Chapter 259: Gathering by Chance, Ruins Map
After drifting along the surging river for an unknown amount of time, he suddenly felt that the originally powerful water flow had slowly calmed down.
He slowly opened his eyes, as if he had remembered something. He patted his head and blamed himself.
“Why am I in a meditative state?”
He was completely awake, and he was shocked. He used his true essence to stand on the surface of the water, looking around.
He did not know where he had gone, and he did not know where Nie Ling and Li Mengxi had gone. Suddenly, he was a bit regretful. How could he be in an unconscious meditative state?
Little did he know that when he had jumped into the river, because there was only one person, even if his true essence was strong, it was inevitable that he would be hit by the waves. At that time, it was like a huge wave had pushed him to the edge of the cliff.
The terrifying impact was even comparable to the power of a late-stage foundation establishment cultivator. Instantly, the back of his head was shaken slightly, and his consciousness fell into a blurry state.
Fortunately, his body’s defense was strong enough, so he did not receive much damage.
After thinking through this point, he turned his head to look at the downstream of the river that was still flowing.
He saw that there were still towering cliffs on both sides, and it would take a lot of effort to climb up.
Looking downstream, he saw that in the distance, the river had reached its end?
“Could that be… a waterfall?”
Seeing the smooth river suddenly disappear as if it was broken, the image of a waterfall immediately came to his mind.
Sure enough, when he slowly drifted to the end of the river, the long river fell a thousand feet straight down.
He looked down at the bottom of the waterfall and saw a huge lake.
The water in the lake was dark green, making it difficult to distinguish its depth.
In the middle of the lake stood three mountain-like scenery.
At this moment, he suddenly saw a few figures waving at him from the shore of the lake.
“Su Yi! Over here!”
Nie Ling and Li Mengxi were already below, and there were also a few other figures.
When he saw a figure dressed in white, his mind exploded as he thought in disbelief.
“It can’t be that coincidental…”
However, since Nie Ling and Li Mengxi were below, he naturally had to go down. He only saw that he was at the edge of the waterfall.
Then, he jumped up into the air.
Feeling the sound of the wind constantly blowing in his ears, he secretly fantasized.
When would he be able to fly freely in the sky? Perhaps this day would not be too far away.
Plop!
With a light sound, his body fell heavily into the lake under the protection of true essence, creating a wave of water splashing into the sky.
This action shocked Nie Ling, who wanted to enter the lake to search for Su Yi.
However, she was held back by a small snow-white hand.
Zhao Xuening, who had a light smile on her face, looked at the surface of the lake, which was still rippling.
“Wait.”
With absolute confidence on her face, she slowly came to the shore and squatted down.
Bang!!
With a soft sound, a water pillar shot up into the sky with a figure, and then steadily landed in front of Zhao Xuening.
Just as he used his true essence to dry his wet body, Su Yi saw Zhao Xuening with a smile on her face.
He immediately exclaimed in surprise.
“Xuening, why are you here? Isn’t this too much of a coincidence…”
The more he spoke, the quieter he got. Under the faint smile while looking Xuening, Nie Ling and Li Mengxi came up behind him.
Li Mengxi even took the time to glance at Zhao Xuening.
“Su Yi, how are you? You’re not injured, right?”
Nie Ling’s gaze swept over Su Yi’s body. When she saw that his robe was not damaged and that his handsome face was not injured, she slowly heaved a sigh of relief.
It was good that he was not injured.
Meanwhile, Zhao Xuening ignored Li Mengxi’s provocation and continued to stare at Su Yi with a playful smile on her face.
She stared at him until his hair stood on end.
“Cough, you two, let go of me first…”
He pulled his arms out of the two women’s arms and looked at Zhao Xuening with an awkward smile, not knowing what to say.
“Hey, fellow Daoist Su Yi, I didn’t expect us to meet here so coincidentally. If you hadn’t come, I would have suspected that you wouldn’t be able to find your way here.”
Wang Baocai slowly walked forward and unintentionally helped Su Yi resolve the tragic battle.
Instantly, Su Yi quickly left the group of three women and appeared in front of Wang Baocai in a flash.
When Wang Baocai saw the appearance of the three women, he was momentarily stunned before apologizing.
“I’m sorry, did I come at a bad time?”
As he spoke, Wang Baocai wanted to retreat, but Su Yi was like grasping at a life-saving straw. How could he let Wang Baocai leave?
Su Yi grabbed Wang Baocai and left the terrifying and intense Asura zone formed between the three women, arm in arm.
“No, brother, you came at the right time!”
He said gratefully to Wang Baocai. He could feel that if he continued to stay there, he would probably be treated horribly.
Nie Ling’s intentions were a little clear to him, and his feelings for Zhao Xuening were strange. However, Li Mengxi had only pretended to be like that to target Zhao Xuening, right? She was just adding to the chaos.
At this moment, it was indeed better not to face these things directly.
At this moment, Wang Baocai felt a chill behind him because he could feel two cold gazes staring at him.
He almost sneezed from the cold. Wang Baocai looked at Su Yi, who had his arm around his shoulder, and a hint of sorrow flashed across his eyes.
Meanwhile, the three ladies had already started chatting.
Li Mengxi was the first to open his mouth and ask Zhao Xuening with a questioning look.
“Zhao Xuening, why are you waiting here with that Wang Baocai?”
Zhao Xuening’s aura towards Li Mengxi was not weak at all, and she even had a slight advantage over her. She casually glanced at Li Mengxi, completely unconcerned about the other party’s questioning expression.
“Hmph, it’s none of your business.”
After saying that, Zhao Xuening turned her head to look at Su Yi’s back, ignoring Li Mengxi.
However, how could Li Mengxi let go of this opportunity to target Zhao Xuening? She slowly said with a hint of ridicule in her voice.
“Aiya, this place is in the middle of nowhere, a man and a woman…”
Li Mengxi did not continue. Perhaps she did not want to say it too harshly, but she still had some misgivings in her heart.
Who knew that when she heard this, Zhao Xuening’s face suddenly turned cold.
The aura from her body began to slowly rise, and a pair of cold eyes turned to stare at Li Mengxi.
She spoke in a cold voice, word by word.
“Li Mengxi, slander isn’t like you.”
