A trace of shame flashed across the woman's eyes, and then she snorted coldly.

"Thank you for your concern, Master Xu. By the way, I forgot to tell you something just now. Xi'er is also going to participate in this sect exam."

"..."

Ye Yanxi is going to take part in the sect exam?

This was something Xu Qingyan had not expected, and he did not know whether this was a forced arrangement by the sect, or whether the girl could not help but want to regain her sense of existence in the sect.

Maybe both are possible.

After all, it is impossible for every sect to support idle people, unless you have made some outstanding contributions and have a high reputation, this is possible.

To put it nicely, Ye Yanxi was once considered "unparalleled in her generation", far ahead of her peers. But that was only in the past. The past year or so has been almost wasted. How could he still have any reputation or contribution?

It was a courtesy to her to wait until this time to let her take part in the sect examination.

If she wanted to participate, it would be understandable. She values ​​her reputation very much, and her desire to restore her strength is also to hope that the admiration she deserves will return to her.

She is still the Ye Yanxi who is eager to reach the top step by step.

Emotions can't get in the way either.

But as to what the truth is, she has to ask herself.

Xu Qingyan had no intention of asking. After all, it was none of her business. She could participate if she wanted to. No matter what results she achieved or whether she got beaten black and blue, it was her own fault.

As for whether he would be expelled from the sect because of his performance in the sect exam... well, Pei Yu would take care of it, so there was no need for him to worry about it.

And there was nothing hypocritical about the promise he made to Pei Yu that he would properly handle the relationship with her. After all, this was one of his goals.

If you don't properly handle the relationships with these people, how can you control your own destiny?

I didn't expect that the day I met Ye Yanxi would come sooner than I thought, even before the sect's big exam.

It's not in Xueyu Mountain, nor in Chenjian Mountain.

Instead, it was in the sect's meeting hall, which was used to issue tasks to disciples.

Xu Qingyan easily recognized this girl who stood out from the crowd. She was wearing a familiar aqua-green dress, and her long hair was tied up neatly with an exquisite wooden hairpin.

Appears spirited and proud.

Like Xu Qingyan, many of his fellow disciples were also surprised and couldn't help but sigh.

"Isn't that Senior Sister Ye? Long time no see...Isn't it been a long time since I saw her doing a mission?"

"Before, he was said to be in seclusion or something... Some people also said that he had a breakthrough and was recovering from injuries. It's normal that we can't see him for a while..."

"No matter what, it's good to see her again. Senior Sister Ye is still so graceful. I think she is more feminine now. Don't you think so?"

Feminine?

How can there not be?

Is there no difference between girls and women?

Xu Qingyan found it somewhat amusing.

"Excuse me, can you lend me this for a moment?"

"Ah...it's Senior Brother Xu. Hello, Senior Brother Xu."

Seeing that it was Xu Qingyan coming, the fellow disciples who were secretly discussing immediately became respectful and took the initiative to make way.

Xu Qingyan smiled and nodded.

Given his current position in the sect, and the fact that he is a first-class inner disciple, with such outstanding contributions and potential, it is reasonable for his fellow disciples to be in awe or respect him. Xu Qingyan doesn't really care whether these people really respect him from the bottom of their hearts or are afraid of his influence.

In fact, they are all pretty much the same, and are of no use.

He walked up to the noble woman and saw a scroll in her hand.

Holding a scroll here means taking on a mission.

Xu Qingyan didn't come here to hang out for no reason, he came here because someone informed him that he had a mission.

When he saw the scroll in the other person's hand, he roughly understood what might be going on.

"You're going down the mountain to do a mission?"

Ye Yanxi turned around without surprise, "Yeah."

In front of others, her expression became much colder, as if she was deliberately trying to make it seem like they were not close.

Xu Qingyan thought about it.

"You're in such a hurry, aren't you afraid of having health problems again?"

Well...he is concerned about himself, right?

Fortunately, this bastard has some conscience.

Thinking of this, his complexion became better.

The girl whispered, "Now that I have recovered to the Bone Forging Realm, it is the sect's obligation to do some tasks. There is no reason to refuse."

Xu Qingyan looked at the other person with a playful look in his eyes, "Is it really an obligation? It's not to prove that the rumors about your injury are just rumors. Do you want to prove that you are still the same Ye Yanxi?"

The girl, who had just felt a little sweet in her heart, immediately became gloomy. It was impossible for her not to hear the obvious sarcasm.

"What do you care? What I do is my business. You are just like everyone else, wanting to laugh at my joke."

Xu Qingyan couldn't help laughing, "When did I become the same as everyone else? Am I really the same as everyone else in your heart?"

Looking at the boy's face that was slightly closer, Ye Yanxi was keenly aware that the surrounding eyes must be focused here.

Immediately, I couldn't help feeling embarrassed.

"Asshole...don't get so close to me!"

"Oh. You don't recognize me after you get out of bed."

