Yuan Jing's heart was filled with complexity.
Her stomach was turning.
Her face was flushed with heat.
She remembered how she had encouraged Lu Benwei sincerely and earnestly when she thought he would never cultivate. She told him that as long as he worked hard, he would definitely succeed.
Now, looking back, did he really need her encouragement?
"What the hell? A wimp like you dares to nag in front of this scumbag?"
"What else is it if not seeking death?"
At that moment,
Lu Benwei, the leader, expressed his impatience.
Then he suddenly turned his gaze towards the stunned Bai Lingtian and Yuan Langtian beside him.
"What about you two pieces of trash? Are you also planning to give it a try?"
"We dare not."
The two of them trembled in fear, kneeling down on the ground with cold sweat streaming down their faces.
And as Yuan Jing, in her daze, saw this, she looked left and right, not knowing what to do. She was about to kneel down as well.
"Oh, beautiful lady, you don't need to."
The tone of Lu Benwei changed abruptly, and he quickly took a step forward, grabbing Yuan Jing's delicate arm and speaking with a gentle voice.
Yuan Jing felt quite flustered.
Although their relationship had been good and they got along well before, she couldn't stay relaxed anymore after learning about Lu Benwei's strength.
Therefore, Lu Benwei's actions made her feel surprised and honored.
What virtues and merits does she possess that would warrant such courtesy from a master like Lu Benwei?
"Sir, I..."
Yuan Jing stammered, feeling nervous.
"Oh, Miss Yuan!"
"You really don't have to worry."
"A handsome man like me truly cherishes and values beauty."
Seeing Yuan Jing's flustered appearance, Lu Benwei gently stroked the back of her hand and comforted her in a soft voice.
"You scoundrel!"
"And you're being a pervert."
Just then, accompanied by a curse, a tea bowl flew from a distance and hit Lu Benwei's head directly.
"Ouch!"
"Master, I was wrong."
Lu Benwei's eyes sparkled from the impact, letting out a miserable scream as he fell to his knees.
The dog and the maid beside him also dropped to their knees, their legs weak.
You should know,
this guy had just woken up!
And he still had his morning grumpiness.
They knew very well what to do in such a situation: don't provoke, admit the mistake!
This sudden scene shocked Yuan Langtian and Bai Lingtian, leaving them in anguish.
Who... dares to make Lu Benwei kneel down with just one sentence?
Has that person finally appeared?
With these thoughts in mind, their breathing became rapid.
While feeling anxious, their faces showed signs of nervousness, and their hands and feet couldn't find a place to rest. Cold sweat dripped from their foreheads.
Yuan Jing, too, bit her lip tightly, no longer displaying the carefree manner she had in front of Yi Feng. She stood helplessly on the side.
Finally,
under their watchful gaze,
a figure in a white robe walked out from the inner hall.
With just a glance, they understood that this was definitely the mysterious gentleman Wu Tian King had mentioned.
He looked clean and pure, with an otherworldly temperament, as if untouched by the mundane world.
At the same time, there was no trace of aura fluctuations on his body, perfectly matching Wu Tian King's description.
"Greetings, sir."
Bai Lingtian and Yuan Langtian quickly shifted their kneeling knees on the ground, their faces showing respect as they faced Yi Feng, speaking in a respectful tone.
"We pay our respects to you?"
"Who are you?"
Yi Feng asked, looking bewildered.
"Reporting to sir,"
"I am Yuan Langtian from the Yuan Family, and I am Bai Lingtian from the Bai Family."
The two of them spoke in unison with a respectful tone.
"Yuan Family, Bai Family?"
Yi Feng furrowed his brow and looked towards the figure lying motionless on the ground in the distance, then asked, "And who is he?"
"Reporting to sir, that... that is my subordinate, Shadow. He was struck like this by the person next to you because he was blind."
Bai Lingtian explained while cold sweat streamed down his face, glancing towards Lu Benwei.
"I see."
Yi Feng's pupils contracted.
Isn't the Bai Family the same Bai Family as Bai Qiqu?
As an intelligent person, he instantly understood what had happened.
So he directly sneered, "If I guess correctly, you came here to make trouble because I injured your son, right?"
"We dare not!"
The two of them knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly.
Yi Feng ignored them and continued to speak for himself, "But you never expected that we are a united front, and you couldn't even defeat my subordinates?"
"So you turned to begging on your knees?"
Yi Feng's words hit the mark, and the faces of the two men turned an ugly shade, flushed like pig livers.
"Well, why aren't you saying anything?"
"Aren't the Bai Family supposed to be formidable?"
Yi Feng didn't give them any face. Not only was Bai Qiqu arrogant and unreasonable, but now he also brought people to attack his doorstep. These people from the Bai Family clearly weren't good people.
"We dare not!"
The two of them trembled on the ground.
"Hmph, I really thought the Bai Family was so formidable. You can't even defeat this so-called 'worthless waste' by my side. Trash like this, how dare you come to my doorstep?"
Yi Feng continued with a mocking tone.
Coincidentally, he was just woken up, full of the anger of being disturbed.
The faces of the two men twisted at his words.
It was as if he was saying that in the entire Wu Tian Empire, there was someone who could defeat that so-called "worthless waste."
