Ling Xueyan's slender, willow-leaf-like eyebrows furrowed tightly, resembling two intertwined black lines, making her originally beautiful face appear gloomy and uncertain.

Her beautiful eyes were fixed on Qin Feng's face, as if trying to see through his eyes to understand his true thoughts.

She never expected Qin Feng's attitude to be so resolute and firm!

What she found even more incomprehensible was that, just for those few people she had only known for a short time, Qin Feng had chosen to confront her head-on without hesitation and without backing down!

In contrast, Qin Feng's expression was unusually calm, like a bottomless lake, undisturbed.

He met Ling Xueyan's sharp gaze calmly, showing no intention of backing down.

Because in his heart, he has his own bottom line and principles—a real man should have things he will do and things he will not do.

Although Qin Feng may not be a highly virtuous and benevolent person, he at least understands a simple and easy-to-understand principle: one should respond to the sincerity given by others with a sincere heart.

In that instant, the atmosphere of the entire scene suddenly became heavy, as if even the air itself had frozen.

Su Qiyun and Feng Ling, standing to the side, both wore expressions of fear and unease.

They glanced cautiously at Qin Feng one moment, then nervously at Ling Xueyan the next, their mouths tightly shut, not daring to utter a single word.

After staring at Qin Feng for a while, Ling Xueyan finally took a deep breath, as if she had used all her strength to barely suppress the raging anger in her heart.

Then, in a voice so cold it was almost icy, she said, "Qin Feng, do you really think you can take me down just because you have the fragment of the Primordial Origin Map in your hands?"

Faced with Ling Xueyan's threatening and sharp questioning, Qin Feng remained calm, as if it were all just a passing cloud.

He stood there calmly, his posture as upright as a pine tree, his gaze as still as water, and slowly replied, "I have never had such a thought."

He paused briefly, then continued calmly, "The reason I made this choice is simply because I am unwilling to easily betray the principles of conduct I have always upheld for the sake of those seemingly tempting but actually illusory opportunities!"

However, upon hearing these words, Ling Xueyan scoffed disdainfully. Her beautiful face was now filled with mockery and contempt. "Hmph, what a ridiculous principle!"

"In this world of cultivators where the strong prey on the weak and strength reigns supreme, opportunities are as fleeting as a shooting star streaking across the sky. If you don't seize them in time, you'll miss them forever."

"But what about you? You've wasted your precious time on a few people you're not even close to. You're utterly foolish!"

Faced with Ling Xueyan's sarcastic remarks, Qin Feng did not get angry. Instead, he gently shook his head, his eyes revealing a firm and profound light.

"You're wrong. Opportunities are certainly important, but if you lose yourself in the process and lose your original pure and kind heart, then even if you eventually gain a lot of opportunities, what practical meaning will it have?"

"Hehe!" Ling Xueyan looked at Qin Feng with a half-smile. "When did you become such a kind person?"

"In my mind, you've always been a cunning and ruthless person who eats people without spitting out the bones!"

Hearing Ling Xueyan's words, Qin Feng rolled his eyes speechlessly, too lazy to argue.

When did he become someone who eats people without spitting out the bones?

Does this woman have some misunderstanding about me?

However, none of that matters anymore, since he and Ling Xueyan were no longer on the same path.

"Enough with the nonsense, I'm going in to check on Su Liyue and Lin Xuan!"

Qin Feng glanced at Ling Xueyan and said indifferently, "If you want to leave, then please do so. If you choose to stay, then don't spout nonsense that I find offensive!"

"Otherwise, I'm afraid if I listen to too much, I might lose my temper and hit you!"

Qin Feng's threat was blatant, yet Ling Xueyan dared not speak out against it!

Ling Xueyan was very clear that once Qin Feng had spoken, he would definitely carry it out, and he would do so with all his might without any compromise.

For the sake of the opportunities within the Primordial Chaos Realm, Ling Xueyan had no choice but to endure it!

Watching Qin Feng enter the stone house, Ling Xueyan turned around, walked to the lawn beside her, sat down, and then closed her eyes to pretend to sleep.

Su Qiyun and Feng Ling both breathed a slight sigh of relief. They secretly glanced at Ling Xueyan before turning around and walking into the stone house together.

They could all see that Ling Xueyan and Qin Feng's relationship seemed to be strained.

Therefore, to be on the safe side, they cannot be outside with Ling Xueyan and must stay by Qin Feng's side at all times.

In order to prevent Ling Xueyan from suddenly having a whim and kidnapping the two of them to blackmail Qin Feng.

...

Qin Feng entered the stone house and stood quietly to one side, carefully examining the injuries of Su Liyue and Lin Xuan with piercing eyes.

After examining the situation, Qin Feng felt somewhat relieved.

Su Liyue and Lin Xuan were as pale as paper, with many gruesome wounds on their bodies, their clothes stained with blood.

Fortunately, although the injuries looked shocking, they did not damage the two men's vital organs.

Under normal circumstances, with proper care, they can recover completely in just one or two days.

However, Qin Feng did not want to linger here for too long.

He frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and then resolutely decided to personally treat Su Liyue and Lin Xuan in order to speed up their recovery.

With his superb medical skills, and the healing pills that Su Liyue and Lin Xuan had taken earlier, Qin Feng was confident that he could completely heal their injuries within half a day.

Thinking of this, Qin Feng glanced at Su Qiyun and Feng Ling, who had followed him into the stone house. "You two must keep quiet and not disturb me!"

Su Qiyun and Feng Ling both nodded upon hearing this.

Immediately, Qin Feng reached into the storage ring at his waist, and after a flash of light, an exquisite silver needle pouch appeared in his hand.

Su Qiyun and Feng Ling were both taken aback when they saw Qin Feng take out such a bag of silver needles, and their faces were full of suspicion.

They stared wide-eyed at Qin Feng's hand movements, secretly wondering: Did Qin Feng intend to use these silver needles to give the injured person acupuncture?

Su Qiyun and Feng Ling looked at each other, completely bewildered. Could acupuncture needles really treat injuries?

Qin Feng ignored their questions. He greeted Su Liyue, then gently picked up a silver needle and quickly and accurately inserted it into Su Liyue's acupoints.

The silver needle trembled slightly, and a wisp of divine power flowed through it into Su Liyue's body.

Feng Ling covered her mouth in surprise, and Su Qiyun's eyes widened as well.

It's unbelievable that he actually wanted to treat the injured person with acupuncture.
