Chapter 261: Chapter 261 Turmoil is Brewing (Part 1) Chapter 261: Chapter 261 Turmoil is Brewing (Part 1) That woman still held a leverage in her hand; even if she had lost her memory, she could threaten her as long as she produced that leverage.
Feng Jingtian looked at her somberly, “I have no intention of collaborating with a woman like you.”
“Why?” Nangong Zifeng’s expression drastically changed, unable to refrain from asking.
Why was he unwilling to cooperate with her?
“Because it’s not safe. Collaborating with you, I wouldn’t know when you might stab me in the back.”
The moment Feng Jingtian saw this woman, he felt a sense of dread, and he would never collaborate with such a woman, nor was he willing to.
After saying these words, without even a glance at Nangong Zifeng, whose face was icy cold, he disappeared from the mountaintop in a flash.
Nangong Zifeng clenched her fists tightly; her expression grew even colder; still, she eventually said nothing and just watched coldly as Feng Jingtian vanished into the distance…
The wedding of Mu Ruyue and Ye Wuchen caused a sensation, and the couple was even touted as a match made in heaven. Compared to the bustling Xiao Family, the South Island Wu Family seemed to have declined significantly.
Perhaps because the Xiao Family’s power was too great, and also because Wu Qingxue had saved Xiao Feng’s life, the Xiao Family did not take harsh actions against the Wu Family, only dealing with Lin Yue, who nearly killed Xiao Feng.
However, the incident at the wedding banquet spread, making the entire South Island aware of the foolish acts of the Wu Family. While they mocked the Wu Family, some families also attacked the Wu Family to curry favor with the Xiao Family.
Even though the Xiao Family did not take any significant actions in the end, the Wu Family was clearly devastated and unlikely to recover. Eventually, the father and daughter regretted their decisions immensely.
If it were not for their previous abandonment, Wu Qingxue would have been the Young Madam of the Xiao Family by now, and the Wu Family would have risen with the tides. Sadly, regret was futile by then…
The situation here had long been relayed to the Xiao Family through certain channels, and it was no secret it was those families trying to ingratiate themselves. Upon hearing this, Madam Sheng Yue merely smiled and said nothing, unwilling to act against the Wu Family due to the lifesaving grace bestowed upon Xiao Feng; ultimately, she chose not to interfere like a saint with the fate of the Wu Family.
While the Wu Family had saved Xiao Feng, they had also nearly cost her son his life…
“Yue’er, it’s been a while since you and Wuchen got married, I wonder if there’s any…” Madam Sheng Yue’s gaze swept over Mu Ruyue’s stomach, her smile brimming with insinuation.
On the night of their wedding, she stopped Qingqing from interrupting, also hoping for grandchildren soon, eager to experience that tender, wriggling feeling once more.
Mu Ruyue’s face showed a hint of embarrassment, “Mother, things can’t happen so quickly. We’ve only been married for less than half a month; besides, we might have to leave soon.”
Madam Sheng Yue’s smile froze at the corner of her lips, with a trace of reluctance in her eyes, “Where are you going?”
That was the place she was meant to head to.
Mu Ruyue smiled lightly, “Don’t worry, I’ll come back soon. There are some mysteries there I need to unravel. Once the fog clears, I’ll return home.”
In that moment, she seemed to see Bai Ze’s sorrowful eyes before her eyes.
For some reason, she always felt that man gave her a sense of deja vu…
“Yue’er, no matter what, be careful when you’re out there. You should know…”
The Shitian Team would be waiting for you back here at the Holy Realm Xiao Family, this place is your eternal home, always your support system.”
The words of Madam Sheng Yue warmed Mu Ruyue’s heart, she nodded with a smile, “I know. By the way, mother, after I leave, I would like to bring the Shitian Team to the Holy Realm to let them cultivate at the Holy Spirit Spring.”
