Jiao Chen blurted out, and her palm force pierced the air.

Lin Yan used a palm technique that no one in the martial world had ever seen before. Her palm wind was like smoke and mist, drifting and enveloping, leaving people nowhere to hide.

However, Feng Bujue could avoid an attack that ordinary people could not.

His method of dodging was also very simple... he simply fell backward, a free fall... landing outside the courtyard wall.

"I'll be... so there was a purpose to climbing over the wall instead of using the gate?"

"I thought he was just like Tian Ma Xing Kong, purely trying to show off by making an entrance from a high place..."

"Actually... that's not necessarily the case. Maybe his original intention was just to show off, and he's just improvising... taking advantage of the terrain."

"Who knows... are you sure these things aren't part of his calculations? He is Feng Bujue after all..."

"Yeah... he is Feng Bujue after all..."

In the eyes of the viewers watching the livestream, Brother Jue had obviously become somewhat demonized; no one could guess what he was thinking, and no one could say for sure whether his every move was spontaneous or pre-planned... in a sense, a player like Feng Bujue was simply a nightmare for those professional analysis teams.

"Eunuch Cao, I don't understand this~" A few seconds later, Feng Bujue's voice sounded again from outside the courtyard wall; this time, he came in directly from the gate, walking and saying, "Back then, you also contributed to dealing with Lin Chang... could it be... you hid this from Miss Lin?"

"What do you think?" Cao Qin replied with a smile.

"Hmm... you don't seem to need to do that..." Feng Bujue nonchalantly walked through the group of martial arts masters who were sitting and healing, continuing to talk to Cao Qin.

"That's right, there's no need..." Cao Qin continued, "The first day I met Lin Yan, I told her everything that happened in Cang Ling Town back then, including the cause and effect of the whole thing, and what her father did. The rest... I left it to her to judge for herself."

"That's strange..." Feng Bujue then walked to the front of the crowd, standing next to his teammates and Yuan Qi, "Since you know everything..." He looked at Lin Yan and asked, "Why didn't you take the opportunity to seek revenge on Eunuch Cao?"

"My adoptive father was just fulfilling his duty, and... he didn't directly attack my father." Lin Yan replied, "The ones who did... were your Broken Sword Teahouse." As she spoke, she turned her gaze to Yuan Qi and the masters of various gangs and factions, "And the ones who drove my father and my whole family to a dead end... were this bunch of so-called 'righteous martial artists, heroic chivalrous men'."

When she said these last eight words, Lin Yan's tone was obviously tinged with sarcasm and resentment. Her "hatred" for Feng Bujue was extremely pure, but her hatred for these people... also carried a strong sense of contempt.

"Ha! Hahahaha..." Upon hearing this, Feng Bujue was slightly silent for half a second, and then... laughed loudly.

Friends familiar with Brother Jue knew that this kind of laughter was probably a signal that logical rape was about to arrive...

"It's simply a joke!" Feng Bujue put his hands on his hips and said loudly to Lin Yan, "According to your logic, I didn't directly attack your father either~" He spread his hands, "Your father was killed by one of my teahouse guests with a super long-range hidden weapon, what's it to me?"

"You yourself said that your teahouse guest killed him, how can it not be your business?" Lin Yan questioned.

"Nonsense! She is she, I am I, whoever killed him, go find them~" Feng Bujue crossed his arms in front of his chest, responding very proudly, "This is obvious... it's like, the imperial court has hundreds of thousands of soldiers, and one of them commits a crime, then of course you go and catch him. You wouldn't punish the general just because a soldier committed a crime, would you?"

"You..." Lin Yan wanted to retort, but she couldn't find any loopholes in this argument for a moment, so she could only shout, "...This is not the same thing at all!"

"Then tell me, how is it different?" Feng Bujue asked.

"This..." Lin Yan's face was flushed, the more anxious she was, the less she could say, so she could only continue, "Then tell me... what about the person who killed my father back then?"

"Dead." Feng Bujue replied without thinking, as if he had been waiting for her to ask, "It's been forty years, they've been dead for a long time."

