Chapter 231: Chapter 10: Xiao White Fox (10)

Tao Hui’s popularity kept increasing, and more and more young girls gathered around him.

The most conspicuous one was Liu Ruyan.

Zhang Yixuan had been injured, and after the grand competition, he went into seclusion to heal and cultivate.

Unexpectedly, upon coming out, he was greeted with a “surprise” brought by Liu Ruyan.

Zhang Yixuan nearly exploded, and like in the plot, he and Tao Hui began to argue over many issues.

Tao Hui’s foundation in the Qingyun Sect was shallow after all, whereas Zhang Yixuan was the Sect Leader’s first disciple.

Tao Hui suffered some disadvantages in many matters.

But he wasn’t the male lead; the male lead had his own pride. He was different; he knew well that a child who doesn’t cry won’t get milk.

So Tao Hui confided in Liu Ruyan in private.

Complaining about why Senior Brother Zhang always targeted him.

Liu Ruyan was furious.

In Liu Ruyan’s view, everyone in the sect was her father’s subordinate, so naturally, everything should go her way, including Senior Brother Zhang.

Although the two had an engagement, it was set by her father.

If she didn’t agree, then Senior Brother Zhang shouldn’t expect it, just because she was closer to Junior Brother Tao, Senior Brother Zhang was being so undignified, it truly disappointed her.

Some people do take many things for granted.

Liu Ruyan was precisely like that.

Her father was the Sect Leader, and she was his only daughter. She had never thought that if her father was gone, could she still be so willful as a woman of mediocre strength?

The Sect Leader had thought of everything, so he trained a talented disciple, intending for him to marry his precious daughter, so that in the future, she could continue to live like this.

But unfortunately, his precious daughter did not appreciate it.

With Liu Ruyan’s involvement, naturally, many things changed, and Zhang Yixuan naturally learned that Liu Ruyan was helping that man, which only deepened his heartache.

The Sect Leader, of course, was aware of their situation.

The Sect Leader was somewhat helpless and called Liu Ruyan over.

Liu Ruyan was also annoyed at that point and straightforwardly stated that she only liked Tao Hui.

The Sect Leader was helpless, not knowing how to discuss this with his eldest disciple.

There’s no wall in the world that doesn’t have a crack, and Zhang Yixuan naturally received the news.

In the plot, it was just like this; Zhang Yixuan turned dark and embarked on a path of unending conflict with the protagonist.

At this moment, Zhang Yixuan was equally in great pain, sitting by a cliff, gazing into the distance with a blank expression.

He had entered the Qingyun Sect as a child, and it was his master who taught and raised him.

So when his master asked him to take care of Junior Sister, and said he should care for her for a lifetime, he was very happy.

He had invested all his heart into Junior Sister, never expecting that she would transfer her affections.

How ironic that years of affection could not compare to a few brief encounters.

She even had people suppress him for that man.

His heart ached terribly.

Suddenly, a laugh rang out, and Zhang Yixuan stood up, glaring behind him, “Who’s there, show yourself!”

“I originally thought Senior Brother Zhang was an extraordinary person, never expecting that he’d be so troubled by affairs of the heart, how pathetic and lamentable.”

Zhang Yixuan’s face turned ugly, “What do you know.”

Li Shuning flew down from a tree.

Upon seeing it was Li Shuning, Zhang Yixuan eased his guard.

“Junior Sister Li, it’s you.”

Suddenly, Zhang Yixuan’s eyes widened, “You, you, you actually reached Nascent Soul Formation?”

Zhang Yixuan himself was already at Golden Core Tenth Rank, just on the verge of reaching Nascent Soul Formation, and seeing Li Shuning, he naturally sensed her aura.

Li Shuning chuckled, “Is reaching Nascent Soul Formation so difficult? It’s just casual cultivation. If Senior Brother Zhang wants to reach Nascent Soul Formation, it’s not hard either, except your heart is entangled in affairs of the heart.”

Zhang Yixuan felt a bit downcast.

Li Shuning then said with a smile, “Senior Brother Zhang.”

“No, Senior Sister Li, you should call me Junior Brother Zhang.”

Li Shuning laughed, in the Cultivation World, indeed, strength is the key.

“Junior Brother Zhang, in the Sect Leader’s heart, do you think you’re more important or his daughter? While he has nurtured you with masterly care, it’s mainly so that you’ll take care of Junior Sister Liu in the future, right? Shouldn’t you be happy that Junior Sister Liu found a good match? You’re her senior brother; if you clash with Junior Sister Liu, it will definitely make things difficult for the Sect Leader.”

“Junior Brother Zhang, you might as well focus on your own cultivation. Regardless of what kind of person Tao Hui is, as long as you’re strong, Junior Sister Liu won’t be wronged in the future, right?”

Zhang Yixuan thought that Li Shuning’s words made sense, but he knew that he was in love with Liu Ruyan, which is why he was so heartbroken.

“Junior Brother Zhang, forced love is never sweet, and if you clash with Tao Hui, people will laugh. With your strength, there will be plenty of suitors in the future, so why worry about minor obstacles on the path of cultivation.”

Li Shuning spoke calmly as she stood at the edge of the cliff; her clothing fluttered as if she might soar away, making her look truly stunning.

Zhang Yixuan didn’t know what to say, but he nodded nonetheless.

He and Li Shuning hardly interacted; perhaps, seeing him struggling, Senior Sister decided to guide him a little?

Li Shuning was already turning to leave.

It was just a few pointers; if Zhang Yixuan continued to be obsessed with a girl like Liu Ruyan, so be it.

It was just that knowing the outcome of the plot, she found it a little regrettable because Zhang Yixuan had a decent character.

As he watched Li Shuning leave, Zhang Yixuan’s face showed some hesitation, but then he suddenly shouted, “Senior Sister Li, thank you.”

Li Shuning waved her hand, leaving without looking back.

Zhang Yixuan sat by the cliff for a day and a night, and at the moment the sun rose, his heart once again became pure and clean.

A person like Senior Sister Li must live so freely.

Indeed, he must cultivate well; affairs of the heart should not be something to worry about.

Zhang Yixuan went to find the Sect Leader.

The Sect Leader wasn’t sure how to speak to Zhang Yixuan, not expecting Zhang Yixuan to approach him first.

His expression was somewhat unpleasant; did this young man intend to use the engagement as leverage to make him intervene?

To his surprise, once inside, Zhang Yixuan knelt down directly, “Master, this disciple has been looked after by you for many years. Today, I have one request: Though Junior Sister and I are considered senior and junior disciples, we share a deep sibling bond. Junior Sister has feelings for Junior Brother Tao. Please, Master, don’t make things difficult, and as the engagement hasn’t been announced, let us nullify it.”

The Sect Leader hadn’t expected Zhang Yixuan to say such a thing.

Thinking about this disciple who he personally mentored, his heart softened, “Good disciple, it’s your master who has wronged you. Your Junior Sister is too willful.”

“Master, how could Junior Sister be at fault? Junior Sister is innocent and genuine, the best person.”

Seeing his master smiling at the end, Zhang Yixuan’s heart still ached a little.

Indeed, Senior Sister Li was right, no matter how wrong Junior Sister was, she was still the Sect Leader’s biological daughter. If he couldn’t let go of his obsession, eventually…

As Zhang Yixuan thought of this, he became even more grateful to Li Shuning.
