Hidden beneath the bamboo hat was the delicate, beautiful face of a young girl, one bright enough to illuminate the heavens and the earth.
Her fair, white face shimmered with a crystalline, captivating luster.
Her eyelashes were thick, her eyes were like flawless gemstones, her nose was delicate and upturned, and her lips were like tiny spots of red.
This was indeed a stunningly beautiful face.
This girl, naturally, was Su Jinli.
Jun Xiaoyao glanced at her, feeling only a slight surprise at first, but then his expression returned to normal, his eyes calm and ripple-free.
And without the obstruction of the white veil.
Su Jinli was able to see the man opposite her more clearly.
At this glance, her breathing faltered slightly.
"What kind of divine handsomeness is this?"
"The idols and celebrities of my past life couldn't even compare."
"No, they are simply incomparable."
It even made one feel as if he weren't a real existence, but a character who had walked out of a painting.
As a homebody, Su Jinli was naturally a superficial person who judged by appearances.
She admitted that she was someone who fell in love based on looks.
To her, good looks were justice.
Fortunately, Su Jinli was somewhat reserved, controlling herself and not revealing any infatuated behavior.
Additionally, there was one more thing that puzzled Su Jinli.
She seemed to have a special feeling toward Jun Xiaoyao.
This wasn't anything like love at first sight.
Although Jun Xiaoyao was indeed handsome enough to touch her heart.
That feeling was as if there was something about Jun Xiaoyao that was extremely attractive to her.
It was an instinctive attraction.
"What exactly could it be?"
Su Jinli wondered.
The more she thought about it, the more interested she became in the peerlessly handsome Young Master in white before her.
Moreover, he didn't seem to match the description of the treacherous and evil Sect Leader Fengyue that Fang Heng had spoken of at all.
The way he looked at her didn't reveal the burning desire and possessiveness of other men.
Instead, his eyes were as clear as a limpid river, calm and indifferent, without a trace of Impurities.
It gave one an incredibly comfortable feeling.
"Is this really... the Sect Leader of the Fengyue Ancient Sect?"
Question marks floated in Su Jinli's mind.
In her impression, weren't all Cultivators from places like the Fengyue Sect or the Hehuan Sect supposed to be lecherous and evil-looking?
How could this person, described by Fang Heng as an unforgivable Sect Leader Fengyue,
look like an Immortal in white, untainted by worldly dust?
Su Jinli understood now.
Fang Heng hadn't just played her, he had played her very deeply.
He completely wanted to stir up her emotions, make her feel disgust, and thereby find a way to eliminate this Sect Leader Fengyue.
Just as Su Jinli's thoughts were churning.
Jun Xiaoyao asked in a refined and gentle tone.
"May I ask the young lady's name?"
"My name is Su Jinli."
"I am Jun Xiaoyao."
"Jun Xiaoyao..." Su Jinli murmured the name.
Not only was he good-looking and pleasing to the eye, but his name was also very elegant.
"Miss Su came here because of Fang Heng, what did he want you to do?"
"He wanted me to get rid of you."
Su Jinli said it directly, without any hesitation.
At the same time, she observed Jun Xiaoyao's expression.
Jun Xiaoyao chuckled.
"That is not unexpected."
Su Jinli thought for a moment and said, "May I ask, Young Master Jun, what the actual situation is? I would like to know the truth."
Su Jinli had also noticed the Dragon girl Hai Ruo by Jun Xiaoyao's side earlier.
She didn't feel like she had been forcibly controlled or brainwashed by anyone.
On the contrary, she seemed to be following Jun Xiaoyao willingly.
This also differed from what Fang Heng had said.
Jun Xiaoyao shook his head and smiled, "Actually, in the beginning, it was just a small matter in the Biyun Realm."
"At that time, I didn't even pay much attention to it."
"Who would have thought that later, he would actually use his own fiancée to deal with me..."
Jun Xiaoyao said a few words casually.
He did not add any embellishments.
Because judging by the facts, it was indeed Fang Heng who brought about his own destruction and caused these things.
After listening, Su Jinli appeared thoughtful.
Jun Xiaoyao said calmly, "If Miss Su does not believe me, you can call Hai Ruo over."
"That won't be necessary. Actually, from the beginning, I also had my own schemes against Fang Heng," Su Jinli said.
