Fantasy, starting with a treasure bowl

"Master! Actually, I...!"

Lin Xiaoyu's pretty face was full of hesitation, and her tone was somewhat hesitant, as if she had something on her mind.

"Master! I beg you, have mercy and spare Senior Brother Gongsun's life...!"

With her pearly teeth clenched around her lips, Lin Xiaoyu seemed to have finally made up her mind. She suddenly knelt down and kowtowed to Lu Feng, pleading anxiously as if she didn't want to watch Gongsun Jian and the others die at Lu Feng's hands.

"Spare Gongsun Jian's life?"

Upon hearing Lin Xiaoyu's plea, Lu Feng's brows furrowed deeply, forming a deep frown. "Xiaoyu, you should know that I never let a tiger return to the mountain, even if you were my former beloved disciple..."

Lu Feng's tone remained solemn, while a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes.

Because he simply couldn't understand why Lin Xiaoyu would take the initiative to plead for Gongsun Jian.

After all, the other party clearly had no good feelings towards Gongsun Jian and wished that this leech of Gongsun Jian would stay away from them.

Logically speaking, Lu Feng's killing of Gongsun Jian should be a good thing for Lin Xiaoyu!

"Master, I'm sorry!"

"Please forgive Xiaoyu's impolite request...!"

Seemingly anticipating Lu Feng's doubts, Lin Xiaoyu lowered her head even further and kowtowed three times in succession, saying, "Senior Brother Gongsun was kind to me in the past and was also my savior. I really can't bear to see him die like this..."

"Master! I understand your principles, but I still couldn't help making this impolite request. If you are unwilling to grant it, I will not be dissatisfied. I'm sorry...!"

After pouring out all her thoughts in one breath, Lin Xiaoyu knelt down again, her pretty face slightly flushed, as if she had resigned herself to her fate.

"Junior Sister Lin, how could you...!"

Upon seeing this, Gongsun Jian, who had originally thought he was doomed, froze, his face filled with disbelief.

Because he never imagined that Lin Xiaoyu, who used to be indifferent to him and even a bit aloof, would now be kneeling in front of Lu Feng, pleading for his life!

"..."

Faced with Lin Xiaoyu's kneeling pleas for mercy, Lu Feng's brows remained furrowed, and he remained silent, seemingly wavering and hesitant as well.

"Hey! Lu Feng, you're not really going to let these two go, are you? There's an old saying, 'Womanly compassion is no excuse'..."

Seeing Lu Feng fall silent and stand motionless, Yan Wu beside him grew anxious and coldly warned, "Those two bastards from the Tai Chi Sword Sect were just trying to kill you. If you let them go now, you'll face endless trouble in the future..."

"That's enough!"

However, in response to Yan Wu's reminder, Lu Feng suddenly raised his hand to interrupt, and at the same time turned his head to glance at Qin Xuanzhong and the others who were badly injured, "You two, get lost!"

"From this day forward, don't ever show your face in front of me again, or I'll make you regret ever being born! Get out...!"

"What did you say?!"

Seeing that Lu Feng really wouldn't kill him, not only was Gongsun Jian stunned, but Qin Xuanzhong next to him also looked incredulous, as if he couldn't believe his ears.

After all, according to normal people's logic, the enmity between Qin Xuanzhong and others and Lu Feng is irreconcilable. For the latter to not only not kill them, but also take the initiative to let them leave is almost a fantasy!

"You old thief, where do you think you're going!"

"Five Flames!"

Seeing Qin Xuanzhong and the others trying to escape, Yan Wu instinctively reached out to attack again, but before he could do so, he was interrupted by Lu Feng's sharp shout, "I don't like to repeat myself..."

"I already said, let them go!"

Lu Feng's face was cold and stern, his eyes were like torches, and his fists clenched tightly under his sleeves, as if he were ready to fight Yan Wu head-on.

"Damn it, Lu Tianxuan! I must have done something terrible in my past life to end up with such a pair of weird and difficult-to-please father and son...!"

