Huang Bing glanced at her but said nothing.

Who knew that Xuan Jing would not give up and directly said, "Bingbing, I know you have feelings for Chief Qing Yao. Being rejected this time must have been quite a blow. We have always been close friends, so why donโ€™t I host you in Westwind City for some leisure to take your mind off things?"

Hearing this, everyone suddenly remembered: this legitimate daughter of the Phoenix Family had just confessed her feelings for Chief Qing Yao in front of everyone, but alas, it was a case of unrequited love.

With this in mind, the crowd looked at Huang Bing with a strange expression.

Xuan Jing showed a facade of concern, but inside, she was smug.

She was certain that Huang Bingโ€™s reputation was likely to suffer this time. If it were more severe, it might even affect her mental state, which could hinder her future cultivation.

Huang Bingโ€™s gaze remained fixed on Xuan Jing.

She had already been cautious before, and now hearing these seemingly caring but actually malicious words, how could she not understand?

One would think they were genuine friends, but it turned out she was dealing with a treacherous spider!

Huang Bing suddenly laughed.

Their attention captured, people wondered if perhaps being refused had hit Huang Bing hard emotionally.

But then they heard Huang Bing laugh and say, "To think that such a trivial matter would hit me hard, Xuan Jing, are you underestimating me, Huang Bing?"

Seeing that everyone was looking at her and noticing Xuan Jingโ€™s astonished look, Huang Bingโ€™s demeanor grew even calmer: "For us Martial Artists, love is a trivial matter. Cultivating and becoming stronger is the Righteous Path. Being rejected this time, I feel as though my obsessions have been cut away, leaving my heart clear, and even several cultivation barriers have suddenly vanished."

She gazed in the direction where Gu Shengyin and Qing Yao had walked away, slightly bowing to show respect.

Turning back, she spoke to the Elder of the Xuan Clan: "I feel something in my heart and am preparing to return home for focused cultivation. I came to say goodbye."

Seeing her calm demeanor and clear gaze, everyone was amazed at her breakthrough potential.

The Elder standing in front of Xuan Jing did not hide his admiration: "With such an open heart and such talent, your future is limitless. In that case, I wonโ€™t keep you any longer."

Huang Bing bowed to him and then turned and left without looking back.

Even without looking, she knew that Xuan Jing must be so frustrated she could spit blood, yet she had to suppress it.

Thinking of Xuan Jingโ€™s expression at this moment, Huang Bing felt incredibly relieved, and even the frustration of being rejected had faded quite a bit.

After all, her affection for Chief Qing Yao was mostly a kind of admiration and reverence for a beautiful and outstanding person of the opposite sex.

Without deep love, being rejected wasnโ€™t such a painful thing.

She had thought about why Xuan Jing would scheme against her and realized that the reason boiled down to talent.

The Phoenix Family and the Xuan Family are both prominent clans, and both of them are of similar age and are direct line descendants, making them equals in status.

However, at just under twenty years old, Huang Bing is already at the Peak of a Mystic Master, soon to break through to Mystic King, while Xuan Jing, who is a year older, has just barely reached Mystic Master.

This significant gap is enough to inspire jealousy in Xuan Jing.

Fully understanding the reason, Huang Bing now knew how to effectively deal with her.

She didnโ€™t even need to lower herself to argue with her.

For someone like Xuan Jing, maintaining her cultivation speed and leaving her far behind would be the greatest blow and retaliation.
