”I’m only seventeen.”

Ling Xiao glanced around evasively. Though he seemed quite carefree usually, when it came to women, he was still a novice. How could he resist a pretty girl’s flirtations?

”What does seventeen matter? On the White Tiger Continent, marriage and childbirth at sixteen are common.”

Liu Lian bit her lip lightly and said, ”Unless you look down on me, think I’m beneath you.”

”I already have a woman I like.”

Ling Xiao said simply.

”I don’t care.”

Liu Lian shook her head very decisively, without a trace of hesitation, as if she had already made up her mind long ago.

”But I care.”

Ling Xiao shook his head.

Just as Liu Lian was about to say something else, there was suddenly a commotion below.

”Something’s wrong, Sun Wu Shuang from the Sun Family has brought people here, probably intending to forcibly take Miss away.”

Upon hearing this, Liu Lian’s brow furrowed, then she glanced at Ling Xiao and said, ”If you don’t want me, then today I’ll only prove my determination with death. No matter what, I will never yield to that Sun Wu Shuang.”

Liu Lian jumped from the rooftop onto the courtyard. At this moment, Lord Liu and the two elders also happened to come out.

”Lian’er, did you catch up with Young Master Ling?”

Lord Liu asked.

Liu Lian nodded, appearing slightly lost and bewildered.

”Ah, my dear girl, if he wants to leave, then let him leave. You and he are impossible!”

Lord Liu sighed, ”Even if you truly like him, being with him would only harm him. Could he possibly be stronger than Sun Wu Shuang?

He’s inferior to Sun Wu Shuang and even killed Sun Wu Ji’s brother, Sun Wu Ji. Can he survive?

It’s not that your father looks down on Young Master Ling, but reality is too harsh to allow anyone to go against it.”

Upon hearing this, Liu Lian’s gaze gradually cleared, losing the bewildered look it had before.

Indeed, as her father said, Ling Xiao’s cultivation level is only at the Yin-Yang Realm Fourth Layer, and although he possesses mysterious abilities, the vast gap in cultivation levels cannot be bridged by those peculiar powers.

It turns out she almost truly harmed Ling Xiao!

”You rejected me because you’re afraid of Sun Wu Shuang, aren’t you?”

Liu Lian looked up at the sky and said forlornly.

This sentence made Ling Xiao, who was preparing to leave, stay.

What kind of joke is that? Would Ling Xiao be afraid of a martial artist with a Yin-Yang Realm Seventh Level cultivation?

Meanwhile, in front of the Willis Clan’s house, it was already bustling.

Sun Wu Shuang had brought people to the Willis Clan, causing a stir on the entire street.

The Sun Family was extremely powerful, certainly considered one of the major families in Tianhai City.

Among the younger generation, four had made it into the candidates for the White Tiger Summit.

Sun Wu Ji, Sun Wu Shuang, Sun Yuan Ji, Shaw Little Monster.

Out of the four, Sun Wu Ji was the weakest, already killed by Ling Xiao.

Sun Wu Shuang, of a higher level, had his sights set on Liu Lian.

Sun Yuan Ji, the half-brother of the first two, was even stronger.

But the most fearsome had to be Shaw Little Monster, one of the Four Ferocious Beasts of Tianhai Holy Institution.

Ranked among the Heavenly Sea Seven Little Saints.

Incredibly powerful.

Also the Sun Family’s greatest reliance.

He was an orphan picked up by the Sun Family from outside, allegedly raised by a demon beast until he was seven months old, hence the name Shaw Little Monster.

”It’s a pity, had Liu Lian not been afflicted by poison, her talent wouldn’t be inferior to Shaw Little Monster.”

”That’s true, but there’s no ’might have been’ in this world. She’s now just a little martial artist at the First Level of the Yin-Yang Realm, yet keeps delaying marrying Sun Wu Shuang, this time she might have pushed him too far.”

”Sun Wu Shuang is indeed quite aggressive, giving no regard to the Willis Clan.”

”What does it matter if he doesn’t? It’s because the Sun Family is strong enough, because Sun Wu Shuang has a good brother like Shaw Little Monster.”

In the end, the Willis Clan is just a wealthy family; the Sun Family is a noble family, willing to take Liu Lian as a concubine, that’s already showing face.

That girl just doesn’t appreciate kindness.”

Among the crowd, while some sympathized with Liu Lian, most thought the Sun Family’s actions were perfectly reasonable.

In this Mysterious World where the weak are prey to the strong, strength and influence are the only standards.

If you’re strong enough, you can surpass the laws to do whatever you wish.

Even if the Sun Family actually destroyed the Willis Clan, no one would care.

Such is the cruel reality.

Ling Xiao sat on the rooftop, coldly watching these people’s discussions, a hint of icy sharpness in his eyes.

Although he rejected Liu Lian’s offer to give herself to him, his affection for this girl was genuine.

Since he hadn’t left, he decided to see how things would unfold.

When Sun Wu Shuang arrived at the Willis Clan’s house with a group of Sun Family martial artists, the two elders were already eagerly greeting them.

”Young Master Wushuang, greetings!”

Their attitude truly resembled that of slaves raised by the Sun Family.

”Greetings, greetings.”

Sun Wu Shuang waved his hand casually, then looked at Lord Liu and said, ”Father-in-law, I’ve come to marry Lian’er, and I’ve brought generous gifts.”

After he spoke, boxes of items were carried out and opened.

Spirit Stones, precious herbs, pills, Magical Treasures, Talisman Seals, various rare materials.

Filled over a hundred boxes, invaluable.

The onlookers watched with envy, wishing their own daughters were chosen by Sun Wu Shuang.

However, Lord Liu looked down on these items.

The Willis Clan is, after all, a wealthy family; they have these things themselves and won’t sell their daughter.

Moreover, he’s a very loving father.

”Young Master Wushuang, why don’t you come inside the hall and rest first? There are some things I need to report.”

The Second Elder said in a lowered voice.

At this moment, the two corpses in the hall hadn’t been dealt with yet. The Second Elder was clearly going to tell Sun Wu Shuang about Sun Wu Ji’s murder, hoping Sun Wu Shuang would avenge the Grand Elder.

”Rest for what? As long as Lian’er agrees, I can marry her into the Sun Family immediately. She’s my cousin, we have a family connection, why follow so many rules?”

Sun Wu Shuang waved his hand dismissively.

The Second Elder was helpless, only able to lean into Sun Wu Shuang to briefly explain things.

”What!”

Upon hearing this, Sun Wu Shuang became furious.

Sun Wu Ji was his younger brother and one of the candidates competing in the White Tiger Summit, and he’d been killed?

”Who did it?”

Sun Wu Shuang asked coldly.

”A kid named Ling, living in Yingjie Building, acquainted with Ji Luoyu.”

The Second Elder quickly replied.

”Ling Xiao, I assume?”

Sun Wu Shuang, being part of the Sun Family, was aware of who lived in Yingjie Building. Hearing the Second Elder’s words, he instantly remembered.

”Yes, yes, Ling Xiao. He not only killed Sun Wu Ji but also the Grand Elder, utterly wicked!”

The Third Elder chimed in.

”Second Elder, Third Elder, you really know how to lie. Wasn’t the Grand Elder killed by Sun Wu Ji? And Sun Wu Ji was killed in the Grand Elder’s counterattack, how did it get linked to Brother Ling?”

Liu Lian’s way of addressing Ling Xiao changed three times in one day, indicating her feelings for Ling Xiao were deepening.
