In Yue Qingqing’s memory, Li Ruyun was a pretty girl whose features were somewhat similar to her own.
But having not seen her for years, she had not expected Li Ruyun to have changed completely.
Perhaps because her features had matured, they were now quite different from before.
Her eyes were slightly upturned, adding a seductive quality when she looked at people.
Despite being younger than her, Li Ruyun dressed in a mature fashion, not at all resembling a high school girl.
She looked instead like——
Jun Feifei pursed her lips, "That’s how she is now, hanging out like a little delinquent, she’s notorious for skipping classes."
Yue Qingqing stared in surprise, sensing an aura of an evil cultivator about Li Ruyun.
In her previous life, Yue Qingqing had seen many evil cultivators with such an appearance.
At the moment, Li Ruyun was talking to a man next to her, who intentionally leaned in close and breathed into her ear.
Li Ruyun gave a sideways glance and chuckled softly, her tongue lightly licking her crimson lips.
It was unsettling to watch from a distance.
Qu Ruorui muttered softly, "If she was back then, I never would have mixed her up with Qingqing."
Yue Qingqing felt something was off and wanted to use spiritual energy to probe but worried about startling the snake in the grass.
She had heard that Zhuancheng harbored some evil cultivators. Could it be that some of them had come into contact with Li Ruyun?
Perhaps because they had been staring for too long, Li Ruyun seemed to feel it and raised her eyebrows in their direction.
Her gaze swept over and landed on Yue Qingqing.
Yue Qingqing felt a chill all over, sensing the coolness as spiritual energy passed through her.
Ordinary people would not notice such a sensation; only a fellow cultivator could perceive it.
But Yue Qingqing’s cultivation base was much higher than Li Ruyun’s, and after sensing it, she quickly gathered her energy and focused, pretending to notice nothing.
Li Ruyun, feeling nothing abnormal, naturally regarded everyone across from her as ordinary people.
Yet, when she looked again at Yue Qingqing, she couldn’t help feeling a sense of superiority.
In her eyes, Yue Qingqing seemed as weak as an insect, easily crushed with a simple touch.
Back in the day, she had been jealous of this girl who resembled her and stood out, but now Li Ruyun felt they were not even on the same level.
This sweep, however, revealed something else to Li Ruyun.
Qu Ruorui suddenly gripped Yue Qingqing’s arm tightly, and Wei Rong was also startled.
Jun Feifei stammered, "Why, why is she coming over here?"
Could she have heard their conversation?
That’s impossible, from such a distance.
Li Ruyun walked step by step toward Yue Qingqing, her spiritual energy brazenly sweeping over her entire body.
This, even in her past life, was an act of serious provocation.
Yue Qingqing held her ground, just wanting to see what the other party intended to do.
Li Ruyun approached and curled her red lips into a smug smile.
"Do you remember me?"
Yue Qingqing hummed in acknowledgment, and Li Ruyun suddenly moved closer, her nose almost touching Yue Qingqing’s cheek.
"We really must be fated to meet again," said Li Ruyun.
Yue Qingqing subtly stepped back, while Jun Feifei and the others frowned, unsure what Li Ruyun was up to.
Li Ruyun squinted, examining Yue Qingqing with a penetrating gaze.
She felt a connection of blood.
From the first time she saw Yue Qingqing, Li Ruyun had her suspicions about her identity.
For this, she even got close to that fool Yue Xiaohu.
Unfortunately, it led to nothing.
But this time, as Li Ruyun’s spiritual energy swept over Yue Qingqing, she felt a pulse in her veins, as if responding to something.
However, since Li Ruyun had not been in this sect for long and her spiritual sense was much inferior to Yue Qingqing’s, she could only sense a few signs but was unable to confirm anything completely.
Therefore, she wanted to get closer, hoping to discover something.
