I only want to win over the fairy.

His mother had taken him all the way from Fenglin Continent to Zhongzhou to have him join the Xuantian Sect, probably hoping that he would become a disciple of the current emperor.

Although she had no interest in becoming someone else's disciple, and didn't care about the Emperor's guidance, she would obediently comply with her mother's wishes, albeit somewhat strangely.

After all, besides Aunt Bai, his mother had no other friends. If even he didn't listen to her, she would probably be so indignant that she would roll on the ground in despair. It was quite pitiful to think about.

Bai Yi watched the girl's departing figure, lost in thought.

As a cultivator, especially one who is proficient in the power of reincarnation, he is quite sensitive to beings related to him by blood. Therefore, he is certain that the girl, Yu Gongyi, is his child. There is no such thing as not recognizing one's own child in a melodramatic plot, or father and daughter turning against each other due to misunderstandings.

The problem is, why doesn't he remember anything that happened between him and Hanamiya Hana?

He carefully recalled the memories in his mind, but could not find any trace of a relationship between him and Yu Gonghua that they knew each other intimately. If that did not exist, where did this child come from?

I don't understand at all.

Let's follow that child for a bit and investigate.

Believing this matter should not be made public, you secretly follow Yuu Miyako, intending to investigate her thoroughly, as well as ascertain her family situation, and ideally, find her mother for a face-to-face conversation.

[You used your connections to secure very favorable treatment and accommodation for Yuu Miyako.]

At first, you were worried about the other person living alone, fearing that they were too young to take care of themselves. However, after observing them for a while, you found that Yu Gongyi did everything perfectly, from cooking and cleaning to laundry. This reassured you and reminded you of your past self, who also always did everything perfectly when taking care of Master Xiao Jinxuan.

[You suspect that Hanamichi Hana may have become unable to live independently over the years, requiring her daughter to care for her to survive.]

[To give this child more attention, you delegated all your tasks to the Heavenly Dao, letting it handle them for you, while you frequently wandered around the areas where your disciples were. To make yourself seem less suspicious, you started actively accepting tasks from the sect.]

[Initially, you trusted Yuu Miyako quite a bit, believing that although she was young, her abilities and life skills were excellent, enough to take care of herself, until you saw how she interacted with her peers.]

—The residence of outer disciples of the Xuantian Sect.

As usual, Yu Gongyi got up early, folded the quilt, dressed neatly, fetched water, and began to wash up and eat. After doing all this, she began her daily cultivation routine.

Cultivation was an ingrained habit for her, and only by persisting in training every day could she become stronger.

When she first arrived at the Xuantian Sect, she was unfamiliar with the place and had no one to talk to, so cultivation was the only thing she could do.

Time passed slowly, and suddenly she heard a knock on the door. When she opened the door, she found a blue-haired girl standing nervously at the door with a food box in her hand. She remembered the girl; she was the one she had saved earlier, and the girl had visited her several times recently.

What brings you here?

"Um...I...I wanted to express my gratitude for what happened before..." Qi Lian greeted Yu Gongyi timidly.

"You're welcome. So, is there anything else?"

"My...my sister made lunch for me, so...so I wanted to eat with you." Qi Lian held up the food box in her hand. To boost her confidence, she specifically mentioned her sister's identity: "My sister is an inner disciple of the Xuan Tian Sect, she's very powerful."

When she talked about her sister, she straightened up, seemingly quite proud of her.

"Lunch? Interesting, come in."

Yu Gongyi is very interested in food. Nothing brings her more joy than eating. Although she is not human, as long as she does not deliberately reveal it, basically no one can tell that she is not human.

Having received permission, Qi Lian happily carried in a food box filled with dishes, then carefully placed the steaming food onto the table, and sat down expectantly to await Yu Gongyi's comments.

With a blank expression, Yu Gongyi picked up a piece of stewed meat, put it in her mouth, chewed and swallowed it, and gave her evaluation: "10 points! Absolutely unacceptable."

Qi Lian: "...."

Ignoring Qi Lian's aggrieved expression, which was almost bringing her to tears, Yu Gongyi continued to taste the remaining dishes, then rejected them one by one. In her opinion, none of these dishes were up to standard. The person who cooked them was simply cooking for the sake of cooking, without any emotion whatsoever. Besides, the taste of these dishes was really mediocre.

