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

"I thought it was someone else coming, but it turns out it was just an old dog that came after we beat the puppy."

He paused, looked directly at Xiao Yuanshan, and said, word by word:

"You old dog, get out of here!"

"Otherwise, I'll chop you down with me, you old dog!"

Upon hearing this, the entire room fell into a deathly silence!

Everyone stared wide-eyed at Lin Fengmian in disbelief.

What...what did he say?!

How dare he say such things to an elder in the Core Formation stage?!

Crazy? !

Su Zhenzhen stood aside, watching Lin Fengmian's fearless demeanor, her beautiful eyes sparkling with admiration.

She felt her heart beat faster.

This man...

So cool!

This is just right for my taste!

They are bold and decisive, unafraid of power, and quick to act without hesitation!

This personality is a perfect match for me!

"you--!"

Xiao Yuanshan was trembling with rage, his finger pointing at Lin Fengmian shaking, his white beard twitching.

"You...you dare to disrespect the elders?!"

His voice was trembling, and he clearly lacked confidence.

To be honest, he didn't really want to have a conflict with Lin Fengmian.

After all, according to his understanding, this kid not only had the protection of the Supreme Elder of the Hehuan Sect, but also the protection of Nangong Li from the Nangong family.

Back then, their ancestor Xiao Wanshan was slapped against the wall by Nangong Li and couldn't be pried off!

He still feels lingering fear when he thinks about that terrifying strength.

Moreover, Nangong Li is only at the Foundation Establishment stage...

If we wait until she breaks through to the Golden Core stage, what will happen?

Upon hearing Xiao Yuanshan's words, Lin Fengmian retorted without any politeness:

"Elder? You dare to challenge me?"

"You're nothing but a dog kept by the Kong family, yet you dare call yourself an elder?"

"Get out of my way! Can't you see I'm going out to pick up a mission?"

After saying that, he turned around and walked to Su Zhenzhen's side, took her hand in one swift motion, and didn't even glance at Xiao Yuanshan.

"Come on, my dear wife, let's go with your husband to accept a mission."

As Su Zhenzhen was led by him, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but turn up, and she felt a sweet warmth in her heart.

She obediently followed beside him and whispered:

"Good husband."

The two walked hand in hand through the deathly silent crowd toward the mission posting area.

Behind him, Xiao Chen and Xiao Yuanshan stood together, their faces ashen.

Xiao Chen stared intently at Lin Fengmian's back, his eyes filled with malice and murderous intent.

"Elder..."

He spoke in a low, hoarse voice:

"This kid... he actually dares to leave the sect?"

Xiao Yuanshan narrowed his eyes, a cold glint flashing in his cloudy old eyes.

"yes……"

He muttered to himself, a chilling smile playing on his lips:

"He chooses the path to heaven but not the path to hell, barging in when there is no way out."

"Lin Fengmian..."

"If you really dare to leave the sect, I will make sure you die a horrible death!"

The two exchanged a glance, both seeing a chilling killing intent in each other's eyes.

……

Task posting area.

Su Zhenzhen casually accepted a task to collect spiritual herbs—the location was not far from the Hehuan Sect, on the outskirts of the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range.

Lin Fengmian raised an eyebrow slightly as he looked at the task she had chosen.

Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range?

Those were some of the few dangerous places in the Zhao state that had not been fully developed.

Because the core area is inhabited by many third-tier demonic beasts, which is equivalent to the Core Formation stage of human cultivators.

Even ordinary Core Formation cultivators wouldn't dare to venture too deep, let alone Foundation Establishment cultivators like them.

However, the outer area is relatively safe, and there shouldn't be too much danger as long as you don't go deep into the core.

Lin Fengmian was making plans in his mind.

The Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range has a complex terrain and is teeming with demonic beasts. Once inside, even a Core Formation cultivator would find it difficult to locate themselves.

When the time comes, I'll just slip into the core area and hide in the jade pendant space, then let the other side find me.

As long as the other party is not afraid of the third-tier monsters inside, it will be fine.

He knew very well—

If the Xiao family really wants to make a move, I might not be able to protect myself within the Hehuan Sect.

The sect's supreme elder was seriously injured and is still in seclusion to recuperate. It is impossible for him to emerge from seclusion in the short term.

And Nangong Li...

Last time, in order to save herself, she forcibly broke the seal within her body. Although she repelled the powerful enemy, she also suffered a backlash.

She certainly cannot break the seal again in the short term.

If I stay in the sect, I will only implicate her.

It would be better to take this opportunity to go out and avoid the limelight.

By the way, I'll also go to the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range for some training.

"Husband, aren't you afraid of the Xiao family's revenge?"

Su Zhenzhen looked at him, a hint of cunning in her beautiful eyes.

Lin Fengmian chuckled upon hearing this:

"What's there to be afraid of?"

"Now that I've offended the Kong family, why would I be afraid of such a small family as the Xiao family?"

"Having a lot of debt doesn't weigh you down; having a lot of lice doesn't itch you."

"Since we're already going to offend them, we might as well offend them thoroughly and let them know that I, Lin Fengmian, am not someone to be trifled with."

Su Zhenzhen's beautiful eyes sparkled as she listened to these words.

She felt that Lin Fengmian was exactly to her liking.

From childhood to adulthood, the men she had met were either timid, cowardly bookworms or arrogant playboys, all of whom she found utterly boring.

Only Lin Fengmian—

Be fearless, never back down, be arrogant when you need to be, and be ruthless when you need to be.

This is the kind of man she wants!

In fact, Lin Fengmian knew the truth perfectly well.

Su Zhenzhen's personality is exactly like that of a spirited young woman from the cultivation world—

If the other party is arrogant, you must be even more arrogant.

If the other party is scheming, you must be even more scheming than them.

Only in this way can you win her over.

After accepting their mission, the two walked out of the sect's grand formation side by side.

……

Outside of the Hehuan Sect.

Green mountains and clear waters, shrouded in mist.

Lin Fengmian took a deep breath, preparing to fly on his sword—

"Husband, wait."

Su Zhenzhen suddenly reached out and grabbed him, taking something out of her storage bag.

The thing was about the size of a palm, silvery-white all over, and shaped like a willow leaf, shimmering with a faint silver light in the sunlight.

"Husband, let's sit here instead."

After Su Zhenzhen finished speaking, she tossed the silvery-white willow leaf into the air.

Willow leaves grow tall as they sway in the wind!

In the blink of an eye, a silver boat about three zhang long and shaped like a shuttle floated in front of the two of them!

The boat has smooth lines and is entirely silver-white, gleaming with a dreamlike luster in the sunlight.

The boat was covered with densely packed spiritual patterns, each one shimmering with a faint light, clearly indicating that it was no ordinary object.

On either side of the shuttle, there is a row of spirit pattern arrays, emitting faint fluctuations of spiritual energy.

Lin Fengmian's eyes lit up.

Good guy!

This thing looks like it's worth a lot of spirit stones!

This is what a woman from a prominent family should be like—she even brings her own transportation when she goes out!

Seeing his expression, Su Zhenzhen felt secretly pleased. She lightly leaped onto the flying boat and waved to him.

"Husband, come up here."

Lin Fengmian didn't stand on ceremony and leaped onto the flying boat.
