Yunxi broke out in goosebumps under Sheng Yuhong's resentful gaze. What the hell? It made her feel like some heartless woman who had abandoned him, but they were only ordinary senior and junior martial siblings. Please! Could he not look at her like that?
Yunxi gave a light cough before replying,
"Junior Brother Sheng, if you can withstand nine more Thunder Tribulations, you can advance to Golden Core as well. With your aptitude, you might even reach the half-step Nascent Soul state."
Sheng Yuhong froze for a moment, unable to respond right away.
Yunxi immediately cupped her hands in farewell and went to the arena she had chosen to watch the matches.
Only after Yunxi left did Wei Yunqing move close to Sheng Yuhong and speak softly,
"Senior Brother, if Yunxi said anything inappropriate just now, I apologize to you on her behalf."
Sheng Yuhong had already recovered by then. Seeing Wei Yunqing come over while speaking ill of Yunxi, he said coolly,
"Senior Sister Wei did not say anything, nor is there any need for you to apologize. I merely asked her about her Core Formation experience."
Wei Yunqing sensed Sheng Yuhong's protectiveness toward Yunxi and bit her lip.
"Yunxi's temper has grown even worse since her Core Formation. When she returned to the family before, she nearly clashed with Old Ancestor. Fortunately, the Family Head smoothed things over at the time."
She did not mention a single word about why Yunxi had confronted Old Ancestor.
Sheng Yuhong frowned, seemingly unconvinced that Yunxi would do such a thing. Still, he said,
"Since you have joined the sect, the sect's interests should naturally come first. The family does indeed have to be set aside for now. As an outsider, it would not be appropriate for me to comment."
With that,
