"Humph, leave this brat here, you can leave now." He hadn't slept well for the past few days, not because he was afraid of punishment, but because he was very regretful and afraid that someone would die just like that.

"Hehe! Old Master Bu, it is precisely because of this that I came here. It was indeed a mistake on the part of the second prince this time. The emperor also said that he would give old master Bu a satisfactory answer." Bai Ling's face sank. It was clear that she was serious.

"Hmph, an explanation? Let's see how you will explain this! Other than this brat's life, there's no need to talk about anything else! " Bu Batian also knew that since Bai Ling brought him here, this brat's life would definitely not be handed over.

"Grandpa Bu, it's all my fault. I failed for a moment …" Long Yi stood there and spoke. His body was weak because he hadn't eaten for a few days. Pain had been plastered all over his face.

"Is Bu Jinghua awake?" Long Yi asked in a hoarse voice. His scarlet eyes were filled with prayers. He really hoped that Bu Jinghua would wake up, but he chose to refuse to answer.

"That's none of your business! Hmph!" "Don't pretend to think that I will let you off!" Bu Batian looked at the scratched face and heard that it was caused by Bu Jinghua. From the looks of it, it was indeed a sight to behold. How could Jinghua leave such an ugly mark on that face? It seems like this kid, Jinghua, is still sensible.

It was definitely a good thing to think that her granddaughter was no longer blindly infatuated with Long Yi. Even though he was a bit happy, Bu Batian did not let him show even the slightest bit of his joy.

"Grandpa Bu, it is only right that you anger me. I came here today to beg for forgiveness. I hope you can forgive me!" Finished speaking, he took out a long vine from his back, and handed it over to Bu Batian, "You can fight me then, and use your strength until you forgive me!" Long Yi knelt down on one knee and handed the vine to Bu Batian.

The fact that a prince could actually do something so disgraceful was a huge shock to Bu Batian.

As Bu Batian looked at the dragon chow, which was filled with sincerity and didn't seem to be putting on a show at all, he didn't know what to say. For a prince to do such a thing, if he were to reject it, it would be unjustifiable. However, if he were to reject it, wasn't it a bit too petty?

Just that, how many times did he have to hit it? It was true that he couldn't get rid of the hatred in his heart.

"Grandpa Bu, come on!" Seeing that Bu Batian was hesitating, Long Yi lifted up the rattan again.

Bu Batian did not accept the idea of standing with his hands behind his back. If this was only a plot by the dragon shield, then the reasoning on his side might have changed.

Seeing that Bu Batian was still angrily standing there, Long Yi didn't hesitate anymore and handed the rattan vine to Bai Ling.

"State Grandmaster Bai, you come!" Long Yi looked firmly at Bai Ling and nodded affirmatively at him.

"Second Prince …" Bai Ling also did not expect this. She originally thought that the Second Prince was only here to show off. She did not expect him to be so serious.

"Don't hesitate, come! As long as Grandpa Bu did not forgive me, you cannot stop. This is an order! " After saying that, he shoved the vine into Bai Ling's hands and took off his jacket, revealing his clean and white back. He then bent down on one knee and said, "Come!" He had the determination to lose an arm.

Command? Even the dragon shield couldn't command him. Bai Ling and the dragon shield were monarchs in front of outsiders, but in reality, they were just working together. This brat actually dared to say 'command'. Hmph! Bai Ling faintly smiled.

However, he still gripped the long whip and fiercely swung it at Long Yi's back. Immediately, Long Yi staggered and almost fell to the ground. A red whip mark immediately appeared on his smooth back, slightly seeping blood and ferociously splitting open, how could it be described with the word 'terrifying'?

Long Yi was in so much pain that his whole body was trembling, but he just clenched his teeth and steadied himself, before saying: "Continue!" That stubbornness did not shrink back at all.

"Pah!" With another sound, another ferocious blood-red whip mark appeared on Long Yi's back. Long Yi clenched his teeth again and pushed through. "Come on!" he shouted.

"Pah!" Three, smack! Four, smack! Five, "Pa!" Six …

The bright red whip marks seemed to be addicted as they climbed up onto the dragon's back one by one. In an instant, the smooth white back was covered in a ferocious blood-red color.

