Chapter: 78

"I want a divorce."

"Absolutely not!" Ling Yuefeng shouted.

His face filled with shock, he looked at Yufeng with disbelief.

Yufeng was the reason why their sect was the strongest and feared the most. If there was no Yufeng, wouldn't that mean he wouldn't have a Sacred Grounds backing any longer? Wouldn't that make him just another sect within the Blue Wind Empire? Yuefeng couldn't let this happen!

Their sect would receive such good gifts from the Sacred Ground. Even if they were trash to them, every year. If there was no Yufeng, then they wouldn't even bother looking at them!

"Yufeng, my wife, think about our children! What would they think!? Are you willing to make them hate you for a junior!?"

Yufeng's eyes trembled. Indeed, if there was someone whom she loved as much as her husband, then that would be her children. Thinking about them, her eyes became misty. Seeing this, Yuefeng smiled.

Yes, that's right! Even if she couldn't stay with him any longer, he could use the children to his advantage to make her stay. But his hopes shattered the next second.

Yufeng's expression suddenly changed, and her gaze solidified; as if coming to a conclusion, she looked towards Ling Kun and stated: "Uncle, I want Yun'er and Jie'er to be moved back home!"

By home, obviously, she was talking about Mighty Heavenly Sword Region! Meaning, she wanted to move Ling Yun and Ling Jie to the Mighty Heavenly Sword Region, completely cutting all forms of connection with the Heavenly Sword Villa! This, of course, wasn't something Yuefeng was willing to see.

He looked at Yufeng with a heated gaze and loudly said, "I would never allow you to take away my children, Yufeng!"

They were his only way, if Yufeng left, to be in contact with the Sacred Ground. If they left, wouldn't that make their sacred ground absolutely useless? After all, they were the best seed within his Villa right now! Without them, they would be put behind by every other major sect!

"Your opinion wasn't asked here, Yuefeng," Yufeng coldly replied, shutting Yuefeng's hopes down to gutter instantly. "If you want to stand in my way... then don't blame me for using forceful ways. And believe me, you wouldn't want me to use them!"

"..." Yuefeng gritted his teeth as he felt all his energy leaving his body, causing him to fall on his knees, stunned.

Gone... Everything was gone! At this rate, everything would be lost!

"No! There is still a chance!" Remembering his kids, hope returned to his eyes. First, he could try to manipulate them to stay back with him. And if they didn't want to, then he could always use parental love to form connections with the Sacred Ground. This way, even if Yufeng hates him, he could use his kids to get the protection of the Sacred Ground!

Thinking this, light returned to his eyes. He looked at Yufeng with a hateful gaze and an angry expression. "Yun Che... Yun Che... I swear if there is one thing I, Yuefeng, do in his life, then that is to kill you!"

"Yufeng, are you sure?" Just to be safe, Ling Kun inquired.

Not that he was against this idea, in fact, he absolutely agreed to it! Compared to Yuefeng, Ling Kun obviously saw more value in someone like Yun Che who could open all profound entrances of someone!

By giving Yufeng to him would allow them to get him to their side, Ling Kun thought it was an absolutely best deal!

The only problem was, even in front of such a gain, he was worried that Yufeng was forcing herself to do it. Knowing her love for Yuefeng, he found it hard that she was willing to leave him so easily.

But what he didn't know was that the hate had been accumulated within Yufeng's heart all her life, which was finally released today! She had already lost all hopes of ever making Yuefeng love her and not see her as an object to be used.

In this way, she saw no value in their relationship anymore! In fact, she would look stupid if, even after knowing all of this, she still pursued Yuefeng and wished for him to change.

Someone who couldn't change his whole life, how could he suddenly change now?

Obviously not!

As such, she had already made up her mind to leave him!

"Yes. After these past days... I'm absolutely sure!"

Seeing her determined gaze, Ling Kun nodded.

He looked towards Yuefeng, and his eyes turned sharp.

"Today, you will announce to divorce her! If not, then…"

Feeling Ling Kun's killing intent, Yuefeng's body shuddered. Gathering his courage, he spoke: "Can we wait until the end of the tournament? Such matters will affect the hearts of Yun'er and Jie'er! If that happens, it will definitely affect their performance during the tournament."

"... Alright." Yufeng thought for a while and decided that, for her kids, she could bear that much. She looked at Yuefeng with disgust and added, "During this time, I don't want you to come near me at all!"

"Yes, I understand…"

"Since the matter is settled, Yufeng, why don't you change your clothes and we go and meet Yun Che? While at it, ahem, we might have him open all my entrances too."

"..." Yufeng stared at Ling Kun silently before releasing a heavy sigh.

