Chapter 114 I like him!

The phrase "Master Dugu" exploded in Liu Ruxuan's ears, leaving them all bewildered. Why did Ye Jingzhang and Gong Yunxuan call him "Master Dugu"?

Ye Jingzhang noticed Ye Li and the others' unusual behavior, and looked at everyone with a puzzled expression, then at Dugu Juechen: "What? You all came together, don't you know each other?"

Before Liu Ruxuan could speak, Ye Liuli asked, "Aren't you called Gong Yunxuan?"

"Gong Yunxuan?" Ye Jingzhang repeated, "That's a good name too. However, Master Dugu, since you're befriending my son, shouldn't you treat him with sincerity?"

"Your Majesty is right. Juechen will naturally treat you with sincerity." Dugu Juechen said with a smile.

Leaving the world behind?

Dugu Juechen?

Gong Yunxuan?

His name is not Gong Yunxuan, but Dugu Juechen.

Liu Ruxuan's beautiful brows furrowed, and her heart ached involuntarily: If she hadn't come to the Nine Ze Continent today, if she hadn't gone to the Ye family's palace today, how long would Dugu Juechen have kept it from her?

"Are you Dugu Juechen, the leader of the Heavenly Spirit Sect?" Xi Yue asked in surprise.

Dugu Juechen glanced at Xiyue but didn't answer her; he was more concerned about Liu Ruxuan. He saw a hint of resentment in Liu Ruxuan's eyes, and his heart ached as if it were being ripped apart.

"Yes, back then, it was Master Dugu who saved my life," Ye Jingzhang said with a smile.

Liu Ruxuan didn't hear a word they said afterward. Seeing that Liu Ruxuan was out of sorts, Ye Liuli told Ye Jingzhang and took Liu Ruxuan and Xiyue to her palace.

Ye Liuli and Liu Ruxuan sat in the pavilion, with Xiyue waiting beside them. Ye Liuli asked with concern, "Ruxuan, are you alright?"

"I'm fine." Liu Ruxuan's usual radiance was gone.

"You said you were fine, but look at you, so distracted. What's wrong? Is it because of Dugu Juechen?" Ye Liuli saw right through Liu Ruxuan's thoughts. Liu Ruxuan looked at the scenery in the distance: "Liuli, if someone won't even tell you their real name, would you still associate with them?"

"Hehe, it really is for him, Ruxuan. Don't overthink it. Maybe he has good intentions!"

"What good intentions could there be? It's just a huge lie."

Ye Liuli stared intently at Liu Ruxuan's face and asked again, "Ruxuan, do you like Dugu Juechen?"

"No, no, I... how could I like him!" Liu Ruxuan didn't even realize that her eyes were now filled with panic.

"Stop deceiving yourself, you do like him!" Ye Liuli said, getting up and walking behind Liu Ruxuan. She whispered in Liu Ruxuan's ear, "And he—likes you too!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Ruxuan didn't know how to refute Ye Liuli.

Ye Liuli glanced at Dugu Juechen approaching from afar, then quietly gestured to Xiyue, and left with her. Dugu Juechen slowly walked up behind Liu Ruxuan, who hadn't yet noticed the change in person: "Liuli, don't speak well of him. I won't like him, how could I possibly..."

Before Liu Ruxuan could finish speaking, she heard the person behind her say, "But I like you."

Liu Ruxuan suddenly stood up and turned to look at Dugu Juechen: "You... why are you here? Where is Liuli?"

"Xuan girl, are you blaming me?" Dugu Juechen seemed somewhat disappointed.

"No, no, why would I blame you?!" Liu Ruxuan tried her best to hide her feelings.

“Xuan’er, I didn’t mean to lie to you. I was afraid that if I told you my real identity, you would distance yourself from me.”

Indeed, if Liu Ruxuan had known Dugu Juechen's true identity from the beginning, would she still have become close to him?
