'What's so special about her white lightning?' Ling Yun asked as he looked at one of the formation flags, and his look was eager to snatch them from Lei Qiuling.
Ling Xi directly explained it to him. "White lightning can only be used by a cultivator with a high affinity for the lightning element, and Qiuling's affinity is extremely high. Besides, it was one of the lightning that usually appeared in the lightning tribulation, but not all cultivators could experience it. Mostly, they would die if white lightning struck their bodies, and their corpses would be reduced to ashes. As for every color of lightning that will descend during the lightning tribulation, you can witness it for yourself when Lian Bing breaks through later."
'You mean Bing'er will experience multiple lightning colors during her breakthrough later?' Ling Yun asked with a frown.
Ling Xi nodded to him. "Yes! However, I cannot tell which lightning color she will encounter later. However, you don't need to worry about her, especially since she is already willing to be your woman, so you can help her break through."
'I see.' Ling Yun nodded in understanding and then walked towards one of Lei Qiuling's formation flags.
"What are you going to do?" Lei Qiuling asked him as she raised her eyebrows. "If you dare to touch it, you will suffer a counterattack from my lightning and surely die."
"Are you worried about me, Miss Qiuling?" Ling Yun asked her as he looked at her with a smile.
"Humph!" Lei Qiuling snorted at him. "I don't even know you! If you want to die, you can touch it."
Ling Yun laughed softly after he heard that, and he teased Liu Qiuling through sound transmission, for he didn't want to embarrass her in front of so many people. 'Do you really not know me? You even peeked on me dual cultivating with my women in the forest back then, remember?'
Lei Qiuling was stunned when she heard Ling Yun's question, and her face instantly turned as red as a ripe tomato; she then stuttered. 'How... how did you know about that? I... I didn't peek at you guys directly! I... I knew that from the memories of the beasts that you guys watched back then.'
'Whatever you say, but in reality, you have already peeked at us and found some of my secrets, so how can you say that you don't know me?' Lei Qiuling's face became even redder upon hearing that, causing the onlookers and her family to feel confused by her reaction. 'If-'
Ling Yun wanted to tease Lei Qiuling again, but a voice transmission suddenly sounded in his mind.
'Hehe, are you interested in my second daughter, Ling Yun?' Su Jiangwen asked as she giggled.
'Oh?' Ling Yun then turned to the Lei Clan's area, and Su Jiangwen waved at him, unknownst to her husband, who was seriously watching their second daughter. 'Well? Qiuling is beautiful, talented, and has many amazing abilities. I would be a hypocrite if I said I wasn't interested with her.'
Su Jiangwen nodded with a smile. 'If you're interested in Qiuling, I'll allow you to approach her. Even though you have many wives, I can see they are all delighted with you, so I wouldn't mind if my daughter also became one of your wives. As for my husband, you don't need to think about him; he won't dare contradict my words.'
Ling Yun laughed after hearing that; he had also realized Lei Yuntian was extremely afraid of his wife. 'Although I am attracted to your daughter, Qiuling is not necessarily attracted to me.'
'You're wrong about that.' Su Jiangwen answered as she shook her head. 'Ever since my daughter saw you dual cultivating with your women, she has been thinking about you a lot, and she can't get that thing out of her mind either.'
'Oh?' Ling Yun was surprised to hear that, but he was also astonished by Su Jiangwen's attitude of wanting to give her daughter to him, especially since she didn't know anything about him.
Noticing Ling Yun's strange behavior, Lei Qiuling followed the direction of his gaze, and she immediately shouted to her mother. "Mom! You better stop it! Or I'll be mad at you!"
Lei Yuntian and Lei Tong turned to Su Jiangwen with looks full of questions, but she only laughed at them and shouted back at her daughter. "Qiuling! I did it for your future! So don't be mad at me, okay?"
"No! If you keep doing that, I'll be mad at you!" Lei Qiuling shouted in a high tone, for she was very familiar with her mother's mischievous side, so she knew that she must be talking to Ling Yun through voice transmission.
