Chapter Fifteen Night Talks

  Slowly, the golden crow rises from the east, emitting golden rays of light, bringing warmth to the world.

  However, Ye Lin was still indulged in the dance of fist techniques and didn't notice that as the sun rose from the east, a purple glow seemed to be attracted by something, accompanied by the dance of fist techniques, transformed into a flying rainbow, descended beside Ye Lin, slowly, the glow dissipated, turned into a purple misty sea, covering Ye Lin who was practicing, including the surrounding area within three feet in all directions.

  "This is......"

  Shangguan Wan'er, who had thought she already knew Lin Ge's ultimate secret, couldn't sit still any longer at this moment.

  "The purple energy is coming from the east, this is the legendary purple energy coming from the east!"

  This is indeed an extraordinary phenomenon unique to the emergence of a legendary sage!

  In legend, the ancient great emperors of humanity were said to have been born with a gift from heaven. When they cultivated their bodies in their youth, a purple cloud would always descend from the sky to aid them in tempering their flesh.

  "This is something that only appears in ancient legends! But now, when my brother Lin cultivates, it actually appears. Does this mean that my brother Lin has the potential to become a great emperor?"

  The Purple Bloodline Innate Talent was called the Emperor's Child, and it wasn't without reason. The biggest reason was that when they cultivated, they could summon heavenly phenomena, with red clouds descending from the sky to help them refine their physical bodies.

  The Ye family's Ye Fan was so famous and feared, not only because he possessed the purple bloodline talent, but more importantly, when he cultivated, he had once attracted the heavenly descent of red energy, bathing his entire body in a crimson cloud, like a divine being. Therefore, Ye Fan was called the Emperor's Son.

  However, even so, the red cloud that Ye Fan had initially stirred up only barely covered his entire body, let alone now when Ye Lin had actually covered an area of three feet around him, not to mention that what Ye Lin had stirred up was a rare phenomenon from ancient legends.

  But regardless of the outside world, Ye Lin was still immersed in the subtleties of boxing, ignoring the passage of time as day turned into night and slowly, the golden crow rose again from the west and fell, the jade rabbit climbed up from the east, and the night was about to descend once more.

  BOOM!!

  Suddenly, the earth let out a loud roar, as if the pulse of the earth was stirred up. The purple cloud surged and quickly rushed inward, gradually revealing the figure inside.

  "Haha, I've broken through! I, Ye Lin, have finally broken through!"

  Ye Lin absorbed all the purple cloud energy, suddenly raised his hands high, burst out laughing wildly, and his face was filled with a crazy look.

  After a long time, Ye Lin finally turned around and looked at Shangguan Wan'er, who was five zhang away from him, protecting him at all times. His eyebrows slightly furrowed as he said, "Thank you!"

  No matter what, it was she who disregarded her own life safety and stood out to protect him when his life was in danger. Just this alone is enough for Ye Lin to thank her sincerely. Moreover, previously when he was cultivating during the day, if she hadn't been by his side protecting him, if some ferocious beast were to suddenly appear, he's afraid that his own breakthrough would be distant and uncertain.

  Shangguan Wanyi's face turned pale, her eyes reddened, and tears fell as she stared quietly at Ye Lin, saying: "No need."

  Ye Lin looked at Shangguan Wan'er's appearance, and suddenly, he felt his heart ache!

  However, suddenly he thought of the scene where he was forced to cancel his engagement in public on that day, and his face turned dark again.

  Looking at Ye Lin's face, which underwent a drastic change in expression, Yuwen Rou'er's emotions were like the floating clouds in the sky, constantly changing. In the end, she couldn't help but ask: "Will you forgive me?"

  "Forgive?"

  Ye Lin's face turned iron-green, fortunately he was a Tai Chi master in his previous life. Tai Chi emphasizes harmony between heaven and man, following nature, and having a calm mind.

  Suppressing the anger in my heart, I tried not to let it explode and asked: "When my brother was beaten that day, when I was forced to cancel our engagement, when my dignity was trampled underfoot, and finally swept into the toilet, didn't you ever think about how I felt at that time? Now you come to ask me if I can forgive you. Tell me, how do you want me to forgive you?"

  Even if it were the state of mind of Ye Lin, the former Taiji master, in the end, Ye Lin's face still turned into a fierce and sinister one. If not for his good state of mind, if not for her disregarding her own life yesterday to block the giant python for him, if not for her protecting him today, if not... Ye Lin might have really taken action to kill her and swallowed her whole.

  "No, it's not like that."

  Shangguan Wanyi wept and shook her head. She knew that this might hurt him, but she had never thought it would hurt so deeply.

  After all, she was just a young girl, with strong innate talent and experience in the Jianghu world, but she knew very little about human emotions and changes. She thought that as long as she truly liked him and loved him, even if they broke off their engagement, it didn't matter.

  However, she didn't know that when a man is pursued by a woman and forced to break off an engagement, his dignity will inevitably be trampled underfoot.

  In his past life, Ye Lin was an orphan with no father or mother. To survive, he learned many things and fought against the heavens, the earth, and people. Gradually, he understood a principle: A man's dignity is worth more than gold. For a man to exist in this world, his personal dignity is above all else. If you lose money, you can earn it back; if you lose your girlfriend, you can find another one. But if you lose your dignity, that means the life of this man will be plunged into darkness. From then on, no one will look up to you or take you seriously. When people are happy, they will come to mock you; when they're angry, they will come to humiliate you. When they fail, they'll look down on you; when they succeed, they'll be annoyed by your presence...

  So, in Ye Lin's heart, he always remembered a sentence: A man can lose everything, can have no woman, can have no power, can have no money, but a man cannot lose his dignity as a human being, cannot be without dignity.

