Chapter 808

The lake surface was sparkling with waves, and the lake was so clear that several plump fish could be faintly seen swimming in it.

By the lakeside, a person was standing, looking at Yun Xuan and Ruan Xinyu who came with Liu Gui with a smile on his face at the moment, and raised his hand to say hello： “Long time no see, ladies.”

Neither Ruan Xinyu nor Yun Xuan answered, being stunned for a moment.

Yang Kai helplessly shook his head and stepped towards them.

When he came closer, Liu Gui, who led the way, quickly bowed and saluted, with an indescribable flattering and sycophantic look in his expression： “Holy Lord, this little one had no eyes before. Please don’t blame this little one.”

“It’s okay.” Yang Kai shook his head.

Liu Gui’s expression relaxed, and he said respectfully： “My lord, I have brought these two girls to you.”

“Well done.” Yang Kai patted the young man whose soul brand was controlled by him with Jun Tian Yin affectionately, making him suddenly feel flattered and quickly said, “It should be.”

Hesitating for a while, Liu Gui stammered and asked, “Sir, you see that I have no malicious intentions towards you. Can you return that soul brand to me first? Sir, don’t worry. I, Liu Gui, will never let anyone disclose a single word about your information. Otherwise, I will be struck by lightning and die a bad death.”

Seeing his vow-like appearance, Yang Kai chuckled and said, “This can’t be promised to you for the time being, but I won’t hurt you either, as long as you are obedient.”

“How dare I not listen？” Liu Gui had a bitter face. Last time when Yang Kai left Jiufeng and went to the Beast Sea Jungle, he and some companions intercepted Yang Kai together. Not only did they not succeed, but they were also subdued by Yang Kai. As a result, he still had to work for others now. If the Palace Master knew about this, he wouldn’t have enough lives to die.”

Thinking of this, Liu Gui’s heart was more bitter than bitter melon.

“There are benefits for obedient people.” Yang Kai observed his words and expressions, knew that he was uncomfortable in his heart, and immediately threw a bottle of pills over.

Liu Gui was quick-eyed and caught it with one hand. He opened the bottle suspiciously and sniffed it. His face was ecstatic and he exclaimed, “Spiritual-level pill？”

“Work hard, and there will be no shortage of good things for you in the future.” Yang Kai praised.

“Yes, yes, yes. Thank you, Holy Lord！” Liu Gui was grateful and tearful.

Thinking that he, a warrior in the Divine Soul Realm, had a low status in the Battle Soul Palace and was not usually taken seriously. The pills for cultivation were also distributed by the palace according to the number of people. At most, he could only receive two or three Mysterious Grade Pills every month. But now, just by doing a trivial matter for Yang Kai, he directly got a bottle of Spiritual Grade Pills.

This was simply a great thing, which made Liu Gui dizzy. Even though Yang Kai had taken his soul brand and controlled his life and death, he didn’t care much.

Secretly feeling that following this Holy Lord, there was indeed a bright future.

Seeing his expression, Yang Kai was satisfied in his heart. He knew that this guy was a small person who would forget righteousness for profit. To deal with this kind of person, a little sweet could make him work hard.

Youdaoplaceholder0 the restriction that Ruan Xinyu had placed on him and waved his hand, saying “You can go back. There’s nothing for you to do here.”

“Yes, Holy Lord. If there is a place where I can be used next time, please be sure to order.” Liu Gui said seriously.

“There will be such an opportunity.” Yang Kai nodded with a smile.

Only then did Liu Gui turn around and leave. Before leaving, he looked at Yun Xuan with a particularly envious gaze and murmured, “What good fortune the girl has.”

It seemed that he felt that this girl could have some friendship with this new Holy Lord, which was simply a great honor.

Yun Xuan’s pretty face flushed red from being said that. Ruan Xinyu glared at him： “Blabbermouth！”

Liu Gui chuckled dryly and quickly fled.

After he left, Yang Kai then looked at the two women in front of him with a smile： “Haven’t seen you two for a few years, you are still so charming and enchanting.”

“Smooth-talking!” Ruan Xinyu scoffed and shouted: “You bastard, since you didn’t die, why didn’t you report your safety to Yun Xuan all this time, making her sad for you for a long time.”

“Xinyu…” Yun Xuan called out softly, pursing her red lips. Her beautiful eyes stared at Yang Kai without blinking, and suddenly felt that the man who made her worry about him had become extremely tall, and she could only look up at him from a distance.

When she met him back then, his cultivation was not as high as hers, and his old-fashioned attire was like an ignorant kid who had just walked out of some deep mountain forest.

But after a few years, he had actually become the new Saint Lord of the Nine Heavens Holy Land, and his cultivation was even much higher than hers.

Now she was at the peak of the Divine Movement Realm, but he had already reached the second level of the Transcendent Realm…

Such a gap, I’m afraid I won’t be able to close it even if I work hard for decades.

Standing in front of him, Yun Xuan couldn’t help but feel a sense of inferiority, and her heart was filled with bitterness.

Sensing Yun Xuan’s abnormality, Yang Kai furrowed his brows, not knowing what was on her mind, and dryly laughed, “Don’t tell me you don’t recognize me？”

Yun Xuan forced a smile and said, “I would recognize you even if you turned to ashes.”

Yang Kai pinched his nose and said, “Then why are you looking at me like a stranger？ If you’re angry because I didn’t report my safety to you, I apologize. I’ve really been too busy these years, and there are some things that I really don’t want others to know.”

