Chapter 380 Mortal Enemy
Xiao Yuanyi put down her teacup. "Master's seclusion is at a critical moment. If Lord Wei has anything to say, you can tell me, and I will pass it on."
Wei Ziming chuckled lightly, "It's nothing. Since the master hasn't come out of seclusion yet, I'll take my leave. Little master, you should also set off for the capital as soon as possible."
Xiao Yuanyi smiled, "Don't worry, Lord Wei, it won't interfere with your important matters with your master."
Wei Ziming glanced at Xiao Yuanyi, a barely perceptible hint of mockery flashing in his eyes.
After Wei Ziming left, Xiao Yuanyi took off her cloak and smiled.
She got up, walked to the door, and looked up at the sky.
The sunlight was so bright that she raised her hand and pretended to shield her eyes.
But sunlight still managed to squeeze through her fingers and shine on Xiao Yuanyi's face.
Everything is insignificant under the sun.
Therefore, she wanted to be like the blazing sun.
Everyone must look up to them, not look directly at them.
Was Wei Ziming thinking that she was a fool who had been sold out and was still helping the seller count the money?
The Wei family wanted to climb up the social ladder by stepping on her life.
She then used the entire Wei clan as a stepping stone.
As night fell, Xiao Yuanyi held a torch and set fire to the houses where she lived.
She walked slowly, the fire engulfing everything in its wake.
Until the entire mansion was engulfed by fire.
Xiao Yuanyi smiled, her stunning face once again hidden under her cloak.
She mounted her horse and addressed the people of Bliss, saying, "Let's go."
The people of Bliss followed Xiao Yuanyi and quickly retreated to the dock.
Just as they were about to reach the dock, Xiao Yuanyi waved and called for a stop.
Soon a large number of people were running towards them.
The person standing next to Xiao Yuanyi said, "Sect Leader, they are the ones who came to meet us!"
Upon seeing the large group of people, the person in charge of the rendezvous immediately shouted:
"Master, there's an ambush at the docks!"
Xiao Yuanyi's face turned cold as she looked at the group of people who were seriously injured. She turned her horse around and ordered, "Up the mountain!"
Qin Jinzhi will surely settle scores with Jiletian once the plaque is broken.
Since Xiao Chuan was returned silently, the accomplice of the Canal Gang must have been exposed.
It's only a matter of time before we find out where Cangzhou Paradise is headquartered.
Qin Jinzhi wanted to ensure that she could never return to the capital.
She didn't agree.
I just didn't expect Qin Jinzhi to be so fast.
There is a steep cliff behind Baique Temple in Cangzhou, and a waterway can be accessed after going down it.
Xiao Yuanyi led her people and quickly ran up the mountain.
Just as Xiao Yuanyi and her group reached the foot of the mountain.
Several tripwires suddenly appeared.
Xiao Yuanyi's men couldn't dodge in time.
Everyone in front was thrown into chaos.
Xiao Yuanyi quickly tightened the reins and jumped over the tripwire.
A large, well-trained group of men quickly appeared in the deep forest at the foot of the mountain and surrounded Xiao Yuanyi and the others.
The horse beneath Xiao Yuanyi paced back and forth restlessly.
A person stepped out from behind the crowd and said, "You really didn't die."
Xiao Yuanyi looked at the red-haired, red-browed man and a slight smile appeared on her lips.
Remove the cloak from your head.
"Long time no see, Brother Yue."
Yuecheng's gaze shifted from Xiao Yuanyi's eyes, which had regained their liveliness, to the Joyful Bracelet on her wrist.
He said calmly, "Surrender, you can't leave now."
Xiao Yuanyi looked into Yuecheng's eyes and said, "Brother Yue, come with me. I am of imperial blood and am more qualified than Qin Jinzhi to take that position. Don't you want to avenge your 113 family members? I will definitely help you."
Seeing this, Yuecheng took two steps back and said, "Make your move."
