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

Lin Fengmian, with an air of superiority and nostrils pointing to the sky, hummed in agreement and strode past, perfectly mimicking Situ Feng's arrogant demeanor.

Before long, the group approached the core area of ​​the water dungeon where Gongsun Gaishi was imprisoned.

Two guards in black armor stood with guns in front of a heavy iron gate.

Upon seeing Lin Fengmian and his two companions approach, one of them stepped forward and blocked their path.

"What do you mean? You even dare to stop me?"

Lin Fengmian mimicked Situ Feng's arrogant tone, raising an eyebrow and letting out a snort.

He stared down at the guard.

The guard looked extremely troubled, cupped his hands and bowed, saying:

"Young Master Feng, it's not that I'm trying to stop you, it's just that the Ancestor has given an order that anyone who wants to enter, except for the Ancestor himself, needs to have their hand warrant checked."

This subordinate is merely following orders. Young Master, you should still…

"Smack!"

Before he could finish speaking, Lin Fengmian slapped him across the face!

The sharp sound was particularly jarring in the narrow passageway.

The guard was spun around three times before finally stopping, a bright red handprint instantly swelling on his left cheek, and blood seeping from the corner of his mouth.

He covered his face, completely stunned. Before he could react, he saw Lin Fengmian pull out the black token from his robes.

It hit him squarely in the face.

"See that? This is the warrant my sister gave me!"

Lin Fengmian raised his voice, his tone becoming increasingly impatient:

"This is so annoying! They insisted that I come over and try to pry open that old guy's mouth! And you dare to stop me?"

I can't get in, so go ahead and use all the torture I've prepared on you!

The guard was knocked off balance and staggered. He looked down at the token and his face turned deathly pale.

He no longer cared about the pain on his face and nodded repeatedly, as if pounding garlic:

"Young Master, please come in! Please come in! It was my fault for being blind! It was my fault for being blind! I hindered your business!"

As he spoke, he quickly turned around and hurriedly took out a bronze plaque covered with runes from his pocket, sticking it onto the groove of the black iron gate.

With a muffled rumbling sound, the heavy gate slowly opened to both sides, revealing a deep, damp passage.

Lin Fengmian snorted coldly, picked up the token that had fallen to the ground, dusted it off, and swaggered inside with the two women.

Upon entering the cell, a strong, pungent stench of blood mixed with the distinctive musty smell of the water prison assaulted my senses.

Lin Fengmian choked and instinctively wrinkled his nose.

After walking about ten or twenty feet, the view suddenly opened up before us.

A massive water dungeon appeared before them, with a dark pool of water in the center of the cell.

The water surface shimmered with a dark green luster, and faint traces of rust were visible on the bottom of the water, where iron chains lay submerged.

Above the pool hung a specially made black iron cage, inside which an elderly man with white hair was chained by several thick iron chains.

His arms were hoisted high, his clothes were tattered, and the bloodstains had long since dried and turned black.

It was Gongsun Gaishi.

Upon seeing Lin Fengmian, who was playing Situ Feng, approach, Gongsun Gaishi didn't even bother to lift his eyelids, but spoke in a hoarse voice.

His tone was laced with undisguised sarcasm and disdain:

"You little beast from the Situ family, what brings you here? Your son of a bitch grandfather and father, you couldn't get anything out of me... and you won't either!"

Although his voice was weak and barely audible, it still conveyed a sense of righteousness, pride, and unyielding spirit.

Gongsun Mili and Gongsun Chan stood behind Lin Fengmian, their hearts breaking at the sight of his miserable state.

The pressure of her fingernails digging into her palm increased even more.

Blood dripped silently from between his fingers, landing on the damp ground and quickly seeping into the soil.

Lin Fengmian's roguish smile faded slightly.

His gaze swept quickly across the entire water prison, his spiritual sense secretly probing out.

Sure enough, he immediately sensed the presence of that old devil, Li Cheng.

At this moment, the old fellow was lurking in a hidden node above the water prison, like an invisible shadow, attached to the dark side of the array hub.

The next moment, Li Cheng's sarcastic voice rang out directly in Lin Fengmian's sea of ​​consciousness:

"Young man, you've finally arrived. I thought you'd been drunk and passed out in that harem!"

Lin Fengmian remained outwardly calm, but inwardly sneered:

"I'm telling you, old man, are you even capable?! My father-in-law and second uncle both self-destructed, and you didn't even try to save them! Were you even a Nascent Soul cultivator back then?!"

Upon hearing this, Li Cheng instantly flew into a rage, his voice booming deafeningly in Lin Fengmian's mind:

"Bullshit! You're just talking without any sense of the situation!"

The Situ family's water dungeon is a series of interconnected restrictions, with layers upon layers of limitations, making it extremely time-consuming to break through!

Besides, you know my body is just a tattered corpse puppet, unable to unleash even a tenth of my strength! Furthermore—"

He paused, his voice suddenly lowering slightly:

"When I arrived, your father-in-law and second uncle had already self-destructed!"

How can I save you? Do you think I'm some kind of dual cultivation technique that can turn back time?

Lin Fengmian's lips twitched slightly. He didn't argue with him anymore, took out a bottle of high-quality healing pills from his storage bag, and casually tossed it aside.

He hurled the weapon precisely at the hidden spot where Li Cheng was concealing himself: "Alright, alright, hurry up and recover. Follow my instructions in a moment."

Li Cheng took the pill, snorted coldly, and said nothing more, clearly also wanting to make the most of his time to recover.

Lin Fengmian then waved his hand, setting up a simple isolation array that enveloped the entire core area of ​​the water prison.

After doing all this, his body and face underwent a violent fluctuation, and in the blink of an eye, he returned to his original appearance.

He rushed to the iron cage in one stride, lowering his voice and speaking urgently:

"Grandmaster! It's me! Lin Fengmian! Look closely, it's me!"

The sudden turn of events caused Gongsun Gaishi to abruptly open his cloudy eyes.

He struggled to lift his head, and when he saw Lin Fengmian's familiar face...

His eyes suddenly flashed with an incredulous light.

His chapped lips trembled: "It's...it's you, you brat?!"

"grandfather!"

"father--!"

Gongsun Mili and Gongsun Chan could no longer hold back.

The two women rushed to the edge of the black iron cage, clutching the cold iron chains, and wept uncontrollably.

Lin Fengmian quickly took out a drop of crystal-clear spiritual spring water and carefully poured it into Gongsun Gaishi's dry, pale lips:

"Master, quickly take this to heal your wounds! We'll find a way to get you out of here!"

The drop of spiritual spring water melted instantly upon entering the mouth, and boundless vitality and pure spiritual power surged to every part of the body, like parched earth receiving sweet rain.

Within Gongsun Gaishi's damaged meridians, faint layers of spiritual light emanated.

His previously ashen face regained some color at a visible speed, and his spirits lifted instantly!
