Jin Shiyi's words were like heavy hammer blows, each word striking Yin Jing's heart, causing her to take a few steps back, her eyes filled with resentment and struggle.
But she knew that her father's decisions were never questionable, so she could only suppress her anger and unease and look at Wu Tian with complicated eyes, as if she wanted to etch him into her heart, or as if she was warning him not to hurt Jin Lingyun in the slightest.
Witnessing Jin Lingyun being ravaged beyond recognition by Wu Tian, she fantasized countless times about transforming into a sharp sword to slay this wicked demon.
However, upon hearing the news that Jin Shiyi had vowed to kill Wu Tian, her heart was filled with turbulent emotions, including a longing for liberation, a complex mix of feelings, and a sense of satisfaction at seeing the wicked finally punished.
Wu Tian, as if standing in the eye of a storm, keenly caught the gaze that struck straight to the heart. The light and breezy smile on his lips not only did not diminish, but instead contained a deeper meaning.
He gave Yin Jing a meaningful smile, then walked steadily past her, each step exuding confidence and composure, like a valiant warrior marching towards the final chapter of his destiny, fearless and undaunted.
He knew that this performance was not only for Jin Lingyun, but also for his own future destiny.
Deep in the backyard, Jin Lingyun continued to unleash her unfinished power and inexhaustible vitality in her chase with the guards, seemingly mad, but in fact containing an indomitable spirit.
Jin Shiyi witnessed this scene and felt as if his heart was being torn apart. His gaze towards Wu Tian was filled with burning anger and his eyes were as cold as ice: "My lifelong wish is to kill you with my own hands!"
Wu Tian's gaze was fixed on Jin Lingyun, and within such close proximity, he had a complete understanding of her condition.
A faint smile played on his lips as he turned his back to Jin Shiyi, his tone resolute and unwavering: "If you have the ability, senior, Wu Tian is ready to serve you at any time."
"You—" Jin Shiyi was furious, and his words seemed pale.
During their exchange, he had already vaguely sensed his opponent's extraordinary abilities and knew that taking his life would be no easy task.
He took a deep breath, calmed himself, and declared through gritted teeth, "I will definitely do it."
Then, his voice boomed like a bell, echoing throughout the backyard, and even the house seemed to tremble: "Lingyun, look who this is!"
This shout not only brought Jin Lingyun back to her attention, but also shocked everyone present.
Upon hearing this, Jin Lingyun paused, turned her head, and her eyes instantly shone with an unprecedented light as she cried out, "Junior Brother..."
At that moment, it seemed as if all the gloom had vanished.
Jin Shiyi's face lit up with joy, and he said excitedly, "Lingyun, you've finally returned to normal."
Everyone was overjoyed and praised Liu Erhe's plan for its remarkable effectiveness. After only seeing Wu Tian once, Jin Lingyun showed signs of recovery.
Hearing the murmurs of the crowd, Liu Erhe stroked his beard, a smile on his face, exuding confidence and composure.
Liu Caidie's smile was like the veil of the goddess of victory, concealing not only the arrogance of triumph, but also endless hatred and a desire to punish Wu Tian. At this moment, her world consisted only of winning or losing the bet and the pleasure of revenge.
Suddenly, Jin Lingyun's laughter erupted like a raging torrent, carrying a hint of madness and a touch of resolute determination: "You monster, how dare you impersonate my junior brother! Today I will take your life!"
Having said that, his figure transformed into a streak of light and rushed straight towards Wu Tian.
Faced with this sudden attack, Wu Tian's lips curled into a meaningful smile, his composure as if nothing in the world could move him in the slightest.
The smiles that the surrounding crowd had been about to share were now frozen in astonishment.
Jin Lingyun's reappearance of madness proves that her brief moment of lucidity was nothing but a fleeting moment.
Liu Erhe, however, maintained the serene composure of a high monk in meditation, and said leisurely, "No rush, no rush, the treatment has not officially begun yet."
Before he could finish speaking, Jin Shiyi roared like thunder: "Lingyun, your grandfather will eliminate this scourge for you!"
After speaking, a palm strike, imbued with the power of mountains and rivers, slammed out from behind Wu Tian. This strike didn't seem like acting; it looked more like a real attempt to kill Wu Tian.
Wu Tian was launched like a cannonball, his body intertwining with Jin Lingyun's attack in mid-air, and finally crashing into the seemingly solid artificial mountain like a meteorite.
The artificial hill was reduced to dust in an instant, while Wu Tian fell heavily to the ground like an arrow piercing through the forest.
This scene left everyone present speechless and horrified.
It was clearly agreed that it was just a performance, but Jin Shiyi's palm strike seemed to contain real killing intent, making people wonder whether it was just an act or a real threat.
At this moment, the gazes of the crowd toward Jin Shiyi were complex and difficult to discern, a mixture of awe, anger, and disdain.
As the head of the Jin family and a martial arts master, he actually took things seriously during the agreed-upon act. This betrayal is truly unacceptable.
However, Jin Shiyi himself was also completely baffled. Although he had the heart to exorcise demons, his palm strike had not even touched Wu Tian yet the other party had already flown away on his own. This strange phenomenon was puzzling.
What puzzled him even more was that Wu Tian's departure seemed to carry a storm even more violent than a direct hit, sweeping through people's hearts.
The dust had not yet settled, and a heavy sense of oppression and unease filled the air, making even breathing feel difficult.
Liu Caidie's gaze danced lightly between Wu Tian's falling silhouette and Jin Shiyi's utterly astonished face, a complex and enigmatic smile quietly blooming on her lips.
That smile contained a subtle mockery of Jin Shiyi's impulsive actions, as well as a faint pity for Wu Tian's tragic fate.
At the same time, Liu Erhe's usually calm face was now filled with astonishment. He had never expected Jin Shiyi to act so decisively, nor had he foreseen that Wu Tian would come to the end of his life due to an accident during treatment.
He acted swiftly, gently yet firmly stopping the doctors who were rushing into the backyard to save Wu Tian.
"This is a critical moment in the treatment and we cannot be disturbed. Please remain calm and wait for the right opportunity."
Now that things have come to this, Wu Tian's life or death is no longer important to him; he is more concerned about Jin Lingyun's condition.
In his view, even if Wu Tian were to perish, as long as Jin Lingyun could regain her life, his medical skills would receive the highest praise.
"Junior brother—"
A call pierced through the cracks in the rubble, and Jin Lingyun, like a fleeting shadow, rushed to where Wu Tian had fallen. She embraced him without hesitation, tears streaming down her face like broken pearls.
As a martial artist, she knew that Jin Shiyi's palm strike was powerful enough to shake the heavens and the earth, and Wu Tian's chances of survival after being hit by it were slim.
However, just in this moment of despair, Wu Tian slowly opened his eyes, a mysterious light flashing in them.
He lowered his voice, as if conveying an unspeakable secret deep in the forest: "Senior sister, don't be afraid, I'm fine. This is just a play I put on to help you fight for your freedom. The play isn't over yet, and we still need to continue acting."
