184: One is willing to fight and the other is willing to be beaten

“Senior Martial Uncle, please come in quickly.”

Liu Ruyi opened the formation and enthusiastically invited Lin Xuan in.

Her delicate little face broke into a brilliant smile, but the warmth didn't reach her eyes.

“Hmm!”

Lin Xuan heard this and looked at her in surprise.

It wasn't that he hadn't suggested entering Starlight Peak before, but he had always been refused for various reasons.

Why was Liu Ruyi inviting him in today?

Had Liu Ruyi finally had a change of heart?

Thinking of this, Lin Xuan gave a faint hum and nodded slightly in relief.

Giving those four so many treasures hadn't been in vain after all; they were finally on his side.

In other words, the four of them intended to accept him and were willing to join his sect!?

As soon as he thought of taking all four of them as disciples, Lin Xuan's expression became agitated, unable to contain himself.

After all, the four of them were peerless prodigies with seven, eight, and nine-star talents.

Their talent and luck were even higher than the five disciples he had taken before.

Moreover, the four of them were as beautiful as celestial beings, each with their own unique charm, and just looking at them every day would make one feel happy.

Thinking of the beautiful life ahead, Lin Xuan's lips couldn't help but curl into a lingering smile.

However, as he stepped into the main hall, Lin Xuan's lingering smile instantly froze on his face.

He saw Luo Rou with tears welling in her eyes, looking like she was about to cry.

She was staring at him with a look of hatred.

And Zhi Meng.

How could Zhi Meng be here?

“Lin Xuan, why did you abduct my disciple?” Luo Rou demanded angrily.

If Xiao Hongdou hadn't shown her the recording stone, she wouldn't have believed that Lin Xuan would do such a despicable thing.

One must know that the relationship between master and disciple in the cultivation world was even more important than blood relatives.

After all, countless years of effort were spent cultivating them, seeing them as inheritors of one's legacy, and also as a reliant companion.

To cultivate Lin Chuqing, she had used an unknown number of natural treasures.

She tirelessly guarded Lin Chuqing's growth day and night, and the hardships involved were not for outsiders to know.

As a result, she had finally managed to cultivate Lin Chuqing to the King Realm.

Lin Xuan directly reaped the fruits of her victory.

The more Luo Rou thought about it, the more resentful she became; she had never wanted to kill someone as much as she did at this moment.

“Rou'er, I didn't, listen to my explanation...”

Seeing this, Lin Xuan completely panicked.

He only wanted Lin Chuqing to have an additional master, but he never intended for Lin Chuqing to sever ties with Luo Rou.

“No need to explain, from this life onwards, you and I are irreconcilable.” Luo Rou interrupted him, her expression resolute.

No matter what difficulties Lin Xuan had, that was no reason for Lin Xuan to cut off her legacy.

Her Secluded Immortal Palace was not to be trifled with either.

There were several Divine Fire Realm ancestors who regarded Lin Chuqing as a treasure.

She had already sent a message to the ancestors.

Lin Xuan was completely numb.

He stared blankly at Luo Rou, unable to believe that Luo Rou, who had always loved him deeply, would sever ties with him and become enemies because of Lin Chuqing.

She had changed.

He felt that Luo Rou had changed.

The old Luo Rou was gentle, quiet, and understanding.

No matter what he did, she would support him unconditionally without hesitation.

Seeing this, Xiao Hongdou immediately jumped out and pointed at Lin Xuan.

“Senior Martial Uncle, it's not me talking about you, but with your Divine Fire Realm cultivation, what kind of disciple can't you get?”

“Why must you cut off Sister Rou's legacy?”

“You've also had disciples before, don't you know that disciples are like children?”

“Put yourself in her shoes, if someone snatched your child, would you agree?”

“Also, Senior Martial Uncle, you're too shameless; you actually fantasized about taking all four of us as disciples, do you have any shame? Do you have a face? Are you even human?”

“You're simply insane, you're worse than a beast...”

Xiao Hongdou looked heartbroken, her little mouth chattering like a machine gun, non-stop.

