Why did you provoke her? Even Heaven itself is afraid of her.

"you lose."

Zhou Min was no longer as arrogant as she had been at the beginning, and her eyes were full of resentment as she looked at Ling Xiao.

“Zhou Min, you’re right. We’re not on the same path. Don’t worry, I, Ling Xiao, have no improper thoughts about you. After all, someone like you is not worthy of entering my Ling family. Since you want to break off the engagement, I will grant your wish. From now on, we will be strangers.”

Ling Xiao had no desire to say another word to her, so he sheathed his weapon and prepared to leave.

"No, no, I won't lose, how could I possibly lose? You're clearly already a piece of trash, so why? Why are you so lucky, not only did you recover your cultivation so easily, but you even improved it?"

"easy?"

Upon hearing Zhou Min's words, Ling Xiao stopped in his tracks, turned around, and looked at Zhou Min, who was lying on the ground, looking devastated.

"Zhou Min, you're really ridiculous. What, just because you didn't see it, does that mean everyone did nothing? You think they were wasting their time?"

Zhou Min stared intently at Ling Xiao, as if to say, "Isn't that right?"

Ling Xiao found her increasingly amusing.

I never knew she was so self-righteous.

"Zhou Min, have you truly been diligently cultivating, both in the past and now?"

Faced with Ling Xiao's questioning, Zhou Min felt inexplicably guilty, but she wouldn't admit it.

Her current level of cultivation is naturally the result of her hard work.

Ling Xiao didn't give her a chance to answer and looked at the young sect master of the Beacon Fire Sect.

The latter frowned, thinking to himself: What is he planning to do?

Ling Xiao looked at Zhou Min again and sneered, "Zhou Min, do you really think I, Ling Xiao, am a fool who knows nothing?"

What do you mean?

Zhou Min was confused, and the Ling family members were also somewhat puzzled.

“Three years ago, before my cultivation had any problems, you and the young sect leader of the Beacon Fire Sect were already secretly having an affair. Do you really think I didn’t know?”

How could that be? How could he possibly know?

Zhou Min stared wide-eyed, unable to believe it.

"what?"

Ling Yongchang and the others were furious upon hearing this.

They always thought that Zhou Min only started dating the young sect leader of the Feng Huo Sect after Ling Xiao's cultivation level regressed.

People always want to climb higher, and they don't have many complaints; at most, they're just angry.

But now the truth is that Zhou Min had an affair with someone else before this!

"Zhou Xun, shouldn't you give the Ling family an explanation?"

Ling Yongchang wished he could devour Zhou Xun.

Despite her own daughter's indiscretions, she repeatedly blamed her son for everything.

Despicable, utterly despicable.

"Ling Xiao, don't make false accusations."

He was getting anxious.

"Slanderous accusations? Sorry, I accidentally recorded it with a shadow stone back then."

As he spoke, Ling Xiao took out a shadow stone.

"No, no."

Upon seeing the Shadow Stone, Zhou Min panicked and, disregarding her own injuries, got up to try and snatch it.

Seeing her like this, Zhou Xun and the young sect leader of the Feng Huo Sect couldn't help but curse her as an idiot.

Regardless of whether Ying Shi recorded it or not, her actions have already made her admit to the matter to the world.

"This isn't a Shadow Stone; you're lying to me."

Looking at the stone in my hand, it wasn't a photo-taking stone at all; it was just an ordinary stone from the road.

"I don't have that kind of fetish, why would I record your filthy behavior?"

Ling Yun was quite surprised. Ling Xiao looked like a gentleman, but he turned out to be a cunning and ruthless person.

interesting.

Knowing she had been deceived, Zhou Min wanted nothing more than to kill Ling Xiao.

From now on, her reputation is completely ruined.

"Ling Xiao, are you really so heartless? Do you really want to destroy me?"

Zhou Min gritted her teeth and glared fiercely at Ling Xiao.

"Heartless? Didn't you choose all of this yourself?"

There's no point in wasting words with this kind of person; they'll never look for problems within themselves.

"Heh... Ling Xiao, so what if you win? Do you really think I'm here just to annul the engagement?"

"That idiot, she's trying to ruin the adults' plans."

The young sect leader of the Beacon Fire Sect was furious, but dared not make a sound lest he attract the attention of the Ling family.

But he didn't know that Ling Yun had been watching his every move.

"What do you mean?"

Ling Xiao stopped again and looked at Zhou Min.

"What do you mean? Why don't you go back to the Ling family and see for yourself? You'll find out then."

"Oh no, quick, go back!"

Zhou Min's words shocked all the Ling family members present.

The thought of something possibly happening to the Ling family made Ling Yongchang's face turn extremely pale, and he immediately led the Ling family back to the Ling family home.

"Zhou Min, you'd better pray that the Ling family is alright, or I will never forgive you."

Zhou Min ignored his warning; after today, the Ling family would cease to exist in the northern part of the city.

Zhou Xun, naturally not wanting to miss the chance to witness the downfall of the Ling family, followed suit.

Most people went to the Ling family, except for Shangguan Xiu.

Although he was said to be Ling Xiao's friend, his attention seemed to be focused on Ling Yun.

"You're from the Ling family too, right? They've all left, why aren't you going? You don't seem to be in any hurry at all?"

Shangguan Xiu watched with an air of amusement, his curiosity about Ling Yun completely undisguised and unmasked.

Ling Yun just stared at him, but saw nothing.

But clearly, this person was incredibly thick-skinned and showed no discomfort whatsoever.

"You seem quite curious about me."

Not a question, but an affirmation.

"Looks like I made it pretty obvious."

Don't hide it, admit it directly.

Ling Yun wasn't averse to this kind of person, after all, she couldn't control people's hearts.

What's more, in her eyes this person was just a brat.

They're just like any other pet! They're naturally curious, I understand.

If Shangguan Xiu knew that Ling Yun treated him like a brat, he would probably fly into a rage.

"Little guy, do you want to go see what's going on?"

Shangguan Xiu's lips twitched.

"Little guy?" What does that mean?

Besides, how is he small?

What's more, he and Ling Xiao are the same age.

Ling Yun didn't care what he thought; she grabbed Shangguan Xiu's arm.

Before Shangguan Xiu could react, he felt a strong gust of wind rushing towards him.

They were moving so fast that he didn't even have time to react before they arrived.

At the same time, he was also glad that it didn't last long, otherwise he would have thrown up.

"What's going on? Why are so many people gathered here?"

Looking at the dense, dark mass in front of me, I couldn't help but feel puzzled.

"I didn't expect the Ling family to have such a hidden trump card. I've never heard of the Ling family having a sacred beast guarding them before."

"Who says otherwise? Didn't you see the terrified look on the Zhou family patriarch's face? Tsk tsk tsk, it was truly a sight to behold."

......

Holy beast!

Upon hearing the surrounding chatter, Shangguan Xiu's first reaction was to look at Ling Yun.

The fact that Shangguan Xiu and Ling Yun were not familiar with each other, so why was he so curious about Ling Yun, was purely coincidental.

He had met Ling Yun once when he entered the northern city.

At that moment, he happened to see Ling Yun sitting on the sacred beast.

God knows how shocked he was at the time.

"how is this possible?"

The old man was seriously injured, and fear was evident in his eyes.

He originally led several high-level spiritual realm experts to attack the people left behind by the Ling family, but a sacred beast suddenly appeared. Even though they all joined forces, they couldn't withstand a single move and were captured alive.
