After being jilted by the saintess at the beginning, why is she crying?

Suddenly, two figures appeared out of thin air in front of him!

One on the left and one on the right, like two gatekeepers, they blocked Xiao Sheng's way!

The two people exuded an extremely strong aura, as unfathomable as an abyss!

Core Formation True Person!

Two Core Formation cultivators!

One of them raised his hand and waved it, and a light blue screen appeared out of thin air, directly enveloping the palm strike!

"Hiss hiss hiss—!"

The palm print struck the water curtain with a piercing sound and emitted a puff of white smoke!

A moment later, the palm print vanished without a trace, as if it had never existed.

The other person's gaze was sharp as lightning, coldly sweeping over Lin Fengmian.

That gaze held a mixture of scrutiny, disdain, and warning.

"Two Core Formation cultivators!"

Upon seeing this, the surrounding disciples exclaimed in surprise, their eyes filled with awe and envy.

"They are protectors sent by the family to safeguard the Holy Son!"

"Heavens! Two Core Formation cultivators are personally protecting you! This is quite a show of power!"

"As expected of the Holy Son! Who can compare to this treatment?"

Hearing the exclamations, Xiao Sheng smiled smugly.

He stood with his hands behind his back, looking down at Lin Fengmian with even greater contempt in his eyes.

"These two are the protectors sent by the family to protect this holy son."

His tone was indifferent, as if he were talking about a trivial matter:

"Kid, do you still want to fight?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly waved his hand!

Lin Fengmian was about to speak when suddenly—

An invisible force surged from Xiao Sheng's direction and slammed directly into his chest!

"Bang--!"

Lin Fengmian's body flew backward like a kite with a broken string!

He plowed two deep furrows in the ground with his feet, retreating more than ten feet before he could barely regain his footing!

A mouthful of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth!

Lin Fengmian looked down and felt a wave of fear wash over him.

Damn, is this the power of a Core Formation cultivator?

Even a casual strike from him couldn't withstand a second-tier body cultivator like myself!

If it weren't for his foundation as a second-tier body cultivator, he would probably have been crippled by now!

Meanwhile, Xiao Sheng still wore a smug smile on his face.

He stood with his hands behind his back, as if the attack just now was not his doing at all.

"Junior Brother Lin!"

Seeing this, Xiao Xiyue's beautiful eyes were filled with worry, and she quickly came to Lin Fengmian's side.

She reached out and supported his arm, placing her palm on his back to feel his injuries.

When she noticed the surging blood and qi within her body, and the faint cracks in her meridians, her eyes immediately reddened.

"Are you...are you alright?"

Her voice choked with emotion, tinged with heartache and self-reproach.

If it weren't for his own sake, he wouldn't have...

Lin Fengmian shook his head, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and smiled slightly at her:

"It's nothing, just a superficial injury."

He took a deep breath and circulated the Jade Bone Rock Technique. Jade light flowed within his body, and his surging blood and qi gradually calmed down.

Xiao Xiyue breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that he was indeed alright.

But then, she raised her head, a hint of anger flashing in her beautiful eyes.

She looked at Xiao Sheng in mid-air, her voice as cold as ice:

"Senior Brother Xiao! You've gone too far!"

"Junior Brother Lin has no grudge against you, why would you resort to such a vicious attack?"

"As a holy son, is your heart so narrow-minded?"

The voice was clear and crisp, each word precious, echoing all around.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Sheng was taken aback.

Then, he looked into Xiao Xiyue's beautiful eyes, which were filled with anger, and a sense of irritation welled up in his heart.

This woman actually publicly criticized me for a worthless furnace cauldron?

He was about to get angry, but when his gaze fell on Xiao Xiyue's stunningly beautiful face, he forcibly suppressed his anger.

Forget it, why bother arguing with her?

Once she's with me, I'll train her properly.

He took a deep breath and looked at Lin Fengmian.

I thought the other person would be seriously injured and fall to the ground, but I didn't expect that the kid could actually stand up!

And it seems the injury isn't serious.

Xiao Sheng was surprised, but he remained expressionless.

He stood with his hands behind his back and spoke calmly:

"This is just a lesson."

"From now on, you stay away from those three!"

He paused, his gaze turning cold, and spoke each word clearly:

"If I find out you're still bothering those girls, I definitely won't let you off so easily!"

After saying that, he turned to leave.

"Oh, right."

He suddenly stopped, turned his head to look at Lin Fengmian, and a contemptuous smile curled at the corner of his mouth:

"Remember, this is the last time."

"Next time, I won't hold back."

After saying that, he strode forward.

The two Core Formation cultivators followed behind without expression.

Upon seeing this, the surrounding disciples quickly made way for them, their eyes filled with awe.

Xiao Sheng walked slowly and leisurely, as if enjoying the attention he received.

He was secretly pleased—

Today's performance not only taught that arrogant good-for-nothing a lesson, but also publicly demonstrated his strength and authority.

From now on, who in the Hehuan Sect will dare to disobey?

however--

He had only taken a few steps when he suddenly bumped into a figure.

"Bang."

A soft sound.

Xiao Sheng felt a tightness in his chest, as if he had bumped into an impenetrable wall, and his feet involuntarily took half a step back.

He looked up, about to erupt in anger—

But they met a pair of cold eyes.

It was a woman.

She wore a long, moon-white dress, the fabric of which was light and thin, swaying gently in the wind and outlining her exquisite figure.

Her hair was as black as a waterfall, her skin as smooth as cream, and her features were exquisitely beautiful.

But at this moment, there was no tenderness in those beautiful eyes, only overwhelming anger and killing intent.

Nangong Li.

She appeared here at some unknown time, blocking Xiao Sheng's path.

Xiao Sheng was slightly taken aback, and was about to speak—

But then he saw that Nangong Li's gaze had already passed over him and was looking behind him.

That gaze fell on Lin Fengmian, who was clutching his abdomen and whose mouth was still bleeding.

When Nangong Li saw the glaring bright red at the corner of his mouth, he felt a surge of anger rush to his head!

"Xiao Sheng!"

She abruptly turned her head, staring intently at the man before her, her voice as cold as the deepest hell:

"Who gave you the audacity to harm my husband?"

The sound wasn't loud, but it reached everyone's ears clearly.

His tone and his aura made it seem as if he were not the Holy Son of the Heavenly Profound Holy Land, but an ant who was unaware of his own mortality!

Xiao Sheng's face darkened—

"Saintess Nangong, you..."

He was about to explain when he realized that Nangong Li wasn't even looking at him.

Her gaze remained fixed on Lin Fengmian.

Those eyes were filled with heartache, worry, and... self-blame.

A strange sense of irritation welled up in Xiao Sheng's heart.

This woman also belongs to Lin Fengmian...

"I told you!"

Nangong Li suddenly turned her head, a cold glint flashing in her beautiful eyes:

"Who gave you the guts!"

Before the words were finished—

A surge of overwhelming anger rose within her!

The anger erupted like a volcano, instantly shattering her reason!
