Heartbroken before Love Even Began

"Old Ghost Yellow Springs, what's the meaning behind your disciple Wang Chen's actions?"

Heaven knows how nervous he was when he saw Wang Chen ambush his own disciple.

Fortunately, Xiao Yan's subsequent appearance helped resolve Tang Ying's crisis, which finally put Sword Venerable at ease.

However, Wang Chen's actions have undoubtedly broken the tacit understanding between the Four Pavilions.

It can be said that if Tang Ying were to lose in such a chaotic battle and fail to even make it into the final Top Eight, it would undoubtedly be a huge blow to the reputation of the Myriad Sword Pavilion!

Therefore, this had never been done among the Four Pavilions before.

However, Wang Chen has already broken the rules. Do you think the Sword Venerable wouldn't be angry?

"Old Swordsman, what are you talking about? Isn't the whole point of this chaotic battle to achieve fairness? If your disciple gets eliminated because he's distracted, who can you blame?"

Besides, your disciple is perfectly fine right now, isn't he?

All I can say is that Yellow Springs Venerable is indeed shameless and thick-skinned.

Seeing that Wang Chen's sneak attack was thwarted by Xiao Yan, he actually tried to take the opportunity to cover up the matter.

"You old ghost of the Yellow Springs..."

Clearly, Sword Venerable was also thoroughly angered by Yellow Springs Venerable's shamelessness.

But those were ultimately unspoken rules among the Four Pavilions, and couldn't be brought up openly.

Therefore, although the Sword Venerable was angry, he was indeed helpless against the Yellow Springs Venerable at the moment, and could only glare fiercely at him.

But the Sword Venerable had already made up his mind that in the future Four Pavilions Assembly, among the Top Eight, there would be no disciples from the Yellow Springs Pavilion but only disciples from his Myriad Sword Pavilion!

The Myriad Sword Pavilion and the Yellow Springs Pavilion are locked in a fierce battle!

At the same time, Sword Venerable was also filled with gratitude for Xiao Yan's help to his disciple.

Conversely, Yellow Springs Venerable's expression was also quite unpleasant.

Firstly, Wang Chen's sneak attack not only failed to eliminate Tang Ying and Nalan Yanran, but also completely offended the Myriad Sword Pavilion and the Sword Venerable.

Secondly, there was the unexpected appearance of Xiao Yan!

Xiao Yan's heroic performance in the 1v12 match has naturally been witnessed by all parties.

To be honest, everyone was quite surprised by the emergence of such a dark horse at the Four Pavilions Assembly!

It can be said that Xiao Yan's previous display of strength was absolutely superior to that of the four Chief Disciples of the Four Pavilions.

At this moment, Wang Chen had just failed in his sneak attack on Nalan Yanran, and Xiao Yan was clearly in cahoots with Nalan Yanran.

So, what will happen next?

It's likely that not only Yellow Springs Venerable, but everyone else was aware of this as well.

It's no exaggeration to say that Wang Chen's earlier actions, due to Xiao Yan's intervention, were a classic case of trying to steal a chicken but losing the rice instead!

Not only did they fail to achieve their goal, they also offended two powerful opponents at once.

"Thank you so much for your help, brother. Tang Ying is deeply grateful! By the way, may I ask who you are...?"

At this moment, Tang Ying, having regained his senses, also expressed his gratitude to Xiao Yan.

At the same time, he also wanted to ask Xiao Yan's name.

Then, he saw Xiao Yan and Nalan Yanran's hands clasped together, and his words trailed off.

At that moment, Tang Ying felt as if his heart had shattered into a million pieces.

He hasn't even started dating yet, and he's already heartbroken.

Why was fate so cruel to him?

Noticing Tang Ying's gaze fixed on his hand as he held Nalan Yanran's, Xiao Yan suddenly seemed to realize something.

"This guy is actually eyeing my woman! I should have known better than to help him..."

Xiao Yan clenched his teeth and silently thought to himself.

Although Tang Ying is indeed a good person, from a man's perspective, Xiao Yan certainly wouldn't have any good feelings towards someone who covets his woman!

Otherwise, wouldn't that be perverted?

Of course, after this little incident, both Xiao Yan and Tang Ying turned their attention to Wang Chen, who was trying to sneak away.

Seeing that he was being targeted by two pairs of eyes, Wang Chen knew that this matter was probably not going to end well.

"Wang Chen, I've always known you were despicable, but I never imagined you could be this treacherous! As the Chief Disciple of the Myriad Sword Pavilion, I'm ashamed to be ranked alongside such a scoundrel as you! Come and fight me!"

After composing himself up from the breakup, Tang Ying channeled his grief and anger into strength, staring coldly at Wang Chen as he spoke.

At his peak, he was slightly stronger than Wang Chen.

But right now, there's a high chance we can't beat them.

However, just thinking about how the other party had ambushed him earlier, Tang Ying felt a surge of anger.

Therefore, even if he is no match for Wang Chen, that treacherous villain, to get away with it!

At worst, we can just find an opportunity to be eliminated in the chaos alongside the other side!

This is what Tang Ying is thinking right now.

"Tch, Tang Ying, do you think you're a match for me in your current state? I advise you to pretend what just happened never occurred, otherwise..."

"Otherwise, what else can we do?"

Wang Chen was making threatening remarks to Tang Ying in a sinister tone when Xiao Yan suddenly picked up the conversation.

This immediately made Wang Chen's expression darken again.

"Hmph, who do you think you are? You really think you're qualified to challenge me just because you dealt with a few worthless nobody?"

Wang Chen hadn't missed Xiao Yan's performance just now.

Although, based on Xiao Yan's performance, he had already placed the other party on the same level as himself.

However, his arrogance as the Chief Disciple the Four Pavilions still made him speak to Xiao Yan, a mere passerby, with a condescending tone!

"Heh, I didn't originally intend to go too far at this Four Pavilions Assembly! But you first attacked my woman, and now you're spouting nonsense here, so I can't hold back anymore!"

"I'll take this one. You don't have any objections to the one over there, right?"

Xiao Yan's final question was clearly directed at Tang Ying.

Tang Ying: "..."

To be honest, Tang Ying originally wanted to say that he had an opinion.

After all, he also wanted revenge on Wang Chen!

But when Tang Ying saw Xiao Yan's expression that said, "If you dare to say 'yes,' I'll beat you up too," he silently swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue.

At that moment, he felt an immense danger emanating from Xiao Yan's eyes!

That look not only revealed a desire for revenge against Wang Chen for ambushing Nalan Yanran, but it also seemed to carry another meaning?

Yes, Xiao Yan is actually a bit petty; he wanted to beat up Tang Ying, who was also eyeing Nalan Yanran...

Fortunately, Tang Ying wisely chose to keep quiet and didn't contradict Xiao Yan.

Otherwise, Xiao Yan would be really worried about not finding a reason to beat him up!

"Crunch"

As Tang Ying remained silent, Xiao Yan cracked his knuckles, making a series of crisp sounds, then turned to face Wang Chen with a very "kind" smile.

Wang Chen, in danger!
