I Have Countless Past-life Identities-Chapter 106 - 71: Ruan Xiuxiu: I Think These Rumors Are Enough to Surpass Song Brahman Mirror!_2

The two of them politely declined, which was to be expected.

As for Cui Chan.

"In that case, I won't be polite about it." The chief of the Demon-locking Forest on the mountain accepted the gift with a clear conscience.

Putting in effort and reaping the rewards is only fair, so why shouldn't he accept?

As for Ruan Xiuxiu, she was originally standing behind Song Chai Xin.

When the young girl heard about the post-battle distribution and realized Song Chai Xin hadn't left anything for her, she immediately knitted her brows and, like a little wife, began muttering quietly to herself:

"You're perfectly generous to others, but when it comes to yourself, you don't take anything?"

"As the Guardian, even if you can collect some silver coins, the precious materials for great medicine are rare. Even just three or five plants can be exchanged for a Yellow Court Great Pill, which, once refined, can provide nearly a year's worth of power."

"You're silly for giving it all away and not keeping any for yourself."

She poked Song Chai Xin's shoulder blade, but immediately 'pretended' to realize that in Black Mountain City, not a single person didn't recognize her.

Noticing Cui Chan's 'slightly surprised' gaze.

Ruan Xiuxiu's face flushed as if her secret had been exposed.

She then feigned ignorance and pretended nothing happened, giving a light cough with her hands behind her:

"Anyway, since I didn't really exert much effort, I won't take anything unearned. You can have my share."

She murmured softly and turned around, wanting to leave nonchalantly, as the Demon Hunting Bureau Chief, to oversee the battlefield and clean up any stragglers.

Yet, her behavior was a bit suspicious, without any cover-up.

Ruan Xiuxiu hadn't forgotten that Cui Chan was the top supporter of the Young Palace Master.

Song Chai Xin was what?

He was too!

Both had interest in that person, but according to her observation, the former was never taken seriously.

However, Song Chai Xin, though both were women, relying on intuition, Ruan Xiuxiu always felt that Song Brahman Mirror showed a little interest in him, just not as intense and determined as her own feelings.

But at least, there was some opportunity.

She wanted to rise to the top, having already risked an attempt once inside the Xie Mansion carriage on her way to Black Mountain.

And that time, she won the gamble; Song Chai Xin wasn't as innocent as she thought, yet coincidentally, Song Brahman Mirror had gone to Xuanqing Lake years ago to fetch this kid up.

The first to arrive found it too early, becoming an epic tale, unable to be surpassed.

If she could, Ruan Xiuxiu certainly wanted to have Song Chai Xin to herself.

Her competitive heart, whenever she thought about her relationship with Song Chai Xin, always felt like it was dictated by 'Song Brahman Mirror's' expression, infuriating her.

That's why she played a bit of 'small tricks.'

Indeed,

Cui Chan, seemingly having discovered something, caught up in a few steps:

"Little Sister, you and..."

He looked in Song Chai Xin's direction, greatly shocked. In that instant, his mind connected the dots, understanding why Ruan Xiuxiu was this Black Mountain's eighth-grade Demon Hunting Department Chief!

At the same time,

He remembered last time when Ruan Xiuxiu returned to the mountain after her training, she had unexpectedly sighed in front of him, saying she understood him, implying something significant!

"Have they been good since then?" Cui Chan abruptly turned back with a smacking tongue to look at the nonchalant Song Chai Xin.

Good tactics.

Although Ruan Xiuxiu wasn't as dazzling as Song Brahman Mirror,

But, being the 'True Sword' inheritor, she was the future second-in-command of Yunluan Mountain, the unreachable dream of many young Martial Artists of Yunluan!

Just like that, someone intercepted?

"Brother Cui, don't talk nonsense." Ruan Xiuxiu 'nervously' shook her head, seeing the Yunluan Disciples who followed Cui Chan down the mountain starting to shift their gaze between her and Song Chai Xin, whispering.

Suddenly, her face turned beet red, her words becoming stuttering and incoherent, she switched topics:

"You... your ancestral home isn't in Wutong Prefecture, right? I heard that back then, your parents put a lot of effort into having you join the Yunluan Martial Arts Hall and enter Yunluan Mountain to cultivate. Now that you've reached the Carefree Realm, aren't you going to visit them?"

Seeing Ruan Xiuxiu with her hands behind her back, head lowered, stirring her fingers in her sleeves, the dignity of her Demon Hunting Robe dissipated, becoming like a girl-next-door feeling love's stirrings.

Cui Chan was momentarily perplexed, unsure how to respond.

Even though he let go of the past.

Yet whenever facing Song Chai Xin, he still felt awkward.

Seeing Ruan Xiuxiu, whom he watched grow up as his 'little sister,' being lured by a big wolf, especially by Song Chai Xin, who once trod his face into the dirt...

He certainly still found it hard to fully let go, no matter how he looked at it!

However, ultimately, Cui Chan chose to respect Ruan Xiuxiu's wishes:

"Yes, I haven't been home for years. Having reached the Carefree Realm, opening a Yunluan branch in Black Mountain is a modest success, making it a fitting time to return."

"Now that the Black Mountain demonic threat is cleared, this place is relatively peaceful. I'll head back to handle the relevant matters of establishing a Martial Arts Hall, hopefully before the Young Palace Master's 'Primordial Pill' ceremony, bringing my elders here to Black Mountain."

He intentionally echoed Ruan Xiuxiu's words without reservation, though he was speaking the truth.

Cui Chan's filial piety was known throughout Yunluan Mountain.

He climbed the mountain at a young age, now ten years past; due to his parents and kin painstakingly assisting him step by step onto Yunluan Mountain, he wouldn't be at Demon-locking Forest today.

The saying 'It's like wearing costly garments and walking alone at night if wealth doesn't bring honor back home,' brought a joyful look when mentioning family matters.

Only,

The disciples behind from Yunluan Mountain grouped in threes and fives, passing the recent situation from one to another, openly and secretly sorting out the details.
