As soon as Yuan Ming spoke, he immediately attracted everyone's attention.
Sima Changqin and Young Master Que Yue stopped in their tracks, and the teams from Heavenly Saint Academy and Taixuan Sect also came to a halt.
Nan Shangfeng also showed a look of confusion as he gazed at Yuan Ming.
"What do you mean by this?" Xizhuang Yuan raised an eyebrow and asked, with a hint of displeasure in his tone.
"Xi Ying is my Daoist companion, she cannot go with you." Yuan Ming's tone was firm, and he was unwavering.
Upon hearing these words, Sima Changqin's eyes flickered, while Young Master Que Yue's face darkened, jealousy flashing in his eyes.
The people from Evergreen Island and the Puppet Immortal also stopped in their tracks, looking curious, wanting to see what would unfold.
"Xi Ying is a disciple of Bright Moon Palace and should naturally act according to her sect. You say she is your Daoist companion, does that make it so?" Xizhuang Yuan sneered, looking at Xi Ying.
