The fairies I flirted with in the game became real?!-Chapter 766: Who Kidnapped Whom

A tightly sealed array was set up to block all sounds within the cabin, this time even a cultivator from the Heavenly Eternal Realm wouldn’t be able to hear the conversation inside if they were standing at the door.

Li Muyang, vigilant as ever, stared at Liu Lian’er in front of him and asked, "How did you know I’m an Ascendant?"

The matter of the Ascendant was currently Li Muyang’s biggest secret.

It was also related to the pursuit and assassination by the Immortal Artifact Masters.

He didn’t understand why Liu Lian’er, knowing full well he was an Ascendant, didn’t disclose this information to Xie Liuyun.

He was even more curious about how Liu Lian’er came to know he was an Ascendant.

Apart from that group of outcasts in the Northern Region of the Tianyuan Continent, the only other person who knew about him being an Ascendant was Nie Yubing.

But Nie Yubing had promised Li Muyang to keep it a secret and not tell anyone.

How did Liu Lian’er find out?

Li Muyang’s gaze was full of confusion.

However, Liu Lian’er, being questioned by him, did not answer the question. Instead, she leisurely stretched her hand to her face and began to peel it off.

Soon, Liu Lian’er had pulled off her own face.

A soft and lifelike human skin mask was carefully placed into her Qiankun Ring by her.

With her true face revealed, Liu Lian’er then turned to Li Muyang and said, "Isn’t it obvious? Shen Yan said that you’ve already crossed the Misty Sea, appeared multiple times on the Tianyuan Continent on the other side, and saved the beings there from peril."

"For someone to possess such formidable power, after much thought, aside from the legendary existence of the Ascendant, I couldn’t think of anyone else who could do so."

"Hence, I speculated you were the Ascendant, and it seems I was indeed correct."

Without waiting for an invitation from Li Muyang, Liu Lian’er casually sat down, appearing very relaxed and comfortable, as if she were a holiday guest.

She said, "As for why I would help you, it’s because I’m afraid of death, of course."

"Although Uncle-Master Xie and his fellow cultivators want to capture you, can they truly kill you? I’m not confident about that."

Liu Lian’er continued, "The letters Shen Yan sent back claimed that every time you descend upon this world, you can switch to different bodies and display different Divine Skills, to this day no one knows where your true body is."

"Look, the Qing Yang Society’s Elder Tianxin caused you harm, yet you immediately switched to a new body and appeared again, your cultivation and fighting strength unaffected."

"If I were to betray you and tell Uncle-Master Xie that you are an Ascendant, once they harm you and fail, I would certainly be in trouble and become subject to your revenge."

"Even if Uncle-Master Xie and others do succeed and slay you, who knows what identity and appearance you will assume when you reincarnate into a new flesh the next time?"

"Once you discover it was I who leaked the news, you would definitely come after me. How could I, a frail woman, resist a great cultivator of the Heavenly Eternal Realm like you?"

Liu Lian’er added, "Moreover, Shen Yan is my good friend. How could I betray a man she admires?"

Laughing cheerily, Liu Lian’er said to Li Muyang, "This is the whole reason I’m keeping your secret. That’s why I can’t return to the secluded valley; if my master uses mind-reading and finds out I’ve concealed important news, then I’m done for."

Liu Lian’er didn’t wait for Li Muyang to press her for answers, she just blurted out everything clearly, like pouring beans out of a bamboo tube.

Her cooperative attitude left Li Muyang speechless.

But after a few seconds of silence, Li Muyang continued to inquire: "You fear your master will blame you for hiding important news, but now that you’re defecting from the sect with me, isn’t that a greater crime?"

"Hiding the news at most can lead to a punishment from your master. But you defecting from the sect... your master will likely have to clean house and personally execute you."

Based on the analysis of interests, Liu Lian’er’s words didn’t make sense.

But Liu Lian’er shook her head: "That’s why I say, Senior Brother Li, you don’t understand women at all."

"Our Hehuan Sect is known for its beauty, and there are many women in the sect. The cultivation techniques we practice are quite controversial, always the center of third-rate rumors in the Cultivation World."

"On ordinary days, without doing anything, Hehuan Sect is already subject to various rumors and gossip within the Cultivation World."

"Once the news that the young Sect Master of Hehuan Sect has been kidnapped spreads... hehe... I’m afraid I will immediately become the center of rumors in the Cultivation World, all sorts of smears and fabricated stories about me will be fresh out of the oven, tarnishing the reputation of the Hehuan Sect as well."

"This is something my master absolutely cannot accept."

Liu Lian’er said leisurely: "So this matter won’t get out, my master won’t make a big fuss in sending people to kill you, but will instead seal off the news, to prevent rumors and gossip."

"Besides, from my master’s perspective, we are not defecting from the sect, it’s just that I’m eloping with you."

"Even if I’m caught and brought back, at most I’ll be punished for not abiding by the rules, and a junior sister might be put in my place as the young Sect Master."

Liu Lian’er said calmly: "Anyway, I don’t have a Protector, so I can no longer be the young Sect Master. My master has started to show signs of wavering recently, it seems she wants to let one of my junior sisters replace me."

"Now that I’m eloping with you, Senior Brother Li, I’m vacating the position voluntarily, perhaps my master will even breathe a sigh of relief."

These words made Li Muyang frown.

"There’s also this reason? Your master intends to replace someone as the young Sect Master?"

Liu Lian’er taking the initiative to run away with him this time was clearly an opportunity to express her dissatisfaction with her master.

Tsk...

"So you really don’t plan to return to the Hehuan Sect?" Li Muyang curiously looked at Liu Lian’er.

But he saw Liu Lian’er blinking innocently: "Ah? Is that something I can decide? Senior Brother Li, I’m a hostage being held by you right now, if you let me go, of course I’d have to return to the sect and seek help from my master, after all, I’m the young Sect Master of the Hehuan Sect!"

"You damn..." After listening to Liu Lian’er’s words, Li Muyang immediately became speechless: "Are you sticking to me like glue now?"

Liu Lian’er giggled: "Not at all, I’m helping Senior Brother Li, right? I know Senior Brother Li wants to talk to Shen Yan, so I will definitely help with all my might. Next time Shen Yan sends back a letter, Senior Brother Li will be the one to reply."

"Whatever Senior Brother Li asks me to do, I’ll do it obediently."

"Even if Senior Brother Li wants me to serve in bed, Lian’er will wash up and wait on the bed willingly for Senior Brother Li’s affection."

Liu Lian’er blinked her eyes innocently, coupled with her naturally seductive charm.

For a moment, Li Muyang couldn’t help but step back, barely resisting this little vixen’s charm.

Although he planned the kidnapping, and Liu Lian’er’s cooperation was something he needed, yet... why did it feel like he was the one being kidnapped?

Li Muyang stared at the playful vixen for a long while, speechless, before deciding to skip this topic and inquire about serious matters: "So how do you plan to talk to Shen Yan? Can it only be done when she sends a letter back?"

Liu Lian’er nodded obediently: "Yes, before Shen Yan left, she gave me a keepsake... Yes, it’s the Jade Pendant I mentioned before."

"However, the wonderful use of that Jade Pendant is to draw in Spiritual Energy, to locate another Jade Pendant far away, and transmit thoughts and voices across the distance."

"It’s been quite a while since Shen Yan last sent a letter."

"Perhaps in about a month or so, we can receive Shen Yan’s second letter."
