Looking at the hideous centipede scar gradually disappear under the effect of the top-grade injury medicine. In the end, not even a wrinkle was left, Lin Yi smiled with satisfaction and handed a mirror to Huang Xiaotao.
Huang Xiaotao took the mirror from Lin Yi in a daze and finally woke up from her wild imagination. When she thought of the possible situation, her hands couldn't help but tremble. She held the mirror for a long time, not daring to look at her own face.
"Don't be afraid. Take a good look at yourself now." Lin Yi smiled and encouraged her.
"Okay." Huang Xiaotao nodded and took a deep breath. Finally, she mustered the courage to look at herself in the mirror. Then, in an instant, she was stunned in disbelief.
Her skin was as white as jade, and her skin was as soft and smooth as a newborn baby's. Her face was pure and flawless. After being tormented for so many years, Huang Xiaotao finally saw her past self again. This was a scene that had only appeared in her dreams!
Was this another dream? Huang Xiaotao subconsciously pinched her arm and felt a real pain. Her heart was suddenly filled with ecstasy. It was actually real!
Smack! Huang Xiaotao suddenly hugged Lin Yi excitedly. She tiptoed and kissed him on the cheek. Unable to suppress her excitement, she said incoherently, "Did you fall in love with me because you knew that you could restore my appearance... You're really amazing..."
"Huh?" Lin Yi was speechless. His original intention was that after Huang Xiaotao restored her appearance, she would naturally regain her confidence and would not be constrained to be with him.
In terms of beauty, after Huang Xiaotao restored her appearance, she was not inferior to Shanghai Laner at all. In the past, even a person like Su Zhaohe was fascinated by her and did not hesitate to use despicable means. Now, she would definitely be able to attract countless young talents to submit to her.
Unexpectedly, after Huang Xiaotao was pleasantly surprised. Her first reaction really made Lin Yi dumbfounded for a long time. He was at a loss for what to do.
"Xiaotao, I'm only treating you as a good friend. I really don't mean anything else …" Lin Yi had no choice but to bite the bullet and tell her the truth.
In any case, now that she had regained her looks and confidence, she would definitely be the center of attention when she returned. Lin Yi reckoned that even if he were to tell her directly, she probably wouldn't be too upset …
Upon hearing this, Huang Xiaotao was taken aback. A pair of pure and beautiful eyes stared at Lin Yi's face in astonishment. Her lips moved, but no words came out.
"Xiao Tao, I know you're a good girl, but I already have a lot of girlfriends … …" Since he'd already said it, Lin Yi decided to just say it all at once. He didn't want to leave any misunderstandings. "It's not just what you've seen and heard. I have girlfriends in Zhongdao, and not just one. So … "
"Since there are already so many, is there still a need for me?" Huang Xiaotao suddenly interrupted. Not only did her gaze not shrink back in the slightest, it became even more resolute.
"Pfft …" Lin Yi almost spat out a mouthful of blood. He suddenly didn't know what to say. How did this girl's brain work? What kind of thinking and theory was this?!
"Oh, I know!" Huang Xiaotao suddenly patted her head. She suddenly realized and said, "You're afraid of being found out by them, so you don't dare to accept me, right? That's right, Shangguan Laner is such a high and mighty little princess. How could she accept a low-level Blue Cloud Pavilion disciple like me … "
"This … You're right …" Lin Yi was completely defeated by this girl's logic. He could only take advantage of the situation and lie. Anyway, no matter what, as long as he could make her retreat in the face of difficulties, it didn't matter what reason she used. What was important was the result.
"Then I know … Thank you …" Huang Xiaotao seemed to have finally figured something out. She smiled sweetly at Lin Yi. After putting on her veil again, she didn't say anything else and directly ran away.
"Phew, she finally gave up." Lin Yi looked at her back and couldn't help but let out a long sigh. He stretched out his hand to wipe the cold sweat on his forehead. Talking to this girl was more tiring than fighting with someone.
To be honest, with Huang Xiaotao's pure and beautiful appearance, coupled with her strong and kind character, any man would be happy to see her. Naturally, Lin Yi was no exception. After all, a fair and graceful lady was a gentleman's desire. This was the nature and common problem of men.
The reason why Lin Yi was trying to find ways to reject her was that he really didn't want to bear more love debts. Having so many confidantes was indeed a blessing that all men would be extremely envious of, but at the same time, it was also a heavy responsibility on his shoulders.
From the beginning to the end, Lin Yi felt that he had too many confidantes. Therefore, ever since he came to Heaven-Stage Island, he deliberately avoided getting involved in love debts. He wholeheartedly cultivated and advanced, hoping to be able to wake up the women as soon as possible.
If there was another Huang Xiaotao now, it would be unfair to both the many confidantes and Huang Xiaotao herself, so it was better to give up the idea as soon as possible.
"It's probably because she's grateful that she's impulsive and wants to repay him. As long as she calms down and thinks about it, I believe she'll think it through." Lin Yi shook his head with a smile and muttered to himself.
Little did he know that this kind of impulsiveness was indeed very likely to happen to other girls, but with Huang Xiaotao's always firm heart, how could she be so easily impulsive?
Five days passed in a flash. The day of the arranged battle between Su Zhaohe and Lin Yi finally arrived as scheduled under the watchful eyes of the public.
On this day, the North Island Arena was crowded, and the surrounding stands were packed, attracting more than 60% of the disciples of the Three Pavilions to watch the battle.
There was no need to talk about Su Zhaohe, as it was said that he was about to become Shangguan Tianhua's disciple, and he was one of the brightest geniuses in the three great pavilions. As for Lin Yi, although he was just a new disciple in the Welcoming Pavilion, he was the most famous new disciple in recent years, and his name had long since spread throughout the three great pavilions.
Both sides were in the limelight. Coupled with the clear gap in strength between them, this battle had already attracted much attention from the moment it was set, and became the latest topic of conversation among almost all the disciples of the Three Pavilions.
In the short span of five days, the public had interpreted the grudge between the two into several different versions.
Some people said that Lin Yi killed Su Zhaohu, and so Su Zhaohe wanted to avenge his cousin, and at the same time show off his strength to attract the attention of the Shangguan Cabinet. This was what Su Zhaohe said when he challenged Lin Yi in public.
There were also some who said that Huang Xiaotao had gone to the Welcoming Pavilion to meet with Su Zhaohe in private. This woman had been involved in a scandal with Su Zhaohe in the past, and due to her disfigurement in an accident, she was exiled to Clear Cloud Pavilion. It was because of her provocation that Su Zhaohe and Lin Yi became enemies. (To be continued …)
