Stealing the Heavens.

Isn't Chapter 33 just acting?
"Junior Sister Xinyu, why don't you just reject Li Kunlun?" Zi Dong didn't want to play the game of jealousy and rivalry.

Zhou Yunting did not provide detailed instructions in the jade slip, only telling Zi Dong to defeat Li Kunlun and prevent him from marrying Zhou Xinyu.

"Li Kunlun is a member of the Feng family. Your master's intention is that he wants to marry me in order to secure your master's position as the sect leader for the Feng family!"

Zhou Xinyu was seething with hatred. She had become a victim of the power struggle within the Yuntian Sect. She regretted impersonating Zhou Yunting's daughter.
“Li Kunlun has the support of two Grand Elders. If your master does not agree to marry me to him, he will lose the support of these two Grand Elders and thus lose the position of sect leader!”

"Oh!" Zi Dong nodded with a look of sudden realization: "Master means that I should cooperate in putting on a show to stop Li Kunlun from marrying you, right?"

"Acting?!" Zhou Xinyu's eyes widened instantly, her anger escalating. Zi Dong clearly didn't like her!
"Isn't this just acting?!" Zi Dong was puzzled to see Zhou Xinyu getting even angrier.

Although Zhou Xinyu was his type, Zi Dong didn't want to get caught up in romance yet. He needed to have enough self-defense power before he could afford to be affectionate with her; otherwise, he wouldn't even be able to protect his wife.

"Yes, it's acting!" Zhou Xinyu gritted her teeth, gave Zi Dong a final glare, and turned to walk out of the cave.

"When will we challenge Li Kunlun?" Zi Dong quickly asked, wanting to prepare once the time was set.

"Today!" Zhou Xinyu had just opened the cave door when she saw that it was already light, so she turned around and said fiercely.

"Not today, let's do it tomorrow." Zi Dong asked about the time because the Eastern Purple Qi would need to wait a few more hours before it could be used.

"Why not today?!" Zhou Xinyu immediately turned around and glared at Zi Dong, wishing he would kill Li Kunlun right away.

"I'm not available today." Zi Dong couldn't explain, so he used a famous quote from Earth to brush it off.

"What do you mean by inconvenient?!" Zhou Xinyu didn't understand at all, thinking that Zi Dong was unwilling to stand up for her.

"The inconvenience is because I'm not feeling well and need time to recover," Zi Dong quickly explained.

"Then hurry up and recover!" Zhou Xinyu said angrily, turned around and walked out of the cave, slamming the door shut with a "bang".

Zi Dong scratched his short hair inexplicably. He had already agreed to help, but she was still throwing a tantrum at him. Women are so strange.

Zhou Yunting finally felt relieved. After comforting the angry Zhou Xinyu, he informed the Hall of Affairs that Zi Dong would challenge Li Kunlun the next day.

The news spread quickly throughout the Yuntian Sect, and the disciples were all discussing it. Zi Dong and Li Kunlun even fought over Zhou Xinyu.

Feng Qingwu almost destroyed her own cave dwelling. She had been worried that Zi Dong and Zhou Xinyu were getting together, but she never expected that Zi Dong would actually stand up for Zhou Xinyu.

They were almost at Zi Dong's cave when Feng Qingwu finally calmed down. There was no point in asking Zi Dong about this.

If Zi Dong really likes Zhou Xinyu, the more he tries to stop her, the more he will try to bring the two of them together.

Then go find Li Kunlun and make him give up on marrying Zhou Xinyu. Then Zi Dong will have no reason to challenge him, and he and Zhou Xinyu will not be able to be together legitimately.

Then she immediately had her father propose marriage to Zhou Yunting, thus becoming Zi Dong's fiancée in a legitimate way.

Feng Qingwu quickly came up with a plan and rushed to Li Kunlun's cave, almost smashing the door open.

"Junior Sister Qingwu, what happened?!" Li Kunlun opened the cave door and saw Feng Qingwu's cold and frosty face.

