A Goddess Knelt Before Another Man, and Yu Tianheng Lost His Mind on the Spot

The crickets chirping by Ma Hongjun and the others had no effect on Dugu Yan at all.

She had already walked up to Lin Qingmo.

The arrogance on her face had long since vanished, replaced by an indescribable nervousness.

She bowed slightly to Lin Qingmo, her voice very low. "Could you... come with me for a moment? I have something very important to tell you privately."

"?"

Lin Qingmo glanced up at her.

The gaze from behind the mask lingered on her face for a moment.

He didn't say anything, just nodded slightly, stood up, and followed her deeper into the corridor.

"A-Qing!"

Xiao Wu quickly called out and lifted her foot to follow.

Lin Qingmo waved his hand, signaling her not to follow. "It's okay, I'll be right back, wait for me here."

Xiao Wu stopped in her tracks.

As she watched their figures disappear around the corner of the corridor, she couldn't help but glance at them a few more times.

My heart was pounding with anxiety, but I could only obediently stand there and wait.

At the end of the corridor.

Normally, no one comes here at all; it's so quiet that you can only hear the footsteps of two people.

Dugu Yan stopped and turned to face Lin Qingmo.

She gripped the hem of her dress tightly, took several deep breaths, as if she had made a great decision.

The next second, she bent her knees and, with a "thump," knelt upright on one knee in front of Lin Qingmo.

Her voice trembled slightly as she clearly called out, "Dugu Yan greets Young Master!"

Even she herself breathed a sigh of relief after letting out that shout.

Grandpa said that Lin Qingmo was Young Master whom he treated with utmost respect, whose status was beyond imagination.

You absolutely cannot show her the slightest negligence, let alone offend her.

Now she's doing just that.

"Um?"

Lin Qingmo was also stunned.

I never expected that I would be recognized.

He raised his hand and removed the mask, revealing his handsome face.

With striking eyebrows, bright eyes, a high nose bridge, and sharp lips—he had the kind of handsome face that made you want to look at him more, a stark contrast to the aloofness he exuded when he wore a mask.

He possessed a youthful vigor, yet was remarkably composed.

He looked at Dugu Yan kneeling on the ground, raised an eyebrow, and asked with a hint of surprise, "You know me?"

Dugu Yan subconsciously looked up.

I stared into his deep eyes, and when I saw his face clearly, I was instantly stunned.

I had only seen Lin Qingmo wearing a mask before, during competitions.

All that is known is that his strength is ridiculously high, Yu Tianheng is no match for him.

But I never imagined that he would look like this under the mask.

She was stunned for a moment, then quickly came to her senses and lowered her head again.

His tone became even more respectful. "Young Master, it was my grandfather who told me."

"Grandpa said that you are of noble status and that I must be extremely respectful to you when I see you outside, and not be the slightest bit impolite."

"I didn't dare to acknowledge you on the field before, for fear of causing you trouble."

"So it was that old bastard Dugu Bo."

Lin Qingmo raised an eyebrow, her tone showing no surprise.

He took a step forward and reached out to support Dugu Yan's arm.

He said calmly, "Get up. There's no need for such formalities outside. It'll only cause trouble if people see you."

His fingers had just touched Dugu Yan's arm, and he was about to help her up.

A deafening roar suddenly came from behind, "Sapphire Star! What the hell are you doing?!"

Lin Qingmo and Dugu Yan turned their heads at the same time.

Then they saw Yu Tianheng standing at the entrance of the corridor with bloodshot eyes.

The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul had already possessed him, and purple lightning crackled around him.

Scales spread from his neck, making him look like an enraged wild beast.

I saw Dugu Yan call Lin Qingmo away alone when I followed her over, and I felt a surge of anger inside me.

So, they secretly followed them again.

As soon as he reached the corner, he saw Dugu Yan kneeling in front of Lin Qingmo, and Lin Qingmo reached out to help her up.

The two were so close that, in his eyes, it was clearly an extremely intimate scene!

He was already upset because he had lost to Lin Qingmo before.

I've liked Dugu Yan for so long.

Seeing the girl he longed for so humbly behaving towards another man.

How could I possibly hold back?

"I knew Yanyan had been ignoring me lately, turns out she'd been bewitched by you, you Xiao Bai!"

Yu Tianheng gritted his teeth, his Soul Power surging to its peak in an instant.

"Sapphire Star! I'm going to cripple you today!"

Anger had clouded his judgment.

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly pushed off with his foot.

He was like a purple lightning bolt, carrying Berserk lightning power, and punched Lin Qingmo hard in the face.

The punch carried a piercing sound as it cut through the air; it was clear that the user had used all their strength, leaving no room for retreat.

"Yu Tianheng, you!"

Dugu Yan's expression changed, and she was about to reprimand him.

Lin Qingmo didn't even activate his Martial Soul; he simply shifted his body slightly to the side, easily dodging Yu Tianheng's seemingly inevitable punch.

Then, he lifted his leg.

The movement was clean and swift, without any fancy moves; a solid kick landed squarely on Yu Tianheng's stomach.

"Bang!"

A muffled thud.

Yu Tianheng was sent flying backward like a broken sack, crashing hard into the wall behind him.

"Boom!"

Another loud bang, and cracks appeared in the wall.

Yu Tianheng slid down the wall, spitting out blood, his head lolled to the side, and he fainted on the spot.

They didn't even utter a sound.

Lin Qingmo pulled his leg back and patted off non-existent dust from his trouser leg.

His face remained completely expressionless, as if he had merely swatted away a fly.

He asked in a calm tone, "You just saw it. He attacked me first, and I knocked him unconscious. Is that alright?"

Dugu Yan quickly shook her head, her face full of disdain.

He didn't even glance at Yu Tianheng, who was lying unconscious on the ground.

"He's nobody to me, he was just being presumptuous. So what if he hit me? Young Master, you don't need to take it to heart."

She never had any feelings for Yu Tianheng to begin with.

Now Yu Tianheng actually dares to attack the Young Master.

The fact that they didn't cripple him outright was out of consideration for the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

The loud thud of the impact against the wall was particularly jarring in the quiet backstage corridor.

This startled the people not far away.

What was that sound?

"It seems to be coming from the end of the corridor!"

Xiao Wu was the first to react and immediately rushed out, running in the direction from which the sound came.

He was very anxious, fearing that Lin Qingmo have gotten into trouble or been framed.

Following closely behind were the rest of Shrek, and Qin Ming, who had heard the commotion.

A group of people rushed to the end of the corridor, and were stunned by the scene before them.

Yu Tianheng lay unconscious on the ground, blood still dripping from the corner of his mouth, his face deathly pale.

Lin Qingmo stood still, the mask already put back on.

Dugu Yan stood beside him, the two not far apart, and both appeared to be unharmed.

"Tian Heng!"

Qin Ming's expression changed drastically, and he rushed over in one stride.

He quickly reached out to check Yu Tianheng's breathing and then felt his pulse.

Her fingertips touched the hollow in his chest, and her face instantly turned extremely pale.

Yu Tianheng not only fainted, but also had several broken ribs and severe internal injuries, clearly indicating that he had been brutally attacked.

He suddenly looked up at Lin Qingmo, his eyes filled with disbelief and anger.

"What did you do to Tian Heng? Yanzi, tell me what happened?"

When Yu Xiaogang saw Yu Tianheng lying unconscious on the ground, his face immediately turned ashen.

Yu Tianheng is a direct descendant of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan; he is Yu Tianheng's nephew.

He's been beaten up like this, lying on the ground unconscious!
