She released Ye Xingyu, but kept a wary eye on him.
Ye Xingyu smiled slightly and said:
"Miss, you need not worry about my identity. I believe you can see that I have no ill intentions towards you."
He added:
"I was indeed sent by our sect leader to invite you back, young lady."
Qiu Ling'er frowned, recalling Ye Xingyu's behavior and actions from his appearance until now. It seemed that he really had come to 'invite' her, but... wasn't this person a little too calm?
This, on the contrary, aroused Qiu Ling'er's vigilance.
She frowned and said:
"How do I know if you're telling the truth or not? What if you're lying to me? Besides... when did I ever meet your sect leader? What Heavenly Garment Sect? I've never even heard of it!"
She had only been in the Dimensional Capital for a few days, and the only person she knew was the head of the Autumn Water Pavilion. How could she possibly know anyone from the Heavenly Garment Sect?
Upon hearing this, Ye Xingyu was immediately startled.
Could it be... that this girl really doesn't know anything about the Heavenly Garment Sect?
If she really doesn't know, then what I just said was pointless.
Thinking of this, Ye Xingyu looked embarrassed and scratched his head, saying:
"Hehe... So you didn't know, young lady? I understand your ignorance."
Ye Xingyu chuckled awkwardly a few times, then continued:
"However, everything I said is true. I come from Tianyi Sect, one of the medium-sized forces in Wujin City. Our sect leader is Tian Qingyi. I have come here to recruit you to our Tianyi Sect. If you do not believe me, you can ask me yourself."
Qiu Ling'er frowned even more deeply. She had already said that she didn't know anything about the Heavenly Garment Sect. Was this person out of their mind? They actually told her to go and ask them herself... She couldn't possibly go and find some sect leader, could she?
"Sorry, I have no interest in your Heavenly Garment Sect."
Qiu Ling'er snorted coldly and turned to leave.
"Hey, Miss Qiu, wait a minute."
Ye Xingyu quickly stopped her and said:
“Miss Qiu, if you don’t believe me, there’s nothing I can do. But please come back with us. You’re all alone, and I’m afraid you’ll be in danger.”
"What's it to you?"
Qiu Ling'er glanced at Ye Xingyu disdainfully and said:
"You're not planning to kidnap me, are you?"
Ye Xingyu gave a wry smile and explained:
"How could that be? You've misunderstood, young lady. I only wish for you to return with us; I have no other intentions. Besides, you see, you're not on good terms with Qiushui Pavilion anymore. How about this: if you're willing to come to our Tianyi Sect, we'll do everything we can to meet your needs and treat you with the highest honors. What do you say?"
Ye Xingyu stated his conditions, and he believed that the other party would definitely not refuse them.
But to his utter surprise, the other party shook their head and said:
"I'm not going!"
Ye Xingyu was taken aback and asked:
"Why?"
Qiu Ling'er snorted coldly:
"Why would I go to your Tianyi Sect? What good would it do me?"
She paused and then said:
"As for what you said about being afraid I'll encounter danger... May I ask, who am I to you? What does my safety or danger have to do with your Tianyi Sect? Or rather... what loss would it cause you if I didn't go to your Tianyi Sect?"
Qiu Ling'er has now figured some things out. Since the Tianyi Sect is here to bribe her, she might as well play dumb. After all, they can't do anything to her.
Sure enough, upon hearing her say that, Ye Xingyu immediately replied:
"You are a distinguished guest invited by our Tianyi Sect Master, how could we possibly suffer any loss?"
"Oh? Then I'd like to see what makes your Heavenly Garment Sect so qualified to invite me!"
Qiu Ling'er's lips curled into a mocking smile, her eyes filled with contempt.
Ye Xingyu was secretly annoyed at the sight, but he still wore a smile on his face.
"Do you think that if you don't join us, the Tianyi Sect won't dare to lay a hand on you?"
Ye Xingyu looked at Qiu Ling'er and slowly spoke, his tone carrying a strong sense of pressure that sent chills down one's spine.
"Oh, you're in such a hurry already?"
Qiu Ling'er ignored the oppressive aura as if it were nothing, remaining completely unaffected. Instead, she looked at Ye Xingyu with a mocking gaze and sneered.
"What does Miss Qiu mean by this?"
A flash of anger crossed Ye Xingyu's face.
"It doesn't mean anything. I'm afraid you're just pretending to let me join you. What you really want is for me to go back to Tianyi Sect with you."
"In that case, young lady, please come with us."
Seeing that Qiu Ling'er already knew his purpose, Ye Xingyu said calmly and then waved his hand.
Then dozens of people leaped out from mid-air, surrounding Qiu Ling'er. Their eyes were cold, and they exuded a murderous aura.
"What, are you trying to forcibly take me away?"
Seeing this display, Qiu Ling'er raised an eyebrow and said disdainfully.
“Miss Qiu, you are a smart person, so I won’t beat around the bush. Come back to Tianyi Sect with us, and we will not harm you.”
Qiu Ling'er was taken aback for a moment upon hearing this, then laughed and said:
"That's ridiculous. You think you'd let me go if you didn't hurt me? Are you trying to put me under house arrest?"
"I advise the girl not to refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit."
Ye Xingyu said calmly, his voice devoid of any emotion.
"Hmph, you really think I'm easily scared? You want to imprison me? Well, let me tell you, there's no door and no window."
"I don't know what benefits that old hag Tie Yulinglong gave you to make you all work so hard for her."
