"Little Lin, is what your father said true? You castrated yourself?"
Yue Lingshan was heartbroken, her eyes glistening with tears as she looked at Lin Bufan.
Little did she know, Lin Bufan was not the Lin Pingzhi she knew.
Before transmigrating, Lin Bufan had read many martial arts novels, including The Smiling, Proud Wanderer, and even watched several TV series adaptations.
In every version, Yue Lingshan has no good ending, being stabbed to death by Lin Pingzhi.
Lin Bufan sighed at Yue Lingshan's tragic fate, considering her a pitiful person, and didn't want her to die.
However, in the Fuwei Escort Agency tragedy, Yue Lingshan indirectly became Yue Buqun's accomplice.
In the teahouse, Yu Renyan provoked her, but she pretended to be weak even though she knew martial arts.
This forced Lin Pingzhi to step forward and invite trouble.
"Ling Shan, just pretend I'm not a man anymore, and forget about me."
Lin Bufan looked at Yue Lingshan's beautiful and pitiful face and said coldly.
Yue Lingshan, unwilling to give up, rushed over and hugged Lin Bufan with a sob in her voice.
"I'm already married to you. No matter what you become, I won't mind. I will always be with you."
"Even if I killed your father, you wouldn't despise me and would stay with me forever?"
Lin Bufan was even more ruthless than Lin Pingzhi, and he pushed Yue Lingshan away.
To abandon this relationship and end the old love between Lin Pingzhi and Yue Lingshan, one must be ruthless enough.
Yue Lingshan was pushed far away, knocking over a large number of tables and chairs, and fell to the ground, crying even more sadly.
"Lingshan." Ning Zhongze rushed over to help her daughter up, and the two embraced and wept bitterly.
Yue Buqun seemed like an outsider, watching his wife and daughter cry indifferently, without a trace of regret on his face.
His wife's happiness for the rest of her life was gone, and so was his daughter's happiness for the rest of her life.
So what? What does it matter?
Are wife and daughters important?
Is the revitalization of the Huashan School important?
Those who achieve great things do not concern themselves with trifles. For the sake of Mount Hua, Yue Buqun remained a hypocrite for his entire life, willingly castrating himself to learn the Evil-Repelling Sword Technique.
For one purpose only—to revitalize the Huashan School.
His eldest disciple, Linghu Chong, was a disappointment who caused trouble for him everywhere, yet he was able to expel Linghu Chong from Mount Hua and sever their master-disciple relationship forever. How much less would he be able to do something as trivial as Lin Pingzhi?
"Lin Pingzhi, if you hadn't taken the cassock and had instead married Lingshan in peace, I might not have killed you. Unfortunately... you brought this upon yourself."
Yue Buqun raised his longsword, his face instantly filled with murderous intent.
Hearing Yue Buqun's harsh words, Yue Lingshan felt even more sorrowful.
If Father really wanted to kill Xiao Linzi, he had already been plotting it for a long time.
With Xiao Lin's martial arts skills, how could he possibly defeat his father?
"Xiao Linzi, hurry up!" Yue Lingshan shouted hoarsely.
Lin Bufan did not run away. Instead, he raised his long sword and walked step by step toward Yue Buqun, saying in a cold tone, "Yue Buqun, let's settle this once and for all."
Yue Buqun activated the Purple Cloud Divine Skill, turning his entire face purplish-red, with purple energy rising from it.
Without a doubt, after practicing the Evil-Repelling Sword Technique, Yue Buqun's Zixia Divine Skill improved significantly, and his internal strength also increased by leaps and bounds.
Originally at the peak of the Acquired Realm, his cultivation has now reached the peak of the Innate Realm, infinitely close to the Grandmaster Realm.
With such strength, no one in the entire Ming Dynasty martial arts world would dare to underestimate them.
"Lin Pingzhi shall die."
Yue Buqun moved with incredible speed, instantly appearing in front of Lin Bufan.
Lin Bufan chose to go around to the back, and in an instant, he appeared behind Yue Buqun.
"Hide? Where can you hide?"
Yue Buqun turned around abruptly and attempted to assassinate Lin Bufan in a bizarre posture.
Lin Bufan dodged and weaved, avoiding Yue Buqun's sword attacks one by one.
After a dozen or so moves, Lin Bufan, who had been suppressed by Yue Buqun, finally discovered his weakness—insufficient internal energy.
In terms of fighting techniques, he and Yue Buqun were evenly matched, but he could overcome ten techniques with sheer brute force. As for internal energy...
The system only gave him twenty years' worth of internal energy, which is far too little.
Yue Buqun has been practicing martial arts and swordsmanship since childhood, and has accumulated more than 30 years of internal strength.
With the aid of the Zixia Divine Skill, Yue Buqun's internal strength is comparable to that of a 60- or 70-year-old senior.
Therefore, Yue Buqun's previous arrogance was justified—"We both practice the Evil-Repelling Sword Technique, but I have the Purple Cloud Divine Skill to back me up. What do you have?"
Clang!
Yue Buqun swung his sword down with great force, and Lin Bufan tried to block it with all his might, but immediately felt his tiger's mouth go numb and he could barely block it.
Yue Buqun sneered triumphantly: "Lin Pingzhi, how can your hastily mastered Evil-Repelling Sword Technique be a match for mine? I have been cultivating for several months on the back mountain of the Cliff of Contemplation, and my internal strength is several times that of you."
Lin Bufan gritted his teeth and said, "It's a pity that you castrated yourself, but I didn't. There's a line of small print at the very end of the Evil-Slaying Sword Manual that you didn't see—you can succeed without castration."
"What?" Yue Buqun's head throbbed with shock.
"Are you serious? There's that sentence on the robe?"
"Of course there is. You were too eager to cultivate and didn't read it carefully. You regret it now, hahaha."
Lin Bufan's words enraged Yue Buqun, who indeed flew into a rage.
"Ding." The system notification sounded: "Sensing Yue Buqun's negative emotions, the host is rewarded with fragments of Zixia Divine Skill internal energy."
Internal energy can also be fragmented?
Lin Bufan was puzzled when he suddenly saw a large pile of golden fragments fall from Yue Buqun's body, fly towards him, and merge into his body.
"Ding, internal strength increased by one year."
"Ding, internal energy increased by three months."
"Ding, internal strength increased by three years."
"Ding, internal strength increased by five months."
"Ding, internal strength increased by two and a half years."
...
The fragments varied in size, so after merging into Lin Bufan's body, some increased his internal energy by three years, while others increased it by several months.