Divorcing Yuefeng didn't mean she accepted Yun Che. In fact, her hate for him was as great as her hate for Yuechan! And if she could, she didn't want to deal with him any time sooner.

Only, she knew the very reason Ling Kun agreed to divorce, despite the fact that it would definitely affect their reputation, was because of the existence of Yun Che and his ability to open all her entrances! If not for that, she was certain that Ling Kun would definitely try to kill him!

"I will do that then." Saying with a heavy voice, she returned to her room to change clothes.

Thinking about seeing Yun Che's face, her heart was filled with grievance and annoyance. Yet, she could only follow behind her uncle silently.

Soon, they appeared in front of Profound Palace's courtyard.

Ling Kun knocked at the entrance, and soon the door was pushed open.

They saw a big man standing there. He looked like a giant, yet feeling his strength, both of them lost all interest in him—only at the Elemental Realm, they thought he was probably a servant.

"Is Yun Che inside?" Ling Kun was direct with his approach; his voice was domineering and arrogant. Obviously, with his status, he didn't find any reason to lower his position to talk with the servant boy in front of him more than necessary.

"Brother-in-law? Yes, he is inside," Yuanba replied. "Should I call him?"

Both Yufeng and Ling Kun's eyes glinted when they heard the way Yuanba called Yun Che, but they didn't make a scene there.

Instead, Ling Kun replied, "No need," and directly entered the courtyard followed by Yufeng.

As he walked further inside, he found that Yun Che was sitting beside a pond, drinking tea while Cang Yue was massaging his shoulders with a happy smile on her face.

This made them feel weird. Weren't they in a relationship? Then why does it look like a maid is serving her master? — they thought. But they didn't dwell much on it.

Ling Kun walked closer to them. Reaching, he arrogantly asked, "Are you Yun Che?"

As an elder, Yufeng's uncle, and someone within the Tyrant Profound Realm, Ling Kun didn't want to change his image, so he acted arrogant and domineering even in front of Yun Che, the person who he saw as a valuable treasure!

Yun Che opened his eyes and looked towards Ling Kun. His gaze moved towards Yufeng behind before a smile appeared over his face.

"Indeed. How may I help you?" Ling Kun nodded.

"I heard you want to marry my niece? Is that true?"

Seeing Ling Kun's acting of trying to come out as a caring uncle, Yun Che chuckled. How could he not see through this greedy person who only saw his own gain in everything? It was so obvious that it made him smile even more.

His face became serious and he answered, "Not really, I'm forced by the choice. Yufeng drugged me last night and raped me. Even if I didn't consent, I'm a man of commitment! And as a man, I take responsibility for everything! Since she fucked me, I could only fuck her in return. And since I fucked her, I can only take responsibility by taking her as my wife. So to your question, yes, I indeed want to marry her."

Yufeng's face turned red, either with anger or embarrassment, it was not known. She couldn't believe that Yun Che would be so vulgar, using such language so openly with her uncle. Also, she wanted to say she didn't rape him and it's all a misunderstanding, but she couldn't. It was all her fault and she could only bear with this misunderstanding all her life now!

Ling Kun cringed hearing Yun Che's direct reply, making him speechless as to what to say anymore. Hearing the soft giggle coming out of Cang Yue's mouth, which she hid behind her soft hands, he snorted.

"Whatever the case may be, since you both have already consented in this matter, I can only agree."

"That's the case." Yun Che nodded before gesturing towards a chair in front. "Don't stand then. Since you are going to be my uncle-in-law, why don't you have tea with me on this beautiful morning? There is still some time before the tournament starts and we can enjoy our time till then."

Ling Kun nodded and sat in front of Yun Che, while Yufeng walked and stood behind him.

Cang Yue poured tea for Ling Kun, who looked at her with interest in his eyes and stated, "I have seen you using Sword Intent during your previous fight, and I can only say that it was beautiful. Our sacred ground thrives with sword saints! This old man wonders if you are interested in joining it? I'm sure you can see more of your potential there than in this small empire!"

Such an offer, if someone else heard it, it is estimated that they would have gone mad! A chance of joining a sacred ground... no one would have thought of it even in their lifetime! And yet, Cang Yue was given an offer directly to her face on her first meeting with Ling Kun!

If the news about it became public, she would definitely become the target of jealousy for everyone within the empire.

"Cang Yue is happy that you have invited her, but Cang Yue would like to decline." With a smile on her face not changing, she replied. "Cang Yue only has Brother Yun in her eyes... and even if I remain a mortal my whole life, as long as I'm with him, Cang Yue is content with it."

Ling Kun narrowed his eyes and looked towards Yun Che, who smirked and said, "What can I say… I am a lucky man."
