Top-tier Unruly Master

Chapter 1452 1489: Scumbag

"Miss Linger, I, Tong Xie, genuinely wish for you to be my girlfriend," said Tong Xie with utmost sincerity on his face.

"Don't you already have a girlfriend?" At this moment, Linger looked at him curiously and asked. The girl in black was Linger, the daughter of the renowned sect master of the Crane Immortal Sect in this area. Having spent some time with Tong Xie recently, she found herself quite intrigued by him. Not only was he refined, but he also had a sense of humor and charm. Clearly, her heart held some affection for Tong Xie.

Upon hearing this from Linger, Tong Xie's heart couldn't help but rejoice. Drawing from his extensive experience in pursuing women, he knew that when someone asked such questions, there was a good chance they had some interest in him. How could his heart not be jubilant? Tong Xie understood that Linger was the daughter of the Crane Immortal Sect's master, an identity with a powerful background. Although his Tong Family was also considered a notable family and had some local fame, it simply couldn't compare to the Crane Immortal Sect.

In Tong Xie's eyes, Linger was the perfect companion, clearly surpassing Wu Qianwen in every aspect. Therefore, Tong Xie soon made his decision in his heart, feeling tired of Wu Qianwen a long time ago. Then, with a face full of sincerity, he said:

"Where do I have a girlfriend? I've been single for many years now; my last girlfriend passed away due to a terminal illness, and I've struggled to overcome the grief ever since..."

Tong Xie casually spun a lie, so convincing even he was completely absorbed in his performance, almost shedding tears without realizing it.

Seeing this spectacle, Linger couldn't help but apologize:

"I'm sorry for mentioning your sad past!"

"But who is this Wu Qianwen to you?"

In the end, Linger was very curious and asked, clearly intrigued by Wu Qianwen. While she wanted to believe Tong Xie's words, how should she understand the matter with Wu Qianwen...

At this moment, upon hearing Linger mention Wu Qianwen, Tong Xie's face showed disdain. Then with an expression of great reluctance and contempt, he spoke of Wu Qianwen:

"She's just one of my pursuers. I've made it very clear to her that we are not suitable for each other, but she won't accept it. She even wanted to sleep with me. Of course, I refused. Such a woman is really annoying! Linger, you must believe me; she has nothing to do with me!"

... Outside the tent, Wu Qianwen heard Tong Xie's words clearly and thoroughly. Suddenly, her heart felt as if a boiling cauldron was bubbling within, her tears flowed uncontrollably. She hadn't expected the man she loved deeply, Tong Xie, would say such things about her. She was not only not his girlfriend, but she also became a pursuer trying to seduce him to sleep with her... Hearing all this, Wu Qianwen felt her body heat up, and even her heart began to race!

She really hadn't anticipated this, really hadn't anticipated this, hadn't anticipated that Tong Xie would be such a person!

Spurt...

Wu Qianwen suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, then her body went limp and she fainted...

Tong Xie, upon hearing the commotion outside, was startled and cautiously poked his head out to see. He was shocked to find Wu Qianwen already unconscious, and her face was covered in blood, looking terrifying. With disgust clear on his face, he returned to Linger's tent with a radiant smile and said:

"It's nothing, just a rat..."

Evidently, Linger hadn't left the tent and was unaware of the situation outside. Hearing Tong Xie's words, she nodded, and the two continued their conversation...

...

At this time, Ding Fan finished his cultivation, instinctively spreading his divine sense around, a habit of vigilance he always maintained. The next moment, Ding Fan furrowed his brows and walked out directly.

Once Ding Fan scanned with his divine sense, he discovered Wu Qianwen had fainted just outside the tent of the girl in black. Ding Fan quickly went to Wu Qianwen's side. Seeing that Tong Xie was inside the black-clad girl's tent, Ding Fan understood everything. After checking on Wu Qianwen, he found she had simply been overwhelmed with sadness, with no serious harm. He then took Wu Qianwen to Chai Er's tent.

"Sister?"

Seeing Ding Fan carrying Wu Qianwen, Chai Er was stunned, feeling anxious and worried about her sister. Ding Fan then recounted what he heard from the black-clad girl's tent talking with Tong Xie to Chai Er, who quickly comprehended the situation and felt deeply resentful of Tong Xie, while also feeling deeply saddened for her sister.

Chai Er knew from the start when Tong Xie appeared, Big Brother Ding Lin had warned her sister to stay away from him. Even later, she had repeatedly advised her sister, but by then, her sister was obviously blinded, even seeing Chai Er as an adversary. In the end, Chai Er could do nothing. Initially, Chai Er believed her sister would be alright, but she hadn't expected her sister to end up in such a state.

Chai Er couldn't help but wear an expression of heartbreak, clearly aware that this outcome was something she had somewhat anticipated, but still didn't expect it to come so swiftly!

