The sect asked me to marry, and I cultivated to the pinnacle of martial arts!

Upon hearing this, Xiao Qingyin became even more furious.

If the person I lost is like the bright moon in the sky, then so be it.

You, a young master from a Yuanzhou family, have such a brain full of bloating, yet you compare yourself to the bright moon in the sky?!

Who gave you the courage...?

If it weren't for Xiao Qingyin's personality, which prevented her from using such vulgar language, she would have genuinely wanted to swear at that moment.

The old man put his hands behind his back and said, "I don't want to take advantage of your young age. Will you come with my young master on your own, or do you insist that I take action?"

Behind Old Liu, the elegantly dressed young man nodded in satisfaction.

I didn't embarrass him.

"You, a mere martial arts grandmaster, dare to be so arrogant? Don't you know there are always people more powerful than you?" Frowning, Xiao Qingyin, having just entered Yuanzhou, didn't want to make enemies rashly. Instead of immediately taking action, she spoke up.

Xiao Qingyin recognized him as a martial arts grandmaster, but the old man wasn't surprised, since he had already released his grandmaster-level aura.

Before the old man could speak, the richly dressed man behind him spoke first.

"There's always something beyond the heavens? Hahaha... To be honest, in this small corner of the world, my Yuan family is the heaven!"

As a family of Grandmasters in the mortal realm, the Yuan family has considerable control over several cities in the vicinity, and it wouldn't be wrong to call them local tyrants.

After all, even in Yuanzhou, there aren't many people who have reached the Grandmaster level.

Therefore, the elegantly dressed young man spoke with great confidence.

Although the old man felt that the remark was somewhat inappropriate, he did not say anything more.

"In that case, there's nothing more to say?" Xiao Qingyin said.

The next moment, before the old man could speak, Xiao Qingyin's eyes suddenly turned cold. With a speed that was almost invisible to everyone present, she instantly appeared in front of the old man and struck out with a palm...

"puff!"

The old man, who had reached the level of a martial arts grandmaster, suddenly widened his eyes in horror. His body was sent flying, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

The old man never expected that he, a martial arts master, would be sent flying without even having time to react.

"You...you're a Grandmaster of the Mortal Realm?!"

After a moment, suppressing his injuries, the old man spoke with a look of horror.

The old man never expected that the woman he met in the middle of the night in the wilderness would actually be a true grandmaster!
That single move gave the old man a sudden feeling of facing death...

Moreover, the old man knew that if the other party hadn't seemed to have some concerns and therefore held back, he would probably have died on the spot from that attack!

The gap between a Grandmaster and a Great Grandmaster is simply too great.

"What?! She's a Grandmaster of the Mortal Realm?! How is that possible?!" Upon hearing the old man's words, the man in fine clothes immediately refused to believe it.

What a coincidence that the person I met in the wilderness in the middle of the night turned out to be a Grandmaster who is rarely seen in normal times.

You should know that the Yuan family, despite being a Grandmaster family in the mortal realm, only has two ancestors who are in the mortal realm.

Now, a woman who doesn't look very old has actually reached the mortal realm?!

But seeing that the old man Liu, who was protecting him, was now collapsed on the ground, clearly injured, the man in fine clothes had no choice but to believe it.

Because unless one is a Grandmaster, there is no way one could injure Elder Liu with a single move. Xiao Qingyin repelled the Grandmaster's guard with a single palm strike, then looked at the man in fine clothes and said calmly, "Now, do you have anything else to say?"

The reason she didn't kill him was because Xiao Qingyin knew that too.

The fact that a martial arts master could serve as a bodyguard indicates that this richly dressed man must come from an extraordinary family.

She is currently only a Grandmaster who has just entered the mortal realm, and she doesn't want to provoke a powerful enemy for no reason.

Most importantly, if the other party really intended to fight to the death, Xiao Qingyin knew she didn't have the ability to deal with it.

The final result... would be that she would have to trouble Lu Ye, but she didn't want to do that right now.

The man in fine clothes had a face that was bruised and battered. He wanted to regain his previous imposing manner, but he was afraid that the woman would attack him.

Despite receiving a large supply of family elixirs and preferential treatment in resources, he is only at the third level of the Innate Realm.

Even Old Liu couldn't withstand a single blow, so what could he possibly have to withstand it?
So the man in fine clothes slunk away with his men.

“I thought you would leave them all here.” Lu Ye said, watching the group flee in a disheveled state.

Hearing this, Xiao Qingyin smiled bitterly and said, "If it were me in the past, I would most likely have done the same. However, things have changed a lot now. Since he has a Grandmaster-level bodyguard, it means his background is not weak."

Lu Ye nodded thoughtfully; he understood Xiao Qingyin's actions.

With himself here, even if that person eventually brings reinforcements, Lu Ye is confident he can handle the situation.

But now Xiao Qingyin's methods are gentle, probably because she doesn't want to continue owing me favors.

However, although Xiao Qingyin wanted to handle the situation gently, the other side did not think so.

Less than an hour later, before dawn, noises came from afar again.

Lu Ye frowned slightly: "They're here again, and they've brought someone with a rather powerful aura. He should be a Grandmaster of the Mortal Realm."

Of course, Lu Ye's description of the aura as powerful only applies to Xiao Qingyin. To him, a mortal being who can withstand even one or two of his moves would be quite impressive.

Xiao Qingyin also frowned. She hadn't even hurt their feelings too much, yet they still wanted to make a comeback?

A few moments later, several more figures descended upon the place.

The elegantly dressed man I had seen before, along with the injured old man Liu, were also among them.

At this moment, the leader was replaced by a bald old man whose aura far surpassed that of the old man Liu.

"It was you who injured someone from my Yuan family and told me to get lost?" After the bald old man arrived, he only glanced at Lu Ye before fixing his gaze on Xiao Qingyin.

After all, according to their information, it was Xiao Qingyin who made the move.

Grandmasters in the mortal realm are never like cabbages in the field, readily available everywhere.

Since this woman is a mortal, then that man... obviously, is very likely not.

“We were having a perfectly fine overnight stay here when these people suddenly came and tried to forcibly take me away. I told them to get lost. Is there a problem with that?” Hearing this, Xiao Qingyin frowned.

However, he still patiently continued.

I thought this bald old man was only a mid-stage Grandmaster in the mortal realm, so he wouldn't be so arrogant and unreasonable.

But after hearing this, the bald old man snorted coldly and said, "Hmph! No matter what, you injured someone from my Yuan family. Tell me, how should we compensate you for this?" (End of Chapter)
