Bai Ying hadn't expected to see Lin Yuan either. She frowned and said, "What does my being here have to do with you?"
Lin Yuan's face immediately turned cold. He thought that Bai Ying still had some illusions about him, which was why she refused to take out the contract bamboo slip.
He felt a mixture of disdain and pride towards her.
If Bai Ying hadn't been under that inner demon curse, he would definitely have been willing to stay with her again.
Unfortunately, she is now a dying woman, and there is absolutely no possibility for him to be with her. At this point, her clinging to him is already somewhat repulsive.
Just then, several young people of similar age to Lin Yuan walked over.
"Brother Yuan, who is this?"
The speaker was Lu Ran, Lin Yuan's good friend and also the great-grandson of Lu Boyuan, whom Bai Ying was going to treat today.
Lin Yuan was unwilling to let these people know about his relationship with Bai Ying, so he simply introduced her as "Bai Ying from the Lingxiao Sect."
Lin Yuan's friends knew nothing about Zhongzhou and had never heard of it. They assumed Bai Ying had come to see the treasures displayed by the Lu family.
The Lu family did not reveal that their ancestor was ill. Fearing that their enemies would find out about such a big matter, they secretly invited various doctors to come and see the new treasure they had just acquired, under the pretext of inviting people from all walks of life.
The doctors were mixed in with the guests to avoid attracting the attention of their enemies. Not many people knew about this, not even Lu Ran, a direct descendant.
He was also proud of the large-scale banquet he had hosted.
At this moment, Lu Ran frowned as he looked at Bai Ying. He felt that the name of the person in front of him was somewhat familiar.
Lin Yuan's gaze towards Bai Ying was filled with hostility.
He suddenly remembered who this Bai Ying was.
Isn't she the one who's engaged to Lin Yuan?
After Lin Yuan confirmed that his fiancée's name was Bai Ying, he contacted Lu Ran.
He poured out his grievances to Bai Ying, wishing he could immediately break off the engagement.
Lin Yuan had also mentioned to Lu Ran that Bai Ying refused to hand over the contract bamboo slips to the Lin clan.
In Lu Ran's mind, Bai Ying was a crazy woman who would stop at nothing to marry Lin Yuan.
His face immediately darkened.
"I know why you've come here. It's not to see our family's treasures at all; you've come for Lin Yuan, haven't you!"
Bai Ying looked completely bewildered. She had come to save Lu Boyuan, so what did it have to do with Lin Yuan?
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
"Ha, stop playing dumb! I've seen plenty of shameless people like you. Let me tell you, you're not welcome here. If you know what's good for you, get out of here! Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude!"
Bai Ying's face also darkened.
"I didn't come for Lin Yuan; I came to save someone. If your Lu family hadn't begged me, I wouldn't have come."
Bai Ying's words made Lu Ran laugh.
"Haha! Save people? You? Would our Lu family ask for help from someone like you? You must have lost your mind, spouting nonsense here!" Lu Ran shouted, calling over all the Lu family members present as he spoke.
"Come here, all of you! Come and take a good look. I want to see who in our Lu family has the audacity to bring this arrogant fool here? And which sickly person needs her to save them? Huh?"
Those members of the Lu family were all from collateral branches of the Lu family, and their status in the Lu family was far lower than that of Lu Ran. Seeing this, they all echoed, "No one in our Lu family is sick, and we would never let such a greenhorn girl treat our illness. Does she even deserve to be treated?"
Lu Ran sneered at Bai Ying with a smug look on his face: "See? Stop pretending here. If you're going to pursue Lin Yuan, just admit it. Why make up such ridiculous lies? No one in our Lu family is sick, we don't need your help. You piece of trash, get the hell out of here!"
Bai Ying found it utterly ridiculous. After Fang Jingyu contacted her, people from the Lu family also contacted her. The person spoke with such sincerity that they practically wanted to kneel down and beg her.
Only then did she agree to come and take a look.
But the group of people in front of her were shouting that she should leave.
Seeing that Bai Ying remained silent, Lin Yuan said with a stern face:
"Bai Ying, stop embarrassing yourself here. I know you're skilled at weapon crafting, but I've never heard of you being able to cure any illnesses. Have you forgotten what you said back in Zhongzhou about being able to cure the Fourth Elder? Don't you think you've embarrassed yourself enough already?"
Because of the Lin family's deliberate concealment, Lin Yuan didn't know that Bai Ying could really cure this disease. He was still looking down on Bai Ying and wished she would leave immediately.
Seeing that Lin Yuan had made his stance clear, Lu Ran was extremely smug.
"Did you hear that? Even my brother Lin said that about you. It's pointless for you to stay here any longer. Get out of here!"
The commotion at the Lu family's place immediately attracted a large crowd, and people began to discuss Bai Ying.
Lu Ran was even more smug: "If you don't leave, I'm going to have someone kick you out!"
Bai Ying showed no anger at Lu Ran's dismissal; instead, she looked at him as if he were an idiot.
“Even your ancestor begged me to come. I never expected that a nobody like you would dare to drive me away. Since this is the attitude of your Lu family, I will naturally leave. I just hope you won’t be kneeling on the ground begging me then.”
Bai Ying's words shocked everyone present.
The people at the scene all gasped in shock, never expecting the girl to be so bold.
Lin Yuan quickly said to Bai Ying, "Do you know who that Lu family patriarch is? How dare you say such a thing? Apologize right now!"
After all, this is in Beiyuan Prefecture!
In Zhongzhou, she had Xuanyuan Chen protecting her, but this wasn't Zhongzhou! How dare a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl speak so arrogantly? What's the difference between this and courting death?
Lu Ran sneered at Bai Ying: "Let me tell you, you're finished. Even if you apologize, it won't help. You dare to talk about my great-grandfather like that; he won't let you get away with it!"
As he spoke, he tried to go up and grab Bai Ying.
"Brother Lin Yuan, didn't you say that Bai Ying refused to give you the marriage contract? I'm here today, let's see if she'll give it to you or not!"
As Lu Ran spoke, he was about to take Bai Ying to the Lu family.
But how could he, who was only at the late stage of Foundation Establishment, possibly be a match for Bai Ying?
Bai Ying's eyes were icy cold, like the water of a frozen pool. She simply raised her hand, and in an instant, a surge of spiritual power, like a raging torrent, burst forth from her palm.
This spiritual energy was like a primordial beast, containing a chilling power, and it rushed towards Lu Ran with overwhelming force.
In an instant, Lu Ran was sent flying like a fragile leaf by this enormous force.
With a loud thud, he fell to the ground in a very disheveled state.
Lu Ran looked up at Bai Ying in disbelief. Bai Ying was at the early stage of the Golden Core realm. At his age, having such cultivation made him a prodigy in the entire Beiyuan Prefecture.
He never imagined he would be beaten so badly by someone his own age!
