Good heavens, the ancestor has gone to confess his love again!

The words abruptly stopped!

As she reached the crucial point, she suddenly realized she had misspoke, her cheeks instantly turning bright red. She was both ashamed and angry, and she swallowed back the extremely private part of her sentence, tightly closing her red lips.

Even so, that short, ambiguous sentence resounded like a thunderclap throughout the entire venue!

In an instant, the pupils of all the onlookers shrank.

The previously noisy crowd instantly fell into an eerie silence, followed by a cacophony of quiet, suppressed whispers. All eyes darted back and forth between Liu Ruyan and Xu Pingsheng, their expressions a mixture of shock and amusement at the spectacle.

"You've stabbed Sect Leader Liu...?"

"Hiss—that's quite a statement! Not many people would use that word, and Liu Ruyan is so angry, could it be...?"

"Holy crap! Really? Although the Hehuan Sect has a bad reputation, Liu Ruyan has many male lovers, but I've never heard of anyone being able to win her over. This Xu Pingsheng actually has such ability?"

"My God! This young man looks so young and gentle, yet he's actually a ruthless person hiding his true strength? He's incredibly bold!"

"Huh?? What are you talking about? I'm a complete novice, I don't understand at all!"

"Hehe~~ Haven't you heard? What shines on your face in the morning isn't necessarily sunlight, what stabs you from behind isn't necessarily a knife, what you carry on your shoulders isn't necessarily responsibility, and what you cry out in anguish isn't necessarily a sign of injustice..."

"Oh, I see. So you passed the interview but failed the written test!"

"Pretty boys are all show and no substance!"

The hushed whispers densely penetrated her ears, each word precisely striking at Liu Ruyan's bottom line of shame and anger.

But this shame and anger lasted only a moment before being completely overwhelmed by overwhelming rage.

As the dignified leader of the Hehuan Sect, who has held the power of the sect for many years, when has he ever been subjected to such slander and loss of face in such a public setting?

Especially at the grand gathering of powerful figures from all over the Central Plains in this secret realm!

Liu Ruyan's chest heaved violently, her hands clenched tightly until her fingertips turned white, and even the alluring spiritual energy surrounding her became restless and unstable, trembling slightly.

Others might have thought it was just a common romantic entanglement, but only she knew how outrageous and humiliating that scene was back then!

That was not some consensual romance at all; it was an unexpected and undeserved disaster, a shadow etched into my body's memory that I can never erase for the rest of my life!

That so-called "Great Wilderness Imprisoning Heaven Finger" is the most disgusting cultivation technique in the world!

"Shut up, all of you!"

Liu Ruyan suddenly shouted coldly, her voice no longer charming, but instead carrying a hint of exasperated and stern anger.

The onlookers immediately fell silent, no longer daring to discuss it casually, but the gossip and amusement in their eyes remained undiminished.

Liu Ruyan raised her eyes, her beautiful, misty eyes fixed on Xu Pingsheng in front of her. Her eyes were filled with a mixture of shame, anger, resentment, and murderous intent, almost overflowing from her eyes.

She bit her red lips tightly, each word dripping with blood, each sentence laced with murderous intent:

"Xu Pingsheng, today, I will make sure you die here!"

As soon as he finished speaking, an intense killing intent swept outwards.

Liu Ruyan knew perfectly well that she was no match for Xu Pingsheng in a one-on-one fight.

Having personally experienced the opponent's unpredictable strength during the battle in Qingzhou, she knew that the gap between them was vast.

But things are different now.

She...can call for backup!

Liu Ruyan suddenly turned her head, looked into the depths of the sea of ​​clouds behind her, and shouted sharply, her voice echoing throughout the entire secret realm square:

"Zhang San, Li Si, Wang Wu, Song Liu, Xi Ba! Whoever can kill this brat, I will have a secret rendezvous with them under the moon, and I mean it!"

Before the words were finished, five powerful figures suddenly burst out of the clouds, their sharp, piercing wind-breaking sounds deafening, and landed in the arena, standing steadily beside Liu Ruyan.

The five individuals exuded a powerful and vast aura, their imperial might subtly swirling around them, their oppressive presence sweeping across all directions.

Four of them were top-tier cultivators at the mid-stage of Quasi-Emperor, possessing powerful and profound auras and abundant resources. The leader, in particular, had reached the late-stage of Quasi-Emperor, half a step into the Emperor realm, and his strength was unfathomable!

"Hahaha! Is Sect Leader Liu truly serious? Then I, of course, will gladly accept such a wonderful offer!"

