"Senior, you flatter me. These are just minor tricks!"
Lin Xuan politely clasped his fist with the sword in hand. The Tomb Master couldn't help but smile at this sight. He turned his head to look at Ling Qingzhu beside him, sizing her up before speaking.
"Such a stunning beauty is rare even in my long life. What, you're still not satisfied, kid?"
Ling Qingzhu, who had already sensed something was off, looked even more displeased upon hearing the Tomb Master's words, her eyes fixed on Lin Xuan and the Tomb Master with a hint of hostility.
Lin Xuan ignored Ling Qingzhu and simply shook his head at the Tomb Master, softly saying, "It is neither my wish nor my desire."
"What if I insist on bringing you two together?"
The Tomb Master's face lit up with a smile upon hearing this. He sized up Lin Xuan, then looked at Ling Qingzhu, his smile growing wider as he gazed at the perfectly matched couple.
Ling Qingzhu's pupils constricted instantly upon hearing the Tomb Master's words. The next moment, a clear light shot out from the Ancient Azure Sky Lotus beneath her feet, heading straight for the Tomb Master.
"Whoosh!"
However, when the clear light reached the Tomb Master, he simply broke it with a light tap of his finger.
Although that finger blocked Ling Qingzhu's attack, the Tomb Master's Stone Coffin was directly blasted apart by the resulting energy ripple.
"You're quite fierce, young lady. I only wanted to create a beautiful union before I dissipate. It's fine if this kid is unwilling, but at least he's being polite. Yet you directly destroyed my coffin and scattered my remains. You're truly unreasonable. No wonder this kid is unwilling."
The Tomb Master shook his head and sighed softly as he looked at the shattered Stone Coffin and bones.
Lin Xuan hesitated for a moment before cupping his fist and explaining, "Senior, you misunderstand. Lin Xuan has no interest in matters of the heart, and Miss Ling's beauty is far beyond my reach. Therefore, I hope senior will show mercy."
"Hmph!"
However, Ling Qingzhu snorted coldly upon hearing this, not giving Lin Xuan a kind look either. Of course, she didn't attack Lin Xuan, as this was ultimately the Tomb Master's intention.
The Tomb Master looked at the sincere Lin Xuan and sighed softly, looking at Lin Xuan earnestly and asking, "Are you really unwilling, kid? Although this woman has a terrible temper and her talent doesn't match yours, her background is decent and she's a good match for you. Her appearance is also stunning, so you wouldn't be at a loss."
Listening to the Tomb Master randomly pairing them up while constantly belittling her, Ling Qingzhu was furious. The next moment, she reached out and summoned her longsword back into her hand, then directly swung it at the Tomb Master.
"You, woman, no wonder this kid doesn't like you. Your temper is a bit too fierce."
The Tomb Master shook his head slightly, then reached out and tapped his finger. A powerful force not only blocked Ling Qingzhu's attack but also sent her staggering back a few steps.
The next moment, just as Ling Qingzhu was about to swing her sword again, a large hand landed on Ling Qingzhu's body. Immediately afterward, Ling Qingzhu felt that the Origin Power within her body was completely suppressed.
Her pupils trembled instantly, and Ling Qingzhu turned her head to look at Lin Xuan in disbelief.
In that instant, Ling Qingzhu didn't even notice how Lin Xuan had appeared, let alone react. The Origin Power within her body was directly suppressed by Lin Xuan.
"Senior, please don't mention such jokes again."
Feeling the somewhat unusual aura on Lin Xuan's body, the Tomb Master's eyes narrowed slightly, and then he sighed with great regret.
"Alas, so be it. You, woman, are truly insensible. Did you really think that just because this kid said you were lucky to beat him, you could be mentioned in the same breath as him?"
"His talent probably surpasses those top experts from the Ancient Era, and even rivals the Ancient Eight Rulers and even Symbol Ancestor. Even I might not be able to defeat him now."
It was clear that the Tomb Master truly felt regret, the look in his eyes couldn't be hidden. After all, this was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen, and also the most talented. And Lin Xuan was the most terrifyingly talented person he had ever seen.
This man and woman were a perfect match, but alas, alas!
"Senior is too kind. Lin Xuan only has a slight understanding of the Sword Dao, so he is good at attacking. In senior's hands, he might not be able to withstand three moves!"
Lin Xuan also responded politely. His main concern was that while he was resisting, or rather, fusing the Yin and Yang energy within the Nirvana Heart, the Tomb Master would forcibly play matchmaker.
"Don't worry, I can guarantee I won't interfere. Of course, if you can't handle it, hehe, don't blame me for fulfilling this match made in heaven!"
As the Tomb Master spoke, his eyes also carried a hint of anticipation. As for Ling Qingzhu on the side, she had now reacted and looked up at the azure Nirvana Heart, her heart slightly shuddering.
"There's a problem with that Nirvana Heart?"
Thinking back to the conversation between Lin Xuan and the Tomb Master, Ling Qingzhu felt that this place was not suitable for a long stay and wanted to leave immediately.
However, before Ling Qingzhu could make any move, the Tomb Master pointed out a finger, and a barrier directly trapped Ling Qingzhu in place.
At this moment, Lin Xuan had already arrived before the Nirvana Heart, grabbed it in his palm, and then swallowed it into his stomach without hesitation.
As soon as the Nirvana Heart entered his stomach, an astonishing aura burst out from Lin Xuan's body. Intersecting sword qi immediately raged within the entire Stone Hall, leaving countless sword marks on the surrounding stone walls of the Stone Hall.
"Buzz!"
Just then, a strange wave emanated from Lin Xuan's body again. Immediately afterward, Ling Qingzhu saw that Lin Xuan's entire being had become illusory. Only at his heart, a limpid heart was constantly beating.
Looking at that limpid and clear heart, Ling Qingzhu only felt a shudder in her heart. An extremely special pressure, like a huge rock, weighed heavily on her heart.
"This wave is quite peculiar, and judging by its appearance, he comprehended it himself. Tsk tsk, truly unparalleled talent. How about it, woman, do you regret it now? With such talent, not to mention you, I'm afraid no one in this world can match him."
The Tomb Master looked at the clear Sword Heart and couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement, saying with a hint of regret.
"How about I lend you a hand later and help you achieve your marriage with him, what do you think?"
