Qi Yu had only listened reluctantly with the intention of seeing how much more noise they could make. After all, if he were to stop Feng Yuyan, rumors would surely spread tomorrow that the Qi family had no bottom line!
Ever since meeting Feng Yuxuan, Qi Yu felt that his life had never been smooth, and he even implicated the Qi family!
He was just regretting that he had been tolerant of Feng Yuxuan again and again, allowing the other party to become more and more presumptuous, when he heard these words, he keenly realized that something was wrong and subconsciously turned around to look for Cheng Ye.
Originally just a spectator joining in the fun, Cheng Ye was suddenly pushed to the center of the storm. He was a little confused. Before everyone could look at him, he quickly put down the half-eaten pastry in his hand and wiped the pastry crumbs from the corner of his mouth.
It’s impossible that when Feng Yuxuan CUEs him, everyone will see him looking silly while chewing cakes. He can’t bring shame to the Cheng family!
"Young Master Cheng, I think no one knows the quality of this magic weapon better than you." Feng Yuxuan had already thought of this countermeasure when he came in. He had determined Cheng Ye's position early on. At this moment, he walked in front of Cheng Ye accurately without haste. Before Cheng Ye could speak, he leaned sideways, supported his bloated belly, and knelt down with difficulty.
"I was bewildered and stole Young Master Cheng's magic weapon. I was wrong and I got my retribution. Although the Feng family's decline is partly my responsibility, the accusation put on me by Yu Yan is too great and Yuxuan cannot admit it. I only ask Young Master Cheng to speak for me for A Yu's sake." Feng Yuxuan was flexible and his apology was sincere. In addition, she was pregnant and showed weakness so obviously. It seemed that if Cheng Ye still argued with him after saying this, he would be unreasonable even if he was right.
The crowd that was noisy just now suddenly quieted down. After all, this matter involved two big families, and it was not something they could interfere with.
What’s more important is that when the weak stand on the moral high ground, almost no one can resist the destructive power of their deliberate weakness.
The humble attitude of admitting his fault, the difficult kneeling posture, and the pitiful tears instantly subsided the indignant accusations against Feng Yuxuan's inhumanity. Many cultivators even whispered in his defense, "If it really wasn't him who made it, then it's not his fault. Besides, with his belly so big, how can he go to see the mess at the Feng family's house? It would be bad if he got scared and had a miscarriage."
"I heard that the magic weapon was made of fine materials and has exquisite workmanship. It's not something Feng Yuxuan could have made. I guess he didn't even know Young Master Qi when he was refining it."
Feng Yuxuan knelt on the ground with his head bowed low. As everyone spoke up for him, he bent his stomach and tried to kowtow: "I beg Master Cheng to clear my name."
What a shame! It’s not me who wronged you, how can I clear your name? Cheng Ye rolled his eyes in his heart.
He wanted to stand up immediately, but just as he put his hands on the table, a sudden force pulled him to the side and he hit a solid wall of flesh, just in time to avoid Feng Yuxuan's kneeling gesture.
The excessive intimacy made him very uncomfortable. Cheng Ye took action subconsciously. The familiar smell lingered at the tip of his nose, and he once again collided head-on with the chest as hard as armor.
"Hiss——" Knowing that it was an acquaintance, Cheng Ye relaxed a lot.
"Are you okay? Let me take a look!" Cheng Xi pushed away his hand that was covering his nose and lowered her head to take a closer look.
It hurt so much that the tip of my nose turned red.
Cheng Xi touched his face carefully: "Does it hurt?"
In a warm embrace and a safe leaning position, Cheng Ye closed his eyes and took a greedy breath in his arms, but before he raised his head to be touched by Cheng Xi, his face had returned to an expressionless state.
He glanced at Cheng Xi coldly: "Why are you here?" What about the training you promised, the preparation for entering the secret realm?
Cheng Xi seemed to have not expected to be exposed so soon, and was a little flustered. She said rather helplessly: "I... I thought you would come, so I came to see."
"..." Cheng Ye snorted coldly, poking his shoulder with his finger, deliberately increasing the distance between them.
The awkward look of the two looked like a young couple having a quarrel, and anyone with a discerning eye could easily guess their relationship.
Qi Yu looked at him with a fierce look in his eyes.
Sure enough, the leaves... eventually belonged to someone else.
He subconsciously glanced at Feng Yuxuan and couldn't help thinking: If Feng Yuxuan was not pregnant, if the marriage ceremony could not be held today, if... then would he still have one last chance?