"It's been a long time since I've stretched my muscles and bones; today I'll rid Sect Leader Liu of this wicked calamity!"

"Hehehe... Such a wonderful opportunity, and the beauty's kindness is immense; this brat's life is mine now!"

The five quasi-emperors laughed arrogantly, glancing at Xu Pingsheng but not taking him seriously at all.

The surrounding cultivators' expressions changed drastically, and they all retreated rapidly, instantly withdrawing tens of thousands of feet away, leaving a large open space.

joke!

If you stand too close to this pretty boy, and he gets killed by his former lackey, where can you go to seek justice?

Such a sensational commotion naturally attracted the attention of many bigwigs.

Li Qinglan's face turned ashen. She hadn't expected Xu Pingsheng to be so troublesome, offending Liu Ruyan and several quasi-emperors right away.

Pei Xiyue's delicate brows furrowed slightly, her gaze falling on Xu Pingsheng, and she murmured softly:

"Xu Pingsheng..."

It sounds familiar; I feel like I've heard it somewhere before!

Xu Pingsheng, at the center of the storm, twitched his lips, his heart filled with helplessness and headache.

Finished!

They're about to be completely exposed!

He wasn't afraid of a few quasi-emperors, but once he exposed his true strength, how could he possibly sneak into the Primordial Secret Realm and fish in troubled waters? He couldn't possibly take on all of these powerful figures by himself!

Just as the five quasi-emperors took their first steps!

A clear, melodious voice, like a mountain stream, suddenly rang out, piercing through the noise:

"stop!"

In a flash, a snow-white-clad girl appeared, riding the wind, and instantly arrived in front of Xu Pingsheng.

The girl stretched out her arms, steadily blocking him. Her figure was slender yet firm, resembling a mistress protecting her lover, firmly shielding Xu Pingsheng behind her.

The audience's inner monologue was flooded with questions: ???

Another stunningly beautiful and ethereal young girl has appeared.

Why can't this melon be guaranteed to be ripe?

But when everyone saw the girl's face clearly, all the discussions and uproar instantly stopped, and countless people's pupils suddenly shrank, filled with disbelief.

Snow White Heart!

Not long ago, Bai Zhixi announced that she was the youngest daughter of the Holy Lord Lingxiao.

The five imposing quasi-emperors froze in mid-air, their movements instantly halted.

This……

The five people looked helpless, turning to gaze at Bai Zhixi, who was slowly descending from the sky. Their eyes were filled with resignation, the unspoken message being clear:

Lady Holy Lord, please take control of your son!

Don't let her be fooled by some nobody!

Bai Zhixi moved with light, graceful steps, her simple white fairy dress swaying gently in the wind, exuding a gentle and pure temperament.

As a mother, she observed things far more meticulously than anyone else.

She clearly noticed that her daughter, who had been sullen just moments before, now had bright, sparkling eyes, brimming with joy and excitement, and her whole being exuded a vibrant and energetic aura, making her completely different from her usual self.

What shocked her even more was that Bai Xuexin had always had severe mysophobia and was extremely averse to being touched by others, not allowing outsiders to touch her at all.

But when she flew to block Xu Pingsheng, her body inadvertently touched his, yet she felt no resistance or discomfort; on the contrary, it felt exceptionally natural and intimate.

All these unusual signs came together, and a bold guess instantly surged into Bai Zhixi's mind, giving her a huge shock.

This kid...

Could it be that "Old Yellow Hair" that his daughter keeps hidden in her heart and refuses to talk about every day?

This doesn't look like an old man at all.

He's clearly an incredibly handsome young man!

Bai Zhixi's eyes darted around as she scrutinized Xu Pingsheng, like a mother-in-law looking at her son-in-law, growing more and more... fond of him the more she looked.

"Not bad, early stage of Great Saint cultivation, solid foundation..."

"So handsome! Even more handsome than her father! If only..."

Ptooey! Ptooey!

Bai Zhixi, oh Bai Zhixi, how old are you? What are you thinking about?

Bai Zhixi blushed and secretly spat at herself a few times.

Unbeknownst to anyone, Bai Suxin, who was standing quietly beside Bai Zhixi, was trembling slightly.

Her gaze was fixed on Xu Pingsheng, her mind churning with shock and disbelief.

How is that possible?!

Why is my Dao heart trembling violently?

Why is the soul so restless and uneasy?

Is it...

He was chosen by the Supreme Ruthless Path, the best person destined to be moved by emotions.
