The mistress just wanted to be bad, but she took off after being replaced

Just now, she not only successfully broke the extremely dangerous "Hundred Dreams Killing Skill", but also used the long-range talisman technique to destroy the years of cultivation of the evil cultivator in one fell swoop.

By that time, that person's strength had plummeted to the level of a mortal, and he could no longer stir up any waves in this world.

In fact, with her ability, it would be easy for her to completely end that person's life.

After all, a vicious formation like "Hundred Dreams Killing" relies on the sacrifice and nourishment of the pure blood of innocent girls to continuously strengthen its own level.

And to date, behind the terrifying power it has displayed, how many innocent girls have been sacrificed?

For such a villain, death may be the most merciful relief.

However, Sheng Junwei chose to spare his life temporarily and use him as bait to lure out the mastermind behind the incident.

Without much speculation, she could determine which powerful person was willing to spend a large sum of money to use this evil cultivator to achieve some ulterior motive.

Not only has the evil cultivator's mission failed, he has also sacrificed hundreds of years of cultivation. Even the "Hundred Dreams Killing" formation flag that he regarded as a treasure was destroyed. One can imagine the resentment and unwillingness in his heart.

To him, Sheng Junwei has become a person that cannot be underestimated, so naturally he dare not have any malicious intentions towards her anymore. His anger will naturally turn to the real mastermind behind the scenes.

For Sheng Junwei, what she likes to see most is this kind of situation of mutual calculation and biting each other.

However, if he underestimated that person's revengeful heart, and that person really dared to come to him to seek revenge...

Sheng Junwei chuckled.

Such a person is nothing more than a stray dog ​​who has lost his shelter and is homeless.

Not long after Sheng Junwei returned to Linfeng Pavilion, Pei Yu hurried over.

Although Sheng Junwei herself was not hurt at all today, Rou'er was extremely frightened by this sudden change. When she came back, her face was pale and she looked dazed and uneasy.

The housekeeper in the mansion keenly noticed Rou'er's abnormality and quickly reported the matter to Pei Yu.

"Are you OK?"

Pei Yu's concern was evident in his words.

Sheng Junwei shook her head gently, with a hint of determination in her eyes: "I'm fine, don't worry."

Pei Yu stared at her, his eyes flashing with confusion. Her calmness was in stark contrast to the thrilling experience the housekeeper had described earlier. "The housekeeper said that Miss Rou'er seemed to have been frightened on the way, but you are so calm now. Are you really not affected at all?"

His voice was gentle, but it contained subtle worry.

Sheng Junwei smiled lightly, as if recalling something unpleasant, and confessed: "To be honest, someone did hire an evil cultivator to harm us, and Rou'er was indeed frightened by it."

There was a complicated light in her eyes, and that experience was obviously not a pleasant memory.

Pei Yu's expression changed slightly, and a trace of doubt flashed between his brows. "Evil cultivators? Do you mean those evil cultivators who strayed from the right path and practiced forbidden techniques?"

There was a mixture of shock and alarm in his voice.

Sheng Junwei nodded, her expression serious, "That's right, their methods are extremely dangerous."

Pei Yu's brows furrowed even tighter. Although he was not very clear about the specific strength of the evil cultivators, he had an instinctive fear and disgust for the cruelty and power of these people who harmed the world and behaved erratically.

"This is a coincidence. I heard that the young master of Tianyu Villa will be our guest today. Perhaps we can ask him to help hunt down those evil cultivators."

When Sheng Junwei heard this, a hint of surprise and amusement flashed in her eyes, "The young master of Tianyu Villa? How interesting! From what I remember, he is one of Han Yueer's important friends in the future."

Her thoughts seemed to drift back to the distant past. Everything at that time, now looking back, had a bit of the color of fate.

She thought to herself that Pei Yu, as the prime minister of the current dynasty, had once ordered his troops to besiege Tianyu Villa due to a personal affair. This past event was particularly deep in her memory.

And today, the young master of Tianyu Villa will meet Han Yueer for the first time. This seemingly accidental meeting actually contains the foreshadowing of fate.

What’s more interesting is how an interesting event that is about to happen today will stir up this pool of spring water?

Seeing Pei Yu's bewildered expression, she asked softly, so he explained: "Young Master Li of Tianyu Villa and I are old friends. When I was young and roaming around the world, I had the honor of staying at Tianyu Villa for a while."

His eyes flickered, as if he was lost in nostalgia for the past.

Pei Yu changed the topic and mentioned tomorrow's party. "By the way, there will be a party at my house tomorrow night. I have invited several friends to come. Junwei, do you want to join us?"

There was a hint of anticipation in his words.

Sheng Junwei raised her eyebrows and said with a half-smile, "Miss Han will also attend this party?"

There was a hint of inquiry in her voice.

Pei Yu's face flashed with embarrassment, "She will appear as an ordinary friend."

He said this with some difficulty, and there was an imperceptible heaviness in his tone.

Sheng Junwei's heart was in turmoil, "Friends?"

She could hardly believe her ears.

Could the relationship between them actually return to such a dull state?

In her two lives, she had never encountered such complicated emotional entanglements.

Si Qi once shared with her that in some enlightened places, the end of a marriage does not mean becoming enemies, and lovers can remain friendly after breaking up, but all this is so strange and unimaginable to her.

Pei Yu responded softly, trying his best to pretend that everything was normal, but the loneliness hidden under the calm surface could not be concealed no matter what.

Yue'er's proposal of breakup was like a heavy hammer, shattering all his hopes.

She once said that his marriage was a fact and he could not abandon his wife for her. Coupled with the many conflicts within the family, it seemed that separation was the only way out.

That day, they talked until late at night. He tried to save the relationship, but she asked back: "Can I bear to share a husband with other women? Can you change all this?"

His words were filled with helplessness and despair.

Pei Yu understood that, at least in the short term, there was nothing he could do about it.

He promised to find a suitable opportunity to propose a divorce in the future, but that was definitely not the moment.

When he confessed this idea, Yue Er just sneered in response, "How many years did you say? I'm only seventeen years old this year. In many places, women of this age already have children and grandchildren around them. Because of you, I missed too much, and now I'm already considered an older leftover woman."

There was sadness and reluctance in her eyes. "If I wait a few more years, I will be almost 30 years old. Who will be willing to marry me? You want me to wait. Isn't this request too cruel and heartless?"

Faced with such questioning, Pei Yu was speechless.

Caught between love and responsibility, he made a painful choice, because it was he who pushed Junwei into the abyss of despair with his own hands.
