"Hey, you're just leaving like that?"
Seeing Cen Xi speak so harshly and leave so decisively, Wen Qihe couldn't help but step forward, grab her, and ask.
"What else? Stay for dinner at your place?"
Cen Xi gave her a disgruntled look.
“Then take me with you. You are my husband. Wherever you go, I will go.”
Wen Qihe glanced at her brother inside the room, then at Cen Xi's resolute eyes, and said with a determined look in her eyes.
"I don't want to take a spy like you back to my Flying Phoenix Mountain. I'll go inside and write you a letter of divorce, which will save face for your Wen family."
"From now on, my relationship with the Wen family will only be one of cooperation. If the Wen family does not wish to maintain this relationship, then you can go to Feifeng Mountain and let me know. From now on, enemies will be especially hostile when they meet, and each of us will have to rely on our own abilities."
Cen Xi glared at Wen Qihe, went inside, found a pen on the table, and got to work.
Wen Qixi watched Cen Xi's actions from beginning to end. He remained silent and let Cen Xi write.
But Wen Qihe couldn't let Cen Xi write the divorce papers. Once she regained her freedom, her brother would have a reason to marry her off to anyone. Although she had lost interest in Jun Jianchou, she was unwilling to marry until she found a man she liked.
Cen Xi's current identity is her best shield; how could she give it up?
So Cen Xi had just started writing when she snatched the pen and said:
"No, this divorce agreement can't be written. Take me with you, and I'll break away from the Wen family from now on. I'll be yours, and if you point east, I'll never go west, okay?"
"Are you sure you want to leave the Wen family? And have you forgotten something? I'm a woman, and writing this is entirely for the sake of the Wen family's reputation!"
Cen Xi thought that Miss Wen must be sick. Even if she didn't write a divorce agreement, she didn't fulfill her duties as a husband. And what did she mean by "If you point east, I will never go west"?
I don't understand!
“I don’t care. Now that I’ve married you, whether you’re a man or a woman, you have to take care of me. You can’t leave me in the Wen family.”
Wen Qihe threw down her pen and started acting spoiled and unreasonable.
"Young Master Wen, aren't you going to do anything about this?"
Cen Xicheng was so angry he laughed.
“It’s her business if my sister wants to follow you. But once she leaves, the second young lady of the Wen family will be married off and will have no reason to return to her parents’ home. If you write a divorce agreement now, she will soon marry into the Xie family in Yinzhou as a second wife. She has been causing trouble for so long, it’s time for her to contribute to the family.”
"The Wen family's daughters are always raised for nothing."
Wen Qi glanced coldly at Wen Qihe, and then said.
"Your real purpose in following me is to marry into Yinzhou and become a second wife? You don't want to marry?"
Cen Xi chuckled and asked Wen Qihe.
"I…"
Wen Qihe clenched the handkerchief tightly in her hands and remained silent.
"You Wen family members are truly something else. From concubines to young masters and ladies to young ladies, you are all arrogant and convoluted, using threats and inducements. I really misjudged you before. I, Cen Xi, am not worthy of your esteem. If that's how Young Master Wen is, then the contract is terminated. From now on, let's go our separate ways and pretend we never had any dealings."
Cen Xi crumpled the paper on the table with one hand and strode away.
"Brother! She's really gone, what are we going to do?"
Seeing Cen Xi's great anger, Wen Qihe asked in a flustered manner.
“Go with her and tell her that you don’t want to get married and that I kicked you out of the Wen family. Only she can take you in.”
“I will write another letter to Prime Minister Shen, telling him the whole story of what happened today, and he will have his own way of resolving this matter.”
Wen Qi's narrow eyes flashed with a turbulent mix of emotions, but finally calmed down as she spoke.
"Okay, she threw such a tantrum, are you sure she'll still take me in?"
Wen Qihe looked at her brother with some suspicion.
"Yes! Go ahead, but don't provoke her. Try to act weak and agree with her when you speak, and you'll be able to enter her Flying Phoenix Mountain."
Wen Qi sighed helplessly.
"real?"
"real."
Wen Qi nodded. After Cen Xi's outburst today, Wen Qi had figured out how to get along with this woman in the future.
"Okay, I'll go after them right away."
Seeing her brother nod like that, Wen Qihe dashed away in a flash.
After leaving the Wen residence, Cen Xi rode directly out of the city to Feifeng Mountain.
Well done, Wen family. It's also her own fault for being so stupid. She was fooled by Wen Qixi's appearance and asked him for people. As a result, he had no secrets from her.
They even used this to threaten her.
Good, very good!
Once she has dealt with the traitors, she will settle accounts with the Wen family properly.
After Cen Xi went up the mountain, he went straight to the training ground and found Liu Ji:
"Come with me."
"Master, what has happened?"
Seeing Cen Xi's dark expression, Liu Ji scratched his head and asked cautiously.
"Just follow me."
Cen Xi glanced at him, then walked to a secluded spot and stood there.
He asked, "Of the people sent by the Wen family, who likes to chat with you?"
"Those who like to chat? Those two old women in the kitchen, they always like to chat with us. As soon as we go to the kitchen to help, they start talking non-stop."
Liu Ji thought for a moment, then suddenly realized what he meant and slapped his forehead, saying...
What did you talk about?
Cen Xi narrowed his eyes and asked.
"They were all everyday things, like how many people are in our family, whether we have married, how we got to this mountain, and so on."
Liu Ji scratched his head and thought for a moment. It seemed like there was nothing of value in these mundane family matters. Why was his master so serious?
"As expected... how did she find out that I was looking for someone?"
Upon hearing Liu Ji's explanation, Cen Xi knew that her suspicions were correct. The little boy seemed to be a quiet and reserved person, and the problem must lie with those two old women.
"Last time when the master surrounded and killed the assassins of Yanjue Sect, you deliberately let one person go. Most people heard what you shouted. Perhaps the old woman overheard the news when the brothers were discussing it."
Upon hearing this, Liu Ji finally understood why his master had come looking for him as soon as he returned to the mountain today—there was a traitor on the mountain.
"So, you can't blame Wen Qi for trying to find out about me. I wasn't on guard at all. Come on! Let's go back up the mountain first."
After mocking herself for taking Wen Qixi too seriously, Cen Xi glanced at Liu Ji and told her to follow him to the kitchen on the mountain.
It seems she's going to make an example of someone again today.
As soon as Cen Xi reached the kitchen door, she saw an old woman with a beaming smile saying to her:
"Master, what brings you here? The kitchen is a filthy place. Tell me what you would like to eat, and I'll make it for you and bring it to your room right away."
"No rush. I have a few questions for you. Answer honestly. If you answer well, you'll be rewarded. If you don't answer well, then I'll have to send you to meet the King of Hell."
Cen Xi leaned against the door, looking at her with a half-smile, but the words he spoke struck the old woman like a thunderbolt.
