Lin Mian: Who Dares Touch My Disciple?

"You don't need to rely on my master. With his strength, taking action against the mere Star Luo Empire would only dirty his hands."

"One day, I will personally go to the Star Luo Empire and make your Dai Clan annul this engagement. I will make the entire Star Luo Empire bow its head."

Zhu Zhuqing's words were cold and resolute. This was not a spur-of-the-moment decision, but one she had made after long consideration.

Dai Mubai was momentarily stunned by her words. Only after Tang San nudged him did he come back to his senses.

A hint of mockery appeared on his face, as though he were ridiculing Zhu Zhuqing for overestimating herself.

"Just you? Do you really think that's possible?"

"Anyone can talk big. Making those big words come true is what's impressive."

"That's none of your business. Move aside now. I have nothing to say to you."

"Move aside? Impossible. You must come with me today."

"Do you know where those words of yours have placed the Zhu Clan? And where they have placed the Star Luo Imperial Clan?"

"I'm telling you, no matter what happens today, you must come with me. Go back to your Zhu Clan and obediently wait for me to marry you into the Dai Clan."

"Even if you die, you must die with me. This is your duty."

"Duty?"

"I have no such duty. My fate will not be decided by you people. I'll wait here for people from the Star Luo Empire to come, or for you to take me away."

"Can you take me away?"

"Since you refuse to listen, I don't need to be polite with you. Even if I have to use force today, I will take you away. No matter what, you are destined to belong to the Dai Clan."

Dai Mubai flew into a rage from humiliation and released his martial soul. It seemed he truly intended to make a move.

"Are you sure you want to fight here? Our master is right over there. If I shout, he'll definitely hear me. Don't blame him for bullying the young with his seniority then."

Ning Rongrong could no longer stand the sight of these people's ugly faces and stepped forward directly.

Especially this man. He was even more arrogant than she was. Did he think having the surname Dai made him so extraordinary?

"Move aside. This is between them and has nothing to do with you. Otherwise, don't blame me for attacking you."

Tang San stepped forward as well. He did not care whether she was from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect or the Eight Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

The Tang Sect General Compendium said that Tang Sect members did not seek trouble, but neither did they fear it. Tang San was no coward.

"Just you? Who do you think you are? You're nothing but a weed martial soul master that sprang up from the roadside. It's an honor for you to even speak with me, understand?"

"I won't lower myself to your level today. Miss, move aside at once, or don't blame me for pulling you out like a weed someday."

When it came to arrogance and tyranny, Ning Rongrong was no less skilled. She was even more overbearing than Dai Mubai.

"You're courting death!"

Those words completely struck Tang San's weak spot.

His martial soul was Blue Silver Grass, and people had always called it a weed.

Even though Yu Xiaogang had once said that there were no useless martial souls, only useless spirit masters, it did not change the fact that people mocked his martial soul as Blue Silver Grass.

It made him feel somewhat inferior, and he hated hearing others speak ill of Blue Silver Grass.

Ning Rongrong's mention of weeds completely enraged him.

"You little brat, you're courting death."

With that, he swung a furious slap at Ning Rongrong's face.

With Ning Rongrong's current physical condition, she could have dodged that slap. However, she did not, because Zhu Zhuqing had already seized his wrist.

Tang San only felt an enormous force clamp down on him.

After continuously taking Body Tempering Pills over the past few days, Zhu Zhuqing's physical condition had improved by an unknown amount.

Even compared with Tang San, who cultivated the Mysterious Heaven Skill, she was not inferior in the slightest. She might even have surpassed him.

"For Boss Dai's sake, let go of me. Otherwise, don't blame me for attacking you," Tang San said to Zhu Zhuqing.

"You people are always so proud, as if you can truly control other people's fates. Yet without using your martial souls, even your strength is inferior to mine."

Zhu Zhuqing's tone was filled with utter mockery, as though she had slapped Tang San across the face.

This woman actually said his strength was inferior to hers. What an unbearable humiliation!

Yet surprisingly, he did not shout in anger. Instead, he laughed.

"Hahahaha! So what if I'm weaker? In the end, you still won't be able to resist. You'll kneel before Boss Dai like a dog and admit your mistake."

"You women are born with the same fate as soul beasts, only used differently."

"Soul beasts are hunted for their spirit rings and soul bones."

"And women, even if they are of noble status, are still used for political marriages and the interests of both sides."

"Even if they are lowly, aren't they still used for bearing children, for producing children with Soul Power?"

"Love does not exist. Resistance does not exist either. So what if men indulge in wine and women? In the end, won't you still sacrifice yourselves for profit?"

"In this world, only strength is eternal. Only those who possess great strength can control everything."

"Soul beasts can be slaughtered at will, while women can only trade their bodies for protection. That is the real world, and that is your fate."

The worlds Tang San had lived in across both his lives had been extremely cruel.

In his heart, there was only the law of the strong devouring the weak, only strength above all else.

Then a voice he never expected rang out, throwing him completely into panic.

"Third Brother, is that truly what you think?"

It was Xiao Wu's heartbroken voice. She had finally understood Tang San's true thoughts.

Everything they had gone through together before had been nothing but a joke.

Their past vows had been a joke as well.

Perhaps he had known her identity long ago, only hiding it very well.

"X-Xiao Wu?"

Tang San's voice was filled with shock. He had never imagined that Xiao Wu would suddenly appear here, just as he was saying such things.

"Xiao Wu, listen to my explanation. It isn't what you think. I was only trying to scare her, really."

Dai Mubai, who had originally been preparing to attack,

along with Oscar and Ma Hongjun, who had been watching the drama from the side, were completely dumbfounded.

There was so much drama today?

"You don't need to explain. I heard every word you said today. Along with what you're saying now, I'm certain that you've been deceiving me."

"From this day onward, you and I have nothing to do with each other. We will never see each other again, even until death."

Xiao Wu's voice was filled with resolve as she quickly left.

Naturally, Tang San would not let her leave. This was the spirit ring he had prepared for himself; he absolutely could not let it slip away.

In truth, his father had long ago told Yu Xiaogang about Xiao Wu's origins, and Yu Xiaogang had told Tang San.

The reason he had not acted against Xiao Wu was that he wanted to wait for the right moment to obtain her spirit ring and soul bone.

Now that the matter had been exposed, even if he had to use every ounce of his strength, he would take Xiao Wu away by force.

Without hesitation, Tang San used Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track and swiftly rushed to Xiao Wu's side.

His Blue Silver Grass moved as well, attempting to bind Xiao Wu.

Just as he was about to succeed, Lin Mian appeared.

"Who dares touch my disciple?"
