I Urge You to Be Kind

"Hm?"

Tang Tian raised an eyebrow. In the Tang Family, the only one who still dared to bark at him like this seemed to be Tang Feng.

It looked like after Tang Li had been beaten, Tang Feng had still chosen to step in.

After all, Tang Feng's failure to act against Tang Tian last time had already drawn considerable criticism from Tang Li and the other youths.

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 still someone in the Tang Family who doesn't know whether they're dead or alive?"

The moment she heard that voice, icy light 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, that was reserved for Tang Tian alone.

In the past, she had been Starfall City's renowned Ice Beauty.

Leaving aside what Ye Ruxue regarded Tang Tian as to herself, they were at least friends who had faced life and death together.

Now, someone was being so brazen right in front of her. If this had not been the Tang Family estate, 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 would be enough.

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

One person stood out in particular: Tang Li, whose mouth and face were swollen.

The instant he saw Tang Tian emerge, he viciously cursed, "You worthless piece of trash, you ambushed me again and again. You..."

Unfortunately, his mouth was swollen and he was missing several teeth. Not only did his words leak air, they came out garbled and unclear.

"What are you stammering for? With trash like you, do I even need to ambush you?"

Tang Tian disdainfully dismissed him before turning directly toward Tang Feng.

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

But if 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 he would have trouble commanding respect in the future.

Tang Feng was about to speak, but when his gaze fell upon Ye Ruxue, 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 terrible. She did not even spare him a glance, much less reply.

Tang Feng was awkward beyond measure. Such a peerless beauty surpassed Qin Yuexi by who knew how much.

Qin Yuexi looked down on Tang Tian, yet Ye Ruxue stood at Tang Tian's side.

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

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

"Since you're no longer trash, then I'll cripple your cultivation and destroy your dantian, turning you into trash through and through!"

As for the consequences, Tang Feng had no mind to consider them.

Seeing Tang Feng suffer a rebuff, Tang Tian was naturally delighted. 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 with such cruelty. Today, you must give an explanation."

Tang Feng pointed at Tang Tian and shouted angrily.

Tang Tian said calmly, "Slapping him once counts as being cruel? You seem to have forgotten how you treated me before. If you want to stand up for him, then make your move. If you want to spout nonsense, this young master has no time for it."

"You!"

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

Tang Tian had always been eloquent. After spending so long with Fan Siren and frequently getting the worse of his poisonous tongue, Tang Tian's own mouth had naturally become capable of infuriating people to death.

Tang Li watched anxiously from the side and cursed, "Tang Feng, what time is this, and you're still hemming and hawing? Didn't you used to beat Tang Tian with ease? Now that you see me being bullied, you don't even dare fight back? How are you supposed to make the brothers follow you in the future? I... Ow... It hurts like hell!"

He had spoken a whole stream of words in one breath, only to tug at his injuries in the end. Clutching his mouth, he howled miserably.

Tang Feng's mouth twitched. Being lectured like this was deeply unpleasant, especially in front of Ye Ruxue. It was utterly humiliating.

"Shut up!"

Unable to endure it 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 too. If I cripple you, at least you won't die under 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 it 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 fell, every youth present changed expression. The way they looked at Tang Feng was no longer the same.

"Courting death!"

Tang Feng was beside himself with rage. At that moment, he wanted nothing more than to tear Tang Tian's mouth apart.

Had he known this day would come, he should have crippled Tang Tian himself back then.

Boom!

No longer able to restrain himself, he flashed forward and charged at Tang Tian, throwing a punch at his mouth.

Tang Tian did not care in the slightest. With a slight movement of his feet, he had already arrived in front of Tang Feng.

His speed was so fast that Tang Feng jumped in fright, yet no matter what, he could not believe Tang Tian's strength would surpass his own.

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

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

Tang Feng's entire body left the ground as Tang Tian savagely smashed him into the earth.

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

Defeated in one move—more precisely, he had not even lasted one move.

Tang Li and the other youths turned pale with terror. When they looked at Tang Tian again, there was only fear in their eyes.

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

Tang Tian flung Tang Feng aside and did not even spare him another look.

Tang Feng was smashed so badly that heaven and earth spun around him. When he barely managed to look at Tang Tian, he gritted his teeth and roared, "Tang Tian, don't get cocky! The day after tomorrow, you will definitely die beneath Lin Yichen's sword!"

"Courting death!"

This time, it was Tang Tian's turn to become angry. Since he had not truly gotten serious, these Tang Family youths had thought 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 over the past few years, for the sake of you being my cousin. But as a member of the Tang Family, if you dare betray us from within, I won't mind killing you and cleansing the family."

Killing intent filled Tang Tian's voice, while a fierce aura seeped 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 mentioned in the same breath as Tang Tian?

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

The killing intent radiating from him made Tang Feng, who lay facedown on the ground, shudder and instantly regain his senses.

But once he woke, he was filled with shame and humiliation.

"Bastard, stop!" A figure suddenly appeared before Tang Tian.

[Author's Note]: The third update is here today. More updates are coming shortly. Seeing everyone beating Tang Tian, Ye Ruxue stood at the side and shouted, "Passersby, don't miss out—give some silver tickets to show your support!"
