Long Fei Ye's words stunned the three women present. Murong Wanru couldn't believe her ears. The Duke of Qin, he … he came back not to attend her wedding, but to take Han Yunxi away?
No!
She couldn't accept it. How could the Duke of Qin do this?!
Han Yunxi was caught off guard as well. She almost burst out laughing. This guy had simply come back to "add to the chaos." So much for Murong Wanru showing off just then!
Fine, she admitted that she'd let it go. Right now, she was willing to forgive him for being absent last time.
Han Yunxi looked towards Murong Wanru, who happened to be looking back. Han Yunxi couldn't help but muffle her mouth. Anyone could tell that she was secretly laughing!
Murong Wanru was flustered and exasperated. Her shame turned to anger as her bottom line finally collapsed. Her eyes turned red as she looked towards Grand Concubine Yi and threw a tantrum. "Mufei, look, the Duke of Qin is bullying people!"
After all, Murong Wanru was a white lotus, especially in front of the Duke of Qin. She'd never thrown a tantrum in her life, but this time she couldn't hold back. It was obvious how hurt she'd been.
As it turned out, Long Fei Ye hated women who complained and acted coquettishly at the slightest provocation. Even if he bullied women, he wouldn't bully them so casually.
Impatience flitted past his eyes. He didn't even want to spare Murong Wanru another glance.
But Grand Concubine Yi couldn't take it. She'd only seen Wanru smile tonight, so how could she bear to see her upset again?
"Feiye, you've gone too far! Wanru's getting married tomorrow. That's a big event, so how could you be absent as her older brother? No matter how important it is, it's not as important as tomorrow! No one's allowed to leave tonight! "Grand Concubine Yi ordered.
"Erchen's matters are very urgent, may mufei forgive me."
Long Fei Ye's patience was limited. He glanced at Han Yunxi as he spoke before turning to leave.
"Stop right there!"
Grand Concubine Yi finally lost her temper. She chased after Long Fei Ye and blocked his way. "Feiye, aren't you going to listen to mufei's words? What could be more important than Wanru's marriage? Why don't you tell me? "
"Private matters. It's very urgent, so we have to leave," Long Fei Ye was a man of few words, but his tone was even tougher than Grand Concubine Yi's.
"And if mufei insists that you stay?" Grand Concubine Yi didn't budge an inch.
"Imperial Mother, please forgive me." Long Fei Ye said and insisted on leaving.
Mother and son were at loggerheads. She didn't know if this was the first time. At this time, it was usually Bai Lianhua who came out to be the peacemaker. However, Murong Wanru stood in place, looking at the Duke of Qin with hidden bitterness. She felt so wronged that she had no choice but to get married. Could it be that the Duke of Qin couldn't treat her better?
She didn't say a word, waiting to see if Grand Concubine Yi would comfort her.
Han Yunxi's eyes flashed craftily before she quickly stepped forward to take Grand Concubine Yi's hand. "Mufei, His Highness must have a secret order on him that can't be disobeyed. It's also inconvenient to reveal it. Otherwise, His Highness would've come back much earlier instead of now."
Han Yunxi paused. Seeing that Grand Concubine Yi didn't retort immediately, she knew there was hope.
Grand Concubine Yi's love for her son was well-known throughout the imperial clan. Moreover, she relied on him to achieve her current power and status.
Would she really make things difficult for him for the sake of an adopted daughter?
"Mufei, didn't little sister Wanru say just then that His Highness rushing back was already the best present? She's already very happy. I'm sure little sister Wanru will understand the Duke of Qin," Han Yunxi coaxed again.
Of course Grand Concubine Yi knew and understood all of this, but she didn't want to compromise this time. Wanru's marriage was too unjust. The Duke of Qin couldn't ignore her any longer.
If the Duke of Qin attended the wedding, it would at least tell the world that Wanru was valued despite being an adopted daughter. She had someone to rely on and wasn't easy to bully.
