Sect Hall
Su Yuewan leaned back on the sect leader's throne, looking down at Bai Yuanhong, who resembled a gentle and refined young master. A hint of languor crept into her cold expression as she spoke softly.
"Tell me, what brings you here?"
Upon hearing this, Bai Yuanhong smiled slightly and said, "Actually, I had wanted to come and see you ever since I heard that you had come out of seclusion, Yuewan. However, the affairs of the sect were too complicated, and I was unable to spare the time to come and see you today."
"Alright, no need for this formality with me. Just say what you have to say, or leave if you have nothing else to say." Su Yuewan's indifferent words were filled with a tone that made the people outside the door feel that she was being rude.
Who is Bai Yuanhong?
The dignified sect leader of the Inviting Moon Sect is a handsome man of the world.
Su Yuewan actually let him leave?
What a waste!
But Bai Yuanhong didn't care at all. There was just a hint of apology on her face. "Yuewan, I know that I was wrong about what happened back then. I am sorry to you. I came here today just to apologize to you and ask for your forgiveness."
These words immediately aroused the gossip-loving hearts of those outside.
They all knew that Bai Yuanhong had failed to win Su Yuewan's affections back then, and Su Yuewan had even defeated him with a single sword strike, seizing the title of Sword Saint.
However, judging from Bai Yuanhong's words, it seems that there are some reasons behind this that they are unaware of.
What did I do wrong and need forgiveness?
Could it be that Su Yuewan and Bai Yuanhong were originally in love with each other, but Su Yuewan became angry because Bai Yuanhong did something wrong?
Could it be that today they are going to witness a perfect couple reconciling?
Su Yuewan merely snorted, neither pleased nor angry: "I appreciate your apology. And then? Is there anything else?"
Whether you apologize or not is your business; whether I forgive you or not is my business.
However, since they've come to apologize, accepting their apology isn't out of the question.
But then what?
"Now that you've apologized, does Sect Leader Bai have anything else to say?"
Seeing Su Yuewan's still nonchalant demeanor, a hint of disappointment flashed across Bai Yuanhong's face, but it quickly disappeared, replaced by her warm smile.
"I saw it when I arrived; your sect is not what it used to be. To regain its former glory, you'll need a lot of manpower and resources. So I brought a small gift this time, hoping it can help..."
"No."
Before Bai Yuanhong could finish speaking, Su Yuewan interrupted him: "Our Luohai Sect and your Yaoyue Sect have never had much contact. As the saying goes, one should not accept a reward without merit. This sect leader cannot accept this gift from Sect Leader Bai."
These words caused a fleeting moment of embarrassment to cross Bai Yuanhong's face, but it vanished almost instantly.
[Well done! Why would you want your ex-boyfriend's things? You're beholden to him if he pays you, you need to learn to say no.]
Su Yuewan raised her eyebrows slightly.
Sure enough, this guy is everywhere.
But what does "ex-boyfriend" mean? Does it refer to Bai Yuanhong?
However, it's still generally clear that Bai Hao was praising her.
"That's still a bit of a pity. The ten million gold coins I brought were actually enough for you to rebuild your sect." Bai Yuanhong shook his head, seemingly regretful.
Ten...ten million?
Everyone was stunned.
Are people this extravagant these days? They casually throw around ten million gold coins.
Ten million gold coins are enough to support a second-rate sect from scratch, but now Bai Yuanhong is just casually taking them out to give away?
Even Su Yuewan was slightly surprised while browsing the night market, not expecting Bai Yuanhong to be so generous.
But she had already refused once, so she couldn't very well say yes now. Besides, it was rare for that little rascal Bai Hao to praise her for doing a good job, and she couldn't contradict herself.
She said calmly, "Thank you for your kindness, Sect Leader Bai, but please take it back."
[Damn! Ten million!]
That's ten million! You just rejected it like that?
You spendthrift woman!
Su Yuewan was taken aback.
Didn't I just praise her for doing a good job? Why did she suddenly turn on me?
And they even called her a spendthrift woman?
It's not like I'm ruining your family's fortune!
What's it to you?!
Su Yuewan immediately glared at Bai Hao, who was standing to the side.
The latter cursed the spendthrift woman in his heart, but he suddenly felt a cold gaze, which made him shudder and feel cold all over.
Why are you glaring at me all of a sudden? I didn't do anything.
Still watching? Watching won't change the fact that you're a spendthrift woman!
In his heart, Bai Hao was not a coward at all.
If you don't even dare to curse someone in your heart, what kind of hero are you?
But why is this person's gaze getting more and more frightening...?
Only when Bai Yuanhong realized that Su Yuewan's eyes were not on her did she notice Bai Hao standing next to Su Yuewan.
Upon closer inspection, he turned out to be a pretty good young man. Although he wasn't as handsome as himself, he was still quite good-looking.
More importantly, he was guarding Su Yuewan's side, which means that this person is very likely Su Yuewan's personal disciple, or rather... her close disciple!
"Yuewan, is this your personal disciple?" he asked with a smile.
"Ignore him. Also, please don't call me by my first name anymore. Our relationship isn't that good yet," Su Yuewan said calmly, withdrawing her gaze.
These words made Bai Yuanhong look somewhat embarrassed.
But he quickly added, "I heard that not long after you came out of seclusion, you made a vow to Heaven and took in a disciple. This must be the person. For you to make such a vow, this disciple must be a genius."
"You have good taste, but you should be more humble. I'm not the best, but I'm not the worst either; being better than you is enough."
Bai Hao never refuses praise.
Su Yuewan smiled charmingly and said, "You have good taste. His name is Bai Hao, and he is my personal disciple."
[Personal disciple? What the hell? A personal cook should be more like it...]
"Personal disciple..."
Upon hearing Su Yuewan's admission, Bai Yuanhong's eyes twitched violently, and his expression turned somewhat unpleasant, but he still maintained a smile: "Of course, Yue... Sect Leader Su, your judgment is naturally impeccable."
Have you run out of things to talk about? Why are you dragging me into this?
Bai Hao felt somewhat depressed.
It's one thing to be discussed in front of others, but the problem is that every time these two people mention him, everyone outside is watching him.
With so many beautiful junior sisters, how could he not maintain his elegant demeanor?
"You don't need to tell me that. Besides, his talent is the best I've ever seen. His swordsmanship is in no way inferior to yours." Su Yuewan's face was very bright.
It's like... introducing your proudest achievement.
【Um? ? 】
Um? ?
At this moment, Bai Hao and Bai Yuanhong shared the same question.
But their doubts were different, and Bai Yuanhong could barely keep her smile on her face.
She actually said in front of him that someone else was better than him?!
