In a tall pavilion not far from the Wenren Mansion.
A gentle and charming woman sat in a private room on the edge of the top floor, gazing at the magnificent buildings of the Wenren Mansion, lost in thought.
At this moment, a pretty maidservant walked in quietly and whispered to the gentle woman, "Miss, that young master has arrived."
"Um."
Rong Xinya nodded slightly, then gracefully rose and walked out.
Outside the private room stood a tall man draped in a black robe. He turned his head to look when he heard the door open.
The woman before him appeared to be only sixteen years old, with fair skin and a beautiful face, possessing a quiet and gentle temperament befitting a lady from a noble family.
She wore a pale yellow long dress, the hem of which just touched the ground, and a light-colored belt around her waist, which outlined her graceful figure and made her full breasts stand out even more.
For some reason, Chi Yuan vaguely felt that the woman's features seemed familiar, as if he had seen her somewhere before.
As Chi Yuan sized up You Rongxinya, You Rongxinya also secretly glanced at Chi Yuan. Although she couldn't see his face under the mask, she could tell from the exposed outline that he was a young-looking person.
You Rongxin stepped forward gracefully and gave a polite bow, saying, "I am You Rongxin, and I am honored to meet Young Master Fufeng."
"Tolerance?"
A glint flashed in Chi Yuan's eyes as he spoke calmly, "I have never met Miss You Rong, yet you know my name. You must have inquired about me beforehand. May I ask what brings you here?"
"I dare not presume to offer guidance, but I have something to discuss with you. I would be honored if Young Master Fufeng could come inside for a chat."
Rong Xinya turned to the side, making an invitation.
Chi Yuan didn't say much. He scanned the private room with his divine soul power, and seeing nothing amiss, he stepped inside.
Rong Xinya followed closely behind, casually slamming the door shut with a burst of energy. She then went to the tea table behind the screen and sat opposite Chi Yuan.
"Just say what you mean, don't beat around the bush."
Chi Yuan stared straight at Rong Xinya, his eyes devoid of any emotion.
You Rongxin felt a little strange. She had never seen such a calm gaze that was neither indifferent nor aloof. She could not see any desire or appreciation in it. It was as if her beauty was no different from that of an ordinary passerby in the other person's eyes.
Suppressing her thoughts, Rong Xinya carefully considered her words before speaking in a consultative tone: "Young Master Fufeng, I have invited you here because I have a request. I hope that you will not refine the Jade Purity Ice Spirit Pill for Wenren Bingying again in the future."
"Of course, as compensation, my Ye family will give you more spirit stones and provide you with the treatment of a guest elder of the Ye family. I wonder if you would agree?"
"Are you from the Ye family?"
Chi Yuan's voice was soft and gentle, revealing no emotion, but a chill and doubt rose in his heart. If You Rong Xin Ya was a member of the Ye family, why did she have You Rong as her surname?
"To be honest, young master, my father is Ye Tianxiao, the head of the Ye family. Wenren Bingying's fiancé, Ye Chen, is Xin Ya's younger brother."
Rong Xinya introduced herself and then said sincerely, "Young Master Fufeng, you must have heard about my brother's five-year agreement with Wenren Bingying. Xinya made this request to you because she was thinking about the marriage between the two of them and did not want the matter to cause their marriage to break down."
"As the saying goes, it's better to tear down ten temples than to break up one marriage. If Young Master Fufeng helps Wenren Bingying refine the Jade Purity Ice Spirit Pill, helping her to quickly improve her cultivation and thus win this bet, wouldn't that be destroying a good match with your own hands? I think Young Master Fufeng wouldn't want to do such a thing as breaking up a loving couple, would he?"
Chi Yuan listened attentively to what the other party had to say. After Rong Xinya finished speaking, he said with a hint of sarcasm in his voice, "Is your so-called good marriage just about forcibly bringing together two people who are hostile to each other?"
You Rongxinya paused for a moment, then said with a hint of helplessness, “Young Master Fufeng, there are many misunderstandings here. When Wenren Bingying broke off the engagement, my younger brother’s cultivation had just plummeted and he had become a cripple. But after that, my younger brother regained his talent for cultivation and his cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds. Now, he is no weaker than Wenren Bingying.”
"Wenren Bingying broke off the engagement back then mostly because my younger brother had become a cripple, which is understandable. My Ye family can also understand her actions. But now that my younger brother has regained his talent and is worthy of her again, why not turn hostility into friendship and turn a bad thing into a good thing?"
Chi Yuan slowly stood up, walked to the railing, stood with his hands behind his back, looked at the Wenren residence in front of him, and asked, "Do you think Wenren Bingying knows what kind of strength your brother has now?"
After a moment of silence, Rong Xinya replied softly, "I presume to know."
Chi Yuan then countered, "Then why do you think she would still ask for a pill to boost her strength when she knew that your brother was no longer the same and was now worthy of her?"
Rong Xinya was speechless.
"What you consider a good thing is a disaster for her. Although we are just getting what we need, I would never betray her like this and collude with you snakes and rats."
Chi Yuan turned to look at You Rongxinya, his eyes behind the mask revealing a faint disdain and contempt.
Rong Xinya's pretty face paled, and she quickly stood up to explain, "Young Master Fufeng, Xinya was only acting on my father's orders, not because of my own will. In fact... Xinya didn't want to make this happen either; it would be painful for both of them..."
"This is none of my business. If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave now."
Chi Yuan said calmly, and a stream of air rose from beneath his feet, lifting his body so he could fly away from the place.
"Young Master Fu Feng..."
Seeing this, Rong Xinya reached out to stop her.
"Is there anything else?"
Chi Yuan's eyes were filled with impatience. He didn't want to get involved with Ye Chen's family, nor did he have any intention of having designs on Rong Xinya. He just wanted to stay far away from her so as not to get in his way.
"No...that's all. Please take care, Young Master Fufeng."
Rong Xinya lowered her head and whispered.
She originally had something more important she wanted Chi Yuan to help her with, but now that Chi Yuan had a bad opinion of her, she found it difficult to bring it up. She decided to wait until their relationship changed in the future.
Without another word, Chi Yuan rose into the air and transformed into a streak of rainbow light, disappearing into the distance.
As Rong Xinya watched Chi Yuan's departing figure, a soft curve appeared on her pink lips, and her eyes sparkled with excitement.
Spirit King cultivation level... Netherworld Fire... Alchemy skills capable of refining top-quality Jade Purity Ice Spirit Pills...
And such upright, noble, and discerning character...
No matter how you look at it, this young master Fu Feng is a perfect match for her!
"My mother keeps urging me to get married as soon as possible. I'm so tired of hearing it. Recently, she's planning to introduce me to some prince of the capital. It's so annoying! Anyway, I can't escape marriage. Rather than marrying someone I don't like, I might as well..."
...
