Everyone's hearts trembled.
It seed they had played too far.
They had underestimated Fu Xinghe's position in this Special Envoy Lu's heart.
Fu Nanyun flusteredly explained, "Special Envoy Lu, I only said one sentence, it's not worth..."
The [Way of the Jinche] roaring past interrupted her speech.
The danger that could cut through anything rendered the excuses she wanted to make next stillborn.
Fu Nanyun dodged and weaved.
But Lu Ding's figure, bursting forth through the black smoke, was like a ghostly apparition, arriving before her in the blink of an eye.
A fist clenched in the air, ford from a hand with neatly trimd nails, soft and plump fingertips, and distinct knuckles.
Fu Nanyun, who had been dodging and weaving just a second ago, solidly ate a flying heavy punch from Lu Ding right to the head!
Crack, crack, the sounds of bone fracturing rang out.
The scene slowed down at this mont, watching the cheekbone, temple, and cheek of Fu Nanyun's pretty face slowly cave in, her facial features and skin twisting and deforming.
Layer upon layer of protective secret techniques on her body shattered like layers of glazed mirror.
It seed she still valued her life, arranging this many life-preserving asures just for that.
Thud!!!
A muffled sound erupted as black energy exploded in a ring, and Fu Nanyun was sent flying sideways.
Her three older brothers and her husband instantly panicked.
"Nanyun!!!"
"Little sister!!!"
"Fourth sister!!!"
Lu Ding half-crouched, gathering strength. Just before launching himself forward, he turned his head to look: "Those who obstruct law enforcent are guilty of the sa cri as her. Those who knowingly break the law face an additional level of punishnt."
Thud!!!
Lu Ding stomped and shattered the ground, kicking off and launching himself forward.
He trailed a cot's tail of black smoke through the air, executed a spinning twist, raised his leg, and brought it down in a chop. Moonlight shone, moon radiance was unrestrained.
The [Moon Arc Kick] reappeared.
One foot chopped down.
"No!!!!"
Fu Nanyun scread in pain, her voice piercing.
As Lu Ding's foot drew a crescent moon in the air.
Rip!!!
Blood spurted forth.
A hideous wound ran from Fu Nanyun's left shoulder all the way down to below her right rib. Severely injured, like a ragged doll, she scattered cotton-like clumps of blood in the air before crashing heavily to the ground.
Lu Ding landed afterwards.
One foot stepped on Fu Nanyun's head, grinding her flesh and blood against her skull with a sickening creak.
Early God Ascension stage, nothing more than this.
Before, fighting God Ascension cultivators might have required a few more moves from him. But now? Instant kill!!!
Seeing this scene, the Fu family mbers felt anxious in their hearts.
They wanted to go up and save her, but didn't dare because of Lu Ding's words.
Only Fu Nansheng...
As the eldest brother in the family, he once again chose to shoulder the burden for his younger siblings.
He knelt on both knees: "Please, Special Envoy Lu, spare Nanyun for her careless words. She didn't intentionally an to interfere with Xinghe."
"Nanyun is now severely injured and urgently needs treatnt, there's no ti to delay. If Special Envoy Lu feels unsatisfied, if you want to vent your anger, then direct it at , the eldest brother."
At this mont, Fu Xinghe's emotions were complex.
This was the first ti he had seen his father, the head of the family, adopt such a posture...
Although his father was also a civil official.
At most, his father would be servile and obsequious, fully displaying professional spirit. The Fu family made their living from this; it wasn't shaful.
But kneeling...
Fu Xinghe found it sowhat unacceptable.
He didn't understand. If Brother Lu hadn't helped just now, he would definitely have been injured.
His father hadn't shown any concern, hadn't even spared him an extra glance.
And now, with his aunt injured, he could kneel and beg for rcy from 'Brother Lu'...
How ironic...
Fu Xinghe felt unsteady on his feet, his body swaying slightly.
The accumulated grievances from the past erupted at this mont, turning into tears that rolled from the corners of his eyes. He didn't want to cry, but couldn't hold back.
He wanted to ask why, what right did they have, but the words wouldn't co out.
Father was a good elder brother, but he was definitely not a good father...
Fu Xinghe wiped his tears, making a motion to brush his hair back behind his ear.