On the other hand, the spectators were confused by their behavior, especially since they wanted to see Ling Yun's next move to thwart Lei Qiuling's technique.
However, Su Jiangwen didn't heed her daughter's words, and she shouted. "Ling Yun! I will support you courting my second daughter! I believe you can definitely melt her heart!"
"Mom!" Lei Qiuling screamed as she stomped her feet like a little girl, and her mother's words made her feel embarrassed towards those people, leaving the audience dumbfounded to see her act like that.
On the other hand, Ling Yun's women laughed at Lei Qiuling's behavior, and Ling Yu'er immediately shouted at him. "Yun'er! You must defeat her and get her heart quickly."
"That's true, Brother! big Sis Qiuling is so beautiful and talented; we don't mind if she becomes our new sister!" Ling Xiya also shouted as she laughed, seeing Lei Qiuling, who was already embarrassed.
'Ugh! They are all too much! I really want to find a hole to hide in!' Lei Qiuling grumbled in her heart.
While they were focused on that, they were suddenly startled by a loud explosive sound from the other arena, and they saw Su Xin being sent flying into the air and her body covered in numerous severe injuries.
Ling Yun frowned as he sensed Dong Zhu's killing intent directed towards Su Xin. Without thinking twice, he grabbed one of the flags of Lei Qiuling's formation, sending her into shock.
'How... How could he remove my formation flag so easily? Moreover, he didn't suffer a counterattack from it, and my white lightning was absorbed by his body instead.' Lei Qiuling muttered with shock as she stood frozen in place.
Even Lei Yuntian and Lei Tong's eyes widened in shock to the point that they were speechless because they were too shocked, for they knew that Lei Qiuling's white lightning was powerful.
On the other hand, Su Jiangwen smiled in satisfaction at that, she nodded repeatedly as she inwardly said. 'Hehehe! If Qiuling becomes Ling Yun's wife, she will be happy with him. He is a strong cultivator, and he is also mighty in bed.
Long Wei and Xuanyuan Xue'er frowned as Ling Yun caught Su Xin and Dong Zhu's spearhead.
On the other hand, Feng Ruxue just shook her head at that, especially since she already knew that Su Xin was Ling Yun's dual cultivation partner, so she couldn't possibly let Dong Zhu kill her.
"Why are you interfering with our match?" Dong Zhu coldly asked him, and his eyes narrowed to look at Ling Yun.
Ling Yun's eyes instantly turned blood-red, and he asked Dong Zhu back. "Did you think your strength was that great?"
"You-" Dong Zhu immediately swallowed back his words after he saw Ling Yun's eyes, and her body seemed to tremble violently.
"This competition is to test the abilities of the younger generation, and you have gone too far by trying to kill Su Xin." Ling Yun then let go of Dong Zhu's spearhead. "If you want to fight to the death, I will fulfill your wish in the next match, for I will not spare anyone who has such an intention towards my closest people, and she is one of them."
Ling Yun's words shocked all the cultivators present, especially since Su Xin was a disciple of the Hundred Flower Sect, but he referred to her as one of his closest people.
Long Wei only shook his head at that but didn't say anything. Although Xuanyuan Xue'er had many questions about their relationship, she also held back from asking Ling Yun and chose to ask him when they met later.
Ling Yun then turned to Feng Ruxue; she nodded at him and immediately announced the winner. "Since Su Xin can no longer fight, Dong Zhu is the winner."
In another arena, Yu Mei had also managed to defeat her opponent, especially since her opponent's abilities were inferior to hers, so she didn't have to try too hard to end their match.
Ling Yun then took Su Xin to his women's place before he returned to Lei Qiuling; he then showed the flang and said to her. "Miss, it's just the two of us now, and this thing is in my hands, so you won't be able to use your formation anymore."
However, Lei Qiuling did not answer Ling Yun's question, and she was still frozen in place as she was utterly shocked by her actions.
Ling Yun smiled wryly at Lei Qiuling's expression. He then walked to her and placed the flag in her hand. "You'd better give up on this fight."
Lei Qiuling sighed softly and nodded to him. "Patriarch Long, I admit defeat."
