Xiao Yufan’s emotional fluctuations quickly caught the attention of the four women, and instinctively, their beautiful eyes shifted toward Cheng Ying.
“She must be the one Ling Han mentioned, right? My husband’s taste has always been excellent!”
Looking at Cheng Ying’s delicate face, Dongfang Yanran smiled slightly. If she hadn’t guessed wrong, this woman from the Qing Ling Sect was likely the one her husband had never forgotten. Moreover, this woman had joined their lives earlier than any of them.
“So this is Sister Cheng Ying. She really is beautiful. I wonder how my husband managed to win her over!”
Tian Xuan’s lips curved into a gentle smile. She had known about this woman for quite some time, though she had never met her. Still, she couldn’t deny that Cheng Ying was even more impressive than she had imagined.
Although the women had long accepted the presence of other females in Xiao Yufan’s life, a strange feeling still stirred within them—especially considering Cheng Ying’s exceptional qualities. After all, everyone holds a special place in their heart for the first person they love.
At this moment, Ye Kong had already stepped onto the stage. Looking at the man before him, he made no effort to hide his fierce fighting spirit. Now that he had already incurred Cheng Ying’s displeasure, he naturally had fewer reservations. At worst, after everything was over, he would simply let the little princess vent her anger.
“Qing Ling Sect, Ye Kong!”
Even though Ye Kong had an air of superiority, his expression remained calm, for he knew the man standing before him was no ordinary person.
Could an ordinary man throw down two experts at the later Heaven stage? Could an ordinary man completely dominate someone as formidable as the Nine Palace Master?
“You should know why I’m here. Back then, you and Ying’er clearly separated. Why then does she still carry feelings for you? Don’t you understand that youth is the most precious thing for a woman?”
Surprisingly, Xiao Yufan’s expression remained calm, which, in Ye Kong’s eyes, was nothing short of mockery.
“Ying’er… she still thinks about me? It seems she truly had no choice but to endure. But why did this silly girl bear so much alone?”
A soft spot deep inside him was struck. Hearing Ye Kong’s words, Xiao Yufan’s entire being seemed to drift into a daze. So it was all true—yet he had never realized it.
His gaze softened gradually as his eyes returned to Cheng Ying. Such a quiet woman had, over the past few years, endured so much pain alone.
But from this day forward, Xiao Yufan vowed not to let this woman suffer even the slightest harm. Whatever Qing Ling Sect owed him, this man would pay it back piece by piece.
Although Ye Kong still wore a faint smile, a chill suddenly ran down his spine as he sensed the abrupt shift in Xiao Yufan’s aura. His body tensed instinctively—he was genuinely afraid that Xiao Yufan might strike at any moment.
“Qing Ling Sect, huh? If I get the chance, I’ll definitely visit in person and see just what gives you the right to control Ying’er’s life!”
Xiao Yufan’s voice was cold. He didn’t need to think twice to know that the source of all this lay with Qing Ling Sect. Noble families are often heartless, and this guardian sect that had stood for thousands of years was likely even older than the ancient elders. Ying’er’s departure must have been forced by Qing Ling Sect.
“Because Ying’er is the little princess of Qing Ling Sect…”
Ye Kong had intended to say more, but he quickly shut his mouth. If he had previously thought Xiao Yufan was unworthy of Cheng Ying, now, with just the identity of the Young Master of the Heaven Alliance alone, Xiao Yufan was more than worthy.
“Even if Ying’er were a celestial fairy from the Ninth Heaven, I would still pull her into my hell and let her fall. No one can stop me—not even you!”
Xiao Yufan sneered coldly. He held no goodwill toward these arrogant members of the guardian sect. Since this man had such confidence, he would utterly shatter the pride of those from the guardian sect once and for all!
