The spiritual energy was restored, and he became a mortal immortal in two days.

"Qingyi, we owe you a lot this time."

Su Yanhan walked to Yue Qingyi's side, wanting to reach out and take her arm. "If you hadn't arrived in time, I really wouldn't have been able to deal with this dilapidated Taoist temple..."

His hand was halfway out.

It suddenly stopped.

He didn't stop it himself.

It was blocked in mid-air by an invisible force.

Su Yanhan was stunned.

He looked down at his hands.

That hand was only three inches away from Yue Qingyi's arm.

But those three inches seemed like an insurmountable chasm; no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't advance even an inch further.

"Qingyi?"

Su Yanhan raised his head and looked at Yue Qingyi, his eyes full of doubt and confusion, "You........"

Yue Qingyi slowly turned her head to look at him.

A hint of emotion finally appeared in those clear, cold eyes.

But it wasn't gentle, nor was it kind.

Rather, it was disgust.

Naked disgust.

"Who gave you permission to touch me?"

When Yue Qingyi spoke, her voice was as cold as ice.

Su Yanhan trembled all over.

"Qingyi, I... I am your Daoist partner..."

He spoke with difficulty, his voice tinged with disbelief.

"A Daoist partner?"

Yue Qingyi scoffed, "You think you're worthy?"

Su Yanhan felt as if she had been struck by lightning.

He stared blankly at Yue Qingyi, at that face that had once haunted his dreams but was now as cold as ice, his mind a complete blank.

He doesn't understand.

He really didn't understand.

Haven't they been living in peace for the past three years?

Although Yue Qingyi was indifferent to him, she at least outwardly acknowledged him as her Daoist partner.

At least within the Lingyuan Sect, within the Lingxiao Sect, and in front of outsiders, they were a recognized couple.

But now...

"Qingyi, what... what do you mean by this?"

Su Yanhan's voice trembled.

"Isn't my meaning clear enough?"

Yue Qingyi looked at him coldly, "Su Yanhan, from now on, you are no longer my Daoist partner."

Every word was like a knife, stabbing deeply into Su Yanhan's heart.

He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but found that he couldn't utter a single word.

He could only stand there blankly, looking at Yue Qingyi, at her cold face, at her eyes filled with disgust.

"No...it's impossible..."

Su Yanhan muttered to himself, his voice hoarse, "Qingyi, you're joking, aren't you? You must be..."

"I'm not joking."

"Su Yanhan, you're too weak."

Yue Qingyi interrupted him, "I already have a better candidate when it comes to a Daoist partner."

"No...it's impossible..."

Su Yanhan collapsed to the ground, his eyes glazed over, repeatedly muttering those three words.

He couldn't believe it, he absolutely couldn't believe that Yue Qingyi would treat him like this.

They cultivated together for three years; even if there were no feelings involved, there were at least some conflicts of interest.

He possesses the ultimate Yang Dao Body. Under heaven, whose physique is more suitable for Yue Qingyi's cultivation of the "Moonlight True Technique"?

"Qingyi! I don't believe anyone can surpass me!"

He practically yelled it out.

He was not reconciled.

He gave so much, but in the end he was just thrown away like a dog.

Yue Qingyi floated in the air, her skirt swaying gently, the moonlight flowing around her.

She looked down at Su Yanhan, and a trace of genuine emotion finally flashed in his usually cold eyes—

Mocking.

"Extreme Yang Dao Body?"

Yue Qingyi parted her lips slightly, her voice as clear as ice striking stone, "Yes, your constitution is indeed quite good."

She paused, then turned her gaze to the young man in white at the entrance of the Taoist temple.

It turned out that Chen Xuan had returned to the Taoist temple sometime earlier and was frowning as he looked at the two guys.

"Your junior brother, Chen Xuan."

She spoke those five words softly, yet they struck Su Yanhan's heart like five thunderbolts.

Su Yanhan trembled violently, turning sharply to look at Chen Xuan, his eyes filled with disbelief: "Him? How could he... He was in a coma for five years and just woke up..."

"Just woke up?"

Yue Qingyi interrupted him, a cold smile curving her lips. "Su Yanhan, do you really think I came here knowing nothing?"

She slowly descended to the ground, her moon-white dress spotless.

"I did my research before coming to Qingzhou City."

Yue Qingyi's voice was calm, yet it was like a blunt knife, slowly cutting away at Su Yanhan's last shred of dignity.

"Your junior brother, a few days after waking up, destroyed the Xuanmiao Temple, which had seized the Taoist temple. It was a Buddhist temple with half-step Golden Core cultivators."

Su Yanhan's pupils suddenly contracted.

"Then, he destroyed the Xu family, the most powerful family in the country."

Yue Qingyi continued, "The old ancestor of the Xu family, who was at the Golden Core stage, couldn't even last three moves against him."

"That's not all."

Yue Qingyi looked at Su Yanhan's increasingly pale face, her voice tinged with amusement, "Later, some things happened in Qingyang City, all of which were covered up by Lingxiao using the Mountain and River Map."

She paused, then spoke slowly and deliberately:

"And the reason is your junior brother, Chen Xuan."

Su Yanhan felt as if she had been struck by lightning.

He collapsed to the ground, his whole body trembling.

Chen Xuan... a good-for-nothing who's been in a coma for five years... how could he possibly be this strong?

"No...it's impossible..."

Su Yanhan muttered to himself.

A strange light shone in Yue Qingyi's eyes. "He is a reincarnated being."

She looked at Chen Xuan, a hint of seriousness appearing in her eyes for the first time.

"Moreover, he is a very strong reincarnated being."

"I am many times stronger than you, a guy who barely managed to reach the late Foundation Establishment stage by relying on my support and the sect's resources."

Every word was like a heavy hammer, striking Su Yanhan's heart hard.

"As for your junior sister Lu Yao..."

Yue Qingyi's gaze shifted to Lu Yao, who was still suspended in mid-air, a rare hint of appreciation flashing in her eyes. "Heavenly Spiritual Root plus Divine Mansion, do you know what that means?"

"It means that as long as she has enough resources and time, her future achievements will not be inferior to mine."

Celestial Spiritual Root........Divine Palace........

Su Yanhan was completely dumbfounded.

He never knew that his junior sister possessed such unparalleled talent!

"So, Su Yanhan."

Yue Qingyi withdrew her gaze and looked at him again, her voice full of undisguised contempt.

"Your junior brother is an unparalleled expert who has been reincarnated, and your junior sister is a cultivation prodigy who appears only once in ten thousand years."

She paused, leaned down, and whispered in Su Yanhan's ear in a voice only the two of them could hear:

"And you......."

"It's the worst one at Xianyun Temple."

The worst one.

These four words, like a poisoned dagger, pierced Su Yanhan's heart.

He suddenly raised his head, looked at Yue Qingyi, then at Chen Xuan, and then at the junior sister who had been inconspicuous since childhood in mid-air.

Then, he suddenly laughed.

They laughed hysterically, laughing until tears streamed down their faces.

"Hahaha........Hahahaha........"

He was laughing so hard his whole body was shaking; he was laughing like a madman.

It turned out to be the case.

It turns out he was the worst one.

It turns out that the master's favoritism wasn't because he was biased, but because he was truly incompetent.

It turns out that the junior sister's eyes always held disappointment when she looked at him, not because she was immature, but because he, as her senior brother, was truly unworthy.

It turns out that Chen Xuan could only barely win by a move or two each time they sparred, not because Chen Xuan was not strong enough, but because Chen Xuan was saving face for him.

turn out to be........

He's a complete waste of space.

Utterly worthless.