"Big Brother Ding Lin, is sister okay?"

Chai Er asked Ding Fan anxiously, unable to hold back her concern.

Upon hearing Chai Er's words, Ding Fan initially believed Wu Qianwen was simply overwhelmed by grief, fainting and spitting a mouthful of blood due to a sudden surge of emotion. However, Ding Fan noticed som...eficiency within Wu Qianwen's body; the True Qi emitted seemed notably weak. Instead of hastily responding to Chai Er, he stepped beside Wu Qianwen and placed his hand on her wrist.

After a thorough examination, Ding Fan furrowed his brow slightly. Wu Qianwen's cultivation was previously at the Nascent Soul Middle Stage, but now it had regressed to the Early Nascent Soul Stage. The True Qi was exceptionally weak, at the lowest level of the Early Nascent Soul Stage. For such a rapid decline in a short period, there was certainly something amiss. Ding Fan couldn't help but suspect Tong Xie.

Ding Fan had previously suspected Tong Xie of cultivating an Evil Cultivation Technique. Now it seemed his suspicions were confirmed; Tong Xie must be harnessing women's Yin Qi for cultivation. Otherwise, Wu Qianwen's cultivation wouldn't have depleted so sharply.

Chai Er, seeing Ding Fan's grave expression, became more worried and anxiously asked:

"Is sister's situation very bad?"

"A bit, but it's not a major issue, merely several years of cultivation wasted!"

Ding Fan sighed lightly before replying.

Hearing Ding Fan's words, Chai Er was shocked and couldn't understand Ding Fan's meaning. Wasting several years of cultivation seemed a grievous loss. She knew both she and her sister cultivated since ch...cultivation talent was quite good. In fact, her sister's talent was slightly inferior to her own, so reaching this level of cultivation was no easy feat for her sister.

Currently, their cultivation was at the Nascent Soul Middle Stage, which wasn't extremely outstanding but was considered superior among young cultivators. She feared how much her sister's cultivation would fall after wasting several years. Chai Er felt deeply concerned and asked Ding Fan with worry:

"Big Brother Ding Lin, could you explain in detail?"

"Tong Xie cultivates an Evil Cultivation Technique, thus your sister's cultivation has been greatly absorbed. Now, her cultivation is only at the Early Nascent Soul Stage and if she doesn't cultivate swiftly, it will drop below the Nascent Soul Stage. Other than that, there's no serious problem; she'll wake after sleeping for a night."

Ding Fan explained with some regret.

Chai Er was shocked hearing Ding Fan; she hadn't expected her sister's cultivation to drop to the Early Nascent Soul Stage, declining rapidly below Nascent Soul if not hurried. The loss was immense, but she couldn't confront Tong Xie, knowing her sister willingly stayed with him. Even if Chai Er wanted to confront Tong Xie, she had no grounds.

Moreover, Chai Er was aware she was weak and confronting Tong Xie wouldn't be wise. Ding Fan knew this reasoning too, as he had already warned Wu Qianwen. Still, she ignored his advice. Ding Fan returned to his tent.

Ding Fan knew though everything was Wu Qianwen's voluntary decision, Tong Xie's heinous actions would eventually meet consequences as the Cultivation World upholds cause and effect. Tong Xie was bound to face repercussions, though Ding Fan acknowledged it wasn't his place to deliver them directly.

Understanding this, Ding Fan knew Wu Qianwen made her choices absent any pressure, providing him no reason against Tong Xie. Wu Qianwen remained unconscious for now, and how she felt about everything would only be known when she awakened.

Ding Fan was aware his perception of Wu Qianwen wasn't favorable, her seeming overly materialistic. Yet, he offered her some consideration owing to Wu Zun's friendship. However, he hoped Wu Qianwen learned from this experience.

But all would only be addressed once Wu Qianwen woke up.

Then Ding Fan returned to his tent, resuming his cultivation. Other matters weighed only slightly on his mind, with the impending auction event in Lan City being prominent. After all, the auction held a significant lead in finding Gusu Qingwen.

That evening, while cultivating, Ding Fan noticed some commotion outside. Expanding his divine sense, he discovered Tong Xie's caravan and the black-clad woman's convoy preparing to set off nocturnally. Realizing Tong Xie's motive of evading Wu Qianwen, Ding Fan understood.

Ding Feng found it inconsequential; if they wished to leave, so be it. Tong Xie's departure would lessen his impact on Wu Qianwen. Otherwise, waking to acknowledge Tong Xie's true nature while remaining in proximity would be awkward.

Even if Wu Qianwen wished to confront him, it would only exacerbate the issue. Naturally, Ding Fan wasn't intimidated by escalating matters. Despite being only a group of three, Ding Fan had no fear of them. He felt bargaining with such scoundrels was a disgrace to himself!
