Chapter 3
Luo Hengzhi took the kick head-on.
Luo Yi clenched his fist in anger and took a step forward, but was stopped by Luo Hengzhi.
"Hey, Luo Yi, still following this good-for-nothing?" Luo Yan patted Luo Hengzhi's worst knee with a heavy hand and said with a wicked smile, "You know, I've always admired you. I'm giving you a chance. Give me a couple of kicks here, and you'll be back in the Luo Group tomorrow."
“My two cousins, it’s fine to humiliate me. I’ve been used to being humiliated since I was crippled.” Luo Hengzhi pressed her hands on her knees, her tone aggrieved, as if she had been bullied terribly. “But we’re still in the courtyard, with so many people watching. I can’t let people think that my second uncle can’t tolerate me now that my parents are gone.”
Luo Ming and Luo Yan disliked Luo Hengzhi, but they also enjoyed seeing Luo Hengzhi's miserable appearance, which made them feel happy.
Of course, it would be even better if it were worse.
"Who do you think you are? Do you still think you're the glamorous CEO Luo you used to be?" Luo Yan said with disdain as he looked at Luo Hengzhi. "You're just a cheap commodity that can be sold for 2 million. Father wouldn't bother with you."
"That's enough." Luo Kun got out of the car, his sharp eyes sweeping over everyone. Beside him was the Taoist priest Qiu, whom Luo Yi had just invited last night.
Those who had been watching the spectacle dispersed immediately upon seeing Roquinone's sudden appearance.
Luo Ming and Luo Yan immediately stood up straight, becoming cautious: "Father."
Luo Kun glanced coldly at Luo Hengzhi and said to his two sons in a deep voice, "Get to the company right now, or you won't need to go there anymore."
"Yes, yes." Luo Ming quickly replied, pulling Luo Yan away.
"Second Uncle." Luo Hengzhi greeted Luo Kun with the respectful and obedient demeanor one would show when meeting an elder.
Having fought in the market for many years, Luoqin had an extremely keen insight. How could he not know that he had been discovered by Luo Hengzhi the moment he entered the gate?
In contrast, her two sons readily cooperated with the others' acting.
Even if Luo Hengzhi is forced out of the Luo family in the future, how can we still label him as someone who has abandoned his family and ancestors?
Today's commotion in the courtyard is not only fodder for gossip, but also evidence of the humiliation Luo Hengzhi suffered in the Luo family.
Luoqin ignored Luohengzhi and walked straight past.
No matter how meticulous Luo Hengzhi is, how can he possibly stand against the entire Luo Group on his own?
Luo Hengzhi lowered her head and chuckled, a flash of coldness passing through her eyes. This old fox.
"Wait!"
When Ye Zi arrived at the Luo family's old residence, she found that Luo Hengzhi was not there.
Lying on a tree in the courtyard, waiting, Luo Hengzhi had just returned and hadn't shown himself yet when he saw this scene.
Unexpectedly... Luo Hengzhi is actually a pitiful little thing who can be bullied by everyone!
Ye Zi has returned to her original appearance, wearing a long blue robe, with her long hair cascading down her back, and she gracefully flies down from the tree.
Ye Ziyi appeared as if she were a celestial being descended to earth.
Luo Heng clutched her heart, the pain of having her heart ripped out, the agony from her dream now seemed tangible.
Luo Hengzhi instantly realized that Ye Zi was a cultivator.
Luo Hengzhi lowered her head, watching out of the corner of her eye as that extraordinary figure walked towards her step by step.
Luo Hengzhi's eyes instantly turned cold, filled with a chilling killing intent.
But it's fleeting!
Ignoring the scrutinizing gazes of the crowd, Ye Zi walked straight towards Luo Hengzhi, then suddenly stopped.
Ye Zi sensed a strong killing intent emanating from the seemingly weak and easily bullied Luo Hengzhi, though it lasted only for a moment.
[You must have been bullied terribly, wanting to fight back but powerless to do so. It's heartbreaking to see such a pitiful little grievance!]
Ye Zi walked to Luo Hengzhi's side, slowly squatted down, and came to Luo Hengzhi's eye level.
Looking at the handsome face so close to hers, Ye Zi couldn't help but smile.
"I've come to pick you up." Ye Zi's tone was unusually gentle, and her usually cold eyes held a hint of tenderness.
Luo Hengzhi was afraid that her eyes would reveal something, so she didn't look at Ye Zi for long before immediately looking away.
Little did he know that in Ye Zi's eyes, his appearance was that of a frightened and cautious man, which made Ye Zi feel even more sorry for him!
Ye Zi gently placed her hands on Luo Hengzhi's knees and infused them with spiritual energy.
[What if I like it even more? This face is so much more pleasing to the eye than in the photos, it's exactly what I want, it's deeply what I want, Ye Zi sighed inwardly.]
Luo Hengzhi felt a warm current flow into her knees, and the pain from being stepped on disappeared.
