"Of course it is!"
Lan Xinyi giggled.
The two had been chatting and getting along quite well, and with Ouyang Jing as their mutual acquaintance, they felt even closer and more familiar with each other.
Su Chen had always been interesting and humorous. Sotis, he would casually joke around, and Lan Xinyi's cheerful laughter could be heard from ti to ti.
Not far behind the two, Lan Haifeng watched them talk happily, and especially seeing Lan Xinyi so joyful made him feel quite upset!
Although Lan Haifeng shared the sa surna, he had no blood relation to Lan Xinyi, so he inevitably had so other feelings. After all, Lan Xinyi's appearance and figure were there for everyone to see!
Which normal man wouldn't be moved?
However, he hadn't shown this, so most people, including those in Yunhai Hall, were unaware of it.
So seeing Lan Xinyi and Su Chen enjoying their ti together naturally made him very displeased!
Especially when he thought about how she deliberately kept a distance from him regularly, his displeasure intensified.
"Haifeng, who is this guy? Why does the young lady seem so happy talking to him?"
Soone beside him whispered.
"Who the hell knows!"
Lan Haifeng replied, displeased.
At this ti, they were still so distance away from Lan Xinyi and Su Chen and couldn't clearly hear what they were talking about.
"Xinyi, why is it that only young people like you from Yunhai Hall ca out, without any older ones accompanying you?"
Su Chen asked, sowhat puzzled.
"That's because, though the ruins in Heavenly Profound Mountain are vast, in recent years, nurous forces have searched for treasures here almost annually, making it harder and harder to find anything. Those elders are no longer as enthusiastic about it as they were at the beginning."
Su Chen nodded upon hearing this. It was only natural, after all, treasures weren't innate and never-ending. Over ti, they inevitably beca scarcer and harder to find.
Ouyang Jing had told Su Chen the sa thing before, advising him to just take it lightly, no need to hold too much hope, just treat it as a leisure trip and try their luck.
Decades ago, in the early years when these ruins were discovered, almost every force sent experts here to vie for treasures!
Back then, bloodshed was commonplace. Many were injured by rampaging demon beasts since no one yet understood their behavior.
Of course, more often, when treasures were found, each force would clash violently!
Human nature was thoroughly exposed back then, and many forces with good relations would instantly turn against each other before treasures!
Such occurrences were not uncommon in the early years!
"Originally, my father arranged for two elders to accompany us this ti, but I turned them down. After all, we young people should have our own experiences. Always being under the protection of elders would never lead to real growth!"
Lan Xinyi continued.
Su Chen was sowhat impressed by this Lan Xinyi. If she were a man, it wouldn't be surprising. However, for a woman to have such thoughts was indeed comndable!
But Su Chen also knew that Yunhai Hall allowed their young ones out largely because exploring ruins nowadays wasn't as dangerous as before!
The group walked on for two or three hours without realizing it, until suddenly, a few figures appeared faintly from the bushes ahead.
"Xinyi, what a coincidence!"
Upon seeing Lan Xinyi, the group imdiately approached, and the man in the lead, dressed in lavish clothes, called out joyfully.
Lan Xinyi's expression subtly changed upon seeing the group, but she quickly recovered to display a polite smile and replied indifferently:
"Yes, quite a coincidence."
"Haifeng, there is going to be a show now!"
"Indeed, everyone knows how the Young Sect Master feels about the young lady."
...
The people from Yunhai Hall began to chuckle quietly when they saw the group approaching and started whispering about it!
They were equally unwelcoming of Su Chen joining their team!
It was only because the young lady invited him that they refrained from opposing it!
Now, seeing the arrival of the lavishly dressed young man, they all anticipated an interesting spectacle.
The identity of that young man was no secret. He was Zhou Hao, the Young Sect Master of the prominent Liewu Sect from the Ancient Martial World!
Though Liewu Sect's power was slightly lesser than Yunhai Hall's, it wasn't much of a difference!
Moreover, this Young Sect Master of Liewu Sect had been pursuing Lan Xinyi, making the two forces quite a match!
This Young Sect Master of Liewu Sect wouldn't be indifferent seeing the young lady with another man!
He wouldn't dare do anything to the young lady, but he surely wouldn't hold that guy in high regard!
At this mont, Lan Haifeng's lips curled into a cold smile!
What others didn't know was that he was the one who contacted the Young Sect Master of Liewu Sect!
Because of Lan Xinyi, he couldn't do much, but the Young Sect Master of Liewu Sect was different!
In fact, he had known Zhou Hao was around, so more than an hour ago, he secretly sent a ssage to Zhou Hao, informing him of a young man in their group who was quite close to Lan Xinyi!
He also shared their route!
He believed Zhou Hao would rush over upon receiving this information, and indeed, it happened as he expected, with Zhou Hao appearing!
Now he just needed to sit back and watch!
In this way, Lan Haifeng wasn't stupid; he was just too arrogant to bother with Su Chen!
On the contrary, it was Zhou Hao, the Young Sect Master of Tianwu Sect, who was rather foolish, being used as a pawn without realizing it!
He even thought Lan Haifeng was being considerate for informing him of this!
Of course, this was because he was unaware that Lan Haifeng harbored the sa feelings for Lan Xinyi!
At this mont, Su Chen also glanced at the lavishly dressed man, thinking to himself:
The Ancient Martial World indeed lives up to its reputation, incomparable to the Martial Arts World. Not to ntion anything else, just this man in front of him, including Lan Xinyi and even Lan Haifeng, had all reached the Kaiyuan Realm Primary Stage!
Bear in mind, during the Martial Arts Conference in the Martial Arts World, everyone was stunned when they learned that the Sect Leader of Shengyi Gate, Mo Changqing, had entered the Kaiyuan Realm!
But in the Ancient Martial World, among the younger generation, this seed fairly common, at least not so rare.
This shows how vast the gap between the two really is!
"Xinyi, why didn't you tell you were coming over? We could have traveled together!"
Zhou Hao said, looking at Lan Xinyi.
