The Savage Lady Wants to Kill Me! Reborn on the Path of Cultivation

Tian Xin heard this and a gentle smile appeared on her lips. She stood up and gently placed her jade hand on Duan Tianyang's shoulder...

This action would be considered a bit intimate in modern times, but on her, it seemed so natural and pure, without any sense of frivolity.

"Although human life is determined by heaven, destiny is not unchangeable. Why should you worry too much, sir?"

Duan Tianyang sighed and said slowly: "If my decision only concerns my own life and death, I will not hesitate no matter what the result is. But this matter is of great importance, and it concerns hundreds of thousands of troops in the entire army. It is hard for me not to worry."

Tian Xin stared into his eyes and said, "Since you are going to the Kingdom of Jin this time, why don't you take Junior Brother Fang with you?"

"No." Duan Tianyang said without hesitation, "We are going to fight now, not to play. Especially when we go deep into enemy territory, we need everyone to be united to defeat the enemy. If I bring him along, given his personality, if something happens, the consequences will be disastrous."

"So, you want to keep me in Saint Luo City?"

"Yes, it's because I'm worried about him staying in Shengluo City, so I asked Miss Tianxin to stay here for a while and take care of him. This request is really helpless, I hope you don't mind." Duan Tianyang spoke sincerely.

Tian Xin smiled, waved her hand gently, and said, "Master Duan, you are too kind."

Duan Tianyang was not quite the same as she had imagined. He was more easy-going, approachable, and gentle. It was hard to imagine that such a gentleman could rule the army with an iron fist and kill Fang Quan and his followers in one fell swoop, with such a wide range of consequences that it was staggering.

"Master Duan, there is one thing I don't understand. I would like to hear the details."

"what's up?"

"How could Uncle Yi's Universal Ring fall into your hands?" When Tian Xin first heard about this, he was also full of surprise, and his heart was full of confusion and curiosity.

"To be honest, this Wanxiang Ring was given to me as a gift by a friend of mine. Her last name is also Yi, but she is a girl."

He paused, and continued, "This Wanxiang Ring is a relic left to her by her master. Her master is most likely the Uncle Yi that the girl mentioned."

Tian Xin's face became more curious when he heard this, and he blurted out, "What's the name of the friend you mentioned?"

"Her name is Yi Yunxi."

Tian Xin looked confused when she heard this. This name was very unfamiliar to her and she had never heard of it before.

She had lived in Tongtian Tower since she was young, and she had no idea that Uncle Yi had a female disciple hidden under his tutelage.

The Uncle Master Yi that she and Fang Fengcheng mentioned was named Yi Huang. He was not only a highly respected elder of Tongtian Pavilion, but also Yi Tian’s younger brother, Yi Shuirou’s uncle, and even more shockingly, he was also Yi Yunxi’s biological father...

And Yi Yunxi's mother is actually her brother Yi Tian's wife, Liu Yuanxiang.

The Yi family has three sons. Yi Yuan is the eldest, Yi Tian is the second, and Yi Huang is the third.

This complicated family dispute created Yi Yunxi's tragic life experience...

However, Tian Xin and Duan Tian Yang were unaware of these things. Just as they were talking, a loud shout suddenly came from outside the pavilion: "What are you two doing?"

The two looked in the direction of the sound and saw Tong Ling walking into the pavilion angrily with big strides.

Stepping into the pavilion, she saw Tianxin's hand still lightly on Duan Tianyang's shoulder. Her heart was burning with anger, and her eyes were as sharp as torches, shooting directly at Tianxin.

Tianxin grew up in Tongtian Tower since he was a child and knew very little about secular etiquette. He was completely unaware that there was anything wrong with his behavior.

However, she keenly sensed Tong Ling's hostility towards her, so she turned to Duan Tianyang and asked, "Master Duan, who is this girl...?"

Before Duan Tianyang could reply, Tong Ling took the lead and introduced herself: "I am Tong Ling, his wife!"

After she finished speaking, seeing that Tianxin's hand was still there, she became furious, stepped forward and pushed it away, then held Duan Tianyang's arm tightly, as if declaring her sovereignty, with her eyes wide open, confronting Tianxin.

A trace of doubt flashed across Tianxin's brows, not understanding why Tong Ling was so angry with her.

Duan Tianyang sighed helplessly. This is not a solution...

He frowned, slowly pulled his arms away from Tong Ling's embrace, looked at her deeply, and said softly but firmly: "Xiao Ling, it's time to set a clear boundary for our relationship. You are not my wife, and I will not marry you, and it will be the same in the future..."

In the past, Duan Tianyang always felt that Tong Ling was still young and was afraid of hurting her. Many decisive words were difficult to say, and he just hoped that she could understand on her own and retreat quietly.

However, contrary to her wishes, her emotions not only did not diminish, but became more intense...

Now, it's time to make things clear.

Tong Ling's eyes gradually became misty. She stared at Duan Tianyang in disbelief and asked in a trembling voice, "You...you are so cruel. Now that you have fallen in love with her, are you going to abandon me?"

After saying this, she angrily pointed at Tian Xin who was standing beside her with a confused look on her face, tears welling up in her eyes.

Duan Tianyang couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this. This misunderstanding was truly as deep as the sea.

He explained: "Xiao Ling, I can treat you as a relative and love you like a sister, but that feeling is definitely not the love between a man and a woman. Do you understand?"

He was very interested in girls, but that was limited to mature women, not little girls like Tong Ling.

What's more, his heart has already been occupied by two other women...

"You...are you saying you don't want me anymore?" Tong Ling's tears finally fell, her eyes were filled with resentment and hatred, as if she wanted to see through Duan Tianyang's heart.

Duan Tianyang smiled bitterly and said hurriedly: "It's not like that. I have never had any improper thoughts about you. I have always treated you as my sister..."

As he spoke, he took out a white handkerchief from his arms and wanted to wipe away her tears.

"Who wants to be your sister!" Tong Ling waved her hand suddenly and dropped the handkerchief to the ground.

She bit her lower lip tightly, holding back tears, stared at Duan Tianyang for a moment, and said word by word: "You will regret it!"

After saying this, she turned and ran out of the pavilion.

Watching her running away, Duan Tianyang subconsciously leaned forward, paused, and finally decided not to chase her...

He didn't want the misunderstanding to continue and end up hurting others and himself...

Tian Xin looked at him sideways and asked in confusion, "Why don't you chase after her?"

Duan Tianyang shook his head calmly and sighed: "Forget it, let her go."

"Is she really your wife?"

"No, it's all just a misunderstanding."

In response to Tian Xin's further questioning, he slowly told the story of his past with Tong Ling, but he concealed the secret that he was proficient in the art of face-saving, and only said that he was good at disguise.

Tian Xin smiled brightly upon hearing this, and suddenly realized: "So that's how it is, you saved her out of kindness, and there is no love between you and me."

After saying that, she looked at Duan Tianyang with burning eyes...

That look made Duan Tianyang blush slightly, and he asked awkwardly: "Why are you looking at me like that?"

Tian Xin chuckled: "I'm just curious about what the love between men and women that everyone talks about is like."
