Beside them, watching the two fight, Ye Cangtian glanced at Xue Qi and said calmly, "Aren't you going to help?"
Bing Yao had indeed received the Enlightenment Pill before, but she hadn't entered seclusion to take it yet.
Therefore, her current cultivation level was still at the peak of the Earth tier.
Although Zong Luan's injuries had not healed, he was still a quasi-Heavenly tier expert, so he could still suppress Bing Yao by a notch.
Thus, Ye Cangtian asked Xue Qi if she wanted to make a move.
After all, he quite liked this young girl, Bing Yao, and didn't want her to lose.
"No."
"It's good for her to suffer some lessons, so she won't be so impulsive in the future."
Xue Qi was silent for a moment, then finally shook her head.
She also wanted to teach Zong Luan a lesson, but before that, she wanted to give Bing Yao some hardship.
She couldn't always be by Bing Yao's side, so she had to temper Bing Yao's temper first, lest she lose her life due to impulsiveness in the future.
Hearing this, Ye Cangtian nodded slowly and said, "Your senior sister is truly thoughtful!"
Xue Qi smiled and said, "We live in the snowy mountains, and there are so few people around. Bing Yao has accompanied me for many years. I treat her as my own sister, so naturally, I have to think more about her."
Hehe.
Ye Cangtian chuckled, then said playfully, "Then if Bing Yao chooses a husband in the future, will she also need your approval?"
"Naturally."
Xue Qi replied subconsciously, a smug smile unconsciously appearing on her face. As the saying goes, the eldest sister is like a mother, so it was reasonable for her to inquire about Bing Yao's marriage.
However, as soon as the words left her mouth, she realized something was wrong, so she looked at Ye Cangtian and said, "Brother Yin Long, what do you mean by asking this? You're not interested in Bing Yao, are you?"
"Cough, cough... No, no, how could that be? I already have a wife!"
Ye Cangtian coughed violently and waved his hands in a hurry, then shrugged helplessly, "I'm talking about someone by my side who is still single. As a brother, I naturally have to think more for him..."
Single dog?
Just hearing these three words made Ye Zheng Hao almost spit out blood.
Although it was a fact, Ye Cangtian saying it so bluntly made him feel a bit awkward.
"This..."
Xue Qi, looking at Ye Cangtian's smiling face, felt a heavy weight in her heart, a profound sense of loss.
But she concealed it well, maintaining a gentle smile on the surface.
"This doesn't seem appropriate. My junior sister is a universally beloved young girl, while Brother Zheng Hao clearly looks like a greasy old man..."
"..."
This statement dealt another ten thousand points of critical damage to Ye Zheng Hao.
Didn't he just look older? Did he have to be described as an old man?
Besides, even if he was an old man, why add the word "greasy"?
Ye Zheng Hao felt extremely unconvinced and wanted to argue with Xue Qi, but before he could speak, Ye Cangtian beat him to it.
"He does look a bit old, but his actual age is similar to ours. Moreover, practitioners have infinite lifespans, so age is no longer a problem."
"Most importantly, Zheng Hao is honest and upright. He is a rare good man..."
Hearing Ye Cangtian's words, Ye Zheng Hao was completely speechless.
Ye Cangtian was already speaking favorably of him. If he added fuel to the fire, it would only make him seem hypocritical.
In helplessness, he could only wait for Xue Qi's answer.
"I can see these things you're talking about."
Xue Qi glanced at Ye Cangtian and continued, "However, I only provide a screening for such matters. The final decision rests with Bing Yao. If she agrees, I won't object."
Ye Zheng Hao, hearing Xue Qi's words, had a strange look on his face.
To be honest, listening to Xue Qi and Ye Cangtian chat back and forth, he really couldn't tell if they were joking or serious.
However, at this moment, a furious voice was heard.
"You three onlookers, stop gossiping about this grandma. This grandma can't hold on much longer!"
The voice naturally belonged to Bing Yao. Although their conversation wasn't loud, at such close proximity, Bing Yao could hear it clearly even during the fight.
Instantly, she was furious!
She was fighting desperately here, and not only were these people not helping, but they were also trying to set her up. Wasn't this clearly disturbing her state of mind?
Because of this, she had almost fallen into danger several times and was almost defeated, which was why she had to protest.
"Be careful!"
As soon as Bing Yao's voice fell, Ye Cangtian's voice suddenly sounded.