Qi Lian was heartbroken, completely unprepared for this outcome. These dishes weren't made by her sister at all; she had made them herself according to the recipe. Yet, she received such a poor evaluation. Fortunately, she knew it was her first time making them and she couldn't possibly do them perfectly. So, after a brief moment of sadness, she cheered up again.

To get closer to her, she started looking for common topics: "Yu Gong is really amazing. You're the same age as me, but you're so strong. If I were as strong as you, you would definitely look at me with new respect."

"That's impossible." Upon hearing this, Yu Gongyi said without any politeness, "You can't be as strong as me now, and you'll never be able to in the future. Besides, you're only trying to become stronger so that your sister will look at you with new eyes. Your yearning will only make you further and further away from your sister. You don't understand why you want to become stronger, so you'll never become stronger no matter what."

With just a few words, Qi Lian broke down on the spot. Yu Gongyi's words had caused great harm to her young heart. Unable to bear such a blow, tears welled up in her eyes, and she stormed out without looking back.

Bai Yi, who was watching all of this, was speechless.

Who taught you such excellent speaking skills?!

He felt it was absolutely impossible for her to have learned it from him. After all, no matter how low his emotional intelligence was, he wouldn't say such a thing. It must be that Yu Gonghua didn't teach her child well!

Chapter 118 The Scoundrel Who Bullies His Daughter

Half a month has passed since we arrived at the Xuantian Sect, and spring has arrived, bringing with it a vibrant and prosperous world. However, this beautiful scenery does not belong to everyone.

As night fell, Yu Gongyi gazed at the withered flowers on the windowsill, her expression slightly forlorn and lonely.

"It's already...withered."

To this day, she still has no friends.

Since that incident, Qi Lian has never come to see her again. Instead, Qi Lian's older sister came to find her and questioned her about why she made her sister cry. She honestly explained the whole story. After hearing her story, Qi Lian's older sister became angry and challenged her to a duel. So she used all her strength to send Qi Lian to Danfeng to recuperate.

From then on, everyone avoided him from a distance.

Clearly, she was ostracized.

This left her feeling lost. She had simply told Qi Lian the truth about her question. Qi Lian was just blindly following in her sister's footsteps, cultivating with only a half-baked understanding. Let alone catching up with her or impressing her sister, she was lucky if she didn't stagnate or even regress. Because if such understanding were to be challenged, her Dao heart would easily collapse.

He gave his all in responding to Qi Lian's challenge to a duel, showing no mercy just because she was Qi Lian's sister, nor underestimating her because she was weaker than him. He gave her the utmost respect, which was entirely in line with the concept of a duel.

But after those two incidents, no one wanted to associate with him anymore.

Especially when she personally prepared a lunch and invited Qi Lian to eat with her, the other party looked at her as if she had seen a wolf, her face was extremely pale, and she sat down to eat with her as if she had been forced. When she asked Qi Lian to give the carefully prepared medicine to treat her injuries to the other party's sister, the other party angrily dumped the food on her head.

Was she wrong?

She was lost.

Not knowing what to do to alleviate her confusion, she went out and wandered aimlessly along the secluded and deserted paths within the sect.

She stopped after walking for a short while because she realized that there were other people on the road besides herself.

She recognized the person; it was the one who had saved Qi Lian with her before.

She was deeply impressed by the other party; he was incredibly strong, so strong that she couldn't sense his presence at all, and they were on completely different levels. However, she didn't dislike him because his aura was gentle, and just hearing his voice calmed the boiling flames and blood within her.

"It's you. Nice to see you again."

Yu Gongyi greeted Bai Yi naturally, as if the two were longtime friends.

"You seem to be in a bad mood, young lady. Is something bothering you?"

Bai Yi was still thinking about how to meet the other party, but before he could finish thinking, the other party came to him on his own. Is this what they call fate?

But it doesn't matter, we'll meet again sooner or later.

One of the greatest benefits of simulators is that they allow people to experiment and make mistakes. If you don't dare to be bold in a simulator, how can you possibly do something in real life that involves giving up everything just to achieve a perfect ending?

“I just encountered some things that I didn’t know what to do.” Yu Gongyi walked over and sat on the grass next to Bai Yi, looking up at the full moon in the sky: “If one day you were doing what you thought was right, but it caused your friends to become distant or even hostile towards you, what would you do?”

"Who knows about such things?" These kinds of questions are often difficult to answer correctly, so Bai Yi didn't know the answer either. However, if he were just asked to drive Yu Gongyi, he would answer like this: "But since you believe that what you are doing is right, then just follow your own ideas and do what you think is right."

