"Are they trying to pierce the Yang family through and through?"
"Even the Yang family head, Yang Pingyu, was swiftly defeated. Could it be that only the innate realm expert Yang Pingchuan or the Yang family's old ancestor, Yang Kaitai, can make a move?"
"Even if they win, they can hardly recover the face lost today!"
"Indeed, but if they don't win, won't the Yang family become a joke today?"
At this moment, Yang Pingyu truly understood his son's feelings. He was utterly bewildered, as if he had suddenly fallen into an abyss. He had no psychological preparation whatsoever. That sword strike was too ferocious; he felt it was irresistible at the time.
Hearing the idle chatter, his expression turned even more grim. If he didn't regain his lost face, today's innate celebration would indeed become a farce.
"I can see that your elder brother was a bit careless. If he hadn't been careless, he would likely have lost too, just not so miserably!" said Luo Xiangning, the most beautiful woman in the jianghu twenty years ago, with a smile. "Do you want me to help teach this kid a lesson?"
As she spoke, she stared intently at Yang Feilong. He looked so cool and handsome fighting with sunglasses and a cowboy hat! Why was her heart beating faster?
Wait, what am I doing?
"No need." Yang Pingtian shook his head.
"If you don't let me help, are you really going to let your grandfather or yourself step in? Even if you win then, it will be very embarrassing, won't it?" Luo Xiangning chuckled softly.
"If you step in and win, who does it count for?" Yang Pingtian shook his head again. "Besides, recently the Yang family has become a bit too arrogant due to my breakthrough to the innate realm. It's good to douse them with a bucket of cold water to sober them up."
"If I step in and win, it will naturally count for the Yang family. I've been waiting for you for twenty years. Are you going to make me wait another twenty years?" Luo Xiangning said indignantly.
Yang Pingtian's breathing hitched, but his expression remained unmoved as he shook his head. "I've told you long ago that my heart is dead. I'm sorry that you've delayed for so long because of me, but I can't give you what you want! There are plenty of good men in the world. You just need to look carefully, and you'll surely find a better man than me."
"You..." Luo Xiangning gritted her teeth, infuriated.
This blockhead!
"Tell me, if I were to marry that spirited young man, Taishang, would your heart feel any better?" Luo Xiangning said coldly.
"If you like him, I'll be happy for you." Yang Pingtian's expression flickered slightly, but he quickly continued, his demeanor calm and undisturbed, showing no anger.
Looking at the completely unmoved Yang Pingtian, Luo Xiangning felt what it meant to have unrequited love; he was like a stubborn, hard rock.
"You're an idiot!" Luo Xiangning cursed through gritted teeth. "I'm such an idiot for liking you for so many years!"
Just then, Yang Feilong's voice rang out again: "That's it? Is that all?"
Hearing "That's it? Is that all?", Luo Xiangning's anger towards Yang Pingtian shifted to Yang Feilong.
She felt as if Yang Feilong was mocking her.
So, in the next moment, she flashed and leaped onto the stage.
Seeing Luo Xiangning appear on the stage,
The stands erupted in a clamor.
"Why did Luo Xiangning appear?"
"Luo Xiangning is one of the top experts of the Luo family. Why is she helping the Yang family?"
"It's rumored that Luo Xiangning likes Yang Pingtian. Now, the only two people left who can defeat that kid are the Yang family elder and Yang Pingtian. It's awkward for either of them to make a move. She has a good relationship with Yang Pingtian, so it's understandable she'd step in! Perhaps by helping the Yang family out of this predicament, she can marry into the Yang family anytime now."
"But why do I feel that's not quite right?"
"Why not? Look at Luo Xiangning's furious expression, it's clearly empathy!"
"No, I saw her seeming to be angry with Yang Pingtian earlier!"
"If they were angry, how could she still be stepping up for the Yang family? It's good enough that she's not kicking them when they're down."
Amidst the uproar,
"Are you blabbering endlessly?" Luo Xiangning, who had just leaped onto the stage, glared at Yang Feilong with knitted brows and gritted teeth.
Looking at Yang Feilong, even though he wore sunglasses, she felt as if he had transformed into the Yang Pingtian of his youth.
She had liked Yang Pingtian's personality when he was young, but after waiting for twenty years, she was met with distance and indifference. Her heart had died. Seeing Yang Feilong, who looked so much like Yang Pingtian in his youth, she became increasingly displeased.
Therefore, she wanted to beat him, to beat him severely!
"Auntie, if I'm not mistaken, you're not a member of the Yang family, are you?" Yang Feilong frowned, looking at her coldly. This woman's entanglement with Yang Pingtian gave him no good impression of either of them.
"Who are you calling auntie? You're the auntie! What does it matter if I'm a member of the Yang family or not? I just don't like the look of you!" Luo Xiangning unleashed a torrent of words at Yang Feilong like a machine gun, behaving like a madwoman who had lost all reason!
Yang Feilong was splattered with her spittle, which he found quite repulsive. He wiped his face and shook his head.
Although Yang Feilong wore sunglasses, his actions clearly conveyed his disgust.
After being rejected by Yang Pingtian, and now being disdained by a junior, Luo Xiangning's face, which at forty years old was still as smooth as a peach, visibly flushed with rage.
In the next moment, a whip appeared in Luo Xiangning's hand!
"What do you want? I'm telling you, if you really make a move, I won't go easy on you!" Yang Feilong's expression changed, and he said.
"Then make your move!" As she spoke, Luo Xiangning whipped the whip towards Yang Feilong.
At this moment, her face showed a look of catharsis, as if she were whipping Yang Pingtian, the unfaithful scoundrel.
Yang Feilong had truly been caught in the crossfire. However, Yang Feilong also had little good feeling for this woman, as she seemed to be entangled with that man. Since she was stepping up for the Yang family without discerning right from wrong, he would make her realize that stepping up sometimes comes with embarrassment!
Boom!
Yang Feilong moved, flashing to dodge the lightning-fast whip. His face darkened: "Are you serious?"
"Who's playing with you? Today, either you kill me, or I kill you!" Luo Xiangning said hatefully to Yang Feilong.
Hum!
Another whip strike came, like a clap of thunder, lashing towards Yang Feilong.
Yang Feilong was utterly enraged. This woman was truly going all out!
What enmity, what hatred?
It should be me hating you!
In the next moment, he retaliated, drawing his long sword and slashing fiercely at the incoming whip.
Bang!
A world-shattering explosion suddenly erupted.
The whip staggered and flew backward, while Yang Feilong, like a ferocious tiger, charged towards Luo Xiangning. His sword was like a rainbow, and his sword energy was like rain. If this strike landed, Luo Xiangning would be dead or severely injured!
