Lu Xue and Liu Ling had not noticed the change in the three menâs expressions.
Especially Liu Ling was still gloating as she said, "Who let you run away? The body of the Red Fire Lion is full of treasures. Originally, seeing means receiving a share, but too bad you didnât see it."
At these words, Bai Yuâs eyes instantly flashed with a hint of gloom.
But soon, he showed a smile on his face and said, "As long as you, Senior Sister, are safe, I can rest assured. As for the Red Fire Lionâs corpse, I naturally donât want it."
"Tch." Liu Ling was full of disdain.
"Senior Sister, why did you bring this mortal along?" Bai Yu looked at Xu Nian, frowned, and asked.
"We bring whoever we want, whatâs it to you?" Liu Ling said disdainfully.
"Oh, by the way, Senior Sister Lu Xue, Iâve already asked Master about it, and sheâs agreed for us to become an immortal couple and cultivate together." Bai Yu said.
Lu Xue furrowed her brows.
"Didnât I tell you I needed to consider it? How could you make decisions on your own and ask Master?" Lu Xue said, somewhat displeased.
"Senior Sister, I think itâs inevitable that youâll agree. Eventually, Iâll have to tell Master, so saying it sooner or later makes no difference." Bai Yu said.
"When did I say I would agree?" Lu Xueâs displeasure deepened.
Bai Yuâs expression also revealed a trace of discontent.
"Junior Sister Lu Xue, Junior Brother Bai Yu is quite good. He is now the little genius of our Tianjian Sectâs Outer Sect. If you become an immortal couple with him, your future prospects will be limitless!" A young man said.
"Yes, Junior Sister Lu Xue, Junior Brother Bai Yu is said to have caught the eye of the Wind Sword Immortal Venerable, and soon he will become a true Inner Sect disciple. Being with him is definitely an opportunity to soar!" Another young man chimed in.
"Youâre going to become an Inner Sect disciple?" Lu Xue looked at Bai Yu in surprise.
"Yes, Iâve already taken Wind Sword Immortal Venerable as my master." Bai Yu said proudly.
Waiting for Lu Xueâs admiring gaze, yet she furrowed her brows instead.
"Traitor, Master treated you well, yet you joined someone else." Liu Ling immediately said.
Lu Xueâs expression turned cold as well.
"Junior Sister Liu Ling, thatâs not right, Junior Brother Bai Yu joining Wind Sword Immortal Venerable is just seeking higher ground, and theyâre all part of the same sect. How can it be called betrayal?" One young man explained for Bai Yu.
"Do you also think so?" Lu Xue asked Bai Yu.
"I think Master Qing Yu can no longer teach me anything." Bai Yu said.
"Fine, in that case, hereâs my clear answer: itâs impossible for me to become an immortal couple with you. Give up." Lu Xue said firmly.
Bai Yuâs face froze momentarily.
"Senior Sister Lu Xue, wonât you reconsider? If you agree to become my immortal couple, I can ask Master Wind Sword to take you as a disciple too." Bai Yu said coldly.
"Go away, Iâve considered enough, and I wonât agree." Lu Xue said firmly.
"Bah, we donât care." Liu Ling also followed with disdain.
Bai Yuâs fist clenched instantly, eyes filled with anger: "Lu Xue, donât be ungrateful. Iâm speaking to give you face; I could easily have Master Wind Sword pressure that old undying Clear Wind, so youâll have no choice but to marry."
"How dare you insult Master!" Lu Xue was furious.
Liu Lingâs face was also filled with anger.
"Whatâs wrong with cursing her? Just a little Golden Immortal Stage, sheâs always saying Iâll never amount to anything. Now Iâve taken an Immortal Venerable as my master, letâs see what she says." Bai Yu said disdainfully.
Behind Bai Yu, the two young men also sneered. One further scorned, "A mere Golden Immortal isnât fit to be Master to Junior Brother Bai Yu, let alone a useless Golden Immortal."
Lu Xue and Liu Ling were infuriated upon hearing this.
"Bai Yu, Master treated you well daily. You entered the sect at six, and in three hundred years, sheâs raised you like her own son, yet you repay her like this?" Lu Xue coldly looked at Bai Yu.
"Ungrateful wretch." Liu Ling also spat at Bai Yu.
Bai Yu simply laughed.
"Ungrateful? Birds choose good woods to perch, that old undying Qing Yu clearly had a Top-grade Immortal Pill, and when I asked, she refused, claiming my Tao Heart was unstable and that I couldnât forcibly rely on pills to advance. All nonsense, she just didnât want to give it to me. And you, she knew I liked you yet repeatedly denied the idea of us becoming Taoist couples. Call that treating me like a son? Ridiculous." Bai Yu said with disdain.
Upon hearing the words, Lu Xue and Liu Lingâs eyes burned with even more fury.
Just for this, he would betray his master?
"Lu Xue, I came today to clearly tell you that whether you agree or not, you will have to. Otherwise, youâll never see that woman Qing Yu again." Bai Yu said with a sinister smile.
"What have you done to Master?" Lu Xue was instantly shocked.
"Nothing much, just had Master Wind Sword seal her cultivation and throw her into heavenly prison." Bai Yu said with a cold laugh.
The two young men behind him also chuckled.
Lu Xue, hearing this, clenched her fists tightly, her whole body trembling.
"Shameless, Iâll kill you!" Liu Ling was enraged.
"You think you can?" Bai Yu sneered.
He punched Liu Lingâs chest.
Instantly sending Liu Ling flying.
"Luoxian Realm Early Stage?" Lu Xue was stunned, hastily catching the flying Liu Ling.
"Thatâs right, Iâve already broken through to Luoxian Realm Early Stage, Lu Xue. Now Iâm at the same level as you; Iâm fully capable of matching you." Bai Yu said.
Lu Xueâs gaze turned sharp.
"Humph!" Lu Xue snorted coldly.
A sharp sword appeared in her hand.
With one slash, the Wind Attribute Law Power erupted instantly.
Bai Yuâs face changed upon seeing the Sword Radiance.
Luckily, the young man behind him stepped in timely, slashing out and shattering the Sword Radiance.
"Law Power? She actually broke through to Law Power?" The two young men were astonished.
Bai Yu was equally surprised.
"Lu Xue, even if youâve broken through to Law Power, youâre no match for Jin Shi and Ye Heng, both of whom are at the Peak of Luoxian." Bai Yu sneered.
"Peak of Luoxian?" Lu Xueâs face changed.
She gripped the Immortal Sword tightly, her gaze sharp.
"Besides, if you dare make a move, Iâll make sure youâll never see your beloved master again." Bai Yu said viciously.
Lu Xue, upon hearing this, became even more furious.
Yet she was powerless.
Her master was her weakness, she couldnât stand idly by.
"If I agree, will you release Master?" Lu Xue took a deep breath and asked.
"Yes, as long as you behave, serve me well, Iâll make sure that old hag Qing Yu is safe." Bai Yu said smugly.
Eyes filled with mockery.
The goddess he once dared not dream of, now reduced to his plaything.
Lu Xueâs eyes revealed despair, her heart like ashes.
Suddenly, it seemed she had made a tremendous decision, looking at Bai Yu, ready to speak.
Yet at that moment, a voice broke the silence.
"Quite a show indeed." Xu Nian said with a smile.
