Chapter 484: Chapter 486 Threat (Part One)
Yao Jing’s complexion slowly began to change.
He took a deep breath and raised his hand, sending a slap towards Third Young Master Xiao with all his strength, sending him flying.
Third Young Master Xiao spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, looking astonished at Yao Jing whose face was an iron blue.
Then, under his shocked gaze, Yao Jing approached Yao Yunqing with a smile plastered on his face and obsequiously said, “Miss, what brings you here?”
Yao Yunqing swept her gaze around and suddenly turned her eyes towards Yao Tianyu.
In that instant, she hadn’t seen clearly who was on the ground, but now seeing Yao Tianyu obviously stunned, a surge of anger welled up from within her.
“Yao Tianyu, you have some nerve! How dare you drug Xiao Feng!”
Yao Tianyu bit her lip, suppressing her emotions as she said, “It wasn’t me—Xiao Feng did it intentionally to take advantage of me…”
“Take advantage of you?” Yao Yunqing sneered, “Xiao Feng is my fiancé, do you think he would abandon a direct descendant of the Yao Family like me for you, a member of a side branch?”
Fiancé?
This word exploded in Yao Tianyu’s heart like a thunderclap.
She looked at Yao Yunqing in disbelief, her body beginning to tremble uncontrollably.
Impossible!
If Xiao Feng hadn’t consumed the aphrodisiac himself, how could what happened afterward have taken place? Also, since Yao Yunqing was a Yao Family’s direct descendant and adored by all, how could she fancy such a man? With her family status, she could marry anyone she wanted—why him?
With this in mind, Yao Tianyu couldn’t help but speak out her inner thoughts.
“Why? Why would you fancy Xiao Feng? What exactly about such a man appeals to you?”
Yao Yunqing’s eyes grew colder as she stared at Yao Tianyu’s elegant face, “Who I like is none of your business. With your pride and self-centeredness, you’ll never understand the goodness in others.”
As she spoke, a cold sneer appeared on her lips.
Upon witnessing this scene, the Xiao Family members were visibly dumbfounded, especially Third Young Master Xiao, whose eyes bulged like enormous bells, his heart trembling uncontrollably…
This woman is the Yao Family’s direct descendant? Then what am I doing here?
Third Young Master Xiao’s face turned pale, filled with unbearable remorse.
Yet no matter how much he regretted, it was to no avail. As a person, one must pay the price for their past actions…
“So, it turns out that Xiao Feng truly did not wish to marry me.”
Yao Tianyu’s expression darkened, and then a bitter smile emerged. At that moment, she finally understood that everything Xiao Feng had said was true.
And it was all her own wishful thinking.
In terms of noble status and Talent, Yao Yunqing was far superior to her in every way. How could she ever compete with her?
“Yao Jing, Yao Tianyu, do you know what punishment is meted out for violating the continent’s laws?” Yao Yunqing’s gaze lifted to observe the two pale-faced individuals before her, speaking emotionlessly, “The continent has rules; members of the four great powers must not interfere with ordinary people nor are they allowed to initiate violence against them. And yet you attempted to coerce Xiao Feng. You should be aware of the appropriate punishment…”
Punishment?
Yao Jing shivered violently at the thought.
“Confined to the back mountain for solitary reflection for ten years!”
Ten years might pass in a blink for a cultivator, but significant changes can occur during that time. And it’s not just solitary reflection, but also enduring the scorching flames…
How miserable is that? But these are the rules of the Yao Family! They cannot be broken!
