The protagonist stole my spiritual root? Hey, heroine, give birth to me!

Soon, under Qian Yunji's command, everyone was persuaded to return, including the people from the Sect Master's Hall, leaving only Dong Li, Yu Gang, and Qian Yunji.

Upon seeing this, Yu Gang breathed a sigh of relief.

He doesn't have to marry Dong Li, which is good news for him.

But the next moment, Qian Yunji spoke, and he laughed loudly:

"Oh dear, my dear disciple, do you know how many years your master has been waiting for this moment!"

"Master, what do you mean by this?"

"What do I mean by this? Hahaha, what do you think your master has gone to such lengths for?"

"Why, why?"

"Hehehe, that's for you, my silly disciple!" Seeing this, Qian Yunji finally stopped hiding and revealed a villainous smile.

"For me? But Master, didn't you already pass the position of sect leader to me? What else do you want to give me?" Dong Li asked in confusion.

"You..." Qian Yunji was speechless. His disciple, whom he had personally trained, couldn't possibly be this stupid. Then, as if he had thought of something, he burst into laughter.

"Dong Li, you really are the disciple I trained. I almost managed to fool you by pretending to be stupid and stalling for time!"

As Qian Yunji spoke, he took out another jade pendant from his storage ring and tossed it to Dong Li. Dong Li did not catch it, but she could see the character "仞" on the jade pendant.

"I'm already powerless to fight back, so why is Master still setting a trap for me?"

"No ability to fight back? Hmph, I won't underestimate my disciple like that! Besides, I'm not doing this to set a trap for you, but... to make you take the initiative." Qian Yun smiled sinisterly.

"You... you're despicable! Qian Yunji, I never imagined you could be such a despicable person! You are not worthy to be my master. I feel disgusted just looking at you!" Dong Li shouted angrily.

But Qian Yunji was not in a hurry. He wanted to wait until Dongli was completely overwhelmed and lost the ability to resist before he made his move.

As for the good-for-nothing Yu Gang standing to the side, he couldn't be bothered to pay him any attention; he could just let the good-for-nothing look at him.

"Qian Yunji, you are morally depraved... Aren't you afraid of divine retribution for such behavior?!"

"What does this have to do with divine punishment? I haven't done anything that would anger the heavens or the people, so why would I be subject to divine punishment? Good disciple, you really have nothing to say!"

"You..." Dong Li watched as her face grew increasingly flushed and her breathing became increasingly erratic. Finally, with no other options left, she pulled out her hairpin and, without hesitation, stabbed it into her own neck.

Upon seeing this, Qian Yunji's expression changed drastically, and he immediately stepped forward to stop Dong Li, while Yu Gang tried to take the opportunity to slip away.

Two seconds passed, and no sound of a hairpin piercing a neck was heard on the field, so it seemed that nothing had happened.

Meanwhile, Dong Li's hand, which was gripping the hairpin, was being held by a handsome man.

The visitor was none other than Chen Xuan.

"Master's wife, how come you've become like this as soon as I arrived? And you want to commit suicide?" Chen Xuan said, snatching Dong Li's hairpin and gently pulling her into his arms.

"Chen, Chen Xuan?"

Dong Li looked up and finally saw the face she had been waiting for for many days. However, she did not feel happy at this moment. Instead, she grabbed Chen Xuan's hand with all her might and stuffed a teleportation talisman into his hand.

If she had been able to use her spiritual energy, she wouldn't have needed to commit suicide; she could have found a way to leave on her own.

"Quickly, kill me! Don't... let him succeed! Kill me, then you can use this to escape! You absolutely must... kill me!"

"No, how could I possibly lay a hand on you? You are my master's wife, and I, Chen Xuan, would never be someone who betrays his master and ancestors!" Chen Xuan spoke righteously, which made Dong Li in his arms cry with anxiety.

"You, how can you be so disobedient? Do you want to just watch me get humiliated before you feel at ease?!" Dong Li said, exasperated.

"Chen Xuan! I didn't expect you to actually come here! Now I order you to hand over your injured person, and I might spare your life, otherwise..." Qian Yunji threatened.

"Chen Xuan...you, you don't need to worry about me, just leave now, hurry up!" Dong Li kept pushing Chen Xuan in her arms, calling out to her fourth sister.

"Leave? Heh, do you think you can just leave? Did I give you permission to leave?"

Seeing the two facing a life-or-death separation, Qian Yunji smiled cruelly and suddenly rushed towards Chen Xuan and the other man.

But the next moment, his hand passed through the two of them.

"Afterimage?? When did you..." Qian Yunji turned around abruptly and found Chen Xuan right behind him, gently wiping away Dong Li's tears.

"I can't just abandon you, after all..."

Chen Xuan didn't say anything more, and Dong Li was too lazy to think about it at this point, because she was already pushing herself to her limit.

"Run! I... I don't want you to see me in this wretched state. Please kill me, I'm begging you!"

"We can all live, so why kill you?"

Chen Xuan spoke calmly, then waved his hand, summoning Ji Youruo and Hua Mengjie. He ordered the two to deal with Qian Yunji, but secretly told them not to kill him.

After giving all these instructions, he carried the dazed Dongli to his cave.

"Wait, Chen Xuan, wait! Quickly save your master! Get me out of this hellhole!" Yu Gang suddenly ran back in a disheveled state.

It turned out that there were guards at the entrance of the sect leader's palace, so he couldn't escape at all.

"Oh dear, I'm so sorry, how could I forget about you, teacher!" Chen Xuan slapped his forehead and said with a smile.

"It's alright, it's alright, teacher, I don't blame you. Just get rid of that bitch and get me out of here!"

Chen Xuan smiled slightly, snapped his fingers, and said nothing.

The next instant, Long Yuyan appeared in front of the three of them.

"Huh? Xuan'er? How come you... wait, you brought me out!" Long Yuyan was puzzled for a moment, then realized what was going on.

"It's been so long since I've seen my teacher's wife. I miss you so much today."

Upon hearing this, Long Yuyan blushed and gently patted Chen Xuan.

"Hmph! You're always talking nonsense! If you weren't holding someone right now, I'd believe you! Besides, we've been married for ages, why bring this up?"

"Old husband?? Old wife?!?"

Suddenly, Yu Gang's voice came from behind Long Yuyan.

"Weren't you in seclusion? Why are you here? And with Chen Xuan, you two like an old married couple? Who am I then?" Yu Gang roared angrily, pointing at Long Yuyan.

Long Yuyan turned around, saw Yu Gang, and a look of disgust appeared on her face.

At this moment, everything she owned belonged to Chen Xuan. She felt disgusted even speaking a single word to Yu Gang.

Furthermore, back then, I had already been confronted by that scoundrel Chen Xuan... never mind, just thinking about it makes me feel a little uncomfortable.

"Chen Xuan! What's going on with you? That bitch Long Yuyan is actually here with you...!" Yu Gang started cursing Long Yuyan.

"What? What's going on?" Chen Xuan interrupted Yu Gang, and put his other arm around Long Yuyan.

"Can't you see, my two mistresses? Right now, I have one in each hand."
