The Huayang Sect Master thought for a moment and then said, "Bai Ying is just angry because she hates that she can't have the one she loves, so she's angry with you. But she actually likes you. I've heard everything that happened between you two in the Shadow Valley trial. If Bai Ying didn't like you, why would she help you when the spirit ape attacked you and tried to kill you all, and kill the spirit ape for you?"

Why did she refuse such a good marriage offer from the Celestial Venerable Brahma? Isn't it because she has feelings for you?

Xiao Yu! Bai Ying has been waiting for you all along! All she wants is for you to take the initiative and show her care and love. Then she will definitely be completely smitten with you.

At this age, which of these female cultivators isn't consumed by love and romance? The moment a man shows them even the slightest kindness, they'll run off with him!

The Huayang Sect Master spoke with absolute certainty, and even Xiao Yu felt a surge of excitement at his words. It was as if Bai Ying was truly saying one thing but meaning another, and that she still harbored feelings for him.

He was indeed thinking, "Yes! Countless people would fight tooth and nail for a marriage with the Lin family, but Bai Ying rejected it so decisively. Could it be that she really has feelings for me?"

Xiao Yu's heart was pounding as he listened to what the Huayang Sect Master said. He glanced at Ruan Xinrou and saw that she looked perfectly normal, which made him secretly happy.

Seeing that the two of them agreed to his plan, the Huayang Sect Master was in high spirits. He patted Xiao Yu's shoulder forcefully and said with a smile, "It all depends on you now."

But they had no idea that at that moment, a person was standing outside the door of the room.

Lin Yifei was trembling all over, and his face was deathly pale.

He came here to find his father, but he never expected to overhear such a conversation. These people were actually plotting to deal with his boss!

Lin Yifei simply couldn't believe that his father would have such thoughts.

How could they be so vicious! He always idolized his father, so why has he become like this!

If Bai Ying really does return to Huayang Sect as they say, then what she will face is not a beloved person, but clearly hell on earth!

How could he have trusted Ruan Xinrou so much before? Who would have thought she was so disgusting!

And Xiao Yu, bah, what a hypocrite!

To avoid being discovered, Lin Yifei immediately left the area, running as fast as he could.

As he ran, he took out Bai Ying's communication talisman and spoke into it.

"Boss, don't speak yet, listen to me..."

Lin Yifei quickly told Bai Ying everything he had heard, adding, "You absolutely mustn't fall for Xiao Yu's tricks, don't lose your mind and fall for him again, and go back to Huayang Sect with him!"

Lin Yizhi paused here, then emphasized his words:

"Boss, remember, never go back to Huayang Sect again!"

Lin Yizhi really liked being in the same sect as Bai Ying, as it would make it easier for them to go out on missions together. But now, this was all he could say to her.

Bai Ying almost laughed out of anger at Lin Yifei's words.

"Thank you, Yizhi."

Those guys actually thought she still liked Xiao Yu. If it weren't for Xiao Yu's powerful background and the mysterious old monster behind him, who would bring her a lot of trouble if she killed him, she would have killed that scumbag countless times already!

She killed the spirit ape because the spirit ape wanted to kill her. What did that have to do with Xiao Yu? She didn't attack them proactively because she knew the spirit ape clan would deal with them. There was no need for her to take action. It was just that Xiao Yu was lucky to survive.

As for refusing the marriage proposal from the Lin family, that's even more ridiculous.

She had no intention of marrying in this life, so naturally she didn't need this marriage agreement. They actually thought it was because she still had feelings for Xiao Yu!

Bai Ying's eyes gleamed with a chilling coldness that seemed to freeze the surrounding air. These bastards not only coveted her spirit herb garden, but also wanted to steal her spiritual roots and golden core.

Thinking back to her past life, she was indeed held down by that group of people with ferocious faces, and they ruthlessly cut open her dantian and forcibly took her golden core from it. An indescribable, overwhelming hatred surged in her heart!

She will never forget that heart-wrenching feeling for the rest of her life.

She had gone through countless hardships and dangers to finally cultivate the Golden Core, but they just casually gave it to Ruan Xinrou like an object and pressed it onto her body.

Finally, they shamelessly said that it was just a Golden Core, and there was no need to be so stingy.

Haha, they actually said, "Don't be stingy!"

These bastards, why didn't they give their own golden cores to Ruan Xinrou?

Now they've even set their sights on her golden core again. How could she let them succeed!

-

Xiao Yu did not immediately go to find Bai Ying, but instead focused on cultivating diligently.

His cultivation level was too low. He didn't think he had much of a chance of success if he went to find Bai Ying now. Bai Ying was already in the late stage of the Golden Core realm, and he would have to break through to the early stage of the Golden Core realm before he could go to find her.

He would show Bai Ying that he was no less capable than her.

These days, Xiao Yu has been cultivating desperately, and the sect leader has also given him great support, sending him pills from the sect as if they were free.

He was already at the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment, only one step away from breaking through. With the addition of these pills, he quickly broke through to the Golden Core stage.

When Xiao Yu saw the golden pill appear in his dantian, not only Xiao Yu, but even the sect leader was very excited.

"Very good. Your cultivation speed is even faster than I expected. You broke through to the Golden Core stage in just over a month. Now you can go find Bai Ying with peace of mind."

In order to contact Bai Ying immediately, Xiao Yu specially asked his friend in the Lingxiao Sect to place the letter he had written by hand on Bai Ying's desk.

-

When Bai Ying looked at the letter on her desk, a hint of coldness appeared in her eyes.

It's finally here.

If she hadn't known that these people were plotting against her, she probably would have just thrown the letter away like trash, without even bothering to read it.

But now, she slowly opened it, wanting to see what was written inside.

Bai Ying couldn't help but let out a cold laugh.

Wasn't this bastard trying to scheme against her? She'd play along. She wanted Xiao Yu to experience what it felt like to be ridiculed by everyone in that situation.

Of course, this was just an appetizer. Since he had schemed so much against her golden core, she naturally wouldn't let his golden core go! She would return all his scheming to him!
