Chapter 278: Chapter 278: Breakthrough to Innate (Part Six) Chapter 278: Chapter 278: Breakthrough to Innate (Part Six) “The Feng Family?” Feng Jingtian’s cold laugh carried a trace of scorn within his Phoenix Eyes, “Don’t forget how my mother died, and don’t forget why I chose to leave the Feng Family. I loathe Lan Yue, not just because she was the wife you chose for , but more importantly, I have never been able to bring myself to like her hypocritical nature. And if it weren’t for my Talent, would you, Feng Xiang, ever respect ? I have never wanted the identity of the young master of the Feng Family.”
The man’s words pierced his heart like needles, causing Feng Xiang’s body to tremble uncontrollably.
He was right, the death of his wife was indeed his fault. Back then, if he hadn’t been too cowardly to speak up for her, she wouldn’t have died so miserably, and he would never forget the last look that woman gave him.
Desperate and sorrowful…
It was precisely because of this that Feng Jingtian harbored no sense of belonging to the Feng Family and even deeply hated his own father.
Just as Feng Xiang was lost in the mories of the past, Feng Jingtian’s figure flashed and disappeared from the hall. Quickly afterward, a fiery red silhouette landed within Mu Ruyue’s room.
Feeling the breath rushing towards her, Mu Ruyue’s brows knitted slightly as she asked indifferently, “Demon, what brings you here this ti?”
Feng Jingtian’s Phoenix Eyes deeply gazed at the girl’s stunningly beautiful face, his demonically handso features seemingly conveying an emotion that was difficult for anyone to decipher.
“I’m going to leave the Feng Family for a while. While I’m away, you must take care of your safety.”
Mu Ruyue’s eyebrows arched, “Perhaps I’d be safer if you let go.”
The sharpness in the girl’s words pierced the man’s heart, yet he seed unconcerned and laughed it off. Even though he was a man, he could laugh so beautifully.
“Take this Token. If you encounter any danger, I will be able to rush back. Woman, did you know? When I was very young, my biological mother had already passed away, and her death was due to my father’s cowardice.”
A bitter smile appeared on Feng Jingtian’s face, his eyes filled with sadness, “Just because she practiced a Cultivation Technique that could bring the dead back to life, the price being her own lifespan, she used it to save Feng Xiang. Unfortunately, after succeeding, soone witnessed her imdiately after the deed. That person did not see her saving Feng Xiang’s life but just saw the process of her transforming from a young woman into an old crone, losing much of her lifespan, and thus she was labeled a reincarnated demon.”
What kind of shock would it be for soone to see a young face gradually turning into that of a wrinkled old woman? Probably everyone would think they had seen a ghost.
Without Feng Jingtian needing to continue, Mu Ruyue could guess the rest of the story…
“The elders in the clan declared she was a demon, and hence subjected her to Fire Punishnt. That man, because of whom she had co back to life, did not say a word in her defense when she faced the Fire Punishnt—not because he wasn’t the Feng Family heir at the ti, and with his own situation being precarious and many wanting to remove him, how could he be concerned with soone else? Even if that person was his wife, who had sacrificed most of her lifespan to save him, leading to her misfortune of being mistaken for a demon…”
Throughout, Feng Jingtian never wished to refer to that man as ‘father’.
“I am telling you all this not to gain your sympathy,” Feng Jingtian looked up at Mu Ruyue, determination in his Phoenix Eyes, “Once, before she left, she told sothing—if I ever t a woman I liked, I must protect her at all costs. So, I want you to believe in . I will protect your safety and not let you suffer the slightest harm.”
