This was the first time Su Cheng had joked with Cang Jue since entering this deadly place.
Cang Jue knew that Su Cheng was checking on her condition, but at this moment, she was more worried about her brother-in-law's condition than herself.
After her father passed away, her younger brother became her only family.
Although she hadn't been able to pass the imperial examinations for a long time, at least her younger brother was well-behaved and sensible, and never made her angry.
It's easy to see from the changes in Sucheng that this deadly place is probably much more dangerous than she thought.
No wonder Ling Shan was unwilling to help him. If it were her, she wouldn't have abandoned the people around her and risked coming to such a dangerous place to save someone.
I heard that the Heavenly Dao Pavilion sent three groups of people here to investigate, but only four returned alive, and two of them died not long after.
It wasn't until she saw the hunter that Cang Jue realized that this was something her body couldn't exchange for.
Why are you willing to help me?
"Because you cry all the time, which is annoying. I still prefer the rebellious you."
Su Cheng didn't even glance at Cang Jue; he just grabbed her arm and pulled her forward.
Cang Jue was like a small suitcase at this moment, feeling that his calves were struggling to keep up. If he walked too fast, Su Cheng would lift him up every now and then...
"Thanks."
"You're welcome, it's not free."
As Su Cheng pulled Cang Jue toward the direction indicated by the compass, he cautiously surveyed his surroundings.
The Falling Immortal Ruler floated above his head the entire time, and all the magical treasures remained in a state where they could be used instantly.
This deadly place is obviously much larger than the one I encountered with Chu Youwei last time, which means there are more monsters inside, and there is even a possibility of encountering a very powerful special apostle.
"Su Cheng?" Cang Jue stared blankly at the man who hadn't stopped walking, and spoke without understanding what he meant.
"Um?"
"It's nothing." The man didn't turn around, and she didn't intend to say anything.
Cang Jue was very curious; what were his eyes looking at?
Whenever she met that man's gaze, it felt as if she were standing naked in front of him, despite her fine clothes, she had no secrets.
"Who are you?"
Suzhou.
"I mean, who are you?"
Suzhou.
"Is this something I can't ask?"
"I am Su Cheng, the head of Lingxian Palace, the master of three troublemakers, and a person who only wants to collect sect subsidies and has no intention of making any effort... Su Cheng."
Is that so?
"Yes, what I want is for the people around me to be happy."
Cang Jue remained silent, for he caught a peculiar emotion in Su Cheng's eyes—was it helplessness, or...?
The sharp claws sliced through the air, the tearing sensation and the sound of air being ripped apart seemed to create a hole in space itself.
For some reason, Cang Jue was pulled into Su Cheng's arms like a rag doll.
Warmth and security are feelings that no girl can resist, and Cang Jue has never felt so vulnerable and dependent on others.
Cang Jue understood this as well.
Everything happened so suddenly; it had already happened while she was still in a daze.
The magic array instantly unfolded beneath her feet. Unlike ordinary cultivators who would boldly proclaim the name of their moves, her Sect Leader Su simply kept her eyes fixed on the hunter in front of her, adjusting her position at the same time.
His feet couldn't touch the ground; they were held under his armpits like some kind of object, but he didn't struggle.
To be honest, this is not comfortable, but Cang Jue seems to have no choice.
He clearly stated that he couldn't protect her while fighting.
But even now, he still hasn't abandoned her.
The hunter was two stories tall, but his movements were so light they defied logic!
Su Cheng, wielding the greatsword with one hand, took the monster's attack head-on.
Cang Jue could clearly see that the sharp claws left distinct scratches on the armor formed by the golden phantom.
With a single claw strike, it flipped the two men over and sent them crashing heavily onto the earthen slope.
However, she was held tightly in Su Cheng's arms and was not injured.
How are you?
Su Cheng didn't say anything, got up, grabbed the Cangjue, and distanced himself from the hunter.
This is the first time Cang Jue has been a burden; it truly is the first time.
She was always at the forefront in the past, and she felt that she should be at the forefront. Similarly, no one cared whether she would get hurt.
This is her job; getting injured is inevitable, after all, it's part of her cultivation journey.
But at this moment, she actually felt that being protected... wasn't so bad?
"I can help..."
"Shut up! Can't you see I'm very busy?"
The claws clashed with the greatsword, the shockwave making it impossible for her to open her eyes. Just as she had long understood, she was no match for Su Cheng.
She, an elder of a side peak, was not taken seriously by Lingxian Palace at all.
But often, things don't go as planned.
Although it was ignored, it was placed on the bed...
But then again, it doesn't matter where you put it.
With a swift and powerful attack, the sword formation suppressed the hunter's movements, while the Demon-Suppressing Stele crashed down.
In an instant, smoke filled the surrounding area for hundreds of meters, and Su Cheng pulled away, panting heavily.
"That guy isn't quite dead yet. Saving him is the priority. Let's go."
Cang Jue nodded, but Su Cheng didn't intend to ask for her opinion.
Su Cheng regretted it a little; he should have invited Xu Zhanfeng along!
If Xu Zhanfeng were here, he wouldn't have to be so timid!
Whenever Su Cheng thinks about this, he feels nauseous.
No one wants to be played like a monkey, manipulated and controlled by others.