She utterly loathed scum like Lin Xuan who were scummy without realizing it.

Xiao Hongdou didn't believe that Lin Xuan didn't know how much harm breaking off the engagement with Luo Rou to marry Zhi Meng would cause Luo Rou.

Knowing this, Lin Xuan still did it without hesitation, and even euphemistically called it 'only treating Luo Rou as a younger sister.'

What a load of rubbish about a younger sister.

He was clearly using the name of a younger sister to play a Platonic love game.

Lin Xuan: “...”

Although, what you said, Hongdou, makes sense.

But when he took his treasures, why didn't his hands soften?

Lin Xuan's dream of taking disciples was completely shattered, and his mentality exploded.

His expression twisted, and he looked at Xiao Hongdou with a sinister gaze.

By now, how could Lin Xuan not know that he had been tricked again and again?

Falling into the same trap repeatedly.

What was even more outrageous was that Xiao Hongdou demanded treasures from him while still calling him worse than a beast.

There was simply no justice in this world.

“You, you all are very good.”

Conspiring together to deceive his feelings and his treasures.

Truly very good.

Lin Xuan was furious to the point of madness.

“Hehe, we are indeed very good, and we owe it all to the treasures Senior Martial Uncle gave us. Thank you, Senior Martial Uncle, for your generous contribution.” Xiao Hongdou chuckled.

She felt a little regretful inside.

Actually, she still wanted to fleece Lin Xuan a bit more.

However, Lin Xuan's treasury was at the bottom, with only his most prized possessions left, which Lin Xuan wouldn't possibly give her.

Instead of waiting for Lin Xuan to slowly realize, it was better to strike first.

As for whether doing this would cause Lin Xuan to kill her in a fit of rage.

Xiao Hongdou wasn't worried at all.

Because Zhi Meng had already decided to kill Lin Xuan.

Even if Zhi Meng couldn't kill Lin Xuan, weren't there still the ancestors of the Star God Temple?

She didn't believe Lin Xuan could withstand the Star God Temple's encirclement and killing.

“You...”

“Pfft...”

Lin Xuan was so angry he coughed up blood, and then he really did cough up blood.

That was his century's worth of accumulation.

Of course, treasures and such, if they were gone, they were gone.

What Lin Xuan couldn't accept was that he had been deceived.

He, a dignified Divine Fire Realm expert, was tricked and played like a monkey by a few ants.

Resentment, shame, and fury surged in his heart, making Lin Xuan wish he could explode on the spot.

“Senior Martial Uncle, getting too angry harms your health. If there's anything you can't get over, tell us about it and let everyone have a good laugh.”

Smiles don't disappear; they just transfer to other people's faces.

The more Lin Xuan suffered, the happier Xiao Hongdou became.

Xiao Hongdou's delicate little face broke into a brilliant smile, her voice clear and melodious.

It echoed through the vast and magnificent hall.

Everyone in the hall looked at each other.

Zhi Meng's proud and cold expression cracked inch by inch.

Luo Rou also stopped her tears, staring blankly at Xiao Hongdou.

Lin Chuqing's eyelids twitched.

Liu Ruyan and her sister exchanged glances.

Although Xiao Hongdou's words resonated with them, making them feel incredibly refreshed.

However, if they hadn't witnessed it with their own eyes, they truly wouldn't have believed that someone with a body temperature of 37 degrees Celsius could say such chilling words.

It was simply killing and condemning the heart.

Lin Xuan had even coughed up blood.

“Xiao Hongdou...”

Lin Xuan roared, his hair standing on end in fury, his eyes a crimson red, as if containing a sea of blood, terrifying beyond compare.

“Where exactly did I wrong you all? Why did you conspire against me?”

He couldn't understand, he truly couldn't understand.

He taught the four of them cultivation methods and gave them various supreme treasures.

Yet, the four of them repaid kindness with enmity.

Were they even human?

“Does Senior Martial Uncle know who she is?”

Xiao Hongdou pointed at Lin Chuqing, answering with a question, her eyes playful.

“Who?”

