Everyone was pessimistic about Lin Yifan, believing Lin Yifan was doomed.
After the storm had passed, Xiaofang wanted to reply but Lin Yifan preempted her.
"It was me!"
One person's actions, one person's responsibility. He didn't want to implicate others, especially the people he loved the most.
Xiaofang didn't understand why Lin Yifan would step forward at this critical moment. Didn't he know this could bring disaster upon himself?
But after giving it some thought, she came to understand. Lin Yifan did this, probably because he didn't want to involve them.
Yet, they were all in the same boat; how could they abandon him?
So, she gripped Lin Yifan's hand tighter, letting Lin Yifan feel the most sincere sense of security.
Lin Yifan felt this strength. With this power, he wasn't afraid of anything or anyone he faced.
"Fine! Since you, you bastard, have admitted it, then today I shall send you on your way."
Having spoken, Tian Hongguang's fists were charged with power, ready to strike and kill Lin Yifan, the weak cultivator.
However, just as he was about to make his move, Xiaofang called out to him, "Wait!"
"What now? Do you want to fight in his place?" Tian Hongguang asked curiously.
Just now, he had sensed the young lady's realm had reached the Divine Transformation Third Realm. For her age, such an achievement was quite remarkable, so he thought she might be someone of consequence.
But no matter her background, nothing would stop him from killing that damn scoundrel today.
"This humble girl knows she can't match Clan Leader Tian's strength, so I won't confront you directly," Xiaofang replied.
"Then why do you speak up to stop me?" Tian Hongguang asked.
Xiaofang's lips slightly curled up as she pulled a token out of her clothing, and asked, "I wonder if Clan Leader Tian can recognize the token this young woman holds in her hand?"
When the token was displayed, all the experts from the Tian Family and the Lushan Sect were shocked, because Xiaofang was holding the most authoritative token in the Cultivation World. Whoever saw this token had to give it respect.
On the balcony, the group of youths was also startled, as some recognized whose token it was.
"This... this couldn't be the legendary Medicine Saint Order, could it?" Lu Qiu, the young pavilion master, asked in shock. It was simply inconceivable.
He thought such a token could only be glimpsed in the Cultivation World, little did he know he would see it on a public street, which felt somewhat unreal.
However, he knew Lin Yifan might be an alchemist, so it was very likely Lin Yifan was a disciple of Medicinal Saint Valley; and coupled with Lin Yifan's martial arts, he was even more convinced.
The martial arts of Medicinal Saint Valley mostly originated from different Sects, which also explained why Lin Yifan possessed so many different Sects' martial arts.
"The Medicine Saint Order! Are you talking about the legendary Token that can command the assistance of all the major Cultivation Sects around the world?" someone asked out of curiosity.
They were utterly astonished.
This token belonged to Bright True Master, the Valley Master of Medicinal Saint Valley. Only Bright True Master's direct disciples or those closest to him could possess it. This meant Xiaofang had a very close relationship with Bright True Master, and might even be his proudest disciple.
Offending such a person would lead to endless troubles because Bright True Master would not stand idly by.
Tian Hongguang was well aware of this relationship, which was why he didn't respond for a long time.
Seeing this situation, Tian Wenna was somewhat puzzled and challenged, "Father, why be afraid to kill these two bastards? Is it just because of a token?"
"Na'er, you don't understand, this token is not just any ordinary token. It's the most influential and intimidating token in the Cultivation World, and no one dares to disrespect it," replied Tian Wenna's father.
"So what do we do now? Is my revenge not to be avenged? Do the humiliations I've suffered not need to be repaid by those two bastards?" Tian Wenna questioned, her heart filled with unbearable resentment.
"Na'er, your revenge must be avenged!" Tian Hongguang declared fiercely.
He loved his daughter the most, so seeing her suffer such humiliation, as a father, he had to seek justice for her and punish the enemy severely.
"I knew my father would treat me the best," Tian Wenna said happily.
Finally, someone in the family stepped forward to speak for her, which made her feel not so despairing.
After placating his daughter, Tian Hongguang turned to Xiaofang with skepticism, "Don't think that I'd be afraid of you just because you pull out a fake Medicine Saint Order, even if the Medicine Saint himself were here, I wouldn't be afraid!"
"Is that so? I'm afraid that if my master came here, you wouldn't even be able to stand steadily, believe it or not?" Xiaofang retorted with a mocking sneer.
"I don't believe it! I am the strongest!" Tian Hongguang declared arrogantly.
"Hah, what a joke. Even the Sect Leader of Lushan Sect behind you wouldn't dare to say such things in front of my master, where do you get your confidence?" Xiaofang taunted mercilessly.
The Tian Family was so arrogant simply because they had a backer standing behind them. Without that backer, they were nothing.
"They are them, I am me; I am different from them!" Tian Hongguang responded.
"Indeed, you really are different. Because you are nothing more than their dog in the Secular World, what do you have to boast about here?" Xiaofang challenged mockingly.
"Exactly, you're just a dog, what standing do you have to show off in front of us from the Lushan Sect?" thought the cultivators of Lushan Sect with contempt.
However, to keep this 'dog' making money for them, they chose to keep silent.
"What did you say? Say it again if you dare!" Tian Hongguang bellowed angrily.
He truly could not swallow this insult; say anything you want about him, just don't call him a dog, for he loathed that label!
Elsewhere, the group of young people on the balcony was deeply wounded by Xiaofang's words, as they too were serving Cultivation Sects for their families. Her words directed at Tian Hongguang were, in essence, an insult to their families as well, which was unforgivable.
But what if it's unforgivable? The truth is the truth, and you cannot deny it.
"I said you are just a dog the Lushan Sect keeps outside to make money—nothing more!" Xiaofang stated bluntly, without a trace of fear.
With the token in hand, no one could harm her.
"You... I'm going to kill you!"
Finished speaking, Tian Hongguang, overflowing with rage, launched himself at Xiaofang to attack.
Seeing this, Lin Yifan wanted to step in to defend, but was firmly held back by Xiaofang.
This wasn't the time to play the hero; they had to take this seriously.
After pulling Lin Yifan back, Xiaofang focused intently on Tian Hongguang, carefully observing his direction of attack.
The next moment, as Tian Hongguang, filled with endless fury, aimed a punch at her head, she immediately raised the token, shielding her head.
