After being jilted by the saintess at the beginning, why is she crying?

She bowed her head and clasped her hands respectfully, saying:

"Yes, Supreme Elder."

"Go."

The cool, clear voice rang out softly, then fell silent.

Xiao Fenghuang stood up, turned around, and walked out of the hall.

Her steps were light, yet she could not conceal the turmoil in her heart.

Stepping out of the palace, she took flight on her sword, heading towards the outer gate.

Throughout the journey, she frowned slightly, her mind filled with countless thoughts.

It was highly unusual for the Supreme Elder to suddenly summon an outer disciple.

Could it be...

What trouble has this person gotten into outside?

The Supreme Elder should personally clean up the mess.

Xiao Fenghuang thought about it more and more and felt that it was very likely.

After all, for this reclusive elder to personally intervene, he must have made a huge blunder.

She shook her head, sighing inwardly.

Little one, good luck to you.

Whatever the reason, being targeted by the Supreme Elder is never a good thing.

She took a deep breath, her figure transforming into a streak of light as she swiftly sped towards the outer plaza.

Outer gate square.

The place was still bustling with noise.

Lin Fengmian was being stared at by a group of male cultivators with eyes full of hatred, jealousy, and a desire to devour him, making him extremely uncomfortable.

The feeling was like being a fat sheep being targeted by a pack of hungry wolves, making his hair stand on end.

"Senior brother~ just ignore them~"

Su Zhenzhen took his arm, pressed herself against him, tilted her head up, and smiled innocently.

"They're just jealous of you! Who can blame them when you're so outstanding, senior brother?"

Lin Fengmian's lips twitched, and he gave her a disgruntled look.

excellent?

These people are clearly jealous that they've been entangled with you, this vixen!

He was about to say something when suddenly—

A sharp whooshing sound suddenly rang out!

Lin Fengmian looked up and saw a streak of azure light rushing down from the sky at an astonishing speed!

In the blink of an eye, the streak of light had arrived above the square.

As the light faded, a slender figure was revealed.

It was a woman.

She wore a light blue long dress, had a slender figure, and a beautiful face.

Her dark hair was pulled up high, with a jade hairpin inserted at an angle, which made her already exquisite face even more beautiful and refined.

She hovered in mid-air, her clothes fluttering, her demeanor ethereal, like a fairy stepping out of a painting.

Upon seeing the newcomer, the surrounding disciples erupted in a gasp of surprise!

"It is the Immortal Ruixue of Snow Bamboo Peak, Fairy Xiao Fenghuang!"

"Heavens! Why is Master Ruixue here at the outer sect?!"

"I've heard that this cultivator's cultivation has long since reached the peak of the Core Formation stage, only one step away from the Nascent Soul stage! He usually lives a secluded life, and even inner disciples rarely see him!"

"How did I end up here?!"

Exclamations rose and fell, and all eyes turned to the figure in blue.

Xiao Fenghuang's gaze swept across the crowd below and quickly locked onto Lin Fengmian.

She flashed and landed in front of Lin Fengmian.

Lin Fengmian looked up and saw that the Core Formation cultivator was looking him up and down.

That gaze held a mixture of scrutiny, curiosity, and... sympathy.

Lin Fengmian's heart skipped a beat.

What's going on?

I don't think I've done anything wrong lately, have I?

Xiao Fenghuang's gaze swept over Lin Fengmian for a moment, then he curled his lip and asked:

"So you are Lin Fengmian?"

The sound was crisp, yet carried a condescending tone.

Although Lin Fengmian was puzzled, he dared not be negligent and quickly cupped his hands in greeting:

"It is indeed your disciple. I wonder if you are the true master..."

Before he could finish speaking, Xiao Fenghuang waved his hand, interrupting him:

"Come with me in a moment, the Supreme Elder needs to speak with you."

As soon as the words fell—

The entire room fell silent!

Everyone stared wide-eyed at Xiao Fenghuang in disbelief, then looked at Lin Fengmian.

The Supreme Elder?!

That was the true ruler of the Hehuan Sect, an unparalleled expert in the Nascent Soul stage!

Even true disciples rarely see such a person on ordinary days!

Why would they summon an outer disciple?!

Lin Fengmian was also stunned.

Supreme Elder?

His heart tightened suddenly, and he became alert.

Could it be that I've been too high-profile lately, attracting the attention of some old monsters?

After all, he possessed the Pure Yang Holy Body...

Could it be that the other party has taken a liking to my physique and wants to possess my body?

The more Lin Fengmian thought about it, the more likely it seemed, and his expression immediately turned somewhat unpleasant.

In the world of cultivation, although the act of possessing another's body is despicable, it is secretly quite common.

Especially those old monsters whose lifespan is about to end, they like to possess the bodies of young talents to prolong their own lives.

And his own pure Yang holy body was simply the best target for possession!

Seeing the other party's ugly expression, Xiao Fenghuang understood.

It was indeed quite unusual for the Supreme Elder to suddenly want to meet with an outer disciple.

Anyone in that situation would overthink it.

But she had no choice but to urge him on:

"Let's go, Junior Nephew Lin."

Lin Fengmian gritted his teeth.

Although I don't want to go, the current situation really leaves me with little choice.

If a True Person who has reached the Perfection of Core Formation comes to "invite" him personally, can he refuse?

No.

Just as Lin Fengmian was about to bite the bullet and follow—

A sweet, soft voice suddenly rang out!

"Wait a minute!"

Su Zhenzhen jumped out from beside Lin Fengmian, blocking his way, and looked up at Xiao Fenghuang with her small face.

That usually cheerful little face now held a hint of seriousness.

"Master Xiao, now Senior Brother Lin is my Daoist partner."

She paused, her tone carrying a hint of arrogance:

"Your Hehuan Sect should understand what my Su family means."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Fenghuang raised an eyebrow slightly.

She looked at Su Zhenzhen, hesitated for a moment, and then nodded:

"Alright, I will report this matter truthfully to the Supreme Elder."

Lin Fengmian was delighted upon hearing this.

Did I really stumble upon the Su family's coattails by sheer chance?

The Su family...

What exactly is their background?

It's amazing that even a Core Formation cultivator from the Joyful Union Sect seems somewhat wary of it.

Lin Fengmian's doubts grew, but he also became more certain that Su Zhenzhen's background was far more terrifying than he had imagined.

Xiao Fenghuang looked at Lin Fengmian and spoke again:

"Let's go, Junior Nephew Lin."

Lin Fengmian took a deep breath and nodded.

He knew there was no escaping this trip.

Seeing that he didn't refuse, Su Zhenzhen didn't say anything more, but gently squeezed his palm and whispered:

"Senior brother, be careful."

Lin Fengmian nodded, turned around and followed Xiao Fenghuang into the sky.

Xiao Fenghuang led Lin Fengmian and flew towards the core of the Hehuan Sect.

The two traveled on their swords at an extremely fast speed.

Lin Fengmian was carried along by the other party, so he didn't have to exert himself and had the opportunity to take a good look at the inner sect of the Hehuan Sect.

Below, one could see a continuous range of mountains, with peaks upon peaks.

Six enormous mountain peaks soar into the clouds, majestic and magnificent.

On each mountain peak stands a magnificent palace, its spiritual energy so rich it's almost tangible.
