Am I not a nascent saint demon cultivator?

Chapter 157 Lack of Competitiveness

Swish!

In the sky, the sea of ​​clouds churned, and a streak of light flashed across it, rippling through layers of clouds.

Inside the flowing light was a flying boat. Xu Yun and Wen Siyue stood side by side, taking turns channeling their magical power into it.

Wen Siyue's face was serene, her beautiful eyes looking directly at both of them. Every now and then, waves would sweep over her, billowing her moon-white dress and showing off her exquisite figure, as if she were floating on air, otherworldly.

Xu Yun stood to the side, his divine sense spreading out, constantly alert to his surroundings to prevent a repeat of the previous accident.

However, given how much the Ruohe Wen family values ​​Wen Siyue, they have given her many trump cards and valuable items since learning about the last attack.

The flying boat beneath his feet was clearly no ordinary vessel. Although its grade was unclear, the sense of threat it posed was far greater than that of the flying boat that had previously arrived at the Ruohe Wen family.

It is very likely a second-tier or higher flying boat, which is enough to show how much the Ruohe Wen family values ​​Wen Siyue.

A moment later, the flying boat suddenly descended, breaking through the sea of ​​clouds, and slowly arrived at the edge of a cliff.

Two figures stood with their hands behind their backs on the cliff, seemingly having been waiting for a long time.

One of the men was handsome, tall, and had a sharp, piercing gaze, like an arrogant and proud genius.

That innate noble air seemed to come from a prestigious family; the jade crown in her hair and the jade pendant at her waist both indicated her extraordinary background.

The other was a middle-aged man dressed in a loose robe. He looked ordinary and would be inconspicuous even in a crowd. The two formed a stark contrast, but the aura emanating from them made Xu Yun dare not ignore them.

They were none other than two Foundation Establishment cultivators.

"Fellow Daoist Xu, these two are the fellow Daoists who have taken on this mission."

The flying boat arrived in front of them, and Wen Siyue immediately pointed to the handsome young man with her jade-like fingers and introduced him to Xu Yun: "This is Liu Suhuan, the young master of the Liu family of Qingchuan."

"This is Bai Lingzi, a first-class retainer of the Muyun Merchant Guild."

Wen Siyue pointed to the ordinary-looking middle-aged man and revealed his identity.

Then, she slightly parted her lips towards the two people and pointed to Xu Yun, "This is also a first-class retainer of my Muyun Chamber of Commerce, Xu Yun, who is a fellow traveler on this trip."

"Greetings, Fellow Daoist Xu."

Upon hearing this, Liu Suhuan and Bai Lingzi both raised their eyebrows slightly, looking somewhat surprised. They hadn't expected another Foundation Establishment cultivator to participate in this mission.

However, they didn't say much, but simply returned the greeting with a cupped hand as a sign of politeness.

However, as Liu Suhuan bowed, she looked Xu Yun up and down, a hint of dissatisfaction quietly surfacing in her eyes.

This hint of dissatisfaction was well concealed; if Xu Yun's divine sense hadn't been much stronger than that of an ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator, he wouldn't have been able to detect it.

"Alas, as expected, beauty is a curse. I didn't do anything, yet I was targeted by a fellow practitioner."

Xu Yun's face remained expressionless, but he sighed inwardly. Seeing Liu Suhuan's behavior, he knew that she had long admired Wen Siyue and might even be one of her suitors.

In particular, Liu Suhuan is not only a Foundation Establishment cultivator, but also the young master of the Liu family of Qingchuan. In terms of both strength and status, she is almost the same as Wen Siyue.

Under these circumstances, it's only natural that he would be even more devoted to Wen Siyue and more hostile to any man associated with her.

"Now that we know each other, let's head to the Tianyuan Mine."

As soon as she finished speaking, Wen Siyue reached out towards the flying boat, her lips slightly parted, "Please, everyone, come aboard."

Soon, the three boarded the flying boat. Upon seeing this, Wen Siyue immediately poured all her magical power into it and began to control the flying boat.

Buzz!

The next moment, layers of air waves rippled out from the bottom of the airship and began to rise slowly, hovering in mid-air.

