This statement was spoken.

Xu Pingzhi himself wanted to slap himself hard several times.

Passing by?

He called himself out for coming up with such a lame excuse!

With these words, he couldn't stay in the Ice Sect anymore and had to leave.

When he got back, his master was definitely going to give him a good scolding.

But for some reason, the thought of not having to endure Wang Ye's enthusiasm anymore and just facing his master's simple reprimand made Xu Pingzhi feel a bit relieved.

Kind of... not bad?

Rather than facing the overwhelming friendliness of Wang Ye here, it was much easier to lower his head and respond when his master scolded him.

Much simpler!

"Yes, we were just passing by..."

Xu Pingzhi explained at length and finally broke free from Wang Ye's "enthusiasm" and left.

Only the Ice Sect disciples were left, unable to hold back their laughter.

And as they laughed, the Ice Sect disciples began to look at Wang Ye with strange eyes.

Did Wang Ye... just send Xu Pingzhi away like that?

So easily?

There wasn't even any real scolding or fight; Xu Pingzhi just left.

And when Xu Pingzhi left, it was almost like he was escaping.

He wished he'd never come here again and never encounter Wang Ye.

The female disciples of the Ice Sect looked at Wang Ye with newfound admiration.

With just words, he managed to chase someone away.

And that someone bore a much higher level of cultivation than them.

"Prince Wang, you're incredible. Just a few words and Xu Pingzhi fled in fear."

"Just now, I could see from Xu Pingzhi's expression that he probably never wants to set foot in the Ice Sect again."

"Before, when I read in history books about commanders who defeated enemies with persuasive words and even caused retreat of entire armies, I doubted it was exaggerated. But witnessing Prince Wang's performance today, I realized it wasn't an exaggeration; it's indeed the truth."

Wang Ye's performance, while surprising them, also changed their perceptions.

Previously, the Ice Sect disciples never thought there could be a way of solving problems without resorting to violence, just by speaking a few words.

Lin Shuang quietly scrutinized Wang Ye.

If Wang Ye, when people from the Spirit Star invade Earth Star in the future, could also resolve things with just a few words...

This thought had just sprung up in Lin Shuang's mind before she immediately dismissed it.

Impossible.

Those invaders wouldn't play along with Wang Ye, let alone stick around to exchange idle chatter.

If Wang Ye really affected them, they'd probably eliminate Wang Ye outright.

Sighing softly.

Lin Shuang's face was still cold but bore a proud expression as she addressed Wang Ye:

"Prince Wang, you truly have a golden tongue; a few words and the enemy is driven away."

As these words came out.

All the Ice Sect disciples behind fell silent.

They gazed at Lin Shuang with stunned expressions.

It was known that Lin Shuang had never praised anyone before.

Even if she did praise someone, it would only be along the lines of "not bad" or "okay."

Now, to compliment someone and with so many words, it was truly a first for Lin Shuang.

The dynamics between Lin Shuang and Prince Wang...

The Ice Sect, being all women, were naturally the most gossip-prone creatures in the world.

Having caught onto some useful information, they started gossiping instantly.

Each transmitted telepathic messages to one another:

"Did you notice? Lin Shuang and Prince Wang certainly have something going on!"

"Yes, before Prince Wang came, Lin Shuang never smiled. Now she not only smiles but has more expressions on her face."

"Also, when Prince Wang and Xu Pingzhi were standing against each other, Lin Shuang was always worriedly watching Wang Ye, afraid something might happen to him."

They communicated telepathically.

But Lin Shuang's power and cultivation level exceeded theirs by quite a margin.

When they communicated in smaller numbers, Lin Shuang couldn't detect anything.

However, because all the Ice Sect disciples were discussing this matter at once, it caused some leakage as their Divine Senses clashed.

Moreover, Lin Shuang's superior strength allowed her to hear these conversations distinctly.

Immediately, a blush appeared on Lin Shuang's face.

Just at that moment, Wang Ye glanced over at Lin Shuang.

Seeing Lin Shuang's reddened cheeks, Wang Ye's previously smiling eyes suddenly turned serious:

"Senior Sister Lin, are you hiding something from us?"

"Hmm?"

Wang Ye's words not only made Lin Shuang but also the Ice Sect disciples behind focus their attention on her, filled with curiosity.

Lin Shuang... hiding something from them?

What might it be?

And how did Wang Ye even notice?

Their curiosity, which had started to burn a while ago, flared up even more intensely.

"I don't have anything!"

Lin Shuang responded somewhat blankly.

But whether it was Wang Ye's unrelenting gaze or the fact that Lin Shuang had developed some feelings for Wang Ye she hadn't disclosed, Lin Shuang indeed felt a bit guilty.

This led to Wang Ye's conviction growing stronger:

"Admit it, Senior Sister Lin!"

Wang Ye's voice was earnest.

Lin Shuang's heart skipped a beat.

Could it be that Wang Ye had discerned her feelings for him?

And now he was pushing her to confess them outright?

This made Lin Shuang's gaze towards Wang Ye turn slightly resentful.

Despite always being on the mountain, Lin Shuang had heard of cultivators courting their partners, with men pursuing women, eventually forming a couple.

Moreover.

Right in front of so many people.

Imagining herself confessing to Wang Ye in public, before so many sect disciples, made the blush on Lin Shuang's cheeks deepen.

But after a moment of thought about how Meng Qian proactively pursued Wang Yifeng, causing such a stir that almost all cultivators on Spirit Star knew about it.

Lin Shuang felt it wasn't such a big deal.

Lin Shuang took a deep breath.

Just when Lin Shuang was firming up her decision.

Wang Ye's voice rang out again.