His gaze was too naked, and his thoughts were written on his face almost without any concealment. How could Feng Yuxuan not see it?
The reunification ceremony must be held on time today. If he misses this time, he will never have another chance!
Feng Yuxuan forced himself to kowtow in the direction of Cheng Ye: "Master Cheng, Yuxuan begs you to clear Yuxuan of suspicion."
Seeing him deliberately playing the victim, Cheng Ye didn't know what to say.
Do you really have to pick on a pregnant man in public?
But if I let it go today, I'm afraid this matter will never be used as an excuse to hold Feng Yuxuan hostage again. Bringing it up again will make me seem like I'm going back on my word and being narrow-minded.
Before Cheng Ye could speak, Cheng Xi couldn't stand it anymore and threatened Cheng Ye.
Cheng Xi had long been fed up with him stealing the fruits of Cheng Ye's labor: "Master Feng, although you haven't explained the whole story, my understanding is that you first became a thief and stole Ye's things for yourself. No, you are not a thief, you are worse than a thief. You even shamelessly said that this thing was created by you to gain fame for yourself?!"
"But your intelligence isn't enough to let you know what this thing is used for. You used it in the wrong place and killed someone. Now you want to put all the blame on Ye Zi?" Cheng Xi sneered, "So what your sister said is right. You treat everyone present as fools. All the benefits are yours, and the disadvantages are for others. Don't you really suffer any loss?"
"Master Feng, I've heard of people taking advantage of their seniority to bully others, but this is the first time I've seen someone taking advantage of their pregnancy to bully others. Well, from now on, no one will be punished for making a mistake. Just get pregnant and kowtow to apologize, and that's it?" Cheng Xi pointed out Feng Yuxuan's intention to stand on the moral high ground and ask Cheng Ye to pay for his mistakes.
Some of the soft-hearted monks present also felt that Feng Yuxuan was quite pitiful. They thought it was just a momentary greed and not intentional. They were thinking of forgiving him if possible.
But now my train of thought has been unraveled - Oh my God, what on earth was I thinking just now!
If he was led by Feng Yuxuan, the one who would be at fault in the end would be Young Master Cheng, who had nothing better to do than to refine the weapon and failed to keep it properly, leading to it being stolen!
...Although it's a bit confusing! But Feng Yuxuan is indeed guiding everyone along this path!
Wasn't the child conceived in Feng Yuxuan's belly, but in her own head? How could she have such irresponsible thoughts?
The people who suddenly came to their senses looked at Feng Yuxuan with even more strange eyes. This Young Master Feng was very good at lying with his eyes open and calling a horse a zebra. They were almost led astray by him.
No wonder Qi Shao was taken into his pocket, it turns out he has this skill.
Feng Yuxuan was so angry that he almost vomited blood. He originally wanted to involve Cheng Ye. After all, Cheng Ye's identity and status would arouse people's gossip and would definitely divert the attention that was focused on him at the moment.
They were all destroyed by that guy.
He didn't remember at all that this man, who had been bullied by him and his sister in the Feng family, had now grown into a tall and powerful man who could stand on his own feet!
He just wanted to refute what this person said, but Cheng Xi's fierce eyes forced him to be unable to open his mouth and make a sound, and he missed the best opportunity to defend himself.
Feng Yuxuan was still kneeling on the ground. His belly was too big for him to stand up. It was impossible for him to stand up immediately, but the posture with his belly hunched was very uncomfortable. After a while, his legs began to cramp, his face turned pale, and he was sweating coldly. He looked like he might faint at any time.
But now no one sympathized with him at all, and some people even whispered whether he was acting, which made Feng Yuxuan so angry that his head was throbbing with pain.
"My magical weapon? Feng Yuxuan, I haven't even investigated how something I refined became yours, and now you want me to take the blame for killing your family?" Cheng Ye laughed sarcastically. "Didn't I tell you I have an absolute domain? All the magical weapons I refine are safely stored in that domain, and no one can enter except me. How did you steal them?"
If he didn't tell the truth, then the magic weapon would have to be made by himself. If it was good, Feng Yuxuan would be happy to accept it, which would just consolidate his title as a weapon-making genius.
But now——
Feng Yuxuan was in a dilemma and his head hit the ground with a loud bang!
Blood beads continued to seep out of his raised forehead.
He glanced at Qi Yu and said with difficulty: "Indeed, I stole it!"
Cheng Ye sneered: "What a joke! If you can steal my things, where is my face?" He did not hide his contempt for Feng Yuxuan at all.