"No matter what …"
Han Yunxi was surprised by Grand Concubine Yi's stubbornness. She thought the woman was just being impulsive and needed a way to step down, but never expected her to really compete with her own son for the sake of an adopted daughter.
Han Yunxi didn't have time to think about the strangeness of the situation. She quickly gripped Grand Concubine Yi's hand and lowered her voice. "Mufei, don't forget that Zhangsun Che still has to rely on the Duke of Qin. That's the most important thing!"
Her reminder finally calmed Grand Concubine Yi down. A complicated look flitted past her eyes. She understood the Duke of Qin's temper best. If he was pushed to a corner, he wouldn't even stay behind. Even Zhangsun Che's affairs would be out of the question.
The wedding was only temporary, but Zhangsun Che's future prospects would affect Wanru's entire life!
"Mufei, the Duke of Qin and I will go and come back quickly. Just let us go," Han Yunxi continued to lay out the stairs.
Although Grand Concubine Yi was in a difficult position, she had no choice but to step aside and say, "Go quickly and come back quickly. Try to make it back in time for the banquet in three days."
"Many thanks to mufei!" Han Yunxi rejoiced as she winked at Long Fei Ye with a smile. Long Fei Ye didn't say much, but turned to leave.
Han Yunxi quickly chased after him while Grand Concubine Yi sighed helplessly. As soon as she turned around, she saw Murong Wanru sobbing soundlessly behind her.
"Wanru …"
Grand Concubine Yi's heart clenched. She was about to explain when Murong Wanru stomped her foot and turned to run away.
An adopted daughter was an adopted daughter. Today, she finally saw clearly that no matter how good Grand Concubine Yi was to her and treated her like her own daughter, she was still an adopted daughter in the end. Han Yunxi had married into the family while she was married out. In the end, she'd become an outsider!
Grand Concubine Yi, you can't even satisfy such a small wish of mine. What right do you have to say that I'm your own daughter every day? If you're heartless to me, then don't blame me for being unjust to you!
Han Yunxi had already followed Long Fei Ye out the back door of the Duke of Qin's estate, but she was still smiling. She still couldn't believe that Long Fei Ye had chosen to take her away at a time like this.
Murong Wanru really reaped what she'd sown. If she'd known her place from the start, how could she have ended up like this?
Rather than blame the heavens and accuse others, it was better to reflect on herself.
Long Fei Ye suddenly stopped. "What are you smiling about?"
Han Yunxi recovered her senses and coughed lightly. "It's … it's nothing."
"Do you know what your lordship wants to take you to do?" Long Fei Ye asked next.
Urk … fine. She'd only wanted to leave and was overjoyed. She hadn't thought of this question.
Where to? What to do?
But she didn't need to think too much about it. This guy wouldn't visit a temple without a cause. What else could he want from her?
"Detoxification, of course …" Han Yunxi said mildly.
But Long Fei Ye only said, "Poison!"
Poison?
"You want to harm someone?" Han Yunxi's face was full of astonishment.
"Kill someone."
Long Fei Ye was expressionless as he mounted his horse and extended a hand towards Han Yunxi.
"What's going on?" Han Yunxi looked at him suspiciously, not moving.
"You still owe me a favor. Take care of this and we'll be even," Long Fei Ye said.
At this time, Han Yunxi finally noticed that something was wrong with this guy. The usually calm him seemed to be a bit impatient today.
Last time, when she'd begged him to take her to Medicine City, she had indeed owed him a favor. It was just that last time, he'd asked her who wanted to be even with her. This time, he wanted to be even with her.
Han Yunxi pursed her lips and stretched her hand out. If he didn't say anything, she couldn't be bothered to ask.
As soon as she mounted the horse, he wrapped his arm around her waist. It was so natural that she didn't pay much attention to it. It was as if she was used to it.
