Chapter 70: line with translation of chapter title

They knew Du Li was in the Su Family of Nan Cheng, together with the Su family young lady, as her bodyguard.

Actually, they understood even more clearly that Du Li was merely grateful that the Su family young lady had once helped her, so she came to protect her.

As a martial artist, facing ordinary people, one is lofty and superior.

Even if the other party is an aristocratic family among ordinary people, it is the same.

They came to the Su Family, quite overbearing, directly ordering Du Li to come out and receive them.

The guard felt some doubt, but still said, "We'll go announce."

Just then, Du Ziteng said, "These are Du Li's parents; I'm her brother. What announcement is needed? Move aside, we're going straight in."

The guard's expression changed, and he immediately stepped in front of Du Ziteng and them.

"Not allowed. Please don't cause trouble, otherwise I'll call the Enforcement Bureau."

"Get lost."

Du Ziteng said coldly.

He shoved the guard aside with one hand, sending him rolling several meters on the ground, unable to get up from the pain.

Du Ziteng sneered, full of contempt, saying, "I told you not to block us, yet you still won't obey—you're practically asking for death."

The guard, gritting his teeth against the pain, shouted loudly, "This is the Su Family; if you cause trouble, our Su Zong won't let you off—no one in Nan Cheng dares provoke our Su Zong."

"Is that Su Nuan Yue? She's just an ordinary person; in our eyes she's no different from an ant, easily crushed with a flick."

Du Ziteng sneered.

Seeing him say that, the guard found it hard to believe.

It's unbelievable that someone would not even regard the Su Family.

Just then, a cold voice sounded.

"What are you doing?"

Du Li walked out of the villa, her expression grim.

Seeing Du Li come out, Du Heng smiled and said, "Little Li, you've finally come out; Mom and Dad and your brother came especially to find you. The previous matter was our fault; please don't hold it against Mom and Dad—they were just momentarily anxious, but they still love you in their hearts."

"What exactly do you want to say?"

Du Li asked coldly.

She knew this family all too well; upon realizing she was not of Du Family blood, she instead felt relieved.

For Du Li, being able to avoid contact with Du Heng and them in the future would actually be something to celebrate—indeed.

Du Heng then said, "That's right; we only have your brother as our own flesh and blood. I hope you can, for Mom and Dad's sake, tell your man to let little Teng join Place: Baiyun Guan. Of course, we will treat you well from now on, and you will still be our Du Family's little princess."

"Finished speaking?"

Du Li said coldly.

The two stared for a moment, then nodded.

"Now that you've spoken, you may leave; we have no further relation, please don't come bother me again."

Du Li's expression was icy, unmoved.

Du Heng and his wife, who had been smiling, now had their faces sink.

"Vile wretch, giving you face or not—do you agree or not?" Du Ziteng rushed forward and slapped Du Li's face.

Du Li sneered and slapped back at the same time.

Pa.

Du Ziteng covered his face and stumbled backward.

He found it hard to believe.

He himself, a prodigy since youth, had already advanced to first-rate martial artist.

Compared to Du Li, his strength was not lacking in the slightest.

Just now he struck first, yet Du Li reacted faster and struck back, which he found hard to accept.

Could it be that Du Li's strength actually surpasses his?

Du Li said coldly, "I've said it before—I now have no relation with the Du Family; if you dare lay hands on me again, don't blame me for being impolite."

Saying this, Du Li's gaze fell on Du Ziteng's face; she sneered, "What's so hard to believe? Where does your strength come from? Don't you yourself know it's only because your parents poured vast resources into boosting your power? With your stupidity, how could you possibly enter the ranks of first-rate martial artists, yet you still act like someone important."

Du Ziteng's breathing instantly grew ragged, his face flushed as he glared at Du Li and roared, "You're spouting nonsense."

Du Li snorted, expression disdainful, saying, "I'm spouting nonsense? If you don't believe me, ask your own parents whether I'm spouting nonsense."

Du Ziteng turned in disbelief, looking at his parents.

Du Heng's eyes flickered.

On the contrary, He Wen immediately said, "Little Teng, don't listen to that wretch; she's spouting nonsense. If your aptitude weren't poor, how could Place: Baiyun Guan have taken you? If it weren't for that wretch, you'd already be a disciple of Place: Baiyun Guan."

Hearing his mother say that, Du Ziteng finally felt relieved.

"Enough, stop wasting words with her. Husband, seize this woman; if she refuses to help, cripple her martial arts and ruin her appearance—I'd like to see whether, by then, Place: Baiyun Guan's Senior Brother still likes her."

Upon hearing that, Du Li's face filled with disbelief.

She knew they disliked her, but never expected He Wen to be so vicious.

She actually wanted to destroy herself.

Whether it's crippling her martial arts or disfiguring her face, for Du Li both are unbearable.

Du Li then gave a bitter smile and said, "I still thought too highly of you; you are far more lacking in scruples than I imagined."

Having said that, Du Li's gaze turned cold.

She made her final decision.

Since they want to harm me, I will thoroughly sever any thoughts of them.

Thinking this, Du Li said coldly, "I have already cut ties with you; from now on we have nothing to do with each other—if you dare lay hands on me, don't blame me for being impolite."

"Heh heh, you lowly person, I know your talent is strong, but you are ultimately too young; you are only at the level of a first-rate martial artist's Jìngjiè, how dare you act rudely before this grandmaster?"

Du Heng snorted coldly.

He walked toward Du Li.

Du Li gave him a cold glance, she coldly said: 'I have entered the Land Immortal realm.'

Du Heng seemed to have heard the funniest joke in the world.

His expression showed disdain, he was about to speak.

At that moment, Du Li made a grasping motion in the air; an invisible force seized Du Heng and then threw him away.

"What?"

"External release of vigorous qi, this is the innate realm."

Du Heng fell to the ground, he spat out a mouthful of Xiānxiě, his face full of disbelief.

Could it be that Du Li has truly advanced to the Land Immortal realm?

Otherwise, how could she possibly control the release of such vigorous qi with such ease, making the heavy seem light?

"You still don't believe?"

Du Li said coldly.

"How is that possible? How could you enter the innate realm, even your father hasn't stepped into this realm." Du Ziteng said in disbelief.

At that moment, his pupils contracted sharply, and he saw the appearance of a person.
