Let you be a good grandson, you raise a group of banshees?

Mei Niang cried out tenderly, her eyes rolling, pitiful: "Sir, why are you so heartless? I am sincere, can't you feel it?"

Lu Yuan sneered and shook off her hand: "You should keep your sincerity for others. I, Lu Yuan, am not someone that anyone can approach easily."

Mei Niang was frightened by Lu Yuan's aura and dared not to do it again. She rolled her eyes and thought of a plan: "Young Master is so heartless, is it because he has a beautiful woman in his heart? Could it be the Saint of Qingyun Sect? I heard that she is extremely beautiful and has an extraordinary talent..."

Lu Yuan's expression changed slightly, and a cold light flashed in his eyes: "You'd better not mention her."

Seeing that Lu Yuan was so concerned, Mei Niang became more certain of her guess. She blinked innocently and said, "Sir, please don't be angry. I just said it casually. Since you don't care, I'll take my leave."

Mei Niang turned and left, her graceful figure swaying in the moonlight. Lu Yuan looked at her back, a complicated look flashing in his eyes.

At this moment, a cold voice came: "Lu Yuan, what are you doing here?"

Lu Yuan turned around and saw a woman in white standing not far away. It was the Saintess of Qingyun Sect, Lin Qingxue. She had a beautiful face and an extraordinary temperament, like a fairy from heaven.

Lu Yuan smiled and walked quickly to Lin Qingxue: "Qingxue, why are you here?"

Lin Qingxue frowned slightly: "I heard that you dueled with Bai Qi, so I came to see you. Are you okay?"

Lu Yuan smiled and shook his head: "I'm fine, Bai Qi is no match for me."

Lin Qingxue breathed a sigh of relief, then immediately scolded, "You are always like this, trying to be strong and competitive. What if you get hurt?"

Lu Yuan held Lin Qingxue's hand and said softly, "Don't worry, I'll be fine. I still have to protect you."

Lin Qingxue blushed slightly and gently pulled back her hand: "Who asked you to protect me..."

Lu Yuan laughed and hugged Lin Qingxue into his arms: "You are my future wife, of course I have to protect you."

Lin Qingxue struggled for a while, but couldn't get out of Lu Yuan's arms. She sighed helplessly and let Lu Yuan hold her.

The two of them hugged each other quietly, feeling each other's body temperature. The moonlight shone on them, just like a pair of immortal lovers.

Suddenly, a gust of cold wind blew, and the temperature around them dropped sharply. Lu Yuan and Lin Qingxue both felt a strong breath approaching.

"Who is it?!" Lu Yuan shouted sternly.

A sinister voice sounded in the night sky: "Hehehe... I didn't expect to meet the legendary world's best master, Lu Yuan, here. It's really like searching for something without any effort."

A man in black walked out slowly from the darkness, with a hideous mask on his face and a black dagger in his hand.

Lu Yuan's eyes narrowed, and he protected Lin Qingxue behind him: "Who are you?"

The man in black sneered: "It doesn't matter who I am. What matters is that you will definitely die today!"

Before he finished speaking, the man in black flashed and turned into a black shadow, attacking Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan snorted coldly and slapped out with his palm, which collided with the dagger of the man in black.

"clang!"

There was a sound of metal clashing, and the man in black was pushed back a few steps.

"You're quite capable." A hint of surprise flashed in the black-clothed man's eyes. "But do you think you can defeat me like this?"

The man in black waved the dagger again and attacked Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan did not dodge or evade, and took the attack from the man in black head-on.

The two of them fought back and forth, fiercely.

Lin Qingxue stood aside, watching the fight nervously. She knew that the man in black was very powerful and Lu Yuan was probably no match for him. Suddenly, the man in black seized an opportunity and stabbed Lu Yuan in the chest with a dagger.

"Be careful!" Lin Qingxue exclaimed.

Lu Yuan's face changed and he wanted to dodge, but it was too late.

"puff!"

The dagger pierced Lu Yuan's chest and blood gushed out.

Lu Yuan groaned and his body shook.

"Lu Yuan!" Lin Qingxue exclaimed, rushed to Lu Yuan and supported his shaky body.

The man in black sneered: "You finally lost."

After saying this, the man in black turned and left, disappearing into the night...

Lin Qingxue's scream echoed in Lu Yuan's ears, like a sharp needle piercing the eardrum, but it was not as painful as the severe pain in his chest. He looked down at the dagger that stained his clothes red, and the bright red blood dripped down the blade, flashing a strange light in the moonlight.

"Lu Yuan!" Lin Qingxue's voice trembled, tears blurred her eyes. She hugged Lu Yuan tightly, as if she wanted to merge him into her body and use her body temperature to warm his gradually cold body.

Lu Yuan smiled, with a cynical arc on his lips. "Why are you crying? This little injury is nothing." He reached out and gently wiped away the tears on Lin Qingxue's face, his movements as gentle as if he were treating a precious piece of porcelain.

"Still trying to be brave!" Lin Qingxue choked up, her voice full of worry and self-blame, "It's all my fault. If it wasn't for me, you wouldn't have..."

"Silly girl," Lu Yuan interrupted her, "It is my responsibility to protect you. Even if I have to do it again, I will still do it." His voice became weaker and weaker, and his eyelids began to feel heavy.

Lin Qingxue shook her head desperately, tears falling like pearls from a broken string. "No, I don't want you to protect me, I just want you to live..."

Lu Yuan used up his last bit of strength to hug Lin Qingxue in his arms and whispered in her ear: "Don't cry, I'm fine..."

His voice became lower and lower, and finally disappeared in the night wind.

Lin Qingxue felt the body in her arms gradually losing temperature. Her world seemed to collapse at this moment, leaving only endless darkness and despair.

"Lu Yuan! Lu Yuan!..." She cried heartbreakingly, her voice echoing in the silent night sky, but received no response.

Suddenly, a powerful aura burst out from Lu Yuan, knocking Lin Qingxue away.

Lin Qingxue fell heavily to the ground, her vision blurred, but she still tried to raise her head and look in the direction of Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan's body was wrapped in a ball of golden light. The golden light became brighter and brighter, and finally turned into a beam of light that shot up into the sky, illuminating the entire night sky.

"What's going on?" Lin Qingxue looked at the scene in confusion.

At this moment, an old voice sounded in the night sky: "The Son of Destiny has finally awakened..."

Lin Qingxue looked in the direction of the voice and saw a white-haired old man standing not far away, looking in Lu Yuan's direction with a look of satisfaction.

"Who are you?" Lin Qingxue asked vigilantly.

The old man stroked his beard and said with a smile: "I am the old man Tianji, and I am ordered to protect the son of destiny."

"Child of Destiny?" Lin Qingxue became even more confused.

Elder Tianji nodded: "Yes, Lu Yuan is the son of destiny, destined to save the people from danger." (End of this chapter)