Ruan Xinyu said indignantly, “Hmph, I just guessed that you’re a heartless guy. Clearly, you want to play with others and then run away, not wanting to take responsibility.”

Yang Kai was extremely embarrassed and said, “What responsibility do I have to take？ That incident was an accident, okay？”

Come to think of it, he really hadn’t thought of Yun Xuan in these years. Although Yang Kai felt guilty towards this woman, he didn’t compare her with Senior Sister Su Yan.”

If it wasn’t for the spiritual toxin of the Charm Demon back then, that kind of embarrassing thing wouldn’t have happened.”

Ruan Xinyu said with extreme contempt, “Sure enough, you don’t want to admit it. I really misjudged you!” There was nothing but spurn in her eyes.

Yang Kai helplessly shook his head.”

Yun Xuan had been silent all this time. It was only at this moment that she let out a heavy sigh and smiled slightly, Xinyu, don’t talk about this anymore. It’s not interesting. Some things and some people, it’s enough to have them once. There’s no need to be entangled.

“You’re really free and easy.” Ruan Xinyu looked at Yun Xuan in surprise.

“But you, why would you let a disciple of the Battle Soul Palace bring us here？ How does he listen to your orders？” Yun Xuan looked at Yang Kai suspiciously.

“Oh, I had a conflict with him half a month ago. At that time, I did something to him, so I can communicate with him with my spiritual thoughts. When I saw you today, I asked him to bring you here.” Yang Kai explained, “Is your Proud Union also involved in this matter？”

“Yes.” Yun Xuan nodded. “The previous saintess of your Holy Land went to the territory of our Proud Union, killed some of the disciples below, and then Zhang Ao of the Broken Profound Palace invited my father to come here to ask the Nine Heavens Holy Land for an explanation. My father came, but I didn’t expect that they didn’t have the intention to reconcile with you at all. They wanted to fight as soon as they came up.”

“They brought you here just to boost their courage and make up the number.” Yang Kai sneered.

“It should be like this. In fact, many forces have the same experience as our union. Before we came, two small forces wanted to leave, but they were wiped out by Zhang Ao and the others instead.”

Yang Kai’s eyes shrank： “They really have the heart to do it.”

“After this incident, I don’t think anyone would dare to leave anymore. And Zhang Ao and the others spoke very convincingly, saying that the next attack would be able to level your Nine Heavens Holy Land. Can you… stop them？”

Yang Kai slowly shook his head. “If it really comes to a fight, it’ll be a lose-lose situation. The Holy Land won’t have it easy, and neither will you.”

“Then what are you going to do？ It’s better to leave quickly. Staying there is really too dangerous.”

“Don’t worry, I have my own way to deal with it. Instead, you guys, don’t get involved.” Yang Kai had a serious expression. “If you get involved, your Solitary Pride Alliance will definitely suffer heavy losses.”

“What do you mean by that？” Yun Xuan was shocked when she heard this.

“It’s hard to say now. Anyway, after you go back, persuade your father to take people and leave here as soon as possible. There will be some major changes here soon.”

Yun Xuan frowned and nodded slightly. Without Yang Kai’s further explanation, she chose to believe.

Ruan Xinyu sneered aside. “Are you being a bit too confident？ Although the barrier of your Nine Heavens Holy Land is not bad and there are also a few high-ranking experts, as far as I know, the number of Saint Realm experts among the helpers Zhang Ao has recruited is twice that of yours.”

“So what？” Yang Kai laughed coldly. “If they dare not leave, they will have to pay the price.”

“Don’t understand this guy…” Ruan Xinyu slowly shook her head. “How did a person like you become the new Saint Lord of the Nine Heavens Holy Land？”

“Everyone has their own opportunity.” Yang Kai chuckled. “I would rather not be any Saint Lord.”

Ruan Xinyu curled her lip, clearly not believing. In her opinion, any man who got such an opportunity would probably be overjoyed. How could he be as dismissive as Yang Kai said？

This brat is clearly being pretentious after getting a bargain！ Ruan Xinyu looked down on Yang Kai even more and secretly felt that the reason his strength had improved so rapidly was entirely due to the cultivation of the Nine Heavens Holy Land.

If the Nine Heavens Holy Land were willing to cultivate her, she could also reach such a height.

“Is there anything else to say？” Yun Xuan looked at Yang Kai and asked.

Yang Kai was stunned and shook his head： “No.”

“Then we’ll go back first. Staying out for a long time will arouse suspicion.” Yun Xuan said, looking at Yang Kai with a complex expression and whispering, “Anyway, thank you for the reminder this time. I will talk to my father well. Also… you have to be careful yourself. I know you are more powerful than before and your status is different from before, but your strength alone is limited. If you encounter something you can’t solve, don’t be brave.”

“Well, I remember.” Yang Kai nodded seriously.

“Then we’re leaving. If we can get through this difficult time, you are always welcome to come to Du’ao City in the future.” Yun Xuan pursed her lips and smiled, and left with Ruan Xinyu hand in hand.

Standing there and staring at their disappearing backs, Yang Kai’s emotions fluctuated. He didn’t expect this woman to leave as soon as she said, simply and neatly, without any hesitation.

Yang Kai had originally been considering how to soothe her emotions, but now it seemed there was no need for that.
