It was the next morning when they arrived at Zhaoma Town.
"Liu Yiming, go in and lure Xu Lingfeng out. We'll wait for you outside," Lin Long said to Liu Yiming.
With his powerful divine sense, he did not sense any experts in the Liu Family. He was not worried that Liu Yiming would run away, so he let Liu Yiming go in alone.
After all, it was broad daylight. If he went in with Xu Lingfeng, he would have to capture her.
"Yes, Young Master Lin," Liu Yiming said and walked into the Liu Family's courtyard.
Liu Yiming often came to the Xu Family's residence. The guards were very familiar with him, so they did not stop him.
With great familiarity, Liu Yiming arrived outside Xu Lingfeng's chamber.
"Lingfeng, Lingfeng …" Liu Yiming called softly.
"Kacha."
The window of Xu Lingfeng's room opened. Seeing Liu Yiming, Xu Lingfeng frowned and said, "Liu Yiming, you're finally here."
Liu Yiming said awkwardly, "Lingfeng, something happened, so I'm late."
"Did you bring the last volume?" Xu Lingfeng asked immediately.
"Yes," Liu Yiming replied.
"Then take it out quickly." Xu Lingfeng could not help but smile.
"But, I didn't bring it in. I left it outside," Liu Yiming said with a troubled expression.
"What's wrong with you? Why didn't you bring it in?" Xu Lingfeng frowned and scolded.
"On the way here, I accidentally dropped the book on the ground. It was stained with some mud, so I wiped it with water. Now, I am putting it in a hidden place to dry … You know, I don't want you to see dirty things," Liu Yiming said.
"Really, that's the secret book of your Liu Family. How could you leave it like that? What if someone else took it? Take me there quickly," Xu Lingfeng said quickly.
Liu Yiming was usually very good to her. Just like Xu Yiming said, he did not want her to see dirty things. So, she did not expect Liu Yiming to lie to her.
"Then follow me," Liu Yiming said.
Xu Lingfeng hurriedly came out of her room and followed behind Liu Yiming.
"Miss, where are you going?" a guard asked when they left the door.
"I'm going out to get something," Xu Lingfeng said casually.
The guard did not suspect anything and allowed Xu Lingfeng to leave.
Not long after, Xu Lingfeng followed Liu Yiming to a tree in the back mountain of the Xu Family. This was the path that Liu Yiming had to pass to get to the Xu Family.
After arriving here, Liu Yiming stopped.
"Liu Yiming, where's the book?" As soon as she arrived, Xu Lingfeng immediately looked around, but she was unable to find the book.
"Are you lying to me?" Thinking of something, Xu Lingfeng immediately became vigilant.
"That's right, he lied to you!" At this moment, a person suddenly walked out from behind the tree. It was Lin Long.
After that, Liu Dong also walked over from a nearby tree.
"What are you doing?" Xu Lingfeng couldn't help asking.
Then, she looked at Liu Yiming and said in surprise, "Liu Yiming, I didn't expect you to lie to me!"
Looking at her appearance, she never thought that Liu Yiming would lie to her.
"Lingfeng, I was forced to do this." Liu Yiming said with a bitter expression.
"Then what do you want?" Xu Lingfeng frowned.
"We don't want anything. We just want you to hand over the three books that Liu Yiming gave you." Lin Long said directly.
"Those books were given to me by Liu Yiming. Why would I give them to you?" Xu Lingfeng sneered.
After that, she looked at Liu Yiming and said, "Liu Yiming, you still owe me one last book!"
Liu Yiming said with a bitter expression, "Lingfeng, I'm sorry. I can't do it."
"Can't do it? If you can't do it, then go to hell! "Xu Lingfeng said angrily.
Listening to their words, Liu Dong was also angry. He was angry that Liu Yiming didn't strive for it and was bewitched by a woman.
He coldly said to Liu Yiming, "Yiming, you are a dignified man, yet you are being bossed around by a woman. What a scandal, not to mention this secret manual originally belongs to our Liu family, not her Xu family!"
"Uncle Liu, Liu Yiming said that he would give it to me. Why do you care so much?" Xu Lingfeng couldn't help but say.
"I say, Xu Lingfeng, it seems that you still don't understand the situation? Right now, we are the ones who want those books back from you. We don't owe you anything! "Liu Dong coldly said.
"Liu Yiming has already given it to me. How can you ask for it back?" Xu Lingfeng rolled her eyes at Liu Dong.
"You …" Liu Dong was so angry that he raised his hand.
"If it wasn't for the fact that your father and I are familiar with each other, I would have already struck him with my palm!" Liu Dong angrily said.
While Liu Dong was angry, a figure flashed. Linlong had already arrived at Xu Lingfeng's side. Xu Lingfeng couldn't help but cry out in alarm.
However, she didn't even have the chance to make a sound. Linlong's palm had already slapped her on the back. At that moment, she couldn't even speak.
She wanted to struggle, but with her weak strength, how could she be Linlong's opponent? She was directly restrained by Linlong.
"Liu Yiming, what are you doing? Why aren't you saving me?" Xu Lingfeng couldn't help but look at Liu Yiming.
It was as if Liu Yiming saving her was a matter of course.
"I …" Liu Yiming smiled bitterly.
"Woman, our Yiming doesn't owe you anything in the future!" Liu Dong couldn't help but angrily say.
