Chapter 138 Dual Blades, Icy Brilliance in the Martial World (7)

“From now on, the engagement between the daughter of the head of the Wind Guardian Hall and the Young Villa Master of the Divine Sword Villa is dissolved.” Bai Tang pushed the Yin-Yang Twin Fish Pendant towards Tantai Shouyang with one palm.

Tantai Shouyang caught the pendant, sighed helplessly and with a tinge of heartache. Lady Yao was indeed a good woman, but alas, fate had its own plans.

Tantai Ziheng wore an incredulous expression.

Lady Yao… She really came to break off the engagement!

After handing over the pendant to Tantai Shouyang, Bai Tang didn’t say much, turning around and leaving. People around looked at her with pity and sympathy, earning her a wave of goodwill.

“That damn Blood Devil Cult!”

“What a pitiful for a pair of lovers!”

“Bai Tang is such a principled woman!”

“Sensible and strong-willed. If I had a daughter like her, I’d be content!”

“Alas, how pitiful!”

…

Tantai Ziheng subconsciously wanted to chase after Bai Tang, but Tantai Shouyang promptly grabbed him, watching Bai Tang’s figure disappear quickly. He sighed and said, “Ziheng, after all, it’s a matter of fate. Lady Yao is a good girl. Let’s help her as much as we can.”

Tantai Ziheng seemed a bit dazed, and without resisting, he was led back into the villa by Tantai Shouyang.

Tantai Shouyang knew Tantai Ziheng too well. Once inside, he directly ordered, “Take the Young Villa Master back to his room, and he’s not allowed to go outside.”

After some time, Ziheng would surely come to his senses, right?

“Father!” Tantai Ziheng angrily protested.

No, he must find an opportunity to go out.

He couldn’t let the engagement be broken off like this.

Lady Yao was the girl he loved, and revenge should be a shared responsibility. Moreover, their fate shouldn’t end like this.

Father was being too cautious today, trying to distance himself. What about when this devil leader finds the Divine Sword Villa in the future? How should they deal with him?

This devil leader was already notorious for his evil deeds, universally condemned in the martial world. He cared little for rules and regulations.

…

“Thank you, Young Lady Bai. I actually really like Ziheng.” Yaoyao’s voice carried a hint of crying.

Bai Tang replied, “I can see that. The feelings between you two are mutual.”

Yaoyao continued, “Feelings are fragile in the face of life’s uncertainties. Without the Graceful Steps Over Ripples technique and without a prestigious family background, Uncle Tantai won’t let me be Ziheng’s wife. Young Lady Bai, you were right. Bearing a blood feud, and I shouldn’t indulge in romantic affairs. This vendetta, you’ve already helped me with it. As a daughter, I am guilty to my parents, and as the daughter of the head of the Wind Guardian Hall, I am guilty to everyone in the Wind Guardian Hall. Yaoyao is indeed useless…”

To rely on others even for revenge made her feel truly worthless.

Bai Tang comforted, “Young Lady Yaoyao, turn your guilt and hatred into your motivation, focus on recovering your spiritual essence. When you’re nearly restored, I’ll help you slowly return to your own body. As long as you live, you carry the bloodline of your parents, the continuation of Wind Guardian Hall. If anything happens to you, the Wind Guardian Hall will truly lose its last descendant.”

“I understand. Thank you, Young Lady Bai,” Yaoyao said softly.

Bai Tang let out a light sigh. Yaoyao made her nostalgic for the times with Wen Yueqing and Tang Manli—those flower-like, beautiful, and remarkably resilient girls. It was a pity that after leaving those worlds, she lost contact with them. There was also the deceased Ayimu, the timid one.

Indeed, everyone craved genuine affection.

As they reached a small hill, Bai Tang’s gaze turned cold, and a faint smile played on her lips.

She hadn’t been visible for long, and already someone had found her.

Bai Tang suddenly stopped, and the person hiding in the shadows naturally knew that Bai Tang had detected him. However, he didn’t care much. The women of the Bai Clan in the Wind Guardian Hall were not skilled in martial arts. Judging from her appearance, she seemed very weak. As long as he hit her hard enough, she would lose at least half of her life.

The person stepped out from the shadows, and Bai Tang observed a tall and sturdy man with a sinister face. He looked intimidating and not easy to provoke.
