"I hope you can have a good talk with Xiaoxue, persuade her to give up the Wordless Heavenly Scripture. In this world, only you can achieve it!" the Head of Cheng Family said sincerely.

Ling Feng’s face showed a trace of a bitter smile: "Uncle Cheng, I would like to persuade Xiaoxue, but now she won’t even open the door for me, I..."

"Ling Feng, you should know, in Xiaoxue’s heart, you hold a special place, so..."

Before the words were finished, Cheng Minxue’s door slammed open. She looked at Ling Feng and her father with an icy expression, then grabbed Ling Feng’s arm and said to the Head of Cheng Family, "Father, there are quite a few injured members among the Cheng Family. I think you should go comfort them right now!"

Then she pulled Ling Feng back into her room and closed the door again.

"This girl!" The Head of Cheng Family touched his nose and said sulkily, "Do I need you to tell me that? I already have everything arranged!"

In the room, Cheng Minxue pointed to the chair beside her and said, "Sit down!"

Ling Feng looked at Cheng Minxue, whose face was cold, and awkwardly sat in the chair: "Well, Xiaoxue, I want to..."

"If you’re here to persuade me to give up the Wordless Heavenly Scripture, then save your breath!" Cheng Minxue said indifferently, "I will absolutely not give it up." 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

"Can I ask why?" Ling Feng couldn’t hold back and asked, "You should know your current physical condition. Staying with the Wordless Heavenly Scripture will quickly lead to your death!"

Cheng Minxue chuckled softly, "Death? What’s there to fear! Rather than living aimlessly, it’s better to die a glorious death! The day I accepted the Wordless Heavenly Scripture, I was mentally prepared for this!"

Seeing Cheng Minxue’s resolute face, Ling Feng didn’t know how to convince her. From the looks of it, Cheng Minxue’s mind was entirely focused on the Wordless Heavenly Scripture, and persuading her seemed nearly impossible!

"But have you thought about how heartbroken your relatives would be if you died?" Ling Feng had no choice but to try and convince her this way.

Cheng Minxue smiled, "I became the master of the Wordless Heavenly Scripture, so I can produce the Heavenly Scroll; I can contribute more to the Cheng Family and even the Ancient Ruins! I know that if I die, my father would be heartbroken, but sacrificing myself for a better future for the Cheng Family, I think my father would agree!"

"Do you think only your father would be heartbroken for you?" Ling Feng frowned and said.

"Otherwise?" Cheng Minxue smiled slightly, "Perhaps my death would become gossip for some, and some might feel pity for me, but I believe, while they may pity me, they wouldn’t be heartbroken. Why should I care about their feelings?"

"What about me? Do you think I can stand by and watch you go to your death?" Ling Feng’s expression was somewhat agitated, "Xiaoxue, do you think that just because I rejected you before, I wouldn’t care about you anymore or consider you as family?"

Cheng Minxue was stunned, staring dumbly at the suddenly enraged Ling Feng, momentarily at a loss for words.

Ling Feng took a deep breath and calmed down, saying, "Xiaoxue, you’re a lovely girl, but you grossly underestimate your importance in everyone’s hearts! It’s not just the Head of Cheng Family, not just the Cheng Family members, the other people you’re referring to, including me, won’t just stand by idly!"

Ling Feng glanced at Cheng Minxue and said, "If you don’t want to give up the Wordless Heavenly Scripture, then I’ll take tough measures. Saving the Ancient Ruins shouldn’t fall on a single girl’s shoulders!"

"You’re... you’re too domineering!" Cheng Minxue bit her lip and said, "Who are you to decide my life? Who do you think you are?"

Ling Feng said calmly, "Because I’m the son-in-law that Uncle Cheng personally acknowledged, understand? Your life isn’t just yours; it’s also mine. Therefore... I won’t allow you to waste it like this!"

"But you already rejected me!" Cheng Minxue’s face flushed slightly with a hint of anger, "Do you think I’m an unwanted girl?"

"You could try; who dares to snatch a woman from Ling Feng’s hands?" Ling Feng said indifferently, "Once everything settles, I will personally propose to Uncle Cheng. Until then, you have only one task: protect your body well, understand?"

Saying that, Ling Feng turned and left, leaving only one last sentence: "Sever the bond with the Wordless Heavenly Scripture. I don’t want you to keep it!"

Ling Feng left, while Cheng Minxue sat dumbfounded on the bed, Ling Feng’s earlier words echoing in her ears. After a while, she bit her lip and said angrily, "Why didn’t I realize before that you’re such a domineering person? I really misjudged you... but... if you go back on your word, I won’t let you off easily!"

After leaving those harsh words, Cheng Minxue fell onto the bed, her shoulders shaking, unable to suppress the laughter from under the covers.

Finding the Head of Cheng Family again, Ling Feng told him what he had said to Xiaoxue.

The Head of Cheng Family was overjoyed, "Ling Feng, are you speaking the truth? This isn’t just to pacify me, right?"

Ling Feng forced a smile and said, "Uncle Cheng, am I the kind of person who does that? The reason I initially rejected Xiaoxue was because I already had a wife in my world. I didn’t want to wrong Xiaoxue, but I didn’t expect Xiaoxue’s emotional knot to remain unresolved until it developed to this point!"

"If I retreat again, what kind of man am I? Beauty’s deep affection can’t be betrayed!" Ling Feng said seriously, "But Uncle Cheng, there are things I need to do right now, so matters between Xiaoxue and me will have to wait until everything is settled. Is that okay with you?"

"Fine, fine, of course!" The Head of Cheng Family was very happy. Ling Feng was someone he valued, and now his daughter could finally get her wish, so naturally, he was happy for her.

"Right now, we must focus on the bigger picture; both Xiaoxue and I understand this well. Rest assured, we won’t hold you back!" The Head of Cheng Family said, "If you need anything from us, don’t hesitate to ask!"

Ling Feng shook his head, "For now, there’s nothing needed, except... I want to venture onto the Path of Immortality!"

"What, the Path of Immortality?" The Head of Cheng Family’s eyes flashed with surprise, "Ling Feng, do you want to go to the Path of Immortality? Do you know it’s a one-way journey?"

"Uncle Cheng, you’re exaggerating; haven’t those Immortal Realm experts returned from the Immortal Path?" Ling Feng chuckled and said, "The Path of Immortality is only challenging; I’m quite confident in myself! So... Uncle Cheng, don’t worry!"
