The Way of The Dao

Chapter 707 How Could I Be Angry?

"She is very important in my heart!"

Daihang Guan spoke seriously, not doubting his words. His tone of voice was so firm that there was no room for doubt or questioning.

The tense atmosphere became much more solidified in the place, with a chillingly cold feeling. Anyone could feel the flow of Daihang Guan's aura in his body, as if he was preparing to fight.

"If you oppose against me, I won't hesitate to kill her."

Unexpectedly, a slight killing intent radiated from Ling Tian as he coldly whispered, enveloping Daihang Guan and Yi Jingwen, leaving everyone present stunned.

Yi Jingwen paled more and Daihang Guan gritted his teeth, sensing that Ling Tian was serious when he felt a suffocating pressure. Without thinking, Daihang Guan silently mobilized his cultivation essence.Rêạd new chapters at novelhall.com

Ling Tian's expression turned dark as he sensed the change in Daihang Guan's aura flow. His icy gaze pierced through Daihang Guan, breaking through the barriers easily.

"Senior Brother! It's alright! You don't have to worry about me!"

However, a trembling and tearful voice was heard at once, breaking the tense atmosphere of the place a little.

"Wenwen..." Daihang Guan blinked in surprise without letting his guard down at Ling Tian and looked towards Yi Jingwen.

"Senior Brother, I'm very grateful for everything you've done for me even up to this moment, but I don't want you to fight against your Master or anyone else." Yi Jingwen squeezed Daihang Guan's hand with both of her small hands, while her eyes filled with tears but she tried to form a trembling smile, "Your Master is right, I am not an outstanding or beautiful woman, let alone have a special identity, I was just a weak servant girl in the past without any background or special family. But I don't regret being one, because otherwise I wouldn't have met you and I could never know that I could be so happy to be by your side..."

Daihang Guan was stunned to hear Yi Jingwen's trembling words.

"But Wenwen-"

"I don't want you to suffer because of me! You have to live happily with your family without cutting ties!"

Yi Jingwen interrupted Daihang Guan's words and shook her head while still smiling at him. One of her hands moved to his face and gently caressed his cheek, looking at him with teary eyes that conveyed joy, affection and appreciation.

"I am so happy that I was able to meet you, senior brother. Ever since you reached out your hand to me and intervened for me, my heart has known peace, relief, joy and happiness that I never thought I could ever have. If I have to give up my life so that you may live and not have any problems, I would gladly do so... what you have given me is something precious that is priceless and that I will never forget. Only you are in my heart, Daihang Guan!"

Yi Jingwen's complexion blushed completely, but she was still trembling with sadness and despair, as if confessing what was hidden in her heart and saying goodbye. But her heart was filled with sweetness, joy, relief and happiness to see that Daihang Guan had defended her without hesitation a few moments ago, affirming his feelings for her and clarifying her importance in his heart. But Yi Jingwen did not want Daihang Guan to get hurt or be against his family, so she had no choice but to stay away even if she could not bear it.

A soft but still somewhat rough blow was heard.

Daihang Guan trembled slightly before opening his eyes fearfully, feeling a small blow on his forehead. His gaze met Ling Tian's smiling and affectionate expression as he realized that his hand had landed on his own shoulder.

"Master, you..." Daihang Guan hesitated as he was unsure what exactly Ling Tian was doing. Yi Jingwen also slowly opened her eyes, not loosening her grip on Daihang Guan but she too did not understand what was going on.

"What, you still want to fight?" Ling Tian asked mischievously.

Daihang Guan was left confused but still not relaxing in front of Ling Tian. His mind could not process what was happening.

"Brother Guan, Master will not fight you, much less is he rejecting Wenwen. Can't you see that he was only testing you?"

When they saw that Daihang Guan could not comprehend what was happening, Lu Wuhu reached over from the side and gently patted Daihang Guan's back, explaining with a faint smile to his brother what was going on. Lu Wuhu had remained silent without intervening, knowing all along what Ling Tian was doing by behaving in such a manner.

"Huh? Brother, Master, he..."

Daihang Guan blinked in confusion at Lu Wuhu, listening to his words. He then turned to look at Ling Tian who was still looking at him with a faint amused and mischievous smile.

Yi Jingwen was also confused and dumbfounded. Wasn't Daihang Guan's Master supposed to be rejecting her and that was why all this trouble had been raised?

"Do you think your Master would be so mean as to force you to decide about your life and more so if it's about the person you love?"

Ling Tian denied with a chuckle as he added a little force in his hand on Daihang Guan's shoulder.

"Th-then you're not against me being with Wenwen? Master, you're not displeased or angry?"

However, Daihang Guan still asked hesitantly, while his voice trembled and his demeanor gradually became that of a small child who knew he had done something wrong. Yi Jingwen also looked at Ling Tian in confusion, thinking that something had happened in the previous few seconds that she didn't see.

"Why would I be?"

Ling Tian smiled happily as his two hands finally reached out and fell on both of their heads gently, comforting the two of them with peace and tranquility. His gaze landed on Yi Jingwen as well and shone, smiling affectionately at her, not showing any displeasure or annoyance.

"My little disciple, who was so insecure, fearful and whiny in the past when he was a little boy has now become a mature and amazing young adult, confident enough to stand up for the one he loves without hesitation. How could I be angry?"
