A breeze blew, and the bamboo forest rustled. Four elders stood in front of Ji Ruan. No one spoke at this time, just waiting for Ji Ruan's answer.

Hearing Sang Susu's question, Ji Ruan was not annoyed. She had rejected Luo Jingcai, which would have led to misunderstandings, and she couldn't reveal her identity, so she could only make other explanations.

Looking up at Luo Jingcai and the others, Ji Ruan's eyes were full of seriousness:

"The mastermind behind my pursuit is a high-ranking demon from the demon clan, and the Biluo clan cannot resist him."

I thought Ji Ruan could come up with a horrible excuse, but I didn't expect it to be this kind. Sang Susu chuckled and crossed her arms across her chest. She was smiling, but her eyes looked very unfamiliar:

"If you can't lie, then don't lie. Do you think such a lame excuse can fool foxes like us who have lived for a thousand years?"

"Superior? How high is his status? Could he be the Demon Lord?"

After saying that, Sang Susu chuckled and didn't take Ji Ruan's words seriously at all.

"Not the Demon Lord."

Ji Ruan shook his head, and Sang Susu's expression became even colder, as if she had exposed Ji Ruan's trick.

But Ji Ruan's next words made her expression change a little.

"She is the Demon Lord's little disciple, the Demon Race's Lingxiao Saint Girl - Ling Hanxiao."

After saying this, Ji Ruan clearly saw that the expressions of Luo Jingcai and the others had changed, and he knew that they had obviously heard of Ling Hanxiao.

Yes, after all... the other party is such a brilliant person.

Although he is a demon cultivator, Ling Hanxiao has a great reputation in the world of immortal cultivators.

The reason is simple. She started practicing at the age of five, established her foundation at the age of six, reached the Golden Core at the age of eight, and reached the Nascent Soul at the age of twelve. Now, at the age of fifteen, she is already in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul.

The ten years of her life have even reached heights that many immortal cultivators cannot reach in their entire lives.

But these are only what everyone knows. Ji Ruan, who has the memory of her previous life, knows that if she waits another ten years, she will have already cultivated to the Void Refining Stage.

Even if there was a part of the demonic cultivators' plundering of his cultivation, one had to admit that Ling Hanxiao was the son of destiny.

"You...how did you get involved with Ling Hanxiao? Are you trying to scare us on purpose?"

When Ji Ruan mentioned Ling Hanxiao's name, Sang Susu actually believed it.

After all, there is no need for ordinary people to use Ling Hanxiao as an excuse. If the other party finds out, they will be found and eaten alive no matter where they run to.

But Sang Susu didn't understand. Ji Ruan was just an ordinary little cultivator, with the most inconspicuous low-grade spiritual roots. Why would he be targeted by Ling Hanxiao?

Luo Jingcai and the others didn't say anything, but the look in their eyes when they looked at Ji Ruan betrayed them: they also wanted to know.

Now that she had said it, Ji Ruan had already thought of the explanation. She lowered her eyes, her face full of hesitation, as if she was struggling over whether to tell the truth.

Seeing Ji Ruan's reaction, Sang Susu felt like a cat scratching her heart, itching badly. Although her tone was urgent, it was no longer cold as before:

“Hey, Xiao Ruan, just tell me what the reason is. Don’t worry, even if the other party is Ling Hanxiao, she will have to think twice before dealing with the Biluo Sect. We will protect you.”

"Yeah, don't worry, we're not the ones who stab you in the back."

After being rejected by Ji Ruan for a long time, Luo Jing finally spoke again.

At this moment, his eyes were full of heartache. No wonder Ji Ruan worked so hard and didn't dare to slack off. It turned out that her enemy was Ling Hanxiao.

Being an enemy of that person is equivalent to being an enemy of the entire demon clan. Even the Demon Lord will personally take action against him.

Now Luo Jingcai also understood why Ji Ruan refused to be his disciple. She obviously didn't want him to get involved in the dispute between her and Ling Hanxiao.

I couldn't help but feel a little more guilty.

I didn't expect that even though I had already brought Ling Hanxiao out, the four people on the opposite side were not afraid, but instead comforted me.

On the contrary, the Zhao family was frightened by a few minions sent by Ling Hanxiao, and they revealed her whereabouts.

Feeling a little warm in his heart, Ji Ruan took a deep breath, as if he had made a big decision, and turned back to the yard and said:

"Taotao, come out."

The red-haired Pekingese, who was basking in the sun with his belly exposed, heard Ji Ruan's voice and quickly pulled his four short legs over, shaking his big furry head and running to Ji Ruan's feet:

"Wang Wang!"

He even rubbed Ji Ruan's trouser leg with his head in a flattering manner.

Looking at Taotao at Ji Ruan's feet, Luo Jingcai and others became even more curious, but this time no one spoke, just waiting for Ji Ruan to explain for them.

"Taotao is the reason why Ling Hanxiao is chasing me, because I conquered Taotao before she did, so she thought I stole my opportunity."

"So, she sent people to hunt me down, intending to kill me and steal the treasure."

Squatting down and touching Taotao's big furry head, Ji Ruan explained softly.

"Woo~"

Hearing Ji Ruan's words, Tao Tao's eyes flashed with doubt, and he hummed softly.

That’s not right. Didn’t I grow up with the little master?

When has the young master ever snatched himself from a bad woman?

However, Taotao's doubts did not last long, because it saw Ji Ruan, who had his back to Luo Jingcai and the others, blinking at it.

Seeing this action, Taotao understood instantly, oh~ helping to act, it understands this.

"Just because of a little dog?"

Sang Susu was full of disbelief. What was there to steal from a little Pekingese?

Although girls all like furry, soft and cute things, it is still too hasty to become mortal enemies just for this thing.

Ji Ruan had long guessed that Sang Susu and the others would not believe it. Although he did not want to expose Taotao's identity, for the sake of the authenticity of his words, he had to let Taotao bear the grievance.

Thinking of this, Ji Ruan decided to let Taotao restore his true form.

"It's not impossible."

But before Ji Ruan could speak, Luo Jingcai's voice rang out.

Feeling a little surprised, Ji Ruan turned to look at Luo Jingcai, somewhat confused.

Luo Jingcai looked at Ji Ruan with a kind smile in his eyes. He had already understood Ji Ruan's intention to reject him, and he believed in Ji Ruan's words in his heart:

"Taotao is not an ordinary little beast, but a spiritual beast, which is rare in the world."

“Besides, even if Taotao is just an ordinary little beast, with a magic cultivator like Ling Hanxiao, would he let Xiao Ruan go?”

Luo Jingcai glanced at Sang Susu,

"When the demon cultivators want to kill someone, they never care about the reason. As long as they want, they will not let the person go, even to the ends of the earth."

“What’s more, Xiao Ruan did have a conflict with Ling Hanxiao, so it’s normal for him to be hunted down.”

Hearing this, Sang Susu curled her lips and stopped talking, obviously agreeing with Luo Jingcai's words.
