Where they couldn't see, the Love-Stricken Tree underwent a subtle change, already tying the fates of the two together.
After Churi Huaizhu made her wish in front of the Love-Stricken Tree, she slowly opened her eyes. Looking at the huge Love-Stricken Tree in front of her, her last wish was fulfilled. She just didn't know what the final outcome would be.
Churi Huaizhu slowly stood up with the support of Wangquan Baoye. The tears on her face couldn't stay and began to fall in a rush.
"Huaizhu, why are you still crying..." Wangquan Baoye started to wipe away Churi Huaizhu's tears. The tear-stained face made his heart melt.
"Don't cry anymore. You'll be less beautiful if you keep crying. Look, we've made our wishes to the Love-Stricken Tree so sincerely. It must have heard our heartfelt voices, right?" Wangquan Baoye reached out and embraced Churi Huaizhu in his arms.
Churi Huaizhu felt warm and at ease in his arms. She nodded and said, "The Love-Stricken Tree will surely help us continue our previous bond!"
The two embraced under the tree. Petals were floating down from the Love-Stricken Tree, making this couple look extremely romantic in such an environment.
Suddenly, a man in a yellow Taoist robe flew across the sky and snatched the hairpin from Churi Huaizhu's hand.
The two separated and saw clearly who was in front of them. It was Jin Renfeng. His appearance was a bit haggard, not like his original self. The wrinkles on his face were clearly visible, and even his movements were much slower than before, as if he had suddenly aged ten years.
"You two actually dare to come here? Still dreaming of continuing your previous bond? It's simply a pipe dream!" Jin Renfeng's tone was harsh and venomous, leaving no room for Churi Huaizhu at all.
"Jin Renfeng, you betrayed your master and wiped out your clan! You still have the nerve to come and see us. Look at your current state. You're getting your just deserts! Besides, our business has nothing to do with you!" Churi Huaizhu held her breath. Seeing her father's murderer, her anger soared. She wished she could tear him to pieces.
Jin Renfeng was floating in the air. Seeing the two of them together, he felt even more uncomfortable in his heart. It was all because of Wangquan Baoye who had ruined his good deed back then. Otherwise, he wouldn't have ended up in such a situation.
"Junior sister, you're being too harsh when you say that! I'm your senior brother. Of course, I have to come and see you! Besides, Master also hoped that I would inherit the bloodline of the Dongfang family. It was his last wish before he died. Hahaha!"
Churi Huaizhu was infuriated by Jin Renfeng's words: "Jin Renfeng, you're distorting the truth and can't tell right from wrong. Who's your junior sister? There's no such person like you in our Dongfang family! Our temple is too small to accommodate you, a great Buddha!"
Jin Renfeng looked at the hairpin in his hand and examined it carefully.
"Junior sister, junior sister. Since you were unwilling to be with me back then, you won't be able to be with others now! Still dreaming of continuing your previous bond? It's just a dream! I'll make sure your Dongfang family has no descendants!" Jin Renfeng said fiercely.
Then, Jin Renfeng flew towards Churi Huaizhu. The sharp tip of the hairpin was about to touch Churi Huaizhu.
Wangquan Baoye reached out and snatched it away, then started to fight with Jin Renfeng, protecting Churi Huaizhu tightly behind him.
"Wangquan Baoye, it seems your strength has declined a lot! With your current state, do you think you can stop my attacks?" Jin Renfeng gritted his teeth as he spoke. His hatred for Wangquan Baoye went deep into his bones.
"Whether I can stop them or not is up to me." Wangquan Baoye drew out the Wangquan Sword from behind and started to fight desperately with Jin Renfeng.
Jin Renfeng didn't show any mercy. He used all his strength and even unleashed his few remaining Dongfang Divine Fires. Wangquan Baoye swung his sword and split the divine fire in two.
Jin Renfeng wanted to harm Churi Huaizhu again. While Wangquan Baoye was dodging, he took advantage of the gap on the side and struck a palm towards Churi Huaizhu.
Wangquan Baoye saw his wife behind him and took the palm for her forcefully.
"Huaizhu, you should leave quickly now." Wangquan Baoye desperately resisted Jin Renfeng's attacks, leaving time for Churi Huaizhu to escape.
"Husband, you..." Churi Huaizhu held her belly, afraid that the baby would be hurt. But she was also worried that Wangquan Baoye couldn't withstand the current Jin Renfeng. After all, he had absorbed her father's bloodline, and Wangquan Baoye had suffered such a blow...
"Go! For the sake of our child, you must go!" Wangquan Baoye roared, desperately urging Churi Huaizhu to leave.
Churi Huaizhu saw Wangquan Baoye's state and thought of the unborn child in her belly. She turned around and ran. Only by escaping could she allow Wangquan Baoye to face this fight seriously without any weakness.
Churi Huaizhu ran while crying. Her tears were dried by the wind. She could only run forward desperately, not daring to look back. Only by getting through all this could there be hope. Who would have thought that such a good chance to continue their bond would be disrupted by Jin Renfeng...
Churi Huaizhu ran for a long time. When she found a safe place, she immediately took out the unique distress signal tool of the Wangquan family and sent it into the sky.
In the Wangquan Manor far away, many elders saw the distress signal belonging to the Wangquan family in the distant sky. They began to worry.
The four great protectors of the Wangquan Manor saw such a signal and immediately flew on their swords without any delay.
Churi Huaizhu anxiously waited in place for the saviors to come. She tightly clenched her hands. Suddenly, she saw several people flying from the southwest. She looked closely and they were the people she was waiting for! She waved to them.
"Look! The madam is over there!" The four great protectors flew down towards Churi Huaizhu.
"Go and help him quickly! He's fighting with Jin Renfeng over there!" Churi Huaizhu pointed in the direction behind her and said anxiously.
The four great protectors knew that Wangquan Baoye was holding the Wangquan Sword and fighting against Jin Renfeng. They flew in the direction Churi Huaizhu pointed. Before leaving, they glanced at Churi Huaizhu on the ground and said, "Madam, please stay here."
Jin Renfeng and Wangquan Baoye were concentrating on the fight and didn't notice the people flying in the sky.
Wangquan Baoye made a side slash and saw the arrival of the four great protectors. In front of the Wangquan Sword, they were always sword slaves, standing on the side of the Wangquan family and would never betray.
This flash made Jin Renfeng notice the arrival of the four great protectors. He panicked in his heart.
Wangquan Baoye noticed that although Jin Renfeng's ability was many times stronger than before, his body had also changed greatly. Aging so much in just half a year, he must have suffered a backlash. He surely couldn't hold on for long.
Wangquan Baoye started to use all his strength, wanting to defeat Jin Renfeng here so that he would no longer have the ability to harass Huaizhu.
In front of the Heaven and Earth Sword Strike, what couldn't be split? However, in front of Wangquan Baoye who had lost his sword heart, the power of his Wangquan Sword was far less than before. He stabbed out a sword forcefully, but Jin Renfeng dodged it.
