Chapter 73 – Feng Yu (1/2)
When they heard this voice, the expressions of both Yang Ye and the beautiful woman changed abruptly. Yang Ye swiftly stood up before his sword appeared in his hand because if someone wanted to take his mother away, then that person had to step over his dead body!
The beautiful woman laughed bitterly and said, “What’s coming will come in the end.”
As soon as she finished speaking, she held Yang Ye and Little Yao’s hands and walked out of the stone house.
Five beautiful women that were light blue colored dresses that were covered in flower patterns were standing outside the stone house. There was a gorgeous and lifelike flower of unknown name embroidered on their left chests. Under the rays of moonlight, it emanated a crystalline and dazzling glow.
As he gazed at this emblem, Yang Ye knew that they were from the Flower Palace.
On the other hand, Qing Hong’s group of three that were originally standing on guard outside the house were lying on the ground now. Yang Ye heaved a sigh of relief when he noticed they were still breathing and had just fallen unconscious.
A wisp of a complicated expression flashed in the eyes of Yang Ye’s mother when she saw the beautiful woman in the lead, and she said, “Feng Yi, I never expected that you joined the Flower Guard!”
A wisp of a cold smile suffused the corners of the beautiful woman called Feng Yi, and she said, “Yeah, it took you by surprise, right? All those years ago, your natural talent far exceeded my own, and if you didn’t leave Flower Palace for a man, then your accomplishments now would have probably far exceeded my own! However, unfortunately, you who people called Fairy Feng all those years ago actually fell willingly and betrayed Flower Palace for a man. Because of that, you’re actually only at the second rank of the Spirit Realm now.”
Yang Ye was shocked in his heart when he heard this. This beautiful woman actually knows my mother, but it seems like there’s enmity between them. This isn’t good!
Yang Ye’s mother shook her head and said, “I don’t want to talk about the matters of the past. Feng Yi, out of consideration that we used to be from the sect, let me ask of something from you. Let my children go. It was I who violated the rules of the palace, and it isn’t related to them. So long as you let them go, then I’m willing to return to the palace with you!”
Feng Yi glanced at Yang Ye and Little Yao, and then she said, “Feng Yu, do you think it’s possible? According to the rules of the palace, they must return to the palace with you and be punished. As for whether you’re willing or not, it isn’t up to you any longer!”
“They’re innocent!” Feng Yu spoke in a low voice.
Feng Yi laughed coldly and said, “If they’re your children, then they aren’t innocent. Actually, I really don’t understand what was so good about that man? You actually betrayed the palace for him. Don’t tell me it was because of love. If he really loved you, then he shouldn’t have gotten entangled with you, nor should he have brought you away from the palace. Moreover, don’t tell me that he didn’t know the Flower Palace’s rules!”
A wisp of a painful expression flashed on Feng Yu’s face. After a short moment, she shook her head and said, “I don’t want to speak about the past. Feng Yi, out of consideration for the fact that we used to be disciples of the same sect. I beg you to allow my children to leave.”
“Impossible!” Feng Yi spoke in a low voice. “My refusal isn’t because I envy you. I admit that I’d envied you all those years ago, but when I saw how you are now, I don’t feel envy any longer. Because you’re unworthy of me feeling envious of you. You ought to be clearly aware of the reason I refused. The rules of the Flower Palace aren’t something that you or I can change or go against. They must return with you to receive their punishment!”
Feng Yu still wanted to say something, yet at this moment, Yang Ye gazed at his mother as he knelt on the ground, and he said, “Mother, there’s no need to beg her again. Your son is useless. Even though I’m unable to protect you and Little Yao, I can live and die with mother and Little Yao.”
“Yao’er wants to live and die with mother and Big Brother as well. Yao’er won’t leave mother!” Little Yao held Feng Yu’s hand tightly and spoke firmly.
Two rows of crystalline tears flowed once more from Feng Yu’s eyes. She pulled Yang Ye and Little Yao into her embrace, and then she said, “It’s I who is useless. I don’t have the ability to protect both of you. It’s mother that’s useless….”
When she saw this scene, a wisp of a complicated expression flashed past the eyes of a few beautiful women at the side. But they quickly recovered their calm. Even though they pitied these three people before them, no one dared to go against the rules of the Flower Palace, let alone them!
Feng Yi’s expression was calm while the emotions in her eyes didn’t fluctuate at all. Just as she’d said, she really had been envious of Feng Yu in the past, or it should be said that all the disciples of the ‘Feng’ generation within the Flower Palace were envious of Feng Yu. Because at that time, Feng Yu was called Fairy Feng, and no matter if it was in terms of strength or natural talent, she far surpa.s.sed everyone else. So, no matter how hard they worked, they were unable to compete with her! At that time, Feng Yu ruled the younger generation of Flower Palace!
Of course, at that time, even though she was envious of Feng Yu, Feng Yi didn’t dare offend Feng Yu at all. After all, the entire sect had placed emphasis on fostering Feng Yu at that time, and the sect had to rely on her to seize a position on the Ascension Ranking. However, unfortunately, this disciple that the Flower Palace fostered with all its strength had betrayed the palace for a man, and this utterly infuriated the Palace Master and the other elders at that time.
