The grand and antique front hall gathered many cultivators from top families.

Most of the cultivators had angry expressions on their faces, but there were also a few cultivators who had playful smiles on their faces, which was out of tune with the solemn atmosphere of the hall.

Cha Yiyi was led into the front hall like a puppet by the power at her waist. The hall, which was originally full of discussions, suddenly became quiet.

It was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

Everyone's gaze fell on Cha Yiyi as if it were real, making her feel uncomfortable and tormented.

In many cases, it is not only material things that can hurt people.

Sometimes, non-material, invisible and intangible things can cause more profound harm to people.

For example, malicious words; for example, unkind looks...

After all, Cha Yiyi is young and has never experienced too much ugliness in the world, let alone been looked at like a criminal in public like this.

She instinctively wanted to escape from this place, and wanted to find an uninhabited place to hide alone and slowly digest the "malice" given to her by others.

But she just struggled a little, and the arms wrapped around her waist tightened forcefully.

After spending some time together, Cha Yiyi knew in her heart that if Youlan Shang didn't want to, she would never be able to escape from his clutches.

After figuring this out, she stopped struggling and stayed obediently by the man's side.

But the gazes around her were like sharp blades, torturing her alive, making her feel terrified and uneasy like an ant on a hot pan.

She really couldn't bear such pain, so she had to throw herself into the man's arms, burying her little face completely in Youlan Shang's broad and warm chest.

Fortunately, the man did not push her away, allowing her to hide in his arms for shelter and security.

Many cultivators over fifty years old shook their heads upon seeing this, their eyes full of contempt.

However, due to Youlan Shang's strong strength, no one dared to be the first to speak out and criticize him.

You Liangchuan brought Bai Xueruo to the main seat in the front of the hall. After he sat down, the heads of other families took their seats one after another.

Other cultivators who had a close relationship with the head of the family stood behind his seat; those who had a distant relationship stood in the front hall near the door.

No matter what the relationship between the father and son of the You family is, You Lan Shang will definitely have a place in such occasions.

In the Tianlan Continent, even if you are the head of the family's illegitimate son who is not valued, as long as you are strong enough, you can have a certain status and voice in the family.

In this world, the words "the strong are respected" are taken to the extreme.

In the past, no one would say anything when Youlan Shang sat down.

But when the heads of the various families saw him bringing the "sinner" to the table in a dignified manner, and even letting the woman sit on his lap, all their dissatisfaction and anger finally erupted at this moment.

"Young Master You, isn't your action inappropriate?" The head of the Mo family, one of the four major families, spoke first.

This man looked to be over forty years old, with handsome and elegant features, but his eyes were full of turbidity.

Youlan Shang did not take the other party's words to heart, and continued to do her own thing, unmoved.

However, when Cha Yiyi heard this, she tried to stand up like a frightened bird, but the man pressed her firmly on his legs without saying a word.

"Just sit still and don't embarrass me in front of so many people."

Youlan Shang leaned close to the girl's ear and spoke viciously, seeming to be extremely dissatisfied with her timid appearance.

Cha Yiyi secretly raised her head and glanced at the man. She wanted to say that given her current status as a "criminal", he should avoid suspicion, otherwise, others would inevitably vent their anger on him.

But when her gaze met Youlan Shang's phoenix eyes as dark as the abyss, the words she wanted to say were swallowed back.

The reason was simple: the man's eyes were too arrogant, with a kingly air that looked down on everyone, as if nothing was a problem for him.

It's only whether he wants to or not, not whether he can or not.

A thought suddenly flashed through Cha Yiyi's mind, perhaps Youlan Shang was the biggest supporter she could rely on.

As long as she can maintain a virtuous cycle with Youlan Shang, she can basically walk sideways in this book without having to be afraid of anyone or anything.

Thinking of this, she stretched out her arms tentatively and climbed onto the man's shoulders, showing her weakness and asking for help in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

"Husband, will you save me?"

Youlan Shang's eyes became darker and deeper.

"What do you give in exchange?"

She didn't know if it was her illusion, but she seemed to see a flash of dark purple light in the man's eyes just now, so fast that it seemed like an illusion caused by her dizziness.

Cha Yiyi didn't take this matter to heart. Her brain was frantically thinking about what bargaining chips she could use.

Two seconds later, an answer came out.

"Love tribulation! I can help you break through the love tribulation!"

This is the only bargaining chip she can think of at the moment.

In the original novel, Youlan Shang was indeed ruined by love. Otherwise, with his natural talents and abilities, he could have led the Tianlan Continent to a higher peak.

The so-called higher peak was briefly mentioned in the extra chapter of the original work.

She still remembered that the extra chapter was written from the perspective of 'Cha Yiyi after death'.

It talks about how the upper limit of the cultivation level of cultivators in Tianlan Continent is just to become an immortal. However, after Youlan Shang achieved the goal of becoming an immortal, he lost his pursuit of goals. Because he could not get the love of Bai Xuerou, he finally gave up on himself and simply destroyed Tianlan Continent to bury himself.

If Youlan Shang had not been blinded by love at that time, he would have been able to break through the "Angel Realm" by continuing to practice, and the Tianlan Continent would have benefited from him and completely ascended to another spatial world.

This is similar to the breakthrough from three-dimensional space to four-dimensional space.

When Youlan Shang heard the girl's answer, her long eyebrows raised slightly, and she dropped four ambiguous words in the other's expectant gaze.

"see your performance."

This means there is hope.

Cha Yiyi's almond-shaped eyes brightened instantly, and the clouds finally cleared and the moon appeared on her pretty face, revealing a bright smile.

All the cultivators in the hall focused their attention on Youlan Shang and Cha Yiyi, and many of them were even whispering and looking at them with contempt.

You Liangchuan, who was sitting in the main seat on the high platform, could no longer bear it and roared.

"How dignified!"

The sound was so loud that Cha Yiyi, who was sitting on the man's lap, couldn't help but shiver.

She turned her head and saw You Liangchuan staring at her with anger, as if he wanted to cut her into pieces.

Bai Xuerou, who was standing beside the man, had the same gaze as him, even more intense...

Cha Yiyi was about to speak, but unexpectedly Youlan Shang's voice sounded a second before her.

"Master You, I'm talking to my wife, why are you so angry?"
