Return of the Phoenix Lady

After returning to Fengyun Tower, a man behind Feng Linbing walked in first and shouted, "Young Master Feng is here! The rest of you, get out of here!" As soon as they heard the three words "Young Master Feng", the diners who were leisurely enjoying the delicious food immediately scattered like birds and beasts. Their movements were so swift.

Feng Linbing nodded with satisfaction upon seeing this, and walked into the empty lobby with a smug look on his face.

"Come, Miss Ye'er, let's go to the private room on the second floor. It's quiet there." Then he said to the young man behind him, "You guys can have your meal here!" So, under the leadership of Feng Linbing, Han Xing and others had dinner with Feng Linbing on the second floor. Only he was there to show his courtesy and Mei Ye only responded occasionally.

After dinner, Feng Linbing had no reason to stay any longer. Before leaving, he looked at Mei Ye meaningfully and left reluctantly.

"Xiao Yeye, aren't you afraid that Ying Jue will be jealous by doing this?" Don't forget, Ying Jue and Ying Chen are here! Maybe Ying Jue heard the noise and quietly ran out to see what was going on.

"Hmph~ He doesn't care about me anyway, so why should I be jealous?" Mei Ye snorted in a fit of anger. Well, they were a pair of star-crossed lovers. They obviously loved each other, but Ying Jue had a stubborn personality and just refused to accept Mei Ye. No one knew why.

Speak of the devil, and he appears. Ying Jue just happened to walk out from inside, and Ying Rui came with him.

"How is Yingchen?" Han Xing asked the two of them.

"Brother is fine. He went to bed after dinner. But you, young master, didn't even tell me that you went out to play, and gave me such a hard job!" Ying Rui looked at Han Xing with resentment and said dissatisfiedly.

Han Xing ignored Ying Rui's resentful look like a young wife, and looked at Ying Jue's gloomy face with amusement. Presumably, he must have seen it.

After chatting for a while, everyone went back to their rooms to rest.

Late at night, after Han Xing finished his training and took a short nap, he heard a hurried knock on the door: "Master! Master! Something bad has happened!"

It was Yirou's voice.

Han Xing immediately got up and waved his hand, and the door opened by itself.

Yi Rou, wearing only a single layer of clothing, rushed in and said anxiously, "Master, Mei Ye is missing! She said she was going to the bathroom, but she didn't come back for a long time, so I went to look for her, but there was no sign of her!"

As they were talking, Jin Yifeng, Ying Rui and the drunk Ying Jue rushed in. They also heard Yi Rou's movements.

When Ying Jue heard Yi Rou say that Mei Ye was missing, he immediately turned around and wanted to chase after her, but was stopped by Han Xing's scolding.

"Ying Jue, stop! It's been so long, the person must have gone far away. There's nowhere to chase him! Calm down!"

Ying Jue still had a blank expression on his face, but there was such obvious pain and worry in his eyes.

Han Xing sighed softly and analyzed slowly, "Mei Ye isn't an impulsive person. He wouldn't act alone without saying a word, so it's very likely that he was captured by someone, and that person is most likely Feng Linbing's man!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ying Jue's fists were clenched so tightly that they made a creaking sound.

"Based on how much Feng Linbing likes Mei Ye, her life should not be in danger, and her cultivation is no worse than Feng Linbing's, so nothing should happen. The only thing we can do now is to find her quickly! But before you are sure to rescue her, don't break into the Feng family to avoid alerting the enemy! Especially you, Ying Jue, don't be impulsive!" Han Xing rubbed his eyebrows and said.

Seeing everyone's different expressions, Han Xing had no choice but to wave his hand and said, "Alright! Go back first! Don't worry, Mei Ye will be fine!"

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded and went back to their rooms obediently.

Only Ying Jue was left standing there with his head down.

"It's useless no matter how long you stand there. Mei Ye won't suddenly come back to you!" Han Xing said bluntly.

Ying Jue heard this, moved, and said with a slightly painful voice: "Master, I'm sorry..."

"I'm not the one you should apologize to." Han Xing reminded lightly.

Ying Jue suddenly opened his eyes, and the beautiful figure appeared in his mind. He closed his eyes again in pain and murmured, "I'm sorry... I'm sorry..."

Han Xing sighed helplessly and asked, "Ying Jue, I really can't understand why you won't accept Mei Ye?"

"I... I'm not worthy of it..." A voice as soft as a mosquito's buzz came out from Ying Jue's lips.

Han Xing still heard it, and was startled when he heard it. Then he reacted and said, "You are not reluctant to accept Mei Ye because of that incident before, right?"

When Ying Jue heard this, he lowered his head even lower, and said in a choked voice: "I... I am too dirty... I am not worthy of her..."

Han Xing was silent. Well! That incident was a shadow in Ying Jue's heart.

He remembered the first time he saw him. It was in a desolate wilderness. Han Xing couldn't recall how he'd walked in. All he remembered was that there lay a naked, battered teenager. He bore knife wounds, whip marks, bruises from being pinched... Some of the wounds had become inflamed and oozing pus from prolonged untreated treatment. The boy's eyes were closed, his face blue, and it was clear he was barely alive. Han Xing knew he'd been raped. What kind of beast could have been so brutal, torturing him like this and then cruelly abandoning him? An idea suddenly struck Han Xing. He decisively rescued the boy and brought him back to the Holy Mountain for months of recuperation. He finally recovered. Since then, he's been silent, neither crying nor laughing. Han Xing said nothing, simply teaching him his cultivation. Later, after returning from one of his trips, he became Han Xing's unwavering obedience, becoming the Ying Jue he is today.

At this time, Ying Jue opened his mouth and said, "I was an orphan, and was later rescued by my former master. He raised me and trained me to be a killer, but... I didn't expect that behind such kindness and gentleness, there was a dirty desire hidden! He actually violated me, and I wished he would die, so I wanted to kill him, but I failed. In a rage, he threw me to a few grown men... Later, they threw me in the wilderness, wanting me to fend for myself. Unexpectedly, the young master appeared, and they didn't expect that a few years later, I would kill them with my own hands!" At this, a cold light flashed in Ying Jue's eyes. Yes! No one can easily forget such humiliation!

Han Xing was silent for a moment, then suddenly said, "Ying Jue, do you know where I found Mei Ye?"

Without waiting for his answer, Han Xing told him the answer directly: "In the mass grave! Just like you, covered in wounds, with only half a breath left. At first, after I saved her, she was very wary of me. Later, after slowly getting to know her, she finally let down her guard and told me her life story, you know? She used to have a happy family, but then, after her mother died and her father brought another woman and a girl home, things started to change. Her stepmother treated her well in front of her father, but after her father went out, the stepmother treated her like a servant, asking her to do this and that. The girl the stepmother brought back also always made things difficult for her. In the end, what was unexpected was that her stepmother actually wanted to kill her, and did so. If I hadn't saved her in time, there would be no Mei Ye today."

Ying Jue clenched his fists, his eyes bloodshot, and his heart ached. When he thought of Mei Ye lying in a mass grave covered in wounds, he wanted to kill the mother and daughter!

"Each of you has a different life experience, but all of you have gone through the most painful times. Now everything is over. Since those painful pasts are over and those who should be killed have been killed, why do you continue to torture yourself? Shouldn't you cherish your current life? Why do you still want to live in the painful past and be tortured by it?" Han Xing sighed and looked at Ying Jue. He still had the same posture, but there were some other expressions on his face.

"Don't wait until you lose something to regret. That's all I have to say. Go and rest!" Han Xing said lightly, but these few words stirred up a thousand waves in Ying Jue's heart.
