139: The person I love, actually...

The perspective shifted again.

The Zixia Holy Maiden, who now knew about the past between Yao Ruoxi and Chu Ying, also gently nodded and smiled at Chu Ying.

She couldn't help but sigh in her heart, this Young Master Chu had an extraordinary temperament; whether it was his appearance or his strength, he was impeccable.

The Zixia Holy Maiden secretly glanced at Yao Ruoxi.

She found that at this moment, Yao Ruoxi's expression was incredibly complex, gazing at Chu Ying on the stage, seeming to reveal a deep sense of regret.

Perhaps at this moment, she finally understood that the so-called person of Heavenly Mandate was probably a joke.

Ye Junfan couldn't be the Heavenly Mandate protagonist; the Ancient Sacred Body was just a Physique.

This world wasn't about Physique being king...

Instead, her companion, who had grown up with her, relied on each other, and was her childhood sweetheart, was probably the true Son of Fortune!

Yao Ruoxi wanted to meet Chu Ying's gaze.

However, Chu Ying didn't even look at her, nor did he pay attention to the Zixia Holy Maiden; at most, he caught a glimpse out of the corner of his eye.

Chu Ying's eyes had actually always been fixed on the Yaoguang Saintess; as for the other women, they merely had the illusion that Chu Ying was looking at them.

“It’s just… I already have someone in my heart.”

Chu Ying's words were flat and plain, like a gentle breeze passing through clouds, or withered leaves falling onto a still lake.

They weren't particularly striking, nor did they cause surprise, but when spoken at this moment, they still made the Cultivator present light up.

“Is this guy missing a screw? Marrying the Daughter of Xianling, becoming the Great Dream Celestial’s son-in-law, and from then on having a Restricted Area background, wouldn't he be able to walk sideways anywhere he went? Yet he says he already has someone in his heart?”

Among the Cultivator of the Endless Sea, a Tianjiao couldn't help but whisper.

But whose hearing would be poor among those present? As long as it wasn't a secret voice transmission, if one intended to listen, they could hear it.

His words naturally fell into everyone's ears, without missing a single word.

The Immortal Tomb Disciples had various expressions.

They had actually met the Great Dream Celestial’s daughter; although she hadn't revealed her identity, they could guess.

After all, a woman who could move freely within the Immortal Tomb, whose beauty was as peerless as a fairy, whose charm was unparalleled, and whose cultivation was even more unfathomable...

Besides the Celestial Venerable’s daughter, the Daughter of Xianling, who else could it be?

They were quite surprised that this mysterious person who defeated Du Mao, who was very likely a true Son of Fortune, would reject this marriage proposal.

Even for them, with their respectable backgrounds, if they could become the son-in-law of a Restricted Area, their status would undoubtedly rise back home, and no one would dare to target or trip them up again.

“The one Brother Chu has in his heart… couldn’t it still be her?”

Among the Eastern Wasteland prodigies, the Taichu Holy Son hesitated for a moment before speaking in a low voice.

Although she wasn't named, the “she” he referred to was well understood by all the Tianjiao.

They subconsciously looked towards Yao Ruoxi.

It had to be admitted.

This Tai Xuan Saintess had skin like congealed cream, crystal clear, eyes like distant mountains, flawless features, a hint of red on her lips without makeup, a delicate nose, and a graceful figure.

Dressed in white, she was exquisitely cold and stood aloof from the world.

Even among the many daughters of heaven, she was a top-tier beauty.

If this Brother Chu was infatuated with her beautiful appearance, coupled with their past childhood sweetheart relationship...

It wasn't entirely incomprehensible.

One couldn't help but feel regret and lament, that a tender embrace is a hero's tomb, and deep affection is always betrayed.

“Could he really still…”

Yao Ruoxi was initially annoyed that Chu Ying hadn't met her gaze, filled with deep regret and even panic.

More than ever before, she felt like she was about to lose an important person.

However, at this moment, numerous gazes, seemingly present or not, fell upon her, and the Eastern Wasteland prodigies' meaningful words, both overt and covert, were all directed at her.

