Zhenru felt that Lei Wuxin had his own very rigid and inflexible way of thinking, and didn't intend to get entangled with him, so she interrupted him bluntly:
"If I were to die without your help, it means that fate didn't really want to choose me. It's a good thing that we can choose again and let your people take my place."
After saying that, he patted Lei Wuxin on the shoulder, led him to the side, and then said goodbye to the other friends one by one.
The others originally thought that since they were all going out to train anyway, they might as well team up with Zhenru.
Seeing her resolute attitude towards Lei Wuxin, they knew that they probably couldn't get involved in this matter, so they didn't want to slow down Zhenru's progress and stopped mentioning forming a team.
Although no team was formed, Zhenru received a lot of care from her friends, and everyone gave her something they felt would be helpful to her.
Zhenru did not refuse, but simply returned the gift accordingly.
She didn't show favoritism and gave one to Lei Wuxin as well.
However, Lei Wuxin didn't take it. He only glanced at it and still didn't give up, saying to Zhenru:
"I don't need the things, but I still have to follow you."
The others couldn't stand it, and none of them knew Lei Wuxin well; in fact, before the cultivation competition, no one knew who he was.
Seeing that Zhenru was already frowning, but this person insisted on following, they all felt that there was something wrong with him. After all, although Zhenru did not say it outright, they all had a good idea of what he was going to do.
"Fellow Daoist Lei, is it true that Fellow Daoist Zhenru..."
Jianxing was used to doing these things and was highly respected by the younger disciples in the Tai Xuan Sect. Seeing that others looked unhappy, he wanted to take the initiative to persuade them.
Before Jian Xing could finish speaking, Lei Wuxin interrupted him with a sharp look:
"None of your business."
After speaking, disregarding Jian Xing's unpleasant expression, she turned her gaze directly to Zhenru, her expression unwavering.
Zhenru also got angry. Her furrowed brows relaxed, and she looked at Lei Wuxin with a lazy air.
"If you insist on following, then follow, as long as you can keep up."
The word "up" had barely left their lips when everyone saw that Zhenru was still standing right in front of them, yet her aura had vanished into thin air.
Lei Wuxin frowned, reacting first, and then vanished in a flash.
Just as she stood, because of the afterimage she left behind due to her excessive speed, it was blown away in one direction by the wind that Lei Wuxin left.
"Such speed!"
"It seems like Zhenru is really not on the same level as us!"
This was Feng Piaopiao's sigh, and it was also the sentiment in the hearts of several people.
Although their cultivation levels were not significantly different, when it came to a true test of skill, it became clear that there was a significant gap between Zhenru and them.
Each of them felt a different sense of loss, so no one spoke, and the whole scene was unusually quiet.
After a while, True Man Mingxin... no, he should be called True Lord Mingxin now, looking in the direction Zhenru had left, and said with a smile:
"They are definitely not on the same level, and the responsibilities they bear are even more so."
"Being able to cultivate freely according to one's own will and obtain powerful opportunities, but at the cost of bearing certain responsibilities, I still prefer the former."
Feng Piaopiao's casual howl, upon hearing what True Monarch Mingxin said, immediately became very open-minded and nodded in strong agreement:
"That's true, I still prefer to do things my own way."
"Besides, Guan Zhenru is several levels above me, and she's also my best friend. Hehe, the more powerful she is, the more reliable a tree we can lean on in the future."
"Now, our big backer will have to work hard!"
Feng Piaopiao's witty remark made everyone else laugh, which diluted the disappointment brought by Zhenru and the dissatisfaction brought by Lei Wuxin.
At the same time, they were secretly encouraging themselves, believing that one day they would catch up with Zhenru. They thought that as long as they lived long enough, their own opportunity would surely be waiting somewhere.
...
Zhenru was unaware of the fighting spirit she had inspired in her friends, who were now doing their best to shake off Lei Wuxin's pursuit.
At this moment, Zhenru was quite certain that Lei Wuxin's words meant there were indeed true elites hidden in the shadows.
Based on Lei Wuxin's current abilities, Zhenru felt that he had been holding back in the cultivation competition.
Even with her already immortal body at that time, she might not have been able to defeat Lei Wuxin.
Of course, it's true that Lei Wuxin couldn't defeat her because of the enhancement from her immortal body.
But if we argue it this way, then Zhenru has ultimately lost.
Moreover, it is very likely that Lei Wuxin knew her physical condition and that she possessed an immortal body, making it impossible for him to defeat her. Therefore, he simply concealed his abilities and quickly won second place.
Thinking back to Lei Wuxin's words and actions, Zhenru suddenly felt very unhappy.
It's not just because of a lack of strength; they feel their victory was unfair.
Zhenru felt even more annoyed because she felt she was being observed.
Like a group of people observing a stone.
Then one day he discovered that there was jade inside the stone, so he threw himself under the waterfall to carefully observe how the water flow would carve the jade into what shape.
If any deviations they don't like occur during the carving process, they'll flip it over or change the waterfall location.
Yes, it's not because she was looked down upon, but because she was only seen as an object and a tool to accomplish something.
Zhenru narrowed his heroic eyes, glanced at a certain direction behind him, made a hand seal, silently unfolded his wings, and his aura completely disappeared.
Lei Wuxin, who was chasing after him, hesitated, frowned, looked around, and still couldn't determine the direction.
It feels as if the aura of true reality is present in all directions, but upon closer inspection, it seems that the aura of true reality is absent from every direction.
Lei Wuxin hadn't expected that Zhenru was not only incredibly strong, but also so fast.
He had already expended a great deal of effort in tracking Zhenru all the way to avoid losing him, and now that he could no longer find Zhenru's aura, he felt both frustrated and excited.
Although they looked down on those pretentious elites, when they encountered someone who truly had some skills, they hoped that the other party would become even stronger.
After a brief moment of meditation, Lei Wuxin flipped his hand and took out a compass-like magic artifact, watching the pointer on it rotate.
Before long, on the surface of the compass crystal, one area gradually turned into a rich golden-red color, the remaining two areas were lighter in color, and the other area hardly changed color.
Lei Wuxin looked in the direction where the color was the most intense, put away the compass in his hand, chuckled softly, and turned to chase after the direction where the color had not changed.
Did you think this would get rid of him?
To this, Zhenru just wants to laugh out loud... Well, why not?
"call--"
Realizing he could no longer sense the tracking presence behind him, Zhenru finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"You noble elites in the shadows, I, the True Lord, am taking my leave now!"
