Bai Xinyue’s beautiful face immediately darkened.
"Bai Zihan!"
She glared at him furiously.
"Who is your little sister?!"
Bai Zihan looked at her innocently.
"What? Did I say something wrong?"
Well, considering their ages, it wouldn’t be wrong to say that Bai Xinyue was his little sister, though she certainly wasn’t keen on that title.
Bai Xinyue was so angry that she almost couldn’t speak.
Seeing her reaction, Bai Zihan’s smile became even wider.
"Look at you. I haven’t seen you for three years, yet you’re still acting like a child."
"Who are you calling a child?!"
Bai Xinyue nearly exploded.
Then, she turned toward Meng Qingchen and Qiao Ruoxi.
"He’s my cousin!"
Her voice was filled with indignation.
"We’re cousins! Do you understand?"
When Bai Zihan introduced himself, Meng Qingchen and Qiao Ruoxi already knew that their earlier assumption had been completely wrong.
They had thought Bai Zihan was Bai Xinyue’s former lover.
They had even imagined a dramatic story of love turning into hatred.
The two Saintesses couldn’t help but feel a little embarrassed.
Meanwhile, Ye Tianxuan had also heard Bai Xinyue’s words.
His expression changed slightly.
"Saintess Bai Xinyue... is from the Eastern Region?"
He turned his head and looked back in disbelief.
Although he had heard that the newly crowned Saintess of the Flowing Moon Sect came from somewhere outside the Central Glorious Continent, he hadn’t paid much attention to her origins.
After all, the Eastern Region was a place he had never thought highly of.
In his eyes, the Eastern Region was merely a remote and backward place.
Its cultivation resources were far inferior. Their most powerful can’t even be considered guards for the Top Clan.
And its younger generation was even less worthy of attention.
Compared to the geniuses of the Central Glorious Continent, the cultivators of the Eastern Region were hardly worth mentioning.
Naturally, Ye Tianxuan had never imagined that the newly crowned Saintess of the Flowing Moon Sect would come from such a place.
Yet now, he had discovered that Bai Xinyue, the genius who had defeated countless candidates and obtained the position of Saintess, was actually from the very region he had looked down upon.
For a moment, Ye Tianxuan didn’t know what to think.
He wasn’t the only one.
The other Central Glorious Continent cultivators who had heard the conversation were equally astonished.
They had always believed that the Eastern Region was incapable of producing truly outstanding geniuses.
Yet Bai Xinyue had completely overturned their assumptions.
Ye Tianxuan finally understood why Bai Xinyue had protected Bai Zihan.
It was because he was her cousin.
Meanwhile, Meng Qingchen and Qiao Ruoxi were having similar thoughts.
They had already corrected their earlier misunderstanding about Bai Zihan and Bai Xinyue’s relationship.
However, the more they thought about their identities, the more astonished they became.
Bai Xinyue was already an extraordinary genius.
Her cultivation progress over the past three years had been nothing short of astonishing.
In less than three years, she had advanced from the Spirit Severing Realm to the Immortal Ascension Realm.
Such progress was enough to make countless cultivators feel ashamed of themselves.
Even in the Central Glorious Continent, where resources were abundant and geniuses were everywhere, such a rate of cultivation was astonishing.
After all, many of the other Saintess candidates had cultivated for hundreds of years.
Some were even older than Meng Qingchen and Qiao Ruoxi themselves.
Yet Bai Xinyue had surpassed them all and obtained the position of Saintess.
Naturally, there had been no reason to question the Flowing Moon Sect’s decision.
Her talent was simply too extraordinary.
And now, they had discovered that Bai Zihan, her cousin, was also an Immortal Ascension Realm cultivator.
Looking at his age, he couldn’t be much older than Bai Xinyue.
Although his talent might not be as astonishing as hers, reaching the Immortal Ascension Realm at such a young age was still an incredible achievement.
He was undoubtedly a genius in his own right.
Meng Qingchen and Qiao Ruoxi exchanged a glance.
They couldn’t help but wonder.
Just what kind of place was the Bai Clan?
They had already encountered two members of the Bai Clan.
One had reached the Earth Immortal Realm in less than three years, having started from the Spirit Severing Realm.
The other was a young Clan Leader who had reached the Immortal Ascension Realm at an astonishingly young age.
And both of them were still so young.
If these were the results of the Bai Clan’s younger generation, then what about the others?
Could it be that the Bai Clan was actually a den of monsters?
The thought was so absurd that the two Saintesses almost laughed.
