Chi Yuan didn't stand on ceremony with Wenren Ting. He was currently short of Yuan Stones, so naturally, the more the better.
“Ying’er, Young Master Fufeng has just arrived at our manor, and we should do our best to be hospitable. Why don’t you take him around the manor first?”
Wenren Ting instructed Wenren Bingying in a gentle voice.
"Yes, Father."
A hint of shyness flashed in Wenren Bingying's beautiful eyes. She clearly knew what Wenren Ting was planning, but she was not against it. She still admired and was curious about this man who had subdued the spirit fire at the Spirit King level, and she didn't mind getting to know Chi Yuan.
...
The back garden of the Wenren Mansion.
Chi Yuan and Wenren Bingying strolled slowly along the garden path, which was filled with flowers and lush vegetation.
"Young Master Fufeng, do you know why Bingying is so eager to obtain pills to improve her strength?"
Wenren Bingying's voice was clear and gentle, and she looked at Chi Yuan with a smile in her beautiful eyes.
"I have some guesses."
"Then...in Young Master Fufeng's opinion, is Bingying's behavior right or wrong?"
Wenren Bingying stared intently at Chi Yuan, her eyes showing considerable concern.
"You're just fighting against fate, what's wrong with that?"
Upon hearing Chi Yuan's words, Wenren Bingying's eyes immediately lit up, and her gaze towards Chi Yuan softened. "Young Master is wise. Bingying grew up in the sect since childhood and has never spent any time with Ye Chen. To me, he is just a stranger with whom I have no emotional connection. Yet Bingying is bound by that marriage contract and has no choice but to become his fiancée."
"There are many rumors circulating outside that I, Wenren Bingying, broke off the engagement because Ye Chen looked down on me after he became a cripple. But who knows that I was simply unwilling to submit to fate and marry someone I didn't like at all? Is that wrong?"
Wenren Bingying became somewhat agitated, her eyes brimming with tears as she gazed at Chi Yuan and asked, "Young Master Fufeng, please forgive my impertinence, but if the person I was breaking off my engagement with were you, how would you view me?"
"I understand."
Chi Yuan's tone was flat and emotionless.
"You...you really understand? You don't think I did something wrong?"
Wenren Bingying bit her pink lips and stared intently at Chi Yuan, saying, "They all say that for a woman to break off an engagement with a man is a great disgrace to him, a mistake that cannot be made again. Don't you think so?"
Chi Yuan stopped in his tracks, stood before the clear pond in the garden, looked up at the sky, and calmly said, "The one who is wrong is not you, but this world."
“I’ve had that experience.”
"What?"
Wenren Bingying covered her mouth with her hand, staring at Chi Yuan in astonishment. Even someone as outstanding as him had been jilted before.
Wenren Bingying's mind was thrown into turmoil.
After a long while, a complex look appeared in her eyes, and she carefully moved her lips, saying, "Young Master Fufeng, do you... blame her?"
"It's not that it's strange or not, it's just that I can't let it go in my heart."
A barely perceptible sadness flickered deep in Chi Yuan's eyes. "I used to... love her very much."
Wenren Bingying stared blankly at Chi Yuan, as if something had touched her heartstrings, and an indescribable emotion welled up inside her.
She slowly removed the white veil from her face, glancing nervously at Chi Yuan, only to find that he wasn't looking at her at all. She couldn't help but whisper, "Young Master Fufeng, may I take a look at you?"
Upon hearing this, Chi Yuan looked at Wenren Bingying. What came into view was a stunningly beautiful face, so beautiful that it could captivate anyone with just one glance. Her aloof and cold temperament carried a sense of superiority that kept people at a distance, making them dare to admire her from afar and not harbor any thoughts of disrespect.
This woman is breathtakingly beautiful.
"I'm sorry, I can't show my true face."
Upon hearing this, Wenren Bingying's expectations vanished instantly, and she lowered her head in disappointment, saying, "It's alright, Bingying won't force Young Master Fufeng."
