As Wan Yunting and Chang Wude, along with the three of them, walked out of the conference hall, they saw Zhou Ruoxi and Jiang Tingxia, the senior and junior sisters, chatting with Li Zihang and Xu Lingwei, their senior brothers and sisters. The decision made by Madam Yang Jingyi, his master's wife, to have Duan Yingying marry Wan Yunting after Wan Yunting took over as the Taoist Master!
"What, asking Yingying junior sister to marry Wan junior brother?"
Jiang Tingxia's eyes widened in disbelief when she heard Li Zihang's words.
Zhou Ruoxi's pretty face was even more astonished, and her heart suddenly felt a sharp pang...
"Yes, my master's wife said that if Wan junior brother wants to be the Taoist Master, he must marry Yingying senior sister," Li Zihang nodded.
Jiang Tingxia glanced at Senior Sister Zhou beside her. Zhou Ruoxi's pretty face was blank, a mixture of surprise and worry.
"Did Wan junior brother agree to marry Yingying junior sister?"
Jiang Tingxia immediately pressed for answers. Li Zihang shook his head and said, "Wan junior brother naturally refused. He said he already has a girlfriend and cannot marry Yingying senior sister. Moreover, he almost argued with his master's wife."
"Hoo, it's good he didn't agree."
Jiang Tingxia immediately breathed a sigh of relief and smiled back at Zhou Ruoxi. Zhou Ruoxi also felt a little better.
"I don't agree either."
Li Zihang said, "You don't know how carefree Wan junior brother is in Huadu City. He has several girlfriends. If it were me, I wouldn't marry someone like Yingying senior sister, who is so spoiled, willful, and ignorant..."
"Wait, you said Wan junior brother has several girlfriends?" Jiang Tingxia seized on Li Zihang's words and asked with wide eyes.
"That's right."
Li Zihang looked at her and Zhou Ruoxi and said, "When we went to Huadu City, Wan junior brother even hired me and senior sister with money to protect his girlfriend. And Wan junior brother is also very rich..."
But Zhou Ruoxi beside him, upon hearing that Wan Yunting truly had girlfriends, her mind went blank. Her heart trembled violently, and her legs felt slightly unsteady. Jiang Tingxia quickly supported her, "Senior sister, are you... are you alright?"
Li Zihang and Qi Wu saw that Zhou Ruoxi suddenly wasn't feeling well, which made them look confused. Just then, they saw Wan Yunting and Chang Wude coming out of the conference hall and said, "Wan junior brother and the others are out..."
Jiang Tingxia immediately turned her head, and Zhou Ruoxi also turned her head slightly. Her autumn eyes, filled with a faint light, looked at Wan Yunting in the distance, seemingly unable to accept the fact that he had girlfriends...
Seeing the look of disappointment in Zhou Ruoxi's eyes, Wan Yunting instantly understood what was happening. He said goodbye to Chang Wude and Wu Weizi and quickly walked towards Zhou Ruoxi. Unexpectedly, Jiang Tingxia stepped forward to stop him and asked sternly, "Wan junior brother, do you really have a girlfriend?"
"Hmm?"
Wan Yunting's expression froze. He glanced at Jiang Tingxia, then looked up at Zhou Ruoxi and said, "Didn't I agree to marry that Yingying?"
"It's not that."
Jiang Tingxia waved her hand, gritted her teeth, and said, "Junior brother Zihang just said you have a girlfriend in Huadu City, right?"
This time, Wan Yunting's expression turned blank. He immediately looked directly at Li Zihang, realizing it was this kid who had said it.
Facing Zhou Ruoxi's expectant gaze, Wan Yunting sighed and nodded, saying, "I do have a girlfriend!"
"You..."
This time, Jiang Tingxia's almond eyes widened in anger as she glared at Wan Yunting, saying, "You clearly have a girlfriend, why are you still with my Senior Sister Zhou..."
Behind them, Zhou Ruoxi's autumn eyes showed disappointment. She turned and walked towards the outside.
"Ruoxi..."
Wan Yunting immediately chased after her, and Jiang Tingxia also reacted and chased after them...
"What's going on?"
Li Zihang, Qi Wu, and Feng Yuxiu were left stunned, completely unaware of what was happening.
"Scumbag!"
Unexpectedly, Xu Lingwei, who was standing expressionlessly beside them, seemed to have understood and said coldly before turning to leave.
Li Zihang and the others looked confused and asked, "Senior sister, what do you mean by scumbag..."
