"I won?"

"Great, I won!"

Wenren Bingying's slightly dim eyes suddenly lit up with a bright light. She excitedly grabbed Chi Yuan's hand and jumped up and down. Crystal tears were scattered in the air, sparkling like stars under the sunlight.

No matter what others say, if Young Master Fufeng says she won, then she won!

She's free!

Overwhelmed by intense excitement, Wenren Bingying felt as if she were floating on clouds. But then a dizzying sensation swept over her, and her hands suddenly slipped from Chi Yuan's grasp, her delicate body collapsing weakly to the ground.

"Ice Jacaranda!"

Chi Yuan quickly stepped forward and embraced Wenren Bingying, looking at her pale face with pity. This girl, why did she have to push herself to such an extent...

"The Ice Tree's vitality has been overdrawn; I'm afraid it has already damaged its very essence..."

An Yuxi put her arm around Wenren Bingying's shoulder from the other side, gently stroking Wenren Bingying's cheek with heartache, and couldn't help but look up at Chi Yuan and say, "Junior brother, Bingying... she did it all for you!"

Chi Yuan was filled with complex emotions. How could he not understand Wenren Bingying's feelings? He just didn't know how to face it. Did he really want her to be with An Yuxi and her master...?

Perhaps he really should let go of his moral burden.

Chi Yuan tried to raise his hand and gently placed it on An Yuxi's jade hand that was stroking Wenren Bingying's cheek. He then gently wiped away the tear stains on Wenren Bingying's face with his thumb and said softly, "Senior Sister, why don't you take Bingying back to rest first?"

An Yuxi gazed at Chi Yuan with tender affection, knowing that Chi Yuan had begun to try to accept Wenren Bingying. She couldn't help but feel happy for Wenren Bingying. Although she also felt extremely ashamed to share Chi Yuan with Wenren Bingying, she was even more unwilling to see Wenren Bingying suffer for the rest of her life because of Chi Yuan.

She turned to look at Shangguan Zhen and the others opposite her, and shook her head, saying, "No rush, let's deal with the immediate matter first."

Shangguan Zhen then shifted his gaze from Wenren Bingying and looked coldly at Feng Yaoyao, saying, "Sect Master Feng, isn't it a bit too much for you to try and kill the master of one of my sect's peaks?"

"Is that right? She told my disciple she was courting death, which proves she wanted to kill him. In that case, it's reasonable for me to kill her, isn't it?"

Feng Yaoyao crossed her arms, tilted her snow-white chin up, and said confidently.

Shangguan Zhen snorted coldly and said aggressively, "That was because your disciple attacked Ye Chen first! Didn't you see that Ye Chen's life-saving talisman was triggered? If it weren't for the life-saving talisman protecting Ye Chen from fatal damage, he would have died at your disciple's hands. How do you explain that?"

"He's not dead, so why do you say my disciple tried to kill him? You can only blame this kid for being too weak. My disciple only used a little force, and he was almost killed."

"Oh right, don't say that my disciple is bullying the weak because of his high cultivation level. He is only at the fourth level of the Spirit King realm. This kid used a Heaven-rank spiritual technique and was almost killed by a casual palm strike. It's clearly his own fault for being too useless."

Feng Yaoyao said emphatically.

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen nearly vomited blood in anger. If it weren't for his superior cultivation, would he have been beaten so badly by Chi Yuan in one move? How dare he call him trash?!

Shangguan Zhen's lips twitched. This Feng Yaoyao could really lie through her teeth. Chi Yuan's palm strike just now was also a Heaven-rank spiritual skill, and Chi Yuan was only a fourth-rank Spirit King. How could you call that a casual palm strike?

"He asked for it if I had to intervene. He had clearly already lost, but he took advantage of Bingying's weakness to use a Heaven-Rank Spiritual Technique on her. As her senior uncle, how could I stand idly by?"

Chi Yuan spoke calmly and composedly.

Hearing Chi Yuan's voice, Shangguan Zhen felt like he had heard it somewhere before, but he wasn't familiar with Chi Yuan before and couldn't guess who Chi Yuan was for a moment.

After a moment's hesitation, Shangguan Zhen was about to speak when Ye Chen behind him shouted angrily, "I didn't lose! She's the one who lost, so what makes you say I lost?"

Shangguan Zhen thought for a moment and said, "Although Ye Chen was knocked to the ground by Wenren Bingying, he did not fall off the stage. At that time, City Lord Gongbo Yang did not intervene. After knocking down Ye Chen, Wenren Bingying did not have the strength to continue attacking. Therefore, according to the rules, as long as Ye Chen gets up soon after falling to the ground, he cannot be considered defeated."

I don't disagree with these points.

Chi Yuan remained calm, then changed the subject, saying forcefully, "But Sect Leader Shangguan, don't forget that when Ye Chen was frozen, Bing Ying could have easily attacked his throat. If she had been more ruthless then and attacked Ye Chen's throat directly, without the protection of his spirit armor, Ye Chen would have undoubtedly been defeated!"

"The reason Bingying didn't attack Ye Chen's throat at that time was simply because she didn't intend to kill him. So even though she knew Ye Chen would be protected by spirit armor, she still chose to attack Ye Chen's chest, hoping to win the battle without taking a life."

"In my opinion, Ye Chen had already lost the moment Bing Ying didn't deliver the killing blow. Imagine if it were a life-or-death battle with no one to stop him, would Ye Chen have any chance of survival?"

"this……"

Shangguan Zhen was speechless. Chi Yuan was right. If Wenren Bingying had attacked Ye Chen's throat instead of his chest, Ye Chen would have faced a life-or-death crisis without any chance of anything going wrong. Moreover, Wenren Bingying could have easily stabbed Ye Chen in the neck.

"I agree with what Young Master Fufeng has said."

Gong Boyang commented that he had thought Wenren Bingying would attack Ye Chen's vulnerable neck and was ready to save him, but he did not expect Wenren Bingying to attack his chest, which was protected by spirit armor.
