The other members of the Lin clan quickly came over and bowed to Bai Ying.

"Young friend Bai Ying, this is Lin Xiang's fault. I hope you won't hold it against him."

As they spoke, the group quickly pulled Lin Xiang away with them.

Lin Xiang was furious on the way back. He immediately went to find the Lin clan patriarch after he got back.

Although the ancestor was recuperating from his injuries, he was already at the Nascent Soul stage. If he were to deal with Bai Ying, he would surely kill her!

Lin Xiang embellished the story, describing Bai Ying in an extremely bad light, making it seem as if Bai Ying had deliberately tricked them and was ambushed by the golden dragon.

But after he had talked so much that his throat was dry, the Lin family patriarch slapped him across the face and shouted:

"What did you say? You actually called off that marriage?"

Lin Xiang covered his face, which turned bright red.

He hadn't expected the Lin family patriarch's attention to be on his marriage to Bai Ying. He gritted his teeth and said:

"That Bai Ying is arrogant and conceited, and with that kind of personality, it's no wonder that Yuan'er doesn't like her."

I don't want a daughter-in-law like that either. Besides, Brahma is already dead; even his soul has vanished completely. Why should we keep that promise? This marriage can be called off whenever we want!

Lin Yuan quickly stepped forward to defend his father, "Ancestor, I'm not familiar with Bai Ying at all. I don't know her at all. I don't want to marry someone I don't even know! That's why Father and the others agreed to my annulment of the engagement."

The Lin family patriarch was absolutely furious with his descendants!

"Foolish! You bunch of idiots, you're all so foolish!"

These bastards have never seen the Brahma Immortal Venerable and don't know how powerful he is, but he does!

This marriage arrangement is far more complicated than they thought!

"Brahma Immortal Venerable's alchemy skills are unparalleled, not only in the entire Central Continent, but probably also among the best in the world. Not to mention he also has a spirit herb garden, which collects all kinds of spirit herbs that you have never seen before. Just being able to obtain these is enough to make people envious."

Not to mention that he was personally chosen as the successor by the Celestial Venerable Brahma! You have no idea how discerning the Celestial Venerable Brahma is! He didn't even take a liking to Murong Jin, so anyone he chooses must be a prodigy! He'll definitely grow up to be a prodigy soon!

This marriage arrangement seems to suggest that the Heavenly Venerable Brahma has entrusted our Lin clan to protect his heir. But in reality, we are the ones who benefit the most!

"The benefits of marrying into such a family are immeasurable!"

The more the Lin family patriarch thought about it, the angrier he became, and even his speech became faster.

"And you just said she can refine dragon horns!"

I tell you, even I, who have lived in this world for nearly two thousand years, have never heard of a dragon's soul being found within its remains. Nor have I ever heard of anyone being able to refine magical artifacts using dragon horns!

The Lin family patriarch initially intended to simply use the dragon horns as magical artifacts without refining them. Alternatively, he could refine them slightly to enhance the golden dragon's power by one-tenth.

But unexpectedly, this girl named Bai Ying was able to refine the dragon horn into a real magical artifact! And she could unleash its full potential. Heaven knows how terrifying she is!

Her weapon-forging skills have probably reached their pinnacle!

"Being able to start a fire and forge weapons with bare hands is a skill only Nascent Soul stage weapon refiners can perform! She's so young, yet she can do it. I don't even know how much of a help she would be to our Lin family if she married into the family. How could you possibly break off the engagement with someone like that?"

The Lin family patriarch was furious.

His words made the Lin family members present turn pale and then red.

They were now filled with deep regret, and even Lin Yuan stared blankly at the Lin family patriarch.

Actually, after seeing Bai Ying's performance, he no longer disliked her as much, and even secretly admired her.

Now, after hearing his ancestor's words, he felt an indescribable sense of loss.

Although Bai Ying had already rejected the arranged marriage, he still felt that if he hadn't broken off the engagement, he might still have married Bai Ying.

At this time, the sect leader of Huayang Sect returned to Huayang Sect with Ruan Xinrou in a dejected manner.

He brought Ruan Xinrou to Qin Hua Zhenren and began to hurl insults at him.

"What kind of disciple did you take on?!"

The sect leader of Huayang was furious.

Thinking about Ruan Xinrou's performance, I also thought about Bai Ying's performance.

He was so angry he almost fainted.

Heaven knows how much envy, jealousy, and hatred he felt when he saw Bai Ying display such formidable skills.

Those are clearly disciples of their Huayang Sect!

His fingers clenched into a fist.

He could only console himself that at least they didn't suffer as heavy a loss as the Lin clan.

And he also has Xiao Yu.

As long as Xiao Yu is there, he is not afraid that Bai Ying will not come back.

Where is Xiao Yu?

He shouted to the people around him, "Quickly call Xiao Yu over here."

But after searching around, no one could find Xiao Yu.

No matter who tries to contact Xiao Yu using a communication talisman, they cannot reach him.

The sect leader summoned Xiao Yu's servants and asked them about Xiao Yu's whereabouts.

The servants all shook their heads, saying only, "Xiao Xianjun said that he would kill the Crimson Dragon with the White Fairy of the Lingxiao Sect, and then he never appeared again."

Upon hearing the words "Red Flood Dragon," Ruan Xinrou exclaimed in surprise, "Xiao Yu went to kill the Red Flood Dragon too!"

"Yes! It was Fairy Bai who told him that if he wanted to kill the Crimson Dragon, he should prepare some speed-traveling talismans. He prepared a lot for that. Then he went out."

Yesterday, Ruan Xinrou was preparing for today's weapon-refining competition and had no time to pay attention to anything else. She only contacted Xiao Yu briefly, but when she couldn't reach him, she thought something had happened and he hadn't seen the communication talisman. She didn't think much of it, but she never expected that Xiao Yu would disappear.

Thinking that she hadn't been able to contact Xiao Yu yesterday, and that he had gone to the Chishui Forest to hunt the Crimson Dragon, Ruan Xinrou's face instantly turned pale, and then grew paler and paler.

She had always found it strange.

She clearly disemboweled Bai Ying... She not only took away Bai Ying's spiritual root, but also stole her golden core.

But why is Bai Ying still perfectly unharmed and standing right in front of me?

It wasn't until Xiao Yu suddenly disappeared that Ruan Xinrou realized something was wrong.

She glanced at the red dragon trapped in her storage bag with her divine sense. Seeing its dying state, she felt a chill run down her spine.

This crimson dragon...could it be Xiao Yu?
