Chapter 493 Feng Yao's Determination

Wu Li sneered, "It's my own fault for being stupid, not yours."

Hearing this, Xia Yue felt even more guilty.

But now, besides apologizing, she doesn't know what else to say.

Qu Wanwan couldn't stand seeing Wu Li like this, so she stepped forward and said, "Wu Li, they didn't lie to you that much. If they were really ruthless, you wouldn't even know you've been sold out. For my sake, let's just let this go."

Wu Li actually knew that he hadn't suffered much loss in this matter.

But his pride, his fragile young heart, collapsed once again!

He thought he had found true love, but it turned out to be a joke.

Last night, I went to my father in high spirits to tell him that I had found someone I liked, and then I told him the whole story again.

The father didn't say anything, only that he would come over this morning to meet the girl with him.

Seeing his father's calm demeanor, he knew that his father had known the truth all along!

Everyone kept him in the dark and made a fool of him.

Is this fun?

"Father, I'm not feeling well, so I won't be able to have breakfast with these distinguished guests. I'll be leaving now." Wu Li couldn't stay any longer and ran away.

The priest shook his head helplessly when he saw his son like this.

This kid is still too young, so he hasn't experienced many setbacks yet. He'll gradually understand things in the future.

"Gentlemen, don't worry about my simple-minded son, let's continue," the priest continued, inviting everyone to join in.

Seeing this, Mingzhe mustered his courage and asked, "Your Excellency, I've heard that the Witch Kingdom has all sorts of strange Gu poisons. I'd like to ask if there are any Gu poisons that can wake someone up? My girlfriend was poisoned by mushrooms and has been unconscious ever since. I want to save her."

“That’s simple. The Holy Gu can cure all kinds of Gu and also treat many diseases. After you’ve used your Holy Gu to cure the Red Bean Gu, there’s still more than enough left. Just share some with others.” The priest generously pointed out a clear path.

Mingzhe was overjoyed upon hearing this, "Thank you very much, High Priest."

Upon hearing that it could cure many diseases, Xia Yue immediately felt hopeful and asked eagerly, "Can the Holy Gu cure blood diseases?"

"I'm afraid that won't work," the priest replied directly.

Xia Yue's face immediately showed disappointment, and she asked nervously, "Why?"

"The Holy Gu is just a Gu, not a panacea. Blood diseases have already affected the entire bloodstream. Gu worms are no match for modern advanced medicine. Otherwise, wouldn't all the Gu masters in my Witch Kingdom live to be a hundred years old? That's obviously impossible," the priest replied directly.

Xia Yue's face froze completely. She wanted to say something, but in the end, she said nothing.

Qin Yeting patted Xia Yue's shoulder and comforted her softly, "It's okay. After we return to China, I will find a professional medical team, and we will definitely be able to cure Xiao Xingyu."

Xia Yue kept her head down and remained silent.

Seeing the worried expressions on the young couple's faces, the priest's expression shifted slightly, and he felt a slight urge to tell them the truth.

But then he thought about it again. Xia Yue had lied to his precious son, and although he wanted his son to learn a lesson and suffer a loss, he was still worried.

But suffering a loss is suffering a loss, and taking revenge is taking revenge; these are two different things.

Moreover, he had promised the former emperor of Country A that even though the emperor was dead, he still had to keep his promise.

The truth will be revealed as these two slowly work their way up and find it.

Soon, Xia Yue and the others arrived at the main hall of the Divine Palace.

The place is sacred and solemn, with an overall white layout that makes it appear very grand and sophisticated.

This place doesn't look like a simple breakfast spot; there's probably more to discuss.

Xia Yue and Qin Yeting were both mentally prepared; no matter what the other party asked, as long as it wasn't too unreasonable, they were willing to agree.

However, before the priest could speak, Feng Yao said somewhat anxiously, "Priest, hello, my name is Feng Yao, I am from the Feng family in Country A, and I am Wanwan's boyfriend. I hope you can grant us your blessing. No matter how high the bride price is in Wu Kingdom, as long as I can afford it, I will not refuse!"

Xia Yue felt a headache coming on when she heard her brother's words.

The Witch Kingdom has made it clear that it will not let Wanwan leave. In fact, if it is discovered that Wanwan and Feng Yao are still entangled, it will affect Wanwan's status as a saintess.

But her older brother refused to believe it and insisted on trying again.

Upon hearing this, Qu Wanwan turned pale with anxiety and looked at the priest with a face full of worry.

Fortunately, the priest didn't take it to heart and simply said, "The Holy Maiden is the representative of our Witch Kingdom's Divine Palace. Princess Wanwan is a thing of the past. Young Master Feng, don't talk nonsense anymore, otherwise it will only damage the Holy Maiden's reputation."

Feng Yao was stunned for a moment, realizing that he had really spoken out of turn this time.

He was filled with reluctance, but after much deliberation, he finally stood up and bowed in the direction of the priest.

"I'm sorry, I misspoke just now. This has nothing to do with Wanwan; it was all just my own wishful thinking." Feng Yao's voice was very low, and his heart seemed to have sunk to the bottom.

He didn't have much ambition in his life; he just wanted a harmonious family and a simple life with the people he loved.

He never liked to fight for the power of the Feng family before, and he still doesn't now.

But now, he doesn't even have the right to be with the person he likes.

The priest noticed Feng Yao's disappointment and calmly said, "Since ancient times, those who are deeply in love have only ended up with regrets. Young people are more likely to be blinded by emotions."

"Fine, I'll give you a treasure to get rid of this trouble."

"Treasure? What treasure?" Feng Yao asked in a low voice.

Qu Wanwan seemed to have guessed something, her expression changed slightly, and she spoke first, "Your Excellency, there's no need. Feng Yao is just infatuated for a while. In two years, no, in two months, he will forget me."

"Two months is still a long time, it's too much trouble," the priest said with a faint smile.

Qu Wanwan panicked completely.

She knelt down and pleaded, "The Forgetfulness Gu will not only make him forget me, but it will also shorten his lifespan by at least five years. The side effects are too great."

"Look how anxious you are. Whether he takes it or not is his own business. I haven't forced you to take it, which is already a mercy. Get up!" The priest's voice carried a warning.

Qu Wanwan could only grit her teeth and slowly stand up.

Feng Yao then roughly understood what the priest meant.

The other party wanted to give him a love-severing poison to make him forget Qu Wanwan.

How is that possible!

"I won't eat it, I don't want to forget it!" Feng Yao refused without hesitation.

The priest raised an eyebrow. "I'm doing this all for your own good. The feeling of loving someone you can't have is incredibly painful."

"Then I won't eat it, and I won't give up! You're not choosing me now only because I'm not strong enough, but I will work hard to become stronger!"

Feng Yao clenched his fists, his eyes filled with resentment.

The priest treated his brother-in-law Qin Yeting with great respect because Qin Yeting was the president of the Qin Group and the boss of the Q Organization.

He himself was merely the young master of the Feng family with a title but no real control.

He believed that once he became the head of the Feng family and the Feng family's oil business flourished, the other party would definitely change their attitude!
