"Brat, you are courting death."

An enraged voice echoed in the air. Before the person arrived, a sword beam shot towards the heavens, but it was already too late.

"Are you going to break the rules too?" Qin Meng slowly spoke, as wine flowed out and turned into an Order God Chain that pierced through the area and blocked that astonishing sword beam.

Then, he staggered out.

Lin Yi's face was ashen, his gaze sinister as he stared at the latter. Anger, unwillingness, it was almost enough to make him go berserk, but facing that figure, he knew that he was no match for him and did not make any rash moves.

"Let's go!" The pale white figure picked up the white spear and walked in front of Wen Yuqing and said softly.

"Alright." She answered with a thousand words and only one word remained, "Good." All her emotions were buried deep in her heart, as if he was the only one in her eyes.

Amongst the crowd, Chen Qi's gaze was deep as he revealed a look of jealousy. He took a deep breath and subconsciously clenched his hands.

"Anyone who breaks the rules will have to pay the price, unless I die." Qin Meng swept his gaze across everyone present.

In the end, he left as well.

Lin Yi's face was gloomy, his eyes almost spitting fire. He quickly stepped forward and carried Lin Zifeng away.

A challenge ended just like that, but everyone knew, Li Yi's massacre might have just begun.

Three years had passed.

The youth from before had already grown up.

What about his enemies?

Perhaps, she was looking at him in a corner!

Some people had grave expressions, shook their heads, and sighed. Even though Li Yi had already grown up, for those people three years ago, his growth was just too slow.

Now, he had even offended Lin Family, so with his personality, whether or not he would enter the sect alive was one thing.

Wen Yuqing called out softly, "Senior Brother!"

Li Yi subconsciously turned his face to the side and looked at her suspiciously. He kept feeling that at this moment, she was a little strange and down, even talking a lot less.

She raised her head and looked at the setting sun. "Accompany me to a place."

Li Yi laughed: "Alright."

The two of them walked side by side, and as the setting sun scattered down, it made their backs look extremely long. From afar, it seemed as if they were an immortal couple.

An hour later, they returned to the courtyard.

Li Yi looked at her in astonishment. Didn't they say that they would accompany her to a place?

But Wen Yuqing did not say anything, walked around the simple and crude courtyard, and headed towards the cliff at the back of the courtyard.

Sunset, cliffs, rivers.

Under the setting sun, her light blue clothes made her look like a withered summer flower. An indescribable sadness filled her heart.

He stood there quietly, his clothes fluttering as he looked at the scenery before him and the man he loved. He was determined to protect her for the rest of her life.

That year, he was sixteen, and she was sixteen.

After a long while, Wen Yuqing opened his mouth: "I'm so tired from cultivating."

Li Yi paused, "I will protect you, forever."

She smiled happily and said, "I knew senior would say that." While smiling, Li Yi did not notice that her smile had gradually stiffened.

The sun slowly set, and the last of the red clouds was reflected in the horizon.

Soon, darkness descended.

She did not say a word, nor did she intend to leave. She lowered her head, and when the cold wind blew against her, she seemed to feel a chill, and her body trembled slightly.

Li Yi could not bear it anymore, "Go back!"

She stubbornly shook her head. "I don't."

In fact, as long as Li Yi thought about it, he would realize that there was something wrong.

As a cultivator, regardless of whether it was the realm of the aperture or the realm of the meridian, one could use vital energy or spiritual energy to maintain one's body's temperature.

Thus, in the cultivation world, cultivators would not feel cold.

After an unknown period of time, he was truly too tired and slowly fell asleep.

She silently stood up with tears streaming down her face. She suppressed her voice and said with a trembling voice, "Senior Brother, I want to go with you. I don't want to part with you, but I'm leaving."

"I come from the Zhongzhou, my clan is very big, will you go find me?"

"Perhaps, you won't be able to hear it."

"I can't tell you this. If they find out, they won't let you go."

"Thank you! For three years, you have been taking care of me and protecting me. "

"You must take care of yourself and live well."

She cried very sorrowfully, and her delicate and pretty face was full of tears. She spoke a lot, and in the end, with a flick of her finger, she sent a mental imprint into his mind.

"There are divine abilities, martial skills, and even cultivation techniques. Once you reach the Meridian Realm, they will automatically appear. You must remember to be careful when you cultivate, and not let anyone know about them."

"I'm leaving."

"Goodbye!" "Senior Brother!"

The sad girl turned around and walked away. With tears on her face, she waved and left without a sound.

Li Yi had a dream. He dreamt that Wen Yuqing was forced to marry by his family.

In the end, however, it was blocked by countless people, so in the end, he could only watch Wen Yuqing become the other person's wife with his own eyes.

"Hua!"

He was abruptly awakened as cold sweat densely appeared on his forehead. After sweeping his surroundings, he did not discover Wen Yuqing's figure. He felt a faint unease in his heart and had also started to become anxious.

The journey that he usually took half an hour was completed in ten minutes due to his mad dash.

Coincidentally, Ji Linger walked out.

Li Yi grabbed her and asked anxiously: "Have you seen your senior sister?"

Ji Linger looked at him silently.

Li Yi's face slightly changed. Without waiting for Ji Ling to make a sound, he quickly rushed inside, running all the way to the place Wen Yuqing was staying.

Bang!

He kicked open the door, but did not see his lover as he wished.

The room was empty, there was nothing left, only the remnants of Wen Yuqing's body remained.

Ji Linger followed and sighed: "Senior sister has left."

Li Yi trembled, his chest rising and falling, as though he was suffocating. He subconsciously narrowed his eyes, as if he was controlling some kind of crystal clear liquid.

Gradually, he squatted down and curled his body. He was suffocating, silent, and hesitant, just like a helpless child.

After a long while, his muddleheaded consciousness returned to normal. He asked in a hoarse voice: "Did she say anything?"

Ji Linger replied, "Senior Sister said, she's too tired."

Too tired.

Cultivation was tiring.

Li Yi recalled what she said last night and carefully thought about it. There were many doubts, but why didn't he think of it? How stupid!

"You can go first!" He didn't look back as he spoke, his voice hoarse.

Ji Linger remained silent. She didn't know why, but she felt a dull pain in her heart as she looked at the sad young man in front of her.

She was also from a large clan, and was well aware of the helplessness of a few of their daughters. In the eyes of the clan, they were nothing more than tools to continue the clan's interests.

Wen Yuqing was one, and so was she.

The only difference was that Wen Yuqing had someone that deeply loved her and she didn't.
