Chapters 949 and 950: Defection
Ye Fei looked around the private room but didn't find that familiar figure. Her eyes flickered, and she still asked, "Where's Mu Han?"
Upon hearing this name, Xie Qingui and Yun Fusang's expressions changed.
Ye Fei sensed something was amiss and immediately grasped Yun Fusang's hand: "Has...something happened?"
Yun Fusang pursed her lips and remained silent, but tightened her grip on Ye Fei's fingers and led her to a seat.
Xie Qingui sat down again, his expression noticeably colder: "Xiao Fei, just as Jing Shen said, our stance on friendship will never change. But... only she has changed."
Ye Fei frowned when she heard the clear murderous intent in his deep voice.
She had Hua Ling sit next to her, and then asked, "What happened to Mu Han? Tell me quickly."
Xie Qingui took a deep breath, organized his thoughts, and then began to tell Ye Fei: "One day five years ago, Fusang and I ran into Yu Muhan on the street. She claimed... that she wanted to sever ties with us."
“She…has completely switched sides to the Holy Church.”
Xie Qingui spoke these words with particular gravity.
Ye Fei fell silent.
Huang Rongyu and Mu Jingshen were unaware of this. They exchanged a glance, both seeing surprise in each other's eyes.
Will Yu Muhan completely defect to the Holy Church?
They all knew very well that the bond between Yu Muhan and Xiao Fei was unshakable; in fact, it could be said that Xiao Fei had changed Yu Muhan's life.
Is she really the kind of ungrateful person?
"I don't think she would do such a thing."
In the silence, Ye Fei's soft voice rang out from the private room.
Everyone turned their gaze to Ye Fei, who gently stroked the rim of her teacup and said, "Unless I see her, I will not believe that she has completely defected to the Holy Church."
Yun Fusang could understand Yu Muhan's position in Ye Fei's heart. After all, they had fought side by side and gone through life and death together. If it were her, she would not want to believe it either.
Thinking of this, Yun Fusang put her hand on Ye Fei's shoulder: "Whether the truth is as you imagine or not, just know that the rest of us will never betray you."
Ye Fei smiled and looked at everyone with gratitude in her eyes: "Thank you."
...
A meal brought a sense of joy from a long-awaited reunion.
It was a rare reunion, so Ye Fei joined in the drinking. The strong, burning liquor made her cough softly a few times.
After a few cups of liquor, Xie Qingui was already a little tipsy. He put his arm around Huang Rongyu and spoke to her, while pouring wine into her cup: "Rong... Rongyu, do you know?"
When you brought Xiaofei here... I... I thought she was your partner..."
A slight blush appeared on Huang Rongyu's face, a result of drinking.
His head ached, but he still managed to hear what Xie Qingui said. His eyes, clouded by alcohol, were not only hazy but also slightly dim.
Yun Fusang rubbed her forehead in exasperation and could only whisper to Ye Fei, "He's not usually like this. Maybe he's in a good mood tonight, so... cough, don't take what he said to Rong Yu too seriously."
Ye Fei looked at her with a smile: "I didn't take it to heart. But have you and Qin Gui gotten married yet?"
"Not yet." Yun Fusang blinked, her smile turning slightly shy. "But... it'll be soon."
"Then congratulations to Qin Gui for winning the heart of his beauty." Ye Fei picked up her wine glass and clinked it against hers.
Yun Fusang grasped Ye Fei's hand, thought for a moment, and then asked, "Xiao Fei, how are things between you and Li Yuan now?"
