The woman was taken away, her body broken and used for dual cultivation, and then he was defeated by his rival in love on the arena stage under everyone's attention, and was seriously injured, taking half a year to recover, thus missing the Seven Xuanwu Sect's core disciple assessment.
So many blows concentrated together, what will Lin Ming become?
Will his "qi" still be able to go smoothly? Will his martial arts heart still be able to remain perfect?
Zhang Guanyu asked himself, if he were in this situation, he would be driven mad!
"When the 'qi' is not smooth, cultivation is hindered. Since ancient times, there have been numerous geniuses who, after suffering a setback, never regained their momentum. These geniuses often share a common trait: they had previously enjoyed a smooth and unobstructed path, only to suffer a crushing defeat."
"You now look like you have unlimited prospects, but all of this is brought to you by your martial arts skills. Without martial arts skills, you are nothing! Just wait until I destroy the perfect body of the woman you once liked, shatter your martial arts skills, severely injure you, and ruin your future!"
Thinking of Lin Ming's fate, Zhang Guanyu really wanted to burst out laughing. He looked at the small shop where Lan Yunyue was in and a sly smile flashed across his mouth. He lifted his foot and walked into it.
"Two noble guests, what would you like to buy?" Lan Yunyue smiled and greeted as she saw two men in brocade clothes enter the shop. Although Lan Yunyue was with Zhang Guanyu at the Seventh Xuanwu Mansion, Zhang Guanyu rarely appeared in public, so Lan Yunyue did not recognize him.
However, as Lan Yunyue approached, her gaze gradually froze, the man in front of her, fanning himself with a silk fan, was by no means an ordinary person. Not to mention his brocade clothes and satin robes, just the jade pendant on his waist alone would not be worth less than 5,000 taels of gold. It was a top-quality sheep fat jade pendant with blood veins, a high-quality blood jade. She remembered that even Zhu Yan didn't have such a jade pendant back then, and any random piece of jade he wore was equivalent to someone else's two or three precious artifacts. This young man's background was too terrifying.
The young man's cultivation was unclear, but the middle-aged man following behind him was clearly a servant with a cultivation of Refining Marrow. Even his servants had reached the Refining Marrow stage. Who was this man?
Moreover, the key is that this young master from a wealthy family, how would he come to a small shop like mine to buy fabric? Although her fabrics are also exquisite, but how could they have entered the eyes of this young man. The fabrics used in the mansion of such a wealthy family are probably all silk and satin.
Besides, those who buy fabric are usually women, what would two big men be doing buying fabric?
Lan Yun thought of many things in an instant and secretly became vigilant in her heart.
Zhang Guanyu gazed at Lan Yunyue, smiled slightly, and thought to himself: "What a lovely and pure beauty! Even in coarse clothing, she can't hide her elegance. No wonder Lin Ming and Zhu Yan are both infatuated with this girl... This girl is indeed still a virgin, which makes it even more perfect. Later, I'll bring her back to the mansion, give her some aphrodisiacs, and thoroughly enjoy myself."
In the Tianyun Kingdom, according to custom, before marriage, men and women would not live together, of course, taking concubines or buying maids are exceptions, because taking concubines does not require a wedding ceremony.
"Are you Miss Lan?" Zhang Guanyu asked straightforwardly.
Lan Yun's heart skipped a beat. Indeed, they were targeting her. Since they had come to her doorstep, it was clear that they had already investigated her identity.
"She nodded and said: 'I am, what can I do for you two?'"
"Hehe, I had met Miss Lan before, to be honest, the first time I saw Miss Lan, I was attracted by her. Miss Lan is enchanting in both appearance and temperament!"
Lan Yun Yue unconsciously took a step back, increasing the distance between her and Zhang Guanyu, at this moment her vigilance grew even stronger.
Zhang Guanyu took a step back after seeing Lan Yunyue retreat, showing respect. He said: "Sorry, was I too abrupt and scared Miss Lan? I didn't mean anything else. To be honest, I've always admired Miss Lan, but at that time, Miss Lan was already engaged, so it was just a late meeting. Only recently did I learn that Miss Lan had broken off the engagement, so I took the liberty of visiting. I hope Miss Lan won't mind."
Lan Yunyue saw Zhang Guanyu's respectful attitude and felt slightly relieved. She calmly replied, "I'm not backing out of the engagement, I was divorced."
"Hehe, Miss Lan is being too serious. I know that Zhu Yan has already been kicked out of the house, how can he be worthy of Miss Lan? I don't know why Miss Lan wants to open a small fabric store in this remote place. If Miss Lan doesn't mind, would you like to come to my humble abode for a visit? I have some gifts for Miss Lan."
Lan Yunyue's mind was racing, the young man in front of her spoke eloquently and smiled warmly, appearing to be a truly humble gentleman, giving off no bad vibes. However, Lan Yunyue suddenly sensed something off about him.
Lan Yunyue was very clear about the sensitivity of her identity. She was Lin Ming's ex-girlfriend, and just because of this, even if some young master from a certain family had taken a liking to her, he wouldn't dare to make a move on his own initiative.
Although Lan Yunyue was clear that Lin Ming had nothing to do with her, those princes and nobles would not think so. They didn't dare to, in their opinion, this was a taboo for Lin Ming.
