Chapter 441: Chapter 443 I Will Take Responsibility for You (Part One)
Mu Ruyue watched with icy eyes as people approached her. Her gaze was so sharp it could slice through steel, and just as she was about to make a move, a harsh and cold shout suddenly pierced the sky and reached everyone’s ears.
“Stop!”
The familiar voice made Mu Ruyue slightly tremble, and she looked up in that direction. In an instant, a face as if sculpted by knives, exquisitely perfect, was reflected in her eyes.
The man obviously saw him too. His deep, cold eyes filled with excitement, and in a flash, he appeared in front of Mu Ruyue.
He quietly stared at the face before him, a ripple of emotion crossing his handsome features, perhaps due to the intense excitement that made his voice tremble slightly.
“Sister, are you alright?”
Heaven knows how anxious he had been when he learned that his sister had disappeared with her strength sealed and whereabouts unknown. Now, seeing her safe and sound finally settled his heart…
She was fine, and that was truly wonderful.
Xiao Feng raised his arm to pull Mu Ruyue into his embrace, his large hand pressing her head tightly against his chest. He spoke with a choked voice, “Yue’er, do you know how worried we were about you? Disappearing without a trace, your strength even sealed. How could you survive in the Central Province without your strength? Thus, I and your brother-in-law came looking for you, and seeing you safe, I was relieved…”
“Big Brother Xiao Feng…”
Mu Ruyue slowly lowered her eyes.
Unlike the embrace of Ye Wuchen, this was a feeling of being connected by blood, because this man was her elder brother, the same blood flowing through their bodies.
“Sister, there are some matters I need to handle first,” Xiao Feng let go of her and his cold gaze swept towards Third Master Xiao, scoffing coldly, “Were you just about to lay a hand on my sister?”
Third Master Xiao’s face slightly changed, “She burst into the Xiao Family’s residence unexpectedly!”
Upon hearing this, Xiao Feng narrowed his eyes, a cold gleam shooting from their depths, “As long as Xiao Feng is here, I dare anyone to touch her even slightly!”
Before she had come, he could ignore these provocations, but now, he needed to protect the sister standing behind him, and he had to step forward.
“Xiao Feng, my father kindly let you return to our Xiao Family, but he never said she was allowed back! A descendant of a disabled, what right does she have to rejoin our Xiao Family?”
Xiao Feng did not speak.
A wild wind slowly rose from his body, his black robe fluttering lightly amid the wind. Gradually, his aura grew more and more powerful, to the extent that it drew looks of astonishment from everyone present.
Innate Perfection!
The eyes of the crowd changed.
Truth be told, Xiao Feng had been in the Xiao Family for quite some time, with no one aware of his strength. This man was always silent and unchanging, even in the face of insults.
And now, he had actually reached Innate Perfection?
Xiao Feng was only about twenty-three or twenty-four, right?
Mu Ruyue’s eyes showed a trace of surprise. Her big brother had actually reached Innate Perfection? What opportunities had he encountered after entering the Central Province?
Third Master Xiao’s face suddenly turned ashen, his dark gaze firmly fixed on Xiao Feng.
As a fellow at the level of Innate Perfection, Third Master Xiao’s strength had yet to reach saturation, still a vast distance from the Dark Origin Realm, while Xiao Feng had already reached that threshold.
That is to say, with just one opportunity, he could break through to the Dark Origin Realm…
