After being jilted by the saintess at the beginning, why is she crying?

but--

Chu Qingyi had taken the initiative to dissolve the engagement, and although she said it before the divorce, her resolute attitude still bothered him somewhat.

more importantly--

Chu Qingyi did not appear when he was being hunted down and in danger.

Nangong Li, Yun Caiyue, and even Xiao Xiyue all helped him at crucial moments.

This comparison made Lin Fengmian's attitude towards Chu Qingyi somewhat complicated.

So at that moment, he simply nodded slightly and looked away.

Looking at his indifferent expression, Chu Qingyi bit her lip, her eyes slightly red.

She wanted to speak, to call out to him, to talk to him—

But in the end, she didn't say anything.

He simply stood there, watching the figure in the blue robe gradually disappear into the distance.

-

The next morning.

Before Chenshi (7-9 AM), the square was already full of people.

Lin Fengmian arrived on time, stood in the crowd, and looked up at the silver flying boat hovering in mid-air.

The airship looks even more magnificent than it did yesterday.

The boat was entirely silver-white, long and sleek, covered with densely packed restrictive runes, with spiritual light constantly flowing across it.

At the bow of the boat, a large flag flutters in the wind, bearing the three characters "Hehuan Sect" in sharp strokes and a majestic presence.

The entire airship exuded a faint aura of power, making people afraid to approach.

Lin Fengmian nodded inwardly.

This flying boat is more than twice the size of the one we used to go to the secret realm last time.

The sheer number and strength of the restrictions above clearly indicate that they were carefully arranged.

As expected of an event representing the sect's reputation, the scale and pomp are truly extraordinary.

and--

The destination we are going to is the Great Yan Dynasty, a long journey spanning tens of thousands of miles.

Without such a flying boat, relying solely on flying on a sword, it would probably take several months to arrive.

Lin Fengmian withdrew his gaze and looked at the platform below the flying boat.

The Crimson Lotus Immortal is already here.

Today, she is still wearing a red dress.

but--

Lin Fengmian could tell that the other person's dress was much more dignified than usual.

The neckline was pulled up higher, and the skirt was longer, revealing only a section of her fair, jade-like ankle.

But even so—

The wine-red fabric still couldn't conceal her exquisite and curvaceous figure.

Her full, high breasts stretched the fabric taut, as if they might burst at any moment.

With a slender waist and smooth curves, she stood there like a ripe peach, exuding an alluring charm.

It makes you want to go up and pinch it a couple of times.

Lin Fengmian glanced at it only once before quickly looking away.

If I keep watching, I'm afraid I'll embarrass myself.

Beside Master Honglian stood two elderly men with white hair.

The man and woman were both elders of the True Inheritance Peak, exuding the aura of the Core Formation stage.

These are people who are going to travel together.

Clearly, the Hehuan Sect attaches great importance to this grand competition of prodigies.

-

When Chenshi (7-9 AM) arrives.

Master Honglian looked around and, seeing that everyone had arrived, nodded to the elder beside her.

"Set off."

The elder accepted the order and raised his hand to form a hand seal.

With a hum, the silver flying boat's protective seals lit up, and a beam of light shot out from the bottom of the boat, landing on the platform.

"Boat."

True Person Honglian stepped into the pillar of light first, and in a flash, appeared on the deck of the flying boat.

The crowd followed closely behind and boarded the flying boat one by one.

Once everyone was in position, the airship roared to life and slowly took off.

immediately--

"call out!"

With a flash of silver light, the flying boat transformed into a streak of light and sped towards the direction of the Great Yan Dynasty.

-

On the flying boat.

The atmosphere was very subtle.

Lin Fengmian found a seat by the window and sat down, watching the clouds and mountains rushing past outside, secretly admiring them.

This flying boat is many times faster than the speed of an ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator flying on a sword.

At this rate, we should be able to reach the Great Yan Dynasty in three to five days.

but--

What's even more beautiful than the scenery outside the window is the scenery around us.

Sitting next to Lin Fengmian were Chu Qingyi and Xiao Xiyue.

Two stunning beauties flanked Lin Fengmian from the left and right.

Chu Qingyi wore a light blue dress, exuding a cool and aloof temperament, like a blue lotus.

Xiao Xiyue wore a moon-white long dress, her temperament indifferent, like a white lotus.

The two sat together, each with their own unique charm, both so beautiful that it was impossible to look away.

Lin Fengmian felt a wonderful sense of satisfaction as he listened to the faint fragrance emanating from both sides.

A female senior student was sitting opposite him.

The woman was dressed in a light purple dress, with a beautiful face and gentle temperament. She had an elegant and sweet smile on her lips and was looking at Lin Fengmian with great interest.

Liu Shiyin.

A disciple of the Hehuan Sect, with a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivation level.

It is said that he comes from a good family and has a certain reputation within the sect.

At this moment, she was looking at Lin Fengmian with a smile, her eyes filled with curiosity and inquiry.

Apparently—

This prominent figure in the Hehuan Sect has piqued her interest.

Lin Fengmian nodded slightly to her as a greeting.

Liu Shiyin smiled even more sweetly, her smile as gentle as the warm spring sun, making everyone feel better just by looking at her.

however--

Opposite these gentle gazes were several undisguised expressions of hostility.

Xiao Sheng, Chen Qingxuan, and that Xiao family disciple were sitting on the other side of the flying boat, their eyes fixed on Lin Fengmian.

Xiao Sheng's eyes were particularly sinister.

He looked at Xiao Xiyue beside Lin Fengmian, then at Chu Qingyi on the other side, his heart filled with intense jealousy and hatred.

These two women—

It should have belonged to him all along!

But now, they are all sitting next to that good-for-nothing, one on each side, just like his women!

Xiao Sheng sneered inwardly.

Let's wait—

Once his ancestor recovers from his injuries and emerges from seclusion, the entire Hehuan Sect will belong to the Xiao family!

At that time, neither of these two women will be able to escape!

Chen Qingxuan's face was also gloomy, his eyes fixed on Lin Fengmian like a venomous snake.

He didn't have any particular feelings for Chu Qingyi or Xiao Xiyue.

He simply hated Lin Fengmian.

He hated him for defeating him in public and making him lose face.

She resented him for stealing all her limelight and making her the laughingstock of the sect.

This hatred was purer and more insane than Xiao Sheng's jealousy.

-

Lin Fengmian felt incredibly pleased as he listened to the envious, jealous, and hateful gazes coming from the other side.

Beautiful scenery, beautiful women embracing.

This is the kind of life a man should enjoy!

He smiled slightly and reached out to put his arm around Xiao Xiyue's waist.

Xiao Xiyue's body stiffened slightly, her ears turned red, but she did not push him away.

He simply turned his head to the side, pretending to look at the scenery outside the window.

Seeing this, Chu Qingyi bit her lip, her eyes filled with even more resentment.

Lin Fengmian pretended not to see it, but in his heart he was making plans—

Chu Qingyi, that woman...

To be honest, he still had feelings for her.

After all, she was the first woman he had ever been with in this world.

but--

She failed to appear at several crucial moments in the past.
