Chapter 476: Chapter 478 The Exposure of the Conspiracy (Part 3)
“It is Master Wushan, even Master Wushan is willing to join; it seems that this matter is true,” said one.
Perhaps his initiation prompted others who, after slight hesitation, agreed, except for the Xiao Family, who had yet to express their stance…
At that moment, Third Young Master Xiao had a new plan in mind.
His sinister eyes swept across Yan Jin’s handsome face and then settled on Xiao Jing’s, flickering faintly a few times.
Why would he need to join the Alchemy Tower if he could marry Jing’er off to him?
It was a beautiful idea, but reality was harsh.
Third Young Master Xiao thought well, but he did not consider whether others would agree.
…
In the Central State Academy, within the back mountain, following the spread of a powerful aura, a purple figure suddenly appeared and stood still in the void.
A slight lift at the corner of his lips, he held a charm that curved upwards, “I’ve been in closed-door cultivation for months now; Mu Ruyue should have gone to the Imperial City, and it is time I went looking for her.”
Suddenly, his gaze sharpened, and a cold light flashed through his purple eyes.
“Who’s there?” he demanded.
The evening breeze brushed the man’s hair, making this dark night feel so serene.
Under the moonlight, a somewhat blurry figure flashed in front of him. Although he could not see the woman’s face clearly, he still sensed a sorrowful atmosphere around her.
But in this world, aside from Mu Ruyue, no one else could move his heart.
“Void Transmission?” the man’s lips curled up, and the patterns on his handsome face became more enchantingly sinister with a chilling feel, “Zi Feng, you’ve gotten smarter, choosing not to appear in front of this King in your true form but using ‘Void Transmission’ instead.”
Void Transmission was an ability that allowed one to send an image of oneself while leaving the body in the original place, therefore rendering her unkillable…
“Brother Zi Huang,” the woman sorrowfully chuckled, her voice filled with agony, “have you recovered your memory? Right?”
Coldness flashed in Ye Wuchen’s purple eyes, his expression darkened as he stared at the virtual image before him. At this moment, a powerful momentum surged from his body like waves rolling in the sand.
“Zi Feng, I should have killed you back then!”
“But you won’t,” the woman smiled, “because before I exposed my feelings for you, I took away the lifeline of the Zi Family. Only then could I fully express my heart to you. Otherwise, a heartless and ruthless man like you would not have spared me. Thus, I had to do it this way. Only by holding the Zi Family’s lifeline could I ensure you wouldn’t kill me for the sake of saving over a thousand lives of the Zi Family. It’s ridiculous that by threatening you with the Zi Family’s lifeline, you still refused to take me as your concubine! I only wanted to be your concubine, to serve you, and had no intention of usurping her position. Why couldn’t you even grant me this small request? Brother Zi Huang, you are truly heartless, all those years I spent with the Zi Family could not compare to her, an outsider.”
For her, this man could commit the most heinous of crimes without a second thought…
Zi Feng’s heart trembled, her bitter smile deepening.
If she could receive all of Brother Zi Huang’s love, this lifetime would be enough…
“In this life and the next, I, Ye Wuchen, will only have one woman, forever unbetrayed!”
The man’s voice was as pleasant as ever, yet it caused Zi Feng’s heart to tremble…
“Brother Zi Huang, I came here to tell you something,” Zi Feng suppressed the pain inside her, looking up at Ye Wuchen, “do you know where the Zi Family has gone?”
