"No, no, no, it's not like that, little sister, you've misunderstood. He and I are not Dao Partners."

An Ke blushed deeply, stumbling over her words in explanation.

This statement was a bit too much for An Ke to handle.

"Sorry, Senior Sister," Han Yun apologized.

"It's, it's okay."

An Ke was extremely shy, and she glanced at Su Jue out of the corner of her eye, noticing he didn't refute the claim, which made her heart flutter with joy.

Hmph, he was pretending with me that day, and now he's been exposed.

Little Su Jue, I've got you!

Su Jue remained silent, a smile playing on his lips, as he gave Han Yun a meaningful look.

The Empress's flattery seemed to be more pleasing than others.

"Why is Senior Brother looking at me?"

Noticing Su Jue's gaze, Han Yun smiled slightly.

She thought to herself, could it be that this Senior Brother doesn't like flattery?

Su Jue's smile wasn't one of happiness from hearing praise, but rather an intriguing smile of interest.

Especially that last look, it seemed to see right through her.

Han Yun increasingly felt that Su Jue was not simple.

"Nothing."

Su Jue glanced at An Ke beside him.

An Ke watched Su Jue's reaction curiously, and when she noticed his gaze about to fall on her, she quickly turned her head.

By now, her pretty face was already flushed with a rosy hue.

From this angle, Su Jue could clearly see An Ke's reddened ears and trembling eyelashes.

An Ke was already a stunning beauty, with skin fairer than snow and as smooth as jade, making the blush of a young girl easily visible.

Su Jue shook his head with a smile, it seemed this girl's heart was not as calm as it appeared.

But if An Ke knew that the one who said they were a good match was an Empress, would she still be able to remain so calm?

"My name is Su Jue, you can call me Senior Brother Su."

Su Jue realized he hadn't introduced himself to Han Yun yet, so he did.

If possible, Su Jue wanted his Master to take An Ke as a disciple, after all, having a Great Emperor as a disciple was quite prestigious.

If another elder were to take this opportunity, Su Jue would not be happy.

"Yes, Senior Brother Su, my name is Han Yun, you can just call me Han Yun."

Han Yun remembered Su Jue's name, as he was the only one who believed and acknowledged her.

Putting aside her identity as an Empress, she was grateful for his recognition.

Although in her past life Han Yun was a ruthless Nine Nether Demon Emperor, she had principles, and those who treated her well were treated well in return.

Otherwise, if she were truly heartless and untrusting, she wouldn't have been betrayed by those around her.

"My name is An Ke, you can call me Senior Sister An."

An Ke had a good impression of this little girl, her face still flushed with a lingering blush, looking extremely cute.

"Yes, Senior Sister An."

Han Yun smiled confidently inside, although Su Jue wasn't swayed, this Senior Sister beside him was.

Having seen countless situations, Han Yun could easily understand a young girl's thoughts.

To get closer to Senior Brother Su, she had to start with Senior Sister An!

.........

Time passed.

After finishing his tasks, Su Jue saw that An Ke didn't need his help and sat down in a chair, falling asleep.

He slept the entire afternoon.

When An Ke woke him up, he thought it was over.

"Is it over?"

Su Jue stretched lazily and asked.

"No, but a disciple with a supreme-grade perfect talent has appeared!"

An Ke pointed excitedly at the stage, not because of the disciple's supreme-grade perfect talent, but because there was finally a disciple with supreme-grade talent.

The quality this year was really not great, in past Prodigy Tournaments, there would be several with supreme-grade talent.

But this year, looking at the dwindling queue, it seemed there was only this one with supreme-grade talent.

Fortunately, this disciple had a supreme-grade perfect talent, the same level as An Ke, and if recruited by the Sword Sect, would surely become a personal disciple.

Su Jue looked up, and it was a young girl with a sword by her side.

"A sword cultivator?"

Su Jue smiled, it seemed this disciple was destined for the Sword Sect.

"This person, our Repair Heaven Pavilion wants!"

Before An Ke or Su Jue could react, a female cultivator from the Repair Heaven Pavilion, who wasn't wearing a veil, stood up, scanning the area with a hint of arrogance.

As expected, when she spoke, the higher-level sects fell silent, unable to compete.

And those from the middle and lower sects didn't even dare to show interest, they were just there to watch.

"Sorry, but our Hehuan Holy Sect is also interested in this person!"

As soon as she finished speaking, a lazy voice rang out, carrying a seductive allure that was bone-chilling.

Such strong seductive power.

Su Jue's gaze turned to the speaker.

The woman wore a pink dress, exuding an indescribable allure.

Her long hair cascaded down, tied with a simple pink ribbon, and her skin had a faint pink hue, making her incredibly beautiful.

Her phoenix eyes were captivating, her red lips alluring, and she was enchanting.

She was like a budding peony, beautiful but not vulgar, charming yet not gaudy, stunningly beautiful.

Su Jue's attention wasn't on her appearance.

He noticed that when she spoke, there was no fluctuation of spiritual power, it was purely seductive, a natural temptress.

Even her ordinary speech could captivate people, she was truly a bewitching woman.

"No one can take away someone our Repair Heaven Pavilion has set its sights on."

The unveiled female cultivator from the Repair Heaven Pavilion responded firmly, without any courtesy.

"How laughable, what are you, let your master speak to me."

The seductive woman smiled charmingly, giving no face to the name Repair Heaven Pavilion.

The Hehuan Holy Sect also had an Emperor-level expert, making them equal in power to the Repair Heaven Pavilion, with no room for courtesy.

"You demoness! Spreading lies and flaunting yourself, how dare you be so presumptuous?!"

The female cultivator from the Repair Heaven Pavilion sneered.

"Do all you Taoist nuns have such foul mouths?"

"Being so ugly isn't your fault, but flaunting it is~"

The seductive woman laughed lightly, her voice bone-chilling, paired with her stunning beauty, it was truly overwhelming.

"Shut up, demoness, this is not your place to speak!" The female cultivator from the Repair Heaven Pavilion was furious.

"Yue Qinglian, if you don't make your dog shut up, I won't mind letting her stay forever in this beautiful Chaoge City~"

The seductive woman looked at the female cultivator again, a hint of killing intent hidden in her seductive eyes.

"You!"

The female cultivator from the Repair Heaven Pavilion wanted to say more, but was interrupted by an ethereal voice.

"Stand down."

Yue Qinglian's calm eyes turned to the seductive woman, and she said lightly, "Yun Qianling, your tongue is still as sharp as ever."

Yun Qianling gradually put away her smile, her fox-like face turning icy cold: "I can greet anyone with a smile."

"But seeing you, Yue Qinglian, makes me sick."

"I don't know what you're pretending to be, are you a fairy?"

"A laughable fairy at Foundation Establishment Perfection, sounds like a joke."
