After being reborn, the cannon fodder junior sister quickly left the sect.

Chapter 57 No More Hiding

Half an hour later, the four boarded Su Luo's Wind-Riding Boat and headed towards a distant mountain peak. At the summit of that mountain peak was a barrier gate that led to the human realm.

On the way, Chu Wenqing handed over the money he got from selling the protective ring to Su Luo, then excitedly rolled around on the Wind-Riding Boat, touching this and that.

"Wind Chariot, I can ride you again!"

Feng Xiyue was slightly better than him, but he couldn't help but praise Su Luo's Wind Chariot and even asked her how many spirit stones she spent to buy it.

Su Shi told the truth, "Actually, this was a gift from someone else..."

Then, Su Luo briefly recounted how Boss Zhou had crafted the Crimson Flame Spear for her and gifted her a spiritual weapon, which immediately brought tears of envy to the eyes of Chu Wenqing and Feng Xiyue.

Feng Xiyue curiously borrowed the Crimson Flame Spear from Su Luo, touched it, and kept exclaiming, "This is really a wonderful thing! It looks small and easy to carry, but this little magical weapon can shoot out hundreds or even thousands of huge flames. It's really amazing!"

Chu Wenqing also came over to take a look and touch it, confirming that this magical artifact was made in imitation of modern firearms.

"Su Luo, you're amazing! Not only did that shrew make you a magical artifact for free, but he even gave you the Wind-Riding Boat?! My goodness!"

After saying that, Chu Wenqing rushed over with sparkling eyes, about to hug Su Luo's leg, "Big Sister Su, how did you do that? I want to learn from you!"

He went to Boss Zhou to have magical artifacts made, only to be chased by him with an axe. But when Su Luo went to him to have magical artifacts made, not only did she not spend a penny, but she was also given so many magical artifacts as gifts! Why?! Is this the difference between people?!

He's tired of saying the word "envy"!

Seeing Chu Wenqing rush over, Su Luo was startled and didn't react for a moment.

Just then, Lin Ji pulled her behind him and then stepped on the hand in mid-air with a blank expression. A deafening scream of pain immediately rang out on the Wind Chariot.

"Ouch! It hurts! It hurts!!"

Lin Ji seemed to realize then that he had "accidentally" stepped on Chu Wenqing, and quickly withdrew his foot, saying to Chu Wenqing who was in so much pain that tears were about to fall.

"Sorry, I didn't see your hand. Honestly, why did you suddenly reach out? Be careful when there are lots of people around, don't get accidentally hurt..."

Chu Wenqing raised her left hand, which was already red and swollen, and blew on it tearfully. Hearing Lin Ji's sarcastic apology, she was filled with anger.

"Lin Ji! You..."

But when he looked up and met the boy's gaze, he suddenly felt a chill creep up his skin.

Lin Ji stared at him, saying each word clearly, "Chu Wenqing, I'm sorry I stepped on you. But I hope you understand the difference between men and women, and don't touch Su Luo so easily; it's very troubling for her..."

Chu Wenqing was taken aback.

Lin Ji was clearly apologizing to him, but there was a hint of bloodlust in his smile, and the way he stared at him was like that of a wild beast whose territory had been threatened.

In an instant, Chu Wenqing understood the boy's warning to him: he should not get close to Su Luo!

But why? What exactly happened to Lin Ji?

Before this, even when he was jealous, he was just like a small, menacing animal, not aggressive at all. But what happened now? He's acting like a monster whose scales have been touched, baring his sharp fangs at everyone, full of murderous intent.

Could it be!

Chu Wenqing suddenly remembered Lin Ji's previous account of his arrest, his expression changed, and then he showed an understanding look towards Lin Ji.

"You want to protect Su Luo, right? Don't worry, we want to protect Su Luo just like you. I won't hurt her!"

Lin Ji must have been provoked by the villain who kidnapped him! He was worried that Su Luo would be taken away by the Tianyi Sect and that he wouldn't be able to protect her, so he was being overly protective and wouldn't allow anyone to suddenly approach Su Luo!

