Su Yu's words struck Liu Qingyue's heart like a thunderbolt.
He was completely stunned.
Liu Qingyue had already forgotten about the betting agreement.
When he was practicing martial arts with Bai Ying, he never thought he would lose, so he didn't really think he would never see her again.
Unexpectedly, this treaty has now actually come into effect...
Will he never be able to appear in front of Bai Ying again?
Liu Qingyue's face instantly lost all color.
However, when he thought about what he had done these past few days, and how he had been plotting against Bai Ying, he felt that it was inevitable that Bai Ying would make such a choice.
No one would forgive someone who has always tried so hard to help them for treating them this way.
So now, Bai Ying really wants to get away from him and never see him again.
Liu Qingyue squatted on the ground in pain, clutching her hair with her hands.
He, a proud and arrogant man who never bowed his head, was now squatting on the ground, sobbing.

When Ruan Xinrou heard from the system that Liu Qingyue had not only lost to Bai Ying but had also been seriously injured and was now crippled, she was furious.
Unlike the gentle and charming image she presented to everyone, she was now pacing back and forth in the room with a ferocious expression.
"Liu Qingyue is really a good-for-nothing. He can't even handle such a simple thing. Not only did he let Bai Ying shine, but he also crippled himself."
Ruan Xinrou was utterly speechless; she had previously thought so highly of Liu Qingyue.
But she had no choice but to visit him, since visiting him at this time would be like sending charcoal in snowy weather, and would make him more supportive of her.
Ruan Xinrou was still hoping that his goodwill would bring her some luck.
Thinking it over, Ruan Xinrou spoke to the cultivator guarding her and asked the sect leader to let her see her third senior brother, otherwise she would not be able to eat or sleep peacefully.
The sect leader agreed to the request and instructed those people that she could visit for an hour.
When Ruan Xinrou arrived at Liu Qingyue's residence, Liu Qingyue was lying on the bed like a dead person.
His face was extremely pale, and he no longer looked like a cultivator; instead, he resembled a withered tree.
Without Bai Ying's care, Liu Qingyue's spiritual root had lost all vitality and began to gradually dry up.
He lay in bed, experiencing, little by little, the entire process of how he gradually transformed from a cultivator into a mortal.
My heart was filled with fear and dread.
Liu Qingyue has been a cultivator for so many years, and he has never regarded mortals as human beings. He considers it shameful to be with mortals, which is why he felt that Bai Ying, who was selling things in the mortal market, was embarrassing.
But he never imagined that one day he himself would become an ordinary person.
The more Liu Qing thought about it, the more frightened she became, and even her dreams were all nightmares about becoming a mortal.
When he saw Ruan Xinrou who had come to visit him, his cloudy eyes brightened.
"Junior Sister, have you come to see me? Weren't you locked up?"
"Third Senior Brother, I was worried about you, so I specially applied to the Sect Leader to come and see you."
Liu Qingyue's eyes were full of emotion, and he looked at Ruan Xinrou with obvious hesitation.
Actually, even if Ruan Xinrou hadn't come today, he would have gone to see her anyway.
These past two days, Liu Qingyue has been considering something. He wouldn't have brought it up unless he had absolutely no other choice.
Ruan Xinrou was telling Liu Qingyue how worried she was about him, and how she wished she could take his pain away from him.
At this moment, she suddenly heard Liu Qingyue say, "Junior Sister, my spiritual root is having problems. Could you transfer some of your power to me to help me repair it?"
Liu Qingyue truly couldn't bear to part with his junior sister, and it took him a long internal struggle to say those words.
He knew that his junior sister's cultivation level was not high, and it would be too difficult for her to help him.
But he really had no other choice.
Liu Qingyue said with difficulty, "Just a little bit of power is enough. My spiritual root is starting to dry up without the support of spiritual energy. If this continues, I will become a mortal... Just a little bit is enough to maintain the cultivation of my spiritual root."
He couldn't even bear to let Ruan Xinrou help him like Bai Ying had helped him.
Unexpectedly, after hearing what Liu Qingyue said, Ruan Xinrou did not immediately agree, but instead stood up helplessly.
She stammered:
"Senior brother, I... I'm only at the Qi Refining stage myself, and my cultivation isn't good enough to help you."
After saying this, she walked directly towards the door. "Senior brother, the time the sect leader gave me is up. I have to go back. Take good care of yourself, and I'll come to see you again next time."
After saying that, she left without looking back.
Liu Qingyue was stunned on the spot.
He never expected Ruan Xinrou to do this.
She had no intention of helping him whatsoever. Seeing his current wretched state, she simply turned and left without looking back!
The sect leader said her time was up. He had just heard the guards watching over him say that she could visit him for an hour, but now she had only said a few words and left!
His heart sank suddenly, as if he had been thrown into an ice cellar, chilling him to the bone.
That's why he repeatedly went against Bai Ying, all for the sake of someone like her!
Liu Qingyue was so desperate that she bent over and burst into laughter, but tears fell from her eyes.
He's a complete idiot. An idiot so stupid he couldn't be stupider!

"Are you really not going to help Liu Qingyue?"
The system's voice rang in Ruan Xinrou's consciousness, and it felt that this was a good opportunity to gain Liu Qingyue's favor.
"What's the point of me helping him? He's already a cripple. Even if I go to great lengths to repair his spiritual root this time, I'll lose more than I gain. Besides, you know this is a long-term issue, not something that can be fixed in one go. Only a fool like Bai Ying would help him without considering the consequences. Who would do such a bad deal?"
The system thought about it and agreed.
"Then you need to work harder. Bai Ying's luck as the female lead has been taken back by her. After defeating Liu Qingyue, she gained a lot of fans. You need to step up your game too. You can't just sit here and wait to die. You need to go out and shine like her. Make everyone like you even more."
The system said that Ruan Xinrou didn't want to, but she was only at the Qi Refining stage, not even at the Foundation Establishment stage.
How could she possibly gain everyone's favor through her abilities like Bai Ying?
Ruan Xinrou frowned deeply: "My cultivation level is not high."
"Don't worry, your fourth senior brother Yan Chiling will soon finish his seclusion. You can ask him for help then."
Ruan Xinrou's eyes lit up when she heard the system mention her fourth senior brother.
"Great! Fourth Senior Brother has finally finished his seclusion."
