"Ling Jiaxin, please don't leave me. Will you marry me?"
Dai Yunyang's eyes were filled with the last glimmer of hope. With his cultivation destroyed, he had lost everything he had.
The only thing left was Ling Jiaxin. As long as Ling Jiaxin was willing to stay by his side, he still had a chance to return safely to the Fengbo Kingdom.
Otherwise, he feared that before he even returned to the Fengbo Kingdom, his life would be gone.
Hearing Dai Yunyang's words, a hint of irony flashed in Ling Jiaxin's eyes. She couldn't help but recall when Baili Hongzhuang asked her why Dai Yunyang never brought her home.
"Dai Yunyang, I wanted to go home with you before, but you obstructed me in every possible way. Now that you're in such a state, you suddenly want to take me home? It's too convenient for you, isn't it!"
After Dai Yunyang uttered these words, all the previous friendship between Ling Jiaxin and him vanished in an instant.
She had thought that Dai Yunyang hadn't openly brought her home because of her poor family background.
Now it seemed that things weren't as she had imagined. Dai Yunyang simply didn't want to marry her.
If it wasn't the case, then he was using her now!
Regardless of which of these two possibilities it was, she would never forgive Dai Yunyang.
With her words spoken, Ling Jiaxin didn't even spare a glance at Dai Yunyang and slammed the door as she left the room.
Dai Yunyang's outstretched hand dropped heavily. How could he have imagined that he, who had always been confident and full of spirit, would end up in such a state of being abandoned by everyone...
When Wei Meidai came to ask Baili Hongzhuang for compensation for reputation damages, Baili Hongzhuang accepted the compensation while asking, "What about double compensation from your master?"
Wei Meidai was taken aback. "My master is already dead. Why would you ask me for double compensation?"
"It's widely known that your master committed suicide, and he didn't have any children. Therefore, his belongings naturally fall into your hands. You've received so much of his inheritance, can't you even provide this little compensation for him?"
Baili Hongzhuang raised an eyebrow slightly, a malicious curve forming at the corner of her mouth. Her seemingly indifferent words were filled with a threatening undertone, leaving Wei Meidai with no room to retort.
"Wei Meidai, aren't you being ungrateful? After all, it was because of you that your master's reputation was completely ruined."
Xia Zhiqing shook her head disapprovingly, her beautiful eyes filled with disdain and regret. "Do you want your master to bear the reputation of escaping from debts even in death?"
Seeing the synchronized response from Baili Hongzhuang and Xia Zhiqing, Wei Meidai's face turned pale. These two were clearly teaming up against her, it was despicable!
Others might not know, but she knew very well. She didn't believe that her master had committed suicide!
Yesterday, after her master scolded her and said he would find a way to handle the situation, how could he suddenly commit suicide?
Moreover, when she went to her master's residence today, she found that his storage bag was gone.
You see, her master's precious belongings were always kept in the storage bag!
Now that the storage bag was missing, there was no need to think—someone who had killed her master had taken it.
In other words, she had never received anything from Gu Cangyun!
But no matter how she explained, no one listened. Everyone thought she had taken a huge advantage, but she didn't have anything at all!
"Baili Hongzhuang, I've already given the compensation I should give. I'm leaving."
