Chapter 1767: Chapter 1765: The Death of Ximen Yan
"Simply courting death!" Ximen Yanâs eyes revealed a hint of disdain. He took a deep breath: "Since youâre seeking death, Iâll grant it to you!"
With a loud boom, the two exchanged punches, sending a figure flying heavily away, smashing into a large rock nearby.
"How is this possible!" The shadow lying on the ground spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, looking at Ximen Shuang with disbelief: "You... how is your strength so strong? You were hiding your power before? You really are an insidious villain!"
Ximen Shuang was equally bewildered, having braced herself for certain death, but unexpectedly, she had punched Ximen Yan away. Could her strength really be that formidable? But how could that be possible!
At this moment, a cough came from behind Ximen Shuang from Ling Feng: "I think you might be misunderstanding something?"
"Who are you!" Ximen Shuang was startled, quickly spinning around and looking at Ling Feng with vigilant eyes.
Ling Feng said somewhat helplessly: "Whatâs with your expression? Without my hidden assistance, do you think you could have faced that beast?"
"Ah, you helped me?" Ximen Shuang said, somewhat surprised, and then awkwardly: "I was saying that my strength wasnât a match for Ximen Yan... Wait, why did you help me?"
Why help her? Actually, when Ling Feng heard Ximen Shuang stubbornly say, "No matter the circumstance, never give up hope, never give up the battle," Ling Feng decided to help her!
Because Ling Fengâs journey has been supported by that belief! He believes that people with such a belief are worth aiding!
Moreover, Ling Feng also wanted to leverage the Ximen Familyâs power, and the kind-hearted Ximen Shuang clearly has more potential for cooperation than the vicious Ximen Yan!
"Why help you, probably because youâre pretty!" Ling Feng laughed casually: "If youâre unwilling, I can go help him!"
Saying so, Ling Feng pointed to Ximen Yan, who was struggling to get up from the ground.
"No!" Ximen Shuang quickly said: "I... sorry, I shouldnât have doubted you, thank you for your help!"
However, Ximen Shuangâs cheeks turned slightly red from Ling Fengâs "teasing". She still wasnât quite used to being complimented in such a tone by someone in front of her.
"Who are you!" Ximen Yan looked furious when he saw Ling Feng appearing behind Ximen Shuang.
He nearly succeeded, then suddenly this guy appeared, who exactly is he, and why does good fortune always stand behind Ximen Shuang?
"Iâm just a passerby!" Ling Feng said, somewhat amused, at Ximen Yanâs angry eyes: "Just canât stand the villainâs nasty face, you can just call me the Envoy of Justice, Lei Feng!"
"Lei Feng?" Ximen Yan was dumbfounded: "What nonsense about being the Envoy of Justice, you... if you help me, I can give you any riches and glory you want, Iâm the Young Master of the Ximen Family, I keep my word!"
Ling Feng shrugged and said: "But just now I heard this little beauty is also from the Ximen Family. What she can offer me, you canât! What you canât offer me, she can!"
"Impossible! Sheâs just a woman, she has no status in the Ximen Family, what can she give you?" Ximen Yan shouted defiantly.
Ling Feng chuckled: "A beauty can offer herself, can you do that?"
"You..." Ximen Yan gritted his teeth: "Are you mocking me?"
Ximen Shuangâs face turned bright red. Although this big brother was handsome and powerful, his words were too... I havenât even considered this!
Ling Feng shook his head: "Youâre only now realizing, indeed your intelligence is lacking. Now I finally understand why your grandfather doesnât like you, because youâre too stupid!"
"Youâre courting death!" Ximen Yan struggled to stand, but before he could get up, Ling Feng slapped him down, instantly killing him on the spot, his eyes wide open, seemingly not believing this scene!
Ximen Shuang was startled: "You... you killed him?"
"How is it me who killed him? Iâm helping you kill him!" Ling Feng said curiously: "I had no past grievances nor recent grudges with Ximen Yan, why would I want to kill him?"
Ximen Shuangâs mouth twitched, pausing for a moment before saying: "Thatâs right, Ximen Yan wanted to kill me, so I had you kill him. Therefore... it wasnât you who killed him, it was me who killed him!"
Ling Feng looked surprised at Ximen Shuang for a moment, not expecting her to accept the fact so quickly.
"Big Brother Lei, the power of the Ximen Family is beyond your imagination, so, no matter what, you must never say that you killed him!" Ximen Shuang explained: "Even if you killed Ximen Yan to protect me, it remains unforgivable to the Ximen Family. So... Ximen Yan was killed by me!"
Saying so, Ximen Shuang stepped forward, once again raising a palm and striking Ximen Yanâs corpse.
This time, Ling Feng was truly shocked as he looked at the trembling girl. A complex feeling flashed through his heart! Did Ximen Shuang do this to protect him? She really is a kind-hearted girl!
Ximen Shuang let out a sigh. Although she hadnât killed anyone before, it didnât mean she couldnât kill, nor did it mean she had a heart of the Holy Mother! Ximen Yan wanted to kill her, and now Ximen Yan died in front of her. Her heart felt no regret, just some lament.
"Alright, youâre safe now, Iâm going to leave!" Ling Feng said deliberately.
Ximen Shuang froze for a moment: "Ah, youâre leaving?"
"Yes!" Ling Feng said: "Now that Ximen Yan is dead, youâre safe too, I really am just passing by..."
"Canât you stay?" Ximen Shuang said: "You saved me, I havenât repaid you yet. Furthermore... I have Ximen Yanâs spies among my people, Iâm... Iâm a little scared, can you continue to protect me?"
Seeing Ling Fengâs face showing hesitation, Ximen Shuang quickly said: "As long as you protect me until I reach the Ximen Family, I will definitely have my grandfather repay you well!"
Ling Feng waved his hand: "What repayment, Lei Feng doing good deeds never leaves a name! Also, I donât care about any repayment. If your grandfather were to betroth you to me... do you think thatâs possible?"
Ximen Shuangâs face turned red again: "Big Brother Lei, what are you saying!"
Ling Feng laughed heartily: "Just joking, donât take it too seriously. But... do you trust me so much? Arenât you afraid Iâll sell you out?"
"Big Brother Lei saved me, of course I trust Big Brother Lei!" Ximen Shuang said earnestly.
