165: A Sword Shocks Jinling

Jin Fengxian lowered her proud head.

Her hand trembled slightly.

Her five fingers loosened.

The Dragon-Entwined Sword, now only a hilt, fell to the ground.

The dead silent scene was like a tomb.

Everyone's heads were like grave mounds.

When the wind blew, the grass on the grave mounds swayed gently, but the mounds themselves remained motionless.

Everyone's faces were like stone, devoid of any emotion, completely frozen.

Some even retained their previous expressions.

The energy sword vanished into thin air.

He silently glanced at the dumbfounded crowd, then turned and walked away with a smile.

Upon returning to his courtyard, he finally burst into laughter, laughing at his own power and at the stunned expressions of that group of people.

Others only saw Yang Yi using the Seven Killing Divine Sword to defeat his enemies, but they did not see Yang Yi's diligent Cultivation behind the scenes.

After this battle, Yang Yi's image within the Jinling Family underwent a drastic change.

Some girls who originally looked down on Yang Yi now felt a subtle shift in their feelings towards him.

While it couldn't be called admiration, they no longer disliked him.

From the depths of their hearts, marrying such a man was not a bad thing.

Because many girls of the Jinling Family, for the sake of the entire Family, would often marry men they did not like.

As for the man's appearance or character, that was even less for them to decide.

A man like Yang Yi, with good looks, powerful strength, and kindness towards women, was already considered very good.

In the following days, Yang Yi would occasionally find beautiful girls passing by his courtyard.

Jin Mu would still bring girls, but the girls' backgrounds were much stronger than those he had brought before.

Yang Yi treated them with courtesy, but he gave them no hope.

Gradually, the girls of the Jinling Family also realized that Yang Yi had high standards, and he wouldn't take just anyone.

On this day, Jin Mu was again taking two girls to see Yang Yi.

On the way, they encountered a dejected Jin Fengxian.

Jin Fengxian stared coldly at Jin Mu and said with a stern face, "I advise you not to bring anyone over anymore."

"Yang Yi doesn't say anything, but don't you think constantly bringing our Family members over will make others look down on us?"

"Does our Jinling Family lack him, this one man?"

"Why be so eager?"

After speaking, she turned and left.

Jin Mu's face turned ashen.

The two girls felt that what Jin Fengxian said made a lot of sense, and they left in shame and anger.

Jin Mu shook his head, knowing that Jin Fengxian had a point.

However, he had already agreed with Yang Yi.

Even if he didn't bring anyone, he still had to inform Yang Yi.

Besides, he had other matters.

When he arrived at Yang Yi's courtyard, Jin Mu was dumbfounded.

Because he saw that, besides Yang Yi, there was another person in the courtyard.

This person was none other than Jin Fengxian, who had just criticized him.

What did this girl mean?

She chased others away, then eagerly came to see Yang Yi herself.

Did she also have such thoughts?

That shouldn't be.

Jin Mu tiptoed to the door and listened intently.

He heard Jin Fengxian say, "As long as you are willing to give me the Purple Moon Divine Bow, I can pay any price."

Yang Yi looked at the crazy woman in front of him, his brows furrowed in worry.

He had just told her that the Purple Moon Divine Bow had already been given to Jin Xiaodie.

It wasn't his property, so he had no right to dispose of it.

Yet, she insisted on asking him for it.

"Sorry."

"The Purple Moon Divine Bow is not mine."

"If you want it, go find its owner."

"Do you think I'm beautiful?"

Jin Fengxian boldly took a step forward, tilting her head slightly to reveal her fair neck.

Yang Yi was startled and took a step back, secretly surprised.

This woman would stop at nothing to achieve her goals, even sacrificing herself.

He couldn't get entangled with her any longer.

If they continued talking like this, she might do something even more drastic, and then it would be impossible to explain.

His eyes suddenly looked towards the doorway and he spotted Jin Mu hiding in the shadows.

He quickly walked towards the door.

"Elder Jin Mu has arrived."

Jin Mu's figure slowly moved from behind the courtyard wall to the doorway, smiling somewhat unnaturally.

"Just arrived."

"What are you two doing here?"

Jin Fengxian snorted coldly and turned to leave.

Yang Yi casually brushed off Jin Mu with a few words.

Seeing that there was no one else behind him, he was a little curious.

"Didn't you say you'd bring someone over?"

Jin Mu sighed, "They're not coming."

"It's not good to keep bothering you."

"I have something to tell you."

"What is it?"

Jin Mu looked around, and after making sure no one was present, he pulled Yang Yi into the courtyard and lowered his voice, saying, "You haven't forgotten the Zhang Familys Young Master, have you?"

"No, I haven't forgotten. Is he in the Jinling Family?"

If Jin Mu hadn't reminded him, Yang Yi would have truly forgotten about this Young Master.

However, this Young Master was truly patient.

Yang Yi had been in the Jinling Family for almost half a month, and he hadn't made a single move.

Yang Yi had planned to eliminate the Zhang Familys Young Master, this hidden danger, before he left.

But since the other party didn't make a move, it was difficult for him to act.

"Is he going to make a move against me?" Yang Yi's eyes held a hint of excitement, which made Jin Mu feel a little apprehensive.

"I heard he invited two masters.

You should be careful.

Oh, and his wife is Jin Qiao'er, you might not know her, but you definitely know his older sister.

His older sister is Jin Yanxi."

Hearing Jin Yanxi's name, Yang Yi felt a headache coming on.

This woman was terrifying.

He had been defeated by her before.

However, it was uncertain who was stronger now.

Previously, Yang Yi's fighting style relied entirely on the Seven Injury Divine Sword.

After abandoning the Seven Injury Divine Sword, Yang Yi's strength was even greater than before.

Jin Mu exhorted Yang Yi to be careful, then shook his head and sighed as he left.

He didn't know whether he was sighing for Yang Yi and the Zhang Familys Young Master's situation or for Jin Fengxian.

Knowing that the Zhang Familys Young Master was going to make a move against him, Yang Yi became much more vigilant even when sleeping.

As he slept that night, a faint sound suddenly came from the rooftop, as if someone was walking on it.

Yang Yi suddenly opened his eyes, his ears twitching slightly.

He heard the sound on the rooftop seem to move further and further away.

Yang Yi froze for a moment, then quickly opened the courtyard gate and looked up at the roof.

A figure leaped from the edge of the roof, landing on the beam of another courtyard.

Then, it leaped again.

In a few leaps, it was already almost out of Yang Yi's sight.

Suddenly, the figure looked back at Yang Yi, then leaped again.

Yang Yi didn't know what the other party wanted to do, but out of curiosity, he still leaped onto the roof beam and chased after them.

The two were one after the other.

The person in front wasn't afraid of Yang Yi catching up, and Yang Yi wasn't afraid of the person in front running away.

The two tacitly maintained a very even speed as they leaped forward.