At the same time, he seemed to hear Ye Zi speaking, but he kept his eyes on Ye Zi, even though Ye Zi hadn't said anything.
Could it be... his innermost thoughts?
Luo Hengzhi guessed that when Ye Zi relieved his knee pain, she might have used some kind of magic on his body, causing him to hear what Ye Zi was thinking.
Of course, if it's true, it will definitely be a great help for him to better understand cultivators in the future.
Luo Hengzhi forced herself to remain calm so that Ye Zi wouldn't notice anything.
Let's observe further; it might just be an illusion.
"You're a fairy sister, aren't you?" Luo Ming, who hadn't gone far, ran back, staring at Ye Zi with amazement, unable to look away.
Luo Yan looked at Ye Zi with disbelief in his eyes. This was the person who had placed a group order on the substitute marriage website yesterday. The quality of Taoist nuns has become so high now.
"Young lady, this is my father, the head of the Luo family. Is there something you need for this sudden visit to the Luo family?" Luo Yan didn't believe that such a beautiful woman would substitute for Dan in marriage; there must be some mistake. He hurriedly invited his father back.
Ye Zi stood up, looked at Luo Kun, took out the marriage agreement between the Luo family and the Li family, as well as the contract from the Li family, and handed them over together.
“I am arranging this marriage for the Li family. From this day forward, Luo Hengzhi is mine.”
Ye Zi's tone was calm, but her eyes were firm.
Such a good-looking person should be full of vigor and confidence, living life to the fullest.
[Yet, she was so bullied that she didn't dare look her in the eye. She must have been bullied in the Luo family for too long, leaving her with severe psychological trauma. She must take Luo Hengzhi away from the Luo family today.]
Luo Hengzhi: "......"
I heard it, I heard it very clearly this time. This cultivator's inner thoughts are quite rich, but there's no need for that!
"What?! You actually joined that substitute bride website to buy a place as a substitute bride?" Luo Ming couldn't believe his ears. "Beautiful lady, you don't understand. Take a closer look; Luo Yunheng is a complete waste..."
Before Luo Ming could finish speaking, Ye Zi slapped him away.
Then he fell hard to the ground, and when he got up, half of his face was swollen.
"You...why did you suddenly hit me?" Luo Ming was in tears from the blow. Aren't fairy sisters supposed to be gentle? How could she have such a temper and slap someone's face like that?
Don't you know you shouldn't hit someone in the face?
Luo Ming wanted to cry, and in fact he had already cried a long time ago, his face covered in tears, which he couldn't stop, from crying uncontrollably after being hit.
"Say one more word and you'll know what trash really is." Ye Zi's eyes shot like knives at Luo Ming. This was the man who had stepped on Luo Hengzhi just now, and slapping him once was too lenient.
Today is her wedding day with Luo Hengzhi, and Ye Zi originally did not want to take action at Luo Hengzhi's ancestral home.
However, seeing Luo Hengzhi being bullied so miserably by these people, she wanted to cripple them one by one.
Luo Hengzhi: "..." Hmm, cultivators are indeed ruthless; no wonder they wanted to dig out his heart.
How could Luo Kun tolerate seeing his son being beaten?
This is a public slap in the face for him.
Luo Kun tore up the marriage agreement and contract in his hand and threw them on the ground. He then beckoned to the security guards and said coldly to Ye Zi, "The marriage arrangement was made by the Li family on their own initiative. My Luo family does not recognize it. Please leave my Luo family immediately, or don't blame my Luo family for being ruthless."
Ye Zi looked at the marriage agreement and contracts scattered on the ground, her eyes cold, which seemed to chill the surrounding air.
Ye Zi raised her right hand, and the broken marriage agreement and contract on the ground automatically pieced themselves back together, returning to their original state and flying back into Ye Zi's hand.
Everyone stared in shock, some even thinking they were seeing things, rubbing their eyes repeatedly to make sure they weren't dreaming.
Luo Hengzhi was also shocked. Is this what cultivators are like?
What kind of being is this? How will he deal with such power?
"Master Qiu... Master Qiu, there's... there's a monster... a monster!" Luo Yan was so frightened that her words trembled, and she hid behind Master Qiu.
Having witnessed too many ghosts and supernatural phenomena, Qiu Jing remained somewhat indifferent to what was happening before him.
Moreover, the compass on his body, which sensed the abnormal magnetic field, did not fluctuate much, indicating that the woman in front of him was not a demon.
"I am Qiu Jing from Yonghe Temple. May I ask, young friend, which school do you belong to?" Qiu Jing asked sincerely.
Ye Zi could tell that this person was not the evil cultivator the Li family had encountered. Although this person's cultivation had not yet reached the initial stage, he already possessed a slight Daoist aura, indicating that he was pure of heart and devoted to cultivating the Dao.
"Lingju Temple on an unnamed mountain," Ye Zi replied frankly.
Upon hearing the nameless mountain, Qiu Jing recalled the predicament he had been trapped the previous night.
