The man inside was startled at first, but upon realizing that the visitors were not elders from Baihe Temple, but rather a few young people, an angry expression immediately appeared on his face. He said in a gloomy tone, "Who are you? How dare you trespass into my room? Are you courting death!"
However, no one paid any attention to him; everyone's eyes were focused on Pang Shunan and Chi Dandan, who was not far away!
Pang Shunan's mind seemed to freeze for a moment, and he didn't react immediately. He just stood there blankly, staring at "Qingmei" not far away.
After a long while, his body began to tremble. He pointed at them, his lips quivering, unable to utter a complete sentence.
“Dandan…you…you…”
The immense impact nearly suffocated him; the pure light in his eyes was completely extinguished, leaving only unbelievable pain and despair.
Looking at Pang Shunan's dejected appearance and then at the man beside her, Chi Dandan's sense of shame was quickly replaced by a harshness that was eager to absolve herself and elevate herself.
She suddenly stood up straight, pointed at Pang Shun'an, and shrieked:
"Pang Shun'an! That's enough! Look where you are! This is Linxian City! The world of cultivators! Do you think you can make me grateful by giving you some scrap metal from the mortal realm?"
She seemed determined to absolve herself of all blame, becoming increasingly agitated as she spoke, her tone filled with contempt and disdain.
"I was worried you wouldn't be able to accept it, but now that you've found out, I'll tell you everything!"
"I, Chi Dandan, am now an inner disciple of the White Crane Temple! My future lies on the path of immortality! Senior Brother Bai is exceptionally talented, having reached the late stage of the Soul Condensation Realm at such a young age, his future is limitless! And you? You've been a mediocre businessman your whole life, how could you possibly be worthy of me? We're simply from different worlds!"
"So from now on, we have nothing to do with each other. Go back to your Yunzhou and be a good merchant. Don't embarrass yourself here!"
Each word was like a poisoned knife, stabbing Pang Shun'an's chest repeatedly, shattering his last shred of illusion and dignity.
He was struck dumb, staggered back a few steps, his face ashen, and his lips trembling violently.
"So...so that's how it is..."
Upon seeing this, the man surnamed Bai immediately understood. The fool in front of him was none other than Pang Shun'an, Chi Dandan's childhood sweetheart. He sneered, "I've heard of you. Dandan has been with you for so many years, and you haven't even dared to touch her hand. You're a real piece of trash. I was hoping to see what you could improve, but you're still a complete waste. Considering the amount of spirit stones you've contributed to me over the years, I won't pursue this offense against you. Now get lost! And in the future... stay away from Dandan!"
"..."
However, faced with the other party's mockery, Pang Shunan's eyes were filled with despair. He looked up at Chi Dandan one last time, as if to confirm that the woman in front of him was the "childhood sweetheart" in his memory.
Finally, he lowered his head, turned away, and wanted to leave as if he had lost his soul.
Just then, Shen Yunhao grabbed his arm and sighed deeply.
"You didn't listen to a single word I said..."
However, Pang Shunan shook his head listlessly, "It doesn't matter anymore...nothing matters anymore..."
"It's because there are too many people like you that everyone thinks betrayal goes unpunished... Since you refuse to accept it, then I, as the elder brother, will naturally have to do it for you!"
After saying that, Shen Yunhao stepped forward and pointed at Chi Dandan on the other side, "Hey you... you slut? If you have any shame, give back my brother's top-grade spirit stone first!"
Upon hearing this, Chi Dandan flew into a rage, "You bastard! Who are you calling a jerk!"
Shen Yunhao scratched his head. "Wait a minute, aren't you a slut? I clearly heard this guy call you that."
"..."
Upon hearing this, Chi Dandan immediately deflated, exclaiming in shock, "You...who are you, daring to openly spy on the disciples of my White Crane Temple!"
"I don't care what kind of bird or crane you are. You took my brother's spirit stones, so either provide the corresponding service or return the spirit stones. That's the right thing to do!"
Chi Dandan wanted to argue, but suddenly realized what she had said, her face turning bright red. "You...you scoundrel! How dare you insult me as a prostitute!"
"You're talking nonsense!" Shen Yunhao said seriously, "Calling you a prostitute is too insulting to these women. After all, they get paid and still do their jobs. All you do is shove your stinky mouth at them. Luckily, it didn't get on your lips, or you'd never be able to wash it off for the rest of your life!"
"You...you..."
These few words made Chi Dandan's eyelids roll back, and she finally couldn't hide her anger any longer, "I'm going to kill you!"
Just as she was about to make a move, the man next to her grabbed her arm.
The man's face darkened completely. "Where did this rogue cultivator come from, daring to act so presumptuously here? If you know what's good for you, take this piece of trash and get out of here! Otherwise..."
He snorted coldly, and the spiritual energy fluctuations of the late-stage Soul Condensation Realm emanating from his body carried a threatening tone, "Don't blame me for being impolite! White Crane Temple is not a place where you can run wild!"
Chi Dandan couldn't see it, but he could sense it. Shen Yunhao's cultivation was at the mid-stage of the Soul Condensation Realm. If Chi Dandan rushed up, it would be tantamount to suicide...
He deliberately emphasized the three words "White Crane Temple," clearly intending to use the sect's prestige to intimidate people.
But Shen Yunhao gave a cold laugh upon hearing this, his gaze piercing the man before him like an icy blade.
"White Crane Temple? What a show of power." Shen Yunhao's voice wasn't loud, but it carried a chilling coldness. "You've already committed a moral failing by indulging this woman's ingratitude and meanness. And now you dare to bully others and speak rudely? How come... White Crane Temple has raised such a bunch of scum?"
Upon hearing this, the man was startled.
He subconsciously felt that Shen Yunhao had a more powerful background, otherwise he wouldn't completely disregard Baihe Temple in Zhongzhou.
"Who are you? Dare to leave your name?"
"Just a nobody, but what about you, Senior Brother Bai?" Shen Yunhao stared at him coldly. "You keep mentioning Baihe Temple, don't you dare to give your name?"
"I am Bai Tianrui, a core disciple of Baihe Temple, and a disciple of Qingsong Daoren. Who are you to dare to spout such nonsense here?"
"Bai Tianrui? A core disciple?"
The man in front of me doesn't look very old, probably only in his early twenties.
Although a cultivator's age cannot be judged solely by appearances, it is not difficult to discern from their manner of doing things and their attitude that their actual cultivation time is not very long.
Such a young late-stage Soul Condensation Realm cultivator truly deserves the title of core disciple.
"I am... Piggy Hero! I am a reporter from the Misty Pavilion, and I enjoy reporting strange and unusual events to the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion. I think... Senior Brother Bai wouldn't want his name to appear in the next issue of Nine Provinces Miscellaneous News, making him known to everyone, right?"
