Fang Ling couldn’t help but take a few light sniffs, the fragrance of a woman filling his senses, causing his heart to flutter.
Bai Ying called him bad, but deep down, she felt a twinge of excitement, anticipating something even worse to happen next.
The wonderful atmosphere continued to ferment, and Fang Ling wanted to pluck the white flower before him.
But just then, a terrifying aura enveloped the pavilion, causing both of them to shudder.
“Hmph! What a shameless rogue, behaving so indecently upon first meeting!”
“Ying’er, aren’t you coming over here?!” A figure suddenly appeared outside the pavilion.
This person had her hair tied up high, a voluptuous figure, and looked like a beautiful woman in her thirties.
She wore many exquisite accessories like earrings and jade bracelets, making her appear even more noble and elegant.
She was none other than Su Luomei, the Pavilion Master of Tianyin Pavilion, exuding a powerful presence.
“Pavilion Master!” Bai Ying’s face changed drastically upon seeing Su Luomei suddenly appear.
However, when she had been playing the Heaven and Earth Longevity earlier, she hadn’t sensed her nearby.
Thus, she concluded that Su Luomei had just arrived, fortunately not hearing the earlier sweet nothings, otherwise, she would have been too embarrassed to face anyone!
She quickly put away her zither and stepped forward to greet her.
“Pavilion Master, what brings you here?” she muttered.
Su Luomei looked at Bai Ying with a disappointed expression, wanting to scold her.
But when the words reached her lips, she softened and couldn’t bear to do it.
She sighed deeply and said, “Naturally, I came to find you.”
“I just came out of seclusion and learned from your master that you’ve been lingering in the royal city of the Great Zhou for ten years.”
“You’ve always been obedient and wouldn’t do anything strange, so I knew there was something fishy about this.”
“Coming here to see, ha!”
Su Luomei glanced at Fang Ling in the pavilion, her tone growing colder, “You really have some nerve, daring to touch the saintess of Tianyin Pavilion.”
“Don’t think that just because you gained some insights in the Dragon Arena, you’re something special.”
“No matter how talented you are, without growth, you’re still just a small fry.”
Fang Ling looked at Su Luomei and said calmly, “Ying’er and I are in love, it doesn’t concern you.”
Bai Ying quickly added, “Pavilion Master, Young Master Fang and I love each other, please don’t blame him.”
Seeing Bai Ying’s infatuated look, Su Luomei felt a surge of anger.
She knew exactly who Fang Ling was and what he had done.
“Ying’er, I’m not against you falling in love.”
“But not with this person!” Su Luomei said coldly.
“Do you know how ruthless he is? He once massacred the Chuan Clan tribe in the Miao Territory, using the lives of billions to practice demonic arts.”
“You’re truly blinded by pig oil to fall for such a heartless demon.”
Bai Ying didn’t know how to argue, as she was aware of this and it seemed to be true.
“The Chuan Clan priest is also an immortal realm expert, and the Heavenly Dao Sect is eyeing him. This boy has no good end.” Su Luomei added.
Fang Ling replied, “My life and death are none of your concern.”
Seeing Fang Ling’s defiance, Bai Ying felt uneasy.
She knew her pavilion master well; she was very domineering.
Fang Ling’s repeated defiance might provoke her.
Sure enough, the next moment, anger flashed across Su Luomei’s face, and her immortal power surged as if she wanted to suppress Fang Ling.
Suddenly, the space rippled like water, and a cold woman appeared out of thin air, standing between Su Luomei and Fang Ling.
“Master?!” Bai Ying exclaimed with joy upon seeing the newcomer.
This cold woman was Bai Ying’s master, the Grand Elder of Tianyin Pavilion, Su Ruobing.
“Though this matter is worrisome, there’s no need to get so angry, sister.” Su Ruobing looked at Su Luomei.
The two of them looked quite similar in appearance and figure, being twin sisters, but their temperaments were completely different.
One was fiery, the other cold as frost.
Seeing her sister blocking her, Su Luomei felt displeased and sneered, “Look at what he’s holding in his hand?”
“Upon first meeting, he wants to take advantage of Ying’er. Such filth is absolutely unworthy of her.”
“Even if Ying’er resents me for life, I will kill this rogue today!”
Su Ruobing silently looked at Fang Ling and saw that he was holding Bai Ying’s undergarment, her brows immediately furrowing.
Bai Ying panicked and quickly explained, “I… I took it off myself for him to play with, he didn’t take it.”
“See, Ying’er is already bewitched!” Su Luomei’s eyes widened, almost fainting from anger.
“Today, I must eliminate this demon, or it will affect her cultivation in the future.”
“No, this matter needs careful consideration.” Su Ruobing said sternly.
As Bai Ying’s master, she knew her disciple’s personality very well.
She seemed weak, but she was very strong-willed.
If her sister killed Fang Ling today, Bai Ying would no longer belong to Tianyin Pavilion.
“Sister, this person is in deep trouble now. Even if you don’t kill him, he’ll likely die at the hands of that Miao Territory priest or Wen Mu.” She transmitted to Su Luomei.
“Don’t be impulsive! Let’s take Ying’er back to Tianyin Pavilion first.”
“This person will die outside sooner or later, and Ying’er will be sad for a while, but she’ll get over it eventually.”
“But if we forcefully intervene, I’m afraid…”
Su Luomei, though hot-tempered, was not foolish.
Thinking it over, she realized it made sense and there was no need to create trouble for herself.
She snorted coldly and turned away.
Su Ruobing looked at Bai Ying, transmitted a few more words to her, and then left the courtyard with her sister.
After they left, Bai Ying came to Fang Ling’s side.
“Don’t blame my master and the pavilion master. I know they’re looking out for me, and they’ve never treated me badly all these years.” she said.
She didn’t want the two people she respected most to have an irreconcilable rift with Fang Ling.
“I have to go now, or today’s situation will be hard to resolve.”
“But my master said, if you can resolve your troubles, you can come to Tianyin Pavilion to find me in the future!”
Fang Ling nodded, “Alright, I’ll come to Tianyin Pavilion to find you in the future.”
He never intended to force Bai Ying to stay by his side, and even if she wanted to follow him, he would persuade her to return to Tianyin Pavilion.
Now was not the time to enjoy life; having a woman by his side would be a burden.
Moreover, he didn’t want to kill and practice his arts in front of his woman.
“Promise me, I’ll be waiting for you at Tianyin Pavilion!” Bai Ying smiled softly, then stood on tiptoe to kiss him.
Blushing, she turned around and flew off to join her master and the pavilion master.
“Wait, this thing…” Fang Ling called out, wanting to return the undergarment to her.
“Keep it for now, return it to me next time we meet.” Bai Ying muttered, her figure disappearing.
Fang Ling rubbed the garment in his hand and put it into his storage ring.
Women were not his everything; after Bai Ying left, he didn’t feel sentimental.
The longer he stayed in the mortal world, the more he understood that only by becoming strong could he protect everything he cherished.
“Fang Ling, you’re quite carefree!” Suddenly, a teasing voice sounded behind him.
Fang Ling turned around and saw that it was the Purple Bamboo Abbess speaking.
