That incident was actually orchestrated by Yu Lin who deliberately led Ying Ying there to provoke jealousy.
She wanted to stir Ying Ying's envy toward Xiao Ran, since Ying Ying who is the daughter of the Grand Elder and a Nascent Soul cultivator actively pursuing Jian Li.
By that time, Yu Lin had already realized that Xiao Ran had slipped beyond her control and no longer had romantic feelings for the original male lead Chi Jia.
Instead, she had become ambiguously close with Jian Li.
Moreover, Jian Li was originally one of the male leads Yu Lin knew from the book.
It was just that in Xiao Ran's heart, Chi Jia held the highest position.
She panicked because of this and decided to use the original villainess supporting character to deal with Xiao Ran.
Yu Lin knew very well that Jian Li who is the Holy Sword Sect's honored cultivator deeply disliked Ying Ying's persistent harassment.