Seeing this, Yan Wu frowned at first, then shrugged helplessly, sighing and shaking his head repeatedly, "Hey! Fine, do whatever you want, kid. What can I do? I must have owed you and your father something in my past life..."

After all, he owed Lu Tianxuan a debt of gratitude and promised to take good care of Lin Yunyuan and Lu Feng's wife and child. How could he bear to attack Lu Feng now?

"Junior Sister Lin, thank you!"

Having escaped death, Gongsun Jian looked at Lin Xiaoyu with gratitude, then couldn't help but say, "Junior Sister Lin! I know you still have feelings for me. Actually, I feel...!"

"Gongsun Jian, please have some self-respect!"

Before the other party could finish speaking, Lin Xiaoyu interrupted him in a deep voice, her pretty face gradually turning cold, "Gongsun Jian, I have repaid the life-saving grace you once owed me in full. From now on, we are even, and our debts are severed!"

"From this day forward, if I ever see you speak disrespectfully to my master again, or even plot against him, I will kill you with my own hands!!"

"Furthermore, from this day forward, I, Lin Xiaoyu, will officially withdraw from the Tai Chi Sword Sect...!"

After saying that, Lin Xiaoyu ignored Gongsun Jian, who was staring blankly to the side, and turned to leave without looking back, clearly having made up her mind!

"Junior Sister Lin?!"

Seeing that Lin Xiaoyu had not only completely severed ties with him, but was also leaving the Taiji Sword Sect, Gongsun Jian's expression changed drastically. He immediately rushed forward, seemingly intending to persuade her to stay.

"No! Junior Sister Lin...! Don't leave me! Lin...uh, pfft!"

Gongsun Jian was rambling incoherently, his eyes glazed over, as if his Dao heart had been shattered. Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly vomited blood and collapsed to the ground, his life hanging in the balance.

"Jian'er? Jian'er! Wake up!..."

Seeing Gongsun Jian suddenly vomit blood and collapse, Qin Xuanzhong, who was standing nearby, was also thrown into a panic. He immediately rushed forward to help him up, crying, "Jian'er! You mustn't get hurt...!"

"If something happens to you, how am I supposed to explain it to my senior brother, the sect leader, when we return to the sect...!"

Qin Xuanzhong's brows were furrowed, and his face was gloomy, as if he had died even more than if his parents had died.

After all, the other party is not only the number one young person in the Taiji Sword Sect, but also the only outstanding disciple under the current sect leader Yin Xuanxing!

If something were to happen to Gongsun Jian now, even though Qin Xuanzhong himself is one of the Five Heavenly Venerables of the Taiji Sword Sect, he would not be able to explain it to his senior brother, the sect leader Yin Xuanxing, and would ultimately be in deep trouble!

"Tch, this kid may not be dead, but he's practically useless now..."

Seeing this, Yan Wu, who was also watching the show, couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, revealing a hint of disdain.

Because, in the cultivation world of mainland China, the most important thing that most martial arts practitioners rely on is nothing more than their spirit.

Once one loses all ambition and shatters one's Dao heart, no matter how diligently one studies and practices in the future, it will be difficult to achieve great things!

Just like Gongsun Jian, whose Dao heart is shattered, since the last bit of spirit in his heart has dissipated, even if he is still alive and barely clinging to life, he will not amount to anything in the future and will pose no threat to Lu Feng!

"Master, I'm so sorry...!"

Returning to Lu Feng's side, Lin Xiaoyu immediately knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly, saying, "Master! Today's actions were solely my own willful act, and I am willing to bear all the consequences...!"

"Master! No matter how you scold me, punish me, or even kill me with your sword, I will never utter a word of complaint...!"

As Lin Xiaoyu knelt and kowtowed to Lu Feng, she spoke softly and weakly, her pretty face full of trepidation, and even a bead of sweat dripping from her forehead.

Clearly, he knew that he had just pleaded for Gongsun Jian and the others, which not only violated Lu Feng's principles of conduct, but also left the latter with a potential threat!
