"Senior brother, I'm a little scared..."

As she spoke, Qin Wan subconsciously leaned closer to Murong Yan.

Murong Yan's previously furrowed brows relaxed.

A flash of malice crossed Feng Yi's eyes.

"Sect Leader, your disciple is far too presumptuous!"

Feng Yi spoke again, his gaze fixed on Murong Yan's large hand around Qin Wan's waist.

When Qin's father looked towards Qin Wan, he met his daughter's innocent and guileless face.

She... didn't seem to mind.

"Father," Qin Wan called out sweetly and obediently.

Father Qin: "..." I understand.

Qin's father calmly looked away, as if he hadn't seen Murong Yan openly taking advantage of Qin Wan.

Feng Yi: "!!!"

"Sect Leader..."

Feng Yi wanted to say something more, but Qin's father changed the subject and asked about his crimes.

"True Lord Feng Yi, the sect has a rule that fellow disciples must not harm each other. Do you remember that?"

"Of course I remember."

Feng Yi's eyes flickered, but his face remained calm and composed.

It was as if everything he had done in the abyss had never happened.

They have such thick skin.

"How do you explain why True Monarch Feng Yi struck my daughter with the Divine Transformation Lightning Tribulation in the Abyss Secret Realm?"

Qin's father's face darkened slightly, his eyes narrowed, and he stared dangerously at Feng Yi in front of him.

Even though Feng Yi is now a powerful cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage, Qin's father never backed down or showed any fear when facing him.

He even felt a deep hatred for Feng Yi because of the harm Feng Yi had done to Qin Wan.

If he disliked Qin Wan and was unwilling to take her as his disciple, he would have said so earlier. He would not have forced his daughter to be sent to Feng Yi's side.

He had promised to take Qin Wan as his apprentice and that he would treat her well, but he broke his promise.

Not only did he break his promise, but knowing that Meng Yunjin had framed Qin Wan, he, as her master, not only failed to handle the matter impartially, but also helped Meng Yunjin harm his daughter!

And there's also the Abyss Secret Realm!

For his own selfish desires, he actually summoned divine lightning to attack Qin Wan!

Forget about the bond between master and disciple, he doesn't even have the most basic camaraderie among fellow disciples!

Now he's even pretending to care about Qin Wan, and he even dares to use his so-called master status to teach Qin Wan a lesson.

Him?

Do you even deserve it?

"Under the tribulation of lightning, accidental injuries are inevitable."

"On that day, Wan'er and the sect leader's disciples were playing around and stayed within the range of the lightning tribulation. The lightning tribulation mistook the four of them for those undergoing tribulation, which is why it almost injured Wan'er. I feel very guilty towards Wan'er for this."

It has to be said that Feng Yi's skin is truly thick, comparable to a city wall.

"You're talking nonsense!"

Unable to bear it any longer, Qin's father disregarded his status as the head of a sect and couldn't help but swear on the spot.

"It was clearly you who deliberately changed the direction of the tribulation lightning, directing it towards Wan'er! My three disciples saw it all clearly!!!"

Faced with Qin's father's tyranny, a glint flashed in Feng Yi's eyes, but he calmly explained.

"Back then, during the incident at the Law Enforcement Hall, I misunderstood Wan'er and almost hurt her."

"From then on, the sect leader's three disciples held a grudge against me. They deliberately slandered me about the Abyss Secret Realm incident in an attempt to seek justice for Wan'er."

Qin's father: "???"

Where did he get the confidence to think Qin Wan would stand on his side?

"True Lord Feng Yi, have you forgotten that besides my three disciples, Wan'er, the person involved, is also present!"

As soon as Qin's father finished speaking, Feng Yi looked at Qin Wan with a confident smile.

“Wan’er, I know that you still harbor resentment about what happened at the Enforcement Hall…”

"Wan'er, don't worry, Yun Jin has slandered you, and I will definitely not let her off easily."

"Once she returns from the Abyss Realm, I will personally bring her to apologize to you."

"At that time, Wan'er can decide whether to punish or punish you."

Feng Yi gazed at her with a self-proclaimed "deep affection," his eyes filled with intense "doting."

Qin Wan subconsciously took a step back under his gaze and leaned closer to Murong Yan's arms.

Taking in her reaction, a faint smile flashed across Murong Yan's eyes.

"Senior brother, why do I feel that True Monarch Feng Yi is acting strangely?"

"...Could he have been possessed?" Qin Wan leaned closer to Murong Yan and asked in a low voice.

"He is a chosen one blessed by Heaven, and Heaven will not allow him to be possessed by someone else." Murong Yan concealed the faint joy in his eyes.

"But why do I feel... the way he looks at me... makes me very uncomfortable?"

Murong Yan also noticed this.

Murong Yan frowned slightly. That day in the Abyss Secret Realm, he used the power of the spatial laws to throw Feng Yi into the spatial rift.

Although he had long anticipated that Feng Yi, as the chosen one of destiny, should not be in any danger to his life, and might even encounter a fortuitous encounter prepared for him by the Heavenly Dao.

only……

Seeing that Feng Yi's cultivation level hadn't increased significantly, but instead his attitude towards Qin Wan had drastically changed...

Could his adventure in the spatial rift be related to Qin Wan?

"I heard that Junior Sister had a crush on True Lord Feng Yi before?" Murong Yan suddenly asked.

Qin Wan was taken aback, but she remained composed in the face of Murong Yan's probing gaze.

"...I was young and ignorant."

Just when Murong Yan thought she had admitted it, Qin Wan suddenly changed the subject.

"However, I'm older now and more sensible. I can now distinguish between what I like and what I'm just imagining."

Upon hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed across Murong Yan's eyes.

illusion?

Is that what he meant?

Qin Wan's next words did not disappoint Murong Yan.

“I have been a loner since I was a child. When I was young, I devoted myself to my father and always hoped that he could spend more time with me and care about me more.”

"Later, after being sent to Shangqing Peak, my obsession with my father was transferred to True Monarch Fengyi..."

"I hope to get more of his attention, I hope to be treated specially by him, I hope to always have him by my side..."

"At first, I didn't understand why I was like this..."

"Until one day, I overheard the senior sisters in my sect discussing their sweethearts and their Daoist partners..."

"Because of what my senior sisters said, I mistakenly thought that I felt the same way about True Lord Fengyi."

"until……"

At this point, Qin Wan paused almost imperceptibly.

Murong Yan's calm and composed gaze stopped on her because of her sudden pause...

Before Qin Wan could finish speaking, Feng Yi, who had been staring intently at the two of them, could no longer bear it and suddenly stepped forward and slapped Murong Yan with his palm.

"presumptuous!"

"How dare you treat my disciple with such disrespect!"

Murong Yan protected Qin Wan and raised his hand to exchange a palm strike with Feng Yi.

"Bang!"

"boom!"

Centered on the three people, a powerful aftershock of spiritual energy spread outwards.

The two patriarchs, both at the Nascent Soul stage, were unaffected, but Qin's father, whose cultivation was only at the Nascent Soul stage, staggered back several steps before barely managing to regain his footing.

After delivering the blow, Feng Yi put his hands behind his back and stared at Murong Yan with a grim expression.

This kid's bone age is clearly only twenty-five, yet his cultivation level is already high enough to hold his own against me without being defeated!

Who exactly is he?

Thinking of this, Feng Yi uncontrollably recalled the dream he had seen in the spatial rift...
