Chapter 141 Jealousy Arises
Si Xiaoxiao was kicked out in a disheveled state, not only falling to the ground but also tumbling over several times, looking quite pathetic.
The key point is that Song Chaofeng is staring at her with a surprised look, which makes her feel quite embarrassed. So she quickly sprang to her feet and glanced at Song Chaofeng with her fox-like eyes. "What, never seen a beautiful woman before?"
"A demonic beast!?" Song Chaofeng exclaimed in surprise, staring at the furry creature with a wry smile, "I've never seen one like it before..."
"Kid, watch out or I'll skin you alive!" Feeling looked down upon, Si Xiaoxiao angrily stretched out her hand, pointed at Song Chaofeng, and roared. Only then did she realize that what she was extending was not a hand at all, but a hairy claw.
Not only did it suppress her to the point of being unable to breathe, but it also locked her form.
The thought of Bai Yan's cold eyes made her tremble. She stopped confronting Song Chaofeng and quietly found a place to lick her wounds. She wondered to herself, "If he's so powerful, does following him mean I'll have a better chance of ascending?"
She dared not even dream of Bai Yan's Yuan Dan; she had almost lost her life. Right now, all she could think about was following him respectfully, hoping he could take her with him for a while.
Seeing how fierce she was, even though she was a fox, Song Chaofeng was really curious. He was also very surprised that Si Xiaoxiao had been kicked out. Could it be that she wanted to sneak in and attack Bai Yan?
"Little fox, I advise you not to try anything with that senior inside. Be careful, or you'll get skinned alive," Song Chaofeng warned. Si Xiaoxiao was so angry that she looked up and stared at him intently. She had just suffered a loss; did she not know how powerful the other party was? Did she need a mere cultivator like him to remind her?
Si Xiaoxiao snorted coldly, wanting to make a move, but unable to mobilize her spiritual power, she could only angrily say, "Do you need to remind me?" Then she ignored Song Chaofeng and continued to lick her wounds.
Ever since Tao Tao won her first duel, the rankings have changed. Now she's almost in the top ten and is being closely watched by people from all sects. If she makes it into the top ten, then the Yanhan Sect will once again be at the top.
Therefore, many people began to inquire about Tao Tao's situation. Her cultivation level, magical artifacts, and even the spells she used were all under scrutiny. However, although Tao Tao participated in several martial arts competitions, she did not reveal too much. At present, all that is known is that she is good at using lightning, her magical artifact is a double ring, which is extremely fast and agile.
As for the others, no problems can be seen yet. Of course, the most important thing is the Ice Thunder Sword in Tao Tao's hand. Everyone can clearly feel its power, but they don't know where it comes from.
"Sister, I don't know what's wrong with that Le Taotao. She suddenly appeared recently, and it's obvious that she's aiming for the top ten on the leaderboard. Do you think we might run into her in the end?" Ye Shu said as she handed Ye Lan a cup of tea.
Ye Lan calmly accepted it, her eyes flickering, and she said coldly, "What, are you afraid of running into her?"
"No, it's just that I feel she's standing out too fast. My sister should suppress her a bit, otherwise she probably doesn't know what kind of person she is."
"She's just an ordinary minor cultivator. There's no need to waste time on her. But there's one thing that surprised me: I seem to see the shadow of another person in her."
"Who?"
This inexplicable remark piqued Ye Shu's curiosity. Ye Lan had always been the apple of the Ye family's eye, and rarely would anyone make her care so much.
"Ye Ling".
"Is that the second sister who fell into the abyss hundreds of years ago? But there's no reason for her to still be alive after falling into the abyss. Sister, are you overthinking it?"
Ye Shu was born late and never met Ye Ling. She only heard her father mention her, so her impression of her was very vague.
"I hope I'm just overthinking it. There's no reason for her to still be alive, but if she really has some connection to me, this person absolutely cannot be allowed to live." Mentioning Ye Ling, Ye Lan's eyes flashed with a cold killing intent, showing that she hated Ye Ling very deeply. Actually, it was more like fear than hatred. Although she was unwilling to admit it, Ye Ling's talent was superior to hers.
Just then, a dark figure appeared in the room. Upon seeing Ye Lan and the other person, it knelt on one knee, lowered its head slightly, and its appearance was not visible.
These are Ye Lan's shadow guards, specifically responsible for protection and intelligence gathering.
"How's the investigation going?" Ye Lan asked.
The shadow guard whispered, "There is no such person as Senior Bai in Immortal Spirit Valley. Even the entire Annihilation Frost Sect has not been able to find any information about him. I suspect that he is a rogue cultivator."
"A rogue cultivator reaching this level of cultivation? Impossible, he must have someone sponsoring him."
"Not necessarily. People like this are extremely talented and have a rather aloof personality. They would never be controlled by others."
"Wouldn't that be perfect? Since he doesn't belong to any sect or family, perhaps we could invite him to our Ye family."
"Who is your sister referring to?"
Ye Shu couldn't understand their conversation at all. What kind of senior could Ye Lan take so seriously?
"He is, a very strong senior, but it's a pity that he seems to have a close relationship with Le Taotao. How could someone like her be friends with him!"
When this person was mentioned, Ye Lan showed a rare hint of shyness, but when she thought about Tao Tao's relationship with him, she was filled with jealousy and wished she could kick Tao Tao away and stay by his side.
Seeing Ye Lan's expression, Ye Shu was shocked. She had never seen Ye Lan like this before. Could it be that she had fallen for someone? But if it was a senior, generally speaking, people with extremely high cultivation levels would already have partners, or they would be too old to be a good match for her.
As the future leader of the Ye family, it would be best for her to marry a high-level cultivator. However, Ye Lan is proud and arrogant, and even if someone has high cultivation, they may not be able to catch her eye unless the other person is an exceptional individual in terms of appearance, cultivation, and character.
Do such people really exist?
"Sister, what is this..." Ye Shu opened her mouth, wanting to ask, but didn't know where to begin. Unexpectedly, Ye Lan didn't hold back and told her directly, "If you see him, you will definitely feel the same way I do. But let me make this clear: no one can compete with me for the person I set my sights on."
"Shu'er wouldn't dare. What my sister has set her sights on must be top-notch. How could Shu'er dare to even dream of such a thing?"
Ye Lan's words terrified Ye Shu. She dared not argue with Ye Lan, and even if she was truly moved, she could only swallow her feelings silently. Besides, she hadn't even met the person Ye Lan was talking about, so how could she be sure that she would be moved?
"That would be best, but there are always some people in this world who don't recognize their own limitations, and they really need to be taught a lesson."
At this point, Ye Lan's eyes turned icy, making her look extremely frightening. Ye Shu silently swallowed and asked in a low voice, "Is it... is it Le Taotao?"
Unexpectedly, Ye Lan swept her gaze over with a cold glare. Knowing she had talked too much, Ye Shu quickly shut her mouth.
