Tian Xuanzi spoke in a tender and ambiguous tone, but those who heard him were almost driven mad with anger.
Ignoring everyone else, he lowered his face, his long, deep eyes filled with intense affection, only able to see the girl in his arms, kissing her earlobe as if no one else was around.
But then he spread his wide sleeves and embraced her in a domineering and protective manner, separating her from the others.
This was the first time Tong Su had been so close to someone in front of everyone, and her cheeks couldn't help but feel a little hot. She gently pushed him away.
"snort."
Tian Xuanzi reluctantly let go, his gaze lingering on her pinkish cheeks and her bitten, crimson lips.
Although his behavior seemed unrestrained, he was actually very polite. Apart from always hugging and trying to kiss, he did not make any excessive moves.
When she felt uncomfortable and resisted being pushed, even if he was reluctant, he would obediently let go and let her catch her breath.
"Sect Leader, my request isn't excessive. As I said before, Senior Sister Feng Yinyue tricked me into leaving the sect, then killed someone and stole their spiritual root. Is it too much to ask you to cripple her cultivation?"
Lu Han Yuanjun angrily said, "Feng Yinyue is my beloved disciple. How can you cripple me with just a word? You say she stole your spiritual root, but I see that your cultivation at the peak of Foundation Establishment is much higher than before. How could your cultivation have been crippled?"
"Of course—"
Tong Su bit her lip tightly, her expression hesitant.
Of course, it was his senior brother who saved her. His senior brother peeled off his own spiritual root and restored it for her!
However, Tongsu dared not say it.
She didn't know how much loss of spiritual roots would affect Tian Xuanzi, and even though Tian Xuanzi said it wouldn't affect his cultivation, she was still worried.
These people in front of me are all of low character; which one of them can I trust?
If she were to reveal that Tian Xuanzi had lost his spiritual root, and that they were to come up with a way to deal with him, wouldn't she be filled with extreme regret?
Tong Su was speechless. Seeing this, Lu Han Yuanjun and the others were extremely satisfied: "You were just making things up. Now you can't come up with a reason, can you?"
Just then, Feng Yinyue and the others finally arrived late, landing behind Lu Han Yuanjun and the others, and bowed, saying, "Master."
Her wounds were wrapped in gauze, making her look pitiful. Lu Han Yuanjun felt sorry for her at the sight and quickly reached out to help her up: "Good disciple, why are you here? You are covered in injuries and running around everywhere. Doesn't that make your master feel sorry for you?"
"Feel sorry for her? Zhang Luhan, you feel sorry for your disciple, but I feel sorry for my junior sister! This girl stole A-Tong's spiritual root, didn't she? Look at the overflowing wood-elemental spiritual energy she's radiating. She stole A-Tong's spiritual root, does she even deserve it?!"
Tian Xuanzi's face suddenly turned cold. He suddenly reached out, and a surge of demonic energy rushed out, suddenly grabbing Feng Yinyue's waist and lifting her into the air!
"Zhang Luhan, you said that A-Tong's cultivation level increased instead of decreased after her spiritual root was stripped away. Let me tell you, it's because I gave my own spiritual root to A-Tong!"
Feng Yinyue's cultivation was only at the Golden Core stage. How could she possibly withstand the onslaught of demonic energy from a Mahayana cultivator?
Her face turned deathly pale, blood seeped from her seven orifices, and she screamed in agony in mid-air!
The demonic energy entered her body, forcibly forcing out streaks of yellow and green light from within her, which flickered in mid-air. Among them, the green wood-elemental spiritual light was obviously extremely bright, far stronger than her yellow earth-elemental spiritual light!
"Judging from the spiritual energy reaction, do you still dare to say that she didn't devour A-Tong's spiritual root? I will kill her today!"
"Tian Xuanzi! Stop!"
