Chapter 2292: Sun Rouxi(2)

"You know, I have heard a lot about you from my husband," Ren Xia continued.

Sun Rouxi raised an eyebrow, her eyes flickering with intrigue. "Oh? What does he say about me?"

"He said you were always nagging at him." Ren Xia chuckled. "That you made his life in the Immortal Monastery more difficult than it had to be."

Sun Rouxi shook her head with a bittersweet smile and replied, "If I didn’t nag at him, who would? He was always getting into trouble, acting recklessly and without a care for his life."

"So he was like that as a disciple, too, huh? I thought it was something he picked up after he left the sect." Ren Xia remarked with a surprised look on her face.

"It was a habit of his to belittle himself, calling himself talentless and whatnot. And because of his lack of talent, he would constantly push himself to the brink of death. I have lost count of how many times I had to save him."

Sun Rouxi glared at Ren Xia and asked, "What do you like about that brat, anyway? Aren’t you a young lady of the Immortal Clans?"

Ren Xia chuckled and replied, "It’s precisely his recklessness that I love."

She narrowed her eyes slightly and continued, "And you? What was it about him that made you keep an eye on him? Disciples getting into trouble happens all the time, yet you specifically decided to pay special attention to him."

Sun Rouxi lifted her head to stare at the empty ceiling. After a moment of silence, she muttered, "I wonder."

"What?" Ren Xia raised an eyebrow.

Sun Rouxi continued with a profound smile, "If you think about it, there’s really nothing truly special about Tian Yang as a disciple. If you saw him in a crowd, he was just like any other disciple, completely ordinary. While his recklessness is on another level, he wasn’t the only disciple desperate for improvement. I see them almost daily. However, there was just something about him that I couldn’t ignore, and I am still trying to figure out the cause even to this day."

"That sounds like love at first sight," Ren Xia chuckled.

"What?" Sun Rouxi looked at her with wide eyes, almost as if she couldn’t believe her ears.

She then spoke, "I may not understand why I was attracted to him, but I can say with certainty that it wasn’t such emotions. I just got this feeling that I couldn’t leave him alone."

"I was only joking." Ren Xia shook her head with a smile.

"If you don’t mind me asking... Why was someone like you working as a sect elder at the Immortal Monastery? You’re a member of the Three Pillars of Heaven, right? With your qualifications, you could even ask to be its sect leader, let alone a sect elder."

"Sorry, but I cannot tell you the reason. However, I can tell you that nobody at the sect was aware of my true background, as that would’ve defeated my purpose for being there in the first place."

’So she was in a situation where she had to keep her background hidden, huh?’ Ren Xia thought to herself.

As someone from a privileged background, she could think of several reasons why Sun Rouxi had to conceal her identity.

While Ren Xia and Sun Rouxi continued their conversation, Tian Yang spoke with Kulas.

"So the Three Pillars of Heaven have business with me, huh? Well, I had already anticipated something like this when I heard they would show up."

"Do you mind speaking with one of them right now? She’s..." Tian Yang explained the whole situation to Kulas.

"What? Elder Sun?" Kulas’ eyes widened with surprise at the news. "To think you’d meet her by chance... this is more than mere coincidence. It must be fate."

"Alright, I’ll meet with her," he agreed.

Tian Yang returned to tell Sun Rouxi of Kulas’ approval and brought her to meet him.

Some time later...

"It’s an honor to meet you, Giant Emperor." Sun Rouxi politely greeted him.

"You can drop the formality." Kulas casually waved dismissively. "You may not remember, but this is actually our second meeting."

"Oh? Where and when did we last meet?" Sun Rouxi asked.

"Here, on this continent. Right before the opening of Han Zexian’s Tomb. Moments after you spoke with my dear friend."

"Then you’re..." Sun Rouxi immediately recalled Kulas’ words to her on that day.

Kulas silently nodded in confirmation.

"You should’ve seen his face afterward." Kulas laughed out loud. "It had nothing but guilt all over it."

Hearing such words, Sun Rouxi subconsciously shifted her gaze to Tian Yang, who was sighing as he rubbed his eyes.

"Anyway, why did you want to meet with me?"

"The Three Pillars of Heaven has something they would like to discuss with you, and I wanted to see if we could schedule a meeting." 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

"Schedule a meeting? You’re more reserved than I expected. I was anticipating the Three Pillars of Heaven to simply walk in here and demand an audience like they own the place." Kulas remarked with a smile.

"To be honest, they’ll likely do that if you refuse."

Kulas then said, "Since you’re already here, why don’t you tell me what the Three Pillars of Heaven want from me?"

Sun Rouxi shook her head and explained, "I may have come here with them, but I am not part of the discussion, so I don’t know what business they have with you."
