"Don't be afraid, I'm back. I won't let anyone hurt you again!" Xiao Feng suppressed his anger.
He wanted to find the person who hurt Zhao Yuwei, and he wanted that person to pay the price.
"Senior sister, tell me, did you see the person who attacked you? She's from the Ming Cult, right? Who is she?"
Xiao Feng questioned Zhao Yuwei, and the burning flame in his heart made him determined that no matter who it was, he must avenge Zhao Yuwei.
Zhao Yuwei shook her head in his arms, tears streaming down her face, and said softly, "I didn't recognize who that person was, and I don't know if she was a member of the Ming Cult. Anyway, I'm fine. I just suffered some injuries and will recover soon. Maybe we should just let this matter go."
Upon hearing Zhao Yuwei's words, Xiao Feng looked down at Zhao Yuwei in his arms in disbelief.
"Senior sister, do you know what you're saying? She almost killed you, and you're actually saying you want to let her go?"
Xiao Feng was incredulous and pulled Zhao Yuwei out of his arms.
"I really didn't see who that person was. I was already asleep, but I suddenly felt danger approaching, so I opened my eyes."
"The person was wearing a mask and dressed in all black, so I really couldn't tell them apart."
Zhao Yuwei lowered her head, her voice tinged with sadness.
"I don't believe you, Senior Sister. You never look me in the eye when you lie. You know who that person is; you've seen her! Did she say something completely untrue to you?"
Seeing Zhao Yuwei's hesitation and retreat, and thinking of Su Xueqing's protection of those lowly maids, Xiao Feng's anger burned even brighter.
This fire started burning little by little from the moment he went to find Su Xueqing.
Now, seeing Zhao Yuwei lying on the ground covered in blood, her life hanging in the balance, this anger could no longer be suppressed.
He doesn't care who the guy who did it is; he'll make him pay!
Xiao Feng didn't expect that even though Zhao Yuwei was almost killed by the other party, she still refused to reveal who had attacked her.
Xiao Feng was completely baffled. He thought Zhao Yuwei was worried about causing him trouble, so he tried to comfort her.
"Senior sister, don't worry about causing me trouble. Someone hurt you, and I will avenge you. Senior sister, tell me who it was!"
Xiao Feng gripped Zhao Yuwei's shoulders and shook her twice, his gaze fixed intently on her eyes.
For some reason, Zhao Yuwei hesitated and refused to speak, only asking Xiao Feng not to pursue the matter any further.
Since Xiao Feng said he would take her away from the Ming Cult and live somewhere else, they could just pretend that what they had experienced in the Ming Cult was just a passing cloud and forget about it.
"I can't forget it!" Xiao Feng shouted.
Zhao Yuwei was startled by Xiao Feng's actions and looked up at him with teary eyes.
Xiao Feng pushed Zhao Yuwei away, his eyes filled with disappointment, yet also harboring murderous intent towards those who had hurt her.
"Senior sister, you just don't believe me, right? You think I would let the benefits the Ming Cult brings me, or let some people in the Ming Cult cause you to suffer, and that I wouldn't stand up for you."
"So you're unwilling to tell me the truth about this matter, which means you've long lost trust in me and are protecting the murderer who killed you!"
"If I hadn't come back in time, if you hadn't been lucky, she really would have killed you! She was going to kill you, and you're still going to protect her?"
"What on earth is the reason that makes you so shameless, so easily manipulated and bullied?!"
Xiao Feng looked at Zhao Yuwei with eyes full of disappointment.
This is the last thing Zhao Yuwei wanted to see.
Zhao Yuwei opened her mouth, unsure of where to begin.
Xiao Feng turned his head, his tone tinged with pain: "Senior Sister, if you don't want to tell me, I will personally investigate the truth, but a relationship without trust cannot go far, and we don't need to continue being together."
Xiao Feng's words were cold and carried a hint of warning.
Zhao Yuwei looked up abruptly, unable to believe that Xiao Feng would say something like "let's separate."
But she didn't say anything, wasn't it all for his sake? Wasn't it to avoid ruining his relationship with Su Xueqing?
Do you really need to know the truth? Even if the truth affects your current position, do you still absolutely have to know?
Zhao Yuwei finally spoke.
"My current status is due to the help of others, but it is also inseparable from my own hard work. No one has the right to control my life!" Xiao Feng turned his back again, unwilling to look at Zhao Yuwei.
"What if I said that the person who attacked me and said those things to me were both Miss Su's personal maids? You've met her before, her name is Yuan Ruo."
"She said some things to me before, and she was the one who attacked me just now. But she's Miss Su's confidante. Are you going to attack her?"
Upon hearing Zhao Yuwei finally reveal everything, Xiao Feng was thrilled and immediately turned around.
He hugged Zhao Yuwei again, his voice resolute: "Why shouldn't I go? She hurt my woman, she deserves to pay the price!"
Zhao Yuwei hugged Xiao Feng back, responding forcefully to his love for her.
Her tears streamed down her cheeks like beads from a broken string.
Her voice choked with emotion as she said, "But if you kill her, Miss Su might be angry with you. I don't want you and Miss Su to break up because of me."
“Miss Su truly loves you. Perhaps Yuan Ruo just feels that my existence has caused Miss Su to suffer.”
Even now, Zhao Yuwei is still trying to persuade Xiao Feng not to pursue the matter any further.
But the moment Xiao Feng learned that someone dared to speak nonsense to Zhao Yuwei and that Su Xueqing hadn't dealt with it properly, Xiao Feng already harbored resentment towards Su Xueqing.
It's a shame that he made a special trip to see Su Xueqing after returning from the small Buddhist temple, and even had a close conversation with her.
But he knew that Su Xueqing had only been using his martial arts techniques from the beginning.
If she hadn't become stronger, she wouldn't be so obedient as she is now.
Deep down, she remains that unruly, cold-blooded witch.
How could I have imagined that the two of them could get along peacefully?
Senior sister is kind and gentle by nature, how could she possibly be a match for a witch?
"She's just a lowly maid. If Su Xueqing really cared about me, she wouldn't have allowed her maid to say such hurtful things to me."
"I will not allow the maids around her to harm the woman I love. Since she can't control these maids, then I will. She can't stop me!"
Xiao Feng's voice was icy cold.
He certainly remembered Yuan Ruo. Yuan Ruo always told him that he treated Su Xueqing badly and that he treated Zhao Yuwei too well.
They said his actions were unbecoming of a son-in-law of the Ming Cult!
What a joke! Is this the kind of son-in-law Xiao Feng wanted?
Wasn't this son-in-law position something they forced him to take?
I have saved the Ming Cult many times before, don't the Ming Cult members have any gratitude at all?
