I Urge You to Be Kind

"Mm?"

Tang Tian raised a brow. In the Tang Family, the only person who still dared to shout at him like that seemed to be Tang Feng.

It seemed that after Tang Li had been beaten, Tang Feng had still chosen to step in.

After all, Tang Feng's refusal to act against Tang Tian last time had already caused Tang Li and the other youths to grumble.

This time, Tang Li had lost even more miserably. If Tang Feng kept yielding, he would truly chill everyone's hearts, and they would no longer support him.

"Is there anyone in the Tang Family so ignorant of life and death?"

The moment she heard that voice, a cold glint flickered in Ye Ruxue's beautiful eyes. Her aura was like frost, lowering the temperature throughout the hall by several degrees.

Ye Ruxue could be gentle, considerate, and understanding—but for now, only toward Tang Tian.

In the past, she had been Starfall City's famed ice beauty.

Never mind what Ye Ruxue regarded Tang Tian as; at the very least, they were comrades who had faced life and death together.

Now, someone was being so unbridled right in front of her. If this had not been the Tang Family, she would likely have already taught him a lesson.

Tang Tian helplessly shrugged and looked at Ye Ruxue. "Sorry you had to see this."

Ye Ruxue was an Organs-Hiding Realm cultivator. If she attacked Tang Feng, one sword strike would be enough.

The two walked out through the gates and saw Tang Feng standing in the courtyard, with a group of people behind him.

One person stood out the most: Tang Li, whose mouth and face were both swollen.

The moment he saw Tang Tian come out, he immediately cursed viciously, "You piece of trash, you ambushed me again and again, you..."

Unfortunately, his mouth was swollen and several teeth were missing. His speech leaked air, was slurred, and came out anything but smoothly.

"You what? A piece of trash like you needs me to ambush you?"

Tang Tian disdainfully retorted, then looked directly at Tang Feng.

A sharp light flickered in Tang Feng's eyes. From Tang Li's injuries this time, Tang Tian was no longer the weakling he had once been.

But as long as Tang Tian was merely at the Initial Blood-Burning Realm, Tang Feng still would not take him seriously.

He had come mainly to teach Tang Tian a lesson. Otherwise, he feared it would be difficult to command respect in the future.

Tang Feng was about to speak when his gaze landed on Ye Ruxue, and his eyes immediately lit up. He gave a light cough, cupped his hands, and said, "I am Tang Feng. Greetings, Miss Ye."

Unfortunately, Ye Ruxue's first impression of him was simply too poor. She did not even glance at him, much less reply.

Tang Feng was exceedingly embarrassed. Such a peerless beauty surpassed Qin Yuexi by who knew how much.

Qin Yuexi did not even think highly of Tang Tian, yet Ye Ruxue stood right beside him.

As a normal man, Tang Feng's heart instantly filled with jealousy. When jealousy reached its peak, it turned into fury.

Originally, he had only intended to teach Tang Tian a lesson. But now, evil rose from the depths of his heart, and the thought of crippling Tang Tian actually surfaced in his mind.

"Since you're no longer trash, then I'll cripple your cultivation and destroy your dantian, turning you into a complete and utter piece of trash!"

As for the consequences, Tang Feng no longer considered them.

Seeing Tang Feng suffer a setback naturally pleased Tang Tian. What pleased him most was Ye Ruxue's attitude toward him—it was absolutely one of a kind.

"Tang Tian, as a member of the Tang Family, you struck Tang Li so ruthlessly. Today, you must give an explanation."

Tang Feng pointed at Tang Tian and shouted angrily.

Tang Tian said indifferently, "I slapped him once, and that counts as ruthless? You seem to have forgotten how you treated me before. If you want to stand up for him, then act. If you just want to spout nonsense, this young master has no time for you."

"You!"

Tang Feng suddenly realized that he was simply no match for Tang Tian in an argument.

Tang Tian had always been eloquent. After spending so long with Fan Siren and frequently being put at a disadvantage by that venomous tongue, his own mouth had naturally become capable of angering people to death.

Tang Li watched anxiously from the side and cursed loudly, "Tang Feng, what are you waiting for? Why are you still hemming and hawing? Weren't you quite skilled at beating Tang Tian before? Now that you've seen me get bullied, you don't even dare to fight back? How are you supposed to make the brothers follow you in the future? I... Ouch... It hurts like hell!"

He had said a whole string of words in one breath, but in the end, he tugged at his injuries and clutched his mouth as he wailed miserably.

Tang Feng's mouth twitched. Being lectured like this made him extremely displeased, especially in front of Ye Ruxue. It was truly humiliating.

"Shut up!"

Unable to endure any longer, he turned around and roared at Tang Li.

Only then did he turn back to Tang Tian and say coldly, "Today, I'll teach you a proper lesson. This is for your own good as well. If I cripple you, at least you won't die beneath Lin Yichen's sword the day after tomorrow. At worst, people will laugh at you for being too afraid to fight and not showing up. It's fine—you're used to that anyway."

Tang Tian shook his head. "Tang Li was right. Tang Feng only knows how to hem and haw. Not only has he disappointed you all, he has disappointed me as well."

The moment those words came out, every youth present changed expression, and the way they looked at Tang Feng became different.

"Courting death!"

Tang Feng was furious beyond measure. At that moment, he wanted nothing more than to tear Tang Tian's mouth to pieces.

If he had known this day would come, he should have crippled Tang Tian outright back then.

Boom!

No longer able to endure it, he flashed forward and charged at Tang Tian, punching straight for his mouth.

Tang Tian was utterly unconcerned. With a slight movement of his feet, he was already in front of Tang Feng.

His speed was so fast that Tang Feng was startled, but no matter what, he refused to believe that Tang Tian's strength could surpass his own.

Yet reality was cruel. Before his fist could even reach Tang Tian, he felt his wrist tighten.

Tang Tian snorted coldly, grabbed Tang Feng's wrist, and violently swung him.

Tang Feng's feet left the ground as Tang Tian viciously slammed his entire body toward the earth.

Tang Tian had still held back his strength. Otherwise, Tang Feng would have been instantly killed.

Defeated in one move—more accurately, he had not even lasted a single move.

Tang Li and the other youths turned pale with terror. When they looked at Tang Tian again, there was nothing left but fear.

"As a young master of the Tang Family, I urge you to be kind."

Tang Tian casually flung Tang Feng aside without even sparing him a glance.

Tang Feng had been smashed until the world spun around him. When he barely managed to look at Tang Tian, he gnashed his teeth and roared, "Tang Tian, don't get cocky! The day after tomorrow, you will surely die beneath Lin Yichen's sword!"

"Courting death!"

This time, Tang Tian was the one who became angry. He had not been serious all along, and these Tang Family youths had begun to think he was easy to bully.

In the next instant, he appeared before Tang Feng, who was sprawled on the ground, and planted a foot on his back.

"I can overlook how you treated me these past few years, for the sake of you being my cousin. But as a member of the Tang Family, if you turn your back on your own family, I would not mind killing you and cleansing the family."

Killing intent filled Tang Tian's voice, while a fierce aura radiated from beneath his foot.

He never held back against enemies.

These Tang Family youths were merely flowers raised in a greenhouse. How could they possibly be compared to Tang Tian?

Over the past month in Starfall Forest, how many demonic beasts had he fought in bloody battle?

The killing intent emanating from him made Tang Feng, who lay on the ground, shudder and instantly sober up.

But after waking up, he was filled with shame and humiliation.

"Bastard, stop!" A figure suddenly appeared in front of Tang Tian.
