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

The Hehuan Sect is known for its open-mindedness throughout the Xuantian Continent.

The balance of Yin and Yang and the practice of dual cultivation between men and women are considered one of the most basic and effective methods of spiritual practice.

Apart from a very few disciples of exceptional status who rely on cauldrons for cultivation, such as Chu Qingyi...

The vast majority of disciples cannot do without the mutual support and joint progress of their fellow practitioners.

Here, changing partners for dual cultivation is commonplace.

Couples who swear eternal love today might find one of them achieving a breakthrough tomorrow.

If you feel that the other person can no longer keep up with you, you will kick them without hesitation.

We're all cultivators, where would we find the energy to talk about relationships?

Therefore, the procedures for ending a Daoist couple relationship within a sect have been simplified to the extreme.

The office located in "Yuanding Pavilion" emphasizes efficiency in all matters.

Lin Fengmian and Chu Qingyi stepped into the side hall of Yuanding Pavilion.

"Name"

"..."

"Were both parties acting voluntarily?"

"Yes"

With a flick of his finger, the deacon recorded the information onto a jade slip.

Then, with a flash of light, two jade tokens representing the dissolution of the Daoist couple contract flew into the hands of the two individuals respectively.

"Alright, our relationship ends here. Take care."

The deacon waved his hand.

"Next!!!"

The whole process was so fast it was almost dizzying.

Just a few minutes ago, they were nominally a couple, but a few minutes later, they were two people with no connection whatsoever.

Stepping out of Yuanding Pavilion, the afternoon sun was a bit too bright.

Chu Qingyi held the jade pendant, but the joy she had expected did not come.

Instead, it felt as if a piece of it had been hollowed out, giving rise to an indescribable sense of loss.

She turned her head to look at Lin Fengmian beside her.

This guy... there's not a trace of sadness on his face.

He was looking around brazenly.

Her eyes gleamed as she scanned the passing female disciples of the Hehuan Sect.

Lin Fengmian was indeed making plans in his mind.

Having regained my freedom, it's like being a bird with the sky at my back!

With his once-in-a-millennium pure yang body and the methods he used in his previous life, wouldn't he be able to thrive in the open-minded Hehuan Sect?

At the same time, "appeasing" several Foundation Establishment stage senior and junior sisters to quickly improve their cultivation levels seems to be no difficult task.

She may not be able to reach the Golden Core stage yet, but one should always have dreams.

Chu Qingyi looked at his carefree and heartless demeanor.

An unnamed anger suddenly flared up.

She was a dignified saintess, admired by countless disciples within the sect.

When I ended things with him, instead of being sad or trying to win him back, he was overjoyed, as if he had gotten a great deal.

My first time, my first kiss, the most private parts of my body... I gave them all to this bastard!

"Hmph!" Chu Qingyi snorted coldly, suppressing her discomfort and adopting the haughty demeanor of a saintess.

"Lin Fengmian, you'd better pack up and move out of the Holy Maiden's Palace today!"

I don't want Brother Ye Fan to see you still living there after he comes out of seclusion, causing unnecessary misunderstandings!

Lin Fengmian withdrew his gaze from the surroundings and casually replied:

"Okay, I'll pack my bags today."

As he spoke, his gaze involuntarily drifted to a graceful female cultivator in purple robes passing by not far away.

He secretly praised the Joyful Union Sect, saying it truly lived up to its reputation.

While not all of them may have Chu Qingyi's exceptional face and figure, they are all rare beauties.

Seeing how readily he agreed, and how his attention was completely elsewhere, Chu Qingyi felt even more uncomfortable.

She couldn't help but wonder, if she hadn't been engaged to Ye Fan beforehand, would she... would she have tried to accept him?

After all, although he was annoying to talk about and acted recklessly,

But undeniably, she didn't reject the feeling of those three days of dual cultivation... and sometimes... ptooey!

What am I thinking?

It must be his pure Yang holy body aura that is influencing and disturbing my mind!

Brother Ye Fan is the one I truly love, he is the Daoist partner I've always wanted!

Seeing Lin Fengmian's absent-minded appearance, Chu Qingyi suppressed her inexplicable displeasure and spoke again:

"Also, you're not allowed to mention anything about us... about what happened between us to anyone! I'm afraid that if Brother Ye Fan finds out, it will affect our relationship."

She paused, her voice lowering slightly, tinged with awkwardness.

"Furthermore, you are not allowed to come to the Saintess Temple to see me again without my permission. I... I will not see you."

"Okay, okay, okay."

Lin Fengmian waved his hand dismissively, his tone relaxed.

"As long as you, Holy Maiden, send over the promised pills and spirit stones as soon as possible, that will be fine."

"You!" Chu Qingyi's chest heaved slightly with anger.

Even though they were about to go their separate ways, he was still only thinking about those spirit stones and pills!

Is this cold, transactional relationship all that's left between them?

"Hmph! I've already entrusted my family's alchemy master to refine the pills. Once they're complete, I'll naturally send someone to deliver them to you!"

Chu Qingyi said irritably.

"Okay." Lin Fengmian nodded, his tone calm and even.

The two walked silently along the path leading to the Temple of the Holy Maiden, the atmosphere somewhat tense.

The closer they got to parting, the clearer the emptiness in Chu Qingyi's heart became.

This was completely different from what she had expected!

She had thought that when they ended their relationship, Lin Fengmian would at least show reluctance, or even cry and beg her not to separate.

But the reality is that he couldn't wait to regain his freedom.

They've even started looking for "the next one."

Why does she, the saintess, seem more like someone who is used and discarded, kicked aside?

Taking a deep breath, Chu Qingyi stopped and turned to look at Lin Fengmian.

Sunlight filtered through the leaves, casting dappled shadows on his face.

She suppressed her emotions and tried her best to make her voice sound calm:

"Lin Fengmian, you and I... are about to part ways. Is there... anything else you want to say to me?"

Lin Fengmian was taken aback upon hearing this and looked at her with some surprise.

What's wrong with this woman?

All the formalities have been completed, so why are there still so many questions?

Could it be... that my "efforts" these past few days have actually led him to some other interpretation?

He was quickly calculating in his mind, but a half-smile appeared on his face.

"Yes," he said.

Chu Qingyi felt a sudden surge of joy, as if she were anticipating something, but she maintained a reserved and indifferent demeanor on her face.

"Go ahead and tell me, I'm listening."

Lin Fengmian's lips curled into a wicked smile, and he suddenly took a step forward, quietly closing the distance.

Chu Qingyi's body stiffened slightly as she felt his familiar aura approaching.

Her heart skipped a beat, but she forced herself not to back down.

"Tell me quickly!"

She urged him on, her voice unconsciously softening.

Lin Fengmian leaned down and whispered in her glistening ear,

The warm breath brushed against her sensitive skin.

Then, in a low, ambiguous voice that only the two of them could hear, he said, word by word:
