Chapter 691 I Won’t Accept My Fate

Ye Wenyan shook her head, "I don't know, maybe they don't know we've arrived so suddenly, or maybe they're not in the house right now." She was talking about Ji Rong and Ji Duo. Ji Rong came with Old Madam Ye to keep an eye on her and to investigate whether Ye Jingsheng's father still had any contact with the Jiang family. Ji Duo went out of the city with them, riding a horse by himself, and arrived a few days earlier than them.

"Then let's wait for the meal, take a shower after the meal, and then rest! I've been busy traveling these days and haven't even stayed in a proper inn. I feel like I'm about to fall apart." Feng Zhaolian rubbed against Ye Wenyan's side, and the group took off their raincoats. Because the rain was too heavy, even with the raincoats on, the clothes were still wet. She didn't mind, and stretched out her hand to hold Ye Wenyan's arm, "Ayan, there are two main rooms, just right for the two of us, one for the two of them."

Ye Wenyan shuddered subconsciously and turned to look at Shi Liyuan. As expected, the Emperor was unhappy.

"Why are you and Ah Yan in the same room?"

"Because we are both women! Of course women sleep with women. What, you want to sleep with Ayan? No way. I tell you, engagement and marriage are two different things. Our Ayan is a girl from a good family. Don't even think about taking advantage of her before you marry her home in a grand ceremony." As she spoke, she hugged Ye Wenyan's arms tighter.

Ye Wenyan wanted to say that they had slept on the same couch many times before, just sleeping and doing nothing. But she also felt that what Feng Zhaolian said made sense, and it was for her own good, so she couldn't be ungrateful.

So he nodded and said, "You're right."

The Emperor twitched his lips and glanced at Yun Xiao. Yun Xiao felt a sense of fear for no reason, so he immediately said, "I won't sleep. It's not peaceful outside. I'll keep watch for everyone." The Emperor nodded, showing his satisfaction. Feng Zhaolian snorted and muttered, "Bullying." Then he didn't say anything else.

The person who brought the dinner came and went in a hurry, with an expression of panic that could not be concealed. Feng Zhaolian called a person and ordered: "Prepare bathing water for everyone in our room. We will take a bath after dinner."

The maid who was stopped stamped her feet in anger and said, "Can't you just hold back? It's already dark now. If the old lady hadn't ordered us to bring you food, none of us would still be walking around at this hour. If you want to take a bath, do it tomorrow. You can do whatever you want with us in the morning. There is a rule in the mansion that no one is allowed to leave the room after dark. No matter how important the matter is, we should wait until tomorrow morning."

She was about to leave after she finished speaking, but Feng Zhaolian pulled her back, "Hey, don't go, it's raining heavily outside, we've been traveling for several days, how can we sleep without a bath? If you are afraid of that murderous demon, then I will go with you and protect you, okay? Anyway, I must take a bath, if you don't prepare water for me, I will ask your old lady to prepare it for me." "You..." The maid stomped her feet in anger again, "Forget it, wait, I'll ask someone to prepare water for you. I really owe you, and I don't know what kind of relative of the old lady he is. Isn't it said that he is a distant relative? A distant relative is so pretentious."

The little maid muttered and left. Feng Zhaolian curled her lips, sat down and started to eat. After eating two bites, she couldn't help but start talking again: "Who is the person who killed people in Xiushan County? Why did he kill so many people? And why did he throw the bodies in front of the Jiang Mansion? Could it be that he has a grudge against the Jiang family and is taking this opportunity to retaliate against the entire Xiushan County? That's too cruel."

Yun Xiao said, "It is very possible. In the martial arts world, it is common for a clan to be wiped out because of one person, and there are also cases where a village or town is wiped out because of a clan. Usually, this is a big revenge. You say he is too cruel, but after hearing about his hatred, you can empathize with him. If it were me, I would go crazy. You say he should do this, but a large part of the people who died were innocent. So this is a very contradictory thing, and usually this kind of thing is related to the incompetence of the local government." Ye Wenyan agreed with him, "Yes, if there is a place to complain and the perpetrator can be brought to justice, who would be willing to take the risk of revenge? But if a village or town is massacred for no reason, then this kind of thing cannot be tolerated."

Yun Xiao thought about it and said to Feng Zhaolian, "I'll go to the county at night to see if I can find any clues."

Feng Zhaolian asked him distrustfully, "Can you do it? That person must be very skilled in martial arts to be able to kill in this way, or it is very likely that he is not alone. Your injuries are not fully healed yet, it is not safe to go out."

Yun Xiao shook his head, "It's okay, the injury has healed, I won't fight head-on, don't worry."

Feng Zhaolian thought about it, and said "hmm", but didn't say anything else. Yun Xiao looked at Shi Liyuan again, and Shi Liyuan noticed something, put down the bowl in his hand and asked him: "Why, do you still want me to go with you?"

