After two days in a coma, Xiao Yufan still showed no signs of waking up, yet the aura of his half-step innate realm grew increasingly solid…
This injury wasn’t as severe as one might have imagined, but even if the old dog from the hidden Guo family had held back, it was still a furious strike from a peak-level expert, and its power was not to be underestimated.
“The people from the hidden Guo family deserve to die!”
Looking at the profile of the man lying so close to her, Huangpu Xian’er’s lips curled into a gentle smile, but her heart was filled with hatred for the hidden Guo family. This man had been injured twice because of them, and so the hidden Guo family had been firmly placed on her blacklist.
Her grandfather and the others had suddenly left, likely because something had happened to the hidden Huangpu family. It didn’t take much to guess that if the hidden Huangpu family was in trouble, the hidden Guo family was undoubtedly involved.
“The hidden Guo family has now been pushed to the forefront of the storm, and soon, they will pay the price!”
Hu Yingluo felt a pang of heartache. If only she were stronger, she would have personally killed that man. After being apart for several years, her feelings for Xiao Yufan hadn’t faded; instead, they had only grown stronger. Thankfully, she was fortunate…
At this moment, Xiao Yufan could only feel the pain radiating from every part of his body. When he had fought Guo Chen earlier, he had already drained most of his internal energy, and then he had unexpectedly killed Guo Junyu, leaving him with almost no strength left to resist.
He had taken Guo Hongguang’s attack head-on, and his entire body felt like it was about to fall apart. Fortunately, his body was exceptionally strong, and with the protection of the Dragon Taming True Art, he had managed to survive. If it had been anyone else, they would have either died or been crippled.
With every breath, Xiao Yufan could clearly feel the searing pain. That old dog had wanted to avenge his grandson, and it was clear he had intended to kill.
Streams of energy, like dragon shadows, continuously weaved through Xiao Yufan’s body. If he had been able to notice, he would have been astonished to find that his body was undergoing yet another transformation.
In another room, Old Master Situ and the three supreme experts from the Tian Alliance sat quietly, facing a strikingly beautiful figure, cold and aloof…
“Little girl, I know you are very close to Yufan. You were the first woman he ever loved, and I understand that your departure had its reasons. But why have you never mentioned it to that foolish boy again? Isn’t it exhausting to carry so much on your own?”
Such an outstanding woman had been won over by his grandson long ago, and Old Master Situ was somewhat surprised. But what surprised him even more was Cheng Ying’s identity.
“It’s tiring, but it’s better than having both of us bear it. As long as he’s happy, that’s enough for me.” Cheng Ying’s lips parted slightly, and her frost-covered, stunningly beautiful face revealed a faint, lovely smile.
“He already knows. Do you think he can still be happy? Yufan is just like you—he values emotions deeply. No matter what your identity is, he will keep you by his side.”
Old Master Situ shook his head helplessly. He couldn’t understand what these young people were thinking, but since this concerned Xiao Yufan’s lifelong happiness, he couldn’t just stand by.
“My fate was decided the moment I was born.”
Cheng Ying’s smile grew colder, and her pitiful expression made Old Master Situ’s heart tremble. He could almost imagine the immense burden this young woman had been carrying.
“If I’m not mistaken, you’re not from the Qingling Temple, are you? A guardian temple like that doesn’t seem capable of restraining you.”
Even Old Master Situ, who was usually so proud, had to admit Cheng Ying’s terrifying talent. He could sense that none of her strength came from external sources, meaning she had reached this level entirely on her own.
In this regard, she was even stronger than Xiao Yufan. If such an outstanding woman could become his grandson’s wife, it would be the best possible outcome.
Cheng Ying didn’t speak, only nodded slightly. But even this simple action made the brows of the three supreme experts from the Tian Alliance furrow. A woman who couldn’t be controlled by a guardian temple—her identity was likely anything but simple.
In the hidden martial world, apart from the hidden families, the guardian temples were mysterious but well-known to many. However, some guardian temples remained reclusive, and even their younger generation rarely ventured out.
But above the guardian temples, there were a few even more powerful forces—forces that even the Tian Alliance could only look up to.