“Isn't Chu Qing Rou'er's disciple?”

Lin Xuan's heart skipped a beat, and an ominous premonition rose within him for no reason.

“She, Lin Chuqing, is Gu Qing's childhood sweetheart, and also his fiancée.”

“Pfft!”

Idiot.

I'm a big idiot, truly.

Lin Xuan coughed up blood.

He never expected things to turn out this way.

Damn it, who could have imagined that in the vast sea of people, he would actually encounter Gu Qing's fiancée?

Lin Xuan was filled with hatred.

If he could start over, he would definitely investigate Lin Chuqing's identity and background thoroughly.

“What about those two?”

Lin Xuan pointed at the Liu Ruyan sisters, his expression revealing a tension he himself hadn't noticed.

He kept praying in his heart, please don't let them be Gu Qing's fiancée or confidantes again.

He would go crazy.

He couldn't help but go mad.

Bai Suying and Su Qingyue were already stunning enough, incomparably beautiful.

They were goddesses beyond the reach of countless people.

But both of them were Gu Qing's Dao Companions.

Now came an even more stunning Lin Chuqing, and if even the Liu Ruyan sisters were also...

Lin Xuan would be so jealous he'd undergo plasmolysis.

“They are not.”

“Whew!”

“However...”

“...”

“However what? Speak quickly?”

Seeing Xiao Hongdou twirling her index finger and thumb, Lin Xuan was frantic. Damn it, what time was it, and she was still so obsessed with money?

Were you damn poor to death in your last life?

“Here, here, take it all.”

If he couldn't know the answer, Lin Xuan would want to punch himself to death.

“Hehe, Senior Martial Uncle is generous.”

Xiao Hongdou's little heart pounded; with just a few words, she had obtained a complete piece of divine iron. The Star God Temple was indeed her, Xiao Hongdou's, blessed land.

It was right that she, Xiao Hongdou, should get rich.

“Liu Ruyan was brought out of the deep mountains by Gu Qing; he had the kindness of recognizing her talent, understand?”

“Understood.”

Lin Xuan put on a mask of pain.

What kind of heaven-defying luck did he have?

The disciples he wanted to take were all greatly related to Gu Qing.

Falling into the hands of Gu Qing's women again and again.

“What about you?” Lin Xuan seemed to grasp at a last straw, staring intently at Xiao Hongdou, his voice hoarse.

“Me? As you can see, I am his junior sister.” Xiao Hongdou said.

“Whew!”

Finally, there's one... no, Xiao Hongdou was Gu Qing's father-in-law's disciple, wasn't she?

Even if she wasn't close to Gu Qing now, she would definitely be charmed by that pretty boy Gu Qing in the future.

Perhaps Xiao Hongdou had already been charmed by Gu Qing's face and secretly given her heart to him.

Thinking of this, Lin Xuan collapsed.

As a man, he couldn't accept one thing: Gu Qing possessing so many proud daughters of heaven.

Lin Xuan gasped for breath, and it took him a while to regain his sanity.

He looked at Luo Rou, giving a self-mocking bitter smile: “Rou'er, you heard it all, didn't you? I was conspired against by them; it wasn't that I wanted to snatch your disciple.”

Losing four proud daughters of heaven was certainly regrettable, but Luo Rou was the younger sister he owed a lifetime to.

If Luo Rou also turned against him, Lin Xuan felt a pang of heartache just thinking about it.

Lin Xuan had vowed to spend his life making up for his debt to Luo Rou and helping her avenge her clan's destruction.

He hadn't killed Zhi Meng yet, so he couldn't let Luo Rou misunderstand.

“Heh, Senior Martial Uncle, the way you put it, if you hadn't harbored ill intentions, how could we have seen your true colors?” Xiao Hongdou sneered.

“What do you mean?” Lin Xuan was completely numb.

He was tricked, and it was all his fault?

Was there still law? Was there still justice?

“Literally, one is willing to hit, and the other is willing to take it. Senior Martial Uncle wouldn't be a sore loser, would he? No way, no way, no way...”
