Capítulo 1968: Chapter 1957: Another Enemy Made
Outside the courtyard, it was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
After being stunned for several seconds, Xiao Jifan and Liu Yuqin quickly ca back to their senses.
Xiao Jifan suppressed the shock in his heart and showed a joyous smile, saying: “Yongzhan, your body has really recovered? That’s wonderful! I imagine the family will be overjoyed to hear this.”
“Sister-in-law has been worried about your health, which is why I accompanied her to Spirit Continent to check on you. I didn’t expect to hear such great news. We should imdiately inform the family.”
Liu Yuqin regained her natural expression and took a few steps forward, saying with concern: “Yongzhan, I’m relieved to see you’re okay. We’ve all been very worried about your health.”
Standing aside, Ye Chenfeng watched with a spectator’s attitude; he had no intentions of getting involved in Xiao Yongzhan’s family matters.
Xiao Yongzhan looked at the hypocritical faces of Xiao Jifan and Liu Yuqin before him, especially at Liu Yuqin, which caused a stabbing pain in his heart. He said expressionlessly: “Xiao Jifan, didn’t you just say you wanted my benefactor to cripple his martial arts? Won’t you give an explanation for this?”
The smile on Xiao Jifan’s face faded slightly, while Liu Yuqin said: “Yongzhan, how can you speak like that? Jifan accompanied all the way to Spirit Continent out of concern for your health. We didn’t know the young man was your savior.”
“Hahaha—”
Xiao Yongzhan laughed heartily, though his laughter was full of bitterness. Looking at Liu Yuqin, he said: “Even now, you’re still pretending? You added Heavenly Fragrance Poison to the sachet you gave . If it weren’t for my undeserved luck, I wouldn’t have known who was hurting until the mont of my true death.”
Upon hearing Xiao Yongzhan directly expose their plot, Liu Yuqin shuddered violently and took three steps back, while Xiao Jifan’s face turned completely sullen.
Xiao Jifan solemnly said: “Xiao Yongzhan, how could you doubt sister-in-law? What’s Heavenly Fragrance Poison? I’ve never heard of such a deadly poison. Do you really trust an outsider more than your own woman?”
Xiao Yongzhan laughed even more mockingly, almost as if self-mocking, saying: “Shouldn’t she be your woman? Xiao Jifan, why continue to hide it? My head is still clear; I can tell what the facts are.”
Liu Yuqin had retreated to Xiao Jifan’s side, her beautiful eyes filled with complex emotion. After a mont of silence, her expression turned resolute, and she said: “Xiao Yongzhan, since you already know the truth, then I need not hide it any longer. I am indeed with Brother Fan. You’re preoccupied with training and never have ti for , while Brother Fan is sincere.”
With those words from Liu Yuqin.
The atmosphere beca even more tense. Ye Chenfeng furrowed his brow slightly, feeling a bit of pity for Xiao Yongzhan. No man likes being cuckolded.
Xiao Jifan hesitated for a second, then frankly hugged Liu Yuqin’s waist, saying: “Xiao Yongzhan, things have co to this. I am indeed with sister-in-law now; what can you do about it?”
“Over the years, your health has deteriorated. The family has gradually abandoned you, shifting their focus onto . Many elders within the family already support as the next Family Head. You, Xiao Yongzhan, no longer qualify as my opponent.”
Xiao Yongzhan clenched his palms into fists so tightly that the veins on the back of his hands bulged, his breathing chaotic and his chest heavily oppressed. He stared at Liu Yuqin intently, saying: “Haven’t I been good enough to you? Haven’t you made any plans for the future? Isn’t all my hard training for your sake?”
Xiao Yongzhan felt like a clown, grinding his teeth as he said: “I’ll ask you only one last question—is our child mine?”
Xiao Jifan, holding Liu Yuqin, said: “Xiao Yongzhan, within the family, you’ve been more talented than since childhood, always receiving more resources than I did. I also fancied sister-in-law back then, yet the family matched her with you, which isn’t fair. Why should I, Xiao Jifan, live under your shadow?”
“I’m feeling much better now. Since you want the answer, sister-in-law needn’t tell you—your son isn’t biologically yours but mine. Is this answer satisfactory to you?”
Xiao Yongzhan, eyes bloodshot, still stared at Liu Yuqin, asking: “Is this true?”
Liu Yuqin nodded without hesitation.
“Pfft!” a sound.
A mouthful of fresh blood spurted directly from Xiao Yongzhan’s mouth, driven to rage by Xiao Jifan and Liu Yuqin’s betrayal. He, once the Xiaos’ greatest genius, had many admirers, yet he chose not the most outstanding but Liu Yuqin, only to suffer this betrayal in the end.
The most painful revelation—his beloved son wasn’t really his? Although he’d ntally prepared himself upon suspecting Xiao Jifan and Liu Yuqin’s relationship, hearing the truth left him unable to easily accept it.
Xiao Yongzhan wiped away the blood from his mouth; at this mont, his heart was utterly dead. An icy layer enveloped his face as he ripped off his white sleeve, slicing his finger to write furiously.
Half a minute later.
An elaborate blood-written letter appeared in Xiao Yongzhan’s hand. He threw it to Liu Yuqin, saying: “This is a divorce letter. From now on, I, Xiao Yongzhan, have no ties with you, Liu Yuqin. You walk your path; I walk my own.”
Xiao Yongzhan radiated fierce killing intent as he continued: “Get out imdiately! Next ti we et, we’ll be enemies until death.”
After taking Xiao Yongzhan’s divorce letter, Liu Yuqin’s face also turned grim, while Xiao Jifan said: “Xiao Yongzhan, do you not understand your situation? Want to face us until death? Fine, I’ll be waiting for you in Central Continent.”
After speaking, Xiao Jifan glanced aningfully at Ye Chenfeng, his eyes filled with undisguised murderous intent. Despite the situation, he blad Ye Chenfeng for disrupting his plans, imprinting Ye Chenfeng’s appearance in his mind.
Ye Chenfeng noticed Xiao Jifan’s gaze and chuckled bitterly; it appeared he’d unintentionally made another formidable enemy.
After seeing Xiao Jifan and Liu Yuqin vanish from his sight.
“Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!” Three successive sounds.
Xiao Yongzhan spat out three more mouthfuls of blood, his body weakened considerably.
After all, Xiao Yongzhan had only just rid himself of Heavenly Fragrance Poison; anger over Xiao Jifan and Liu Yuqin’s actions had left him in turmoil. He’d been suppressing his rage within, and the harder one suppresses, the fiercer the backlash.
Moreover, Xiao Yongzhan’s body had only just recovered. He couldn’t be sure he could kill Xiao Jifan. If he acted now, he might end up dead instead.
Several tis, Xiao Yongzhan barely restrained himself from acting. But he had to consider Ye Chenfeng—he couldn’t let Ye Chenfeng fall into danger. Though his life might be a failure, he was a man of honor, understanding gratitude and learning to repay kindness.
With blood staining his lips, Xiao Yongzhan apologized to Ye Chenfeng, saying: “Young brother, I’m sorry. I can’t match Xiao Jifan’s strength right now, so I refrained from acting. Once I fully recover, I’ll kill Xiao Jifan. I won’t let him bring trouble to you, young brother.”
Ye Chenfeng nonchalantly waved his hand, saying: “No need to apologize to . There’s sothing I need you to handle; so matters in Jiaolong City need your attention.”
Ye Chenfeng looked at the elder in Earth God Realm, saying: “You’ve heard about it in the past few days, haven’t you? So please explain it to him.”
