Chapter 707 (Vol 3) – 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.

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.

Daihang Guan felt his heart shake fiercely, with Yi Jingwen’s words rumbling in his mind and heart. Yes… what was there to doubt?

“Wenwen…” Daihang Guan covered Yi Jingwen’s hand on his cheek, looking into her eyes he showed a bright and cheerful smile, his heart finally opened and said, “You are a wonderful woman that I would be willing to fight even if it is against the whole world, to me you are worth more than the whole world and to fight for the whole life. I have never been bothered by your past nor will I be in the future, let alone dislike your face, to me you are already the most beautiful woman that can exist.”

Daihang Guan’s other hand reached out and gently caressed Yi Jingwen’s cheek. His fingers even lightly brushed the scar that spanned much of her face, but conveyed a warmth and assurance in her, causing Yi Jingwen to no longer be able to hold back her tears as she looked at him with love and gratitude. A warm and welcoming aura enveloped Yi Jingwen and her heart, feeling that the man in front of her was forever protecting her heart in silence.

“I’m sorry it’s at this time that I’m telling you this, but I won’t hold it back anymore… Wenwen, I want a life with you and to live happily forever! If the world were to end I would search for you even up to reincarnation! I want to be with you for all eternity!” 

Daihang Guan smiled lovingly, with Yi Jingwen unable to help herself anymore and pounce on him and bury her face on his broad chest, trembling and crying with joy and happiness as she felt his strong arms wrap around her body, receiving love, security and joy.

“Wenwen…” Daihang Guan whispered painfully as he finally realized that Yi Jingwen’s love for him was no less than his love for her. This woman truly loved him with all her heart to the point of being willing to give up everything for his well-being!

Daihang Guan added a little more strength to his embrace, comforting Yi Jingwen, wanting to convey confidence, security and reassurance.

The scene became a little strange, especially seeing Daihang Guan and Yi Jingwen in their own world while everything else didn’t matter. Silence ruled the place until a small, faint laugh was heard, breaking the strange atmosphere.

“Heh~”

Suddenly, a faint snort broke the sweet and loving atmosphere of the two people, startling Daihang Guan for a moment before he turned to face Ling Tian as he gently pulled Yi Jingwen behind him protectively.

But surprisingly, Yi Jingwen squeezed Daihang Guan’s hand and stood by his side, facing Ling Tian. She would not leave Daihang Guan alone!

This was not over!

“What, it seems that little, insecure and fearful Guan has already grown up to the point that he would not hesitate to fight against his Master for his beloved~”

However, to everyone’s surprise, Ling Tian lifted the corner of his mouth as if enjoying what was happening. But this caused Daihang Guan to raise his guard and still protect Yi Jingwen as he remembered what had happened a few moments ago.

But no one noticed that the killing intent was long gone.

Ling Tian slowly raised his hand, but it contained no trace of aura or cultivation essence, directing it towards Daihang Guan and Yi Jingwen. But Daihang Guan was frightened and Yi Jingwen closed her eyes full of fear as she squeezed Daihang Guan’s hand.

* Paft~ *

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?”
