Chapter 907 Why do you object?
Suddenly, Bai Luoying thought of the man standing next to Su Chenyin, who was as handsome as a banished immortal, and her heart began to beat fast.
"Mother," she raised her head slightly, her eyes revealing a girlish shyness, "There is one more thing, that Jun Yijue..."
Madam Ximen frowned: "Jun Yijue? Is that the man you said was inseparable from Su Chenyin?"
Bai Luoying blushed slightly and nodded gently: "My daughter...my daughter treats him..."
Before she could finish, Old Madam Ximen sneered, "I have been traveling in this Yueya Continent for many years, and I have never heard of any family or sect with the surname Jun."
"He is hanging out with Su Chenyin, so I think he is just a low-level disciple of some unknown sect."
Elder Bai quickly agreed: "Indeed. This person's origin is mysterious, but judging from his low level of cultivation, he is probably just a disciple of a small sect."
"Ying'er," Madam Ximen lifted Bai Luoying's chin and said sternly, "Ying'er, how can a man of such a humble origin be worthy of you?"
"As my eldest grandson Ling's daughter, you are of an extremely noble status. In the future, you must marry a man of equal status to highlight the glory of my Ximen family."
A hint of displeasure flashed across Bai Luoying's eyes, but she quickly concealed it.
She stamped her feet coquettishly: "Mother, your daughter naturally knows your good intentions."
"But this Jun Yijue is my daughter's favorite type. He is really handsome, tall, and has an extraordinary temperament. I fell in love with him the first time I saw him."
As soon as she finished speaking, Bai Luoying's cheeks seemed to be stained with a faint blush by the setting sun, and the scene of her first meeting with Jun Yijue that day seemed to reappear in front of her eyes——
He was dressed in a white robe as white as snow, with beautiful features, and his every move exuded a cold and aloof temperament that seemed otherworldly.
At that moment, her heart was beating like a drum, and an unprecedented throbbing swept through her body.
She had never seen such an outstanding man before. He seemed like a god from the nine heavens and made her fall in love with him at first sight.
The image of Jun Yijue's face that outshined the heaven and earth emerged in her mind - sword-like eyebrows, star-like eyes, a nose like a hanging gall bladder, and thin lips as perfect as if they were cut by a knife.
Especially those eyes as deep as the abyss, which seemed to be able to see through people's hearts and made her obsessed.
"He is really handsome, with extraordinary temperament..." Bai Luoying held her cheeks with both hands, her eyes shining with a dreamy brilliance.
Chang Sun Ling couldn't help but sigh in her heart as she looked at her daughter's persistence and obsession.
She knew too well the blind infatuation of youth, she herself had suffered from it herself...
However, she also deeply understood that in this world of immortal cultivation full of cruelty and competition, matters of the heart could not be decided on impulse alone.
"Ying'er," she said in a softer tone, "Love is like a mirage, seemingly beautiful but hard to grasp. You must not just look at the surface."
"The road of cultivation and the road ahead are full of thorns and challenges. Your husband must not only be a good match for you, but also be able to work hand in hand with you and help you gain a firm foothold in this complex Yueya Continent."
Old Madam Ximen sighed softly, her gaze passed Bai Luoying and turned to the swaying branches in the distance.
The branches swayed gently in the breeze, as if telling the impermanence and change of life.
A hint of sadness flashed in Madam Ximen's eyes, as if she saw Bai Luoying's future full of unknowns through the blooming scene.
However, Bai Luoying was obviously not moved by Madam Ximen's words.
There was a flash of impatience in her eyes, but she quickly changed into a well-behaved expression: "Mother, since your daughter knows what you are talking about."
"But I just like him. He may be of ordinary origin, but as long as you take action to eliminate Su Chenyin, he will definitely fall at the feet of my daughter."
There was a glimmer of calculation in her eyes, and she opened her red lips slightly: "When the time comes, I will get tired of playing with him and will naturally abandon him like a worn-out shoe. I will not marry him."
She spoke briskly, as if she were talking about an insignificant toy.
"Silly child," Madam Ximen sighed and stroked Bai Luoying's hair, "When it comes to love, be careful not to be impulsive."
"If you really like him, mother can help you. But remember, toys are just toys after all, don't take them seriously."
Bai Luoying's eyes flashed with cunning: "My daughter understands. As long as mother removes Su Chenyin, the stumbling block, Jun Yijue will definitely look at me differently."
Madam Ximen nodded, and then said earnestly: "Ying'er, a true husband should be someone who can support you and grow together with you."
Bai Luoying curled her lips in disapproval, "Mother, don't worry. I will definitely find a man of equal status to marry. I already have a suitable candidate in my mind, and he will definitely bring honor to the Ximen family."
Madam Ximen nodded with satisfaction and stroked her daughter's hair: "This is my good daughter."
Bai Luoying snuggled in her mother's arms, a sinister smile on her lips.
Su Chenyin, just wait...
Soon, you will know the consequences of offending me, Bai Luoying!
Madam Ximen let her go, stared at Bai Luoying and asked, "Ying'er, who is the man of your dreams that you just mentioned?"
Bai Luoying's eyes suddenly lit up, like stars suddenly lighting up in the night sky.
She folded her hands over her chest, her fingertips trembling slightly with excitement.
"Yes...it's our Tianyan Sect's young master, Su Yi."
When saying this name, Bai Luoying's voice unconsciously became soft, and her eyes were filled with a girl's longing.
"He is young and promising. Not only is he well-known in Yueya Continent, but he is also very powerful. He is the well-deserved future star of Tianyan Sect."
Bai Luoying's cheeks turned slightly red, as if Su Yi was standing in front of her at this moment, gazing at her affectionately.
"My daughter has been infatuated with him since she was young," Bai Luoying unconsciously touched her chest, feeling her accelerated heartbeat there, "Every time I see him, my heart beats fast."
Her voice became quieter and quieter, until she almost talked to herself, a dreamy smile forming on her face.
"Snapped!"
A crisp sound interrupted Bai Luoying's reverie.
The teacup in Madam Ximen's hand had fallen to the ground at some point and broke into several pieces.
Tea splashed on her skirt, but she seemed unaware.
Her expression suddenly turned gloomy, and her eyes, which had been gentle as water, became as sharp as a knife.
"Ying'er!" Old Madam Ximen stood up suddenly, and her wide sleeves brought up a gust of wind.
"You absolutely cannot get this person! There is no chance for you and him!" She grabbed her daughter's wrist with such force that Bai Luoying cried out in pain.
Bai Luoying was frightened by Madam Ximen's sudden reaction.
From the time they met until now, she had never seen the dignified and elegant Madam Ximen lose her composure like this.
The hands that had always gently stroked her hair were now tightly holding her wrists like an iron clamp.
She felt her heart skip a beat and an inexplicable fear crawled up her spine.
"Why?" Bai Luoying's voice was filled with tears, and tears quickly gathered in her eyes. "Mother, what's wrong with the young master?"
"Why are you so determined to object?" She tried to pull her hand back, but Chang Sun Ling's strength was astonishingly great.
Her eyes were full of confusion, "He is the young master of the Tianyan Sect, the largest sect in Yueya Continent."
"He is of an extremely noble status, and is a perfect match for my daughter! My daughter's feelings for him have taken root since she was young. Why did you stop him so cruelly?"
Her face was full of grievance and resentment, and tears were welling up in her eyes, as if they would burst out at any time.