But this young man in front of him dared to do so openly and brazenly, he was either out of his mind or completely opposed to Lin Ming, even having a vendetta!
Thinking of this, Lan Yunyue had a faint sense of foreboding in her heart. They wouldn't be thinking of hijacking herself and threatening Lin Ming, would they...
Although she couldn't see clearly what level this young man was at, she could be certain that she wouldn't be his match. Moreover, with the old servant behind him, she didn't even have a chance to escape!
Zhang Guanyu saw the guard in Lan Yunyue's eyes and smiled: "I heard that Miss Lan has already withdrawn from the Seventh Xuanwu Sect, it's really a pity. With Miss Lan's qualifications, if she had the assistance of top-grade elixirs, she might not be unable to break through the Condensation Period. Once breaking through the Condensation Period, her youth would be prolonged for dozens of years. Doesn't Miss Lan have any desire for this?"
He coughed lightly and the middle-aged man behind him immediately handed over a box. After opening it, there were two bottles of Dan medicine inside. Zhang Guanyu casually took out one bottle and opened it, and a strong medicinal fragrance was immediately emitted, obviously a top-grade medicine.
Zhang Guanyu smiled and handed the elixir to Lan Yunyue, saying: "Top-grade Gathering Yuan Dan, a small gift that is hardly worth mentioning. Miss Lan, please don't despise it. These are just a few tokens of our meeting, in the future, I will give you everything you want, my identity won't shame you, how about it?" Zhang Guanyu had investigated Lan Yunyue's past and was clear about what she wanted. Now that she had been divorced, it was impossible for her to marry into a large family again. He didn't believe that he could appear in such circumstances, giving out so many elixirs to help her break through the Condensed Pulse stage, and Lan Yunyue wouldn't be moved.
However, he didn't expect that Lan Yunyue hadn't accepted the bottle at all. She directly refused, saying: "Thank you for your kind intentions, sir, but I've already given up on cultivating martial arts. I just want to live an ordinary life, thank you for your kindness, please leave now."
"Is that so......" Zhang Guanyu's smile on his face gradually converged, and the aura on his body slowly dissipated, while the middle-aged man behind him also took a step forward, quietly blocking the back door of the store.
Lan Yun's heart skipped a beat, her pretty face paled slightly, "You... what do you want to do?"
Zhang Guanyu sighed: "What a pity, Miss Lan seems to have no interest in going to my mansion. However, I think that once you arrive at the mansion, I will make you change your mind and make you feel extremely interested."
Zhang Guanyu emphasized the word "sex", and Lan Yunyue's body suddenly turned cold. This person... he actually dared to rape her? Is he crazy? He completely ignored Lin Ming's threat and wanted to abduct her to his mansion!
Isn't he afraid of Lin Ming's revenge?
Lan Yunyue was very clear that even if she had no relationship with Lin Ming anymore, if someone forced herself, Lin Ming would never let this person go.
Lan Yunyue's back had already broken out in a cold sweat, her eyes darted imperceptibly to the scissors on the stall used for cutting fabric...
"Hehe, such a young and beautiful girl, don't think about anything rash." Zhang Guanyu's smile grew even thicker.
Zhang Guanyu took a step forward, raised his true yuan, and was about to make a move when a loud and clear laugh suddenly came from the doorway. "Haha, isn't this Young Master Zhang? The world is indeed small, I can even run into you here!"
Zhang Guanyu furrowed his brow, turned his head to look, and saw a thick-browed man walking in with a smile all over his face. With every step he took, he would emit a strong aura that oppressed him.
Liao Wenyuan!
Zhang Guanyu recognized the man at a glance. He was the only master of the Condensation Period under the Crown Prince, and he had already reached the middle stage of the Condensation Period. Even if four or five of himself were added together, they would not be a match for this person!
The crown prince actually sent Liao Wenyuan to protect Lan Yunyue?
No, it should be that there was a thread of spiritual energy here, and after seeing himself appear, he immediately used the Transmission Talisman to inform Liao Wenyuan, with the speed of a master in the Condensing Pulse stage, it's no problem for him to rush over so quickly!
Damn it!
"Mr. Liao, nice to meet you!" Zhang Guanyu said with a fist bump.
"Nice to meet you, nice to meet you." Liao Wenyuan also returned the courtesy with a fist bump, and then asked nonchalantly: "Is Young Master Zhang also here to buy fabric?"
"Ah, yes, winter has arrived, and our household wants to add some winter clothes."
"Haha, I was thinking the same way. This winter arrived particularly early, but Master Zhang actually came to select fabrics in person, isn't that being too meticulous? Why don't I join Master Zhang to pick some out together, what do you think?"
"Haha……" Zhang Guanyu smiled suddenly, his smile hinting at a few subtle murderous intentions. He said coldly: "No need to trouble Mr. Liao, Mr. Liao should take care of himself first. Winter has come early this year, don't catch a chill!"
Zhang Guanyu said, closing the folding fan in his hand and turning to leave the store.
In response to Zhang Guanyu's obviously threatening words before he left, Liao Wenyuan just smiled and didn't take it seriously. He was a master of the Condensing Pulse period himself and wasn't afraid of the United Chamber of Commerce at all. Moreover, he was under the command of the Crown Prince, so what could Zhang Guanyu do to him?
