302: Chapter 302 The Chosen One Gets Used as a Stepping Stone! No comparison, no harm!

In mid-air, the crimson remnant soul phantom of Yan Feiyue flickered slightly.

She fell into a long silence.

Her expression was complex as she gazed back and forth between the unconscious Xiao Chen and the composed Cao Kun.

The scale in her heart, which had been firm, tilted at this moment.

Having lived for so many years, she was by no means a naive fool who understood nothing.

No matter how one analyzed today's events, Xiao Chen was indeed at fault first.

The Treasure Pavilion opened its doors for business, emphasizing harmony for wealth and the exchange of benefits.

If the chips you brought were insufficient and they suggested discussing it another day, that was the most normal commercial excuse.

Yet, because of jealousy and unwillingness to accept, Xiao Chen had forced his way into the hall and caused a scene.

He even made things difficult for Young Master Cao in every way possible and insulted him verbally.

Looking at Young Master Cao, Yan Feiyue recalled the various details from just now.

Although this young man had acted somewhat domineeringly and spoken flippantly at the beginning, he had consistently shown magnanimity when facing Xiao Chen's provocations.

Even when Xiao Chen brought out a Rank 7 Exotic Fire to mock him publicly, he did not directly kill him.

Instead, he replicated the same Exotic Fire to prove Xiao Chen's ignorance.

Even when Xiao Chen broke down and cursed, this Young Master merely demanded compensation for the shattered display cabinet.

But what about Xiao Chen?

He had secretly asked her to step in and fight on his behalf even when the other party chose not to hold a grudge.

He wanted to kill the other party!

In terms of bearing and Heart-Nature, how could Xiao Chen be so far behind him?

Could it be that her judgment was truly poor, and she had chosen the wrong person?

Yan Feiyue looked up at Cao Kun's young and handsome face, imagining things in her mind.

This Young Master could casually produce a Heaven-Defying Magic Treasure that replicated a Rank 7 Exotic Fire.

He also controlled the Law of Space and that strange Law capable of devouring everything with his Void Refinement Stage strength.

With such a well-connected figure who had a Chief Manager like Pei Qinglan at the Body Integration Stage serving as a maid, what kind of stunning beauty could he not find?

Was he really just coveting her broken soul body for carnal pleasure?

A flash of inspiration struck Yan Feiyue, and she suddenly understood.

That was it! It couldn't be that superficial!

He must value her identity as a Rank 9 Medicinal Pill Grandmaster!

Such a peerless Prodigy was destined to reach the Peak of the myriad worlds in the future.

What he lacked most by his side was a Medicinal Pill Grandmaster capable of providing top-tier Medicinal Pill support.

His flippant words just now were merely a test to see if she was worth him extending an olive branch!

Thinking of this, Yan Feiyue's heartbeat involuntarily quickened.

Cao Kun stood where he was, seeing the entanglement, realization, and secret joy in Yan Feiyue's eyes clearly.

This big sister was definitely overthinking and adding drama to her own narrative.

Women, no matter how long they lived or how high their cultivation, were unstoppable once they started self-indoctrination.

But this was also good; it saved him the trouble of wasting breath painting grand pictures.

Cao Kun estimated that the timing was about right and spoke at the perfect moment, breaking the silence.

"How about it, Senior, what have you decided?"

"The terms I offered earlier still stand. As long as you nod, I will provide the Materials needed to reshape your Physical Body. I will help you take your revenge."

His voice was gentle as jade, completely devoid of the ruthlessness he had displayed when crushing Xiao Chen's palm just moments ago.

Listening to him felt like a spring breeze.

Yan Feiyue snapped back from her chaotic thoughts.

She looked into Cao Kun's sincere eyes, her expression struggling.

But in the end, she let out a long, faint sigh.

"Apologies, Young Master, I appreciate your kindness."

"It's just…"

Yan Feiyue glanced at the unconscious Xiao Chen on the ground, a flash of deep guilt appearing in her beautiful eyes.

