Damn!

So the legendary White Emperor was actually this girl?!

What the hell?!

What kind of mess is this?!

Yi Feng was utterly dumbfounded.

He truly never expected that the fabled Sage White Emperor would turn out to be Bai Piaopiao!

As the girl stood before him, $2er clear eyes brimming with tenderness, $2ll the lines he had prepared and his carefully crafted schemes to provoke hatred were completely useless!

All the acting skills he had honed earlier were now utterly pointless!

Watching the Xu Family Father and Son sent flying, he could instantly piece together—those two Xus had nothing to do with Bai Piaopiao.

He’d been tricked!

This whole thing was one big misunderstanding.

Damn!

But with countless eyes fixed on him, he had already become the center of attention.

Playing along with the awkward atmosphere, $2i Feng tentatively asked,

"Uh… can you kill me?"

What kind of move was this?!

The crowd was completely stunned, their brains struggling to process it!

Even Su Jie, $2atching from behind, was left speechless.

Only Bai Piaopiao, $2fter a brief pause, lightly covered her lips with her sleeve, her eyes sparkling with amusement.

"Long time no see. You’re still as entertaining as ever…"

Her laughter was charming but not coquettish, soothing like moonlight, warm like the first light of dawn.

Even the bystanders couldn’t help but feel their hearts skip a beat.

But when they noticed that the White Emperor’s gaze was fixed solely on this man, $2nd recalled how casually he had called her by name earlier—

so intimate…

Instantly, $2he air around them turned sour with envy!

Anyone with eyes could see—

these two were old acquaintances, and their relationship was far from ordinary!

Damn it!

Seeing Bai Piaopiao’s soft laughter, $2i Feng also chuckled awkwardly to ease the tension.

"Heh…"

No matter how unwilling he was, $2e knew—

his attempt to get himself killed this time was a complete failure!

Sigh.

After so long apart, $2euniting with this woman he once cared for, though unexpected, still brought a flicker of joy.

At least there was a silver lining in this mess.

And in Bai Piaopiao’s eyes, $2eeing that forced smile of his, her heart involuntarily raced.

This was the first time she had ever seen this man show such an expression.

Years had passed, $2et everything felt like it happened just yesterday.

Meeting again now was like a beautiful dream—too perfect to be real.

Recalling his earlier words, $2ai Piaopiao’s heart fluttered uncontrollably, her awareness of the surroundings fading entirely.

Her gaze was locked onto the face she had longed to see for so long.

After a brief hesitation, $2he finally whispered the question weighing on her mind.

"I heard… you’ve been looking for me lately?"

Yi Feng’s face burned with embarrassment.

After searching high and low for the White Emperor, treating it as his chance to die, even resorting to extreme measures—only to find out it was her!

This misunderstanding was downright humiliating!

If word got out, $2is reputation would be ruined!

But the facts were undeniable.

The witnesses had already spoken…

He had no choice but to admit it.

Scratching his head awkwardly, he explained,

"Yeah, that’s true. I just never expected you’d already become a Sage…"

His demeanor, $2is evasive words—

to Bai Piaopiao, he looked like a bashful young boy, shy and flustered.

How adorable.

Meeting again after so long, $2t seemed Yi Feng had changed a little.

But she hadn’t changed at all.

The longing to see him remained, even stronger now.

Blushing slightly, $2ai Piaopiao met his gaze with sincerity and nodded softly.

"Mhm…"

"I’ve grown stronger lately, but I’m still the same person—whether I’m a Sage or not."

Hearing this, $2i Feng felt a surge of warmth in his heart!

In his past life, $2e’d had close friends too, but as time passed, their paths diverged, and their friendships faded with the distance between their lives.

Yet here in this world, $2e had met a girl who valued their bond so deeply.

True friendship stood the test of time!

There really was kindness left in this world!

Even though his death-seeking plan had failed, Yi Feng found some comfort in this.

He flashed what he thought was a bright smile.

"I know! Meeting you in this lifetime was worth it!"

