Chapter 0008: Scars Left by Betrayal

Zhang Yong, this fool... ..." Xie Xiaoyan, who had just chased out from the restaurant, happened to overhear Zhang Yong's treacherous remarks, and her expression suddenly darkened.

He respects her, but in her eyes, this respect transforms into weakness, into cowardice

Even though Yun Qingyan no longer has feelings for Xie Xiaoyan, this scar still remains in his heart

"Regret? If I truly stop, the one who will immediately regret it is you!" Yun Qingyan let out a cold laugh, his figure already moving further away.

Three years ago, Yun Qingyan broke up with Xie Xiaoyan, not only because Xie Xiaoyan made him feel betrayed... but more so because he respected Xie Xiaoyan's choice

So this is what she thought

Three years ago, fifteen-year-old Yun Qingyan had a cultivation level of the fifth stage of the Star Realm

Apart from that, the breakup between the two individuals was not influenced by any external forces

A street vendor's stall was shattered by Zhang Yong's body, with splintered wood flying like dust.

In Yun Qingyan's heart, a murderous intent had long since begun to stir

"Yun Qingyan, what are you still hesitating about? I have already said that my fiancé will not find out. What are you still concerned about? Are you no longer a man? Do I have to take the initiative again and force you onto the bed?" Xie Xiaoyan, seeing that Yun Qingyan remained seated and unmoving, could not help but feel a bit irritated.

"What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and take that bastard Yun Qingyan down!" Zhang Yong, coming back to his senses, said with his eyes wide open in anger

However, although Xie Xiaoyan understood, she did not bring the term 'betrayal' to the forefront.

"Farewell! I hope this is our last meeting!" Yun Qingyan said, then stood up from his seat and walked towards the door

After coming down from the third floor of the restaurant, Yun Qingyan headed straight for the entrance

Because this is a scar from https://mhetushu.com, once mentioned, the scar will be reopened

If it were not for his past with Xie Xiaoyan, her remarks that insult his dignity would be enough to warrant her dying a thousand deaths

Imagine, if everyone believes that he is merely at the third level of the Star Realm, and then Yun Qingyan suddenly reveals his strength at the fourth or even fifth level of the Star Realm during the duel with Yun Yangqing, it would undoubtedly catch Yun Yangqing off guard and inflict harm upon him

From now on, I will be completely estranged from Yun Qingyan. Xie Xiaoyan felt an unprecedented sense of loss in her heart. After the scar of betrayal was uncovered, there was no possibility of her and Yun Qingyan being friends anymore, not even as the most ordinary of friends.

What Xie Xiaoyan did not know was that Yun Qingyan had no intention of concealing his cultivation level. At noon, he had already killed Yun Yue, who was at the fourth stage of the Star Realm, and even had someone return Yun Yue's corpse to the Grand Elder.

Boom

Three guards responded immediately, and then quickly ran up to block Yun Qingyan's path

The scar of betrayal, which Yun Qingyan had not revealed himself, nor had Xie Xiaoyan, is now uncovered by Zhang Yong, a person completely unrelated to it

The elegantly dressed young nobleman spoke in a sarcastic tone, "Moreover, I have heard that the first thing you did upon your return was to seize the heir of the Yun family? And you foolishly agreed to a seven-day duel with Yun Yangqing? Tsk tsk, I must say, you really haven't changed at all! Three years ago, you enjoyed competing with others for possessions, and three years later, you are still the same!"

At this moment, Yun Qingyan's heart was once again sharply pierced with pain

Hahaha... Zhang Yong sneered upon hearing this, "Yun Qingyan, oh Yun Qingyan, do you think it's still three years ago? The current you no longer has the qualification to make me roll away!"

Is there anything more ironic than this in the world

At the moment of the collision of the two palms, Zhang Yong's body was sent flying out.

If just a moment ago, Yun Qingyan's gaze was merely cold, now his look towards Xie Xiaoyan is filled with disgust

The young master... all three guards rushed over, helping Zhang Yong to his feet, their faces filled with anxiety as they asked, "Young master, are you alright?"

Yun Qingyan's two eyes narrowed down

Indeed, he harbored murderous intent in his heart, and it was nearly tangible.

Yun Qingyan's gaze instantly turned cold, "Do you have any idea that you are seeking death!"

By the way, there is something I have wanted to tell you for three years. The engagement between Xie Xiaoyan and the heir of the Huangcheng Ye family was established while you and she were still together, and it was done with Xie Xiaoyan's own consent. Do you know what this means

Xie Xiaoyan thought to herself: "It has been three years since we last met, and Yun Qingyan has already developed some depth of character. Unfortunately, while he has gained depth, he lacks patience... If he were to severely injure Zhang Yong now, it would surely be reported back to the Yun family, and at that time, Yun Yangqing would undoubtedly take precautions."

"Hahaha, Yun Qingyan, it has been three years since we last met. Don't you want to catch up with an old friend?" The elegantly dressed young nobleman laughed heartily and then walked over to Yun Qingyan.

He cannot accept any form of betrayal, nor will he forgive any form of betrayal

Strange, why does this person look so familiar!" The elegantly dressed young noble suddenly turned to Yun Qingyan, "Even the silhouette seems so reminiscent...

Zhang Yong's personal guards are all at the fifth level of the Star Realm. Should I lend him a hand?" Xie Xiaoyan said softly, then shook her head, "If Yun Qingyan's cultivation has truly not fallen, with his combat strength, defeating three martial artists of the same level would be no problem at all.