It was hard to imagine the restrictions Cheng Ying would face if she came from one of those forces. More importantly, what kind of power did a woman who even the Qingling Temple had to revere possess?
“It seems the martial world is indeed heading for a storm. Even those forces can’t hold back anymore.”
Old Master Situ murmured, lost in thought. The convening of the Martial Arts Conference might just be the prelude to chaos in the martial world. He couldn’t fathom what those people were truly after.
For some hidden families, entering the secular world was indeed very tempting, and even some guardian temples couldn’t resist this allure. But Old Master Situ knew that the truly transcendent peak forces sought more than just this.
Reaching a higher realm—fame and fortune were mere trifles to some. What they sought was a longer lifespan…
“Please don’t tell him any of this. I don’t want him to feel any pressure. In the eyes of many, he is already outstanding.”
Cheng Ying bit her alluring red lip and spoke again. She knew that if that man learned more, it would only add to his burden, and that was the last thing she wanted.
“You should understand Yufan better than I do…”
Old Master Situ neither nodded nor shook his head. His light words made Cheng Ying swallow her response. After all this time, shouldn’t she know Yufan’s nature by now?
“If one day he can take me away from the Qingling Clan, I would be willing to stay by his side, just like the other women in his life.”
Cheng Ying’s voice was soft, but Old Master Situ still caught the words “Qingling Clan.” His usually calm heart stirred once again. His guess had been correct—this young woman’s identity was indeed extraordinary.
After speaking, Cheng Ying gave a slight nod to the others and walked out slowly. If she hadn’t been born into the Cheng family, if she hadn’t been chosen by the Qingling Clan, perhaps she could have stayed by her lover’s side, without having to bear so much alone…
After the Martial Arts Conference, Cheng Ying would accompany this man to explore that mysterious place. Perhaps then, their past would come to a perfect conclusion. But in the end, she would still have to carry the fate that had been hers from the very beginning.
This injury wasn’t as severe as initially imagined. Yet even though the old hound from the Hidden Guo family had held back somewhat in his attack, it was still a furious strike from a peak expert, naturally not to be underestimated.
“The people from Hidden Guo family deserve to die!”
Gazing at the profile of the man beside her, Huangpu Xian’er’s lips curled into a gentle smile, yet her heart brimmed with hatred for the Hidden Guo family. This man had been injured twice due to them, so the Hidden Guo family had already been marked on her blacklist.
Her grandfather’s sudden departure must mean something unexpected had happened within the Huangpu Clan. Without needing much thought, she knew that if the Hidden Huangpu Clan had encountered trouble, the Hidden Guo Clan would definitely be involved.
“The Hidden Guo Clan has now been pushed to the edge of a storm. Soon, they will pay the price!”
After two days in a coma, Xiao Yufan still showed no signs of waking up. However, the aura of the half-step innate realm around him was becoming increasingly solid…
This injury wasn’t as severe as one might have imagined, but even though the old dog from the hidden Guo family had held back, it was still a furious strike from a peak-level expert, and its power was not to be underestimated.
“Those from the hidden Guo family deserve to die!”
Looking at the profile of the man so close to her, Huangpu Xian’er’s lips curled into a gentle smile, but her heart was filled with hatred for the hidden Guo family. This man had been injured twice because of them, and so the hidden Guo family had been firmly placed on her blacklist.
Her grandfather and the others had suddenly left, likely because something had happened to the Huangpu family. It was obvious that if the hidden Huangpu family was in trouble, the hidden Guo family was surely involved.
“The hidden Guo family is now at the center of the storm. Soon, they will pay the price!”
Hu Yingluo felt a pang of heartache. If only she were stronger, she would have personally killed that man. After being apart for several years, her feelings for Xiao Yufan had not faded; instead, they had accumulated bit by bit. Fortunately, she was lucky…
At this moment, Xiao Yufan could only feel the pain radiating from every part of his body. When he had fought with Guo Chen, he had already drained most of his internal energy. Later, he had unexpectedly killed Guo Junyu, leaving him with almost no strength to resist.
He had taken Guo Hongguang’s attack head-on, and his entire body felt like it was about to fall apart. Fortunately, his body was exceptionally strong, and with the protection of the Dragon Taming True Art, he had survived. If it had been anyone else, they would have either died or been crippled.

