Chapter 681 A Man's Competitive Spirit
Jun Wuduan remained unmoved, holding the little jade toad as a hostage, and said calmly, "The master who has been missing for hundreds of years is utterly incompetent. It is now in my hands, and I can decide whether it stays or goes."
"You shameless wretch! You have no right to do this!"
Feng Tianyu was quite disgusted by the childish banter between the two. He turned his head and found his junior sister staring at the two not far away with shining eyes, looking smug and as if she wanted them to fight.
"..."
Feng Tianyu subtly patted Ye Wanxi's hand to attract her attention.
After Ye Wanxi looked over with a puzzled expression, he asked in a low voice, "Aren't you afraid that the third brother's men might not know their own strength and hurt your senior sister Qi Yao?"
You should know that although the third brother looks gentle and refined, his combat strength is definitely not low. In addition, he likes to play dirty tricks, and back then, many big shots who had passed the Tribulation Transcending stage had fallen into his hands.
As soon as Feng Tianyu said this, he immediately received a disdainful look from Ye Wanxi, as if asking, "Are you a straight man?"
"Is this a matter of high or low combat power? Third Senior Brother is clearly still in the painful stage of pursuing someone he can't catch up with. If he dares to touch Senior Sister Qi Yao, does he want to live a lonely life?"
Feng Tianyu raised an eyebrow: "Hmm? So?"
"So even if a fight breaks out, it will definitely be the third senior brother who gets beaten up."
"..." So you're so excited because you can't wait for the third brother to get beaten up? You really are a dear junior sister!
However, Qi Yao, on whom Ye Wanxi had placed high hopes, ultimately failed to fulfill Ye Wanxi's wishes.
Enraged by Jun Wuduan's shamelessness, she turned around and met Feng Tianyu's face, which made her even angrier.
I immediately decided to stay away from those two stinky men!
She jumped up, walked to Ye Wanxi's side, and grabbed her hand: "Come with me, let's go outside and talk."
Ye Wanxi never expected that the fire would eventually burn her. By the time she realized what was happening, she had already been dragged away.
However, upon further reflection, she realized that she did indeed have many questions she wanted to ask Qi Yao, so she turned to give Feng Tianyu a reassuring look and obediently followed her.
After the two left, only Feng Tianyu and his companion were left staring at each other at the dinner table.
Feng Tianyu stared at Jun Wuduan, recalling his junior sister's earlier evaluation of him, and a smile involuntarily crept onto his lips. He said with a half-smile, "Aren't you going to go and take a look?"
"No, she probably doesn't want to see me right now."
Feng Tianyu thought to himself, "You're quite self-aware."
"Pushing someone too hard may not be a good thing." Even a rabbit will bite when cornered, let alone a fierce flower like this. It's good that it bites when pushed to the limit, but the real danger is that it will disappear without a trace and can't be found at all.
Jun Wuduan could easily detect the mockery in the other person's words. His eyes flickered slightly, and he chuckled softly, "It's better to push them than to be timid and hesitant, leaving only regrets."
Feng Tianyu's smile suddenly froze, and his eyes narrowed dangerously: "Does saying it guarantee success? You've been chasing it for decades with no result. Don't you ever think about whether there's something wrong with you?"
Jun Wuduan's smile vanished completely: "Whether it succeeds or not is another matter. At least I tried my best and have no regrets."
"Your decision to leave no regrets doesn't seem to be appreciated by someone. In my past life, my junior sister and I did miss each other, but in this life, we are mutually in love and things have naturally progressed. It's better than some people being avoided like the plague."
"Mutual affection, a natural progression?" Jun Wuduan looked Feng Tianyu up and down, then chuckled, "Senior Brother, you and Junior Sister haven't done anything yet, have you?"
Feng Tianyu felt as if an arrow had pierced his heart, and his cold, sharp gaze flew towards Jun Wuduan.
Jun Wuduan, not to be outdone, looked back at the past.
The two grown men exchanged sharp, piercing glances, their exchanges swift and intense.
Poor little jade toad, trembling in his hands. This man's competitive spirit is truly terrifyingly strong. *sobs*
Ye Wanxi and her companion were unaware of the commotion that Feng Tianyu and his companion were making.
Qi Yao pulled her back to the previous lounge. As soon as the door closed, Ye Wanxi couldn't wait to ask about Qi Yao's condition.
"Senior Sister Qi Yao, what exactly happened? How did you become a young lady of the Qi family?"
"It's a long story, and it all started after you left. When you left, everyone was heartbroken and dejected, but we quickly cheered ourselves up and decided to work hard to cultivate. Once we were strong enough, we would lead a group to the Demon Realm to avenge you."
Ye Wanxi was stunned; this was the first time she had ever heard of such a thing: "Then... what happened next?"
"This cultivation lasted for decades. Just when everyone thought the time was ripe and they were preparing to lead their people to take revenge, they suddenly received news that the king of the demon realm had been assassinated. The demon realm had become a disorganized mess, with no leader and people scattered and fleeing."
Qi Yao paused, then frowned and said, "No one knows who did it, but my intuition tells me that this matter is inextricably linked to Senior Brother."
Ye Wanxi was taken aback: "Senior Brother?"
How could the death of the Demon King be related to her senior brother? Could it be that her senior brother killed the king?
Thinking of this, Ye Wanxi's heart pounded uncontrollably. How terrifying was the situation when the demons pressed in? To be able to become the leader of those vicious people in such a dark place, one can only imagine the strength of this Demon King.
Is it really possible for the eldest brother to assassinate him? What price did he pay for it?
"Hmm." Qi Yao only mentioned this one sentence and did not continue to dwell on the topic. "Although it is a pity that I was unable to avenge you in person, my decades of hard work in cultivation have not been entirely in vain. A hundred years later, my senior uncle finally broke through the mortal barrier and successfully ascended to heaven."
"My master?"
"Yes, my senior uncle was the first to ascend, and after his ascension, the barrier that had been suppressing cultivators seemed to have been removed all at once. After that, several senior uncles and senior aunts, as well as some powerful figures from other sects, ascended one after another. Even many of the younger generation of senior brothers, sisters, junior brothers, and junior sisters also cultivated faster, and many of them touched that threshold."
"Then you..."
Qi Yao shook her head: "We can't ascend."
"Why?" Ye Wanxi couldn't understand.
The senior brothers and sisters are among the best in the sect, and the junior brothers and sisters who are behind them have already reached the threshold. There is no reason why they cannot ascend.
"Because our earthly ties are not yet severed, and our hearts are still attached."
Ye Wanxi opened her mouth, unsure of what to say.
"My master probably foresaw this outcome long before he ascended to immortality, which is why he told us a lot of things before he left."
"What's up?"
Qi Yao smiled and said, "I don't know about others, but what my master told me is related to my disciples and grand-disciples."
Ye Wanxi suddenly realized: "So that's why you deliberately separated a soul and a spirit to guard your disciples and grand-disciples before your reincarnation, and also led me over to help?"
