Su Xiaoliu widened her almond eyes. Trembling, she stared at her own reflection in the pool. How could she have such a rapturous and adoring look on her face!
"My husband... my husband..." The woman in the pool murmured softly. She tightened her arms around the seductive red figure's neck. Her slender fingers gently glided across his back. Two blushes flitted across the sides of her delicate nose. Her rosy, small diamond - shaped lips parted and closed as she breathed softly.
Husband?
Su Xiaoliu couldn't help but widen her almond eyes even more. She kept trembling, but her feet seemed to be firmly rooted to the ground. She clenched her hands tightly.
The seductive red figure in the pool slowly raised his head. His amorous phoenix eyes stared quietly at the woman. His slender fingers gently glided across her cheek. He said softly, "My lady's hair is all wet. You'll catch a cold like this..." He lifted a lock of her long hair with his fingers and twirled it gently.
The woman hugged the seductive red figure tightly. Her charming almond eyes were empty. Her cheeks were flushed. She tilted her heart - shaped face slightly, exposing her slender neck. She murmured, "Husband... I like it..."
The seductive red figure curled his lips, smiling enchantingly. He lowered his head. His enchanting phoenix eyes half - closed, and his long eyelashes cast shadows. He said, "Husband also likes my lady..."
Su Xiaoliu gritted her teeth tightly and trembled as she said, "Who... who is it..." She stared intently at the woman in the pool who looked exactly like her. What that woman did made Su Xiaoliu feel ashamed. She would never act like this. She would never casually hug a man, nor would she show such a loving look to a stranger!
Suddenly, a flash of red flitted past. Su Xiaoliu turned her head and saw Feng Yufei in a maroon robe looking down at her. On his peerlessly charming face, his phoenix eyes were amorous. He said softly, "That's the shadow of you when you were with me before..."
"You're lying!" Su Xiaoliu stared at him with her almond eyes, wishing she could pierce him through. Her almond eyes trembled slightly. She said, "That's not me! I don't like you either!"
Feng Yufei's smile slowly faded. He took a step forward and stared quietly at Su Xiaoliu. He whispered, "You should have liked me..." He had made a mistake in his plan. He had bewitched her state of mind but forgotten to leave her a bit of memory about him. As a result, she had fallen in love with the person she had the most favorable impression of, while he had been forgotten forever...
"You're crazy... What kind of evil magic did you use? Why am I like this..." Su Xiaoliu took a dazed step back. Her body suddenly hit the rock behind her. A cold sensation came from her back. She trembled her almond eyes, lowered her head, and murmured, "Situ Qianyue... Where are you..."
Situ Qianyue?
Half of the smile in Feng Yufei's eyes faded. She had mentioned this name before. Could this person be the one who had messed up his plan?
The red figure in the turquoise pool gradually disappeared...
Su Xiaoliu raised her head and stared quietly at him. Stubbornly, she said, "I want to get out. I will definitely get out."
Feng Yufei curled his lips. His phoenix eyes stared at her without blinking. He said softly, "You can't get out." This place was different from others. In other places, there was always an exit to be found, but here, unless he personally lifted all the restrictions, she would be trapped here for the rest of her life...
Su Xiaoliu looked up at him. A trace of panic gradually welled up in her almond eyes, as if she were looking at a heinous person. What on earth did this person want from her?
Feng Yufei slowly walked towards her, reached out his hands and trapped her in his arms. He lowered his head. His pair of enchanting phoenix eyes stared quietly into her almond eyes and said, "If you can find my fatal weakness, then I'll let you out. This is a game. Do you want to play..."
Find his fatal weakness?
Su Xiaoliu looked at him and gradually pursed her lips.
"Okay. If I find your fatal weakness, then you'll let me out." Su Xiaoliu calmed down. She looked at him and asked, "What's the time limit?"
His amorous phoenix eyes blinked gently. He curled his lips into a smile. The phoenix pattern on his forehead glowed with golden light. He said softly, "With eternity as the deadline, until you find it..."
The white mist slowly drifted by, blurring those enchanting eyes.
In the brightly lit main hall.
A man in a dark cyan robe was sitting on the top - most chair. His long hair was tied up with a cyan satin ribbon. He had a high - bridged nose, sword - shaped eyebrows, and star - like eyes. There was a faint stubble on his chin. He quietly looked at the people sitting in two rows below.
The people in the two rows were all somewhat famous in the Jianghu. They were of all ages, and all were looking respectfully at the man on the chair above.
A middle - aged man in a brown robe was standing beside him. The middle - aged man's gaze slowly swept across the people in the two rows below, and he let out a faint smile without a trace.
"I'm sure all of you have heard about what happened at the Pingshan Assembly. The Golden Jade Tree was stolen by villains, and they managed to escape." The alliance leader quietly looked at the people below and said in a voice just loud enough for everyone to hear.
The people in the two rows looked at each other. An old man wearing a bamboo hat stood up, looked at the alliance leader sitting above, and asked, "I heard that the alliance leader once went after them. What was the result...?"
The middle - aged man in the brown robe beside him gave a cold snort, looked at the old man wearing the bamboo hat, and said gloomily, "Naturally, we didn't manage to catch them. But two of them didn't end up well either."
The people in the two rows quietly looked at the middle - aged man in the brown robe, waiting for him to continue.
"One is the rebellious Elder Chang, Chang He, and the other is the ringleader who fled with the Golden Jade Tree, Mr. Qiongxue, Gu Rongxue." Wang Chengyang said with a cold laugh. A chill emanated from his body, making people feel oppressed.
Everyone below looked surprised.
A young man in a willow - colored long gown stood up, looked at Wang Chengyang, and asked, "But wasn't the Golden Jade Tree originally Mr. Qiongxue's? How could taking one's own thing be considered stealing?"
The faces of the people beside him instantly turned pale. They were afraid for his words and quickly lowered their heads, not daring to look up.
A strange light flashed in the alliance leader's eyes, and his hand on the armrest tightened slightly.
Wang Chengyang looked up at the young man and said, "That Golden Jade Tree doesn't belong to the Gu family."
The young man looked at Wang Chengyang. A look of confusion flashed across his face. He asked, "What do you mean?"
Wang Chengyang glanced down at the alliance leader. Since the alliance leader didn't show any reaction, he looked up again, looked at the young man, and said, "The alliance leader has summoned all of you this time to talk about this Golden Jade Tree." After a moment, he added, "The Golden Jade Tree has brought up the events from a few years ago. The problem lies entirely in the fruit on the tree."
A few years ago, the fruit had caused countless upheavals in the Jianghu. Everyone wanted that fruit, but no one had ever seen it. So when the Golden Jade Tree was on display, no one recognized the fruit.
