As he spoke, Xiao Yuyang proudly displayed his Golden Core stage perfection strength, looking at the group of people in front of him with a provocative gaze.
At such a young age, she had already reached the Great Perfection of the Golden Core stage, and was only one step away from the Nascent Soul stage.
She wanted everyone to know that she was exceptionally talented, that she wanted to amaze everyone here, and that getting engaged to Lin Yuan was the best choice.
And that Bai Ying is almost dead, so she shouldn't get in Lin Yuan's way of happiness!
She thought that everyone around her would rush to praise her because she was already at the Great Perfection of the Golden Core stage at such a young age.
Whenever she appeared on their island, she was met with a chorus of praise. It was already extremely rare to cultivate to the Golden Core stage during such a short holiday, let alone to cultivate to the Great Perfection of the Golden Core stage like she had. It was simply unheard of.
She was incredibly capable. But to Xiao Yuyang's surprise, the people around her remained silent, showing little shock.
What's going on?
Her brows furrowed tightly.
Are all people from Zhongzhou this reserved?
Even if they're surprised, they won't show it?
As soon as Xiao Yuyang finished speaking, an elder from the Dayan Sect behind her stepped forward and bowed to the people from the Lingxiao Sect.
"My young lady isn't very good with words, but your sect's Bai Ying is clearly on the verge of death, yet she refuses to hand over the marriage certificate. Isn't that just too much?"
The people from the Dayan Sect were extremely sharp-tongued, and Lin Yuan's fingers clenched into an awkward fist. He didn't even dare to look up at Bai Ying.
He didn't actually want to come today, but his father and the clan chief forced him to. They all said Bai Ying only had one more day to live. If he didn't get the bamboo marriage certificate back now, he would never be able to marry again after Bai Ying died.
Lin Yuan's expression was also extremely awkward; he didn't know how to talk to Bai Ying about it.
He hadn't expected that the fiancée his family had chosen for him would be so hostile towards Bai Ying from the very beginning.
He still looked up at Bai Ying.
He originally thought that even if Bai Ying was very powerful, she would be extremely haggard with only one day left until her death.
But to his surprise, Bai Ying looked exactly the same as usual. She was still as bright as the stars in the sky.
She didn't look like she was about to die at all, except that her gaze towards me had become colder and more stern.
Lin Yuan stammered:
"Bai Ying, I... I had no choice. I'm sorry. Please return the marriage certificate to me. Otherwise, I won't be able to explain it to our clan."
He tried to speak gently, hoping that Bai Ying would return the marriage certificate to him, but a thought he himself couldn't believe was lurking in his mind.
Deep down, he actually hoped that Bai Ying wouldn't return the marriage certificate...
He hoped that Bai Ying was reluctant to part with him and their engagement, which was why she kept holding onto the marriage certificate and making various excuses not to hand it over.
After saying this, Lin Yuan's breathing became a little rapid.
He really wanted to tell Bai Ying that he had absolutely no feelings for Xiao Yuyang, and that he wouldn't have come with her if Bai Ying hadn't been dying.
Lin Yuan assumed that Bai Ying had held onto the marriage certificate for so long because she had some feelings for him and was unwilling to give it up.
Even if they all pressure her together now, she might not obediently hand it over.
Unexpectedly, Bai Ying said directly:
"I had some things to take care of recently, which is why I haven't returned the marriage certificate to you yet. Actually, I had planned to return it to you a long time ago..."
As she spoke, Bai Ying took out the bamboo slip marriage certificate.
Lin Yuan stared at Bai Ying in disbelief, feeling as if his heart was blocked by something.
He even found it difficult to breathe, and the sense of loss and distress he felt far exceeded his own expectations.
Bai Ying was actually willing to return the marriage certificate to him!
Lin Yuan could only console himself.
Since Bai Ying is going to die anyway, what difference does it make if we don't give it to him?
She's already dead, so no matter what, there's no possibility left for them!
Before Bai Ying could finish speaking, Xiao Yuyang suddenly walked up to her, sneering, "What are you pretending for? You haven't handed over the marriage certificate because you have something else to say? Who would believe that! If we hadn't come to ask you for it today, you would have taken this marriage certificate to your grave! Let me tell you, I despise people like you the most!"
After saying this, Xiao Yuyang suddenly took out his magic weapon and swung it at Bai Ying.
She had heard that Bai Ying was under a curse and would die tomorrow. Although Bai Ying looked no different from a normal person, she was definitely very weak.
She guessed that Bai Ying, who was able to get engaged to Lin Yuan, must also be at the Golden Core stage. Perhaps even the early Golden Core stage.
At such an age, being able to cultivate to the early stage of the Golden Core realm is quite remarkable.
But what good is power if you're incredibly strong? You're already at the Great Perfection of the Golden Core stage, just one step away from the terrifying Nascent Soul stage.
Now she's going to show Bai Ying what she's capable of!
"Let me tell you, don't even think about playing any tricks. You say you'll give the bamboo slip marriage certificate to Lin Yuan, but you're probably still thinking of some excuse! Now that you dare to take out this marriage certificate, it's mine!"
As she spoke, she stepped forward to snatch the marriage certificate from Bai Ying's hand.
Xiao Yuyang had a good plan. She would injure Bai Ying to show her how powerful she was, and then snatch the marriage certificate from her hand to let everyone else see her strength!
Xiao Yuyang was still afraid that the Lingxiao Sect would step forward to help Bai Ying, and he was determined to finish the battle quickly.
She was incredibly fast, still wary of the Lingxiao Sect members, but she didn't expect that they didn't even have the slightest intention of making a move, only planning to deal with Bai Ying herself.
Xiao Yuyang immediately revealed a smug smile; they could only blame themselves for underestimating their opponent.
She slammed the magical artifact in her hand toward Bai Ying, and then she saw Bai Ying draw a sword, intending to cut the artifact in half.
Xiao Yuyang inwardly mocked Bai Ying for being so overconfident, actually daring to try and sever such a top-grade magical artifact. She was going to use her own artifact to severely injure Bai Ying! To show her what she was capable of!