Lu Ding waited quietly. If Xinghe continued to use silence as his answer, giving the most voiceless yet most direct response, then he would directly finish off this bitch.
If Xinghe spoke.
Then he would make another judgnt.
Amid the quiet atmosphere of the scene.
Footsteps sounded outside the door.
A ticulously dressed woman walked in, dignified in bearing, elegant in aura, ignoring the situation in the room, calling out: "Xinghe..."
Fu Xinghe's body instantly trembled as he looked over.
His tear-filled pupils reflected the woman's figure.
At this mont, Xinghe, who had just been able to remain strong and not cry out, spoke with a hoarse voice: "Mom..."
The woman ca over and hugged him.
"There, there, don't cry. Mom made your favorite bone broth at ho for you and Special Envoy Lu. Co, go ho with Mom."
Fu Xinghe looked up: "Ho..."
Wasn't this his ho?
Where else was there to go back to?
The beautiful woman nodded, smiling very gently: "Go ho. Your uncle is waiting for you. Your grandfather is also waiting for you..."
As she spoke, she took Fu Xinghe's hand and patted his head: "They all praise you, saying you've grown up, that you're capable. Your grandfather specially dug up the wine he brewed for you when you were born, saying he wants to have a big drinking session with you."
"Your uncle specially took the day off today to wait for you at ho."
You should know, since Secretary Qiu beca Elder Shui's secretary, for decades like a single day, he had never taken a day off.
For a mont, Fu Xinghe didn't know what to say.
So Uncle... Grandfather... They...
Fu Xinghe glanced back at the Fu Residence. The beautiful woman reached out and gently turned his gaze back: "Before, it was Mom who was wrong. Mom was silly, her mind didn't turn. Mom apologizes to you, I'm sorry. From now on, Mom will only listen to you."
After saying this, she shifted her gaze to look over.
"Nansheng, let's get a divorce..."
"I love you, but I also love Xinghe. You are my husband, Xinghe is my child. Xinghe has never disobeyed, defied, or disappointed you, his father. Yet you have repeatedly, ti and again, bullied him, wronged him."
"I know, compared to you Fu family mbers, I, who have never experienced the world, even after becoming a mother, still have a little girl's ntality, always only seeing the imdiate, only caring about today and tomorrow."
"Just like you said, I was protected very well by my younger brother, by my father, by my family. Many things, I cannot understand."
"But I thought, as long as you could understand, that was enough. So I believed in you, supported you unconditionally..."
"Even last ti when Xinghe was wronged, I stood with you. I thought you were right. Xinghe cannot be indecisive like . Xinghe cannot be weak like . Xinghe cannot be unable to stand on his own like ."
"But now I realize, I seem to have been wrong. I overlooked Xinghe's excellence. I also overlooked that Xinghe is not just your child, but also my child. He doesn't just bear the surna Fu; his body also flows with half the blood of the Qiu family!"
"As long as my Qiu family does not fall, as long as my father is still here, as long as my younger brother remains in this Hanjing for one more day, why can't we protect Xinghe!?"
She was a naive sweetheart, and she was also enchanted by the charismatic personality Fu Nansheng had forged from desperate situations.
But she wasn't stupid. She was just very well protected. Not the kind of willful arrogance that does whatever she wants, but true freedom—the freedom to choose not to do what she doesn't want to do.
Regarding this matter, Secretary Qiu had explained it to her very clearly. She had also seen Fu Xinghe's many glorious deeds and today's situation.
She was disappointed.
This marital relationship was also ti to co to an end.
The beautiful woman flipped her hand and produced a long sword, sharp and formidable, but without killing intent.
"In the future, you protect your siblings, and I will protect my son. You won't let your siblings suffer wrongs, and I won't let my son suffer wrongs again either."
"In ancient tis, there was drawing a line to divorce a wife. Today, I, Qiu Jinyun, draw a line to divorce my husband. From now on, the bond between us husband and wife is severed. The Qiu family is the Qiu family, the Fu family is the Fu family. All comrcial cooperation and relationship dealings, please, Family Head Fu, expedite the handover. My father says the betrothal gifts will be returned double, but the dowry, I will take back in full."
After finishing, she looked gently at Fu Xinghe: "In the future, these things will be under Xinghe's na."