The surrounding people launched an attack instantly, and the people of Bliss fought back fiercely.
Xiao Yuanyi drew the whip from her waist.
Her whip skills were so exquisite that for a time no one could get close to her.
The people of Bliss desperately protected Xiao Yuanyi.
"Master, let's hold them off, you go quickly!"
The surrounding crowd actually managed to break through their defenses with their reckless fighting style.
Without hesitation, Xiao Yuanyi abandoned the others and rode her horse up the mountain.
The people of Bliss risked their lives to protect her as she ascended the mountain.
When Xiao Yuanyi finally arrived at the cliff behind the Baique Temple, which had been burned to ashes.
Her followers of Bliss who were protecting her were almost all killed or wounded.
Yuecheng and his group forced her to the edge of a cliff.
Xiao Yuanyi stood by the cliff, the wind blowing her cloak.
Her smile grew wider and wider.
“Brother Yue, do you still remember why you gave me this bracelet? You wished me peace and happiness, but now you’re forcing me to my death.”
Yuecheng looked at Xiao Yuanyi's raised wrist.
“If I had known that you were the one behind the harming of so many innocent women, I would never have given you this bracelet. Such a depraved person should go to hell.”
Xiao Yuanyi laughed loudly, a hint of madness in her eyes, "You regret it?"
Yuecheng looked at her face and said, "I, Yuecheng, am willing to admit my feelings, but you and I are not on the same path. I will sever our ties by cutting off my own arm. You and I can only be mortal enemies."
Xiao Yuanyi faced Yuecheng and retreated towards the edge of the cliff.
"Qin Jinzhi is really something. Even if both of you were willing, she couldn't make you leave her and come to my side. Yuecheng, I want you to never forget me."
Seeing her smiling face, Yuecheng quickly stepped forward to grab her.
Xiao Yuanyi, however, fell backward with the wind.
The cliff is hundreds of feet high, and below it is the surging sea.
The person fell and was never found.
Yuecheng stood on the edge of the cliff, looking at the pitch-black sea.
"Search! Find them alive or dead!"
The people Yuecheng brought, along with the members of the Canal Gang, searched for three whole days.
No remains of Xiao Yuanyi were found.
Only downstream of that waterway were the remnants of Xiao Yuanyi's cloak found.
Yuecheng clutched the piece of cloth, "Back to the capital."
At the city gate of the capital, Wei Lin straightened his clothes and placed his hands together in front of him.
He would occasionally look out of the city.
After waiting for almost half an hour, a horse-drawn carriage finally arrived slowly.
Wei Lin squinted and jogged over, "Wife!"
The coachman recognized Wei Lin and turned to the carriage, saying, "Madam, it is my husband."
The carriage stopped, and Wei Lin got in.
The woman inside was resting by the car window.
He has a good appearance, but his skin is wheat-colored.
His facial features are very defined, and he looks angry even when he's not making any expression.
Wei Lin knelt beside her legs, "My wife, you've worked hard. Let me massage your legs."
The woman opened her eyes. "Why didn't you attend court?"
Wei Lin said, "My wife is returning to the capital today, so I have taken leave."
He noticed that the woman's clothes were torn in several places.
"My lady, this journey has been extremely dangerous, and I am truly ashamed."
The woman said with some disdain, "Don't make noise, I'm going to sleep for a while."
Wei Lin immediately shut his mouth and sat silently beside the woman.
Upon returning to the Wei residence, the woman alighted from the carriage.
Looking at the magnificent mansion, she turned to Wei Lin and asked, "Princess, did the princess prepare this?"
Wei Lin smiled and nodded, "Princess, you are very courteous to scholars. After you have rested, I will show you around the mansion."
The woman nodded, then said to Wei Lin, "You said in your letter that the princess invited Grand Tutor Pei to teach Lu'er. Tomorrow, come with me to visit and express our gratitude."
"Yes, my wife."