"But you mean a protective magic weapon?" Cheng Ye tilted his head and recalled a little. "I do remember that when I was a child, I did refine a similar magic weapon. However, due to my limited knowledge at the time, the magic weapon was not even a semi-finished product. I just threw it into my own field. In this field, besides me, there is only..."
At this point, he cried out "Ah", as if he suddenly remembered something. His face changed drastically in an instant and he looked at Qi Yu in astonishment.
"I see, I see, no wonder! No wonder you stole it. Haha, it really is true that if you are not from the same family, you will not marry!" Cheng Ye clapped his hands, shook his head and laughed sarcastically, "You two are really a couple of minds, and your strength can cut through metal."
Cheng Ye's words were vague, and of course everyone didn't know what he meant. They all looked at Qi Yu in confusion, and their quick thinking guessed that with Feng Yuxuan's level of cultivation, it was impossible for him to steal things from Cheng Ye.
But Qi Yu is different.
Cheng Ye is a descendant of a weapon-refining family and is a skilled worker, while Qi Yu is a swordsman!
In terms of fighting power, there is no comparison between the two!
Not to mention stealing a long-forgotten magic weapon, even stealing Cheng Ye’s personal jade pendant is entirely possible!
Qi Yu also understood instantly!
"My own" field! Isn't it the field I mentioned before?
Apart from Cheng Ye, the only place that can be entered is by myself who accidentally broke the ban!
At that time, when he missed Cheng Ye the most, he did try to go in and out a few times, and took a few small things inside to comfort himself, but he put them back very carefully every time, and never had the slightest thought of taking them for himself!
But at that time - it seemed that Feng Yuxuan was the most attached to her.
Could it be that at that time——
Qi Yu was angry and embarrassed!
He raised his head in panic to search for Cheng Ye, and met a pair of indifferent eyes. Upon closer inspection, it was obvious that there was a bit of distrust and ridicule in those eyes. Qi Yu's ears turned red.
He couldn't wait to explain to Cheng Ye that he was absolutely unaware of this matter!
He did not take Cheng Ye's magic weapon for Feng Yuxuan's future. He would never do anything to hurt Cheng Ye or even to damage Cheng Ye's interests in his life!
But his lips moved, and before he could say the words, Cheng Ye suddenly turned his face away, with a look of disgust as if he didn't want to see him.
It was a bolt from the blue, and Qi Yu stood there in a daze.
It was a scorching hot day, but he felt as if he had fallen into an icy cave. His heart seemed to be frozen and he was shivering with cold!
Ye Zi must have misunderstood. He might even think that the cave was a trap designed to steal the good things in his area!
As Qi Yu felt disappointed, the last bit of reluctance he had towards Feng Yuxuan completely vanished.
Feng Yuyan hadn't expected the Cheng family's young master to be involved. She was stunned for a moment before immediately rushing over, pulling Feng Yuxuan's hair. "Are you crazy? You stole Young Master Cheng's magical weapon and gave it to the Feng family! What are your intentions? If nothing happened to the Feng family, Young Master Cheng would have let you, who had become Young Master Qi's Taoist companion, go if he knew his magical weapon was being used by the Feng family without their permission. But would he let us, the Feng family, go?"
You know, the Cheng family is famous for protecting their own people!
However, seeing Cheng Ye's clueless look, Feng Yuyan felt somewhat relieved!
I heard that Cheng Ye had been in seclusion for some time, so she didn't know about the theft of the magic weapon. Otherwise, she would have found the Feng family long ago. At that time, she might not have been as lucky as she is today and have no chance to escape!
Feng Yuyan's eyes were red as she looked at Feng Yuxuan with hatred: "In short, regardless of whether you refined the magic weapon or not, and whether you clearly understand the safety of the magic weapon or not, you are forcing the Feng family into a dead end!"
Feng Yuxuan didn't expect Feng Yuyan to be so unreasonable and determined to throw the dirty water on himself. He immediately became furious and slapped her in the face.
With a snap, five bright red finger marks appeared on the already bruised face. In a moment, half of the face swelled up at a speed visible to the naked eye!
Feng Yuyan was stunned by the blow, and after she regained her balance, she immediately fought back!
The two men soon started fighting.
At this time, Qi Yu was completely immersed in his own grief. Of course, he did not protect the baby in Feng Yuxuan's belly. Instead, he stared at Cheng Ye in a daze.
When the others saw this farce, they were all extremely embarrassed and had no reason to stop it, so they could only leave quietly.
I seem to know too much without realizing it?!
