Qiao Wenxuan walked out of Qin Tian's room, burdened with heavy thoughts.

When she returned to her own little courtyard, a figure in white was already there, waiting for her.

"Senior Brother Liu."

Seeing the young man in white, Qiao Wenxuan stopped and came back to her senses, speaking softly.

The young man in white was one of the Five Prodigies of Qilin, a disciple of the Main Vein, Liu Huachen.

Seeing the beautiful Qiao Wenxuan, his eyes immediately lit up with a certain brightness, and his gaze lingered on Qiao Wenxuan's graceful figure.

"Wenxuan, last time you said you'd consider marrying me. It's been half a year now, what have you decided?"

As Liu Huachen said this, he walked up, intending to embrace Qiao Wenxuan, who retreated repeatedly: "Senior Brother Liu, please show some respect."

Liu Huachen frowned slightly at this: "What, are you... going to reject me? I'm one of the three senior disciples of the Main Vein and one of the Qilin Five Prodigies. Marrying me is exactly what you wanted; uniting the Left Pulse and the Main Vein can secure your father's position as Left Pulse Sect Leader, right?"

"Would Elder Liu be willing to help secure my father's position?" Qiao Wenxuan stared at Liu Huachen and asked.

She had agreed to consider Liu Huachen's proposal purely because of his uncle, Elder Liu of the Main Vein.

"As long as I can help my father and the Left Pulse to weather the storm, I... I'm willing to sacrifice my happiness..."

Half a year ago, Qiao Wenxuan had made such a resolution.

This Liu Huachen, with his ordinary looks, was both arrogant and lecherous. Qiao Wenxuan found him repulsive; if she had no other choice, why would she consider his proposal?

"My uncle is my paternal uncle. If you marry me, we'll be family. By then, at the assembly two years from now, with my uncle supporting you, which elder in the Qilin Mountain Sect would dare to challenge your father?"

Liu Huachen smirked triumphantly, trying once again to hold Qiao Wenxuan: "Wenxuan, just accept me. Haha, becoming my woman is only beneficial for your Left Pulse, with no disadvantages..."

"Senior Brother Liu, Senior Brother Liu!"

Seeing Senior Brother Liu about to make a move, Qiao Wenxuan quickly distanced herself from him, saying: "Senior Brother Liu, I have made up my mind..."

"Oh?"

"I think we... are not suitable."

"What?"

Upon hearing Qiao Wenxuan's words, Liu Huachen's face immediately fell: "You say we're not suitable? What do you mean? Are you saying that I, Liu Huachen, am not worthy of you?"

"No, it's that I'm not worthy of Senior Brother."

"Haha, whether you're worthy of me or not is not for you to decide; it's for me to decide. Besides, I never said I would make you my main wife. As a second or third wife, you're still worthy of me, Liu Huachen."

Upon hearing this, Qiao Wenxuan's face turned instantly red, but she suppressed her disgust and anger and said: "Forget it, Senior Brother Liu, don't come to the Left Pulse again. I, Qiao Wenxuan, am not worthy of being Senior Brother's second or third wife. Please leave."

"Chasing me away? What do you mean? You seduced me half a year ago, and now you want to drive me away? Do you have someone else in mind?" Liu Huachen sneered, seeing Qiao Wenxuan's flushed face. His desire flared up as he strode towards Qiao Wenxuan.

"I—I do have someone else in mind... Please respect yourself, Senior Brother Liu!" Qiao Wenxuan retreated several steps, contemplating.

"Who? Tell me who it is. I want to see who dares compete with me, Liu Huachen, for a woman in the Qilin Mountain Sect. Are they tired of living?"

"I!"

Just as Qiao Wenxuan was frightened to the brink, a voice sounded from outside the courtyard. Then, Qin Tian strode in from outside, seeing Liu Huachen's arrogant demeanor. He went straight up and said: "You must be Senior Brother Liu Huachen of the Qilin Mountain Sect? Coming to our Left Pulse to harass our Senior Sister, huh? If word gets out, your reputation might be a bit tarnished."

Liu Huachen turned his head, his gaze locking onto Qin Tian, sneering coldly: "In this Main Left Pulse, you must be that Qin Tian I've heard of to dare to speak to me in such a manner. Humph, humph, you've been quite the sensation recently, but in front of me, do you really think you're a match for the Qilin Five Prodigies?"

Indeed, Qin Tian was currently not a match for the Qilin Five Prodigies.

"Did I challenge you? You trespassed into our Senior Sister's room with ill intent towards her. If the disciples and elders of the Main and Right Pulse hear about this... do you think you'll be more famous than I am? Our Senior Sister has already rejected you. Are you planning to use force, relying on your high cultivation? I don't mind blowing this matter up. Then, do you think your uncle would commend you for your actions and reward you with time to reflect facing a wall?"

Qin Tian faced Liu Huachen, showing no sign of backing down.

He had long heard that although Liu Huachen was unrestrained and one of the Qilin Five Prodigies, he was strictly disciplined by his uncle, Elder Liu, and was often punished to reflect by facing the wall.

Therefore, every word Qin Tian spoke struck Liu Huachen's sore spot.

"Hmph! So, you fancy Qiao Wenxuan too? Humph, fine, kid, I'll remember you. Just wait and see!"

Considering the potential consequences of blowing things up, Liu Huachen turned to glance at Qiao Wenxuan angrily: "Slut! Willing to sleep with a slave disciple. Just wait; two years from now, your Qiao family will definitely be expelled from the Left Pulse!"

Liu Huachen viciously threatened Qiao Wenxuan before leaving with a flick of his hand. As he left, he stared murderously at Qin Tian: "One day, you'll fall into my hands!"

"I'll be waiting," Qin Tian responded coolly.

After Liu Huachen left, Qiao Wenxuan hung her head low, and tears streamed down her delicate cheeks...

Liu Huachen's humiliation left her daring to be angry but not daring to speak.

"Senior Sister, this guy is just a rogue; you don't have to stoop to his level," Qin Tian stepped forward to comfort her.

"Qin Tian! Sob sob..."

Suddenly, as Qin Tian approached Qiao Wenxuan, she threw herself into Qin Tian's embrace, crying. The fragrant beauty in his arms left Qin Tian a little dumbfounded.

"Senior Sister, the more it comes to times like this, the more you need to be strong. You can't let that kind of scum bully you," Qin Tian comforted her.

Qiao Wenxuan, sobbing and holding onto Qin Tian's waist, cried: "Qin Tian, you... sob... It's so good to have you! Sob..."

...

In the following month, Qin Tian trained frantically, almost residing at the edge of Duan Hun Cliff, day and night.

Strangely, although Qin Tian didn't feel it in other places, as long as he was training by Duan Hun Cliff, his comprehension and cultivation results would suddenly accelerate, often yielding twice the result with half the effort!

For this reason, Qin Tian used the terrifying Duan Hun Cliff as his secluded training ground.

During his secluded training, Qiao Wenxuan delivered meals and water to Qin Tian three times a day, rain or shine.