Long Yi clenched his teeth tightly, and occasionally the sounds of grinding could be heard. His haggard face was already covered with beads of sweat the size of mung beans. They dropped drop by drop onto the ground while condensing on his face.

Even Bu Jingwan felt his heart go soft when he saw this scene. He stared at the mangled back with a face filled with shock.

He did not understand why Long Yi had come to beg forgiveness, and even acted out the true story of the whipping person, especially Bai Ling. She clearly knew that the one who was whipping was the Second Prince, but she did not use any force.

"Again, if Grandpa Bu doesn't say 'stop', you can't stop!" Long Yi gritted his teeth and hugged Bai Ling. However, he still forced himself to order Bai Ling.

Bu Batian stood there, watching the scene unfold before him. He had a soft thought in his heart, but when he thought about how his darling granddaughter was about to be killed, he felt a surge of anger.

Bai Ling let out a cold laugh and the whip fell down once again. The strength of the whip did not decrease but increased. It hit the back of the vicious dragon feed and made a loud sound. It made Bai Ling's heart tremble.

Staring at that scarlet back, Bu Jingwan did not dare to continue looking. He turned his head to the side, feeling pity for Long Yaowu, and his colleagues especially admired his endurance and courage.

He had always thought that Tang Wulin was just a prince who was worried about where he could be raised, but he never thought that the scene that played out today would completely change Bu Jingwan's opinion of him.

"En!" Gritting his teeth, Long Yi couldn't help but let out a muffled groan of pain, but he didn't stop.

The whip was still rising and falling, and Long Zhaofeng's hands were first placed on his knees, before gradually falling to the ground. In the end, his entire body fell to the ground because he couldn't take it anymore, and his aura was getting weaker and weaker, almost as if he was going to faint at any moment.

Bai Ling's actions became softer in the dark. He was about to reach his goal, so all he needed to do was knock him out.

Bu Batian did not stop the entire time. He used the words "they want to pay with their lives" as an excuse, but now he felt a bit disgraced. He knew that Bai Ling wouldn't beat someone to death, but he didn't expect her to be so persistent.

Long Yi, who still had a bit of consciousness left, didn't even call out. He looked like he was really looking for death.

Bu Jingwan's heart started to beat wildly. He couldn't help it, he finally couldn't hold it in anymore. He suddenly ran out to tell Bu Jinghua the truth. Now, he wanted to persuade Bu Jinghua to forgive others and even think of a way to save them.

Just as Bu Jingwan was about to rush in, a person walked in from outside. He was dressed in a light purple robe with a simple tied up hairline that fluttered in the wind. He had a straight back that gave off a light and elegant feeling.

"Stop!" Actually, Bu Jinghua had already been standing there for a long time. He felt great after seeing Long Yi being beaten up to such a state, but the moment he fell down, he couldn't bear it anymore. Of course, she could not help but say that she had stopped.

This shout was not as weak and feeble as he had imagined. On the contrary, it was rather loud and powerful.

Of course, when everyone heard this somewhat childish yet incomparably strict voice, all three pairs of eyes looked over in surprise.

"Jinghua, why did you come out? "You just woke up. Quickly go back and have a good rest. The small path, the small path …" Bu Batian went over and hurried to support Bu Jinghua. Her injuries were so severe, and she only just woke up to start exercising. He was really afraid that she would fall down.

"Grandfather, don't worry, I'm fine!" Bu Jinghua pushed away Bu Batian's hand and took a few steps forward. He stopped right in front of him and looked at the vicious whip marks on his back with a cold expression.

"Shocking …" Bu Batian worriedly called out. He had also seen how terrifying those scars were. Even he felt disgusted, let alone Bu Jinghua. He was afraid she would cry.

"…" Bu Jinghua did not say anything. He only pressed his hand down, signaling Bu Jingtian not to worry, and turned his cold gaze towards Long Yi's face. The "flowery cat face" that made her gasp for breath from laughter, coldly snorted and glared at him.

"Bu Jinghua, hehe …" You're not dead … Hehehe … You're not dead … "Haha …" When Long Yi saw that it was really Bu Jinghua, his face, which was on the verge of fainting, suddenly lit up. He forcefully squeezed out the words from between his teeth and repeated them with a smile. His expression was one of excitement and joy!