Wan Yunting, who had chased after them, grabbed Zhou Ruoxi's jade hand and quickly said, "Ruoxi, listen to me, I can explain..."
"That's enough, Wan junior brother!"
However, Zhou Ruoxi turned around, slowly shook off Wan Yunting's hand, and said coldly, "Forget it. Let's just pretend nothing happened. My junior sister and I will go down the mountain later. Don't contact me again. Lastly, I congratulate you on becoming the Taoist Master."
After speaking, Zhou Ruoxi's gaze moved away from Wan Yunting decisively and she turned to leave.
"Ruoxi..."
Wan Yunting wanted to chase after her, but Jiang Tingxia held him back and said fiercely, "Wan junior brother, don't bother explaining. Who told you to deceive my Senior Sister Zhou? But forget it, Senior Sister Zhou will never marry you anyway!"
This statement made Wan Yunting a bit confused, but he wanted to explain. However, Jiang Tingxia glared at him fiercely with her wide almond eyes, pouted, and hummed, "Just pretend you've never met us. Goodbye!"
"No, you guys..."
Watching the senior and junior sisters leave one after another without giving Wan Yunting a chance to explain, he felt helpless.
However, Wan Yunting didn't know how to explain anyway. After all, it was because of the peerless Yin-Yang cultivation technique at the bottom of the valley that he and Zhou Ruoxi had become intimate, and they eventually fell for each other.
Wan Yunting had no intention of hiding it from Zhou Ruoxi. He had planned to find an opportunity to tell her about his girlfriend these past two days, but he didn't expect Li Zihang to reveal it today.
"Sigh..."
Wan Yunting sighed helplessly, shaking his head. He knew that it would be difficult to explain such a thing to Zhou Ruoxi in a short period of time...
Back in her residence, Zhou Ruoxi couldn't help but shed tears of sadness...
Although she understood that her intimacy with Wan Yunting at the bottom of the valley was not a result of mutual affection.
However, Zhou Ruoxi truly loved Wan Yunting. She had never expected that the man she liked already had a girlfriend.
"Senior sister, don't be sad."
Jiang Tingxia quickly comforted her. She also learned about what had happened between Zhou Ruoxi and Wan Yunting after they jumped into the valley. She had initially been happy for Zhou Ruoxi, but now she was disappointed that Wan Yunting truly had a girlfriend.
"Hmph, Wan Yunting is such a scumbag. No wonder he has so many gossip rumors. It turns out those women are all involved with him."
Jiang Tingxia often used Douyin and read news. She had paid attention to Wan Yunting's deeds and gossip. She had seen news about him being involved with several girlfriends in Huadu City.
Now that she saw him hurting her senior sister, Jiang Tingxia was very angry. She said, "Senior sister, let's cut ties with that scumbag from now on and have no further contact. You will go down the mountain and return to our sect later. You can then wholeheartedly succeed your master as the sect leader. Our Emei disciples don't need to get married!"
It turned out that Zhou Ruoxi's several moments of sadness were because she had long been groomed by her master as her successor!
But Zhou Ruoxi genuinely fell in love with Wan Yunting, and even had the thought of spending her life with him like Senior Kang Guangling and Senior Li Qingshui. Therefore, she had originally planned to refuse her master's high expectations and choose to be with Wan Yunting.
However, she unexpectedly learned that he already had a girlfriend. This was why Zhou Ruoxi had resolutely broken off her relationship with Wan Yunting!
Although she was heartbroken and reluctant now, Zhou Ruoxi was not the kind of woman who would disregard everything for love. At least, she maintained a rational attitude now.
She would just pretend that nothing had happened between her and Wan Yunting at the bottom of the valley, and that she had never come to Wuliang Taoist Temple or met this person...
After adjusting her emotions, Zhou Ruoxi, suppressing her grief, packed her luggage with Jiang Tingxia and left Wuliang Taoist Temple immediately.
Hearing that they were leaving, Wan Yunting naturally rushed to see them off. However, Zhou Ruoxi did not want to see him. Even knowing that the man was behind her, she did not choose to turn back. Her pretty face was cold as she carried her suitcase and went down the mountain with her junior sister Jiang Tingxia...
Seeing her leave the mountain without even looking back, Wan Yunting could only sigh helplessly in his heart...
But how could Zhou Ruoxi just sever ties so easily? She loved this man too deeply, and the memories of them at the bottom of the valley were too profound, making it difficult for her to forget.
Since she couldn't forget, she would let him become a beautiful memory, forever sealed in her heart...