In another room, Old Master Situ and the three supreme experts of the Tian Alliance sat quietly. Before them stood an exceptionally beautiful figure, cold and aloof…
“Young lady, I know you are very close to Yufan. You were the first woman he fell in love with, and I understand that your departure had its reasons. But why have you never mentioned it to that foolish boy? Isn’t it tiring to carry so much on your own?”
Such an outstanding woman had been won over by his grandson long ago, and Old Master Situ was somewhat surprised. What surprised him even more was Cheng Ying’s identity.
“It’s tiring, but it’s better than having both of us bear it. As long as he’s happy, that’s enough.” With a light smile, Cheng Ying’s icy beauty softened slightly.
“He already knows. Do you think he can still be happy? Yufan is just like you—he values emotions deeply. No matter your identity, he will keep you by his side.”
Shaking his head helplessly, Old Master Situ couldn’t understand what these young people were thinking. But since this concerned Xiao Yufan’s lifelong happiness, he couldn’t just stand by.
“My fate was decided the moment I was born.”
Cheng Ying’s smile turned colder, and her pitiful expression made Old Master Situ’s heart tremble. He could almost imagine the immense burden this young woman carried.

Without speaking, Cheng Ying simply nodded. But even this simple action made the brows of the three supreme experts from the Tian Alliance furrow. A woman who couldn’t be controlled by a guardian temple likely had a very unusual identity.
In the hidden martial world, apart from the hidden families, the guardian temples were mysterious but well-known. However, some of the guardian temples remained reclusive, and even their younger generation rarely ventured out.
But above the guardian temples, there were a few other forces—entities that even the Tian Alliance could only look up to.
It was hard to imagine the restrictions Cheng Ying would face if she came from one of those forces. More importantly, what kind of power did a woman who even the Qingling Temple had to serve possess?
“It seems the martial world is indeed heading for a storm. Even those forces can’t hold back anymore.”
Muttering to himself, Old Master Situ fell into deep thought. The martial arts conference might just be the prelude to chaos in the martial world. He couldn’t fathom what those people were truly after.
For some hidden families, entering the secular world was indeed very tempting. Even some guardian temples couldn’t resist this allure. But Old Master Situ knew that the truly transcendent peak forces sought more than just this.
Reaching a higher realm—fame and fortune were mere trifles to some. What they sought was a longer lifespan…
“Please don’t tell him any of this. I don’t want him to feel any pressure. In the eyes of many, he’s already outstanding.”
Biting her alluring red lips, Cheng Ying spoke again. She knew that if the man learned more, it would only add to his burden, and that wasn’t what she wanted.
“You should understand Yufan better than I do…”
Old Master Situ neither nodded nor shook his head. His light words made Cheng Ying swallow her next sentence. After all this time, how could she not understand Yufan’s nature?
“If one day he can take me away from the Qingling Clan, I would be willing to stay by his side, just like the other women around him.”
Cheng Ying’s voice was soft, but Old Master Situ still caught the words “Qingling Clan.” His usually calm heart stirred once again. His guess had been correct—this young woman’s identity was indeed extraordinary.

After the martial arts conference, Cheng Ying would accompany this man to explore that mysterious place. Perhaps then, they could put a perfect end to their past. But in the end, she would still have to carry the fate that had been hers from the very beginning.
At this moment, Xiao Yufan could only feel pain emanating from all parts of his body. When he had fought Guo Chen, he had already exhausted most of his inner energy. Later, he had unexpectedly killed Guo Junyu, leaving him nearly defenseless.
He had taken Guo Hongguang’s full assault head-on, and his entire body felt like it was falling apart. Fortunately, his body was unusually strong and protected by the Dragon-Taming Cultivation Technique. If it were someone else, they would either be dead or crippled.
Each breath Xiao Yufan took brought him sharp, piercing pain. The old dog had wanted to avenge his grandson, and clearly, he had intended to kill.
Streams of energy, like dragon shadows, continuously flowed through Xiao Yufan’s body. If Xiao Yufan had been conscious, he would have been astonished to discover that his body had undergone another subtle transformation.
