Transmigrating into the body of a white-haired fairy, she also encounters a late-born woman seeking

"Chu Yang, my leave of absence from the Xuanling Sect is only for one month, and almost twenty days have passed. If I don't go back soon, I won't be able to explain myself."

Are you going to let me go back or not?

now.

As they left Qingyang City and followed behind Chu Yang, Lin Xi looked at the man and couldn't help but ask.

She stayed at the Chu family for more than ten days. Considering the journey to and from the Xuanling Sect, she could stay here for no more than five days.

However, Chu Yang's whereabouts these days have been inexplicable, so she didn't ask any questions.

She was just more curious about what Chu Yang would do after she returned to the Xuanling Sect.

Will they let her go?

After all, he had said before that he would not let himself out of his grasp.

Chu Yang strode ahead, his indifferent voice carrying him.

"You think you can escape my control just by returning to the Xuanling Sect?"

"Don't worry, I will let you go back. I will even go to the Xuanling Sect myself later."

"But not now."

"You're going to the Xuanling Sect? What are you going to do there?" Lin Xi felt a chill run down her spine.

She couldn't resist testing the waters.

"Are you going to join the Xuanling Sect or is there something else?"

Chu Yang stopped and glanced at Lin Xi.

"What? Are you afraid that our marriage will be exposed? That people will look down on us?"

Lin Xi was stunned for a moment, but quickly came to her senses.

It's no wonder Chu Yang had this idea, because Lin Xi, who came to annul the engagement before, had the same thought in mind.

Although the Chu family is one of the four major families in Qingyang City, the strongest member of the Chu family is only a half-step Emperor.

It is completely different from the Xuanling Sect.

If the disciples of the Xuanling Sect knew that Lin Xi's marriage partner was an unknown boy from a small town, there would always be people who would jump out and find fault.

After all, no one is perfect, even if she is one of the Five Beauties.

Of course, if they knew Chu Yang's true secret, that would be a different story.

"That's not what I meant. This is the deadline set by my master. After all, she is extremely strict with me."

Chu Yang stared into Lin Xi's eyes for a few seconds before turning around and continuing his journey.

"The Xuanling Sect has what I need, so I will temporarily join the Xuanling Sect for the time being."

"Do you have anything you need?"

"So where are you taking me now?"

"This is the first time you've taken me out."

"Tomorrow night, a ruin will appear a hundred miles west of Qingyang City. It was left behind by a Heavenly Venerable Realm expert named Chi Yuan Elder."

"He was just one step away from breaking through to the Saintly Realm, but unfortunately he failed and ended up hiding in this desolate place for hundreds of years."

"In these ruins of the Crimson Origin, there are the legacies and treasures left behind by that person before his death," Chu Yang explained.

"So you've set your sights on the inheritance of these Crimson Origin Ruins and want to acquire it?"

Curiosity flickered in Lin Xi's eyes.

After all, it is extremely rare for them to come into contact with the inheritance of a Saint Realm expert.

"This Crimson Origin Power is extremely strong and yang, and the Crimson Origin Spirit Pearl that was formed from it during its lifetime is beneficial to me," Chu Yang said without any hesitation.

"......"

"So this is something you knew in your past life? And you wanted to possess it as soon as you encountered it?"

Chu Yang did not reply, but that was naturally what he was thinking.

In his previous life, after being defeated by Lin Xi, he immediately traveled to Qingyang City to seek an opportunity to become stronger.

The ruins of the Red Yuan Dynasty passed him by.

Now that I've encountered this opportunity, I certainly won't let it go easily.

After a brief explanation, Chu Yang remained silent.

Lin Xi could only obediently follow behind him.

As I drove along the roads of Qingyang City, I was surrounded by a constant flow of people.

Even though Lin Xi was wearing a veil, her temperament and figure still attracted the attention of countless people around her.

His naked gaze was fixed on her, his eyes a mixture of surprise and fervor.

"Holy crap, when did Qingyang City ever have such a beauty? Whose young lady is this? How come I didn't know her??"

"You're overthinking it. Someone with such looks could never be from Qingyang City; she must be an outsider."

"Such elegance, such a figure—she's the white-haired fairy of my dreams! If she didn't look so aloof, I would have loved to go up and strike up a conversation..."

"You're all incredibly ignorant! If I'm not mistaken, judging by her appearance, she should be Lin Xi, Chu Yang's fiancée from the Chu family!"

"Ah? Lin Xi? That Fairy Lin Xi from the Xuanling Sect?!"

"That's right. Rumor has it that Fairy Lin Xi and Chu Yang of the Chu family had a marriage contract since childhood. A dozen days ago, she even went to Chu Yang's house to break off the engagement. But to everyone's surprise, Fairy Lin Xi was defeated in the battle with Chu Yang, which led to the failure of the engagement and she disappeared without a trace."

"I never expected to see her walking down the street with Chu Yang like this. Their relationship seems quite close. Could the rumors be false?"

"What?! Fairy Lin Xi failed to annul her engagement?! That Chu Yang deserves to die! How dare he have such a fiancée?!"

"Why should I?!"

"Exactly!"

"Since Fairy Lin Xi wants to annul the engagement, then I'll help her make Chu Yang give up his improper thoughts and back down! Maybe I can even win Fairy Lin Xi's favor."

"You idiot, you think Chu Yang is still just a Qi Gathering Realm cultivator after he defeated Lin Xi?"

"He's a genuine Core Formation Realm expert! And he even defeated a true disciple of the Xuanling Sect. This Chu Yang is hiding his true strength; can you possibly be his match?"

"Furthermore, the Chu family is the head of the four major families in Qingyang City. Is your background stronger than theirs? I think you've been blinded by beauty!"

"Forehead....."

"......"

The appearance of Lin Xi and Chu Yang attracted the attention of most people in Qingyang City.

And it seems that because of their status and strength, the number of prying eyes has decreased.

They followed Chu Yang all the way to the West City and sat down in a restaurant belonging to the Disciplinary Chamber of Commerce.

The Fengji Chamber of Commerce is the largest chamber of commerce in Qingyang City, and the restaurants in this area are also places where foreign merchants stop, so there are few people around.

Chu Yang arranged for the two of them to sit in a corner with a good view.

Lin Xi was puzzled as she watched the other person order a variety of dishes.

If he wanted to seize the inheritance, shouldn't he have gone to the Crimson Origin Ruins?

Why did we come to this restaurant?

However, she didn't want to ask any more questions, and once the dishes were served, she simply buried herself in her food.

After all, in her previous life, she had always focused on making a living during her university years.

Lin Xi idly ate for almost an hour.

Chu Yang, sitting opposite him, could no longer hold back.

"You've already changed the dishes three times, and you're still eating?"

"Are you a pig? How can you eat so much?"

"This is the first time I've ever seen this kind of dish, and I couldn't resist trying it all." Lin Xi wasn't angry.

"......"

Chu Yang was speechless for a moment.