To be cherished like this—

Bai Piaopiao’s heart trembled at his words.

Staring at him in surprise, $2eeing that radiant smile, $2he felt a sweetness she had never known before.

No achievement, not even becoming a Sage, could compare to this feeling!

Yi Feng…

understood her feelings.

And here, $2n front of countless onlookers, he had spoken so boldly.

It seemed he had been longing to see her all these years too.

Otherwise, $2hy would he have searched for her so relentlessly, even making it public knowledge…

Their connection hadn’t faded with time—instead, it had matured like fine wine, intoxicating the soul.

Bai Piaopiao smiled.

A genuine, heartfelt smile, one she had never shown before. Though she held back the tears in her eyes, she was overwhelmed with joy.

"Mhm…"

Suddenly, $2n immense aura of Daoist energy radiated outward!

The bystanders were awestruck, $2uickly immersing themselves in the profound insights, trembling with excitement!

A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

This was truly an unparalleled stroke of fortune!

Many young elites could no longer care about opportunities, standing rigidly in place with eyes practically spitting green flames!

Why?!

How could this guy be held in such high regard by Bai Piaopiao?!

The two of them exchanged words back and forth, reminiscing like old confidants—this was no ordinary friendship!

And then they saw it.

Bai Piaopiao actually smiled, not just once, but repeatedly!

The elites on the scene nearly ground their teeth to dust!

The air grew thick with the sour stench of envy, almost suffocating!

If Xu Xianzhi had been a despicable scoundrel before, then Yi Feng now was a thousand times worse!!!

At most, others just wanted to climb up by currying favor with Bai Piaopiao, relying on clever tricks to bask in her fortune. Shameless, yes, but understandable—after all, everyone seeks higher ground.

But this guy?!

He actually—

He actually chatted and laughed with Bai Piaopiao, a goddess descended from the heavens! Their intimate tone and demeanor alone were enough to ignite fury!

Absolutely detestable!!!

After watching for a while, $2he sound of countless shattering hearts echoed around them.

Those were the pure hearts of young men!

Envy!

No matter who Yi Feng was, at this moment, he was nothing but an object of burning jealousy!!!

Many had already, silently, marked him as their number one enemy!

Until they saw Bai Piaopiao…

Actually!

Blush and nod in response?!

Numb!

Everyone was numb!

Looking up at the sky, they felt nothing but overwhelming helplessness!

As mere bystanders, $2hough they resented being completely ignored, $2hey could see it clearly—

This man held an irreplaceable place in Bai Piaopiao’s heart, far beyond their reach.

Witnessing such an enviable scene, $2any silently shed tears, abandoning all hope, yet not daring to move, forced to endure this heart-wrenching torment!

Damn it!

They just wanted to scream—

Someone, kill me already and liven up their moment!

Another young man shed bitter tears, his heart shattered beyond repair.

Regret and resentment were swallowed whole!

As the two conversed effortlessly, the onlookers gradually grew numb, finally turning their attention to Yi Feng.

Only then did they realize—

Considering his extraordinary significance, shock began to spread!

Even if they refused to admit it, $2hey knew—anyone who could be so intimate with a Saint was no ordinary figure. And someone worthy of a Saint’s attention… just what kind of existence was that?!

The mere thought of it Made many gulp in fear, no longer daring to harbor disrespectful thoughts.

Around them, $2he atmosphere became wholly immersed in the comprehension of the Great Dao.

Even with lingering resentment, $2aced with such an opportunity, the elites couldn’t afford to miss it!

Within moments, $2hey swallowed their bitterness, sat down cross-legged, and channeled their frustration into fervent enlightenment!

Except for…

Su Jie, standing alone in utter bewilderment.

Watching Bai Piaopiao laugh, blush, and nod in turn, $2ven with her monstrous talent, she couldn’t make sense of the scene before her, let alone grasp the Great Dao unfolding now. She grew more and more lost!

This so-called "Path of Love"—

Could it truly make even a Saint lose control?

So profound and inscrutable!

Truly terrifying!!!
