The destruction of the Shadow Sect was like a violent storm that swept away the gloom, dispelling the dark mist that had shrouded the Gu Village for so long.
The Gu Village has finally seen the light again and returned to peace.
Jiu'er stood gracefully under the ancient camphor tree in the village, dappled shadows falling on her shoulders, as if draping her in a layer of ethereal feathers.
At this moment, she was like a phoenix rising from the ashes, turning misfortune into blessing. Not only was she completely freed from the toxicity of the Crescent Moon Gu, but she also cultivated the "Moonlight Technique," transforming herself completely and radiating a unique light.
"Brother Liu, will you come back to see us?" Ayiano and her brother's eyes were red, their little hands tightly clutching Liu Feng's clothes, their voices soft and reluctant.
The clan chief of Gu Village also looked disappointed, nodding slightly as he looked at Liu Feng, as if helping the children to persuade him to stay.
"Yes, I will." Liu Feng's lips curled up, revealing a warm smile.
Beside her, Jiu'er gazed silently at the scene, her eyes like autumn waters brimming with stars, shimmering with light. Her figure was graceful, her simple white dress fluttering gently, concealing the emotions hidden deep within her eyes.
"Junior brother, let's go." After Liu Feng finished responding, she said softly, her mind preoccupied and unwilling to linger any longer.
As she embarked on her journey home, Jiu'er's heart was filled with a jumble of emotions, like a bottle of mixed flavors that had been overturned.
On the one hand, the exhilaration of escaping the Crescent Moon Gu and the Shadow Sect lingered in his heart.
On the other hand, the desolation of being completely severed from family is like a cold, slippery venomous snake, quietly coiling around the heart, slowly gnawing away at the last trace of warmth deep within.
As she stepped out of the Gu Village gate, a bitter feeling involuntarily welled up in her heart, as if she were an orphan abandoned in the wilderness, feeling lost, helpless, and desperate.
The indifference of her family and the abandonment of her relatives flashed through her mind like a revolving lantern, each scene like a sharp needle piercing her heart.
After walking for a while, Jiu'er slowed down and finally stopped. She gently bit her lower lip with her pearly teeth until she left a row of light white marks. Her expression was full of hesitation and struggle.
After a long while, she finally mustered up her courage and timidly said, "Junior brother, I...I want to ask you for a favor."
The sound was as faint as a mosquito's buzz, yet it could be clearly heard on the quiet mountain road.
Liu Feng stopped upon hearing the sound, turned around to look at her, and asked with concern, "Senior Sister, what is it?"
Jiu'er looked slightly uneasy: "My brother Chu Tianci, he... he caused a huge disaster, seriously injured someone, and is still unconscious."
She paused, her eyes dimming slightly. "That man is a young master from a powerful family in the capital. I was thinking... could you help him wake him up?"
Liu Feng raised an eyebrow slightly; Jiu'er's request was quite unexpected.
Jiu'er continued, "Although I wish I could sever all ties with the Chu family immediately, we are still connected by blood, and I don't want to see innocent people suffer. This time, let me repay them for giving me life."
Liu Feng gazed at Jiu'er for a moment, surprised that she was still so kind. He finally nodded slightly and said, "Alright, I'll accompany you to Kyoto again."
Meanwhile, the Chu family in Kyoto was shrouded in gloom and despair.
Chu Gang, a man who had spent half his life navigating the treacherous waters of officialdom and was known for his composure and decisiveness, now sat slumped in a grand chair, looking utterly dejected.
"The Shadow Sect is finished. Our last resort is gone. What are we going to do..." he muttered to himself, his voice filled with despair and helplessness.
Beside her, Chu's mother was already sobbing uncontrollably, her makeup ruined and her eyes red and swollen like peaches. Her handkerchief was soaked with tears, yet she kept wiping her cheeks.
"That unfilial son!" Chu Gang slammed his hand on the table, causing the teacup on the table to jump and spill hot tea, which then seeped into the tablecloth.
Mother Chu looked anxious and said repeatedly, "Old Chu, don't just lose your temper, you have to think of a solution! Tianci is our only son. If he is really sentenced, where will our Chu family's reputation be?"
Chu Gang sneered: "Face? What face do we have left now! Have you seen the video online? He was spouting nonsense in the bar, saying things like 'My dad is Chu Gang, what can you do to me!' Now, it's all over the internet, and public opinion can't be suppressed at all!"
Chu's mother's face turned deathly pale, and her voice trembled: "Then...then what should we do? Are we really just going to watch Tianci go to jail? Tianci, my poor son."
Chu Gang took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down: "The only way now is to wake up the young master of the Zhao family as soon as possible. As long as he wakes up, there is still room for maneuver."
“Otherwise, Tianci would not only be charged with intentional injury, but could also be accused of raping a minor. With both charges combined, his life would be over! Not only that, my career would also be over…”
Upon hearing this, Chu's mother collapsed to the ground, tears streaming down her face again: "How could this happen... How could Tianci have become like this... Old Chu, Tianci is still young and doesn't understand. He must have been framed and framed. You have to find a way to save him..."
Inside the detention center, Chu Tianci still wore an arrogant and disdainful expression.
He had no idea what kind of crisis he was in, and thought his parents would take care of everything for him as usual.
"Do you know who my father is? How dare you lock me up?" Chu Tianci leaned against the wall and shouted at the police guarding him.
The policeman gave him a cold look and said sarcastically, "It doesn't matter who your father is. This time you've messed with the son of a powerful family in Kyoto. They've already said they'll make you pay the price."
Chu Tianci was taken aback, then sneered, "Don't try to scare me! My dad is Chu Gang, who dares to touch me?"
The policeman shook his head, too lazy to waste any more words with him, and turned to leave the detention cell.
Chu Tianci stared at the ceiling, a vague unease creeping into his heart, but he quickly reassured himself, "It's alright, Mom and Dad will definitely rescue me..."
Kyoto remains as bustling as ever, with neon lights flashing and cars and people moving about.
Liu Feng and Jiu'er set foot in this city again, but their feelings were completely different this time.
"Junior brother, I'm really sorry to have troubled you this time," Jiu'er said in a low voice, her tone apologetic.
Liu Feng shook his head and smiled calmly: "What matters to my senior sister is my matter. There's no need to be so polite."
The two went straight to the hospital, where security was tight, indicating that the other party's family was quite powerful.
The bodyguard stopped the two men and said coldly, "Halt! Who are you?"
Jiu'er stepped forward and explained, "We're here to rescue people."
The bodyguard sneered, "Save people? You're doctors? Even the top doctors in Kyoto couldn't do anything, and you think you can?"
Liu Feng's gaze turned slightly cold, and he was about to speak when Jiu'er reached out and stopped him.
She said sharply, "We were invited by the Chu family. If we delay treatment, can you take responsibility?"
Upon hearing this, the bodyguard's expression changed. After hesitating for a moment, he finally stepped aside.
