"Since my junior sister has given me something, I, as her senior brother, should reciprocate."

The next second, he took out an exquisite emerald green spirit sword from his spatial ring.

The spirit sword is exquisite and light, and can be seen to be a spirit sword used by a woman.

The aura emanating from it made Lin Xi secretly alarmed.

"This is... a Saint-grade Spirit Sword??"

"That's right, this sword is indeed a sacred-grade magic weapon, and its name is Feng Ying."

"The characteristics of this sword are its lightness and lightning-fast speed, while also enhancing the user's sword intent."

"With Feng Ying in my junior sister's hands, I believe she will be able to unleash her full power."

Shen Lingtian's eyes were filled with tenderness as he handed Feng Ying to Lin Xi.

"Junior sister, I have never been so devoted to anyone in my life, nor have I ever given my all to anyone."

"We have been together for three years, and we have faced difficulties together."

"Those were such warm and happy times."

"If possible, I hope that my junior sister can use this Windfall Sword to cultivate together with her senior brother in the future, and work together to achieve the Dao."

"......"

"A Saint-grade Spirit Sword, Feng Ying?"

Lin Xi was slightly taken aback; she hadn't expected Shen Lingtian to give her a Saint-grade spiritual sword.

You should know that this scale of yours is just a dragon scale from a Saint-level demon beast.

However, they are extremely difficult to obtain.

Even though he was the chief of Shangqing Peak, he must have paid a huge price to obtain such a precious sacred artifact.

Among the younger generation of the Xuanling Sect, only Shen Lingtian has been awarded a Saint-grade magic weapon.

In fact, everyone wants a magical artifact of this caliber.

The same goes for Lin Xi.

Keep in mind that the Ice Phoenix Sword she currently wields is only a fifth-grade magic weapon...

But Shen Lingtian's gaze was off.

His words were merely a nominal declaration of love.

It was as if accepting this gift forged a certain connection between them.

To accept means to accept Shen Lingtian's confession and his love.

"......"

[Ding! You've unexpectedly encountered Shen Lingtian, who has confessed his true feelings for you. He has gifted you a sacred-grade spiritual sword, attempting to form a Daoist partnership with you and make your relationship public.]

Your current choices are as follows.

[1. Accept Feng Ying and agree to Shen Lingtian's confession. From now on, the relationship between the two of you will become closer and will become a beautiful story in the Xuanling Sect.]

[Reward: Yellow Treasure Chest (50%) → Unsealing Talisman]

[Note: This option will terminate your initial role as fiancée, and your karmic entanglement with Chu Yang will be reduced to an unprecedented level, to the point of being like strangers.]

2. By refusing Feng Ying's advances, one demonstrates their determination to cultivate the Tao.

[You weren't greatly affected by Shen Lingtian's emotional expression because you're not the real Lin Xi, and you don't have those kinds of thoughts.]

[Reward: Yellow Treasure Chest (50%) → Green Treasure Chest]

3. Directly reveal your identity and state that you are Chu Yang's fiancée.

Because of your different status, as someone else's wife, you cannot overstep the bounds, leading to a regrettable ending.

[Reward: Gain partial control over the Soul Cleansing Lock and gain a slight favor from Chu Yang]

[Note: This option is highly likely to provoke hostility and hatred between Chu Yang and Shen Lingtian, which may have irreversible consequences. Please choose carefully.]

"......"

It's another choice made at this crucial stage.

Look at these options.

The first one is a classic case of leaving the tiger's den only to fall into the wolf's lair, and in a public setting at that.

The second, unremarkable one, is that it's a pity Feng Ying might miss out.

The third landmine-type bomb.

The kind where they perish together.

After choosing option three, is it really a good idea for Chu Yang and Shen Lingtian to face off?

Lin Xi had been thinking about this question.

She just wanted to get rid of Chu Yang and didn't want to involve Shen Lingtian.

"......"

finally.

Lin Xi refused and returned to Shuiyue Peak.

Watching Lin Xi's departing figure, holding Feng Ying's hand, Shen Lingtian's face was so heavy that he couldn't muster a smile again.

His aura pressed down on the space, making it appear and disappear intermittently.

"She refused..."

"I originally thought there was still a sliver of a chance."

A glint appeared in Shen Lingtian's eyes, and it was unclear what he was thinking.

Just then, a stunningly beautiful woman dressed in a blue and white dress and a slender young man arrived late from outside Shangqing Peak.

"Ling Tian, ​​are you alright?"

Seeing Shen Lingtian's appearance, a hint of heartache flashed in the beautiful woman's eyes, and she asked with concern.

Shen Lingtian took a deep breath and then gently shook his head.

"It's nothing, Yan Ya, what brings you here?"

The woman before him was none other than Yan Ya, the most beautiful woman on Shangqing Peak and one of the Five Beauties.

Before Lin Xi arrived, Shen Lingtian and Yan Ya were practically the talk of the town in the Xuanling Sect.

"I came to check on you, I was worried something had happened to you."

The young man standing to the side spoke up.

"Senior Brother, the investigation into Senior Sister Lin Xi's return home has been thorough, and there is indeed a strong connection between her current state and what happened."

"What's the reason?" Shen Lingtian turned his gaze.

The thin young man hesitated for two seconds.

"I was stunned when I learned this news after going to Qingyang City in Jinlan Realm. It turns out that my senior sister has a fiancé in Jinlan Realm!"

"fiancé?!"

This news not only struck Shen Lingtian like a thunderbolt, but even Yan Ya, who was standing next to him, looked at the thin young man in surprise.

The most beautiful of the five beauties of the Xuanling Sect actually has a secret fiancé?!

"Li Zhen, explain yourself clearly!"

Shen Lingtian's breathing became rapid.

"It is said that the Lin family of Senior Sister and the Chu family of Qingyang City have been friends for generations, and this marriage was arranged when Senior Sister was a child."

"Several months ago, my senior sister returned home to fulfill her engagement."

"What?! They're already married?!"

Shen Lingtian's pupils shrank sharply, and he even lost control of his voice, which became shrill.

To fulfill the marriage agreement?

My junior sister has already consummated her marriage with another man??

She... she's no longer a virgin?!

"Well... it's actually a bit complicated."

"Originally, on the wedding day, my senior sister wanted to end her marriage with a duel, but she lost to Chu Yang."

"The wedding was inexplicably postponed in the end..."

"So, junior sister is against marriage?"

"Well...maybe, but..."

At this point, Li Zhen began to hesitate, stammering for a long time.

"But what? Speak quickly," Shen Lingtian said impatiently.

"But in the end, it seems that the two reconciled. According to rumors from the people of Qingyang City, the two have been inseparable and intimate ever since their marriage."

"......"

"I see."

Shen Lingtian's eyes held a profound meaning.

No wonder my junior sister seemed like a completely different person after she came back.

She began to reject herself.

It became extremely unfamiliar.

It turns out she had already changed her mind, started to care about other men, and no longer liked him.

It seems that Chu Yang changed her...

"Senior Brother, what should we do now? Should we go find Senior Sister Lin Xi and ask her about the truth?"

Shen Lingtian's eyes were deep and unfathomable as he shook his head in rejection.

"My junior sister has already shown signs of distancing herself from me. If I go to her door now and confront her directly, it will definitely not end well."

"In a more serious scenario, our relationship could be completely severed."

"this....."

"About that Chu Yang..."

Seeing that Shen Lingtian remained silent, Li Zhen couldn't help but speak.

He really wanted to ask if he should deal with Chu Yang.

However, they are from a reputable family, and at least they cannot openly reveal this.

Tell me about Chu Yang.

"Tell him all his information, word for word."...
