Chapter 259
“I feel like I suffered internal injuries before, and I just pulled the wound.”
Su Chen’s small face instantly turned white, as if he was really in pain from the wound tearing.
Seeing this, Liu Ruoyan panicked and looked at Su Chen at a loss, her words incoherent: “Then…then what should we do? I have medicine for healing injuries here, do you want to try it?”
Su Chen looked at Liu Ruoyan and said softly: “Those are useless. Come here, this Young Master will tell you what to do.”
Liu Ruoyan hurriedly moved closer, her eyes anxiously looking at Su Chen.
Su Chen waved his hand and directly embraced Liu Ruoyan in his arms.
Liu Ruoyan was caught off guard and felt herself bumping into a firm chest.
“Ah, stop messing around, we’re talking about serious matters. How is your body really?”
Liu Ruoyan looked at Su Chen with exasperation, her eyes filled with a hint of reproach.
“I’m doing this for my own body. When you’re in my arms, I instantly feel much better.”
Su Chen couldn’t help but stroke Liu Ruoyan’s long, black hair, his eyes slightly narrowed, enjoying himself immensely.
At this moment, even the most foolish person would know that Su Chen was deliberately teasing her. Liu Ruoyan couldn’t help but glare at him with puffed cheeks.
Su Chen chuckled, knowing that if he continued to provoke Liu Ruoyan, she would explode. Only then did he start talking about serious matters: “The Qingyun Alliance is undergoing major restructuring now. Shi Zhengxiong is dead, and they have lost their backbone.”
“Aren’t there still two elders left?”
Liu Ruoyan frowned, her eyes filled with worry.
The Fourth Elder and the Fifth Elder had rarely been involved in matters before. Now that this situation had arisen, they really didn’t know what to do for a while.
Liu Ruoyan began to worry about Su Chen.
“I plan to nominate you as the Alliance Leader and let the two elders assist you.”
Su Chen said slowly.
Hearing this, Liu Ruoyan first looked at Su Chen with disbelief. Seeing that his expression was not fake, she slowly said: “But with my current cultivation level, I don’t think it’s appropriate. They may not be convinced. I think Luo Shen would be more suitable.”
After speaking, Liu Ruoyan looked at Su Chen seriously.
She naturally knew that Su Chen’s words meant that he recognized her.
But she had to consider the overall situation. In terms of reason and emotion, it was somewhat inappropriate for her to be the Alliance Leader.
Similarly, during the past few days, she had been helping Luo Shen and had seen her outstanding abilities. Moreover, she couldn’t even tell how deep Luo Shen’s cultivation was.
But to be able to stay by Su Chen’s side and gain his trust, her cultivation and strength must be considerable.
Thinking of this, Liu Ruoyan’s eyes showed a hint of determination, as if she had made a significant decision.
“I’m still not suitable. I think Luo Shen is really capable. These past few days, she has been managing almost all the affairs of the Qingyun Alliance, and she’s very formidable.”
Liu Ruoyan said slowly.
Su Chen just laughed twice when he heard this and didn’t directly answer her question.
He naturally understood what Liu Ruoyan was worried about.
“No one knows the Qingyun Alliance better than you, and as the Saintess of the sect, you also have the trust of many people.”
Su Chen stroked Liu Ruoyan’s head with a hint of comfort. “Cultivation is not the most important thing in managing a sect. I think the most important thing should be a person’s character.”
Liu Ruoyan’s pupils dilated, clearly taking his words to heart.
“Think about Shi Zhengxiong. Although his cultivation was profound and had reached the peak of the Quasi-Emperor Realm, he was evil and did many unconscionable things, which is why he was overthrown.”
Su Chen continued to guide her patiently.
“Mm.”
Liu Ruoyan nodded slightly, feeling that Su Chen’s words made sense. “I’m happy that you trust me, but this position should be filled by the most capable person. Luo Shen is not only strong in cultivation but also upright in character. She is more suitable for this position than me.”

“Silly girl, both this Young Master and Luo Shen have always thought that you are the most suitable to be the Alliance Leader.”
Su Chen tapped Liu Ruoyan’s head and said with a smile, “Don’t decline anymore. This was Luo Shen’s personal suggestion. Would you have the heart to refuse her kindness?”
Liu Ruoyan couldn’t help but think of Luo Shen and immediately shook her head like a rattle-drum.
“If you really feel that your cultivation is low, you can intensify your cultivation in your spare time. I have a few cultivation techniques here that are suitable for you, as well as cultivation methods that will yield twice the result with half the effort. By then, no one will be able to find fault with you.”
Su Chen took out a few cultivation techniques from his storage ring and handed them to Liu Ruoyan.
Since things had come to this point, it would be hypocritical for Liu Ruoyan to refuse any further.
She was very grateful that Su Chen recognized her. After all, when Su Chen first came here, it was mostly him and Green Vine who handled everything.
And she was completely like a mascot, doing nothing.
But she was never the type to be a delicate little wife. She also longed to be independent and strong and wanted to contribute to Su Chen.
Now that Su Chen had given her this opportunity, she must cherish it and not let him down.
Thinking of this, Liu Ruoyan was filled with motivation.
“Thank you, Young Master.”
Liu Ruoyan’s beautiful eyes were filled with a layer of mist, but her eyes were sparkling.
“As for the cultivation method, it’s a bit special. You must not tell anyone. I will teach it to you secretly.”
Su Chen chuckled, looking at Liu Ruoyan with immense fondness.
As soon as Liu Ruoyan heard this, the expression on her face instantly became serious.
She leaned closer, very close to Su Chen. She could even see the fine hairs on her face glowing in the light. She was already fair-skinned, but now she was even more radiant.
“That is…” Su Chen paused for effect.
Liu Ruoyan’s eyes became even more eager.
“Dual Cultivation!”
As soon as he finished speaking, before Liu Ruoyan could react, Su Chen directly lifted her horizontally.
Liu Ruoyan’s body was lifted into the air, and she let out a small cry of surprise, quickly wrapping her arms tightly around Su Chen’s neck.
“You’re bullying me again.”
Liu Ruoyan glared at Su Chen, her eyes filled with a mixture of embarrassment and anger, her small face flushed red.
“I’m telling the truth. I have the Yang Flame Body, you know that. Dual cultivating with me will yield twice the result with half the effort. Coupled with the cultivation techniques I gave you, your progress will definitely be rapid.”
Su Chen laughed directly, his eyebrows carrying a hint of a carefree and roguish air.
But it didn’t seem obscene; it just made him seem very interesting.
When Liu Ruoyan heard this, she realized it was indeed the case. It was indeed a viable method.
These past few days, when she dual cultivated with Su Chen, she also felt that the spiritual energy within her body was becoming increasingly pure.
Thinking of this, she simply stopped talking and buried her face in Su Chen’s chest.
Su Chen directly carried Liu Ruoyan to the bed and gently placed her on it.
“What should I do now?”
Liu Ruoyan looked at Su Chen nervously, her movements stiff.
