Chapter 367: Betrayed by the White Moonlight
ness gracious! There must be countless monks residing there today. I hope they all remain safe and well..."Xiao Yu Ge let out a soft sigh. She had already left a letter for Master Kongjian, If Master...“He always wears a mask, what’s there to be afraid of Besides, he’s been so good to me, better than anyone else.” Perhaps even Xiao Yuge herself didn’t realize that when she mentioned Qian Tingxuan, the corner of her mouth would unconsciously twitch upwards.
"But he..." Mu Huan still couldn't get past that hurdle: "However, it seems he genuinely likes you. Because every time you appear, there is no one else in his eyes. Still, I think my third brother is better than him." She always felt that her third brother was more compatible with Xiao Yuge.
Xiao Yuge just smiled, then changed the subject: "By the way, what were you saying just now Did you want me to dance with you"
"Oh, yes, yes, you agree"
Xiao Yu’s eyes turned slightly as she thought for a moment, then said: “If you’re willing to tell me about your regent uncle and that saintess Shui Binglan, I’ll consider it.”
"What's so hard about that If you want to hear, I'll tell you." Mu Huan readily agreed upon hearing this. "The Regent King Uncle was the previous War God of our Tianzhu Kingdom. When he was young, he was handsome and dashing, almost the dream lover of all girls in Tianzhu Kingdom; while Shui Binglan was the Saintess at that time. It is said that she was intelligent like ice and snow, and beautiful beyond compare. One was a child of heaven, and the other a jewel of heaven. They fell in love..."
Ning Feng perhaps wouldn't have thought in his lifetime that Xiao Yu Fu would betray his whereabouts just to take credit before Qian Si Chen!
"Ning Feng, imperial orders are not to be defied. Last time I let you escape, this time, you can't escape. Surrender!" Qian Si Chen personally led people into Yaowanggu to capture them.
Ning Feng turned back for a glance. Behind him was a chasm of ten thousand zhang, and in front of him were pursuers. Today, they couldn't escape no matter what, and he didn't want to escape anymore: "Your Highness, you and I were once as close as brothers. I know treason is punishable by death, but Hua'er doesn't know anything about it. I hope you will consider our past friendship and let her go!"
"No, Brother!" Ninghua panicked: "We have to walk together, and die together!"
"Listen, little girl!"
Qi'an hesitated for a moment, then shook her head. "This palace can't agree to you. You know treason is punishable by the extermination of nine clans, and Father Emperor would never spare her." Although years of affection remained, imperial decree couldn't be defied.
"You!" Ning Feng hadn't expected Qian Si Chen to disregard their past feelings.
"Brother, don't ask him, I'm not afraid of death! It's better to die than to live like this, hiding all the time!" Ninghua looked resolute and prepared for death.
Ning Feng saw through her determination and also the coldness in Qian Si Chen's eyes. He nodded and voiced his concern: "One question, did Fu’er betray us"
Qian Si Chen pursed her lips, hesitated for a long time before saying, "Yes!"
"Sure enough, it's her! I knew she couldn't be trusted!" Ning Hua's eyes were blazing with anger. If Xiao Yu Fu was here right now, she feared she would tear her apart.
Ning Feng's body trembled. The white moonlight in his heart, the one he cherished above all else, had finally shattered before him in this way. It was his own foolishness, his own clumsiness that led to this. He had believed her time and time again, even dragging his own sister into this mess.
“Last thing, I hope you can protect Ge’er well. She doesn't know anything; we coerced her into bringing us here. Everything has nothing to do with her!” At this moment, Ning Feng finally knew who he owed the most. He closed his eyes, his voice seeming to come from afar: “Tell her, I owe her an apology!”
"This palace will marry Ge'er, so you needn't say anything; I will protect her well." Even at this point, Qian Si Chen didn't forget to add a barb.
Although Ning Feng felt that Qian Simin was not worthy of Ge'er, at this moment, it seemed that besides Qian Simin, no one could protect Ge'er. So, his lips moved, but he ultimately didn't say anything.
He held Ninghua's hand: "Ninghua, are you afraid"
"With Big Brother here, I'm not afraid!" Ninghua held onto his hand tightly.
"Little sister, this life brother wasn't able to protect you well. In the next life, let us be siblings again!" Ning Feng finished speaking, grabbed Ning Hua, and suddenly leaped, jumping off the precipice of ten thousand zhang deep.
In the moment he lost consciousness, Ning Feng seemed to see Ge'er. He reached out to her with all his might: "Ge'er, I still owe you an apology. If there is an afterlife, I will repay you with my life!"
"Ning Feng!" When Qian Si Chen chased after him, Ning Feng and his younger sister were already gone. The fog at the foot of the cliff was thick and heavy, disappearing into the depths. But they both knew that if someone fell from such a high cliff, there would be no chance of survival.
He glanced down at the cliff bottom, and with a wave of his hand: "Ling Tian, take people to see what's at the bottom of the cliff." He also knew the principle of eradicating the roots.
"Yes!" Ling Tian took the order and ran to the side with his men.
Thousand thoughts furrowed his brows, the matter at hand was pressing. He had to find a way to suppress this incident, so as not to implicate Ge'er. In fact, from Chu Tianqi's words, he had vaguely guessed that Ning Feng and Ning Hua's disappearance was related to Ge'er, and he had been enduring it in silence. Now that the matter had been exposed, he could only sacrifice Ning Feng and his sister to protect Ge'er.
He hurried back to the palace and happened to meet Xiao Yufu coming out of Fengqigong.
"Brother Si Chen!" As soon as she saw him, Xiao Yu Fu ran towards him shyly. These days, Qian Si Chen's attitude towards her seemed to have changed. He no longer pestered Xiao Yu Ge, and she thought he had finally changed his heart.
Qian Si Chen now saw her, his heart was filled with anger, he grabbed her hand and pulled her forward.
"Miss," An Ling was about to step forward.
"All of you, get out of my sight!" Qian Sichin's eyes turned icy cold, and she roared in anger, scaring An Ling and the others into quickly shrinking their necks and retreating.
"Brother Si Chen, what's wrong You're hurting me!" Xiao Yu Fu was also frightened by Qian Si Chen's angry face.
Qian Si Chen let out a cold snort, tossing her to the ground with a forceful heave. "You've done well!" He couldn't understand for the life of him how the gentle and kind person he had once loved could have transformed into this loathsome creature.
"Brother Sishen, what did I do" Xiao Yufu's wronged tears fell like a waterfall. Her appearance of pear blossoms with rain was indeed pitiful, but it couldn't move Qian Sichin's heart at this moment.
Ning Feng glanced at her and asked sternly, "Was it you who told Father about Ning Feng's siblings' affairs in Yaowanggu"
Xiao Yufu seemed to have expected this would happen, and had already thought up what to say: "I heard the Empress mention this matter at the time. She said that the Emperor intended to let go of Fengge and his men. I also thought that Fengge and his men couldn't hide forever. So in a moment of panic, I blurted out that they were hiding in Yaowanggu. But I didn't expect that the Emperor didn't intend to let them go. I really didn't know it would turn out like this...." Tears flowed uncontrollably, as if a dam had broken.n a crimson dress...Just as they had settled down and the banquet was about to begin, a commotion suddenly erupted outside. Xiao Yuge instinctively looked towards the door, knowing that the real actio...
