She was beautiful, and a maid was holding an umbrella for her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A crowd of Weiyuan Hall disciples entering and leaving couldn't help but take a look when passing near her before entering the hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What a beautiful young lady. I wonder who is so heartless to let such a beauty wait in the wind and snow,\" Wu Yongfeng sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't talk nonsense. Perhaps she’s a family member of some senior brother in the inner courtyard.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Yang laughed and strode toward the Weiyuan Hall with Wu Yongfeng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unexpectedly, when the two approached the woman, her gaze suddenly fell on Xu Yang: \"Are you Xu Yang?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Yongfeng: ...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The heartless person he spoke of was actually Xu Yang beside him? This guy was even pretending with him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Yang was also stunned; he hadn't expected this woman to be waiting specifically for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He immediately cupped his hands and said: \"I am indeed Xu Yang. May I ask...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by the woman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The woman said loudly: \"Xu Yang, don't you dare think of a toad wanting to eat swan meat! This young lady will never marry you. I, Huang Linger, don't think much of someone like you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Yang: ...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Yang was a bit dazed. Damn it, where did this crazy woman come from? He didn't know her at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huang Linger?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked up again, only to see the woman who called herself Huang Linger striding away after finishing her sentence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Miss, please explain yourself before leaving,\" Xu Yang shouted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huang Linger walked even faster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Miss, Xu Yang clearly didn't agree to the marriage. By doing this, aren't you ruining the friendship between him and the Huang family?\" the maid holding the umbrella asked worriedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huang Linger snorted coldly: \"I am restoring the Huang family’s reputation. I really don't know what Father and the others are thinking, actually wanting to use me to marry someone like this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A mud-legged person who only crawled out of the mire because of the Huang family’s promotion, yet he dared to refuse me twice. Although I don't think much of him either, it was Father and the others’ arrangement.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But if there is to be a refusal, it should be me refusing him. What is he? On such a snowy day, he doesn't even have a fur coat.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saying this, she was the first to get into the carriage by the road and then left quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Junior Brother Xu, who is that girl? How did you pester her to make her come to the Weiyuan Hall to cause a scene?\" Wu Yongfeng asked curiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don't know her at all!\" Xu Yang said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But no one believed his words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Yongfeng didn't believe it, and the surrounding Weiyuan Hall disciples didn't believe it either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you don't know her, how could she run to the Weiyuan Hall to reject you and tell you not to pester her?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The woman’s attire clearly showed she was a young lady from a wealthy family. It must be that Xu Yang had failed to climb the social ladder and was being specifically humiliated by this woman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Senior Brother Xu, Huang Linger is the daughter of the Huang family’s Second Master, Huang Ping,\" someone reminded Xu Yang from the side.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Now, even fewer people believed him. You were cultivated by the Huang family to enter the Weiyuan Hall; how could you not know the daughter of the Huang family?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huang Linger, the daughter of the Huang family’s Second Master?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Yang pondered slightly and soon understood that this Huang Linger was probably the woman the Huang family intended to marry him off to.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had clearly refused last night, and he didn't know what had gone wrong in the middle to make this woman think he wanted to marry her and come here to humiliate him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was also possible that his two refusals had made this young lady angry from embarrassment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In any case, it was hard for him to explain. After all, he had received favors from the Huang family and had refused them twice. If he stood up to explain, it would be a slap in the face to the Huang family, and his uncle would be in a difficult position in the Huang family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, he didn't care about these things. Whether he refused Huang Linger or Huang Linger refused him didn't matter. If the Huang family thought this could save some face, he was happy to oblige.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But soon, Xu Yang discovered he had underestimated Huang Linger. He thought Huang Linger was just trying to find psychological balance by turning his refusal into her refusing him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The matter was far from that simple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huang Linger had long since arranged people in the Weiyuan Hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not long after Huang Linger left, rumors about him and Huang Linger began to spread in the Weiyuan Hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was said that after Lu Ren left the Huang family, he thought the Huang family needed him again, so he sent word to the Huang family through his uncle Zhou Shunchang that as long as they married Huang Linger to him, he would leave the Liu family and become an offering for the Huang family. Unexpectedly, Huang Linger didn't think much of him at all, so she specifically ran to the Weiyuan Hall to reject him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, the way many people in the inner courtyard looked at him changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some felt he was unprincipled, actually making such an excessive request while Lu Ren was betraying the Huang family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Others felt he was overestimating his abilities, only having C-minus grade bones, yet having the face to make such conditions to the Huang family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He finally got a wake-up call after hitting a wall, but it’s too late.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ping believed that Xu Yang realized the importance of having a powerful backer and regretted not marrying into the Liu family, so he set his sights on the Huang family, which had lost Lu Ren, only to be rejected by them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thinking the Huang family would look at him without me? Simply naive,\" Lu Ren laughed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Huang family liked to win big with small stakes; even if Xu Yang had some talent, it was impossible for them to spend a large amount of resources to cultivate him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This can be considered my repayment to the Huang family.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Yang didn't intend to explain this matter; he planned to fulfill the Huang family’s reputation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't care about this kind of reputation. Whether the Huang family actively sought him out and was refused by him, or he sought the Huang family for marriage and was refused, it was all the same to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't care about his reputation, but he couldn't take Huang Linger’s humiliation for nothing. He could choose not to explain and fulfill Huang Linger and the Huang family’s reputation, but he would treat this matter as having repaid the Huang family’s kindness, and from then on, he would have no more dealings with them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Seeing his face is disgusting. Being ungrateful and still having the face to show off. Senior Brother Xu just wants to get ahead; that’s human nature,\" Qiu Wenjie said indignantly, looking at Lu Ren’s face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Yang: ...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Qiu Wenjie thought he had actively sought out the Huang family. I’m afraid that even if he explained, few people would believe that the Huang family had actively sought him out for marriage twice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yong frowned and said: \"How could the Gu family want someone like Lu Ren? Aren't they afraid of being betrayed one day?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was still somewhat puzzled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Ren had talent, but for someone who didn't understand gratitude, no matter how good the talent, he would eventually betray them again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Hong said: \"It is said that it’s for the Martial Arts Examination. The Gu family’s eldest young master is ambitious to achieve a ranking, so he spared no expense to befriend geniuses in various martial arts schools. Otherwise, how could a young lady with the status of Senior Sister Gu Fang come to the Weiyuan Hall to apprentice?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Yongfeng nodded: \"That’s it. If it’s for the Martial Arts Examination, then it makes sense. The Gu family doesn't need Lu Ren’s loyalty for a lifetime. With Lu Ren’s talent, he will leave Qingyuan sooner or later and couldn't possibly serve the Gu family for a lifetime.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiu Wenjie was still puzzled and said: \"But it’s just the title of a Martial Licentiate. Is it that important?\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1525,"2026-06-16T12:13:30.304Z","2026-06-16T12:23:14.066Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","948f556819d2ebe4627cb90510ddfcbc4a05dca3da4a1f613fc4b7bb4e9d54b0","starting-with-the-diamond-exercise-to-achieve-sa-chapter-48","starting-with-the-diamond-exercise-to-achieve-sa-chapter-46",410,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fstarting-with-the-diamond-exercise-to-achieve-sa-cover.jpg"]