She slowly recounted her unspeakable difficulties.

"Back then, Xiao Chen was the most dazzling Genius in his Family. He condensed his Golden Core at eleven and had a limitless future."

"It was me… It was me who, in order to protect this wisp of remnant soul from dissipating and to wake up, had to forcibly drain his Spiritual Qi for three whole years."

"This led to his cultivation regressing, his Golden Core shattering, and him becoming the Trash of the entire Family who was mocked by everyone."

"For three whole years, he endured cold stares and humiliation; even his fiancée came to break off the engagement."

As she said this, Yan Feiyue's voice trembled, clearly still deeply troubled by this matter.

"It can be said that his extreme personality and his impatient, profit-seeking mindset today are all thanks to me."

"I owe him a massive Karma."

"Now that he has encountered a great disaster and was severely injured by you, Young Master, if I were to abandon him now to reshape my own Physical Body and cling to you…"

"Then I, Yan Feiyue, would not only have a flawed Dao Heart but would also be unworthy of being a teacher!"

"Therefore, I naturally cannot leave him now. I ask for your understanding, Young Master."

After saying this, Yan Feiyue closed her eyes, looking as if she were prepared to face death calmly.

She knew what a terrifying existence she had just rejected.

This Young Master Cao was capricious, and by being so unappreciative, it was highly likely he would kill her outright, wiping both her and Xiao Chen out.

Many Cultivators in the hall nodded secretly upon hearing this.

Although this woman was a remnant soul, her clear sense of gratitude and resentment, and her loyal and righteous Heart-Nature, were truly worthy of the title Grandmaster.

Cao Kun looked at Yan Feiyue, who had closed her eyes waiting for death, and couldn't help but inwardly scoff.

Drained Spiritual Qi for three years? Resulted in becoming Trash? Fiancée came to break off the engagement?

Good grief, this is truly classic! The lines are even exactly the same!

Since this big sister has taken all the blame upon herself and feels she owes Xiao Chen, that's easy!

As long as this guilt can be converted into affection for me, wouldn't that mean poaching her would be successful?

Cao Kun composed himself; not only was there no trace of anger on his face, but he also displayed heartfelt appreciation and admiration.

He feigned a sigh, cupped his hands, and bowed slightly toward Yan Feiyue in mid-air.

"Senior is truly a person of loyalty and righteousness; Cao admires you!"

Yan Feiyue opened her beautiful eyes, looking at Cao Kun in disbelief.

He… not only was he not angry, but he was also praising her?

"In the cultivation world, where deceit is rampant and the world is cold, I have seen too many instances of master and disciple turning against each other or father and son becoming enemies for the sake of profit."

"Someone like Senior, who can still uphold their bottom line and remain loyal and righteous at the moment of life and death, is already rare as a Phoenix feather."

"The person I respect most in my life is someone like Senior!"

"Since Senior wishes to resolve this Karma, I naturally cannot force the issue. A forced melon is not sweet; I understand this principle well."

Cao Kun's tone was incredibly sincere, as if he were truly deeply moved by Yan Feiyue's noble character.

Pei Qinglan, standing beside him, watched her Young Master's mouth twitch upward from time to time and clicked her tongue secretly in her heart.

The Young Master's acting was absolutely superb.

If she hadn't already learned just how shameless, greedy, and lustful this Young Master was, she feared even she would have been fooled by his righteous appearance.

Upon hearing this, the heavy stone hanging in Yan Feiyue's heart finally fell.

This Young Master was truly so reasonable!

Not only was he not angry because of her refusal, but he even understood her hidden difficulties?

What kind of magnanimity was this? What kind of bearing was this?

She lifted her eyes slightly and looked at Xiao Chen lying on the ground.

Usually, he would yell at her, make her take the front when encountering danger, and throw a tantrum at the slightest dissatisfaction.

Comparing the two, the verdict was clear!
