Ancient Fiend Dragon Emperor-Chapter 1724 - 1723: Xiang’er’s Whereabouts!

Pavilions and towers, fallen blossoms and flowing waters.

This place is painted pink, surrounded by numerous trees. Though it’s the cold winter, flowers are in full bloom.

Floral scents spread, with the clear chirps of birds echoing crisply all around.

As you nod and look around, little fish swim joyfully in the flowing waters, occasionally emerging to the surface as if, like cultivators, they are absorbing nature’s spiritual energy.

No one else is here, only a cottage nestled among the trees, seemingly the private retreat of Lin Ruoxuan.

When Su Han entered with Lin Ruoxuan, she waved her jade-like hand, and a light barrier instantly surrounded them.

"Have a seat."

She pointed to a stone stool by the stone table, her white fingers long and as enchanting as crystal.

Su Han sat down and straightforwardly asked, "Do you know me?"

Lin Ruoxuan’s lips carried a gentle smile.

Her nature was evidently amiable, unlike the aloofness of Mu Shenling or her conceit.

She was approachable, no wonder so many were fond of her.

"Next, I’ll ask, you answer." Lin Ruoxuan’s voice was pleasant to hear.

But Su Han wasn’t concerned with the pleasantries and frowned a bit, yet he nodded.

"Are you really called Su Baliu?" Lin Ruoxuan asked.

"Yes." Su Han responded.

"Is this a nickname or your real name?" Lin Ruoxuan’s gaze fixed on Su Han, her eyes as shimmering as crystal.

Others might have crumbled under such a gaze.

But Su Han involuntarily shivered, sneaking a look at Lin Ruoxuan.

"You don’t need to say it. I know."

Lin Ruoxuan clearly sensed Su Han’s emotional shift, then said, "You come from Dragon Martial Star, which is an abandoned planet."

Inside, Su Han felt turbulent waves, but outwardly he maintained a calm demeanor.

He had disguised himself with a mask, living under the name Su Baliu, to cover his past and prevent others from discovering it.

Yet Lin Ruoxuan here seemed to know him very well!

"On Dragon Martial Star, there is a powerful sect called the Phoenix Sect, of which you are the Sect Master."

Lin Ruoxuan continued, "Su Baliu is your nickname, but your true name is Su Han. You led the Phoenix Sect, devoting decades to bringing it to the peak of Dragon Martial Star. You are not only a martial path cultivator, but also a mage, an immortal cultivator, and an alchemical grandmaster!"

By now, the shock in Su Han’s heart had been thoroughly suppressed.

When he looked at Lin Ruoxuan, a cold glint appeared in his eyes.

"I’m not threatening you."

Lin Ruoxuan pursed her lips and said, "I have an old acquaintance, a powerful mage. Decades ago, she came from Dragon Martial Star to a lower-class star region."

"From her mouth, Su Han, Su Baliu, was a man of extraordinary charm, someone who could dominate an era, yet I cannot see it in you."

"Your appearance is different from the man she described."

"An old acquaintance? A woman? From decades ago?!"

Su Han abruptly stood up, staring at Lin Ruoxuan.

"If you can tell me her name, then I’ll believe you are Su Han." Lin Ruoxuan smiled.

Su Han took a deep breath and did not answer but slowly sat back down, saying to Lin Ruoxuan, "Evidence, evidence belonging to that acquaintance, show it to me, and then I’ll answer."

Lin Ruoxuan seemed to have anticipated this, and with a flip of her jade-like hand, a crystal stone appeared—a memory crystal.

Su Han took it, swept it with his divine sense, and his face instantly lit up with joy!

Inside the memory crystal, the woman present was... Xiang’er!

She seemed to be facing the memory crystal, recounting bits and pieces belonging to Su Han.

In her words, there was a profound admiration for Su Han, along with a hint of regret.

This regret was because, in that battle, Xiang’er was forcibly taken away by the starry guide, Yuj Lin.

She didn’t know the outcome of the war, but she believed that if she hadn’t left, the Phoenix Sect would certainly have won!

...

After a long time, everything in the memory crystal was complete.

Su Han also knew that Lin Ruoxuan truly recognized Xiang’er, and moreover, bore no hostility toward her. It was Xiang’er who entrusted Lin Ruoxuan to wait here for Su Han’s arrival.

"Can you tell me what her name is now?" Lin Ruoxuan’s eyes held a trace of anticipation.

"Xiang’er."

Su Han said calmly, "She is my sister, Xiang’er."

"Wow!"

The light in Lin Ruoxuan’s eyes burst forth brilliantly at that moment.

Her bewitching figure instantly stood up, overwhelmed with emotion, trembling slightly.

"You, you really are... Su Han?" Lin Ruoxuan still found it a bit hard to believe.

The person she had waited over twenty years for had finally arrived?

Due to Xiang’er’s instructions, she had refused all invitations from sects, remaining in the Pill Sect Valley, waiting for Su Han’s arrival.

Xiang’er had once said that given Su Han’s expertise in the alchemy dao, with the Pill Sect Medicine Abyss being so renowned, he would certainly come.

Even if he didn’t, as long as the Phoenix Sect appeared, Lin Ruoxuan would go find him!

No one expected Su Han to truly arrive...

"But your appearance..."

Lin Ruoxuan furrowed her delicate brows once more.

She had another memory crystal, also given by Xiang’er, containing records of Su Han’s appearance.

Su Han pursed his lips, gently swiping his hand across his face, and immediately, his body and features began to change.

The armor vanished, the bronze skin faded, the burly physique dissipated, and the ugly countenance disappeared!

What emerged was an exceedingly handsome face.

Clad in snow-white robes, with three thousand strands of dark hair cascading down his back, compared to his previous appearance, it was as different as heaven and earth.

Su Han’s looks couldn’t be called handsome, but compared to his previous visage, he was now undeniably striking.

And the rugged aura of the previous great Han was extremely wild and unpalatable.

But now, with that slender frame, those eyes black as stars, he resembled a scholar, making others instinctively want to draw near.

Lin Ruoxuan was momentarily speechless...

It wasn’t because Su Han was so handsome, but because the change was so drastic.

"Stop staring."

Su Han slightly smiled, waving his hand in front of Lin Ruoxuan’s face.

Lin Ruoxuan immediately snapped back, a blush blooming on her beautiful face, as she shyly lowered her head.

"In your imagination, I should look like this, right?" Su Han laughed.

"No, not in my memory, it was Sister Xiang’er who said..." Lin Ruoxuan spoke softly, almost in a whisper.

"Indeed, this is my true appearance, but what I need to do will offend many, so I must disguise it this way."

As Su Han spoke, he transformed back into the guise of the great Han.

Lin Ruoxuan immediately showed disappointment, as the scholarly-looking Su Han was someone she hadn’t had a chance to admire enough...
