Chapter 213 (2/2)

And as expected, facing such an opponent, Xia Liuhui was constantly suppressed. After a few exchanges, Xia Liuhui was already bleeding all over. He was completely disadvantaged in the spar.

His opponent said smugly, ”Cheap dog, kneel down and kowtow to your grandpa, and swear to stay away from Lu Xiaoqing. I will then consider sparing you.”

The opponent was a young man in black. His name was Ye Lingyun, an outer disciple of Cloud Margin Pavilion. He was a year younger than Xia Liuhui, yet he was already a ninth-stage Astral Realm cultivator. It was obvious there was a large gap between the two's talents.

”Screw that. Just kill me if you can!” Xia Liuhui was a much more resolute person nowadays, and he refused to agree no matter what.

”Is that so? Let's see how long you can last!” Ye Lingyun sneered as he started beating Xia Liuhui up again.

Xia Liuhui tried his best to resist the beating, focusing only on defending to reduce the amount of injuries he would suffer. Unfortunately, he was unfamiliar with the concept that defense alone would always result in eventual defeat. Thus, he was once again stepped into the ground by his opponent. The disciples in the surroundings also started heckling.

”This Xia Liuhui sure is weak. He can't even fight back? Pfft, someone from a small town is indeed useless.”

”That's right. Just with his puny strength he dares to offend Ye Lingyun? He is probably tired of living.”

”I heard Ye Lingyun had taken a liking to a junior sister who had come with Xia Liuhui. However, Xia Liuhui refused to let anyone approach her. That was how all this started.”

”Yeah, I heard the same rumor as well. That junior sister is called Lu Xiaoqing. She is quite the beautiful one. A lot of brothers are interested in her.”

...

Xiang Shaoyun who had arrived by now witnessed everything unfold. What he saw and heard ignited a raging fury in his heart. He once only saw Xia Liuhui and Lu Xiaoqing as regular friends that he would forget after leaving. But when he saw Xia Liuhui being a subject of bullying like this, he couldn't help feeling furious.

His anger was further compounded when he heard the reason, which also deepened his affection toward Xia Liuhui, making him feel like this was a good friend worth protecting. In fact, this person was worthy of being his brother!

Brother, a heavy term not easily used. Touching his brother was akin to touching upon a taboo.

”Cheap dog, stay far away from Lu Xiaoqing in the future. She is a woman I have taken a liking to. She is not someone the likes of you can hope to touch. Disobey and I will beat you up each time I see you. You have to know that here in the outer pavilion, private battles are allowed. Here, might makes right. Understand?” said Ye Lingyun with his foot on Xia Liuhui's face.

”D-dream on!” Xia Liuhui spat with great difficulty.

”Looks like you haven't been taught enough yet. Well, maybe I need to make you eat some feces,” said Ye Lingyun as he squatted down and lifted Xia Liuhui by the hair. Just as he was about to rub Xia Liuhui's face against the ground, he was interrupted.

”Remove your hands or die,” rang a voice filled with murderous intent.