However, the more they thought about it, the more plausible it seemed.
After all, they had witnessed Bai Xinyue’s talent firsthand.
And now, Bai Zihan has appeared before them.
Two members, both of whom were extraordinary geniuses.
Bai Zihan smiled faintly.
He had already noticed the curious expressions on Meng Qingchen and Qiao Ruoxi’s faces.
However, he had no intention of staying here to satisfy their curiosity.
"Well, if there’s nothing else to ask, then I’ll be going."
He deliberately stared at Ye Tianxuan while saying that.
Then he looked toward Bai Xinyue.
"We can talk more when we have time."
With that, Bai Zihan turned around, preparing to leave.
However—
"Wait!"
Meng Qingchen suddenly called out.
Bai Zihan stopped and turned to look at her.
"Is there something else, Saintess Meng?"
Meng Qingchen smiled.
"We want to visit the Bai Clan."
Bai Zihan raised an eyebrow.
"Oh?"
Before he could respond, Qiao Ruoxi immediately nodded.
"That’s right! We’ve been curious about the Bai Clan for quite some time. Since we’ve encountered you here, why don’t you take us there?"
However, before Bai Zihan could answer, Bai Xinyue frowned.
"Sister Qingchen, Sister Ruoxi, have you forgotten about the gathering?"
The two Saintesses exchanged glances.
Then Qiao Ruoxi casually waved her hand.
"What gathering?"
Bai Xinyue was speechless.
"The gathering that Ye Tianxuan arranged! The reason we are here!"
"Oh, that one!"
Qiao Ruoxi suddenly pretended to remember.
However, her expression remained indifferent.
"So what?"
Bai Xinyue stared at her in disbelief.
"What do you mean, ’so what’?"
Qiao Ruoxi smiled.
"We don’t need to attend personally. There are plenty of elders in our sect who can represent us."
Meng Qingchen nodded in agreement.
"That’s right. There’s no need for us to attend every discussion ourselves."
She looked toward Bai Zihan.
"Besides, visiting the Bai Clan sounds much more interesting."
Bai Zihan couldn’t help but smile.
These two Saintesses were certainly straightforward.
They had agreed to attend the gathering, yet now they were casually talking about skipping it.
Meanwhile, Ye Tianxuan’s expression had become extremely ugly.
His face was practically turning green.
He was the one who had organized the gathering.
He had personally extended invitations to the major forces, hoping to bring everyone together and establish cooperation in the search for the True God’s Legacy.
Yet now, the two Saintesses of the Flowing Moon Sect were openly declaring that they didn’t need to attend personally.
Worse still, they were doing so right in front of him.
And their reason?
They wanted to visit the Bai Clan!
Ye Tianxuan felt as though someone had slapped him across the face.
After all, he had spent considerable effort organizing the gathering.
Yet Meng Qingchen and Qiao Ruoxi didn’t seem to take it seriously at all.
They had agreed to cooperate, but they didn’t even intend to show up themselves.
Wasn’t this an obvious disregard for him?
Ye Tianxuan clenched his fists.
His expression was so dark that it seemed as though water could drip from his face.
However, he couldn’t say anything.
Complaining in front of everyone simply because they had refused to attend personally would make him seem petty.
Bai Zihan fell silent for a moment.
Honestly, there wasn’t much benefit in bringing Meng Qingchen and Qiao Ruoxi to the Bai Clan. Nor was there any particular downside.
However, he glanced at Ye Tianxuan.
Looking at the latter’s increasingly ugly expression, Bai Zihan suddenly felt that this might be an interesting opportunity.
If he took the two Saintesses away now, wouldn’t Ye Tianxuan become even more furious?
After all, not only had his gathering been disregarded, but the two Saintesses he had invited would also be visiting the Bai Clan instead.
Just thinking about it made Bai Zihan want to laugh.
Although it would be a little troublesome to entertain two Saintesses, the opportunity to make Ye Tianxuan lose even more face was certainly tempting.
After thinking for a moment, Bai Zihan finally smiled.
"Sure!"
He looked toward Meng Qingchen and Qiao Ruoxi.
"Our Bai Clan would be delighted to welcome two beautiful Saintesses as our guests!"
The moment these words fell, Meng Qingchen’s eyes immediately lit up.
"Wonderful!"
Qiao Ruoxi also smiled brightly.
"Then it’s settled!"
Bai Zihan nodded casually.
"Of course!"
He then glanced toward Ye Tianxuan again.
And sure enough, Ye Tianxuan’s face had become even more livid.
