Su Rou and Su Mei, this pair of sisters, were once the most beautiful women in the entire Azure Dragon Sect. Though sisters, their beauty was strikingly different.
They were the kind of beauties one could never forget after a single glance.
Now, many years had passed since the days of the Azure Dragon Sect.
Yet these sisters remained as stunning as they had been back then.
It was as if time had left no trace upon their faces.
Su Rou, not only had her charm not diminished, but her presence had grown even more commanding, her queenly aura increasingly pronounced.
As for Su Mei, her appearance still resembled that of a young girl, so pure and endearing that one couldn’t help but want to cherish her.
That said, considering the lifespans of martial cultivators, often stretching into thousands of years, their ages were still quite young by comparison.
But what was strange was that Su Rou and Su Mei shared the same gaze, one that was cold, even terrifying, as if a fearsome soul resided within their beautiful bodies.
This strongly suggested that their bodies were likely still under the control of Yue Xian.
So, rather than calling them Su Rou and Su Mei, it might be more accurate to say this was Yue Xian.
It seemed she had overheard Liangqiu Chengfeng’s earlier words and thus knew the secrets of this ancient ruin. When she arrived before the massive stone tablet, she didn’t pause or examine its contents. Instead, she headed straight for the right-hand door. But the moment she stepped inside, a powerful force shoved her back out.
“No good?”
Su Rou and Su Mei spoke simultaneously, yet the voice came from a single source, unmistakably Yue Xian’s.
Undeterred, she rose immediately and turned toward the left passage, the one Chu Feng and the others had entered.
This time, she stepped in smoothly.
However, shortly after entering, Yue Xian waved her sleeve, and a radiant light enveloped her body. As the light consumed her, her figure vanished.
Chu Feng had no idea that Yue Xian had entered the ancient ruin, following their path into this corridor.
Leading the group deeper inside, Chu Feng encountered numerous obstacles along the way. Far from smooth sailing, most of these hurdles were life-threatening, yet none proved too much for him.
The younger generation watched in awe as Chu Feng single-handedly dismantled every barrier and formation, some they’d sensed, others they hadn’t even noticed.
Their reverence for him grew stronger with each step.
Especially among the women, who had initially looked down on Chu Feng, dismissing him as a country bumpkin unworthy of a glance, fearing he’d sully their eyes.
But now, miraculously, they found themselves developing feelings of admiration for him. Their goodwill toward him swelled, and some even began striking up conversations with him, their tones warm and familiar. Even a fool could see they were trying to get closer to him.
Unfortunately for them, Liangqiu Hongyue stayed by Chu Feng’s side, leaving them little chance to say much.
At that moment, however, a massive stone tablet blocked their path.
The tablet was enormous, covered in intricate boundary runes, not mere text, but symbols imbued with the profound mysteries of boundary arts, comprehensible only to those highly skilled in the craft.
Chu Feng, Wuma Shengjie, Liangqiu Hongyue, Liangqiu Lanyue, and everyone else present began studying the tablet’s contents using their own observation techniques.
But the deeper they delved, the more their brows furrowed. Not only did the symbols become increasingly incomprehensible, but a heavy oppression weighed on their hearts. Their minds grew muddled, and auditory hallucinations buzzed in their ears. It felt as though they were on the verge of losing their sanity.
Realizing the danger, they quickly averted their gazes, halting their study of the tablet.
Even the Liangqiu sisters hastily withdrew from the tablet’s boundary runes, fearing their minds might unravel and lead to reckless actions.
But as they pulled back, they instinctively glanced at Chu Feng and Wuma Shengjie.
Seeing that both Wuma Shengjie and Chu Feng were still fixated on the tablet, a flicker of displeasure flashed in the Liangqiu sisters’ eyes.
At this point, everyone except Wuma Shengjie and Chu Feng had withdrawn their gazes from the tablet.
This proved that Wuma Shengjie and Chu Feng’s endurance surpassed that of the sisters.
Chu Feng’s persistence didn’t bother them. Ever since learning he was Chu Xuanyuan’s son, they’d stopped viewing him as a rival and instead developed a deep fondness for him.
That fondness led the sisters to hope Chu Feng would only grow stronger.
But Wuma Shengjie was different. In their eyes, he remained a competitor.
Just as their irritation peaked, Wuma Shengjie pulled his gaze away.
At this, the displeasure in the Liangqiu sisters’ eyes vanished instantly.
It showed that while Wuma Shengjie’s endurance exceeded theirs, it wasn’t by a wide margin.
In that moment, all eyes turned to Chu Feng.
He was the only one still holding on.
Whether they could unravel the tablet’s secrets now rested solely on him.
