This is not only a gratitude to Ye Chen for saving his life, but also a strategic decision made by Liu Qingyi after careful consideration.
It is a bloody fact that Qingyin Pavilion cannot protect the spiritual mine.
Rather than being coveted by other sects in the future, it is better to take the initiative to share it with Baihua Palace and Tianxuan Sect who have done Qingyin Pavilion a favor today.
This would not only win over two powerful allies, but also provide an opportunity to obtain Ye Chen's disguised protection.
As long as Ye Chen is still in Canglan Continent, who would dare to touch the spiritual mines of these three alliances?
Even if Ye Chen leaves again in the future, his invincible reputation today will be enough to intimidate the villains of Canglan Continent for countless years.
If you want to take the spiritual mine, you must first consider whether you can withstand the wrath of this god of death.
Upon hearing this, Yao Miaoyi and Xuan Ji Zhenren looked at each other and saw surprise in each other's eyes.
They came to help today purely out of moral obligation and old friendship with Qingyin Pavilion, and never thought of getting a share of the profits.
Unexpectedly, Liu Qingyi was so courageous that she took the initiative to offer to share this priceless mid-grade spiritual ore!
This is such a huge pleasant surprise!
"Junior Sister Liu is very righteous and far-sighted!"
Master Xuanji stroked his beard and praised sincerely, without concealing the joy on his face.
"That's great! My Tianxuan Sect is willing to stand together with Qingyin Pavilion and Baihua Palace and advance and retreat together!"
Doctor Yao Miao also nodded slightly, with a smile of approval on her pretty face.
"Baihua Palace is also willing to abide by the covenant."
Seeing this, Liu Qingyi felt slightly relieved.
Her eyes inadvertently swept over Murong Xue, who had been silent.
He invited Doctor Yao Miao and Master Xuan Ji into the main hall to discuss the mining of the spiritual mine in detail.
He intentionally left his apprentice some space to be alone with Ye Chen, hoping that there would still be a glimmer of hope.
Liu Qingyi, Yao Miaoyi and Xuanji Zhenren exchanged a knowing look.
They walked together towards the main hall of Qingyin Pavilion to discuss the details of spiritual mine mining and alliance.
In front of the mountain gate, only Ye Chen and Murong Xue were left, as well as Ruoxi and Xiaodie who were watching curiously.
Murong Xue bit her lower lip lightly with her pearly teeth, and the expression on her fair and pretty face kept changing.
She slowly walked towards Ye Chen.
Ruoxi and Xiaodie looked at each other. They could tell from Murong Xue's expression that the two of them had a story.
They tactfully walked to the side, leaving this space to Ye Chen and Murong Xue.
Although they were full of curiosity, they didn't understand why Ye Chen was so familiar with the Canglan Continent they had just entered and knew so many old friends.
But they also knew that now was obviously not the time to ask these questions.
Murong Xue walked in front of Ye Chen, stopped, and looked at Ye Chen with complicated eyes.
There is gratitude for surviving the disaster, but more importantly, there is deep-seated apology and a trace of unspeakable regret.
Her eyes fell on Ye Chen's strange hair color, which was half black and half white.
"What's wrong with your hair?"
Murong Xue's voice was a little nervous.
"I got a little injured before, it's nothing serious."
Ye Chen glanced sideways and responded lightly.
Murong Xue nodded and didn't ask any further questions.
The path of cultivation is full of thorns, and injuries are inevitable.
The two of them just stood there quietly, neither of them speaking again.
The mountain wind blew, stirring up the dust and bloody smell on the ground, and also blowing the clothes and hair of the two people.
Silence spread between the two.
A moment later, Murong Xue broke the suffocating silence.
She took a deep breath, and as if mustering up great courage, she said, "Ye Chen, I'm sorry, back then..."
"No need to say sorry."
Ye Chen interrupted her without waiting for her to finish, his voice gentle and unrequited.
"You didn't do anything wrong back then."
"If I were in your position, I would probably make the same choice."
Ye Chen turned his head and looked at Murong Xue, even with a gentle smile on his face.
However, Ye Chen's indifference was like a huge rock blocking Murong Xue's heart.
It made her feel a little difficult to breathe.
Yes, she is right.
From the sect's perspective, there is nothing wrong with her choosing to break off the engagement and choose a more promising genius.
"But……"
She wanted to say something, to explain something.
"No buts."
Ye Chen interrupted her again, his tone still calm.
"It's over."
"I never took the matter of breaking off the engagement to heart."
"Besides, I have no interest in the so-called sect marriage."
That's the truth.
To him, the so-called engagement was nothing more than the wishful thinking of the sect elders.
"good."
Murong Xue nodded and swallowed all the words.
Besides, what's the point? It's all in the past.
Silence fell between the two again.
After a long time, Murong Xue asked again.
"Is the fairyland...exciting?"
She turned her head and looked at the distant horizon.
Ye Chen followed Murong Xue's gaze and looked at the sky.
"Wonderful."
His voice was a little distant.
“It’s absolutely wonderful.”
These four simple words paint a fascinating picture.
"That's great... I really want to go up and take a look."
Murong Xue murmured to herself, with a hint of longing in her eyes.
She also wanted to see how magnificent the fairyland was that even Ye Chen admired so much.
Ye Chen withdrew his gaze and looked at Murong Xue.
"Want to go?"
"I can help you."
Anyway, he would be returning to the fairyland soon, so he didn't mind helping her.
Murong Xue's delicate body trembled slightly when she heard this. She turned her head and looked at Ye Chen, with a hint of struggle in her eyes.
After a moment, she shook her head slightly.
"Thanks."
"However, I want to ascend with my own strength."
Her voice was firm; it was her pride and her way.
Relying on external forces is not what she wants after all.
"Okay."
Ye Chen nodded without forcing it.
Everyone has his own way, and he respects Murong Xue's choice.
Murong Xue turned her head and secretly looked at Ye Chen.
Looking at his handsome face with clear edges and corners, looking at his eyes that contain the stars and the sea.
An indescribable regret surged into my heart again like a tide.
Why did I cancel the engagement in the first place?
If I hadn't made that choice at the time, would everything be different now?
But there are no ifs in this world.
Everything is too late.
She mustered up the courage and asked almost subconsciously.
"Ye Chen."
"If...if I hadn't chosen to break off the engagement."
"Is it possible for us to..."