“不准你接受紫东挑战，放弃迎娶周欣雨！”风青舞握紧双拳瞪着李昆仑，只要他敢说个不字，立刻就暴揍他一顿。

“Junior Sister Qingwu, I also didn’t want to marry Zhou Xinyu, but the Vice Sect Master made me do it!” Li Kunlun explained with a bitter face. “My father?!” Feng Qingwu was stunned. She had told her father long ago that she wanted to keep Zidong firmly under the Feng family’s control.

"All of this was arranged by the Vice Sect Master. You can ask him if you don't believe me." Li Kunlun quickly tried to exonerate himself, saying that he wanted to marry Feng Qingwu.

Although Zhou Xinyu is the sect leader's daughter, the Feng family still holds more power in the Yuntian Sect, and Zhou Yunting could ascend to the Central Continent at any time, so he would prefer to submit to the Feng family.

Feng Qingwu turned and left, heading straight for the summit, but she was even more puzzled, wondering why her father was doing this.

Zhou Yunting resided in the Ziyun Hall, the Supreme Elders lived in the back mountain, and the Deputy Sect Master and Elders lived on the hillsides surrounding the Ziyun Hall.

Compared to the Ziyun Palace, Feng Yuntian's mansion was like an inconspicuous slum, but it had all the necessary facilities.

It has a council hall, a living room, and a cultivation room. Feng Qingwu also has a room, but she rarely comes back to live there.

"Father, why did you let Li Kunlun marry Zhou Xinyu?!" Feng Qingwu burst into the council hall and immediately questioned Feng Yuntian.

She was deeply loved by her ancestor and grandfather, and she was usually not very polite when speaking to Feng Yuntian, let alone now when she was extremely annoyed.

"It was your grandfather and the two Supreme Elders' idea!" Feng Yuntian was sitting in the main seat deep in thought, while the empty council hall seemed to be filled with countless people respectfully awaiting his decision.

He was used to the way his daughter spoke to him, so he didn't pay any attention, only a bitter smile appeared on his dignified face.

"Why?!" Feng Qingwu couldn't make a scene any longer. She dared not go to her grandfather and the ancestor, as the other elder was the ancestor of Li Kunlun's master.

"Take advantage of Li Kunlun and Zhou Xinyu's engagement to invite Zhou Xinyu's mother to Yuntian Peak, let her make a scene with Chen Lin, and force Zhou Yunting to give up the position of sect leader."

Feng Yuntian didn't hide anything. It was originally a very good plan, but Zhou Yunting had Zi Dong challenge Li Kunlun. He was really cunning!

"We absolutely cannot let Zi Dong challenge Li Kunlun. Go and tell Grandpa and the two Supreme Elders!" Feng Qingwu gave her father a direct order.

"Your grandfather and the two Grand Elders won't agree." Feng Yuntian shook his head with a wry smile; he simply didn't dare to go.
“Li Kunlun is already at the Great Perfection of the Core Formation Realm and could break through to the Transformation Sea Realm at any time. Zi Dong is only at the Innate Realm. How could he be a match for Li Kunlun?”

"Zi Dong defeated a demon clan elder at the Star Refining Realm last night, how could Li Kunlun possibly be his match?!"

Feng Qingwu immediately widened her amethyst-like eyes. She had witnessed with her own eyes that Zi Dong could control nine flying swords and knock down the demon elder with a single strike.

"Spiritual weapons are not allowed in sect competitions. Zi Dong is unarmed. How can he be a match for Li Kunlun?"

Feng Yuntian naturally knew what Zi Dong had done outside Luo'an Town last night. Although he didn't understand it either, he was certain that it was definitely the problem with that spirit sword.

"The flying sword that Zi Dong used to defeat the demon elder was just an ordinary spirit sword. He could easily defeat Li Kunlun with his bare hands!"

Feng Qingwu spoke with a hint of pride, as if she had personally defeated that demon elder.

"How could a cultivator at the Innate Realm possibly defeat a Star Refining Realm elder with an ordinary spirit sword?!"

Feng Yuntian's eyes widened in shock, as if he had heard that a mortal had defeated a cultivator—it was simply unbelievable!

"Father, this is why I want to marry Zi Dong. As long as we get married, I will definitely be able to find out all about him!"
