Hearing those words, Murong Yi Xuan’s hand trembled slightly, and the light within his eyes dimd slightly, his face starting to beco tinged with a slight paleness.
Seeing that deanor coming over him, the corners of Feng Jiu’s mouth tightened and she went on to say: "Since you are already knew that, why do you pretend otherwise? The old Feng Qing Ge might be taken with you, but I, Feng Jiu will not. You are as good as a stranger to and that is why our engagent must definitely be broken off."
"Feng Jiu?" He raised his eyes up to look at her.
"That’s right. My na is Feng Jiu, and you can also call Feng Qing Ge, but I am definitely not the Feng Qing Ge who was smitten with you."
Hearing that, his lips moved slightly like he was about to ask sothing but in the end, he did not manage to utter a single word. He lifted up his tea to his lips and took a sip from it to calm his own heart. After a long pause, he then said: "I understand. I agree to break off the engagent."
"That’s for the best." The ends of Feng Jiu’s lips lifted slightly, to reveal a smile.
Seeing the delight that showed on her face, Murong Yi Xuan’s eyes then glinted as he said: "I would like to get to know you all over again."
Under her shocked and surprised gaze, he showed a gentle smile on his face as he said: " You are absolutely right. That first eting at the restaurant, the second encounter in the Peach Blossom Ridge, and seeing you once more on the street, you had srized, moving my heart every one of those tis, making it impossible for to forget you. Hence, even if I have agreed to break off the engagent, I will still continue to pursue you."
Feng Jiu shook her head and stood up with a laugh. "I will advise you to not waste any of your ti on and go work on cultivating yourself instead!"
Leaving those words, Feng Jiu then left. She knew very clearly that she would never fall in love with soone like Murong Yi Xuan. Although he was highly outstanding, he was not suited for her.
Seeing her turn around and leave, he did not stop her, because he knew that as long as he grew strong enough, and was outstanding enough, then, the day would co where she would definitely beco his woman!
In this world where power reigned supre, the powerful were revered, and the weak were not able to survive. Even if she had the Feng Residence behind her, in this vast and wide world, she would co to discover one day that only soone with great power would be able to protect her.
And she was right as well. He needed to work hard on his cultivation. The Sun Glory Country was rely a stepping stone for him and he would not hole himself in here his entire life. Out there in the world, the skies were wider that would allow him to soar.....
-- Feng Residence --
Coming back ho, Feng Jiu had not even entered the hall when she already heard Guan Xi Lin’s voice reaching her ears.
"Why is Little Jiu not back yet? That Murong Yi Xuan is just too much. As a man, being so wishy washy makes him rather la."
"Who says I am not back?" She went walking inside with a smile, and imdiately saw the seated Guan Xi Lin getting up to welco her back the mont he saw her.
"Little Jiu, you’re finally back at last. I ca rushing back here the mont I heard that you’ve returned."
"You’re almost about to move into your house, how can I not co back for that?" She said with a laugh. When she did not see Sunny in the hall, she then went on to ask: "Grandfather, where’s Sunny?"
"He was tired, and I had the servants bring him behind to have so rest." The Old Patriarch said with a smile, and then continued: "I’ve also ordered the kitchen to prepare a few dishes that you like. Have a few drinks with first before you go back to your courtyard to rest."
When he heard those words, Feng Xiao’s brows creased up in slight disapproval as he said: "Father, Qing Ge must be tired out from her journey back. Shouldn’t you let her have a good rest before you ask her to drink with you? See how much she has lost on this trip out. She must have suffered quite a lot out there and did not get much rest."
Hearing those words, Feng Jiu laughed and said: "It’s alright. I’m not....." She was interrupted before she could finish.
"Mm. I think that Little Jiu should go get herself so rest first. We’ll then be able to thoroughly enjoy a few good rounds tonight."
