Chapter 45 Anger
A group of people rushed out quickly, led by Liu Rujing and his group. Their eyes lit up when they saw Li Lianhua, and they all knelt on one knee and cupped their hands in greeting, "Sect Leader."
Li Lianhua waved her hand, somewhat moved, "Get up, everyone."
Li Lianhua looked around and asked gently, "How have things been going in the sect these past few days?" Liu Rujing stood up and replied respectfully, "Sect Master, rest assured, everything is running smoothly according to the rules, without any problems." As soon as they returned, they sidelined Yun Fo, Bai Shi, Xiao, and a few others, keeping an eye on them to prevent them from causing trouble, and were just waiting for the Sect Master to return.
At this moment, a woman stepped out from the crowd; it was Qiao Wanmian. Her eyes were slightly red as she looked at Li Lianhua. "Xiangyi, you're back." After saying that, she tried to grab Li Lianhua.
Li Lianhua quickly took a step back and looked at Qing'er. Seeing that Qing'er didn't react, she felt a little disappointed.
Qiao Wanmian also saw Qing'er next to Li Lianhua at this moment, and she had a bad feeling. "Xiangyi, you..."
Li Lianhua turned around and interrupted Qiao Wanmian, "Miss Qiao, we broke up before the East Sea War. Since we've broken up, don't call me by my name directly anymore. Call me Mr. Li or Sect Leader Li." Seeing her heartbroken look, he paused and continued, "Also, don't act like I've let you down. You felt I was too dazzling and burned you, that you weren't good enough for me, which is why you wanted to break up. Now I also feel that you are indeed not good enough for me. So please stay away from me."
The surrounding crowd erupted in a commotion, no one expecting Qiao Wanmian to break up with such an outstanding sect leader. However, the sect leader was right; if she was afraid of getting burned, she should have stayed away from him. Who was she trying to impress with this act? Some people, however, understood that Qiao Wanmian probably didn't truly want to separate from the sect leader. Unfortunately, the outcome wasn't what she wanted; she truly squandered a golden opportunity.
Qiao Wanmian swayed precariously. "No..." She hadn't really intended to break up with Xiang Yi; she just...
Yun Fobaishi and the others also arrived. Yun Biqiu saw that it really was Li Xiangyi and felt a pang of panic. The others were also somewhat guilty.
As soon as Xiao Zijin arrived, she saw Qiao Wanmian swaying precariously and glared angrily at Li Lianhua, "Li Xiangyi, how could you treat A-Mian like this?"
Li Lianhua was too lazy to waste words with him and slapped him away.
Xiao Zijin fell to the ground and spat out blood. Qiao Wanmian was startled and quickly went to help him up. "Zijin." Then she looked at Li Lianhua with a sad expression. "Xiangyi, Zijin is just worried about me."
Everyone else was speechless. Does caring about you give you the right to point your finger at someone and yell at them?
Li Lianhua glanced at her coldly. "What does this have to do with me?" Li Xiangyi must have been blind before; what kind of people surrounded him?
Qiao Wanmian froze under that cold gaze. Standing to the side, Xiao Zijin's anger flared at Li Lianhua's treatment of Qiao Wanmian. She questioned him bluntly, "Li Xiangyi, is this how you treat A-Mian because of this vile woman beside you?" As she spoke, she glared fiercely at Qing'er, who stood beside Li Lianhua.
Xiao Zijing's words instantly darkened Li Lianhua's face, and anger flashed in his eyes. Without hesitation, he used his inner strength to snatch a long sword from the hand of a disciple beside him, and then, like lightning, thrust it straight at Xiao Zijing, pinning him to the wall.
Liu Rujing and the others beside them were also furious. They had recognized the woman beside the sect leader from the beginning as their savior, but since the sect leader was busy with other matters, they naturally couldn't approach her rashly at this critical moment. Who dared Xiao Zijin to insult their benefactor?
Lin Yi rushed forward, pulled out the sword, dragged the person to the ground, and began to beat them mercilessly. He was one of the elites in that group, only 17 years old. He angrily beat Xiao Zijin, and the others, seeing this, also rushed in to beat her up. Those nearby, unaware of what was happening, looked on in utter bewilderment as they beat her to death, as if Xiao Zijin had killed their ancestors.
While beating him, he cursed, "You damn ingrate, I'll beat you to death! How dare you curse your benefactor!"
Qiao Wanmian stood to the side, covering her mouth and watching with tears streaming down her face, not daring to step forward.
Yunfo Baishi and the others kept their presence to themselves, not daring to show their faces at all.