The young nobleman, dressed in splendid attire, suddenly displayed a hint of mockery on his face and commanded the three burly guards beside him, saying: "You three, go over and stop him!"

Zhang Yong deserves to die! After the feeling of loss, Xie Xiaoyan's heart was filled with murderous intent. But before she could act, Yun Qingyan had already struck first.

"Yun Qingyan, stop right there!" Xie Xiaoyan shouted. At that moment, Yun Qingyan had just opened the door and stepped out of the guest room.

Without waiting for Yun Qingyan to speak, Zhang Yong coldly laughed and said: "This means that Xie Xiaoyan has betrayed you, hahahaha..."

It is ! ''

Hmph, I have already said that the you of today is no longer the you from three years ago. Do you really think you can be my opponent now? How dare you take the initiative to strike!

The young nobleman dressed in splendid attire is named Zhang Yong, and he is the deputy master of the Zhang Family Martial Arts School

Seeing that Yun Qingyan did not stop, Xie Xiaoyan immediately became frantic, "Yun Qingyan, if you do not stop now, I guarantee you will regret it!"

What Yun Qingyan did not expect was that, in Xie Xiaoyan's eyes, he was willing to break up because he feared her fiancé

Three years ago, although Yun Qingyan was not yet an Immortal Emperor, he was still filled with pride deep within his bones

In the end, Yun Qingyan squinted his eyes and said, "As for your fiancé, what is he worth to make me fear him?"

After all, for Yun Qingyan, this kind of betrayal was the first time, and it remains the only instance to date.

Cough... cough! Zhang Yong coughed heavily, spitting out a mouthful of blood, and a wave of intense pain coursed through his body, as if all his bones had been shattered.

In terms of appearance alone, Xie Xiaoyan is indeed a beauty; however, compared to the unparalleled Empress Chi Yao, Xie Xiaoyan does not even qualify to carry her shoes

It is not because he still has lingering feelings for Xie Xiaoyan, but rather because he feels that his former self was unworthy

"Hmm?" Yun Qingyan's expression slightly furrowed.

He feared that if he continued to communicate, he would truly be unable to control himself and would kill Xie Xiaoyan

"You haven't changed either, still only capable of verbal sparring, still as annoying as ever," Yun Qingyan said coldly after recognizing the other party. "Alright, I'm not in a good mood, so if you know what's good for you, just get lost!"

Yun Qingyan walked quickly, and just as he exited the entrance of the tavern, a young nobleman dressed in splendid attire was entering the establishment

Ah, is this not Yun Qingyan! I have long heard that he has returned, but I did not expect to encounter him!

He is now enduring the urge to kill

What a joke, the Immortal Emperor Yun Qingyan still needs the pity of a woman? Even more ridiculous is that the way to repay this pity is through the body

Equally shocked was Xie Xiaoyan

As Zhang Yong stated, during the period when Xie Xiaoyan was in a relationship with Yun Qingyan, she also accepted the proposal from the royal-level Ye family, which is a blatant betrayal of Yun Qingyan

Why does Xie Xiaoyan feel guilty towards Yun Qingyan? Why does she even want to repay this guilt with her body? It is because Xie Xiaoyan understands in her heart that she has betrayed Yun Qingyan

"We shall go!" The three guards did not dare to defy the capricious Zhang Yong, and immediately joined forces to attack Yun Qingyan

Furthermore, even if his cultivation falls to the fourth level of the Star Realm, when he is unable to resist, it will not be too late for me to take action. This way, even if I cannot gain his favor, I can still make him owe me a favor.

"I heard that during your three years of disappearance, you were imprisoned in a bandit's den on Mount Langya. Tsk tsk, the once greatest talent of Tianyu City, after being held captive for three years, your cultivation has not only stagnated but regressed. The experience must have been quite bitter, right?"

It is no wonder that Zhang Yong was so shocked, as he possesses the cultivation of the Fourth Stage of the Star Realm

What woman does He Yunqingyan not have?

"How is it possible..." Zhang Yong, disregarding the pain throughout his body, wore an expression of disbelief, "Yun Qingyan's cultivation level has fallen to the third stage of the Star Realm, how could I possibly be unable to withstand even a single palm strike from him..."

Yun Qingyan transformed into a phantom, and in the blink of an eye, he had already arrived in front of Zhang Yong, accompanied by a howling heavy palm, striking out with a single blow

Zhang Yong let out a cold snort and similarly struck out with a palm to meet Yun Qingyan's powerful blow.

However, unlike Zhang Yong, who was merely shocked, Xie Xiaoyan immediately deduced a possibility in her mind: "During the three years that Yun Qingyan was imprisoned, although he had no opportunity to cultivate, it does not necessarily mean that his cultivation level would decline; it is very likely that he remained stagnant... or perhaps he has only fallen to the fourth stage of the Star Realm"

"Xie Xiaoyan, are you really foolish or just pretending to be? Do you need me to clearly tell you that I have no interest in your body, not even a little? What you are doing only makes me feel that you are very cheap, and there will be no other outcome. Your guilt is merely your one-sided wishful thinking; I, Yun Qingyan, am living well and do not need any compensation from you"

Even the Empress Chi Yao, one of the Ten Great Immortal Emperors, is deeply infatuated with him

Three years ago, he was also one of Xie Xiaoyan's suitors, but in the end, it was Yun Qingyan who won her heart

As for why Yun Qingyan deliberately reported a low cultivation level, Xie Xiaoyan had already thought of the answer in her mind. It was to facilitate the competition for the position of heir to the Yun family.
