Hua Jingyun followed silently behind him, pondering how to test the waters.

"Master!"

Su Chen: !

Hearing the familiar voice, Su Chen almost answered.

Good lad, sneak attack!

Su Chen never expected Hua Jingyun to pull such a trick on him. If he hadn't been alert enough, he would have been fooled.

"no response?"

Hua Jingyun kept a close eye on Su Chen's reaction.

If he really is the master, he will most likely make a subconscious action.

Unfortunately, Su Chen seemed to have no reaction at all.

Either he isn't the master, or he's deliberately pretending.

If it's the latter, then that's truly heartbreaking!

For Hua Jingyun, the problem before was having no one to suspect.

Now that we have a target, all that remains is to distinguish between them, whether they are the target or not.

For her, the difficulty level dropped dramatically!

However, Su Chen inexplicably felt a cold wind brush past him...

Chapter 113 Master, why don't you want to acknowledge me as your master?

Su Chen quickly noticed something was wrong. Hua Jingyun, who had previously been like a mannequin, only following him around, began to talk to him frequently.

Moreover, they always slip in their own biases, occasionally using words that only the two of them would know.

Su Chen had reason to suspect that the Spirit Tower had sold him out.

As Su Chen had predicted, the Lantern Festival proceeded as scheduled.

The gloom of the massacre seemed to have been somewhat diluted by the grand festive atmosphere.

The Xin family's shop was unusually busy, and Xin Shuo was constantly on the go.

Su Chen wanted to go out with him, but she couldn't find a chance to interrupt.

"Lantern Festival..."

This didn't exist in the capital city more than 20 years ago.

Su Chen made a choice in the game back then, but now it has become a custom for more than ten years.

"It's a bit boring with no one around."

Su Chen looked around, completely ignoring Hua Jingyun behind him.

She either remains completely silent or utters startling remarks.

Su Chen was now a little afraid that Hua Jingyun would speak.

After all, every time she speaks, she gets straight to the point.

If he hadn't reacted quickly enough, he would have been exposed long ago.

Hua Jingyun remained silent, staring intently at Su Chen.

Lingta has been excited for several days and seems likely to remain so.

Its origin lies with Su Chen.

Hua Jingyun tried to communicate with the spirit tower, but the spirit couldn't explain anything, as if it had been given a gag order. It could only describe the characteristics but couldn't give an accurate answer.

However, this was enough for Hua Jingyun!

"Master, what are you hiding from?"

Why do you know who I am and why I came here?

Why won't you acknowledge me?

Hua Jingyun has been thinking about this question.

Once she finds direction, she progresses rapidly.

Even the most difficult path of the soul, Hua Jingyun was able to master.

Su Chen's supposedly flawless plan was already riddled with flaws in front of her.

Su Chen could naturally deny it outright, but the details he had gathered were gradually confirming that the man in front of him was the reincarnation of his master's soul, whom he had been searching for for so long.

"Back then, Master's soul did not completely dissipate. Could it be that it merged with the sect leader's soul?"

Or did something else happen along the way?

There was a layer of force blocking Su Chen's soul, preventing Hua Jingyun from thoroughly investigating it.

Right now, she doesn't want to disturb her master, so she can only try things out indirectly.

If the soul is not pure, there will be many hidden dangers.

The spirit's ability to express itself is worrisome; Hua Jingyun can only guess at many things.

This will slow down the verification process.

"If the leader's soul remains, we must find a way to extract it."

Or simply seize it.

My former master perished along with the cult leader.

If Su Chen in front of him is confirmed to be his master, then the sect leader will either be reincarnated as well, or his soul will merge with Su Chen's.

These actions were nothing special for Hua Jingyun in the past.

But now, the upper limit of strength is locked at the Qi Refining Perfection stage.

Hua Jingyun is prone to making mistakes when it comes to things that are too meticulous.

If things really come to the point of separating the soul, it will be extremely difficult for Hua Jingyun.

Let's continue to observe.

Maybe I'm just overthinking it?

Hua Jingyun looked at Su Chen, whose state did not seem to be in symbiosis with the cult leader's soul at all.

That's the master she remembered.

If only we could figure out what that barrier outside the soul is.

Hua Jingyun would have a better chance of success.

Su Chen, who was still happily strolling around, had no idea that his underwear was about to be pulled down.

If it weren't for the obstruction of the Immortal and Demon Realms, Su Chen would probably have already been carried away by Hua Jingyun to study his soul.

"Su Chen, my young lady requests your presence."

I would like to invite you to dinner.

Suddenly, Jin Bufan blocked Su Chen's path.

They simply handed out an invitation.

Su Chen pretended not to see him and walked right past Jin Bufan.

Hua Jingyun alone is enough of a headache for him; if Jiang Li comes along, wouldn't that be even more of a headache?

Moreover, the clash between the two women in the middle of the lake is still vivid in my mind.

If something unexpected happens and the two of them start fighting again, who in the entire capital city could stop them?

These two are truly accomplished Qi Refining cultivators at their peak.

Even a practical expert like Jin Bufan would find it difficult to get involved.

These things were too troublesome to even think about, so Su Chen simply pretended not to see them.

Not going is the best choice!

Jin Bufan wouldn't give Su Chen a choice; he immediately stopped Su Chen again.

"Please, young master, come to the mansion."

If you don't come, the guards will come again to invite you.

Are you threatening me?

"Hua Jingyun, he bullied me!"

Su Chen, acting like a rogue, turned to Hua Jingyun and said.

During this time, he also noticed that Hua Jingyun seemed very concerned about his safety.

That wasn't based on the fact that he was the master; it was more like protecting an object.

But no matter what, he now has Hua Jingyun's bodyguard!

"What about people?"

Su Chen turned around, but there was no one behind him; Hua Jingyun was nowhere to be seen.

When he turned around again, the invitation in Jin Bufan's hand had already been stuffed into his hand.

Looking at the invitation in his hand, which was of extremely high quality in terms of workmanship and materials, Su Chen sighed inwardly.

What's meant to happen will happen.

Given Jin Bufan's attitude just now, if I don't go, a large number of Feather Guards will probably come.

However, it is more likely that Jiang Li will come to invite him in person!

If things really come to that, Su Chen will have to go, whether he likes it or not!

"Sigh, I shouldn't have hesitated back then. I should have just left the city overnight."
