The only player in the world of Shrouding the Heavens

Su Zhe almost got exposed, but luckily he was stubborn enough to keep his mouth shut.

"Actually, if you're willing to let me take responsibility for you, it's not impossible," Su Zhe said with a smile.

"You're dreaming! You think you can stand shoulder to shoulder with me openly and honestly?"

Yao Xi sneered and turned her back to Su Zhe with an arrogant air.

Seeing this, Su Zhe was finally relieved.

His words just now were nothing more than a test; it seems he and Yao Xi are quite in sync.

One doesn't want to take responsibility, and the other doesn't want to be held accountable.

This was exactly what Su Zhe wanted.

"I warn you, once we reach the Northern Region, if you dare mention our relationship in front of others, I will spare no effort to kill you!"

Suddenly, Yao Xi turned around and met Su Zhe's gaze. Her delicate face was full of warning, and even her affectionate phoenix eyes were filled with coldness.

"Don't worry! Absolutely not!"

Su Zhe immediately patted his chest and guaranteed.

Just kidding, if he were to spread rumors everywhere, how would he possibly seduce the many beautiful ladies of Yaochi Holy Land?

"Also! Mind your own business and stay away from philandering, or you'll be hunted down by the entire cultivation world!" Yao Xi coldly reminded Su Zhe.

"Are you worried about me?" Su Zhe asked with a smile, moving closer to Yao Xi, his large hand instinctively reaching for her shoulder.

"I'm afraid you'll implicate me!" Yao Xi said coldly, gently dodging Su Zhe's large hand. "Everyone knows I came to the Northern Region with you. If you commit a crime and are hunted down, I'll be affected too!"

"What a heartless woman..."

Su Zhe pursed his lips.

Yao Xi turned around, glared at Su Zhe, and then turned and left.

Su Zhe was taken aback, not understanding why Yao Xi was running so fast.

Then he saw the palace on the side.

"Is it really necessary? I'm not some lecherous monster!"

Su Zhe curled his lip and said with a dark face.

Su Zhe was among the first batch of cultivators from the younger generation in the Southern Region to arrive in the Northern Region, even earlier than Ji Haoyue and Ji Ziyue.

Therefore, as soon as he arrived, he became the most sought-after prodigy in the Northern Region.

After all, his status as the hope of the younger generation of the Ji family is undeniable, and his background as someone from outside the Ji family makes him an object of envy for the younger generation.

Having only been at the Ji family's residence for three days, several groups of people have already come to visit.

Looking at the pile of visiting cards in front of him, Su Zhe frowned slightly.

"The Yue family... only sent 10,000 catties of elixir, that's far from sincere."

Su Zhe casually tossed one of the visiting cards aside.

"The Chu family sent over a fragmented, powerful cultivation technique? Are you kidding me? Do you think I need that?"

Su Zhe sent out another visiting card.

"Hmm, the Zhou family wants their eldest daughter to be my maid, what a fool..."

Su Zhe subconsciously wanted to throw the visiting card away again, but he suddenly paused and pulled it back.

"Let's take a look first." Su Zhe probed the visiting card with his divine sense and carefully examined the information about the legitimate daughter.

"Her looks are alright, I'd give her an eight out of ten. Although she's not as beautiful as the Holy Maiden of Yao Guang, she's still quite pretty... Never mind, I'm a decent person!"

Su Zhe made an extremely difficult decision: he set the visiting card aside and continued to examine the remaining visiting cards.

The remaining visiting cards were similar, almost all sent by forces that were affiliated with the Ji family, all hoping to get closer to the Ji family through Su Zhe.

"So, what's your decision? Do you have any ideas?"

An elder from the Ji family asked the question.

This elder was a veteran elder of the Ji family, over three hundred years old, but his cultivation was stuck at the peak of the Dragon Transformation stage.

Despite being called an elder, he was actually very cautious and timid. Even when facing Su Zhe, he was extremely respectful and careful, just as if he were facing the Holy Lord of the Ji family.

"I don't have any major thoughts on this," Su Zhe shook his head slightly. "I'm focused on cultivation and have no intention of getting involved in these matters."

"Alright, in that case, I'll let the Holy Maiden Yaoguang go back first."

The elder of the Ji family spoke up.

Su Zhe, who was about to lie down, suddenly stood up. "Wait! You mean Yao Xi is here?"

"Yes, the Holy Maiden of Yao Guang has been waiting for a long time, saying she has important matters to discuss with you," the Ji family elder said.

"Quick, quick, let her in!"

Su Zhe quickly replied.

While the Ji family elders were out giving announcements, Su Zhe looked around and became increasingly dissatisfied with his thatched cottage. So, with a wave of his hand, he replaced the cottage with a magnificent palace.

Yao Xi, the Holy Maiden of Yao Guang, followed the elders of the Ji family into the Ji family's residence. Then, she watched as an ordinary thatched hut suddenly disappeared, replaced by a magnificent palace.

As she walked over, she saw Su Zhe smiling at her, his eyes carrying a strange meaning.

"You two can discuss the matters concerning the younger generation; I'm too old to get involved."

The Ji family elder spoke with a smile, then turned and left, leaving the two with an unremarkable back view.

Almost at the same moment the Ji family elders left, endless holy light suddenly surged from behind Yao Xi, the Holy Maiden of Yao Guang, transforming into a cage that tried to freeze Su Zhe in place.

"What are you doing?" Su Zhe transformed into the void and retreated frantically, directly dodging the cage of holy light.

"What do you think!" Yao Xi asked coldly, "Where's the thatched hut from just now? Why has it suddenly transformed into a palace?"

Seeing this, Su Zhe chuckled, "Wasn't this to welcome you, so we specially converted the thatched hut into a palace?"

As he spoke, he gestured to explain, "Look, to reduce costs, I'm using a disposable palace, formed using Taoist magic. Even if it's destroyed, the cost won't be too high, so it won't be a big loss!"

Su Zhe spoke with a serious expression, but Yao Xi was so angry that she gritted her teeth.

This bastard would have been better off not saying it, because saying it makes it seem too deliberate!

It's as if this palace was built specifically for some purpose!

"What's wrong? Come in quickly!" Su Zhe had already stepped into the palace and, seeing the Holy Maiden Yao Guang still at the door, hurriedly reached out and called out.

"you……"

Yao Xi took a deep breath, forcing herself to calm down, determined not to fall for this bastard's tricks.

"I know what you want to discuss with me must be something important, something that shouldn't be overheard by others, so come quickly!"

Su Zhe knew what to say at this moment.

Even if the other party knows what will happen after entering the palace, as long as he doesn't mention it, it can create a meaningless illusion.

This illusion is meaningless, but it can symbolically maintain psychological defenses at crucial moments, showing that you did not go in voluntarily, but were coerced or induced by the other party.

For example, at this moment, Yao Xi took a deep breath and followed Su Zhe into the palace.

"If this weren't so important, I would have killed you!"

Yao Xi said with a cold face.