Don’t see me, don’t see me, don’t remember me. I just want to watch the fun and don’t want to get into trouble.
Don't make things difficult for yourself just because you made a fool of the Qi family.
Cheng Xi took a step to the left, blocking Qi Yu's sight who was almost sticking to Cheng Ye, with dissatisfaction in his eyes.
Qi Yu thought that the two of them were already together openly, and he was even more sad and frustrated.
Although Feng Yuxuan was pregnant, she had taken a lot of supplements recently and was in good health. In addition, his cultivation was higher than Feng Yuyan's, so of course he had the upper hand.
But because Feng Yuyan grabbed his hair without caring about her image or the baby in Feng Yuxuan's belly, he couldn't get rid of Feng Yuyan's entanglement for a while.
Feng Yuxuan was afraid of hurting the child. After waiting for a long time, he still didn't see Qi Yu make a move. He kept calling out anxiously: "Ayu, Ayu, the child, our child..."
Apart from Cheng Ye, Qi Yu could not see anything, so his ears were naturally closed.
Feng Yuxuan looked back and met Qi Yu's affectionate eyes towards Cheng Ye, and his grievance and anger burst out on the spot.
He let out a loud cry, ripped the hand that was holding his shoulder away with brute force, and rushed towards Cheng Ye: "It's all your fault. If it weren't for you, Ah Yu would only like me. If it weren't for you, would anything happen to the Feng family? The time for the marriage ceremony has long passed. I am now Ah Yu's Taoist partner. Cheng Ye, it's you, you're the one who ruined me!"
"I'm going to kill you! Kill you! Only then can I survive!"
Cheng Ye was completely shocked. Is this the legendary getting shot even when lying down?!
How could Cheng Xi let him get close to her? With a flick of her sleeve, the tip of the sword with a cold sheen pointed straight at Feng Yuxuan's Adam's apple.
If he leaned forward even a little, a layer of skin would be scraped off his throat.
Qi Yu was even more shocked. He didn't expect Feng Yuxuan to suddenly attack Cheng Ye. After he reacted, he rushed over immediately, but because the distance was far, he was still a step slower.
When he arrived, Cheng Xi had already held Cheng Ye tightly in his arms, and there was no need for him to take any action at all.
Qi Yu vented all his frustrations on Feng Yuxuan: "You lunatic, you haven't had enough of this?"
"Have I made enough trouble? Qi Yu, ask yourself, was it me who wanted to make trouble? If it weren't for you, would I have done that?" Feng Yuxuan pointed at his nose and questioned.
Qi Yu said coldly: "You know exactly what you are doing!"
Qi Yu's affectionate eyes just now kept rolling back and forth in his mind. When he looked at him now, his eyes seemed to be filled with the coldness of ice that had not melted for thousands of years. Feng Yuxuan curled his lips in self-deprecation: "Qi Yu, why can't you trust me just once? I married you and gave birth to children for you because I really love you!"
Qi Yu obviously didn't take his words to heart and didn't even listen to him.
Feng Yuxuan became more and more excited as he spoke, as if he wanted to analyze his inner thoughts to Qi Yu: "But what about you? Cheng Ye is the only one in your heart and eyes. When you were desperately pursuing Cheng Ye, did you ever look back at me who was desperately pursuing you? He is a child of destiny, and I am just a weed on the ground. Qi Yu, this is not fair..."
"Ah--" When Feng Yuxuan was excited, no one noticed that Feng Yuyan on the side had launched a sneak attack. She retaliated by slapping Feng Yuxuan hard in the face.
Feng Yuxuan's center of gravity was unstable to begin with, and he fell to his knees without any preparation. He rolled over on the ground, holding his stomach, and screaming in pain.
This scene had been played out once before, and Qi Yu also realized that he had been fooled. Of course, he was not nervous this time. Instead, he watched him show off with cold eyes.
Feng Yuyan, having seen his little tricks countless times, sneered with her hands on her hips, "Pretend, pretend again, Feng Yuxuan. You use this trick every time. Aren't you tired of it? Do you think everyone is like your parents, doting on you unconditionally?"
But Feng Yuxuan turned a deaf ear to it, and his cries of pain seemed a little quieter.
Later, Feng Yuyan's voice of adding insult to injury also stopped abruptly.
Because she saw the blood slowly seeping out from between Feng Yuxuan's legs.
Large patches of it stained the entire pair of pants red and even spread to the floor.
It seemed as if all the blood in Feng Yuxuan's body wanted to flow out!
