...

Deep within the great mountain, a peak towered into the clouds, with a cascading waterfall plunging three thousand miles, as if it fell directly from the ninth heaven to the mortal world.

Below this waterfall, there was a shimmering pool, surrounded by lush greenery and vibrant flowers, a truly seductive scene.

Hidden beneath the waterfall, there was a natural passageway leading to a relatively concealed cave, akin to the Water Curtain Cave in its presence. This was Tang Xin's favorite place, where she often came to clear her mind.

But at this moment, this cave had been taken over by others.

"Sister Tang Xin, as a clever woman, you must also know how to make the right choice. Brother Tang Nan, in terms of status, position, and strength, is one of the best among our peers. Such a heroic figure is your most suitable match..."

Tang Wei played the role of a flatterer perfectly, much like the fat translator who persuaded opponents to surrender for the enemy during the resistance, a complete sycophantic and traitorous appearance. Even when trying to coax Tang Xin, he never forgot to fawn over his master Tang Nan.

Tang Xin's gaze was icy cold, silent as she waited for Tang Wei, her eyes as though she wished to completely freeze him to death. Of course, her look towards Tang Nan was even colder.

"To tell you the truth, if I were a woman and encountered a heroic figure like Brother Tang Nan, I would have surely given myself to him willingly long ago. Why would you be so reticent?"

Tang Wei seemed to know that Tang Xin would not be easily persuaded and continued to ramble, his tone growing slightly more forceful.

"Then you go ahead..."

But as soon as he uttered this sentence, Tang Xin, who had been silent all along, unexpectedly countered with such a remark... Instantly freezing the smile on his face, turning it into an extremely ugly contortion.

He was indeed a lackey, but what he sold was his dignity, not his body... In his view, the body was worth much more than dignity. He had no immediate desire for his tenderness to be explored.

"Brother..."

Stopped short by Tang Xin's remark, Tang Wei couldn't continue his spiel and could only look at his master Tang Nan with a face full of helplessness.

Clearly, the soft approach was not going to work. Tang Xin was completely impervious to this tactic.

"Tang Xin, you should understand that I really like you very much. As long as you agree to marry me, I will make you the happiest woman in the world..."

Tang Nan glared at Tang Wei fiercely, almost on the verge of calling him a waste. Nevertheless, he walked up to Tang Xin and spoke with a very gentle tone, just as he did when confronting Qin Fang, the modest gentleman.

"Over my dead body!"

Tang Xin had long seen through the facade of the seemingly righteous Tang Nan. Before, they had nothing to do with each other, and she didn't want to provoke trouble. But now that both were at the age of marriage, Tang Nan suddenly launched an aggressive offensive, catching her completely off guard.

Perhaps Tang Nan really liked her, Tang Xin, but she could never fancy such a hypocritical man. Not to mention this spineless person was now resorting to force, which only reinforced her previous convictions.

"Tang Xin, I'll give you one more chance. As long as you agree to this marriage, I will forgive the past matters and treat you well..."

Tang Nan's expression turned dark and terrifying. His hands clenched into fists, veins popping on his arms. It seemed he was on the verge of erupting but was still trying his best to contain himself.

Taking a deep breath, he forcibly held back his anger and asked again, his eyes becoming sharper, as if this was truly the last chance.

"Hmph!"

But clearly, Tang Xin was not going to give him such an opportunity. She would rather die than marry a hypocritical pretender like Tang Nan. She didn't even bother with words and expressed her decision with a cold snort.

"Unappreciative..."

Tang Nan burst into rage, scolding loudly, "Tang Wei, Tang Zhan, do it... Since this woman is unappreciative, then I will make her understand properly..."

Seeing that his gentle approach had utterly failed, Tang Nan completely ripped off his mask of deception, revealing his horrendous true face, and immediately ordered Tang Wei and Tang Zhan, who were beside him.

As Tang Nan's number one bootlicker, Tang Wei naturally didn't hesitate, lunging forward with a fist aimed at Tang Xin.

Tang Zhan was the strongest amongst them, several levels above Tang Xin. Although he wasn't as blatantly obsequious as Tang Wei, he quickly closed in for the attack.

Tang Xin's expression shifted slightly. Although she anticipated this turn of events, she didn't expect that Tang Nan would be such a complete hypocrite, shedding his last disguise and making a move right here.

"I would rather die than let you succeed..."

If it were only Tang Nan and Tang Wei, Tang Xin believed she had the power to fight, or at least to protect herself to some extent. But with Tang Zhan present, unless she could immediately break through to the Grandmaster Level, she had no chance of escaping the current predicament.

Unable to go down fighting, Tang Xin could only choose a quick death. Her short sword drawn, she attempted to end her own life...