"Impossible!" Lin Yan replied, "Do you think I don't know that your Broken Sword Teahouse's martial arts have the effect of eternal youth?"

"Yes, we do." Feng Bujue nodded, "But I didn't say she died of old age, did I? Can't people have accidents?"

"Nonsense! Who would believe you!" Lin Yan said angrily.

"Believe it or not." Feng Bujue said, then looked at Cao Qin, "Eunuch Cao, you can testify, among the teahouse guests I brought this time, is there that Little Ling girl from back then?"

"Hmm..." Cao Qin's attitude was as always calm and objective, "Indeed, there isn't."

"See, there isn't." Feng Bujue tilted his head and replied.

"Just because she's not here doesn't mean she's dead!" Lin Yan said again.

"Okay~" Feng Bujue shrugged, "If you insist that she's still alive, then I have nothing to argue with you... this vast land, the ends of the earth... you can go find her yourself, by the way... do you want me to get you a portrait?"

"Outrageous!" Lin Yan was furious, "You shameless villain, pushing the responsibility onto a dead person when something happens... what kind of hero are you?"

"We're talking about facts now, not about my character." Feng Bujue said, "Besides, I never said I was a hero~" He said to Lin Yan with a smile, "No one ever said I was a hero~ Didn't you yourself say I was a shameless villain?" That's how he was, someone says one thing, and he can immediately say three things, and he can say them reasonably, "But even if I'm a shameless villain, you have to understand one thing... I didn't kill your father."

"Despicable!" Lin Yan let out another delicate shout, she really couldn't beat Brother Jue in words, "Regardless of whether you killed him or not, I want you dead today!"

When a person's obsession reaches a certain level... right and wrong, truth and falsehood... are no longer important to her.

Forty years of hatred, forty years of persistence, that desire for revenge, has accompanied Lin Yan for a lifetime. To deny all of this now is to deny her entire life.

Therefore, she could not be persuaded from the beginning...

Feng Bujue, of course, was also very clear about this, he said these words... actually just to disturb Lin Yan's mind, to make this Boss that he was destined to face easier to deal with.

"Alliance Leader Yuan!" As the battle was about to begin, Feng Bujue said loudly, "Be sure to help my teahouse guests! I'll deal with Yan Wang!"

After saying that, Brother Jue ran away with lightning speed...

His actions were always so unexpected, in this situation, he didn't run to the wide open space outside the manor, but ran towards the interior of the Burial Heart Manor.

Feng Bujue ran so decisively, so freely... without even looking back.

And Lin Yan... really went to chase him. She was like a moth flying towards a flame, even knowing that the other party was leading her to chase, she went without hesitation.

"Hmph... I won't let you succeed..." Two seconds later, Xu Huai Shang was the first to react, she immediately turned around, jumped up, and strode out, wanting to chase after the two of them.

However!

At that moment, a figure flashed out like lightning.

A cold, substantive killing intent instantly bloomed, blocking Xu Huai Shang's path.

"Sorry." Ruo Yu said with a somber face, looking at Xu Huai Shang a few meters away, "I can't let you pass."

Xu Huai Shang's footsteps stopped there...

In just an instant, she knew... the person in front of her would not let her get past.

"This is a matter between me and Feng Bujue." Xu Huai Shang looked at Ruo Yu and said in a deep voice.

"I am now, standing between you." Ruo Yu's answer was quite subtle.

"He owes me a victory." Xu Huai Shang said again.

"I know..." Ruo Yu said, already putting her hand on the hilt of her sword, "...So I'm here to pay it back for him."

Their exchange was very brief, even making others confused, but the two people involved seemed to have reached some kind of consensus...

In the next second, two earth-shattering auras burst out, forming a confrontation.

Sword intent, cold, stern, deep.

Blade intent, sharp, fierce, intense.

When people came back to their senses, the area of more than ten meters around the two of them had been covered in an aura, as if not even a fly or a fallen leaf could enter this area.

