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

Upon hearing this, Gongsun Mili was immediately displeased!

She bit her red lips slightly, her eyebrows furrowed, her exquisite face filled with grievance and reluctance, and even her voice carried a hint of annoyance:

"Auntie! You...you...what did you tell me when you came? Didn't you say you'd only take one look? How come you're already taking me on as a disciple?!"

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, but then she heard Gongsun Chan mention "marriage contract," and it felt like a bucket of cold water had been poured over her from head to toe.

That feeling of annoyance was instantly replaced by a deep sense of powerlessness.

Yes... an engagement.

How could she have forgotten about that!

That marriage contract, like an invisible hand, gripped her heart tightly. The other party's background was extremely powerful.

Her background is unfathomable; even her father, who is the vice leader of the alliance,

They have no say in front of that person.

If the people over there found out that she was getting too close to other men, even... even that they had already had physical intimacy...

Given the opposing family's consistently domineering and tyrannical methods,

Even if Lin Fengmian had ten lives, it wouldn't be enough for him to die!

Gongsun's gaze fell on Lin Fengmian's handsome face, and her heart ached.

Aunt is right... The safest option is for him to stay with Aunt.

At least, Gongsun Chan is one of our own.

Even if others find out, they will at most think it's an elder helping a younger person, and won't think in that direction.

But when I think of the person I like,

She couldn't even protect him herself, and had to rely on her aunt to save him... That feeling of powerlessness surged into her heart like a tide, overwhelming her completely.

She lowered her eyes, her long eyelashes trembling slightly, her voice muffled, carrying a deep sense of grievance and a hint of defiance:

"You...do whatever you want! You won't listen to anything I say anyway!"

She stomped her foot, as if to vent her frustration.

He then turned around abruptly, transforming into a streak of light and speeding away into the distance.

That figure looked lonely and desolate.

Lin Fengmian stood there, watching the purple light grow farther and farther away, completely stunned.

After a long while, he finally came to his senses, his heart filled with turmoil.

engagement……

Yes! How could he forget that!

As the daughter of the vice leader of the Myriad Dao Immortal Alliance, Gongsun Mili was so beautiful and talented that it was impossible for her not to be coveted by others.

For women from prominent families, arranged marriages were commonplace!

It's ridiculous that he previously thought the other person was deliberately keeping him hanging, saying something about playing hard to get... Turns out, the reason the other person didn't come to see him for so long was clearly to protect him!

Thinking of this, Lin Fengmian felt an indescribable sense of guilt.

That bastard actually wronged someone!

Then I recalled Gongsun Mili's thin and aggrieved figure as she left.

He felt as if something was blocking his chest, making him feel suffocated.

This woman... not only gave herself to me, but also pushed me away to protect herself.

What merit or ability did Lin Fengmian possess to meet such a woman?

An impulse surged into my heart.

He almost wanted to speak up immediately and call that old bastard Li Cheng over!

Although the opponent was only manipulating the corpse puppet at the Great Perfection of the Golden Core stage, their divine sense was that of a true late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator!

If we let that old guy take action, killing a Nascent Soul cultivator would be a piece of cake.

In that case, who cares about any engagement? Just beat them into submission, right?

But just as he was about to speak, reason pulled him back.

No.

Li Cheng's current condition is already unstable; if we rashly let him take action...

What if you reveal your trump card and attract an even stronger enemy?

If this attracts a higher level of beings, not only will it fail to save Gongsun Mili, but it will also endanger both her and himself.

A small leak will sink a great ship.

He gritted his teeth, forcibly suppressing the impulse, and silently vowed in his heart: Mimi, you wait for me. When I am strong enough, I will definitely snatch you out of that damned engagement!

Seeing Lin Fengmian's dejected appearance, Gongsun Chan first raised an eyebrow in surprise, then, as if she had seen through something, chuckled softly and waved her slender finger in front of his eyes:

"My dear disciple, what are you daydreaming about?"

Her voice carried a hint of coquettishness, but her eyes were filled with a determined gleam:

"Don't worry, as long as you follow your master and cultivate diligently, I guarantee your cultivation will progress by leaps and bounds! Your strength will increase dramatically, and you'll be no match for any demons or monsters!"

As she spoke, she licked her red lips, looking at Lin Fengmian's handsome face with increasing satisfaction.

So beautiful, and with a pure Yang body, she is truly a gift from heaven!

Lin Fengmian snapped out of his daze and looked at the face before him that bore a resemblance to Gongsun Mili, yet possessed an added touch of lively charm.

The guilt in my heart reached its peak.

Normally, if such a beautiful female master were to throw herself into his arms, he would have greeted her with a smile.

But at this moment, all he could think about was the lonely figure of Gongsun Mili when she left, and he felt that Gongsun Chan in front of him didn't smell so good anymore.

He took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing his thoughts, and silently reminded himself: The Central Plains are a place where hidden talents abound.

Our current strength is too weak; not only can we barely protect ourselves, but we'll also cause trouble for Mili. Let's first acknowledge this cheap master and stabilize the situation!

He forced a perfectly measured smile of gratitude onto his face and cupped his hands in a gesture of respect, saying:

"Master, I really enjoy the tranquility of this peak. In the future... may I continue to cultivate here?"

We need our own territory for future operations. Besides, it's close to Gongsun Mili.

Gongsun Chan was overjoyed upon hearing this. She had been worried that the boy would insist on moving back to her place, but she hadn't expected him to be so sensible!

She immediately straightened her back, adopting a dignified posture befitting a teacher, and cleared her throat:

"Of course! My main peak, Lingmiao Peak, is only a hundred miles from here. If you have any questions about cultivation, big or small, you can come and ask me anytime!"

What she was thinking was:

This young man is that girl's sweetheart. If she weren't already engaged, it wouldn't be my turn to take him on.

Alright, let's cultivate our relationship first, and talk about dual cultivation later! This is such a fine furnace, this fairy wouldn't mind sharing it with Mili.

This kid's going to suffer, hehehe...

"Thank you, Master!"

On the surface, Lin Fengmian appeared grateful and flattered, but in his heart, he knew perfectly well what was going on. The woman's gaze was practically dripping with desire; it was obvious she was after his pure yang physique.

Sigh, sometimes being too charming is a problem! For now, I can only play dumb and fool everyone.

So, in the days that followed, Lin Fengmian began his diligent and studious performance.

He specifically sought out strange and unusual cultivation questions from Gongsun Chan, ostensibly to demonstrate his "diligence and thirst for knowledge."
