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

The Heavenly Sword Sect, however, is a genuine first-class sect, a top-tier sect in the entire Qingzhou.

The Sword Master of the Heavenly Sword Sect holds a position far superior to that of the Holy Son of the Joyful Union Sect.

but--

Lin Fengmian sneered inwardly.

No matter what kind of sword or knife you have, if you dare to steal my woman, I won't give you any face.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Xiyue felt no emotion whatsoever.

Regardless of the other party's status, her body and soul now belong to Lin Fengmian. Let alone some Sword Master, even if the Sect Master of the Heavenly Sword Sect came, she wouldn't give him a second glance.

She looked at Jian Tianyi, her tone indifferent:

"Fellow Swordsman, please be careful with your words. We have only had the intention of a marriage alliance at the family level, but I have never personally agreed to this marriage."

She paused, her voice growing increasingly cold.

"Therefore, please do not refer to yourself as 'fiancée'."

These words were utterly merciless, directly slapping Jian Tianyi in the face in front of everyone.

Jian Tianyi's expression stiffened, and before he could speak, Xiao Xiyue continued to add insult to injury:

"I like anything Junior Brother Lin gives me, regardless of its price."

She spoke with absolute certainty, without the slightest hesitation.

Fearing that she might cause trouble for Lin Fengmian, she wanted to make her words as absolute as possible, so that Jian Tianyi would give up completely and stop bothering her.

These words immediately caused an uproar among the surrounding cultivators.

"This...this is publicly rejecting the swordsman of the Heavenly Sword Sect!"

"How dare she! This is the Sword Prodigy of the Heavenly Sword Sect, and she dares to refuse him?"

"What's there to be afraid of? If someone doesn't like it, they just don't like it. Are you going to force yourself to do something like that?"

Amidst the murmurs, Chu Qingyi and Liu Shiyin also looked over.

Two pairs of beautiful eyes swept over Lin Fengmian, Xiao Xiyue, and Jian Tianyi, their gazes filled with a mixture of curiosity and amusement.

Chu Qingyi, in particular, felt a pang of sadness when she saw Xiao Xiyue's protective manner towards Lin Fengmian.

There was a time when she stood by Lin Fengmian's side without hesitation.

But now...

She sighed softly.

At this moment, Jian Tianyi's face had turned completely gloomy.

As the current Sword Master of the Heavenly Sword Sect, who in the entire Qingzhou wouldn't give him some face?

Even the leaders of top-tier sects would address him respectfully as "Sword Master".

But now—

He was publicly defended by a woman who was also his nominal fiancée!

How can he save face?

Jian Tianyi took a deep breath, suppressing his anger and refraining from lashing out on the spot.

He was, after all, a swordsman of the Heavenly Sword Sect, representing the sect's reputation. He couldn't afford to lose his composure in the street and give others ammunition against him.

He turned his gaze to Lin Fengmian, sizing him up and down, his tone arrogant:

Who are you?

He paused, a cold smile playing on his lips.

"This Junior Sister Xiao is my fiancée. It won't be long before my Jian family goes to the Xiao family to propose marriage. So I advise you to stay away from my fiancée."

He emphasized the words "fiancée" very heavily, as if to assert his ownership.

Lin Fengmian felt very uncomfortable listening to this.

He looked at the other person, who was clearly furious but was trying to maintain a composed demeanor, and sneered inwardly.

This person is more difficult to deal with than a reckless brute like Ye Fan who attacks right away. He knows how to maintain his image and won't easily give others any leverage against him.

but--

Lin Fengmian was least afraid of this kind of person.

He stepped forward and spoke in a manner that was neither humble nor arrogant:

"Fellow Daoist, my senior sister has already made it very clear. She has no feelings for you, so please step aside."

He paused, his tone calm.

"Don't get entangled here, lest you lose face for the Sword Master of the Heavenly Sword Sect."

This statement was perfectly watertight, clearly stating the position without giving the other party any excuse to retaliate.

Upon hearing this, Jian Tianyi snorted coldly.

He looked Lin Fengmian up and down, and seeing that the other party was wearing the disciple's robes of the Hehuan Sect, he immediately understood.

The Joyful Union Sect? Just disciples of a second-rate sect.

A disdainful sneer curled at the corner of his lips, his tone growing increasingly arrogant:

"Fellow Daoist, I heard you call my fiancée 'Senior Sister,' so you must be a disciple of the Joyful Union Sect."

He paused, his gaze carrying a hint of condescension.

"There are some things I still want to make clear to you, fellow Daoist. Some murky waters are not for a disciple of a second-rate sect to wade into."

This was said euphemistically, but the meaning was very clear—

You, a disciple of a second-rate sect, dare to steal my woman?

Lin Fengmian found it amusing to see the other person trying to maintain their composure while clearly wanting to get angry.

He knew in his heart that the way to deal with this hypocritical charlatan was to be direct and make him unable to keep up the act.

then--

Lin Fengmian spoke directly, his voice not loud, but clearly reaching the ears of everyone present:

"roll."

There is only one word.

Clean and efficient, without any hesitation or fuss.

These words were like a thunderclap!

The air around them seemed to freeze, and everyone stared wide-eyed at Lin Fengmian in disbelief.

What did he... say?

Tell the swordsmen of the Heavenly Sword Sect to get lost?

Is this person crazy?!

Jian Tianyi was also visibly stunned for a moment, a look of bewilderment flashing across his face.

As the sword disciple of the Heavenly Sword Sect, from childhood to adulthood, who dared to say "no" to him?

But now—

Someone actually told him to get lost in the street?

This……

What's going on?

He stood there, stunned, unsure how to react.

The surrounding cultivators were also filled with surprise, staring at Lin Fengmian in disbelief, unable to recover for a long time.

How dare this person tell the current Sword Master of the Heavenly Sword Sect to get lost?

They could hardly believe their ears.

"Who...who is this person? They're incredibly audacious!"

"That's the Sword Prodigy of the Heavenly Sword Sect! A top genius from a first-rate sect! How dare he speak like that?"

"Are you crazy? Do you not want to stay in Qingzhou anymore?"

Exclamations and murmurs rose and fell.

Jian Tianyi was still suppressing his anger and didn't lash out. But his two disciples behind him couldn't hold back any longer.

They were used to following Jian Tianyi and using his power to bully others; they had never been treated like this before.

A hot-tempered disciple immediately stepped forward, pointed at Lin Fengmian, and said with a ferocious expression:

"How dare you! You actually insult the current Sword Master of my Heavenly Sword Sect!"

Another disciple glared angrily, gritting his teeth:

"Kid, do you want to die?!"

Both of them exuded sword intent, looking ready to fight at the slightest provocation.

Lin Fengmian looked at the two of them in a fit of anger, but remained calm and chuckled.

He crossed his arms, his voice suddenly amplified, and addressed the two of them, his voice so loud it seemed as if he wanted everyone on the street to hear him:

"Wow, as expected of a disciple from a major sect, they're truly different!"

He shook his head, his tone exaggerated.