Xu Qingyan pretended to sigh, then stood up straight again.

Hearing the boy say this, Ye Yanxi wanted to tear his mouth to pieces, but in front of so many people, his previous tricks would definitely look like flirting.

She couldn't afford to lose this person.

It's not that she thinks it's shameful to have a scandal with Xu Qingyan now, but she now knows that Xu Qingyan's reputation is higher than many people, at least higher than her current reputation.

If others saw it, combined with the rumors about my injury, it would be hard not to think that I was just clinging to this young man.

This is where it's embarrassing.

Ye Yanxi tried his best to calm the blush on his face, and then held the scroll tightly.

"You can watch the fun if you want. See if I can do it."

After saying that, the girl turned around and left angrily.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, he walked out of the meeting room with full momentum.

Ye Yanxi walked out for a short while, and before reaching the mountain gate, he stopped at a place with few people.

She frowned and turned around, and saw the young man in white clothes following her as if he was taking a walk, as if nothing had happened.

"What are you doing here?"

Xu Qingyan smiled and said, "Where are you going?"

"Are you blind? Of course I'm doing the mission."

She snorted coldly.

Her expression was full of displeasure; the previous sarcasm had indeed made her very angry.

Xu Qingyan smiled and said, "If I don't follow you, how can you complete this task?"

Ye Yanxi's expression froze for a moment, and he turned his head away.

"What does it have to do with you? I can't do anything without you."

Xu Qingyan walked to the other person's side, raised his head slightly and looked at the mountain path outside the mountain gate not far away.

"You were the one who called me here? Wasn't it your original intention to ask me to help you with the mission? I told you, stop pretending in front of me. Your acting skills are really not that good."

What Ye Yanxi couldn't stand the most was that this bastard always mocked him from a perspective that had nothing to do with him.

It's as if I was born inferior to him.

Just like now, ruthlessly exposing my little thoughts and treating them as a joke.

She couldn't help but glare at Xu Qingyan, but her eyes started to turn red.

"Congratulations on finding out the truth, exposing my scheme, and getting to the point that I am indeed a woman who says one thing and means another, and who can't do anything on my own and needs your help. Are you satisfied? Are you happy now that you've uncovered the truth? Bastard!"

She turned and left before any emotion could overflow from her eyes.

I don't want this young man to see my last bit of vulnerability.

But soon, the boy grabbed his wrist and his body suddenly stopped.

In terms of strength, she naturally could not compare with this young man, and she seemed to lose her dignity repeatedly in front of him.

Now this veil has been ruthlessly exposed, leaving nothing behind. This seems to be my only situation now.

She refused to turn back, and even when her arm was pulled and she was blocked from going forward, she refused to turn back.

Until the boy walked around her and came in front of her, looking down at the girl with red eyes, who was holding herself down with her own will.

His eyes were lowered, and the playfulness from before was no longer seen.

"Okay, do you have to tell me that I am worried about your safety and that's why I followed you before you are willing to listen?"

Hearing Xu Qingyan say this.

The girl's heart trembled violently, and she turned her head away.

"Now you are saying sweet words to coax me. You are deliberately humiliating me like this and lying to me... Let go."

She herself didn't know what she was saying anymore.

It was just that the other person's soft words seemed to provide a loophole for me to vent.

I want to vent all my grievances and resentments, as if I can't feel better without venting them.

Xu Qingyan smiled and grabbed the other person's hands, squeezing them more gently.

Seeing her eyes not only reddened but also her cheeks, the young man said softly.

"You're thinking too much. I just don't want you to have any more problems. It's not easy to cure you. Now you're so anxious to appear in the public eye... and even to take part in the sect's exam. Are you so impatient?"

Ye Yanxi is very strange.

She felt that this boy was very perceptive at times and could easily expose and reveal her.

But sometimes, he seems so stupid, as if he doesn't understand himself at all.

It doesn't matter whether you understand me or not. This is not something I can expect...

She lowered her head slightly.

"You haven't experienced the same thing as me, nor the darkness that I've experienced. How do you know why I'm so anxious...Being forgotten is more painful than dying, and I absolutely cannot be forgotten."

Although she lowered her head, her tone was full of vigor.

Her determination was palpable.

Such a proud girl would never allow such a fate to happen to her.

Xu Qingyan looked at her at this moment, and seemed to understand why she was the heroine.

It is undeniable that there are many things about her that I don't like, including her scheming, her erratic personality, and her indecisiveness that I can't express.

But she does have her shining points. She never wants to give up in any situation and always strives for that glimmer of hope.

Disobeying fate is a good quality.

It's just a pity that things are impermanent and there is no such thing as the best of both worlds.

If she had awakened to her will and mission as the heroine now, would the romance and entanglement between them really change the ending?

Will it really be a completely different direction from the previous life?

"No matter what, whoever forgets you, I will always remember you."