Taking advantage of Bing Yao's distraction, Zong Luan didn't hold back and kicked her fiercely.
Ah!
The next moment, a scream was heard, and Bing Yao was instantly kicked flying, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
"Hmph! You want to be distracted while fighting me? You're asking for death!"
"However, considering we are fellow disciples, I will let you off this time. Next time you see me, I hope you honestly take a detour around me!"
"Otherwise, I will deal with you every time I see you!"
On the other side, looking at the fallen Bing Yao, Zong Luan snorted coldly.
They were fellow disciples, and with Yin Long and Xue Qi present, he naturally dared not inflict serious injuries, so he could only warn her with words.
"You! You! You..."
Hearing Zong Luan's words, Bing Yao almost cried. If Ye Cangtian and the others hadn't disrupted her state of mind, how could she have been defeated so miserably!
Now, it had only benefited Zong Luan, allowing him to show off in front of her, and she felt infinitely wronged.
Clang!
Looking at Bing Yao's appearance, Xue Qi's expression suddenly turned cold. She directly drew her long sword and was about to fight Zong Luan desperately.
But at this moment, Ye Cangtian stopped her, then kicked Ye Zheng Hao hard in the butt.
Hiss!
Ye Zheng Hao gasped, but under the immense force, his body was propelled directly in front of Zong Luan.
It was obvious that Ye Cangtian was giving him a chance to perform.
"Yo ho, I said you went to find wild men, and you still denied it!"
"Look, you don't even need your senior sister to make a move now, you have a wild man acting on your behalf..."
Seeing Ye Zheng Hao being kicked over, Zong Luan spat out more trash talk.
He knew in his heart that the other party was likely not to be trifled with, and if he made a move, he would probably be defeated.
Since he was going to be taught a lesson by the other party, he wanted to vent his anger first, lest he have no opportunity later and could only suppress his anger in his heart...
"Stop talking nonsense. Honestly, kneel down and apologize, and hand over a Nine Heavens Life Renewal Pill. Today's matter, I can let it pass!"
On the other side, Ye Zheng Hao rubbed his butt, then looked at Zong Luan and said domineeringly, imitating Ye Cangtian's tone.
"..."
As soon as his voice fell, Xue Qi and Bing Yao were stunned, then they looked at Ye Cangtian in unison.
Feeling the gaze of the two women, Ye Cangtian immediately turned his head away, as if to say, I don't know him!
While the three of them were like this, Zong Luan's face immediately turned red. He had already knelt and apologized to Ye Cangtian yesterday, and today the other party was still asking him to do so.
This was like repeatedly reopening his wounds, completely disregarding him as a person.
Most importantly, the other party was asking for a Nine Heavens Life Renewal Pill right off the bat!
He had indeed injured Bing Yao, but he had held back.
With that minor injury, Bing Yao could have recovered with just a few Nine Revolutions Golden Pills, so the other party demanding a Nine Heavens Life Renewal Pill was simply asking for the moon!
Thinking this, he finally couldn't suppress his anger and roared, "Bastard, who do you think you are, daring to yell at me? You deserve a beating!"
Roaring, Zong Luan's long sword suddenly stabbed towards Ye Zheng Hao.
Humph!
Ye Zheng Hao snorted, dodged Zong Luan's straight thrust with a sidestep, and then punched Zong Luan heavily in the stomach.
This punch was not light, and coupled with Zong Luan's existing injuries, he spat out a mouthful of blood from this punch and was sent flying backward, crashing heavily onto the ground.
"This..."
Looking at Ye Zheng Hao's move, Xue Qi looked at Ye Cangtian again. This scene essentially recreated the scene of Ye Cangtian disciplining him in the inn yesterday.
However, the force of this punch was even more explosive than Ye Cangtian's, causing Zong Luan to be unable to get up from the ground several times.
The next moment, she said, "Brother Yin Long, are you of the same sect?"
"Cough, cough."
Ye Cangtian coughed twice, then said, "Please don't misunderstand, we are really not from the same sect."
On the other side, Ye Zheng Hao didn't let up. He walked forward and said, "Do you choose to apologize and hand over the pill, or do you choose to take another punch from me?"
"I..."
Zong Luan's face was extremely pale, but his eyes flashed with burning anger. In his eyes, this was no different from robbery!
However, at this moment, he only had half of his life left, and he really couldn't withstand another punch from the other party.
