Mu Yanfeng looked at Ye Ruge and snorted coldly. "Do you think you can make Qingqing stay?"
Ye Ruge retracted her whip and smiled arrogantly. "Won't you know once you try?"
Mu Yanfeng's expression darkened. He was about to make a move.
At this moment, a low and melodious voice rang out. "Young Master Mu, have you asked for my opinion before you take Qingqing away?"
Jun Xiqing turned around. It was her brother, Dongfang Yu.
"Brother, why are you here too?" Jun Xiqing quickly ran to Dongfang Yu's side.
Dongfang Yu stroked Jun Xiqing's long hair. "Lu Yeming left me a message before he left, asking me to protect you."
Tears welled up in Jun Xiqing's eyes, but she quickly forced them back. It wasn't hard to guess that her brother had already joined forces with Lu Yeming. This time, Lu Yeming had come to the Mu Family Castle with the identity of the fake Young Master and her brother was also involved. Did her brother know something?
"Brother, who exactly is Mu Yanfeng?"
Dongfang Yu took a step forward and shielded Jun Xiqing behind him. He looked at Mu Yanfeng. "Young Master Mu, you are the descendant of Nine Underworlds, right?"
What?
Jun Xiqing sucked in a cold breath.
Mu Yanfeng's expression changed and became extremely gloomy.
Dongfang Yu narrowed his eyes. "Actually, Lu Yeming and I have guessed your identity a long time ago. Nine Underworlds had an internal conflict many years ago and a branch was born. This branch was ambitious and wanted to unify Country A. So 26 years ago, when Lu Yeming was still the Crown Prince, this branch took advantage of Dongfang Wanqing and the High Priest's rebellion to poison Lu Yeming. Unfortunately, the poison wasn't strong enough and only managed to make Lu Yeming lose his voice, causing him to be mute for many years.
"After that, this branch was chased out by Nine Underworlds and slowly became the Mu Family. The Young Master of the Mu Family Castle, Mu Yanfeng, is the descendant of this branch.
"Young Master Mu, you have always followed the orders of your ancestors and treated Lu Yeming as your mortal enemy. You wanted to get rid of him and take away his empire. Six years ago, you even used the Mu Family to imprison me and instigated a fight between me and Lu Yeming so that you could reap the benefits from the shadows. All of this was part of your plan. You wanted Country A and Nine Nether. You were really ambitious."
You are really ambitious. "Jun Xiqing understood everything now.
Lu Yeming had been a mute for 18 years, but it turned out that he had been poisoned into a mute by the descendant of Nine Nether!
It was no wonder that Lu Yeming had always treated Jiu You as his territory all these years. He had even schemed against her brother time and time again, causing Bai Ling to fall into a deep sleep, not allowing her to return to Jiu You.
She had fought with Lu Yeming to the point where she was covered in wounds, but this Mu Yanfeng had been spying on them all this while. This was all part of his scheme.
Mu Yanfeng was only thirty years old this year, yet he was so shrewd. So he was a descendant of that branch family.
Jun Xiqing was stunned.
Mu Yanfeng's handsome face was filled with malice as he glared at Dongfang Yu hatefully. "Back then, when the Crown Prince of Country A was lost, Nine Nethers took over Country A. Originally, it should have been easy for us to seize it, but you were too kind and too cowardly. You were so useless that you actually chased us out."
"From the moment I was born, I wanted to accomplish what my ancestors were unable to accomplish. You and Lu Yeming are obstacles in my path to success!"
Mu Yanfeng admitted it.
So this was his goal.
Dongfang Yu curled his thin lips. "You're just trying to satisfy your own selfish desires. You didn't hesitate to sacrifice the lives of the world to be your stepping stones. Mu Yanfeng, we need to settle our scores."
Ye Ruge also took a step forward and the whip in her hand drew a sharp arc in the air. "Mu Yanfeng, I want you to accompany His Highness in death today!"
Mu Yanfeng looked at the two of them. Dongfang Yu and Ye Ruge, he had no chance of winning.
"I don't have time to play with you today. Let's meet another day."
With a flick of his sleeve, Mu Yanfeng quickly disappeared from everyone's sight.
Mu Yanfeng had actually run away!
Ye Ruge was so angry that her teeth were itching. "Running away without a fight, what a coward. I'm going to catch him right now!"
Ye Ruge was about to chase after Mu Yanfeng.
"Miss Ye, don't chase after him." Dongfang Yu stopped her in time. "Now that his plan has been exposed, don't chase after him."
Ye Ruge quickly retracted her whip. "That's right, the most important thing now is to find His Highness. His Highness has already entered the Dark Forest for a long time."
Jun Xiqing looked at the Dark Forest in front of her. She was inside and Lu Yeming was still inside.
How was he?
If he could come out, he would have come out long ago. Since he hadn't come out yet, did that mean he would never come out again?
Jun Xiqing lifted her feet and walked forward.
At this moment, Dongfang Yu quickly reached out and grasped her slender wrist. "Qingqing, what are you doing?"
Jun Xiqing stopped in her tracks. Her face was as white as a sheet and her eyes were red. She looked like she had lost her soul.
"Qingqing, Lu Yeming has entered the Dark Forest. I know you're worried but don't do anything stupid. You can't go in, do you understand?" Dongfang Yu said sternly.
Ye Ruge walked over and looked at Jun Xiqing coldly. "Jun Xiqing, the Dark Forest is extremely dangerous. Fan Men has already entered with his men. At this critical juncture, don't create more trouble for His Highness!"
Ye Ruge's tone was filled with disdain.
But Jun Xiqing's heart warmed. She knew that Ye Ruge really wanted to protect her.
Wah, wah ~
At this moment, she heard a tender and clear cry. The confinement nanny came out with Little Pipi in her arms. "Miss Jun, where have you been? I don't know what's wrong with Little Pipi tonight. He refused to sleep and kept crying. Just listen to him, his voice is going hoarse."
Jun Xiqing quickly hugged Little Pipi in her arms. Little Pipi's face was covered in tears and his lips were pouting as he sobbed.
Little Pipi was a very intelligent child. He seemed to know that Daddy had entered the Dark Forest and wasn't coming back.
Jun Xiqing lowered her head and kissed Little Pipi's forehead.
"Qingqing, he's innocent. Lu Yeming hasn't come back yet. As his mother, you can't abandon him," Dongfang Yu said worriedly.
Jun Xiqing's long lashes fluttered and two drops of tears fell onto Little Pipi's face. She didn't lift her head, only sobbing. "Brother, I understand. You don't have to worry."
With that, Jun Xiqing carried Little Pipi into the forest.
Dongfang Yu looked at his sister's delicate figure and his brows were deeply furrowed. He could only hope that Little Pipi could stop Qingqing in her tracks.
…
Half an hour later.
Ye Ruge found Dongfang Yu. "Young Master Yu, bad news. Jun Xiqing is missing!"
What?
Dongfang Yu's pupils contracted and he slowly pursed his lips. It seemed like even Little Pipi wasn't able to stop Qingqing. Qingqing had entered the Dark Forest!