Looking at Ye Zi's move just now, these reclusive hermits are mostly extraordinary people living in seclusion, and Wuming Mountain is even more unapproachable.
He cannot get involved in the Luo family's affairs.
"So you are a senior from Wuming Mountain. You and Young Master Luo Heng are a match made in heaven." Qiu Jing's words and actions became even more respectful.
"Master Qiu, you..." Luo Kun could certainly tell that Ye Zi was extraordinary, but he had never heard of Yiju Temple before, and it was probably just a small, dilapidated temple in the mountains.
Unexpectedly, Master Qiu of Yonghe Temple, the largest temple in Qingyong City, was so wary of Ye Zi.
Seeing that no one dared to step forward, Ye Zi turned around and handed the marriage agreement and contract to Luo Hengzhi.
"Are you willing to come with me? If you are, no one can stop you." Ye Zi asked softly, unsure if she had frightened Luo Hengzhi.
He's so frail, he'd be easily frightened, poor thing!
Once we get to the mountain, we need to take good care of ourselves.
Luo Yunheng: ".............."
Now Luo Hengzhi is absolutely certain that he can hear Ye Zi's inner thoughts, but these thoughts are too rich and varied for him to comprehend for the time being.
However, Ye Zi was going to take him directly back to Wuming Mountain today. Considering the formation of Wuming Mountain, this might be the only way for him to enter Wuming Mountain.
Seriously, does he really look that weak and pitiful? Was he overacting a bit?
However, this misunderstanding suited him perfectly.
Cultivators possess extraordinary abilities, which he cannot directly confront.
As long as he doesn't fall in love, he has the upper hand.
Besides, how could he possibly fall in love with someone who ripped out his heart! His hatred was boundless!
For now, we can only proceed slowly, getting close first to find the cultivator's weaknesses, so that we can defeat him with a single blow later.
"Mm." Luo Hengzhi glanced at Ye Zi, then quickly lowered her head and nodded softly.
Ah...so cute! I'll take her home and raise her right away.
Luo Hengzhi looked at Ye Zi, who had a cool and aloof demeanor and an expressionless face: "........."
How can a monk, a Buddhist monk, maintain such a cold and aloof demeanor while harboring wild and chaotic thoughts?
Luo Kun realized he couldn't stop Ye Zi from taking Luo Hengzhi away, but to vent his anger, he immediately brought out the family genealogy.
"If you insist on leaving today, your name will be crossed out of the family register, and you will no longer be a member of the Luo family," Luo Kun threatened Luo Hengzhi.
Once Luo Hengzhi agrees, his eligibility as the heir to the Luo Group will be completely severed.
Luo Hengzhi's eyes instantly reddened as she looked at the names of her parents and younger brother on the family tree.
Then, he resolutely picked up the brush next to him and crossed out his name from the family genealogy.
In this way, he will have no more scruples when dealing with the Luo family!
"Miss Ye Zi, please get in our car and let's go." Luo Yi felt relieved to see his boss finally free from the Luo family, and his goodwill towards Ye Zi increased rapidly.
"Wait a minute." Luo Yan stopped Luo Yi. "Luo Hengzhi is no longer a member of the Luo family. Shouldn't we return the Luo family's things, like that car?"
Luo Yi tossed the keys to Luo Yan with a flourish!
It's just a car. He's wanted to get a new car for a long time. His boss's garage is full of limited editions. He doesn't drive them on weekdays because he's afraid of being too flashy, so he drives this old car from the Luo family.
Anyway, his boss has plenty of money, everything he could want, and he lacks nothing.
"I have nothing left now, are you still going to take me with you?" Luo Hengzhi asked Ye Zi in a low voice, her eyes filled with worry.
"No, it's not the boss." Luo Yi looked at his boss, who was suddenly complaining about being poor, completely bewildered. What was his boss up to now?
"Let's go." Ye Zi summoned her spirit sword, which automatically grew to the size of a small boat.
With a gentle wave of her hand, Ye Zi sent Luo Yunheng and Luo Yi safely landing on the spirit sword.
Luo Hengzhi's face finally showed curiosity, while Luo Yi excitedly scanned the sword under his feet. Could this be the legendary sword flight? This is too awesome.
Ye Zi suddenly looked at Luo Hengzhi's legs with a probing gaze!
Ye Zifei then mounted her sword, and together with Luo Hengzhi and Luo Yi, they vanished before everyone's eyes in a streak of light.
The Luo family went completely mad when they saw this.
Qiu Jing looked up at the sky and sighed, "Truly a reclusive master!"
Ye Zi returned to Lingju Temple as quickly as possible, where Master Yunqing was already waiting at the gate.
“Master, he has the mark of the Heavenly Dao on his body!” Ye Zi walked towards Yun Qing Zhenren, pointed at Luo Hengzhi’s legs, and said with a serious expression.
"The Imprint of Heavenly Dao?" Luo Hengzhi disregarded the discomfort of flying and suddenly looked up at Ye Zi, only to see that the other party was pointing at his leg.