"Oh?"
Jun Xiaoyao revealed a look of interest.
He had thought that this Su Jinli, like the Dragon girl Hai Ruo before, was instigated and provoked by Fang Heng to deal with him.
After all, a Son of Destiny like Fang Heng would never lack various encounters.
He would always bump into some princess of a country or a Fairy from a major sect.
Then they would stand up for him, seek revenge, and finally join his harem.
Now it seemed that Su Jinli was not such an existence.
And perhaps it was because.
There was something about Jun Xiaoyao that was extremely attractive to Su Jinli.
Therefore, Su Jinli also had an inexplicable affection for Jun Xiaoyao.
Coupled with the fact that Jun Xiaoyao was so handsome, he had simply charmed his way into her heart.
Su Jinli also subconsciously lowered some of her defenses against Jun Xiaoyao.
She briefly explained some of the situation.
But she did not reveal everything.
She only said.
She had left home to travel and search for treasures.
Then she came here and discovered Fang Heng over by the Tidal Illusion Sea.
She felt he seemed to be related to some kind of Opportunity.
So she deliberately staged a play of a hero saving a beauty.
And afterwards, Fang Heng found her and asked her to take action against Jun Xiaoyao.
"I see."
Jun Xiaoyao nodded slightly, understanding now.
In reality, Su Jinli and Fang Heng were just playing each other.
Su Jinli wanted to investigate the Opportunity behind Fang Heng.
And Fang Heng wanted to use Su Jinli's power to eliminate him.
Both sides were using each other.
"Actually, I initially thought that if that Sect Leader Fengyue was truly a treacherous and evil person who harmed women,"
"then getting rid of him along the way, while also obtaining the Opportunity behind Fang Heng, would be a happy ending for everyone."
"But now, I feel that Young Master Jun shouldn't be a bad person."
Su Jinli stared at Jun Xiaoyao's handsome face without blinking.
"Heh... how can good or bad be distinguished so clearly?"
"Miss Su might be overestimating me; I might truly be a bad person."
Jun Xiaoyao smiled nonchalantly.
His handsome, gentle smile made Su Jinli feel as if she were bathing in a spring breeze.
She suddenly felt she couldn't understand Jun Xiaoyao anymore.
What kind of person was he, really?
Su Jinli was extremely curious in her heart.
And for a woman to become curious about a man is not a good thing.
Because the initiative will gradually shift to the man.
Jun Xiaoyao knew that there were some points about Su Jinli that interested him.
For example, that inexplicable, subtle feeling, and a trace of abnormal movement from the Treasure Book.
Jun Xiaoyao wanted to dig deeper.
He felt that this girl, Su Jinli, might bring him quite a surprise.
"Alright then, since things are out in the open, let's eat first. I'm hungry."
Since she had decided not to take action against Jun Xiaoyao, Su Jinli's heart was put at ease.
When a person relaxes, they easily get hungry.
Su Jinli immediately activated her storm-inhaling mode.
Although she was greedy for money and stingy, she was willing to spend money when it came to eating, drinking, and playing.
Plate after plate of delicacies was stuffed into that cherry-like small mouth.
It made one wonder how so much could be stuffed into such a small opening.
Jun Xiaoyao couldn't help but smile, just holding his teacup and drinking tea, without using his chopsticks.
"Mmph... Young Master Jun... why aren't you eating..."
Su Jinli's small mouth was almost full.
"I'm not hungry, please make yourself at home, Miss Su," Jun Xiaoyao said.
When he first met Su Jinli, she was a young girl with an ethereal, elegant, and refined air.
Who would have thought that she would now reveal such a "heroic" side, creating a sense of contrast.
And while eating, the two of them chatted.
During the chat, Jun Xiaoyao keenly noticed.
The way this Su Jinli spoke and her train of thought seemed very different.
It was a bit like the way people from his past life spoke?
"Interesting, could it be..."
Jun Xiaoyao's eyes were deep.
Could that very special, subtle, and indescribable feeling earlier represent...
That this Su Jinli, like him, is a Transmigrator?
Or perhaps, a Fate Nihilist?
Coupled with the abnormal movement of the Treasure Book.
All of this seemed very unusual, and the secret behind it was definitely not that simple.
