The three, including Lin Jing, who were engaged in conversation up front, also hurriedly looked up and gazed ahead.
Right across from them, two figures were walking towards themâ¦
The one leading the way had the air of a dashing young master, clad in white, appearing quite charming and suave.
Following behind him, with bowed head, was none other than Liu Yiyuan, whom they hadnât seen in a long time.
Seeing the newcomers, Ning Yueâs face turned exceedingly ugly on the spot.
Witnessing this, Lin Jing sensed trouble. It seemed Ning Yue must have caught sight of Liu Yiyuan and was reminded of past eventsâ¦
To prevent Ning Yue from becoming too impulsive, Lin Jing quickly tried to console her:
âNing, my friend, that is Liu Yiyuan from the Liu Clan of Nanshan Immortal City. His family boasts two Golden Core Immortals. Heâs not someone to provoke lightlyâ¦â
âDonât act rashlyâ¦â
âYouâre talking about Liu Yiyuan, but who is he?â
As soon as Lin Jing finished speaking, Ning Yue turned her head, looking at him with confusion.
Seeing Ning Yueâs reaction, Lin Jing was somewhat flabbergasted, his face a picture of bafflement.
âIsnât it, Ning Yue actually doesnât recognize Liu Yiyuan?â
âThen why did her face look so terrible just now?â
Lin Jing couldnât help but muse inwardly.
Seeing that Lin Jing didnât respond, Ning Yue turned her head back towards the opposite side.
Suddenly, her gaze drifted to the sideâ¦
And it was just at that moment that Liu Yiyuan raised his headâ¦
After clearly seeing the manâs face, Ning Yueâs expression grew even uglierâ¦
âItâs actually himâ¦â
Seeing this manâs face brought to mind that perilous moment from the past.
Back then, in a desperate bid to save his own life, he had thrown Luo Luo towards the Flame Poison Centipedeâ¦
If it werenât for Lin Jingâs timely rescue at the critical moment, she and Luo Luo would have likely perished at the fangs of the Flame Poison Centipede three years agoâ¦
She had thought all was in the past, that she would never encounter this man againâ¦
Yet, to her surprise, she ran into him here, of all placesâ¦
And this man was with another person she found most distastefulâ¦
At this momentâ¦
Liu Yiyuan and the charming young master also noticed Lin Jingâs group.
The scornful gaze of the young master swept over the group, and upon seeing Ning Yue, a wicked smirk appeared on his lips before he boldly strode toward themâ¦
Lin Jing and the others frowned deeply at the sight of this approaching young master.
âSo this is who it is, my would-be concubine who has yet to cross my thresholdâ¦â
âWhatâ¦?â
âHave you grown tired of waiting at home and come to warm your husbandâs bed?â
Hearing these words, Lin Jing and the others realized who this man was.
Turns out, he was the Yun Familyâs Young Master.
At this point, Lin Jing finally understood why Ning Yueâs face had been so unsightly earlier.
Nonetheless, it was unclear why he had joined forces with Liu Yiyuan.
âYun Long, the outcome of this matter is still uncertain, and if you dare to spout nonsense again, Iâll kill youâ¦â
Out of extreme anger, Ning Yueâs face turned steel blue as she spoke to the Yun Family Young Master.
Her hands, too, were clenched tightly at this moment.
It seemed she was struggling to control her emotionsâ¦
Fearing she might lose restraint and attack in the street.
In response, Li Tangyu stepped forward with a serious expression and said to the Yun Family Young Master:
âEsteemed fellow, Miss Ning is a friend of mine. Please show her some respect.â
But the Yun Family Young Master disregarded Li Tangyuâs words and continued to taunt Ning Yue:
âOh, oh, ohâ¦â
âYou, wanting to kill meâ¦â
âYouâre barely at the primary stage of Foundation Establishment. Do you really have the strength?â
Thenâ¦
He scanned the group, pointing towards Li Tangyu and Huang Qingling and said:
âAll of you, apart from himâ¦â
âAnd that beauty there.â
âThe rest probably canât even withstand a single strike from meâ¦â
Such arrogance from the Yun Family Young Master suggested his Cultivation was not lowâ¦
And he had instantly seen through everyoneâs level of Cultivation.
Li Tangyu, who had just advanced to the peak of Foundation Establishment not long ago, had his level discerned, suggesting that the Young Master was at least of peak Foundation Establishment Cultivation himselfâ¦
Having spoken, the Yun Family Young Master then turned to Liu Yiyuan and said:
âThe ones who caused your Heart Demon, it wouldnât be these two, would itâ¦â
The fact that Liu Yiyuan had developed a Heart Demon was known only within the Liu Clan and not to outsiders.
Yet the Yun Family Young Master brazenly revealed this secret, demonstrating that he was not just arrogant, but also dismissive of Liu Yiyuanâs presence at his side.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Having his embarrassing secret exposed, Liu Yiyuan was seething with anger, his head bowed and fists clenched, yet he dared not lash outâ¦
Because the Yun Family was too powerful for the Liu Clan to provoke.
Moreover, earlier onâ¦
The Wu Cai Immortal had warned him that the Yun Family Young Master was not to be provoked but to be appeased, as it concerned the Liu Clanâs future destinyâ¦
Yun Long saw Liu Yiyuanâs reaction and seemed unconcerned, but suddenly remarked:
âIf it werenât for our Yun Familyâs assistance, youâd probably still be stuck at the primary stage of Foundation Establishmentâ¦
This statement was clearly meant as a warning.
It was evident he was aware of Liu Yiyuanâs discontent.
Hearing this, Liu Yiyuan gradually unclenched his fists.
He then took a moment to collect himself before pointing towards Li Tangyu, addressing the Yun Family Young Master:
âYoung Master Yun, this is Young Master Li Tan from the Li Family, Li Tangyu.â
After finishing his introduction, Liu Yiyuan pointed towards Lin Jing and continued:
âThe one who aggrieved me was himâ¦â
The Yun Family Young Master followed Liu Yiyuanâs pointing finger and, seeing Lin Jing merely had the Cultivation of Qi Refinementâs eighth level, he burst into uproarious laughter:
âHahahaâ¦â
âQi Refinementâs eighth level, and you, a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, are troubled by a Heart Demon because of an ant like himâ¦â
