Bai Ying was taken aback, not expecting Gu Qingzhou to say such a thing to her.
Bai Ying almost burst out laughing. She said sarcastically:
"Why would I fantasize about a scumbag, especially one who's so weak! If you ask me, I'd better keep Xiao Yu and Ruan Xinrou out of my sight, or I won't be polite to them. They don't deserve to be in front of me; they're an eyesore!"
After saying this, Bai Ying resolutely turned and left. She was simply insane to stop and listen to such nonsense. From now on, if any of the Huayang Sect members tried to talk to her again, she would ignore them completely, or she would be utterly disgusted. Bai Ying didn't even want to look at those two again.
However, Gu Qingzhou was also quite angry at Bai Ying's words.
"When did Xiao Yu become a scumbag? Bai Ying, that bastard, actually said Xiao Yu was weak? And that she wouldn't be polite to Ruan Xinrou and Xiao Yu?"
This guy is really delusional. He's so lost in his own dreams that he doesn't even know his own limitations.
Gu Qingzhou muttered to herself angrily:
Ruan Xinrou and Xiao Yu are the cream of the crop among the younger generation in the sect. Even the sect leader's son is not as good as them.
Such a genius is weak, Bai Ying said.
This is just sour grapes! She's only at the early Foundation Establishment stage herself. How dare she say such a thing?
Gu Qingzhou grew angrier the more she thought about it, and she caught up with Bai Ying and grabbed her.
"I know you like Xiao Yu, but it's really impossible for you two to be together."
"Alright, I can introduce you to some promising young men. They may not be as good as Xiao Yu, but they're more than a match for you."
As he spoke, Gu Qingzhou reluctantly read out the names of a large number of disciples from the sect to Bai Ying.
These people are all of mediocre talent. At most, they can only reach the Foundation Establishment stage in their lifetime. Even the possibility of breaking through to the Golden Core stage is extremely slim.
He felt that Bai Ying was already climbing too high for him.
"How about Lu Xiuyuan and Yang Yu? I think they're quite good. They're already in the mid-Foundation Establishment stage. They're more than enough for you, who's only in the early Foundation Establishment stage. If you agree, I can talk to them. Maybe one of them will want you."
Bai Ying's fingers were clenched into fists.
Lu Xiuyuan is already in his sixties. Although he's not considered old among cultivators, he's old enough to be Bai Ying's grandfather. He's still stuck at the Foundation Establishment stage at this age, and it seems he'll only ever reach that level. As for Yang Yu, he's even worse. He's a notorious playboy in the sect, able to date several female cultivators simultaneously. He often wins them over and then dumps them.
"Enough! Why don't you find someone like that?"
Gu Qingzhou said speechlessly, "I'm not like you, so obsessed with Xiao Yu. I'm just afraid you'll ruin things between him and Ruan Xinrou."
"Don't worry, I will never ruin things between them! I even hope they stay locked up forever."
Seeing that Gu Qingzhou was trying to pull her again, Bai Ying shook him off.
"Do I need to say one more thing? I've disliked Xiao Yu for a long time, I'm utterly disgusted by him now, and I look down on everyone in your Huayang Sect. And you, please don't speak to me again. I've already severed all ties with the Huayang Sect!"
Bai Ying turned around, pulled Yuan Shijie along, and immediately left.
Xiao Yu was still staring at Bai Ying when she saw her leave with a cold face.
Xiao Yu felt a wave of disappointment wash over her.
He had been looking at Bai Ying, trying to see a trace of lingering affection for her in her eyes.
But Bai Ying didn't even glance at him until she left.
Xiao Yu walked somewhat forlornly to Gu Qingzhou's side.
"What did you just say to her? I saw she was a little angry when she left."
Gu Qingzhou sneered:
"She's still angry? I'm just telling her to stay away from you. That woman is a toad trying to eat swan meat. Doesn't she even know if she's good enough for you?"
Xiao Yu's eyes widened, and her heart suddenly started pounding.
He hurriedly said to Gu Qingzhou, "She's angry and won't let her near me?"
Could it be that Bai Ying still has feelings for him?
"No, she went too far. She said she looked down on everyone in our Huayang Sect. She even had the audacity to say that you would offend her eyes. It's clearly her who's been chasing after you... that guy."
The flame that had just ignited in Xiao Yu's heart was instantly extinguished.
His expression was one of utter desolation.
He wanted to say that it wasn't Bai Ying chasing him, and it wasn't Bai Ying's fault at the time. But he opened his mouth and couldn't say it.
He didn't want anyone to have a bad impression of him.
Gu Qingzhou didn't notice the change in Xiao Yu's expression and hugged him tightly: "Forget it, let's not talk about Bai Ying anymore. As long as she doesn't appear in front of you again, that's fine."
"And you, you have Ruan Xinrou, the first among the younger generation to reach the Pseudo-Core Realm. Her future is limitless. You are truly blessed."
Xiao Yu forced a smile; he knew Gu Qingzhou was right.
Bai Ying is now in the early stage of Foundation Establishment and is no longer comparable to Ruan Xinrou.
No matter how well she had performed before, the gap in cultivation level was an insurmountable chasm.
No matter how I look at it, Ruan Xinrou is the better choice.

Gu Qingzhou and Xiao Yu were also heading to the Spirit Herb Garden. They had just received news from their fellow disciples that the garden had been discovered, so they rushed over. At the same time, several members of the Huayang Sect also arrived and immediately approached them upon seeing them.
Gu Qingzhou looked around and muttered to herself, "Isn't Junior Sister with you?"
The group shook their heads. "Junior Sister Ruan didn't carry a communication talisman, so we can't contact her. But we've left her a message, and she should come over after she sees it."
"I hope she can see it soon..." Gu Qingzhou felt a surge of pride when she thought of her junior sister. Her junior sister had already reached the Core Formation Realm, making her the most dazzling presence among this group of cultivators.
If Junior Sister were to appear here, she would surely amaze everyone and become the object of everyone's admiration. In that case, the Spirit Herb Garden would become their Huayang Sect's possession.
However, he turned to look at Xiao Yu again, then smiled with relief. Xiao Yu was now at the Great Perfection of the Foundation Establishment stage, and should be able to defeat everyone here. It didn't matter that his junior sister wasn't here.
Gu Qingzhou became increasingly smug as she thought about it.
But at that moment, he saw a familiar figure.
Not far away, Bai Ying also appeared here, accompanied by the cultivator who was in the early stage of Foundation Establishment.
"What is she doing here? A Foundation Establishment cultivator in the early stage coming to a place like this, isn't she just courting death?"
Gu Qingzhou's expression changed instantly. He hurriedly walked towards Bai Ying, grabbed her arm, and sternly reprimanded her:
"Are you crazy? What are you doing here? Do you know where this place is? Don't think that just because a spirit herb garden has appeared, it's something someone like you can covet."
"Don't you know your own limitations! With such meager cultivation, if you want to live, get out of here right now!"