Then, guided by Wen Siyue, it suddenly transformed into a streak of light, soaring into the sky and disappearing in the blink of an eye.

On the flying boat, the four took turns transferring their magical power to the Tianyuan Mine, while remaining vigilant about their surroundings at all times.

However, it seemed that the aura of the four Foundation Establishment cultivators standing together was too terrifying, and even the passing birds and beasts were terrified and quickly retreated.

Not to mention the Tribulation Cultivators, who didn't even dare to glance at them, fearing that being targeted by the four Foundation Establishment cultivators would be tantamount to suicide.

"Fellow Daoist Xu, I have heard many stories about you, and seeing you today, I can confirm that your reputation is well-deserved."

Just as Xu Yun was sitting cross-legged on the wooden board, Liu Suhuan, dressed in gorgeous clothes and exuding a noble air, suddenly walked over with a smile on her face.

"Back then, a traitor appeared in my Liu family, almost causing damage to the Chamber of Commerce. It is said that Fellow Daoist Xu also contributed to suppressing him. Afterwards, he also thwarted the conspiracy of the Azure Water Alliance and even broke through the Foundation Establishment stage, becoming one of our comrades. Every single thing he did was extraordinary."

Liu Suhuan had obviously learned about Xu Yun before, especially the fact that a C-level Venerable had broken through to the Foundation Establishment stage, which was widely known within the Muyun Chamber of Commerce and regarded as a role model.

During this process, many people in the Muyun Chamber of Commerce learned about Xu Yun's deeds, and over time, even without deliberately seeking information, they were able to learn some inside stories.

For example, the fact that they were once suppressed by the Ziyu Zhao family, but these words are rather unpleasant to say, so few people in the Muyun Chamber of Commerce dare to mention them.

"Young Master Liu is too kind. I was just lucky, it's nothing."

Xu Yun slowly stood up, waved his hand, and said nonchalantly, "I hope Young Master Liu will be lenient with me this time. This is my first time on a mission."

"Not at all." Liu Suhuan laughed heartily upon hearing this. "Fellow Daoist Xu is too kind. After all, I've heard that you once rescued Miss Wen, so your strength must be quite remarkable."

Liu Suhuan did not deliberately lower her voice; thanks to her advanced hearing at the Foundation Establishment stage, everyone on the flying ship could hear her.

Wen Siyue remained unmoved, while the plain-looking Bai Lingzi closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep, as if she hadn't heard anything.

Upon hearing this, Xu Yun seemed oblivious to the deeper meaning and smiled, saying, "What happened back then was just a fluke. Miss Wen has considerable resources and astonishing combat power; she didn't need my help at all. It's just that over time, it somehow became this kind of rumor."

Upon hearing this, Liu Suhuan raised an eyebrow and gave Xu Yun a deep look. At the same time, she subtly observed Wen Siyue's movements with her divine sense. Seeing that she remained unmoved, she then chuckled and said, "In any case, with Fellow Daoist Xu here this time, I can feel a little more at ease."

The two then chatted for a few more minutes, as if nothing had happened, before Liu Suhuan went to the other side of the flying boat to calm her mind.

It seems that Siyue truly has no feelings for Xu Yun.

Liu Suhuan murmured to herself, feeling slightly relieved.

In fact, he knew far more about Xu Yun's deeds than that. As Xu Yun broke through to the Foundation Establishment stage, more and more rumors began to circulate.

This includes the fact that Wen Siyue seemed to have fallen for Xu Yun back then.

Therefore, he tested the other party and the final result undoubtedly satisfied him.

"I knew it! Si Yue, the dignified young lady of the Ruohe Wen family, with extraordinary talent and a high status, how could she possibly fall for such an ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator?"

Indeed, in Liu Suhuan's eyes, although Xu Yun was a Foundation Establishment cultivator, he was still ordinary compared to Liu Suhuan, the young master of the Liu family.

Moreover, the other party only reached the Foundation Establishment stage in his fifties, so his potential and foundation should be at a lower-middle level, which is nothing special.

In comparison, Liu Suhuan not only held a high position, but also broke through to the Foundation Establishment stage in her twenties, which would be considered quite good even among some major powers.

Compared to himself, Xu Yun was not competitive at all.
