Under normal circumstances, Ye Yu had a deep impression of women. However, when it came to men he had only met a few times, he could barely remember their faces—one might say he had face blindness.

But, of course, there were exceptions.

Ye Yu still had a clear memory of a few very rare men, such as the cultivator named Fang Yingzhuang in the crowd ahead.

Even after such a long time without seeing him, Ye Yu remembered him vividly.

The reason was simple: Fang Yingzhuang had once "caused his death!"

This person was a disciple of the Guiyuan Sect, and he looked spirited and righteous, but in reality, he was a fool!

In the dream, Ye Yu was in love with Yun Cimu and had been given the title of vice sect master of the Guiyuan Sect, frequently visiting the sect. During that time, Fang Yingzhuang had met him several times.

Later, when Ye Yu was out sightseeing with Bu Lingfei, he unexpectedly ran into Fang Yingzhuang again.

But this guy had no insight whatsoever. He immediately bowed to Ye Yu and accidentally revealed the matter between him and Yun Cimu.

As a result, Bu Lingfei exploded in anger and went to find Yun Cimu for revenge.

After a battle between the two, the tragic incident that followed for Ye Yu occurred.

It could be said that if it weren't for this Fang Yingzhuang, Ye Yu would have been able to navigate smoothly between Bu Lingfei and Yun Cimu.

He might have even ascended to the heavenly realm together with the two of them.

Fang Yingzhuang was the ultimate culprit behind the collapse of that dream!

Now that they met again, Ye Yu still felt displeased.

However, he also understood that Fang Yingzhuang's actions were unintentional.

Otherwise, Ye Yu would have sent him to reincarnation right then and there!

Wait a minute!

In the dream, wasn’t Fang Yingzhuang a member of the Guiyuan Sect?

How could he have come to this place?

Could it be that members of the Guiyuan Sect would also come here?

What about Yun Cimu?

Ye Yu curiously looked around, but he did not see Yun Cimu's figure.

To be fair, Ye Yu really liked Yun Cimu.

The two of them were proficient in the dual cultivation method.

In that dream, all Ye Yu needed to do was practice the Kun character calligraphy with Yun Cimu every day, and his cultivation level would rise steadily.

They were extremely compatible.

If possible, Ye Yu truly wanted to see her again.

But it seemed that Yun Cimu had not come, which made Ye Yu feel somewhat disappointed.

Soon, the leader of the Guiyuan Sect's delegation, Yu Hai, walked over.

He clasped his hands to Li Nian’an and said, “Elder Li, all our people from the Guiyuan Sect are in place. When shall we attack the Chiyin Cliff?”

“First, let's rest in place for a moment. After half an hour, we will jointly enter the Jue Tian Mountain Range. Taking advantage of the night, we will catch the Chiyin Cliff off guard!”

Li Nian’an immediately began assigning tasks.

Then, the numerous cultivators began to rest in place.

Taking this opportunity, Ye Yu did not remain idle but directly approached Fang Yingzhuang.

“Your eyebrows and eyes are quite striking, you have an excellent appearance!”

“You flatter me. I’m just an ordinary disciple,” Fang Yingzhuang replied.

Although he said this, the smile on Fang Yingzhuang's face grew even brighter.

After all, who doesn’t like to hear compliments?

The next moment, Ye Yu took out ten spiritual stones from his storage ring and placed them in Fang Yingzhuang's arms.

This action instantly made Fang Yingzhuang's eyes light up.

As an ordinary disciple of the Guiyuan Sect, Fang Yingzhuang's resources were not abundant.

Ten spiritual stones equaled his offerings in the sect for more than a month.

Ye Yu spoke, “Actually, you look a lot like a friend of mine. He borrowed a lot of spiritual stones from me and then just disappeared. This matter has always weighed on my mind. The spiritual stones aren’t a big deal; I just want to hear him say he’s sorry. I wonder if you could convey that to him for me?”

Fang Yingzhuang hesitated for a moment.

Looking at the spiritual stones in his hands, Fang Yingzhuang felt quite conflicted.

It was a bit abrupt to say “I’m sorry” to a stranger in front of a large crowd for the first time.

For someone hesitant, Ye Yu had a unique secret weapon to help him decide.

He threw another five spiritual stones into Fang Yingzhuang's arms.

Feeling the heavy weight, Fang Yingzhuang made his decision.

Ye Yu pressed on, “How about this? If you say ‘I’m sorry’ for him, I’ll give you an extra spiritual stone. Just to satisfy my little wish.”

Fang Yingzhuang decisively exclaimed, “I’m sorry! I was wrong!”

Upon hearing this, Ye Yu felt an immediate sense of relief.

Sure enough, money could indeed move mountains.

Hearing Fang Yingzhuang's delayed apology was a form of compensation for the events in the dream.

As for the spiritual stones?

It didn’t matter. Ye Yu had plenty of those.

With each stone thrown over, Fang Yingzhuang's face turned red, and his voice grew louder.

He even started to embellish his performance, “I’m sorry, I deserve to die! I’m not even human, please forgive me!”

Soon, Fang Yingzhuang’s antics attracted the attention of many around them.

A few disciples from the Guiyuan Sect came over, curiously asking, “Junior Brother Fang, what’s wrong? Is this person bullying you?”

Ye Yu smiled but said nothing.

Fang Yingzhuang directly pushed a few of them aside.

“I advise you not to meddle in others’ affairs. This—this is just a game I’m playing with this friend. I’m happy!”

After saying that, Fang Yingzhuang began to apologize to Ye Yu again.

Ye Yu, never one to hold back on spiritual stones, threw one with every apology.

Before long, the onlookers noticed this trend.

Someone immediately stood up and said, “This friend, I’m quite good at apologies. I say the words ‘I’m sorry’ with utmost sincerity. I can definitely provide you with effective emotional value.

Why not let me say it instead?

I’m cheap; two sentences for one spiritual stone will do!”

“Get lost! I’ll give you one spiritual stone for three sentences!”

“Everyone, step aside. I’ll kneel and shout!”

Many cultivators wanted to get in on the fun.

Fang Yingzhuang was immediately displeased.

“How can you all try to take my meal? This is simply shameless!”

To this rebuke, the crowd didn’t take it to heart at all.

In this day and age, who wouldn’t want to benefit from spiritual stones?

All it took were a few apologies, and the stones were in hand.

Could there be anything easier than this in the world?

Watching everyone’s eager expressions, Ye Yu shook his head decisively.

“No, I only want this friend to apologize. No one else can join in.

This is our little game!”

Hearing this, everyone showed disappointed expressions.

But Fang Yingzhuang was quite excited.

“Thank you, big brother, for the opportunity. I’m sorry, really sorry! I deserve to die!”

Unknowingly, Fang Yingzhuang had shifted from calling Ye Yu “friend” to “big brother.”

Their little farce had attracted most people’s attention.

Li Nian’an also found it rather strange.

Though he didn’t understand why Ye Yu was doing this, he didn’t stop it.

Instead, he cast curious glances in their direction.

At this moment, no one noticed that the Jue Tian Mountain Range ahead had quietly changed.

A hill shifted forward nearly a hundred meters.

In the forest behind Ye Yu, dozens of cultivators held their breath and lay in ambush.

The leading demon cultivator frowned, listening to the sounds coming from the front and feeling quite puzzled.

It wasn’t even midnight yet.

Logically, the Second Elder should not have arrived at the designated location.

Why had the signal come through so soon?

That’s right.

The signal for the demon cultivators to act was the phrase, “I’m sorry! I was wrong!”
