Chapter 197: Chapter 195: Died by Swallowing the Sword

Liu Yu seemed to have been overwhelmed by fury and roared.

"Ancestor, can’t you see Yan Rufeng has already given up resistance? As long as you kill Yan Rufeng, who here can stop you!"

"Scoundrel!"

The Liu family ancestor said in exasperation, "Killing Yan Rufeng, even if you, or even our Sect Master, were here, you still wouldn’t be able to break his Protective Spiritual Power Shield..."

Liu Yu despaired, the excruciating pain from his sword wounds caused him to collapse.

The Liu family ancestor approached Yan Rufeng, bowed, and said, "Young Master Yan, please forgive my lack of strict discipline."

"Hmph!"

Yan Rufeng sneered, "I originally did not intend to harm your Liu family members, but Liu Yu came to offend the Yi Family again. You think a mere ’lack of discipline’ can make me let you off?"

The Liu family ancestor started to panic, "Young Master Yan, all of this is because of that unfilial descendant Liu Yu, it has nothing to do with this old man."

"Though exempt from the death penalty, punishment cannot be avoided. You shall cripple your own cultivation..."

Yan Rufeng asked the Liu family ancestor to cripple his own cultivation, and the Liu family ancestor despaired. He burst into laughter towards the heavens.

"Ha ha..."

"I, Liu Chun, have painstakingly cultivated for hundreds of years, and only just reached the middle-stage Foundation Establishment. Unexpectedly, today, my efforts are to be destroyed due to worldly affairs. Liu Yu, I will tear your body to pieces..."

In his rage, the Liu family ancestor slashed Liu Yu to death on the spot. Afterward, he didn’t cripple his cultivation but swallowed his sword and died.

The Yi family members, upon seeing this scene, couldn’t believe their eyes.

Yi Zhantian thought, "Why would Young Master Yan ask the Liu family ancestor to cripple his cultivation, and yet he offered no resistance and even chose to die by swallowing his sword? What kind of person is Young Master Yan really..."

Yi Mu, watching everything, smiled faintly and thought, "It seems he’s not that bad. But why does he keep helping my Yi Family? Could it be he’s doing all this just to thank me for taking care of him for a month..."

Yi Mu gracefully approached Yan Rufeng, offered a curtsy, and said with a charming smile, "Young Master Yan, last time I drove you out of my Yi Family, it was my offense. Please don’t take it to heart!"

"Mumu, what are you saying. If it weren’t for you taking care of me, I wouldn’t have recovered so quickly. I’m grateful to you, so how could I let a trivial matter come between us."

"Hehe!"

"I’m glad Young Master Yan doesn’t hold a grudge!" Yi Mu said with a smile.

"Sigh..."

Yan Rufeng heaved a long sigh and smiled bitterly in his heart, "It has been a long time since anyone called me Young Master Yan. Although Mumu no longer holds any ill will toward me, she still calls me Young Master Yan, which suddenly makes us feel so distant."

At this moment, Yan Rufeng’s emotions were extremely complex. He glanced at Yi Mu and thought, "Mumu, do you know how much I wish you would call me husband..."

However, the truth was that Yi Mu would never call him husband, and Yan Rufeng also knew that in this life, he and Yi Mu were starting anew.

Then, Yan Rufeng’s lips curled into a faint smile, "Mumu, tomorrow is the day for the Dragon Abyss Sect’s disciple selection. Do you want to go to the Dragon Abyss Sect to rescue your great-grandfather?"

"Yes!"

Yi Mu nodded, "Young Master Yan, I also want to save my great-grandfather, but with the severity of his situation in the Dragon Abyss Sect, will they choose me?"

"Mumu, don’t worry. Tomorrow they will definitely choose you!" Yan Rufeng patted his chest and assured.

"Really!"

"Yes!" Yan Rufeng nodded firmly.

Yi Mu smiled happily, "That’s wonderful. As long as I can enter the Dragon Abyss Sect smoothly, I believe it won’t take long to rescue my great-grandfather from his predicament..."

Yi Zhantian, hearing the conversation between Yan Rufeng and Yi Mu, started to wonder, "How can he guarantee that the people from the Dragon Abyss Sect won’t take out their anger on the Yi Family and will select disciples from my Yi Family? Where does his confidence come from? He is becoming increasingly unfathomable..."

Yan Rufeng showed no sign of leaving, and Yi Zhantian, unlike last time, didn’t drive Yan Rufeng away. As the Yi Family Patriarch, Yi Zhantian couldn’t lose his manners, and furthermore, Yan Rufeng had helped the Yi Family multiple times. Yi Zhantian decided to get to know Yan Rufeng better.

Yi Zhantian approached Yan Rufeng, clasped his hands, and said, "Young Master Yan, thank you for rescuing the Yi Family from peril multiple times!"

Yan Rufeng smiled faintly and replied, "Uncle Yi, these were just minor efforts and not enough to repay Mumu’s kindness. You don’t need to be so formal!"

Yi Zhantian laughed, "Young Master Yan is straightforward. If you don’t mind, would you accompany me for a cup of tea?"

Yan Rufeng smiled and replied, "Uncle Yi is inviting, how could I refuse."

Yan Rufeng followed Yi Zhantian to the Yi Family’s reception hall. As soon as they sat down, Yi Mu had already poured tea for him.

Yi Zhantian picked up his teacup, blew on it, then set it down and said, "Young Master Yan, judging by your attire, you don’t seem to be from the Five Great Cities, right?"

"Uncle Yi, you’re correct. I am not from the Five Great Cities."

Yi Zhantian took a sip of tea and said, "Young Master Yan, forgive me for being presumptuous, but where is your hometown?"

Of course, Yan Rufeng would never tell Yi Zhantian he was from Earth.

"Uncle Yi, my hometown is a place called Huaxia."

"Huaxia, I’ve never heard of it!" Yi Zhantian muttered to himself.

Yan Rufeng smiled and said, "Uncle Yi, Huaxia is very far from here. Even a highly cultivated cultivator would need several years to reach here. As for ordinary mortals, they might never reach the Five Great Cities in their lifetime."

Upon hearing this, Yi Zhantian felt a mix of emotions and immediately gave a thumbs-up in admiration, "Young Master Yan, to have such cultivation at a young age is truly enviable."

"Uncle Yi flatters me."

Yi Zhantian paused for a moment and then asked, "Young Master Yan, in your homeland Huaxia, at what age do men typically marry?"

Yan Rufeng did not expect Yi Zhantian to ask this question.

"Uncle Yi, in Huaxia, men and women can only marry when they reach the legal age."

"What is the legal age?" Yi Zhantian asked, puzzled.

Yan Rufeng smiled serenely, "Uncle Yi, in our land, men can marry at 22, and women at 20."

"Hehe!"

Yi Zhantian laughed, "Huaxia is indeed different from our place. I wonder if Young Master Yan has reached the legal marriage age?"

When Yan Rufeng’s Immortal Venerable Divine Soul possessed his body, he was already twenty years old. Now, over ten years later, he had used a Youthful Pill, so he still looked only twenty-something, which is why Yi Zhantian asked.

Yan Rufeng smiled and replied, "Uncle Yi, I have reached the legal marriage age, but I have not yet found a suitable partner."

Yi Zhantian laughed, "If you don’t mind, Uncle Yi could introduce a companion for you."

As he spoke, Yi Zhantian glanced at Yi Mu.