Poison …
Actually, it was as simple as detoxification for her. However, reality proved that this was purely Han Yunxi's wishful thinking.
After a night of galloping, Long Fei Ye actually brought Han Yunxi to an abandoned courtyard in the wilderness.
If it was someone else who brought her here, Han Yunxi would definitely suspect that she was being kidnapped and sold. However, it was Long Fei Ye. Fine, she was overthinking it.
As soon as she entered the room, she saw an extremely good-looking back. Han Yunxi never thought that a man's back could be so good-looking. It was as if the phrase "back view killer" was created just for him.
His figure was tall, thin, and handsome. His clothes were whiter than snow, and his ink-black hair was casually tied up with a white jade hairpin. It was like an ink painting frozen in a desolate courtyard. One black and one white, it formed a world of its own.
"Tang Li, did you bring everything?" Long Fei Ye's cold voice broke the silence of this ink painting world.
Only then did the man named Tang Li turn around and look at Han Yunxi.
Han Yunxi was shocked once again. That was an otherworldly face. Although it wasn't as handsome as Long Fei Ye, it had the same cold aura as Long Fei Ye. However, Long Fei Ye's coldness was cold, solemn, and cruel. On the other hand, his coldness was a kind of purity that made people only dare to look at him from afar.
Tang Li lightly flicked his sleeve on the stone table, and rows of golden needles appeared out of thin air.
Han Yunxi frowned and looked over. She saw that these golden needles were of different thicknesses, lengths, and shapes. They were definitely not medical needles, nor were they embroidery needles. Without a doubt, these were hidden weapons!
This guy's surname was Tang. Could it be that he was from the Tang Sect? And these hidden weapons were the legendary Tang Sect's hidden weapons?
The Tang Sect was neither righteous nor evil. They didn't interact with people from the righteous sects, but they also disdained to associate with those from the evil sects. They had always been alone and stood aloof from worldly affairs. However, the world coveted the Tang Sect for no other reason than the power of the Tang Sect's hidden weapons.
Han Yunxi was shocked. However, Long Fei Ye casually took a few golden needles and threw them away after a glance. He said with disdain, "These will take a long time to learn. Do you have any ready-made ones that can be used?"
"No." Tang Li was very straightforward.
"What about the Pear Blossom Storm Needles?" Long Fei Ye asked.
As soon as he said this, Han Yunxi immediately sucked in a breath of cold air. Even if she didn't have common sense, she still knew what the Pear Blossom Storm Needles were. This was the second hidden weapon of the Tang Sect. It was said that there were only two of them in existence.
Oh my god … What was Long Fei Ye trying to do?
Tang Li suddenly frowned. His celestial-like cold expression immediately changed. "Impossible!"
Long Fei Ye unceremoniously stretched out his hand. "I'm temporarily borrowing it. Give it to me."
Tang Li gritted his teeth and angrily asked, "That thing is gone once it's used! How do I borrow it? "
There were a total of 27 golden needles hidden in the Pear Blossom Storm Needles. They could be fired one by one or multiple at the same time. As long as one learned the technique, they would be able to use it. Because of the special design, the strength and speed of each golden needle fired was very shocking. The strength was enough to pierce through stone. As for the speed, there were very few experts in the world who could dodge it. However, if one of these things was fired, it would be gone forever!
Seeing Tang Li's angry and boorish appearance, Han Yunxi was a little stunned.
Basically, the truth would be revealed as soon as he turned around. And when this guy opened his mouth, it was also the truth. He wasn't some otherworldly celestial man. He was just a little better looking …
"It's not like I'll use them all up." Long Fei Ye didn't think much of it.
These words made Tang Li even angrier. "Long Fei Ye, if you want to deal with that group of people, I can go with you. Why bring a burden along?"
Burden?
Was he talking about her?
At this moment, Han Yunxi's last remaining good impression of Tang Li instantly disappeared. You really couldn't judge a book by its cover, especially a man!
