Ye Yi's temples throbbed with veins, and he clenched his fists. Chi Yi's irritating look was infuriating.

"Yes, yes, that's so kind of you! Let's go inside!" The doting tone made Chi Yi feel even better.

Yan Ruyue is tall and slender, standing at nearly 1.75 meters, which makes her stand out in the crowd. In comparison, Chi Yi is slightly petite and delicate, but she is still cute and charming.

When the two stand side by side, their adorable height difference is on full display—Yan Ruyue is like a tall poplar tree, while Chi Yi is like a dodder vine clinging to it.

One was gentle and graceful, like a little bird clinging to its nest; the other held her slender waist with domineering affection and gently stroked her hair. The scene was so beautiful that it seemed as if time had stood still.

If an outsider were to witness this, they would feel that the loving and caring interactions between the couple are something to be longed for.

But the person he saw at that moment was Ye Yi, and he found him extremely annoying, wishing he could go up and separate the two of them.

However, since he had no official status at the moment, he could only maintain a respectable smile and watch helplessly as Yan Ruyue embraced Chi Yi and went into the house.

Yan Ruyue glanced at Ye Yi with a complicated expression as she passed through the door, then nodded to him, and Ye Yi immediately followed.

"Please have a seat, I'll go get some tea!" Yan Ruyue said.

As soon as Yan Ruyue disappeared, the two people sitting face to face immediately turned cold, their eyes filled with extreme displeasure.

Turning on sarcastic mode: "Tsk~ Fiancé?! My darling Ruyue didn't even introduce you. Clearly, you're not that important to Ruyue~"

Ye Yi retorted, "Just because I don't have you now doesn't mean I won't in the future. Yue'er and I will be husband and wife in the future, and you will eventually be replaced by me!"

Chi Yi continued, "Yo-ho~ It's not even dark yet, and you're already dreaming! I wonder how much you drank to cause this illusion!"

"Whether it's a dream or not, it's not up to you to decide..." Ye Yi stopped speaking when he realized that Yan Ruyue had returned.

The two of them returned to their gentle demeanor as when Yan Ruyue had left.

Yan Ruyue handed each of them a cup of tea. As soon as she sat down, Chi Yi leaned in and asked in a sweet voice, "Ruyue, who is this? I've never seen him before?"

"Xiao Yi, this is our third senior brother, Ye Yi. He went out to train and only recently returned," Yan Ruyue said.

He then said to Ye Yi, "Third Senior Brother, this is my good friend Chi Yi, the disciple of Peak Master Su of Sword Peak."

After Yan Ruyue finished introducing the two, Chi Yi said, "So it's Senior Brother Ye! My apologies for not being more respectful!"

Ye Yi couldn't see any disrespect in that sarcastic manner.

"Not at all, I've heard so much about Junior Sister Chi!" she replied with a gentle and refined demeanor.

The atmosphere fell silent for a moment.

Yan Ruyue spoke up, "Third Senior Brother, I will consider our matter. Please give me some time." Her eyes were serious; she really would think it over carefully.

Ye Yi looked at her tenderly, with a hint of doting, and replied, "Okay, Yue'er, I'll wait for your answer, no matter how long it takes!"

After finishing his tea, he left.

Seeing that Ye Yi had left, Chi Yi finally returned to normal and no longer leaned on Yan Ruyue like a spineless person.

"Ruyue, you and him..." Chi Yi asked.

"I'm still considering it. My master told me about it, and whether he agrees or not is entirely up to me," Yan Ruyue replied wearily.

Yan Ruyue pinched her brow, clearly quite troubled.

Chi Yi thought about the plot carefully, wondering what was wrong. She didn't remember this scene happening. Who exactly was Ye Yi? Why wasn't he mentioned at all in the plot?

What she didn't know was that Ye Yi was mentioned later in the story. Yan Ruyue had never seen her third senior brother who died young. When the evil cultivator who killed Elder Zhou Mo returned to report, he encountered Ye Yi, who was also being chased by evil cultivators. He was already seriously injured, and with the addition of more enemies, he could only die unwillingly in the end.

This time, because Chi Yi notified the sect in advance, not only was Elder Zhou Mo saved, but the evil cultivator was also killed, which allowed Ye Yi to escape the evil cultivator's pursuit.

Seeing his friend's furrowed brow, he tentatively asked, "Is there some special reason?"

Yan Ruyue nodded: "Third Senior Brother is the youngest son of the Fox King of the Fox Clan in the Demon Realm. He was rescued by Master by chance and became Master's disciple. The Fox Clan also intends to form a marriage alliance with the sect. If it happens, it will be beneficial to the future exchanges between the human and demon realms."

Chi Yi continued, "So, is it simply that you don't want a marriage alliance, or do you dislike Senior Brother Ye?"

Yan Ruyue shook her head, her expression even more troubled: "Neither. If a marriage alliance can bring benefits, it is not necessarily a bad thing. Although I can't say I like my third senior brother, I don't dislike him either. It's just that every time I want to agree, there is always a voice in my heart telling me that I can't agree. He is not my destined one."

Chi Yi: Oh~ I see, it's the plot at work!

The plot is really powerful! The male lead has already confessed his feelings to his white moonlight, and the two of them have come to understand each other. They're just one step away from officially becoming a couple, but he still insists on getting Xiaoyueyue involved in their relationship. He's really up to no good.

With Chi Yi around, would she allow Yan Ruyue to become a mistress? Impossible.

Chi Yi said, "Ruyue, why don't you not agree yet, and spend some time with Senior Brother Ye, that is, date him first. When you no longer have those feelings, and feel that you can really agree, then reply to him. What do you think of that?"

Yan Ruyue frowned slightly, lost in thought. After a moment, her eyes gradually brightened, and a smile appeared on her lips: "Hmm... this method might really work! Xiao Yi, thank you so much! You've done me a huge favor!"

As she spoke, Yan Ruyue gently patted the other person's shoulder to express her gratitude.

Her previously tense expression finally relaxed, and her beautiful face was filled with a relieved joy.

Then, Yan Ruyue took a deep breath, as if to expel all her troubles. Then, she raised her head and looked into the distance, as if she could see a bright future after the problem was solved.

The determination and confidence shining in those eyes were truly moving.

Chi Yi thought to herself: My lovely, charming, and kind-hearted little Yueyue is simply a treasure bestowed upon the world by heaven! Her stunning beauty and gentle, graceful temperament make people fall in love with her.

It's such a pity that such a stunning beauty is about to be snatched away by that despicable man! It's so unfair! Sigh, if only I were a man, he wouldn't have a chance to interfere!

Thinking of this, Chi Yi couldn't help but feel a pang of regret and helplessness. The fault lay in her gender, sob sob...

No, we can't let that jerk get away with this so easily. Chi Yi said, "Ruyue, you have to test Ye Yi properly. If he flirts with other people outside, you absolutely can't tolerate it. Besides, we're just dating now. If you don't like him later, you can break up. The sect leader said that your wishes should be the priority. You don't have to have a man."

Yan Ruyue chuckled and said with a smile, "Okay, I understand. I certainly won't wrong myself."

With a brighter mood, Yan Ruyue finally remembered: "Xiao Yi, is there something you need from me today?"

When this was mentioned, Chi Yi explained her purpose: "Yes, I almost forgot the main matter. It's about the upcoming sect exchange conference. The list of participants has been released, and I came to ask if there's anything else I should be aware of?"
