Jiang Yaoji instantly tightened the bow in her hand. The bulging veins on her hand clearly showed that she was extremely angry.
However, what Ji Yunxi had said before was transmitted by divine power. Except for the two of them, even Feng Xingzhi couldn't hear a single word.
Jiang Yin asked cautiously, "My lady, what's wrong with you?"
"Nothing," Jiang Yaoji gritted her teeth and replied with a cold face.
Every word Ji Yunxi said had hit her sore spots. Didn't she know that all she had done was nothing but self - deception? But so what?
Even if it was just a moment of false happiness, she would accept it!
The two women stared at each other from afar, their eyes filled with hatred for each other.
Li Jiuge watched as her cousin walked further and further away. She was eager to step forward to stop him, but was held back by Gu An.
"Why are you stopping me? I've finally managed to stand on the same side as Ji Yunyi. Are you still going to stop me?!"
Gu An looked at her in frustration, "Even if you stop him, what then? Are you really going to ignore the life of Shopkeeper Lu?"
Li Jiuge wanted to refute, but if she stood up against it now, it would seem as if she was disregarding Lu Shu.
She murmured softly, "I don't mean that, but..."
Feeling a bit wronged, she turned her head to look at Ji Yunxi.
Ji Yunxi understood her and waved at her, "Jiuge, it's okay. I know you don't mean that."
Everyone's attitudes were left hanging in the air, unable to be resolved and making them feel uncomfortable.
Qing Xuan had initially been impulsive. He thought that since Lu Shu was accusing Ji Yunxi without distinguishing right from wrong, it would be better if he had just died in Jiang Yaoji's hands.
But after calming down, Qing Xuan still thought that they couldn't just ignore him.
He wasn't stupid. He could tell that Lu Shu was very likely being controlled by Jiang Yaoji. No matter how much a person changed, they couldn't completely forget their old feelings.
There was only one possibility, which was that he had forgotten the past, and when he got to know things anew, he had been deliberately fed other stories.
Naturally, he hoped that Feng Xingzhi could save Lu Shu.
Ji Yunxi held Feng Xingzhi's jade hairpin and watched as he walked out. Then he used his divine power to create a new barrier.
He privately didn't trust Jiang Yaoji. So when he went out, the first thing he did was not to open all the barriers, but to tear a small opening. As soon as he got out, he immediately closed the opening.
Moreover, he was worried that after he left, Jiang Yaoji would still harm Ji Yunxi, so he strengthened this barrier with his divine power.
Now, unless someone opened this barrier from the inside, even he himself would find it extremely difficult to damage this barrier the slightest bit.
Moreover, even if his conjecture came true, this period of time to break the barrier would be enough for the people in the valley to find another way to escape.
Jiang Yaoji saw what he did. Seeing that even when he was just leaving, he still had Ji Yunxi set up a barrier to protect her, she suddenly felt that she was nothing in comparison.
Her expression changed, and a pang of sourness welled up in her heart. What did Ji Yunxi have that she didn't?
But thinking that soon Feng Xingzhi would no longer remember their past, Jiang Yaoji managed to suppress this feeling. No matter how good Feng Xingzhi was to Ji Yunxi now, in the end, he would still be hers.
She looked at Ji Yunxi with a hint of pride, but still didn't see any loss or sadness in her eyes.
Feng Xingzhi walked forward resolutely without daring to look back.
It wasn't that he didn't want to, but he felt that if he looked back, he might not be able to bear to leave.
He knew that this trip would be full of dangers. Jiang Yaoji must have prepared some tricks to deal with him, but he had to go for Lu Shu's sake.
If it was just forgetting everything, it wouldn't be that serious. The most important thing was that he knew that although Lu Shu seemed to be okay on the surface, through the contract connection, he could sense that Lu Shu's body was very weak, as if he had been seriously injured.
He knew that Jiang Yaoji definitely wouldn't treat Lu Shu well. After all, he had been her enemy for a long time.
Normally, he would have thought that even if he didn't go, Jiang Yaoji would spare Lu Shu for his sake, at least not take his life.
But now it seemed otherwise. The signs of Lu Shu's injury were too obvious.
The many words Lu Shu had said just now were probably because Jiang Yaoji had used divine power and the Jiang family's medicinal materials to keep him going. Otherwise, Lu Shu would definitely not have been able to hold on.
He walked towards them step by step, and even the people around made way for him.
When Lu Shu saw Feng Xingzhi walking towards him, he was very excited and waved his hands continuously.
Jiang Yaoji couldn't help but show a happy expression. She had been scheming for a long time and finally waited for this day.
Only Jiang Yin felt uncomfortable seeing Jiang Yaoji so happy.
He had been with Jiang Yaoji for a very long time, so long that apart from knowing his name was Jiang Yin, he could hardly remember who he really was.
But during this long time, Jiang Yaoji had been chasing after this man in front of her. Whether he was good or bad, there was always a woman he didn't want to see planning for him.
Although Jiang Yaoji was ruthless, she had been extremely kind and considerate towards Feng Xingzhi.
Now that they had come so ostentatiously, it might reach Yue Chen's ears. The whereabouts of the God - Slaying Blade were still unknown.
He guessed that Jiang Yaoji would have to suffer some more.
But she was willing, and he naturally had nothing to say.
Ji Yunxi watched as the people walked further away, while Li Jiuge was extremely anxious, "Yunxi! Are you really going to just watch him leave? If you don't say something, cousin will really be gone."
Ji Yunxi grabbed Li Jiuge's hand, "I won't stop what he wants to do. Jiuge, you should understand me."
Li Jiuge looked into her eyes and sighed after a while, "I really don't want to understand you."
Qing Xuan was clearly confused by the two of them, "What do you mean by understand or not understand?"
Seeing that Ji Yunxi was upset, Li Jiuge pulled Qing Xuan away, "Stop talking. Your noise will only make her feel worse."
Feng Xingzhi came to the carriage. Jiang Yaoji stood up to greet him, but heard him say rudely to Lu Shu, "Come here quickly."
Wasn't he resentful about being forced to separate from Ji Yunxi?
Naturally, he was quite resentful. Now that he was angry, he just wanted to scold Lu Shu severely.
How could he be so careless and fall into Jiang Yaoji's hands?!
Lu Shu, however, looked happy and came to Feng Xingzhi's side.
Jiang Yaoji wanted to say something again, "Xingzhi..."
"Your goal has been achieved. Wherever you want to go, just go," he said coldly, full of reluctance.
Jiang Yaoji was quite embarrassed by his retort, "I won't harm you."
Feng Xingzhi sized her up and down, "Who knows?"
He showed all his dissatisfaction and suspicion clearly and even didn't want to get into the carriage.
