Zhao Yuande walked up to Lin Xi with large steps, a smile appearing on his face.
"You … What are you doing?!" When Lin Xi saw the smile, she couldn't help but take a few steps back. Her voice was trembling slightly.
"Did you forget about our bet just now?" Zhao Yuande smiled. He was in a good mood.
"I … I didn't forget." Lin Xi clenched her teeth. She sensed countless eyes looking at her from all around. Among them, there were those who took joy in her misfortune, those who didn't understand what was going on, and those who treated her coldly. These gazes were like sharp blades that continuously hacked at her heart, almost making her collapse.
Her master was a Dao Sovereign. Although her master didn't want her to be ostentatious, she still had a sense of superiority over others.
In the Empty Divine Realm, other than a few people, she didn't care about anyone else.
But now, she was being asked to lower her head and admit her mistake in front of countless people. She even had to kowtow and admit her mistake. This wasn't something she could bear!
And this was in front of Xiaoguang. How would Xiaoguang look at her in the future?
Would he look down on her? The fantasies in her heart … those hopes …
At this moment, there was a rumbling sound in her head. She had completely forgotten what she had promised her Senior Sister.
"Since you didn't forget, shouldn't you fulfill your promise?!" Zhao Yuande was still smiling.
He was in a good mood now. As long as the other party sincerely lowered her head and admitted her mistake, he didn't have to make her kowtow and admit her mistake.
There was only a misunderstanding between them. It hadn't reached the point where they had to shed all pretense of cordiality and hate each other!
Moreover, what was even more important was that that seemingly outstanding and otherworldly woman, as well as Lin Xi's senior sister, was clearly unordinary. He didn't want to make so many enemies because of this small matter either.
"I … I just said it casually. We didn't really make an oath. I … I won't …" Lin Xi had already thrown caution to the wind. Even if she was scolded by her senior sister, she couldn't do that.
"Sigh!" Hearing Lin Xi's words, Fairy White Phoenix shook her head in disappointment. She was really disappointed in her junior sister!
She couldn't be bothered to stay here any longer, so she turned around and left in disappointment.
"Senior sister …" Lin Xi could sense his senior sister's disappointment, but he didn't mind it too much either. At worst, he'll just act a bit more spoiled in front of his senior sister in the future, her senior sister might just forget about today's matters.
What she really cared about now was Xiao Guang's attitude, Xiao Guang's opinion of her.
"Fairy … Fairy … This is your junior sister. Don't you care?" Xiaoguang hurriedly chased after Fairy White Phoenix when he saw her leave.
"This Junior Sister … is beyond saving!" Fairy White Phoenix's voice was slightly angry, and she didn't even turn around.
"…" Xiao Guang was a little confused.
However, at this moment, he could tell that Fairy White Phoenix was extremely unhappy. Even if he chased after her, it would be useless. Instead, he would only make her hate him.
He couldn't help but look at the person beside him.
"Young Master, it's like this …" That person immediately understood and explained everything that had happened from beginning to end.
Xiaoguang was not a fool. On the contrary, he was extremely intelligent. He instantly understood Fairy White Phoenix's painstaking efforts and the reason why she left in a huff.
At this moment, he was in a bit of a dilemma. What should he do?
Helping Lin Xi might offend Xinghe, but helping Xinghe would offend Lin Xi.
He could tell that Lin Xi was very interested in him. He was still hoping that he could use this relationship to get closer to Fairy White Phoenix. His chances of winning her favor might be higher.
If he offended Lin Xi this time, although Fairy White Phoenix wouldn't say anything on the surface, no one knew what she was thinking in her heart.
Besides, although Fairy White Phoenix was disappointed in Lin Xi, she was still her junior sister. If he helped Lin Xi, she might not say anything on the surface, but she might still be grateful to him in her heart.
Furthermore, they had a Dao Sovereign behind them. If he helped Lin Xi, wouldn't this Dao Sovereign have a better impression of him?
It was said that Fairy White Phoenix was extremely respectful to his master. If this master allowed her to marry him, would she …
However, the identity of Xinghe in front of him … If he was really a genius from the Fortune Realm, perhaps …
Thousands of thoughts were spinning in Xiaoguang's mind, weighing the pros and cons.
"Oh! You want to go back on your word? "Zhao Yuande's face turned ugly when he heard Lin Xi say such words.
Everyone around couldn't help but reveal excitement in their eyes. This was the rhythm of making a big deal out of this!
It seemed that today's matter wasn't so simple. It might very well be more lively.
As the saying goes, there's no need to be afraid of things getting out of hand. These people were all excited.
"I … I didn't go back on my word. I just said it casually. I didn't expect you to take it seriously!" Since Lin Xi had made her decision, she might as well go all the way. Her eyes revealed a hint of malevolence and madness.
"Oh! So it was just a casual remark! " Zhao Yuande sneered. "I heard that everything in the Empty Divine Realm operates according to order. Will you be punished by the Empty Divine Realm if you go back on your word in public?"
"You …" Lin Xi gritted her teeth. She couldn't help but look up. Clearly, she had some misgivings in her heart.
"Brother Xinghe, why don't you listen to me?" At this time, Xiaoguang took a step forward and stood between the two of them. He cupped his hands towards Zhao Yuande.
Seeing Xiaoguang appear, Lin Xi's eyes lit up all at once. Her eyes flickered with joy.
"Oh! Brother Xiaoguang, what do you have to say? If you want to plead for her, then you don't have to open your mouth! " Zhao Yuande was a person who would respect others tenfold. But if you want to interfere in my matters, then don't blame him for not showing mercy.
The moment Zhao Yuande's words came out, everyone around was shocked. But soon after, they revealed excitement instead.
Just now, when Xiaoguang stepped forward, everyone thought that this matter would be reduced to a small matter because of Xiaoguang's face. But they didn't expect that this young man called Xinghe didn't give the other party any face at all. This was interesting!
"Oh … Actually, I don't want to plead for her either. I just want to change the method." Xiaoguang didn't expect to be rejected so heartlessly by Zhao Yun. His expression couldn't help changing slightly. But he forcefully suppressed the anger in his heart and still said with a smile on his face.
"Oh! Change the method? "Zhao Yuande sneered.
The others were also curious.
"That's right! Why don't we compensate you with soul crystals! " Xiaoguang said with a smile. "Everything has its value. Miss Lin Xi's bet with you just now can naturally be repaid with soul crystals!"