However, in Bu Jinghua's eyes, it was a type of self-deprecating disappointment: "Humph, sorry, I didn't die. I let you down …" Bu Jinghua ruthlessly said. His ice-cold voice did not contain the slightest trace of weakness from being seriously injured. The coquettish smile on his face caused one to be momentarily stunned.

"I... Hehe … "Haha …" Long Yi didn't explain. He just smiled awkwardly and shook his head. Is there any point in explaining it? He really almost took her life!

Bai Ling stood at the side, quietly observing this girl who always made people feel bewildered. Her eyes gradually became filled with waves of emotions. "This girl is too amazing." Listening to Long Yi's description, he used up all the internal energy in his body to use "Dragon Rend Fist", and his fist even hit right on Bu Jinghua's chest. With her current inner strength, she definitely wouldn't be able to block the inner strength of the fourth stage of Dragon Rest, even if she didn't die, it would leave a legacy. Lying in bed for half a month was a must, but without proper treatment, she would suffer from shortness of breath and other symptoms of injury. Not only was he able to get off the bed, he was also full of spirit and blood. Other than feeling slightly tired, how did he look like he had just recovered from a serious injury?

The more she looked at it, the more confused Bai Ling felt. Could it be that Long Yi was lying? Impossible, Long Yi saw people pass out after vomiting blood with his own eyes. If it wasn't for the truth, how could Long Yi act like this? Not only did he come to offer a favor, he was even willing to be beaten half to death?

Could it be … Suddenly, Bai Ling's pair of eyes sank and a wave of energy rippled outwards from within. "A level 1 inner force?" This... He had just started cultivating inner strength a few days ago, and in less than a week, he had reached the first stage of inner strength? Impossible! Isn't this speed a bit too monstrous? Bai Ling was one of the most talented people in the Kingdom of Jin Ling. However, it took her almost three months to raise her inner force to the first stage. Who would've thought that … This girl's talent is so astonishing. No wonder old master Bu was so concerned about her!

"Huh …" A hint of surprise flashed past her eyes. Bai Ling immediately infused her psychokinesis into her pupils. Her pupils scanned Bu Jinghua inch by inch: "Strange, why isn't there any more?"

The strange feeling of oppression disappeared. Was it an illusion? Earlier, he thought that this girl could condense inner force because once psychokinesis could condense, it would be twice as powerful as before. He had scanned her before, and although her psychokinesis was quite high, it couldn't condense. Absolutely impossible!

Ridiculous, ridiculous! Bai Ling mocked herself in her heart.

Bai Ling was absolutely sure about this point, in the entire Dragon Cliff Country, he was the only one who could gather inner force, because he had a good grasp of the records of entering and leaving the country, and would definitely not be the only one who could do so. Of course, other than a Spirit Master or an illusion master of a higher level than him, he could not do so, because no Spirit Master or illusion master would think highly of these small countries, and if Bai Ling did not have something that was difficult to talk about, he would not be here.

She was only sixteen years old, so the gathering of psychokinesis had to wait until her brain was basically fully developed before it could be gathered. Otherwise, if she was too negative, it would cause damage to her brain, and it was best to control it after the age of sixteen. So even if she was a Spirit Master or an illusion master, her level definitely wouldn't be higher than his, because he had already been an illusion master for ten years. He was absolutely sure of that.

Also, the gathering of psychokinesis required a lot of caution, so it usually needed someone to guide it, otherwise it would be even harder than ascending to the heavens. If one could not control the leakage of psychokinesis, then one's brain would be damaged, and this person would be crippled, so no one was willing to try it for no reason. This was one of the reasons why there were so few Spirit Masters and illusionists, and the other reason was because one needed a special willpower.

Even though Bai Ling could vaguely sense Bu Jinghua's amazing psychokinesis, since Bu Jinghua was the only one with a slightly stronger psychokinesis, it was impossible for Bu Jingtian to be either a Spirit Master or an illusion master.

Bai Ling let out a sigh of relief. She withdrew her eyes and adjusted her breathing quietly.