This caused ripples in her heart, and countless thoughts flashed through her mind, making her believe that Chu Ying's words of “no more entanglement” were just words spoken in anger.

In reality, she still held an important place in his heart, and he was just waiting for her to turn back...

Yao Ruoxi gently bit her pearly teeth, her regret deepening; it was indeed she who had betrayed him first, believing that the Ancient Sacred Body would be the Heavenly Mandate protagonist, but in the end, it turned out not to be so.

The fault was hers; if she were to humbly apologize, would he change his mind?

Yao Ruoxi's fair throat moved slightly, as if she wanted to say something.

But then, Chu Ying's next words left everyone dumbfounded.

The entire hall fell silent!

“To be honest, the one I have in my heart is precisely the Yaoguang Saintess, Fairy Xiyao.”

Chu Ying's expression was composed, a smile on his face at this moment, making people feel as if bathed in a spring breeze, his gaze gentle, containing a smile as he stared at Xi Yao in her seat.

Eastern Wasteland prodigies:

“The Yaoguang Holy Son was cuckolded?”

Immortal Tomb Disciples:

“Interesting! So interesting! Extremely interesting!”

Endless Sea Tianjiao:

“Does the Yaoguang Holy Land not have a Holy Son?”

The expressions of the Holy Daughters of the Eastern Wilderness were already utterly bizarre, incredulous, yet profound and inexplicable.

“I never expected Junior Sister Xi Yao to be Young Master Chu's beloved… it's truly unexpected.” The Jade Balance Holy Maiden sighed softly, her voice tinged with a hint of oddity.

Tianxuan Saintess Qiu Lingsu's eyes dimmed slightly, feeling a strange sense of loss, but then she found it odd again.

Why should she feel lost?

“Hehehe!”

“Little Brother Chu~ Sister supports you in taking this Fairy Xiyao away; the Yaoguang Holy Son is not worthy of Fairy Xiyao!”

Yu Honglei covered her mouth and chuckled, her laughter like silver bells, breaking the silence of the scene.

The Zixia Holy Maiden's face was blank, and she couldn't help but turn to look back at the cool and peerless Yao Ruoxi beside her.

At some point, Yao Ruoxi's eyes were glistening with tears, and although she hid it well, the Zixia Holy Maiden could faintly see it.

“Yaoxi…” The Zixia Holy Maiden held Yao Ruoxi's hand; at this moment, she felt even more strongly that the matter between Yao Ruoxi and Chu Ying was far from simple.

As the person in question, Xi Yao, in her moon-colored immortal dress, had a graceful and slender figure, exquisite dark hair that danced in the wind, delicately curved eyebrows, a small, elegant nose, plump red lips, and fair, delicate skin, exuding an indescribable ethereal aura.

When Chu Ying said she was the one in his heart, she stood up.

Her snow-white, exquisitely beautiful immortal face was flushed, and this blush at this moment already proved something.

“Brother Chu, do not speak nonsense!” Xi Yao forced herself to calm down and spoke coldly.

“Xi Yao is merely a Holy Daughter, with a humble appearance; how could I possibly catch Brother Chu's eye? If Brother Chu is trying to politely refuse the Immortal Tomb's marriage proposal, there's no need to drag me into it.”

Xi Yao's tone was cold and unfriendly, seemingly containing anger.

But her expression concealed a hint of panic.

She was the Yaoguang Saintess, and as a Holy Daughter, her future Dao Companion would either be the Yaoguang Holy Son, who inherited the position of Saint Lord, or she would live out her days alone.

She could not marry outside.

Moreover, she knew very well that the Yaoguang Holy Son, though outwardly very low-key and unassuming, actually secretly controlled a mysterious and terrifying force.

And he also had the support of a certain lineage of powerful experts from the Yaoguang Holy Land behind him.

The Yaoguang Holy Son was actually the one most likely to contend with the Young Master of the Netherworld First Grade Hall in the future and dominate the Eastern Wilderness.

If the Yaoguang Holy Son were to learn of this matter today, he might completely mobilize that mysterious power to deal with Chu Ying.
