Venerated Venomous Consort

Mu Feng’s expression instantly changed. He had already noticed that the bracelet on Di Fuyi’s wrist was gone and heard that Gu Xijiu had persuaded the former to cancel the engagement. However, he had always thought that it was only the usual ups and downs in their relationship, and never expected them to split just like that! And it seems that The Lord had given up on her now.

In his many years of staying by Di Fuyi’s side, he knew Di Fuyi’s concern toward Gu Xijiu like the back of his palm; he knew that Di Fuyi had deeply cared for her and lavished her with his love. In his many years of staying by Di Fuyi’s side, he never saw him treat anyone that well before!

The magnitude of their love is enough to move the heavens and earth. So, why would they leave each other? Mu Feng looked at Di Fuyi with an incredulous look as though he were joking. Di Fuyi patted his shoulder. “She’s already returned to her original body. It would still be pristine…” He paused for a while then said, “Just let what had happened between her and me be. Don’t mention it to anyone ever again from today onwards.”

Mu Feng suddenly developed a bad headache. “Master, your humble servant does not understand you anymore…”

Di Fuyi gazed toward the distance and laughed after a while. “I do not seek to be understood by anyone, just let everyone mind their own business. You don’t need to understand me either, and it’s sufficient for you to mind your own business.”

Mu Feng could only agree with him, but he still had other concerns in mind. “Master, I would not mention the things that happened between you and her again and treat it as if nothing had happened, but as for the others who had come out with you from the forbidden lands, they already know that you had an engagement with her…”

Di Fuyi remarked, “Don’t worry. I’ve already altered their memories. They won’t remember about this matter at all.”

Mu Feng was speechless. He was dumbfounded this round! The Lord wants to eliminate all traces of Gu Xijiu’s presence from his life, but for what reason?

“Why?” Mu Feng blurted out.

“If fate decrees us to be together then we’ll be together, if fate decrees us to separate then we’ll be separated. Since fate has already decided to work against our favor, then there’s no helping to it then, is there?” Di Fuyi started to walk away.

Mu Feng stood there rooted in astonishment for a few seconds. A sudden flame ignited in his heart. “This couldn’t be what she had wanted!”

The four messengers knew how much Gu Xijiu had loved Di Fuyi. Therefore, Mu Feng did not believe that Gu Xijiu would change her heart that easily. Though that girl seemed to be cold, she had an intense flame burning in her heart for Di Fuyi. Once she liked somebody, she would commit entirely and would not give up that simply.

Di Fuyi held his step and said lightly, “It’s because of me. Just treat it as if I’ve already found some greener grass.” With that statement, he took his leave and disappeared.

Mu Feng was in stunned silence. Is the grass greener on the other side? That does sound like a flaw that The Lord might possess. Since he had lived for so long, it would not be surprising if he had previous experiences of liking someone then moving on to another target. But who is that “greener grass”?

Mu Feng clenched his fists! The four messengers genuinely cherished and cared about Gu Xijiu. One reason behind it was because of pure admiration. The other was because it was she who refined the pills that saved their lives during the counterfeit Celestial Master Zuo’s affair, so all four of them are in her debt.

How could The Lord throw a cherishable lady like her away? Just because the grass is greener on the other side? How cruel of him! Garbage!

No wonder people had always passed on the stories of infatuated women being deserted by heartless men. All of them were true to the core! If it were not for the fact that The Lord was their master, Mu Feng would have already accosted him to seek justice for her!

That was enough contemplation for today as he still had to go to Tianju Hall to find Qian Lingyu, and reveal to him about The Lord’s breakup with Gu Xijiu to stimulate his morale!
