Modern Cultivation : The Strongest Couple Bonded by Vampire System Chapter 23: Jian Feng

"Don't worry, sir, it's not internal strife. Sotis, we just have greedy people who bite the hand that feeds them. We can still provide you with accommodation."

"Can you tell what the family is grieving about? Maybe we have sothing suitable for the occasion we can offer."

"You jest, sir unless you have an artifact to recover a scattered soul, then you cannot do anything.

This one is no big secret, so I can tell you: my sister's daughter, my niece, had an accident in the secret realm."

Jian Feng proceeded to explain what happened as Mingyue felt confused, observing his information from the carriage.

[The target is ashad, sad, angry, and pained. Has hostile intentions.]

_______________________________

'Why does he feel angry and sad? I was sure he hated ,' Mingyue thought.

[Queen, he still has hostile intentions.]

"He is probably thinking of bringing us soplace else and trying to hide it from the patriarch; that still counts as hostile intention.

I know his personality," Mingyue continued in her mind, 'although I thought he would be happy with my demise.'

mories of her childhood appeared in her mind; her father had always been cold to her, and her mother was always busy cultivating.

The ones who interacted with her the most were her little brother and her uncle's family. But it wasn't a good interaction for Mingyue.

Her little brother always pranked and debated with her, and her uncle constantly complained, telling her that anything she did was never good enough.

Mingyue had always thought this was because her uncle was jealous of her talent, but it seed that wasn't the case.

There was no way her uncle could trick Vesa.

Zan Lu then received another instruction from Mingyue, which made him frown for a bit, but he still said it.

"I heard the rumor, so it's Mingyue from the Blue Lotus Sect; a lot of people are saying she has a bad personality, only thinking about herself.

She even rejected the marriage alliance, making the family suffer a huge loss."

Jian Feng clenched his fist but forced himself to smile.

"No, sir, that is just a rumor. It's just so people becoming impatient because of their greed."

"So, that is wrong?"

"Yes, the family broke up the marriage alliance after having a discussion amongst ourselves.

It's not Mingyue's fault. If anything, it's that useless bastard's fault."

"Useless bastard?"

"I apologize, I misspoke. Let's talk more in the inn. I am sure you are tired from the journey."

"Inn? I thought you would show us the way to your family ho."

"The inn is a better place to rest, sir.

The situation at my place is tense now, but don't worry, I will convey everything we talk about to the patriarch."

The carriage quickly arrived at a large inn, with Mingyue now sitting in the VIP eating area and Zan Lu standing behind her.

Jian Feng sat opposite her.

He wanted to ask but didn't dare to say anything. He still rembered the pressure coming from inside the carriage.

Mingyue looked at her uncle, feeling conflicted; she still couldn't accept that the man was feeling sad about her.

Family love? Such a thing didn't exist in the Xueqi family.

She then took out her own photo from the storage ring and placed it on the table.

"She is still alive and in my hands now. What will you do for her?" Mingyue asked in a cold tone.

Throughout all this, the others from the Xueqi family didn't realize Mingyue's arrival.

Jian Feng made sure the guards stayed silent so no one would report it.

And since there were no significant qi fluctuations, no one noticed.

Seeing the photo, Jian Feng's expression quickly changed. He believed Mingyue since, in his mind, there was no reason for her to lie to him.

[Hostile intention disappears, and the target is filled with hope.]

"But how… the tablet clearly showed..." His voice cracked, but then he shook his head. Jian Feng didn't feel it was important as long as Mingyue survived.

He stood up from his chair and kneeled on the ground, putting his head on the floor.

Mingyue didn't find it funny anymore; she felt angry.

She felt the urge to raise her tone and ask him why he did this, but she knew it wasn't the ti for that.

First, she needed to find out what really happened.

What artifact was stolen?

What did her uncle an by saying a dog that bites the hand helps them?

And more importantly, why did he treat her like that in the past if he really cared for her?

[The target is resigned to his fate.]

Mingyue's heart clenched, but she still put on a cold expression.

"I will do anything as long as you don't hurt my family," Jian Feng said.

"Your family? Who do you an by that, the whole Xueqi family?"

"My wife, my son's family, Mingyue, and her little brother. As for the rest, I don't care. All of them are heartless."

"Heartless? Even your own sister? Isn't she Mingyue's mother?"

Jian Feng assud the woman in front of him knew all these things from Mingyue, so he didn't find it strange.

"Sister? I used to dote on her, but she's crazy now.

She'll do anything for cultivation. Even sell her own daughter, and the patriarch doesn't even care about it."

Mingyue wanted to ask him to explain further, but seeing the man on the floor pained her heart. "Sit back at the table."

Jian Feng didn't dare to dally and quickly returned to sit back at the table.

"Explain in detail what you an by that."

Jian Feng sighed and continued. "You should have heard everything from Mingyue, right?

You know her mother is suffering from poison.

She used to be the brightest talent in our family, but after so incident outside, she got poisoned."