In another room, Master Situ and the three supreme experts of the Tian Alliance sat quietly. Before them was a graceful and solitary figure, exuding icy aloofness.
“Little girl, I know you’re very close to Yufan. You were the first woman he ever loved. And I know your departure had its reasons. But why have you never mentioned it to that foolish boy? Carrying so much alone, isn’t it tiring?”
Such an extraordinary woman had been captured early on by his grandson. Master Situ was somewhat surprised, even more so by Cheng Ying’s identity.
“Tiring, but it’s better than both of us bearing it. As long as he lives happily, it’s enough!” Cheng Ying gently spoke, her icy beauty softening into a faint, lovely smile.
“Do you think he can still be happy now that he already knows? Yufan, like you, is a person of deep feelings. No matter what your identity is, he will always keep you by his side!”
Shaking his head helplessly, Master Situ couldn’t understand what these young people were thinking. But since it involved Xiao Yufan’s lifelong happiness, naturally, he couldn’t ignore it.
“My fate was decided the moment I was born!”
Cheng Ying’s smile carried more coldness, and the pitiable look on her face sent a tremor through Master Situ’s heart. He could almost imagine how heavy a burden she had carried all these years.
“If I’m not mistaken, you probably aren’t really from the Azure Spirit Temple, are you? A guardian temple shouldn’t be able to restrain someone like you.”
Even though Master Situ had always held himself in high esteem, he had to admit Cheng Ying’s terrifying talent. He could sense that none of her strength came from external sources, meaning she had reached this level entirely on her own.
In this regard, she was even stronger than Xiao Yufan. If such an extraordinary woman could become his granddaughter-in-law, it would be the best of fortunes.
Cheng Ying didn’t speak, only nodding slightly. Yet this simple gesture caused the brows of the three supreme experts of the Tian Alliance to furrow. A woman not even the guardian temples could control—her identity must be far from ordinary.
Within the Hidden Martial Cultivation World, aside from the Hidden Clans, the Guardian Temples were well known to many in the martial world, though some remained reclusive, even keeping their younger generations away from the world.
Yet above the Guardian Temples, there were a few rare forces—ones even the Tian Alliance could barely match.
It was unimaginable how much restraint Cheng Ying must have endured if she truly came from one of those factions. Most importantly, a woman whom even the Azure Spirit Temple revered must possess immense power.
“It seems the martial world is indeed about to face a storm. Even those factions can no longer remain still!”
Muttering softly, Master Situ fell into thought. The upcoming Martial Gathering might only be the prelude to the chaos about to unfold in the martial world. He truly couldn’t fathom what those hidden forces were planning.
For some Hidden Clans, entering the world was indeed tempting, even for some Guardian Temples. But Master Situ understood that the truly transcendent forces wanted far more than that.
To pursue higher realms, fame and fortune were mere illusions to some people. What they truly sought was a longer life…
“I hope you won’t tell him any of this. I don’t want him to bear any pressure. In the eyes of many, he’s already extraordinary enough!”
Cheng Ying bit gently on her alluring red lip before speaking again. She knew the man’s nature well—if he knew more, it would only bring him greater stress, which was not what she wanted.
“You should understand Yufan better than I do…”
Master Situ didn’t nod nor shake his head. His light words left Cheng Ying swallowing her words. Indeed, after all this time, didn’t she already know Yufan’s character?
“If one day he can take me away from the Azure Spirit Clan, I will be willing to stay by his side, just like the other women in his life!”
Cheng Ying’s voice was soft, but Master Situ still caught the words “Azure Spirit Clan.” Even someone as unshaken as he was felt another surge of astonishment. His suspicions had been correct—this little girl’s identity was indeed extraordinary.
After speaking, Cheng Ying slightly bowed to the group and slowly walked out. If only she hadn’t been born into the Cheng family, if only she hadn’t been chosen by the Azure Spirit Clan, she could now be by her beloved’s side without having to bear so much alone…
After the Martial Gathering, Cheng Ying would accompany this man into the unknown, perhaps then they could bring a full and fulfilling end to their past. But for now, she must still carry the fate that had belonged to her from the very beginning…
