Chapter 193 The miserable mandarin duck
In their eyes, the pure and innocent Han Yue'er had her happiness taken away by Sheng Junwei, a scheming woman, and was forced to leave with a broken heart. They were just cheering for the love of this star-crossed couple. What was wrong with that?
However, Sheng Junwei's words were like a sharp dagger, piercing the apparent calm and making the people present feel that their actions did seem excessive.
Especially the story behind Han Yueer's leaving the Prime Minister's Mansion aroused their imagination.
Han Yue'er's face changed slightly, and a complex emotion flashed across her eyes: "Mrs. Pei, let the past go with the wind! What happened between A Yu and I is already a thing of the past, there is no need to mention it again."
She was trying hard to suppress the turmoil in her heart, and should have been showing a proud and unyielding attitude, but now she revealed an unconcealable desolation and fatigue.
Standing up slowly, she said softly, "Master Gu, let's leave."
Gu Weiyi stood up suddenly, his eyes as deep as the night, fixed coldly on Sheng Junwei, as if he could see into the depths of a person's soul.
Sheng Junwei originally responded calmly, but when Gu Weiyi was about to turn around, she suddenly spoke, her voice changing from cold to deep, "Please stay."
Han Yue'er and Gu Weiyi could not help but stop. She felt mixed emotions in her heart. She forced a smile and tried to keep her tone calm: "Madam Pei, do you have any other instructions?"
Pei Yu frowned, feeling quite impatient: "Everyone is leaving, aren't you satisfied?"
Sheng Junwei's eyes were fixed on Gu Weiyi's face, not missing any details: "I just heard that you are going to embark on a journey tomorrow. May I ask where are you going?"
Han Yue'er seemed a little surprised, and Gu Weiyi's answer was as cold as Arctic ice: "There is no need to tell outsiders about this."
After saying this, he tightly held Han Yue'er's hand, and the two walked side by side with firm steps, leaving the Prime Minister's residence resolutely, leaving behind only astonishment and contemplation.
Sheng Junwei's eyes slowly focused, with tiny lights flickering in her pupils, as if she had captured some crucial information in an instant.
At the moment when Gu Weiyi's figure was about to disappear from her sight, her sharp eyes penetrated the tiny fluctuations in the air and clearly captured the ominous shadow that flashed across his face.
That glimmer of haze, though so slight as to be almost negligible, was like the most inconspicuous star in the night sky, foreshadowing the coming of a storm, implying numerous crises and unpredictable serious injuries.
In the world of cultivation, hiding one's own luck and future trajectory is a compulsory course for every practitioner, in order to guard against those unscrupulous people who attempt to spy on the secrets of heaven.
However, this common behavior has become a heavy burden in Sheng Junwei's eyes.
Gu Weiyi's cultivation had already reached the pinnacle, and his destiny should have been solid and unpredictable, but under the cover of this divine secret, it vaguely revealed the breath of death.
This means that what he is about to face is not just a mundane challenge, but an inescapable disaster.
The opponent who could make a strong man who has cultivated to the Qi training realm fall into such a life-and-death situation must be undoubtedly powerful and sinister. He is either a cultivator of the evil ways with profound Taoism or an even more terrifying evil creature in the world.
In either case, it would be catastrophic for ordinary people and enough to cause bloodshed.
Looking at Gu Weiyi's back gradually walking away, Sheng Junwei's fingertips danced flexibly in the wide sleeves, quickly calculating the unknown fate, but she was facing two special individuals.
One is a favored girl born with great fortune, the other is a practitioner who deliberately hides his own secrets.
This meant that even she could not find any clues in a short period of time.
When Fan Ruoxuan saw Sheng Junwei staring at the receding figure with a frown on her face, he couldn't help feeling annoyed.
He couldn't help but break the silence and said in a slightly sarcastic tone: "We understand that it is indeed inappropriate to overly support Brother Pei and Miss Han in front of you, but they have left now, so why do you have to act like this?"
There was a hint of sarcasm in his words, and he deliberately emphasized his tone and continued, "Young Madam, don't forget that even if you are the legal wife, it cannot change the fact that you are a woman. Brother Pei has the right to take a concubine, and this cannot be disputed. If I were you, I would definitely choose to let go at the right time, otherwise it would end up hurting both of you, and you might only be able to guard the empty title of 'Young Madam' alone, and Brother Pei's heart would never belong to you completely."
Sheng Junwei ignored Fan Ruoxuan's words without even raising her eyelids. She turned to Pei Yu and calmly explained, "I observed the signs on Gu Weiyi's face, which indicate that he will face a major test of life and death in the near future. A situation that can put a cultivator in danger of life is either inextricably linked to evil cultivators or closely related to some ominous evil creature."
"Whichever the possibility is, the current situation is extremely precarious and full of dangers."
Her tone was calm, but the worry revealed in her words was hard to ignore.
Pei Yu's mind had long been occupied by the harsh reality before him, and he believed Sheng Junwei's judgment almost without hesitation.
Working together for many years gave him an almost blind trust in her judgment.
Before Pei Yu could respond, Fan Ruoxuan on the side was already shocked and incredulous. He blurted out, "Not really? How could you be so vicious? Just because of a few words, you cursed someone to have their life in danger?"
He then turned his attention to Pei Yu, "Brother Pei, you don't really believe her alarmist words, do you? Ouyang Xiong is the chief disciple of Pinglong Mountain. He has profound cultivation and treasures. It's easy for him to subdue demons and monsters. How could he easily meet with an accident?"
Faced with Fan Ruoxuan's questioning, Sheng Junwei chose to remain silent, secretly sighing at his naivety.
Just as he was about to speak again, a subtle silencing spell fell silently on him, preventing him from saying any more nonsense.
She secretly sighed in her heart that the aura of the Girl of Destiny was indeed extraordinary, and even bystanders could feel the captivating power.
Obviously, this power has quietly planted the seeds of affection for Han Yueer in Fan Ruoxuan's heart.
As for Pei Yu, one day in the future, when he realizes that he has inadvertently become the link between his sweetheart and his good friend, the complex feelings he will have will probably be mixed and difficult to describe.
The noise around gradually settled and eventually turned into silence, as if even the dust in the air had stopped jumping. Only Sheng Junwei's meaningful eyes were left, fixed on Pei Yu, as if to penetrate the calm on the surface and look directly into the waves deep in his heart.
Pei Yu felt the solemnity, and a trace of determination flashed across his brows. He temporarily put aside the tenderness in his heart and revealed the key information in the most direct and concise language: "Our target is Nanping Village."
