Chapter 145 Sang Wanyue Arrives
Linghu Zhuxu was devastated when she heard the news. She rushed to the wedding and caught the bride, but the groom, An Liuyu, had already disappeared.
In a fit of anger, she threw the bride into a snake pit and gave birth to Linghu Zhuoyu alone.
“…Whenever I cried, she would throw me into the snake pit. That’s when I met Xiao Hua and discovered that I could use magic to talk to snakes,” Linghu Zhuoyu said in a low voice. “Before, I always wondered why my mother didn’t like me and always avoided me. Later, I realized that the only meaning I had for her was to coerce An Liuyu to go back…”
In a mother's eyes, a child is merely a shadow of his father.
Mu Jianjian wanted to comfort him but didn't know how to start, because no matter how good her words were, they couldn't erase the hurt she had caused him in the past, given Linghu Zhuoyu's situation.
No wonder... no wonder he turned out the way he was described in the original book.
"elder sister……"
Mu Jianjian turned her head and saw the boy looking at her with blood all over his body and wet eyes. She couldn't bear it any longer and started to comfort him without paying attention to her words.
The idea that everyone is unique and one of a kind, that every life has value, and that life cannot be perfect, etc.
Mu Jianjian almost felt like she was preparing for a junior high school politics exam.
As she watched Linghu Zhuoyu's emotions stabilize and his smile become genuine, a weight was finally lifted from her heart.
Just then, a spoilsport sound came through.
"You bitch!"
ah?
Mu Jianjian turned her head blankly and saw a man with claw marks on his hands running angrily toward her.
Isn't this Brother Shen Ningyu?
Now that he has come to the peach blossom forest to find her, what will Shen Ningyu do now?
Shen Fengzhou stared at Mu Jianjian with eyes that seemed to spit fire, even ignoring Linghu Zhuoyu beside him. He pointed at the girl and roared, "It's all because of you, you bitch! I kindly told you the news, but you broke your promise and killed my sister!"
Mu Jianjian stared at him expressionlessly for a long time, her breathing not even disturbed by his appearance. Finally, she stood up, patted her bottom to shake off the dust, and turned to Linghu Zhuoyu, who looked unwell.
"Yu Yu, let's go. You're so badly injured, you should rest and recover. Don't get angry over such an idiot."
Linghu Zhuoyu already knew about the matter of divine sense guidance, but he didn't mention Shen Ningyu before he had thoroughly investigated Shenfengzhou.
He naturally trusted his sister unconditionally.
He couldn't act in front of his sister, but he didn't mind making some big moves behind her back. Linghu Zhuoyu felt even more sorry for Mu Jianjian when he saw that she didn't want to talk about it.
They even ignored him and insulted him!
Shen Fengzhou felt resentment, but as Mu Jianjian's gaze shifted to the side, she saw Linghu Zhuoyu, whose eyes were cold and who was covered in injuries.
He shuddered, his reason returned, he lowered his raised hand, and his heart began to pound.
The pool master was also injured?
Who, besides that madwoman, could possibly harm the pool master of such a vast Broken Mountain Pool!
The peach grove had always been the madwoman's most treasured place. Although the surrounding peach trees were not broken, all the petals on the branches had been blown off, and the ground was pitted and looked like it had been through a great battle.
He concealed his thoughts and looked up with concern, "Master Chi, are you injured? Who dared to hurt you? Our Shen family will never let this person get away with it!"
His ability to change his expression so quickly is truly remarkable; it's much more realistic and natural than his sister's acting.
Seeing that he didn't want to bring up the previous incident, and didn't want Linghu Zhuoyu to know that he had almost been tricked by Linghu Zhuxu, Mu Jianjian didn't point it out.
She helped Linghu Zhuoyu up by the arm and interrupted, "You know the Pool Master is injured, why aren't you leaving now? You're just blocking the way, aren't you?"
Seeing that the girl was going to help him, Linghu Zhuoyu was happy to oblige and shifted his weight to the side.
Shen Fengzhou remained silent, watching the two figures leave. He gradually loosened his clenched fists hanging by his sides, pondering for a long time. His mind was filled with the image of him not being able to hold onto his sister in the end, and his sister dying in the mouth of a snake.
The stench of blood lingered in the air, fueling Shen Fengzhou's suspicions. He thought this might be the only chance for everyone in the inner city.
Yu'er, he will definitely avenge you.
Mu Jianjian escorted Linghu Zhuoyu to his courtyard. Recalling Shen Fengzhou's grief and resentment just now, she had a guess about Shen Ningyu's fate.
It seems that Shen Fengzhou ultimately couldn't hold out against Shen Ningyu, who was under the control of the divine sense. If he could have held out longer and survived until Linghu Zhuxu died, the divine sense would have disappeared, and Shen Ningyu would have regained her consciousness.
It's a pity that he held on until his hands were torn and his body was covered in claw marks by his sister, but he still gave up in the end, which is truly regrettable.
“Sister, I’m fine now, but you…” Linghu Zhuoyu paused for a moment, but still mustered up her courage to ask, “Did she and Shen Ningyu do anything to you back then?”
"No, she just invited me to see the peach blossoms—" Mu Jianjian denied, but her clothes were pulled out.
"Sister, I'm really worried about you." The boy's black pupils were dark and deep, while his gray-white pupils were bright and clear, but what remained unchanged was that they both reflected the girl's image.
"It was Shen Ningyu who tried to trap me with her divine sense, but I dodged it. Later, her brother appeared, and I asked him about you guys." Mu Jianjian finally couldn't hold back anymore.
She paused, then said, "Take a good rest now and get things sorted out. I have a feeling that Shen Fengzhou's last look wasn't so simple."
——
Outside Yingzhou Duanyuechi City.
A woman stood beside the stall, her expression indifferent. A blue-red bird perched on her shoulder on her dark blue robe, its small, fluffy body buried in its black hair, making it look like a cute ornament from a distance.
"Young friend, women are not allowed to enter the city," an old man in a black robe reminded him.
Sang Wanyue looked up and nodded perfunctorily, "Mm."
After saying this, she put down the book, got up, and walked into the city.
elder:……
As the day of the Demon Lord's banquet drew near, more and more people from other factions entered Duan Yuechi, but the one or two he encountered showed no fear whatsoever.
As Sang Wanyue walked into the inner city, she thought about the news she had recently received about Mu Jianjian, and her usually calm heart gradually became restless.
As dusk approached, Sang Wanyue intended to find an inn, but she noticed several Core Formation cultivators heading east from several mansions within the inner city. She narrowed her eyes.
After a moment's thought, her figure disappeared from the spot.