Yun Xiao shuddered, shook his head quickly, put down his bowl and chopsticks, said he had finished eating, and left in a hurry. Feng Zhaolian said to Shi Liyuan: "Don't be so fierce all the time. Now that we are out, you should stop putting on airs like the emperor. Isn't it better for everyone to be harmonious? Besides, you are a man, you should go outside with Yun Xiao to investigate."

Shi Liyuan glanced at her and said, "We are all out, what are you going to do?"

"Our Ah Yan is so capable, why are you worried?"

"I just feel uneasy. Also, she is not yours, she belongs to me."

Lord Emperor returned to his room. Feng Zhaolian sighed and said, "You two are really good friends. Even the men you choose have the same temper."

Ye Wenyan didn't react for a moment and asked her: "Who are you talking about?"

"You and Ah Heng! The men you two date have the same temper. They both regard the girls they love as if they were their own eyes and cannot leave them for even a moment. But the girls they like are obviously so amazing that they are almost invincible. I don't understand what they have to worry about. But having said that, I still envy you and Ah Heng. If one day I can meet someone like this and I happen to like him, it would be a wonderful thing, right? But it's a pity that it's difficult."

"Is it difficult? That Xuan Tianhua, what kind of temper does he have?"

Hearing her mention Xuan Tianhua, Feng Zhaolian gave a bitter smile, "He, he has the same temper, but unfortunately he has not met a girl that he likes so much. ...No, he has met one, but the girl doesn't like him, she likes someone else."

"How could someone who is so outstanding not like her?" Ye Wenyan immediately reacted after saying this, "He likes Ah Heng?"

"Well, he probably likes Ah Heng. Every time he mentions Ah Heng, the feeling is very different, and the way he looks at Ah Heng is also different. But Ah Heng is his sister-in-law, so no matter how much he likes her, he has to hide it and can't say it."

She stood up and said, "Let's not talk about this anymore. The more we talk, the more upset we become. Let's have the servants come in and collect the food tomorrow morning. Let's take a bath and change clothes quickly. I'm dying of sleep." Ye Wenyan watched Feng Zhaolian walk around the screen and put her clothes on it one by one. She heard the sound of water entering the water and said, "Actually, a small cleansing technique can achieve a better effect than a bath. There's no need to go through so much trouble."

The person behind the screen said, "That's different. I still feel that soaking in water is more enjoyable. Ah Yan, immortals also became immortals through cultivation. You can't forget the joy of being a human just because you have become an immortal."

Ye Wenyan remembered the same words she had said to Shi Liyuan before. She told Shi Liyuan to learn how to enjoy the worldly life and not to be so high and mighty as to do everything with magic just because he was the emperor. With the worldly life, that is life.

But in fact, Shi Liyuan was the one who started practicing as a mortal, while she was born as a spirit fetus, and had been accompanied by a flower spirit since the moment she was born. Strictly speaking, she had never been a mortal for a single day.

She also walked around the screen, took off her clothes and soaked in the water. This wooden barrel was even bigger than Feng Zhaolian's, and it was very comfortable to soak in. This comfort made people sleepy easily. Ye Wenyan closed her eyes and leaned on the edge of the wooden barrel, listening to Feng Zhaolian's words in a daze.

"Ah Yan, I feel like there's something wrong between you and your guy these past few days. Are you being a little too cautious?"

"Be careful. It's easier to make mistakes with caution."

"What could go wrong? You are all gods, with extraordinary means. What in this world could make you go wrong?"

Ye Wenyan opened his eyes and sighed softly, "I don't know what will go wrong, but caution is definitely necessary. The suppression of spiritual power by this rain has a huge impact on us. Although small spells like the Cleansing Spell are not affected, once something happens, such spells are useless! We are used to relying on spells, especially him. I am always worried that the rain will get heavier as we go south. What if we can't use any spiritual power by the time we reach the shoreless sea? What's the point of us going there? If there is any abnormality in the shoreless sea, how can we deal with it?"

Hearing her say this, Feng Zhaolian was also a little depressed. "Yes, even as a mortal, I know that if there is any abnormal movement in the Wu'an Sea, I am afraid that it is not something that mortals can resist. In the past, our predecessors in Guiyue said that the world depends on an emperor to support it. The world changed four hundred years ago, and it may change again in the future. Whether we can live well depends on how capable that emperor is. But now you say that your spiritual power is suppressed, Ah Yan, I am also a little panicked."

Ye Wenyan smiled, "Don't panic, what is coming will eventually come. Even if we retreat now, it will be too late. Since we can't retreat, we can only keep moving forward. I want to see what God wants to do, whether he wants to destroy this continent or me and Shi Liyuan. Of course, no matter what he wants to destroy, it is impossible. Now that I am here, I will not accept my fate anymore."