"Even if it caused bad results?" Yu Gongyi didn't quite understand.

Bai Yi chuckled: "The sun is great not only because it can illuminate even dust, but also because it can burn away anything that cannot stand shoulder to shoulder with it. As long as you have the heart to illuminate the dust, what does it matter if some people are burned?"

If Yu Gongyi were simply self-centered and arrogant, Bai Yi would naturally try to teach her humility. However, she is not a simple arrogance, but a sun with a gentle heart. It's just that this sun is still young and cannot control its brilliance.

It is foolish to stifle someone's nature and characteristics, making them blend into the crowd.

The sun is already dazzling, yet some people want it to be like the moon, hiding its light, becoming accepting and embracing everything, and ultimately losing its brilliance. The result of such forced transformation is that the sun no longer burns, but is it still the sun itself?

“The sun…?” Yu Gongyi looked down at her hands. She had known since birth that she was a phoenix, a being that could stand shoulder to shoulder with the sun. So she always believed that she should be like the sun, but she herself caused pain to others.

Especially when Qi Lian stared at her with angry eyes, she truly began to waver in her resolve.

These days, it seems like there's always a voice in her heart telling her to suppress her flames, suppress her nature, and give up the power of being a phoenix and the sun, only then will she not harm others.

"This little guy is surprisingly mature. When I was your age, I was still raiding bird nests and playing in the mud." Seeing that Yu Gongyi was still confused, Bai Yi's handsome face showed a hint of helplessness, but the next moment, the helplessness turned into joy.

He held up one finger and suggested, "How about this, let's play a game where the game involves doing what you think you're best at, how about that?"

"How interesting! I accept!" Yu Gongyi gladly accepted the challenge that had been posed to her.

How could she possibly refuse to fight back when her opponent dared to launch such a reckless attack on her area of ​​expertise?

"You're really confident. What if you lose?" Based on his observations over the past few days, Bai Yi has figured out how to get along with Yu Gongyi. She is a very confident person who is not afraid of any challenge and finds some challenges aimed at her quite interesting. Even if there is no reward, she will accept them without hesitation.

"That's impossible. There's nothing in this world that I'm not good at. I won't lose!"

Yu Gongyi stared confidently into Bai Yi's eyes: "However, since you specifically asked, if I lose, I will let you do whatever you want with me."

"Your courage is commendable, then I won't hold back."

Chapter 119 Your Daughter is So Good (6K)

Yu Gongyi confidently accepted Bai Yi's challenge.

The conditions she set for the duel were very simple: cooking!

Because her mother and Aunt Bai Ze were both like useless people, one thought that she could live by eating grass, flowers and wild fruits, and the other was always slacking off and would say that cooking was for despicable winners with a future, and that a useless person like her could only eat roadside weeds and stay in this broken place to rot and die.

To take care of her two elders, she has been taking on all the household chores since she was one year old.

It sounds absurd, how could a one-year-old child do so much? But for Phoenix, awakening her bloodline is equivalent to adulthood, and unfortunately, she had already awakened it when she was one year old.

Before long, with the ingredients provided by Bai Yi, she made a delicious and flavorful chicken soup, while Bai Yi only made a bowl of plain noodles that had no color and looked unappetizing.

"Is that your cooking? With that level of skill, you can't even compare to my toes, let alone beat me!"

Looking at Bai Yi's obviously subpar noodles, Yu Gongyi was slightly disappointed. She should have chosen a different competition event; at least that way, the opponent wouldn't have lost so badly.

Or it would be better to fight at the same level, in which case the opponent, with a level far exceeding one's own, might have a chance to defeat one.

"Don't jump to conclusions so quickly. Food is meant to be tasted with your mouth, not your eyes. If you excessively pursue the visual impact and desire that food brings, it will ruin its original flavor. The same goes for people." Bai Yi casually placed the noodles he had made in front of Yu Gongyi, then took out chopsticks, placed them on the bowl, and gestured for her to taste them.

Upon hearing this, Yu Gongyi's expression became slightly serious.

This guy doesn't seem like an ordinary person, in every sense of the word.

She skillfully picked up the noodles with her chopsticks and put the unappetizing plain noodles into her mouth.

She froze the moment she took a bite, then wolfed it all down.

"Perfect! This bowl of noodles contains your heartfelt sentiment, the sentiment of being willing to cook for someone."
