Trading system, I exchanged vegetables for golden pills.

The old man was hesitating whether to tell the story or not, since it wasn't exactly something to be proud of.

It's embarrassing that his apprentice was bullied and he, as the master, couldn't even stand up for his disciple.

As a result, the young man who knelt down to apologize answered first.

"Reporting to the Holy Maiden, our private room at a restaurant has been taken by several members of the Xuanmen sect—the very spot we had originally agreed upon!"

"Since this is the meeting place we arranged with You, Holy Maiden, and it's been taken, we naturally have to go up and argue with them!"

"They were completely unreasonable. No matter how much we pleaded, they just wouldn't leave. In the end, after a few words, they attacked us, even forcing me to the ground and making me kowtow, humiliating me."

"Not only that, they also beat the second brother until he vomited blood. In order to avoid further trouble, we withdrew first, changed the meeting place, and waited for the saintess's instructions."

"My personal humiliation is a small matter, but the damage to the sect's reputation is a big deal. Their actions clearly show they're disrespecting our sect!"

The young man who knelt down to apologize spoke with righteous indignation, bitterly recounting Ah Long's crimes.

The woman in the white dress raised an eyebrow: "Oh, is that so?!"

The old man nodded: "Holy Maiden, please forgive me for bringing you here. There was no other way. There was one person among them whose cultivation I couldn't fathom, and whose words seemed to possess an irresistible power. I guess either their strength surpasses mine, or they have some special methods!"

The woman in the white dress became increasingly interested.

"Oh, interesting! There aren't many people stronger than you. Which sect elder are you?"

The old man was somewhat embarrassed: "Uh, Holy Maiden, we don't know their sect, and they are just four young people, three men and one woman!"

The woman in the white dress frowned: "Young man? His strength surpasses yours?"

The old man nodded: "Yes, young man, but I don't know him. That's what I find strange. I know all the young prodigies from those major sects, but this person isn't among them, so I didn't make any rash moves."

The woman in the white dress frowned, a hint of seriousness creeping into her expression. "Are they still there? Take me to see them. Has some other prodigy appeared yet?"

"They must still be there. We've only been gone for less than half an hour. They should be eating right now. If we go over there now, we'll definitely be able to catch them!" the young man who was kowtowing and apologizing hurriedly said.

With the Holy Maiden's intervention, one is worth two.

This is a great opportunity for revenge!

The woman in the white dress nodded: "Come on, take me there!"

"Alright!" The young man who kowtowed and apologized led the way like a respectful servant, bowing and scraping.

The other young people were also secretly excited, fawning over him.

And so the group returned to the small restaurant they had just been in.

This time, it was the same young man who kowtowed and apologized again who pushed open the door, with an air of "You didn't expect this, did you? I'm back again!"

Ye Chen and his friends were eating and chatting when a group of people suddenly rushed in.

"Put down your chopsticks, all of you!" the young man who was kowtowing and apologizing shouted coldly.

Ye Chen glanced at the group of people who had entered and was slightly taken aback.

He wasn't surprised by their return, but rather by the woman in the white dress.

Ye Chen was surprisingly familiar with that woman; it seemed like he had seen her somewhere before, but where exactly?

After thinking it over, Ye Chen finally realized that this woman was none other than the fairy sister from Xiao Hu's dream.

Holy crap, the person from my dream finally met in real life!

If Xiaohu saw this, he would be overjoyed!

It's a little magical to see someone from another person's dream.

What surprised Ye Chen even more was the woman's cultivation level.

This woman looks to be only in her early thirties, but her cultivation level has already reached the Foundation Establishment stage!

That faint, almost imperceptible aura suggests that he has only recently broken through.

This was the first time Ye Chen had ever seen such a young Foundation Establishment cultivator.

Of course, he and Ah Long and Xiao Qi are exceptions...

She's reached the Foundation Establishment stage at such a young age; it seems the sect behind this woman is no ordinary sect.

No wonder he could enter Xiaohu's dream and teach him cultivation methods.

Unfortunately, Xiao Hu forgot most of it after waking up, otherwise, he would have gained a Foundation Establishment master for free, which would have been a very impressive thing.

"Hey kid, where are you looking? Do you want me to gouge your eyes out?" The young man who was kowtowing angrily pointed at Ye Chen.

In his view, Ye Chen staring directly at their Holy Maiden was a very offensive act!

Ye Chen glanced at him sideways: "Is she your wife? Do you have a problem with me looking at her for a couple of seconds?"

The young man who was kowtowing was immediately speechless, his face turning bright red. Was he kidding? The saintess was his wife?

If anyone else in the sect heard this, he'd be in deep trouble!

The young man who was kowtowing hurriedly shouted angrily, "Boy, stop talking nonsense! If you dare to offend our Holy Maiden again, believe me, I'll make sure you don't see the sun rise tomorrow!"

Ye Chen shook his head: "I don't believe it. You wouldn't dare to act recklessly in broad daylight, would you?"

The young man who was kowtowing twitched his face. Well, he really didn't dare to do anything reckless.

The Holy Maiden is still here; it's not his place to act recklessly!

And the key point is that he probably couldn't beat Ye Chen either...

As Ye Chen looked at the woman in the white dress, she was also sizing him up, a flash of surprise crossing her eyes.

After a long pause, the woman in the white dress slowly spoke: "You are Ye Chen?!"

Ye Chen smiled slightly: "What, you still recognize me?"

The woman in the white dress smiled and said, "There are probably very few people who don't recognize you now!"

Ye Chen chuckled lightly: "That old man and those three handsome guys don't recognize me, and they just wanted to throw me out right away!"

The woman in the white dress glanced at the group of people beside her and said, "They're just blind."

The old man and the young men were all sweating. What the heck? The Holy Maiden actually knows this young man?

No, no, you can't joke like that.

They're here to cause trouble, you know what that means?

And then the two of them started chatting and laughing? Does that mean they're going to be in trouble?

"I don't know where our sect disciples offended Mr. Ye just now, so I apologize on their behalf!"

The woman in the white dress gave Ye Chen a slight bow, her posture very humble.

This scene made the people present feel as if they had fallen into an ice cave.

That's it, we probably can't get this back!

Ye Chen was also slightly surprised. Why was this woman being so polite to him?

What's that saying again? "When two people exchange glances, they're either up to no good or a thief!"

Ye Chen directly established a mental bridge with the woman in the white dress, sharing the events that had just occurred with her.

This is simply to make it clear that the fault does not lie with them.

After all, he didn't want to cause any more trouble; misunderstandings are easy to resolve.

There's no need to have any unpleasantness with someone from the same sect.