Chi——

A few breaths later, a suddenly fallen withered leaf drifted into this blade and sword killing array, and the sound of it being torn apart by the invisible aura opened the prelude to this blade and sword battle...

…………

On the other hand, deep inside Burial Heart Manor.

Feng Bujue was running quite fast, perhaps many people have forgotten (I didn't forget, really), one of the effects of [Ta Xu] is "maximum running speed increased by two times".

Therefore, it only took him less than three minutes to run a few kilometers, twisting and turning, to the depths of the manor.

Burial Heart Manor covers a considerable area, not counting Yan Wang herself... each of her maids also has their own house, and there are also many functional buildings or areas, such as the kitchen, study, alchemy room, weaving workshop, and even a hot spring... all of these are built within the manor.

In addition, there are many courtyards and gardens with different scenery in this manor (but no farmland or pastures, because the farming and animal husbandry work in Burial Heart Valley is done by those who live in the village, they will regularly send crops and slaughtered fresh animal meat into the manor), and the design of each courtyard is worthy of a master's work, with ingenuity.

At the moment, Feng Bujue had arrived at a cherry blossom garden.

"Hmm... I've run so far, it should be about right." Finally, under the pink and white cherry blossoms, Feng Bujue stopped running.

Lin Yan also chased close in a few seconds, and jumped in front of Brother Jue, standing in opposition.

"How is it? You lured me here... what's the purpose?" Lin Yan had also heard of Feng Bujue's cunning, so she asked directly.

"Heh..." Feng Bujue smiled, "Don't worry, I don't have any conspiracy. The reason I lured you here is because... although your martial arts are high, you obviously don't know how to measure things like Eunuch Cao, if I directly fight you there, it will inevitably affect the people around me."

"Liao Head Feng... is really well-intentioned." Lin Yan had calmed down a lot of her previous anger after chasing all the way, at this moment she coldly mocked, "But is it a little late to pretend to be benevolent and righteous now?"

"Ha! There are only you and me here, what do I have to pretend for." Feng Bujue spread his hands and said, "Pretend for you alone? What do I gain?"

"Maybe I'll spare your life because of your 'benevolence'?" Lin Yan replied.

"Heh... do you believe that yourself?" Feng Bujue asked with a smile.

"Heh..." Lin Yan also smiled, a cold smile, "Okay... I don't believe it."

"Since I couldn't convince you with 'facts', it's even more of a joke to move you with 'benevolence'." Feng Bujue suddenly showed a solemn expression, and continued, "I can imagine... after your father died, your family encountered quite tragic changes. I also know very well... despair and sadness will bring out the darkness in people's hearts, and the irony is... that darkness that dwells within the heart can often make people stronger."

Brother Jue's speech of such pseudo-intellectual chuuni lines was extremely infectious, he could even make those who did not fit his description feel a sense of "Eh? I seem to be like this".

"I don't know how you identified 'killing Feng Bujue and avenging my father' as your life goal." After a pause of two seconds, Feng Bujue continued, "But I think... after you identified this point, you lived a lot easier. This idea became your way of venting, your motivation to live, and the source of your strength." He looked at Lin Yan calmly, making eye contact with her, "Today, you are strong enough, your mind is mature enough, and you also have peerless martial arts... with you like this, you naturally have other aspirations." He raised an arm and made a "please" gesture, "It's time to erase the word 'revenge' from your heart... Kill me, and you can start the next stage of your life."

At this point, Lin Yan's expression had changed several times.

After a moment of silence, she spoke again: "If you said these things to make me waver... you succeeded."

"Heh..." Feng Bujue smiled without saying a word.

"But..." Lin Yan said, her eyes sharpening, "Even if you're right, I have no other choice!"

After saying that, her figure moved, rushing straight towards Feng Bujue at a speed that broke the sound barrier!

Lin Yan received Cao Qin's true teachings from an early age, possessed countless divine skills, and in addition, her talent was also rare in a hundred years, her martial arts cultivation was so high that only Cao Qin could surpass her.

This time, she attacked with all her strength, in terms of speed... she was even three points faster than Brother Jue!
