Bai Yixing became even angrier and he used both hands to try to break free from the servant's control.

But the servant was very strong and he couldn't get rid of him. He finally regretted not listening to his parents. If he had found a master to learn martial arts for a few years and developed the Force, he wouldn't have been bullied by these people!

But he was stubborn and could not punch or kick the man, so he used his free left hand to scratch the man. Suddenly, he felt a pain in his palm, as if he had been stabbed by a sharp object in the man's clothes. He pinched it again and found it was a four-cornered diamond-shaped object.

Bai Yixing immediately realized that these people were not without jade cards, but deliberately hiding them on their bodies. He said, "What if I guess who you are?!"

The woman sneered and said, "If you can guess who I am, I will not only leave the temple immediately, but also apologize to you. But I have a rule in mind: you can only guess three times at most!"

Bai Yixing pouted and said, "Why do we need to do it three times? Once is enough!"

"Then tell me, who are we?"

"You are from the Ling family! You are... you are... ouch..."

The woman was obviously surprised and asked, "What are you groaning about?"

"You are the third lady of the Ling family, Ling... Ling Shuxue!" Bai Yixing cried out in his heart that he was unlucky. He thought that his mother had forced him to go to her house to propose marriage, so how come he met this ugly thing now?

There was a moment of silence in the carriage, and the woman did not refute. It was obviously Ling Shuxue, the third daughter of the Ling family.

After a long while, Ling Shuxue said, "How...how did you recognize him?"

Bai Yixing snorted and said without explaining, "Why do you care how I recognized you? Get out of here and apologize to me!"

If it were anyone else, he would have cursed out foul language long ago, but since the person he was meeting was Ling Shuxue, with whom he had an arranged marriage, Bai Yixing couldn't help but become more polite in his words.

The servant finally let him go.

Ling Shuxue originally thought that Bai Yixing would not be able to guess who she was within three attempts, so she had no intention of apologizing. However, she was guessed by the other party after just one try, and was forced to apologize, which made her feel a little embarrassed and she didn't know what to say for a moment.

A male servant was busy helping his mistress, saying, "How could my mistress apologize to you, Master Bai, do you have any shame?"

Bai Yixing said: "How do I feel shameless? She clearly said it herself. As long as I guessed your identities, she would not only quit the shrine but also apologize to me! Are you guys trying to cheat?!" What he hated most was people who didn't keep their promises, so he said this particularly harshly.

Ling Shuxue still didn't answer. She really couldn't bring herself to apologize to someone she had been engaged to since childhood and whom she had never met.

The little maid couldn't help but said, "If anyone wants to apologize, it should be you, Bai Yixing, who should apologize to our young lady first!"

Bai Yixing was so angry that he laughed and said, "I think there is no justice in this world. People who have done nothing wrong have to apologize to those who have done something wrong. This is really unreasonable!"

The little maid said, "I heard... I heard... that you tell everyone in Ice City that my young lady is... is..." She didn't dare to say the rest of the words.

Ling Shuxue obviously heard something and said, "Cui Zhuer, what does he tell everyone about me?!"

Bai Yixing screamed in his heart, "Oh no, oh no, how did those words get to her ears?" Then he thought, it's good to let her know, as long as her family doesn't want to marry and my family doesn't want to marry, I heard that the marriage contract written in blood can also be annulled, and he won't have to face an ugly monster every day in the future.

The little maidservant hesitated and didn't dare to speak.

Ling Shuxue said angrily: "Just tell me, I won't blame you!"

The little maid finally said, "Miss, this person said... that you are an ugly monster with a ghost fish spot on your face..."

As soon as these words were spoken, the carriage suddenly became very quiet. Ling Shuxue did not speak, but clear rapid breathing sounds could be heard.

Bai Yixing couldn't help but feel very proud, thinking, "So what if you are the third daughter of the Ling family? So what if your Ling family is rich and powerful? It's a pity that you are ugly, it will be difficult for you to get married in the future."

Suddenly, I thought, what if she still doesn't want to cancel the engagement after hearing these words? The blood-lettered engagement is like a life-and-death contract. If I don't marry her, it won't work. I might even be arrested and thrown into the prison in Ice City. That would be terrible.

Ling Shuxue finally said in a stern voice: "Mr. Bai, did you really say that?"

Bai Yixing said: "I haven't seen you, of course I heard it from others." He looked nonchalant.

"Then tell everyone you know that you definitely did it?!" Ling Shuxue was obviously very angry.

Bai Yixing said unhappily: "You are allowed to grow up like that, but are others not allowed to say anything?"

"Then take a look at whether I have ghost fish spots on my face!" There was a sound and the car curtain was pulled open by Ling Shuxue.

A face with slightly frowned eyebrows and fair and tender skin appeared in the treasure carriage. Under the candlelight of the ancestral hall, it had a faint blush on it, making it look even more beautiful.

Bai Yixing was stunned for a moment. This girl was not an ugly one at all, but clearly a real beauty. Not only was there not even a trace of ghost fish spots on her face, but she was actually whiter than the whitest jade.

It was also the first time that Ling Shuxue saw Bai Yixing. He had a high nose and handsome eyes, and a face as sharp as jade. He was wearing a jade-white wide-sleeved cloud shirt with six-petal pattern, which made him look even more handsome. She couldn't help but be stunned.

But she still said angrily: "See clearly, am I an ugly freak?!"

Bai Yixing's heart was beating fast, and he stammered, "No... No..."

"Then do you want me to compensate you for breaking the door? Do you want me to come down and apologize to you?!"

"No... no need..."

Ling Shuxue went on, "Everyone says that you, Bai Yixing, are extremely smart, but you are not doing your job properly. I didn't believe it, so I thought about coming to see for myself, but I didn't expect it to be true! I think you are smart, but still a fool!" After saying that, she pulled the curtain shut again and said nothing more.

Although Bai Yixing heard her scolding harshly, all he could think of was the stunningly beautiful face of Ling Shuxue that appeared the moment she opened the car curtain. He thought that the rumors were indeed not credible. He had always refused to propose marriage to the Ling family and refused to listen to what his mother said. He was really a fool!

He just stood there in a daze at the door of the ancestral temple, not knowing what to say or do for a moment. He was unable to react even when Ling Shuxue called two male servants and a maid over and drove the carriage out of the ancestral temple, let alone say a few kind words to his wife, who had been engaged to him since childhood.