Chu Wenqing stood up and patted Lin Ji's stiff shoulder. "Don't worry, nothing you're afraid of will happen. I'll protect her with you; after all, we're comrades!"

Don't let Lin Ji's gentle and delicate appearance fool you; his desire to protect Su Luo is stronger than anyone else's. Wow, the power of love is truly amazing!

Lin Ji:......

Listening to Chu Wenqing's nonsensical words, he experienced what it meant to be speechless for the first time, and doubts began to creep into his heart once again.

Is this person... not quite right in the head?

Su Luo and Feng Xiyue stayed to the side, watching the whole farce unfold.

Su Luo was completely confused.

What are those two talking about? I have absolutely no idea!

Feng Xiyue's gaze darted back and forth between Su Luo and Lin Ji, then she chuckled and returned the Crimson Flame Spear to Su Luo.

"Su Luo, I'm really looking forward to the upcoming trip..."

Su Luo: ……

I always felt that Feng Xiyue's words had a hidden meaning!

After a bit of commotion, Su Luo got down to business.

She called Lin Ji and Feng Xiyue over, and then revealed her true colors in front of them, causing their expressions to change slightly.

Feng Xiyue was genuinely surprised.

Because she had seen this face before, in the old man's painting...

Lin Ji was feigning surprise.

Because he has never suffered from amnesia.

However, he did not expect that Su Luo would be willing to reveal her true identity to him. Does this mean that she trusts him more and more?

Thinking of this, the boy lowered his eyelashes, and a faint blush rose on his handsome face.

Su Luo briefly explained her true identity and the reason for hiding it. Chu Wenqing also spoke up to clarify for her, saying that she was really forced into it.

During this time, the two exchanged a glance, then casually looked away.

They had agreed beforehand that they could talk about anything except transmigrating into the book and their past life. Transmigrating into the book and their past life were their absolute bottom line…

Feng Xiyue spoke first, expressing her understanding: "It's understandable. If I were you, I would have done the same. Su Luo, you did the right thing."

Su Luo couldn't help but smile. "It's good that you didn't blame me."

"I won't blame you. You have no obligation to tell me everything, do you? Su Luo, the fact that you've revealed your true identity to me shows your trust in me, and I'm very happy about that."

After Feng Xiyue finished speaking, she lowered her eyelashes again, her voice so soft it was almost inaudible, "On the contrary, I'm afraid I'm not worthy of your trust..."

Because she was also hiding some things from Su Luo, and she couldn't tell Su Luo yet...

Su Luo didn't hear the second half of Qingfeng Xiyue's sentence, and before she could think much about it, her sleeve was gently tugged. When she turned around, she saw Lin Ji.

Lin Ji looked at Su Luo quietly, "Then you're not Luo Su anymore, but Su Luo?"

"Correct."

There was a reason why Su Luo told Lin Ji about her identity.

Since the Tianyi Sect could find her even if she hid her identity, it was pointless for her to hide it anymore, wasn't it? Therefore, regardless of whether Lin Ji regained his memories or not, Su Luo decided not to hide her true identity anymore.

Besides, anyone can use someone else's power to intimidate others. Now that she's invoked the Heavenly Dao, I don't believe that Ancestor Lingya would dare to come looking for her again!

The girl before him had a relaxed expression, with no gloom between her brows and eyes, looking so carefree and at ease. Unlike when she was at Tianyi Sect, she didn't seem to be facing a formidable enemy; and unlike when they first met, her face didn't show any wary or cold expression.

This is the expression Su Luo shows when facing someone she trusts.

Lin Ji leaned closer, his gaze on Su Luo focused and unwavering, as if she were the only person in the world to him.

Then, he smiled and said, "Su Luo, it's a pleasure to meet you. I'm Lin Ji."

Su Luo stared blankly at the boy's unreal, beautiful face. For a moment, her heart skipped a beat.

Just then, Chu Wenqing exclaimed, "We've arrived!"

The others turned to look and saw a door with twinkling lights on the top of the huge mountain in the night. That was the barrier gate leading to the human world.
