The five people, including Yu Qingli, looked at each other in silence, the atmosphere heavy and deathly still.
Their feelings were no different from Lu Ziling's. Although they were somewhat behind Chi Yuan, the gap wasn't that big, and with their own talents, they were still able to catch up with Chi Yuan.
But now, the gap between them and Chi Yuan is immeasurable, and this gap will only widen until eventually they can no longer even see Chi Yuan, and they won't even have the right to look up to him...
That's why they were all disheartened and even felt a sense of despair.
Because they understand that as long as this gap exists, no matter how much they like Chi Yuan, it is impossible for them to be together with him.
If they can't even keep up with Chi Yuan's pace, what right do they have to be with him?
However, despite all the women's awareness, the thought of severing their feelings for Chi Yuan was like a knife piercing their hearts, causing them unbearable pain.
After all, they liked Chi Yuan not only because of his excellence, but also because of his inner charm and the affection they had developed over the years for his thoughtful care of them.
What they like is Chi Yuan as a person!
Although they felt genuinely happy and proud to see Chi Yuan's current unparalleled talent, from a selfish personal perspective, they would rather Chi Yuan not be such a genius. They would prefer that Chi Yuan be someone they could see, reach, and catch up with, instead of someone as unattainable as he is now, leaving them only to sigh in envy and feel ashamed of themselves...
Looking at her five junior sisters with pained expressions, how could Lu Ziling feel any better? The greatest despair in the world is not seeing hope but not being able to obtain it, but seeing no hope at all.
They used to have some illusions, thinking that after winning back Chi Yuan, they would still have a chance to pursue the love they longed for. But now, even if Chi Yuan reconciled with them, would they still have a chance to pursue Chi Yuan?
It's gone, it'll never happen again...
Chi Yuan was unwilling to accept them, and they couldn't keep up with him. Unless the matchmaker came and forcibly tied them to Chi Yuan, how could they possibly have a chance to catch up with him?
With a sigh, Lu Ziling said with a complicated expression, "Actually, we all know in our hearts that when our senior brother distanced himself from us, it wasn't because he couldn't forgive us, but because he didn't want to delay our lives. It's just that we've been deceiving ourselves and have been unwilling to face this fact."
"Qingli, Ningyan, Feiruo, Rou'er, Yun'er, perhaps... we should all wake up and let go of our obsessions as soon as possible. Maybe he can become the senior brother we know again, but if we still hold on to our obsessions..."
Lu Ziling said all she had to say and didn't continue.
After a long silence, she resolutely stood up and walked towards the stairs: "Anyway, I've thought it through. You should all think it over."
"Senior Sister Lu, wait a moment!"
Su Ningyan suddenly called out to Lu Ziling, stood up and stepped forward, saying, "I'll go with you."
"I'll go too..."
Yu Qingli stood up, looking utterly dejected.
Yue Qianrou and Mu Lingyun also stood up one after another, and without saying a word, walked forward with their heads hanging down, their faces ashen.
Leng Feiruo opened her mouth as if to say something, but ultimately couldn't utter a word. She burst into tears, crying out, "Senior Brother..."
...
The main peak of Yingyue Pavilion, where Ye Chen resides.
Gan Hong came to Ye Chen's room with a solemn expression and said, "Chen'er, I have already used the king's words to make the news about the divine body public. However, there is something that is very unfavorable to you. Senior You Rong used his great supernatural powers to seal off the border of Da Gan, isolating Da Gan from the outside world. Now no one can leave Da Gan even half a step."
Ye Chen's eyes turned icy cold upon hearing this, and he snorted, "You've really gone to great lengths to make me and Chi Yuan fight to the death."
"If that's the case, then so be it!"
Ye Chen sneered and immediately said to Gan Hong, "Master, help me find the families of my seven senior sisters. I want to get engaged to all of them!"
His obsession with these seven senior sisters wasn't deep, at least not to the point that he couldn't accept Chi Yuan getting his hands on them. Rather than letting Chi Yuan benefit from them, he might as well deepen his obsession with them, so that he could also gain some high-quality hatred.
To deepen one's obsession, the emotional route is definitely not going to work; the only way is to establish a marriage contract with them.
This is also the best way. Just look at how much Wenren Bingying hated him when she broke off the engagement. As long as he has a marriage contract with his seven senior sisters, even if it is only a nominal engagement, it can create a deep obsession in him. In this way, if Chi Yuan takes them away, it will definitely bring him a lot of high-quality hatred!
"Alright, I'll take care of it right away."
Gan Hong agreed without hesitation. Ye Chen possessed the Divine Yang Body, so it was normal for him to take a concubine. As long as Gan Yang could secure her position as Ye Chen's empress, that was enough. Everything else was up to Ye Chen.
Without delay, Gan Hong left the place to personally help Ye Chen with this matter.
Ye Chen didn't know if this matter could be accomplished. If the other family was unwilling to agree to the engagement, he would probably have to find another way to deepen his obsession with his seven senior sisters.
Let's temporarily shift our focus to the upcoming alchemy competition. The prize for winning this competition is a Spring of Life, a special spiritual object that, in addition to assisting in alchemy and improving the quality of pills, has the greatest effect of restoring vitality and prolonging life.
In the battle of the previous five years, he had exhausted some of his life essence due to excessive burning of his blood and qi, and had not yet recovered. Now that he had the opportunity to obtain such a spiritual item that could restore his vitality, he naturally could not miss it.
Furthermore, he could also use this alchemy competition to show off and vent his frustration at being snatched first place by Chi Yuan.

"Great Love Immortal Technique?"
Looking at the densely packed and incredibly complex cultivation methods in her soul world, Ning Wan'er's soul figure focused and comprehended them. When she felt the power of these techniques, she was overjoyed.
This technique is very powerful, extremely powerful!
Moreover, there is a shortcut to quickly improve one's cultivation level: the deeper one's feelings, the faster one's cultivation speed. When emotions erupt, there is a greater chance to achieve a leap in cultivation level, crossing multiple minor realms.
"No wonder it's called the Path of Love..."
Having grasped the core essence of this cultivation technique, Ning Wan'er's soul avatar's eyes shone brightly, her heart filled with joy. With the cultivation of this technique, her cultivation level would surely advance rapidly!
At that time, she will have a chance to catch up with her senior brother and not be left far behind, becoming a useless vase.
Moreover, this technique is so powerful that if she succeeds in cultivating it in the future, she can pass it on to her senior brother. With her senior brother's talent, she can't even imagine how strong he would become if he could cultivate this technique!
Overjoyed, Ning Wan'er couldn't wait to exit the mental world.
"Wan'er, you're awake."
In the real world, Ning Wan'er opened her eyes with fluttering eyelashes and saw Chi Yuan's face. She turned her head and looked around. Seeing that there was no one else in the room, she excitedly said to Chi Yuan, "Senior brother, Wan'er just obtained a very powerful cultivation technique!"
