Han Ling Shuang smiled, "As expected, nothing can be hidden from you, Senior. That's right, Jiang Enyi has already been killed by me!"
Although she was laughing, her delicate body was trembling.
This seemingly lighthearted yet heavy feeling made Ye Shengxiao shake his head and sigh.
"In life, there are misfortunes and good fortune. Being able to avenge your parents is a truly joyous thing! You are very lucky, girl!" Ye Shengxiao said with a smile.
Han Ling Shuang clenched her fists tightly, her eyes red, and said, "Since I was eight years old, I have vowed to avenge my parents. Now I have finally achieved my wish. Apart from you, senior, I'm afraid no one can know the hardships I have endured!"
Ye Shengxiao nodded. "Yes, back then you were just a thirteen-year-old brat. Of all the times, you came to my Wuchen Palace and tried to hang yourself here. In this huge arbitration court, I, Ye Shengxiao, am always the one who disgusts others, but you, a mere brat, came to disgust me. Just thinking about it makes me furious!"
Han Ling Shuang burst into laughter through her tears, "Since you hate me so much, why did you save me back then? If it weren't for your encouragement, I probably wouldn't have had the will to live!"
"Was that to encourage you?" Ye Shengxiao said irritably, "I, Ye Shengxiao, have lived an upright life. You, a little girl, died in my palace for no reason. What will those old guys say about me, Old Ye? I was already slandered once when I was young. I don't want to be called a lecherous demon when I'm old!"
At this point, Han Ling Shuang gave a strange look, "Senior, I've always heard you're called the Old Pervert. Who gave you that nickname? Someone as upright as you is hard to imagine that you would be that kind of person..."
"What kind of person?" Ye Shengxiao said irritably, "If I were really that kind of person, I would have eaten you up long ago. Would I still allow you to sneak over here every few days?"
Han Ling Shuang blushed and said, "Of course I know you are a good person, a very good person, but even that can't stop the gossip of others! Everyone in the entire arbitration court fears you like a tiger, but only I know that you are a senior with high moral character!"
"Hmph, that's more like it!"
Ye Shengxiao snorted, then sighed deeply, "The origin of my reputation is a long story! As you know, when I was young, I was dashing and handsome. At that time, I fell in love with a woman from an ancient martial arts family. She was twenty years younger than me, but for cultivators, I don't think age is a problem!"
"However, I have some grudges with that woman's father. They don't approve of the marriage and have even chosen another husband for her!"
Han Ling Shuang stared wide-eyed in astonishment, “Who is it! How can this woman’s father be so ungrateful? With your status and strength, he doesn’t even look at you. What man in the world can compare to a handsome and dashing master like you!”
Her sweet words, like honey, made Ye Shengxiao feel incredibly flattered.
However, recalling these past events, Ye Shengxiao's face was still filled with despondency.
"I originally didn't want to mention this matter, but today, you killed that bastard Jiang Enyi, which vented my anger, so I might as well tell you about this unbearable past!"
Upon hearing Ye Shengxiao's words, Han Ling Shuang was shocked and blurted out, "Could it be that the woman's father has chosen Jiang Enyi as his son-in-law?"
Ye Shengxiao nodded and said, "That's right, it's that little punk! In my eyes, he's just a greenhorn. If it weren't for the judge's sake, I would have cut off his balls long ago!"
"Senior, who exactly is that woman? Please tell me quickly, I'm getting anxious!" Han Ling Shuang said impatiently.
Ye Shengxiao sighed, "Actually, you know this woman too. She is Duanmu Rong, the second young lady of the Duanmu family, an ancient martial arts family!"
"What??"
Han Ling Shuang was stunned; she never expected this outcome.
Ye Shengxiao sighed deeply and continued, "Back then, her father used every means to prevent me from being with her. He even treated Jiang Enyi exceptionally well to humiliate me, telling him how to break the defensive formation of the Duanmu family, allowing him to enter and leave the Duanmu clan at any time. If it weren't for that, how could Jiang Enyi have been able to launch a nighttime attack on the Duanmu family, causing their..."
Han Ling Shuang stared wide-eyed in disbelief.
She never imagined that Jiang Enyi and the Duanmu family had such a relationship back then.
"Since the Duanmu family values Jiang Enyi so much, why doesn't Jiang Enyi, a perfectly good son-in-law, choose to..."
"This is a joint decision made by the ancient martial arts families and the arbitration tribunal; no one can stop it!"
Ye Shengxiao clenched his fists tightly, his face full of regret, and gritted his teeth, saying, "It's also my fault. I'm used to being a loner and never took the Arbitration Tribunal's council seriously. They didn't even call me when they were in council. When the Duanmu family was in trouble, I was still in seclusion cultivating! By the time I came out of seclusion, it was all over! The Duanmu family and the Yun family were settled!"
Han Ling Shuang's beautiful eyes sparkled as she said, "But Miss Duanmu is still alive, why don't you go find her?"
Ye Shengxiao took a deep breath and said with red eyes, "When I came out of seclusion, Duanmu Rong was already in my courtyard. At that time, she had already gone mad. Everyone thought that I was the one who drove Rong'er mad, so they called me a lecher! But it had nothing to do with me at all!!"
Han Ling Shuang said, "So, how exactly did the Second Miss go mad? It's said that a master shattered the meridians in her brain, causing her to lose her mind!"
Ye Shengxiao glanced at her. "Rong'er and I are deeply devoted to each other. If it weren't for that person, who else do you think could stop me from protecting her?"