  At least in Yelin's heart, he thought that a man's dignity was more important than anything else. A man's dignity also represented everything about him. Whoever dared to trample his dignity underfoot, he would dare to cut off the person's foot with a knife, even if it were the Emperor himself.

  However, the one he loved most in his heart, Shangguan Wanyu, was trampled on by him, and it was ruthless. After being trampled on, she would be swept out of the door and thrown into a latrine, saying that he was a waste and not worthy of her nobility.

  But at this time, Shang Guan Wenyu came to ask him if he could forgive her. Haha, let's ask: Can a broken mirror be restored?

  No, once a mirror is broken, it can never be made whole again. Similarly, once dignity has been trampled on, it can never be forgiven. The only way to wash away the shame of having one's dignity trampled on is with the other person's blood.

  He still remembered what he said that day: "Shangguan Hongfei, you remember, it was you who brought Shangguan Wanyu to my Ye family back then, not me, Ye Lin, going to your Shangguan family to propose marriage. Yet today, you come here and want to dissolve the engagement in front of everyone, you are too deceitful!"

  "Shangguan Hongfei, I'm reminding you that the heavens are constantly in motion. Thirty years on the east bank of the river, thirty years on the west bank of the river - no one can predict how Ye Lin's future will turn out!"

  "But today's events will surely be rewarded handsomely by Ye Lin in the future!"

  He won't forget this humiliation, he'll make those who trampled him know that daring to trample his dignity will come at a price.

  "What's wrong? What isn't?"

  If it were in the past, Ye Lin would never have listened to Shangguan Wan'er's words again. However, every time he tried to be tough, he couldn't help but think of that white-clad figure who had fought to the death with the giant python to protect him. Unconsciously, his expression softened and he asked in a low voice, though his face still didn't look good.

  "Things are not as you think, I only know that there is a very powerful person who wants to take revenge on Uncle Ye Yunfei, but because of his identity reasons, it's not suitable for him to confront the Ye family directly. So he found other three big families and even pulled in a high-ranking member of the Ye family with the code name 'Hidden Son' into the alliance, forming a Tianlong Society. The ultimate goal is to take revenge on Uncle Ye Yunfei and lure him out. And my father coming to your doorstep to force you to cancel the engagement was just the first step in their plan."

  "What did you say?"

  Upon hearing this, Ye Lin was shocked in his heart. Since the incident occurred, he had always felt a sense of being shrouded in conspiracy, but he never thought that the conspiracy would be so big, and forcing him to break off the engagement was only the first step.

  What's more unexpected is that these forces combined to form a Tianlong Society specifically targeting the Ye family.

  The Tianlong Society, consisting of the other three major families from Yunshui City, plus an external force, and even members of the Ye family itself, is truly unimaginable. This combination of five forces has formed such a massive power, yet it's only to deal with their own Ye family.

  But isn't your father already missing? Why would these people go to such great lengths to bring out your father?

  Ye Lin knew that with the Tianlong Society's enormous power, if they were to launch a strong attack on his Ye family, it would be difficult for the Ye family to resist even with their own strength. The reason these people didn't take action now was just because they wanted to lure his father out.

  "Are you saying that someone from our Ye family also joined the Tiānlóng Society?"

  The Tianlong Society is dedicated to dealing with the Ye family. If someone from the Ye family really participated, it would be a betrayal of the clan.

  On the vast land, the pre-heavenly tribes stood tall, and the human tribe was weaker than the pre-heavenly tribes. To stand firm between heaven and earth and not be enslaved by the pre-heavenly tribes, the human tribe must unite internally and resolutely oppose traitorous events.

  Therefore, on this vast land, any major power would punish traitors with the utmost severity, relentlessly pursuing them for thousands of miles until death, and even extending to their entire branch, regardless of their innate abilities, all would be exterminated in the end. However, Ye Lin had never thought that a traitor would appear within his own Ye family.

  Ye Lin sank into thought for a moment, and felt that this matter was too big to be concluded based on Shang Guan Wan Er's one-sided words. Therefore, Ye Lin turned his head around, looked at Shang Guan Wan Er, and said: "Regardless of whether what you say is right or wrong, I must thank you."

  As he spoke, Ye Lin turned and left. In the end, in Ye Lin's heart, he still couldn't forget the fact that his dignity had been trampled on and refused to forgive Shang Guan Wan'er.

  Today's update is late, and it's not my fault. A boring old man cut down a tree and broke the power line on the side of the road, so we couldn't send out electricity! Now that the contract has been sent out, everyone can fully support us.

  Someone said that my character isn't very good, but I'm also helpless. For the previous book, I signed three contracts that didn't go through, and when I looked for Hai Bian, she didn't even give me a response. My heart was really uneasy! And this account originally belonged to someone else, who said that if I signed a contract, they would introduce me to a girlfriend. Hehe, so everyone knows now, for my own happiness, I used the strongest martial arts system as a model and restarted this account.

  This time Hai Bian is really great, she passed it! Although I don't know if the original owner of "For Knife Crazy" will really introduce me to a girlfriend, but the joy in my heart can't be erased. Because I passed, although it's not considered successful, success still requires continued effort. But passing the first mock exam before the college entrance exams is just like this.

  So for the second and third times, and finally the real big exam, I should even more believe that I will succeed. Although I don't know if it's Tsinghua or Beida, at least having confidence in getting in is possible. You guys say so, right?!

  Hehe, comparing writing to college entrance exams here is also to bring friends closer together, and even more to give a little reminder to the many third-year high school students: next semester is the college entrance exams! Don't worry about what the final result will be, but as long as you guys have put in effort, you are not far from success.