"Xu Lingfeng, hurry up and take out those three books!" Linlong coldly said as he looked at the slightly good-looking Xu Lingfeng.
"Liu Yiming has already given that book to me. It's already mine. How can I give it back to you?" Xu Lingfeng said again.
"Is that so?" Linlong sneered. Then, he directly placed a restriction on Xu Lingfeng's body.
After suffering for a while, Xu Lingfeng directly gave in. She opened her mouth and said, "Those three books aren't on me."
"If they aren't on you, then where are they?" Linlong said in a deep voice.
He already had this kind of suspicion. Unfortunately, he guessed correctly.
"I have already given them to Young Master Wade of Tai Qingcheng." Xu Lingfeng said.
Hearing Xu Lingfeng's words, Liu Yiming couldn't help but shout, "Lingfeng, didn't I say that you can't give them to Wade? Why did you give them to him?"
"The books are already mine. Why do you care who I give them to?" Xu Lingfeng frowned.
"You …" Liu Yiming didn't know what to say for a moment.
At this moment, how could Linlong not see the relationship between them? Liu Yiming liked Xu Lingfeng, but Xu Lingfeng didn't like him. Instead, she liked Wade. She even gave the Liu Family's secret manual that Liu Yiming had stolen to Wade.
"Who is Wade?" Linlong asked.
"Wade is the son of Tai Qingcheng's city lord." Xu Lingfeng replied.
"When did you give it to him?" Linlong asked.
"For three consecutive months, I gave him one every month." Xu Lingfeng said.
At this moment, Liu Yiming unwillingly said, "Lingfeng, are you still in love with Wade? Have you never changed? Were you just lying to me before?"
"That's right. I like Wade. I was lying to you before." Xu Lingfeng was rather unperturbed as she directly said.
Liu Yiming couldn't help but shout, "Lingfeng, what's wrong with me? I even risked my life to steal the family's secret manual for you. Why don't you like me, but Wade? More importantly, Wade doesn't like you at all. He likes another member of the Demon Clan."
Liu Yiming couldn't help but shout, "Lingfeng, what's wrong with me? I even risked my life to steal the family's secret manual for you. Why do you still like Wade instead of me? More importantly, Wade doesn't like you at all. He likes another member of the Demon Clan."
"Father …" Liu Yiming cried out with incomparable grievance.
Linlong was expressionless as he watched this scene. He had seen such things many times in this world.
Normally, he wouldn't care about such things. But today, he felt that he had to make Liu Yiming face reality.
However, before that, Linlong first asked about the three books. Soon after, he asked, "Xu Lingfeng, are the three books still in Wade's hands? Did he ask about them?"
"I don't know if the three books are in Wade's hands. He did ask about them and said that they weren't complete and that he couldn't cultivate them. When I said that there was still one more book, he urged me to get the last one as soon as possible." Xu Lingfeng replied.
Knowing that he wouldn't be able to get any more information, Linlong immediately said to Xu Lingfeng, "Xu Lingfeng, I'll give you two choices. One is to marry Liu Yiming, and the other is to cripple your cultivation. After that, you can go look for Wade."
"Can I really choose this? Won't you make things difficult for me?" Xu Lingfeng couldn't help but look at Linlong.
"No, I'll keep my word. Even they can't change it." Linlong calmly replied.
"Okay, then I choose." With that, Xu Lingfeng glanced at Liu Yiming on the opposite side.
At this moment, Liu Yiming was extremely nervous. However, he felt that Xu Lingfeng would definitely choose to marry him. After all, as a cultivator, how could she choose to cripple her cultivation?
After glancing at Liu Yiming, Xu Lingfeng unhurriedly said, "I choose the second option. Cripple my cultivation."
"What?" Hearing Xu Lingfeng's words, Liu Yiming couldn't help but widen his eyes in shock. He didn't expect Xu Lingfeng to actually make such a choice.
Even Liu Dong felt that it was somewhat inconceivable.
"Alright." Linlong immediately nodded.
After being stunned for a moment, Liu Yiming couldn't help but look at Xu Lingfeng and yell, "Lingfeng, why would you rather cripple your cultivation than choose me?"
"Because I don't like you. I like Wade!" Xu Lingfeng resolutely said.
Hearing Xu Lingfeng's words, Liu Yiming was completely disheartened and directly sat on the ground.
Even though Xu Lingfeng was in front of him, she ignored him.
At this moment, Liu Yiming could clearly see that Xu Lingfeng didn't have him in her heart.
"Young master Lin, please save Yiming." Seeing Liu Yiming's completely disheartened appearance, Liu Dong couldn't help but plead to Linlong.
Linlong immediately shook his head. "This is his own matter. No one can help him."
Then, Linlong looked at Xu Lingfeng and said, "Xu Lingfeng, I am a man of my word. However, I won't let you leave just like that. You can only regain your freedom after I get those three books. Do you understand?"
"I understand." Xu Lingfeng immediately said.
The reason why Linlong did this wasn't to help Xu Lingfeng, but to let Liu Yiming see the fact that some things couldn't be obtained no matter how much effort he put in. Choosing the right time to retreat was the right path.
Of course, whether Liu Yiming could walk out of this situation depended on himself.
"Alright, Liu Family Head, let's go back and settle your Liu Family's matter first." Linlong said.
Then, he directly brought the few of them to the location of the cave.
