Meng Fuyao rubbed her fingers silently in her sleeves to wipe off the sweat on her fingertips. She calmly turned around and stared into Pei Yuan's murderous eyes. "Pei … Yuan …"
"So it's you." Pei Yuan's gaze swept over her body like a brush. "I find your figure familiar … Meng Fuyao, you're not dead."
"How would I dare to die if you're not?" Meng Fuyao laughed. "I haven't had the chance to take my revenge."
Pei Yuan had already taken a step forward, but she paused upon hearing her words. She thought for a moment and sneered. "What are you pretending for? Haven't you already taken your revenge? Do you dare to say that the wound on my face isn't your doing? "
"Why wouldn't I dare to say it?" Meng Fuyao took a step forward instead of retreating. She lifted her gaze and stared straight into Pei Yuan's eyes. Her clear eyes did not retreat in the face of Pei Yuan's cold, murderous gaze. "I really hope that the wonderful scar on your face is my doing. Look at that cross. How delightful."
"You!" Pei Yuan's body trembled slightly, and her teeth chattered under her veil. However, the doubt in her eyes deepened. Meng Fuyao's extraordinary calmness made the naturally suspicious Pei Yuan hesitate. She clenched her teeth and pondered for a moment. Suddenly, her gaze sharpened. "That's not right! We didn't meet after you fell off the cliff, and I'm wearing a veil now. How would you know that there's a cross on my face? "
Meng Fuyao had been waiting for this sentence, but her face revealed a flustered expression. She took a step back in silence. How could Pei Yuan let it go? She quickly stepped forward. "Speak! How did you know? "
Meng Fuyao hid her hands in her sleeves and tilted her head to look at her. "Hey, Pei Yuan, aren't you afraid that I'll kill you for getting so close to me?"
Meng Fuyao's reminder reminded her that her martial arts were superior to hers. She hesitated for a moment before taking a step back. "If we were anywhere else, I'd have to be careful of you. Unfortunately, we're in the Taiyuan Imperial Palace. The Imperial Guards on duty are thirty steps away. You'd better watch out for yourself, Meng Fuyao."
Meng Fuyao crossed her arms and leaned against the pillar. "Come on, smash me to a pulp. Or, kill me quietly like you did last time. Then, congratulations, you'll never know the real enemy who ruined your life."
"My true enemy is you." Pei Yuan's eyes flickered as she looked her up and down. "Don't waste your time trying to play tricks in front of me."
Meng Fuyao looked at her from the corner of her eye and suddenly laughed. She straightened her back and curled her finger frivolously. "Pei Yuan, you're actually confused, aren't you? Otherwise, you'd have done it long ago. Why are you still talking nonsense? You're not stupid. You know that I was seriously injured that night. Even if I didn't die after falling off the cliff, I couldn't have recovered so quickly to assassinate you. Am I right? "
Pei Yuan's eyes narrowed. This was exactly what she was worried about. However, Meng Fuyao was the only enemy she had made that night. If it wasn't for her, how could there have been such a coincidence?
"To tell you the truth," Meng Fuyao, who had been observing Pei Yuan's expression all this time, could tell what she was thinking. She smiled even more nonchalantly. "I was saved that night, and the person who saved me was your enemy. Saving me was just a matter of convenience, but killing you was necessary."
"Who was it?"
"Why should I tell you? So that you can kill me after I tell you? " Meng Fuyao leaned against the pillar and shook her head vigorously. "Pei Yuan, do you think I'm like you? Brainless?"
Pei Yuan didn't understand what Meng Fuyao was talking about, but her instincts told her that it wasn't something good. She frowned and said angrily, "I'll take you down first!"
Meng Fuyao spread out her hands.
"Come, come. Do you believe that the moment you call for your guards, I will definitely be able to draw another cross for you?"
Pei Yuan's voice was about to leave her mouth when she suddenly stopped. She opened her mouth and hesitated for a moment.
Meng Fuyao laughed wildly, her eyes brimming with confidence. She opened her palm with her little finger slightly raised and three fingers spread out. It was a very strange gesture. Pei Yuan had never seen such a gesture before, and she was even more shocked by Fuyao's indifferent attitude. "Men!" The words rolled on the tip of his tongue several times, but he didn't say them out loud.
Meng Fuyao was still smiling. Under the sunlight, her smile was as bright as a top-grade snow satin from the Xuanji Kingdom. It was pure, clean, and as smooth as the clouds. Her smile flowed through the deep purple hibiscus and yellow imperial chrysanthemums of the Taiyuan Imperial Palace. It was like a flowing spring, and wherever it passed, there would be verdant trees.
No one knew that there was already a thin layer of sweat between her fingers that was spread open.
When the wind blew, it chilled her from the tips of her fingers to the soles of her feet.
Pei Yuan had always been vicious. Even if she believed that Meng Fuyao wasn't the murderer, she would still want to capture her. Given her current perverted state of mind, there was no guarantee that she wouldn't give her a cross as well.
She could only try her best to act like a wolf and hope that Meng Fuyao would be cautious and suspicious.
Pei Yuan's gaze never left Meng Fuyao's face. Her eyes flickered, and her feet finally moved slightly.
Meng Fuyao took a step back.
Meng Fuyao stood still like a boulder, suppressing her urge to dash forward when Pei Yuan retreated.
Pei Yuan stared at the mysterious Nine Heavens Cleaving Palm Technique. Her gaze fluctuated as she retreated again and again.
Gradually, they were out of range where they could threaten each other.
Meng Fuyao breathed a silent sigh of relief and moved her body without batting an eyelid. The sweat on her back stuck to her clothes and rustled.
Pei Yuan looked at her coldly. "Tell me who hurt me, and I swear I won't touch you for the rest of my life. Otherwise, I won't let you leave unscathed, even if it means getting hurt."
Meng Fuyao blinked. "Really?"
"Of course," Pei Yuan replied proudly. "I've never gone back on my word."
"Swear it." Meng Fuyao laughed. "If you go back on your word, the cross on your face will split again, and your whole body will be covered in circles. Your whole family will be covered in circles."
"You …" Pei Yuan was so angry that she fell backward. She clenched her teeth for a while and actually swore the same thing. When Meng Fuyao heard the words "my whole family will be covered in circles", she laughed maniacally inside, but maintained a solemn expression. "Hey, I'm telling you, don't tell anyone that I said it. It's not human at all, and I don't want to offend it."
"Who is it?" Pei Yuan asked through gritted teeth, as if sparks were flying in her voice.
"His surname is Yuan, and his name is Bao," Meng Fuyao answered seriously.
Somewhere far away, Lord Ingot suddenly sneezed.
"Yuan Bao?" Pei Yuan repeated with a frown. "This name …"
"The name is just a codename. I heard that it's an unworldly expert hired by your family's enemy, the Yun Family. Ordinary people wouldn't have heard of it." Meng Fuyao smiled. 'Yuan Bao, how dare you bully others? I'll frame you. You're indeed not human, and you're also responsible for Pei Yuan's injury. '
Pei Yuan gradually believed her words. "Who cares if he's an unworldly expert? If I don't get my revenge, I'm not human!"
She looked at Meng Fuyao unwillingly. She thought about how Yan Jingchen didn't know that she was disfigured, but he was still distracted when he was with her. She secretly hated him. It was a pity that Meng Fuyao's martial arts were higher than hers, and Jingchen was nearby. She didn't have the confidence to kill him in one blow, or else …
Before she could finish her thoughts, a silhouette appeared in the distance. The sound of a person's voice was like metal.
