Lian Xinyue remained silent at Yang Wei's comment as she tilted her head slightly to glance at Lian Fu.
Lian Fu secretly tugged on her sleeve as he started increasing his pressure on Yang Wei.
"Yang Wei, one last chance- are you going to accept my granddaughter?" Lian Fu then shouted.
Yang Wei shook his head as he gave the same response.
"Apologies senior but my decision does not change no matter what." Yang Wei said, while fully knowing how stubborn he is in this matter.
Meanwhile, the pressure that was about to penetrate Yang Wei's body suddenly stopped.
"Haha, indeed my Little Xinyue was correct and that I predicted it wrongly." Lian Fu suddenly shouted loudly as he threw some pills toward Yang Wei.
"Young man, you are indeed a worthy youth to be regarded highly by my Little Xinyue." Lian Fu added.
Yang Wei held a dumbfounded expression as he couldn't comprehend the situation.
"I'm sorry Yang Wei but my grandfather wanted to test your character and forced me to act like that." Lian Xinyue bowed her head slightly as she started explaining their plan when they went to find him.
"Huh?" Yang Wei stared at the two of them in a disbelief expression.
'Were they trolling me this entire time?' Yang Wei pondered inwardly before twitching his brow.
It would be a lie if he said he wasn't angry by their ploy as he almost felt like dying just a split second ago.
"Y-Yang Wei, if you really want to be mad at someone then you should be mad at my grandfather." Lian Xinyue stuttered as she shifted the blame toward Lian Fu.
"My Little Xinyue- how can you throw me under the bus like that?" Lian Fu held a bitter expression as he stared at Lian Xinyue.
Meanwhile, Su Mingxia forcefully opened the door as she panted heavily.
"Yang Wei, are you safe?" Su Mingxia ran toward Yang Wei and started inspecting his body.
Her expression darkened when she noticed many blood splatterings on the floor as she glared fiercely at Lian Fu.
"Lian Fu, do you know the consequences for harming Yang Wei?" Su Mingxia held a ferocious gaze as she exuded a cold aura.
Yang Wei was also dumbfounded by Su Mingxia's anger as he never saw this side of her- not even when her Su Family guard came to try and bring her back to her family.
"Su Mingxia- you should calm your anger as I never intended to hurt Yang Wei at all." Lian Fu said awkwardly as he wondered how Su Mingxia managed to find their location in the first place.
'I made sure to cover our track and hid our aura yet Su Mingxia still sniffed us out.' Lian Fu exclaimed inwardly as he held an awkward smile at Su Mingxia.
Su Mingxia scoffed at the excuse Lian Fu made as she then focused her attention on Lian Xinyue.
"Very good, disciple Lian Xinyue." Su Mingxia said coldly. "As a core disciple, not only did you not report this matter, you also followed your grandfather's action."
Afterward, Su Mingxia held Yang Wei up as she warned them that she would definitely not let this incident slide.
Lian Fu and Lian Xinyue glanced at each other before sighing as they realized they had indeed gone overboard with their action.
These two unreasonable individuals had yet to realize their selfish behavior had made Yang Wei disappointed in them. Never had he met such an unruly girl like Lian Xinyue that would do something as dumb as testing his character for no logical reason.
Sometime later, Su Mingxia brought Yang Wei back to her own courtyard as she placed him down on the bed.
"Are you fine Yang Wei or do you need some healing pill?" Su Mingxia asked in concern. She was on the verge of having an all-out fight with Lian Fu if Yang Wei hadn't stopped her secretly.
"Un, thanks to your timely arrival otherwise, I would have a hard time escaping there." Yang Wei smiled gently at her.
"Well, it wasn't a timely arrival since there were many space fluctuations around the location so it took me some time to break open." Su Mingxia replied as she started cleaning away some sweat from Yang Wei's forehead with a small cloth.
Yang Wei didn't say anything else as he allowed Su Mingxia to help him wipe off some sweat.
Yang Wei soon laid down on the bed and closed his eyes since his spiritual qi was nearly exhausted from resisting Lian Fu's pressure.
Although it was true that Lian Fu didn't really mean to harm him, it still dealt a lot of damage to his soul as he was unable to counterattack him.
Sometime later, Yang Wei went into a deep slumber whereas Su Mingxia watched him sweetly on the side.
However, her expression soon changed as she stood up and took out a communication device.
"Elder Jing, there was a problem with Yang Wei." Su Mingxia said once the communication device connected to Elder Jing.
"What happened to Yang Wei?" Elder Jing's worried tone resounded.
"Lian Fu had forcefully captured Yang Wei and almost harmed his soul power in the meantime."
"What?! That Lian Fu truly had the nerve to harm my man when I'm not available." Elder Jing's tone became angry as she quickly commanded Su Mingxia.
"Inform Elder Shan and have her dealt with him accordingly. I'm having an important discussion currently with Alchemist Guo regarding Tang Xing's emergence."
The communication device slowly dimmed as Su Mingxia stored it back into her storage ring.
"Hmph, bullying Yang Wei simply because your cultivation base is stronger than him then you should watch me bully you with my influence as well." Su Mingxia snorted as she would definitely get revenge for Yang Wei.
"Argh"
Suddenly, a painful groan echoed in the room and Su Mingxia turned pale as she dashed toward Yang Wei's side.
Su Mingxia gasped in surprise when spiritual qi started surrounding Yang Wei's body, creating a defensive barrier around him.
