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

"Tell me honestly, do you really hate me?"

"I...I didn't."

"Really? Then why have you never once shown any concern for me?"

"You don't need my concern, because you are the chosen one."

"Don't make it sound like I'm heartless. I only said a few things to you in private when we were just the two of us. When we're all on the same page, I'm very protective of you." Lin Xi nodded naturally.

"Really? So that means you still have some feelings for me?"

"No." Lin Xi shook her head decisively.

Chu Yang gave her a deep look. "What you said is quite disheartening. It's not because of this one time, but because you always do this."

"While this shows you're not dishonest, you've excluded me from the beginning."

"Just like the Soul Purification Lock in your hand, I have clearly told you how to use it. In fact, you should know that if you had used the Soul Purification Lock, you would have already broken through to the King level, but you have never used it even once."

"Not even once, because you've never admitted it, have you?"

"......"

Lin Xi remained silent, staring quietly at the Soul Purification Lock in her hand.

Indeed, deep down she still wanted to push Chu Yang away.

Although they opened up to each other last time, there is still some distance between them.

Even though he's treating me better and better now.

Because she had never truly accepted him, neither because of the torment he had inflicted on her in the past, nor because of the rejection she felt from the bottom of her soul.

And this Soul-Purifying Lock is her last line of defense.

Chu Yang leaned close to Lin Xi's ear and said with a half-smile:

"In that case, we should proceed slowly and steadily."

"But you'd better watch out one day. I might not force you, but if something unexpected happens, you'll definitely become obsessed with me. Be careful not to fall into a trap you can't escape."

"I might as well tell you that my physique is the Hundred Battles Immortal Physique. You can look up what this physique means."

The sound of hot breath hitting Lin Xi's ears made her legs go weak.

To maintain his balance, he braced his hands against Chu Yang's chest.

It was as if her passionate kisses with Chu Yang and the physical contact with him were still vivid in her mind.

This is also what worries her.

During this time, she also read some of the classic texts of the Xuanling Sect.

The Hundred Battles Immortal Body can be considered an upgraded version of the Pure Yang Body...

After a short break, the competition continued in the afternoon.

Lin Xi's opponent this time was a true disciple of Qifeng, whose cultivation was only at the mid-stage of the Core Formation Realm. He was quite lucky.

She finished the match with ease.

She easily won the competitions on the second, third, and fourth days as well.

However, she and Chu Yang traveled together more and more often during this period, and now the rumors about them in the Xuanling Sect are becoming more and more widespread.

Chu Yang, who was previously unknown, suddenly became famous because of his rumored relationship with Lin Xi.

He became a thorn in the side of many aristocratic disciples within the sect.

"Who exactly is this Chu Yang? He's been traveling with Senior Sister Lin Xi all this time, and what's most unsettling is that she hasn't rejected him..."

"Where did this person come from?"

"A newcomer who just joined the sect is so nonchalantly following the fairy around; it's incredibly arrogant!"

"Hmph, he won't be arrogant for long. His current opponent is Senior Brother Wushan, the top disciple of Weapon Peak!"

"Senior Brother Wushan is at the peak of the King-Sealing Realm, and has even cultivated himself into a magical artifact, possessing a physique comparable to the Ascending Emperor Realm. He has embarked on the ultimate path of mastering both physical and magical artifacts. This Chu Yang is only at the late stage of the King-Sealing Realm. Although he has some strength, how could he possibly be a match for Senior Brother Wushan?"

"Furthermore, Senior Brother Wushan has always secretly harbored feelings for Senior Sister Linxi. If it weren't for Senior Brother Lingtian keeping him in check, he might have pursued her himself..."

"Even with Senior Brother Ling Tian keeping him in check, he had confessed to Senior Sister before, but was subtly rejected. He wasn't willing to give up at first, but Senior Brother Ling Tian came to stop him..."

"Senior Brother Wushan, beat this Chu Yang to a pulp! Beat your love rival to a pulp! Let him know what true power is!"

"Down with Chu Yang! Down with Chu Yang!!"

"......"

A corner of the audience seats.

Chu Yunyi, carrying the spirit sword, arrived at the young man in green robes, accompanied by Jing Aohan and other disciples of the Spirit Sword Peak.

Chu Yunyi looked at him with sharp eyes, a half-smile on his face, and said:

"I didn't expect even you to be alerted?"

"Whom did you come here for?"

The green-robed youth before them was Dan Chen, the chief disciple of Zi Dan Peak.

Since Dan Chen was promoted to a seventh-grade alchemy grandmaster, he has rarely appeared in the sect.

He didn't even participate in this martial arts competition.

And now he's actually here to watch this match?

That's really strange.

Dan Chen's pale green eyes were as still as a deep well.

"It's not uncommon for an interesting disciple to appear on my Purple Pill Peak. There's no harm in him coming over to take a look."

"And it wasn't just me who came."

As he spoke, his gaze fell on a certain spot.

Chu Yunyi and the others followed the gaze and saw a handsome young man, as if he were an immortal, standing on a high platform in a spacious corner of the audience.

He was accompanied by a group of true disciples from Shangqing Peak.

"Shen Lingtian? He really came."...

A certain place.

Lin Xi rushed to the audience to watch the duel between Chu Yang and Wu Shan after finishing the previous round of the competition.

After all, Wushan is the chief of the Weapon Peak, and he is quite troublesome.

"I didn't expect so many people to come."

Beside Lin Xi stood Zhong Shuyun, graceful and elegant. Her blue eyes gazed into the distance, where she saw Chu Yunyi, Dan Chen, and even Shen Lingtian and the others.

The matter of the second junior sister and the battle with the chief disciple indeed attracted them.

"My God, it's all criticism of Chu Yang?"

"Second Senior Sister, Chu Yang is now considered an enemy of the entire sect..."

Seeing the shouts and dissatisfaction directed at Chu Yang from all over the mountain, Shi Xiaoman couldn't help but wipe away the cold sweat for Chu Yang.

This is what happens when you fall in love with the most beautiful woman in the entire clan.

Fortunately, these people didn't know about the marriage between Second Senior Sister and Chu Yang, otherwise there would have been an uproar.

When Lin Xi saw this scene, she remained expressionless and did not show the schadenfreude that one might expect.

"The key is that his opponent is the chief of the Qi Peak, and that Wu Shan seems to have pursued you before and is still not giving up on you. Can Chu Yang defeat him?"

Lin Xi nodded firmly, "Of course I can."

"No, Second Senior Sister, the other party is, after all, a top student. Are you really sure there won't be any problems?"

"If he can win the championship, he can definitely defeat Wushan."

"......"

Oh no, this is really late-stage love-struck.

What kind of magic does Chu Yang possess?!

This is what they did to my dear second senior sister!

"Junior sister, I know you don't believe me, but we just need to watch the game."
