Upon hearing Su Qiannai's words, Wu Tian couldn't help but be slightly taken aback.
With his sharp mind, he naturally understood what Su Qiannai meant.
After all, Su Qiannai had previously told him that she would do her best to obtain the Immortal Root and gift it to him.
From this, it seemed that Su Qiannai's words were indeed sincere, not just polite talk.
Even though Wu Tian no longer needed the Immortal Root, Su Qiannai's words still moved him greatly.
This woman, who he had once hated with all his heart, now softened his feelings.
In the end, all his hatred was just a misunderstanding. All along, Su Qiannai was the one who had genuinely helped him.
Thinking of this, Wu Tian's gaze softened considerably. He then nodded at Su Qiannai and said, "Yes, I believe with your abilities, there will be no problem at all."
However, Su Qiannai's gaze became suspicious.
She sized Wu Tian up and said, "I don't know why, but I feel you're a bit strange."
"What's wrong?" Wu Tian was startled.
Su Qiannai said, "It's nothing, I just feel your eyes are like those of a friend of mine."
Wu Tian was greatly shocked. He thought to himself, "Oh no, you can actually sense that?"
He quickly averted his gaze and chuckled somewhat awkwardly, "R-really? That's quite a coincidence, haha."
Just as Wu Tian was thinking about how to change the subject, a flippant laugh suddenly echoed, "Su Qiannai, the competition is about to start, what are you doing here?"
Wu Tian looked in the direction of the voice and saw seven or eight young people dressed in white robes walking towards him.
At this moment, Su Qiannai's expression turned grim.
She said in a low voice, "What a coincidence, trouble has arrived."
The group walked up to Wu Tian. The leader appeared to be around twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, quite handsome, but the mocking smile on his face was very unsettling.
He lightly tapped his palm with the rib of his paper fan and continued, "Oh, who is this? From outside?"
"Su Qiannai, I believe you know the rules of the Divine Doctor Sect, right?"
"You've brought an outsider in without permission, and that's punishable."
"You also know my father is the Grand Elder of the Punishment Hall. If you fall into my hands this time, you probably won't escape, hehe."
Su Qiannai clearly harbored deep animosity towards this man. She turned her head and said, "Xiao Qilin, if you have nothing better to do, you can go elsewhere. Don't hang around me, alright?"
Xiao Qilin smiled and said, "Look at what you're saying, isn't that a bit too domineering?"
"This divine doctor world isn't your territory, why can you come here and I can't?"
"Besides, you're only the third disciple. I am the eldest disciple. Is it appropriate for you to speak to me in that tone?"
Su Qiannai said coldly, "I don't have a good attitude towards scoundrels. You'd better not provoke me, or don't blame me for being impolite."
Seeing their tense standoff, Wu Tian finally understood. It turned out that Xiao Qilin was the one Ye Shen Baihezi was betrothed to.
Although Xiao Qilin was handsome, he exuded an offensive arrogance, which was why Ye Shen Baihezi didn't want to deal with him.
Upon hearing Su Qiannai's words, Xiao Qilin hadn't spoken yet.
A young man beside him retorted indignantly, "Su Qiannai, you've really become more presumptuous lately."
"What do you think you are, to speak to the senior disciple like that? Aren't you afraid of encountering any accidents during the competition later?"
Su Qiannai said coldly, "Dong Weiqi, you really are a good dog to Xiao Qilin. As the second disciple, are you so eager to protect your master? Aren't you afraid of being laughed at if this gets out?"
"What did you say?!" Dong Weiqi immediately became enraged, his face contorting.
"Su Qiannai! I think you've truly grown wings!"
"You'd better pray you don't encounter me during the competition, otherwise, I will definitely make you suffer!"
Su Qiannai remained indifferent, saying, "Just you? Even though you are the second disciple, do you really think you can still be my opponent after all these years?"
"You!" Dong Weiqi was clearly impulsive. He couldn't stand Su Qiannai's attitude and immediately growled, "Since you say so, then let's not wait for the competition."
"How about we have a spar right here?"
With that, a powerful aura erupted from Dong Weiqi, startling many people into looking their way.
Wu Tian could tell at a glance that Dong Weiqi's strength was at the ninth level, upper grade, only half a step away from the peak of the ninth level.
To achieve such strength at this age was already quite remarkable.
However, Su Qiannai's expression did not change. She said coldly, "If you want to fight, I don't want to bother with you."
"You know the rules of the Divine Doctor Sect, and you know the consequences of private fighting. You are openly violating them in front of the son of the Punishment Elder. Do you not take the rules of the Divine Doctor Sect seriously?"
Having said that, Su Qiannai deliberately glanced at Xiao Qilin with her cold gaze.
Xiao Qilin then burst into laughter, patting Dong Weiqi's shoulder and said, "Junior disciple, Su Qiannai is right. You can't violate sect rules in front of me."
"Otherwise, even if we are good friends, I cannot bend the law for personal gain."
Hearing this, Dong Weiqi suppressed his anger and retracted his aura.
He said to Su Qiannai in a deep voice, "Su Qiannai, we have a grudge today!"
"You wait and see, you dare to offend me like this, you will regret it sooner or later!"
Su Qiannai retorted, "Is that so? Then I hope you will have the strength to back up your words when the time comes."
Watching the tense atmosphere between them, Wu Tian couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
It seemed that although Su Qiannai appeared so glorious on the outside, her life within the Divine Doctor Sect was not so easy.
And even after all this was said, Xiao Qilin still showed no intention of leaving.
Instead, he smiled and said, "Alright, I won't talk about other matters. Let's discuss what I care about more."
"Your relationship with Ye Shen Baihezi seems to be quite good, doesn't it? Then tell me, how is my fiancée doing now?"
"She must be full of anticipation for our wedding, right?"
Su Qiannai sneered and said, "Fiancée? You really are audacious."
"Who told you Baihezi is your fiancée?"
