Chapter 13908 How about marrying my brother

Wan Ning frowned, and a blush appeared on her originally fair face due to anger.

Her fingers unconsciously clenched under her skirt, her nails digging deeply into her palms, but she was completely unaware.

She stubbornly retorted: "Cruelness is only a short-lived pain! The fire of civilization in the Demon Sea will eventually illuminate those ignorant places!
Our Demon Sea has advanced systems, powerful technology and rich culture, all of which will bring new vitality and hope to the Dazhen Dynasty.

Although there will be some sacrifices now, it will be worth it in the long run. You can't just see the pain in the present and ignore the beauty in the future."

Her voice was clear but firm, echoing in the silent academy, as if it was a challenge to Ling Xiao and a persistence of her own beliefs.

In an instant, a cold light flashed like a lightning that cut through the sky, passing by at a speed faster than the blink of an eye!

The bloodthirsty knife in Ling Xiao's hand suddenly came out of its sheath like a long-dormant dragon.

On the blade, mysterious runes flickered and flowed, emitting a cold and eerie light under the scorching sun, as if it came from the faint light of the Nine Nether Hell, carrying a terrifying aura.

Everyone only felt a flash before their eyes, and before they could see Ling Xiao's smooth movements, the sharp tip of the knife had already been firmly pressed against Wan Ning's brow.

The tip of the knife flashed with an icy cold light, just a millimeter away from Wan Ning's skin, as if it could pierce her head at any time.

The faces of the students who were watching quietly around them suddenly turned as pale as paper, and their bodies froze in place as if they were cast under a spell.

Immediately afterwards, screams one after another rang out in the arena like thunder, breaking the original tranquility and scaring away the birds that were perched around the arena.

However, only Wan Ning looked calm, like a plum blossom standing proudly in the strong wind.

She looked straight into Ling Xiao's eyes. Her gaze was clear and firm. There was no trace of fear in her eyes. Instead, there was a bit of stubbornness and indomitable spirit, as if she was declaring to Ling Xiao that she would not be intimidated by this little threat.

The corners of Ling Xiao's mouth curled up in a teasing arc, and there was a bit of sarcasm and amusement in that smile.

He pressed his wrist slightly, and the tip of the knife also pressed down slightly, leaving a shallow mark on Wan Ning's snow-white skin, like a dark red plum blossom blooming on the snow.

He said sarcastically, "Miss Wan Ning is so pretty, like a fairy from a painting. Why don't you marry my brother? Although my brother is a little stupid, he has a first-rate talent in martial arts. Given time, he will surely become a powerful man. If you follow him, you will surely enjoy wealth and glory, and never have to worry about food and clothing."

Wan Ning was calm and composed, her posture was as straight as a pine tree, and her tone was as cold as ice, as if no threat in the world could shake her mind: "Brother Ling, what do you mean by this? Although I, Wan Ning, am a woman, I also have my own ambitions and dignity. How could I marry someone casually? Brother Ling, don't you think it's a bit abrupt to say this?"

"Even if you are unwilling and offended at the moment, it doesn't matter. As time goes by, you will know the good of my brother. After all, many things in this world cannot be seen through at the beginning. Cruelty is only temporary, and shamelessness is only superficial, isn't it?"

Ling Xiao smiled, with a hint of cunning in his eyes and a hidden edge in his words. He repeated Wan Ning's previous remarks about launching a war against the Demon Sea exactly as it was, as if telling her that using force or coercion to achieve one's goals is ultimately dishonorable and will not last long.

Wan Ning suddenly realized something and her pretty face flushed red, as beautiful as the peach blossoms in March.

Only then did she realize that Ling Xiao was using her own words to fight back against her.

She opened her mouth but was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to refute. She could only glare at Ling Xiao hatefully, with anger and a hint of helplessness in her eyes.

Ling Xiao slowly put away his sword, his movements graceful and neat.

His expression turned serious, with a bit of compassion and helplessness in his eyes, and he slowly said: "To force one's own will over others is an atrocity that goes against human nature and morality. Everyone has their own choices and dignity, which should not be trampled on by others at will."

After that, he shook his wrist casually and said with a wry smile, "I, Ling Xiao, have fought my way all the way from the Demon Suppression Mansion to here, and I have always relied on strength to speak. In this world where the strong prey on the weak, the strong fist is the hard truth. Speaking of reason is really unfamiliar to me. Ten sentences of reason are not as good as the edge of a knife. In this cruel reality, only strength can truly convince people."

After saying this, he slowly turned his head and looked at Shangguan Yue, who had been watching the battle quietly on the side, with a sharp gaze.

He raised his eyebrows slightly, with a hint of uninhibitedness and carefreeness in his brows, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a slightly teasing smile, and asked: "Miss Shangguan, the truth has been explained, and the dispute in the arena has come to an end for the time being. Can you take me somewhere else to have a look? There must be many good places worth visiting in Qiwang Mountain."

Shangguan Yue nodded slightly, her movements graceful and calm, like an orchid swaying gently in the breeze.

Her sleeves fluttered, as if she had an otherworldly aura, and she responded softly, "Brother Ling, please follow me."

The two had just taken a step and were about to walk out of the arena when a black shadow suddenly appeared like a ghost.

The black shadow was extremely fast, like a cheetah ready to pounce, and instantly appeared in front of Ling Xiao.

When everyone looked closely, they found that it was a burly man. He stood in front of Ling Xiao like a small mountain, emitting a fierce aura.

His eyes were fierce, like two sharp blades, stabbing straight at Ling Xiao. The axe at his waist was vibrating slightly due to the excitement of its owner, making a "buzzing" sound, as if it was also excited for the upcoming battle.

He shouted loudly, his voice exploding like thunder in the arena: "I challenge you!"

Wan Ning stood aside and did not stop it, just watched it all calmly.

Her eyes were calm, as if she had expected all this, or perhaps she also wanted to see how Ling Xiao would deal with this sudden challenge.

Niu Yongshi and Shangguan Yue didn't say anything. They just stood there quietly, staring at Ling Xiao and the burly man.

They all felt that Ling Xiao was a little too arrogant. It would be a good thing for someone to come and teach Ling Xiao a lesson. Otherwise, this person would really take himself seriously and might become even more unscrupulous in the future.

The sturdy man received the tacit approval of everyone, and he felt as if he had obtained an imperial sword, and his momentum became even stronger.

He stared at Ling Xiao intently, the muscles on his face twitching slightly with anger, and with a provocative look on his face, he shouted loudly: "Do you dare to accept it? Don't be like a turtle!"

Ling Xiao looked indifferent, as if everything in front of him had nothing to do with him.

He crossed his arms in front of his chest, his eyes revealing a hint of disdain and mockery, and raised his eyebrows to ask: "Reason? You have to give me a reason to accept your challenge. I can't fight you for no reason."
