"Thank you both for today, Young Master Hu and Young Master Chu. It's getting late, so let me treat you to a meal!" Chi Yi suggested.

Hu Rensheng nodded quickly: "Okay, Lao Chu, what about you?"

Chu He naturally agreed: "Then thank you very much, Miss Chi."

Chi Yi continued, "Then let's go to the Yue Lai Inn where I'm staying temporarily, what do you think?"

Hu Rensheng & Chu He: "We'll listen to Miss Chi."

After returning to the inn, Chi Yi asked about their dietary restrictions and then ordered several signature dishes. This inn was run by cultivators, and all the dishes contained a little bit of spiritual energy. The group enjoyed their meal.

After the meal, Chi Yi escorted the group to the entrance of the inn: "Young Master Hu, Young Master Chu, you two should go home now, I won't see you off."

Hu Rensheng was reluctant to leave. He had finally met a woman whose appearance and personality matched his aesthetic standards, but they had only spent half a day together. How could they possibly develop feelings for each other? He immediately asked, "Miss Chi, how about I take you to see other places tomorrow?"

Thinking that Jin Haoyu should arrive tomorrow, Chi Yi said, "Thank you for your kindness, Young Master Hu, but my friend is coming tomorrow and has important matters to attend to, so I'm afraid I won't have time."

Hearing her rejection, Hu Rensheng was a little disappointed: "I see..."

Chu He couldn't stand it any longer and asked, "How long will Miss Chi stay in Rongcheng?"

After a moment's thought, Chi Yi replied, "About half a month. I'll be waiting for some of my friends here."

Hu Rensheng's eyes lit up again: "Miss Chi, if you finish your business, I can take you and your friends to tour Rongcheng!"

“Okay, if I have time, I’ll definitely do it next time,” Chi Yi said.

The three exchanged contact information, and Hu Rensheng and Chu He prepared to take their leave.

Just then, a group of people suddenly surrounded them. The leader was a woman dressed in gorgeous clothes with a beautiful face. She was accompanied by a maid and followed by a dozen servants.

When Chu He saw the person who came, the corners of his mouth turned up and he revealed a gentle smile. He stepped forward and said, "Mengdie, what brings you here? Did you come to see me?"

The last sentence was his expectation, but he dared not say it aloud, fearing that he was just being presumptuous.

Xu Mengdie glared at him fiercely and said, "What do you think I'm doing here? You, my fiancé, are with another woman! Do you even respect me? What about the reputation of the Xu family?!"

Upon realizing she had misunderstood, Chu He immediately explained, "No, Mengdie, you've misunderstood..."

Xu Mengdie raised her hand to interrupt him: "Alright, I won't listen to your excuses. My father misjudged you. If you have any conscience, return the engagement jade pendant to me and cancel the engagement. It will save both families from looking bad."

Her maid, Xiaohe, was shocked. Wasn't she here to teach that woman a lesson? Why was she here to annul the engagement?

The servants behind them were already used to it; after all, Xiao He had only just come to Xu Mengdie's side, so it was normal that they didn't know her.

Chu He was also stunned by the words "annulment of engagement." How did they get to talking about annulment of engagement? He hadn't done anything!

He immediately rejected the idea: "No!"

"Mengdie, listen to me, this is really a misunderstanding, she..." She pointed at Chi Yi, trying to explain something, but was interrupted again.

"Stop! I don't want to hear your explanation. Give me the jade pendant right now!" Xu Mengdie tried her best to make her expression fierce.

Chu He said firmly, "No!" The engagement was finally arranged; how could it be called off? Absolutely not!

"Give it to me quickly!"

"No!"……

The two disagreed and neither was willing to compromise.

Chi Yi, who was watching the commotion from the side, asked Hu Rensheng in a low voice, "What's going on here?"

Hu Rensheng sighed and briefly explained what had happened between the two of them.

The story is that Chu He and Xu Mengdie were betrothed since childhood. Because Xu Mengdie was born weak and lived near Medicine King Valley, the two had never met since childhood. When she recovered and returned to Rongcheng, she heard about Chu He's romantic affairs and did not want to marry such a person.

In the past, Chu He was a young and romantic playboy with countless female companions. However, when he met Xu Mengdie, his fiancée, he fell in love at first sight and became obsessed with her. From then on, he became a different person, revolving solely around Xu Mengdie.

As the saying goes, a prodigal son who returns is more precious than gold. Everyone else thought this would be a perfect match, but Xu Mengdie didn't believe it and kept trying to find a reason to break off the engagement.

Chi Yi thought to herself, even if it were her, she wouldn't believe it. Men would only slow her down the speed at which she drew her sword; she'd rather they get as far away as possible.

In the end, the matter was dropped, everyone dispersed, and went home to their own families.

The next day, there was a knock on Chi Yi's door just as dawn broke.

Chi Yi, who was meditating with her eyes closed, woke up from her meditation and opened the door.

"Hi~ Chi Yi, I'm here!" He said as he entered Chi Yi's room and poured himself a glass of water.

"What do we do next? Where do we go?" Jin Haoyu asked impatiently after finishing his water.

He couldn't wait to travel and explore the magnificent landscapes of the cultivation world.

“No rush. I’ve taken on a sect mission. Rongcheng has a rare medicinal herb that’s unique to this place. We’ll go dig some up this afternoon. Kong Bai isn’t far from here and will come to find us in a couple of days. After that, we’ll set off for Sunset Abyss. Ling Lili, Bai Shu, and Hua Rongyi will also meet up with us there,” Chi Yi said slowly.

Jin Haoyu: ……Σ(????)?
