feel an inexplicable anger. Even my mind became sensitive, as if it would ignite at the slightest touch.

"So? You're looking for me now just to ask about my relationship with the Yunlan Sect?"

Hun Ruoruo sneered, "Yes, as the deputy sect leader, I am of course inseparable from the Yunlan Sect, so I am just using you. Are you satisfied now?"

"Do not."

Unexpectedly, Xiao Yan did not confront her directly, but shook his head: "Although you are calculating everywhere and claim to be taking advantage of me, every time you find a coincidence, you take all the benefits and never take a cent for yourself."

"I, Xiao Yan, have kept all of this in mind. If I have the ability in the future, I will definitely repay you. If not, I will repay you with my life."

"Repay with your life? Tsk, you suddenly changed your tune now."

Hun Ruoruo smiled contemptuously.
"Where's your temper from before? Where's the tone you used to question me? Xiao Yan, you don't really think I'm someone who's easy to talk to, do you? Yao Lao is already asleep. Even if you've made rapid progress to the Seven Star level as a Great Fighting Master, you're still vulnerable in front of me!"

"I don't care what you want to do. Get out of here before I change my mind. Don't force me to do anything. That won't look good."

Hun Ruoruo's words were like sharp thorns, and every word seemed to cut Xiao Yan all over.
