The villain, Xiao Nanliang, caused the female lead excruciating pain.

Upon reading the words on the note, Mu Feier's face turned ashen, and she swayed, nearly falling. She quickly reached out to hold onto the door frame to steady herself.

"No...it's impossible..."

How can a person just die like that?

Ignoring her disheveled appearance after just waking up, Mu Feier flashed and sped towards the main peak like an arrow.

Shortly after, Mu Feier, panting and looking somewhat disheveled, appeared in the main hall of the summit.

Upon seeing Du Yunyi handling her affairs, Mu Feier quickly approached her.

Where is Su Qi?

Du Yunyi put down what she was doing, glanced at the woman beside her, and gestured for her to leave. She only spoke after the woman had gone some distance.

"What? You're happy to hear that Su Qi is going to die?"

His icy gaze, like frost, made Mu Feier's body tremble slightly.

"No... I didn't..."

Du Yunyi looked away, her brows furrowed slightly, as if even glancing at her was annoying, and then she let out a long sigh.

“He was lucid for a while last night and made his own arrangements. He told me to bury him anywhere, since he was just a beggar who was picked up and taken in, a rootless duckweed in life, and there was no need to miss him in death.”

Mufier trembled.

Life is like a rootless duckweed, death is nothing to reminisce about...

Is there really nothing in this world that he can remember? He doesn't even plan to leave a grave.

"He said he only owes two people in this life. One is our master, who is also his adoptive mother, but unfortunately he can't repay her. The other is you. If it weren't for him, you wouldn't have been forced into a marriage. He gave you everything he had, and if you still feel that you can't make up for it, he is willing to be your servant in your next life."

“No…he doesn’t owe me anything…” Mu Fei’er covered her mouth and cried.

“I also think he doesn’t owe you anything; on the contrary, you owe him something.” Du Yunyi’s eyes were cold.

"So even though he told me not to let you know about his death, I couldn't do it. After all, he did so much for you. Anyone can ignore his death, but you can't!"

At this point, Du Yunyi was clearly very angry. She clenched her fists involuntarily, exuding a faint aura of pressure, and stared directly at the weeping Mu Feier.

"As a wife, how could you stand by and watch your husband die? If I hadn't promised to protect you, I really would have wanted to slap you to death."

The murderous intent was real. When she thought of her past life, when this woman indirectly caused the death of her little beggar, Du Yunyi, as a mother, could not suppress it.

Seeing Mu Feier's fake crying, she couldn't help but feel annoyed.

"Now that things have come to this, who are you trying to fool with this hypocritical act? It's because you clearly have the ability, but you're unwilling to save him."

“No, I just didn’t think it through yesterday. He’s the only person who’s good to me right now, how could I not want to save him?” Mu Fei’er blurted out these words unconsciously.

Du Yunyi squinted at Mu Feier.

Is he really regretting it?

Or do they still think Su Qi is really dead, so they're just offering hindsight advice?

Forget it, whether it's genuine or not doesn't matter anymore.

"You...are you really willing to save Junior Brother Su?"

This question startled Mu Feier.

"Senior Sister Du, what do you mean? Does this mean Su Qi is still alive?"

"Not yet, but soon! I figured you wouldn't agree to save him anyway, and he'd die in the end, so I'm preparing for the funeral in advance." Du Yunyi shrugged, then narrowed her eyes and glanced at him suspiciously.

"You just said you were willing to save him, you didn't think he was dead and are just saying that after the fact, did you?"

"I don't……"

Mu Feier lowered her head, a hint of panic flashing in her eyes.

She herself couldn't tell whether she genuinely wanted to save Su Qi.

When she said that just now, she did have a bit of an hindsight mentality.

She knew it was despicable, but as long as one is human, there will be similar base instincts.

"Since you're willing, then let's go."

The thought of that big jerk trying to steal her little cabbage made Du Yunyi even more unhappy.

"Huh? Now?" Mu Fei'er asked, somewhat flustered.

"What? You want to wait until he's really dead before you start offering hindsight advice?"

"No...no..."

The two returned to the room. Su Qi lay on the ice bed in the same position as yesterday, her breath faint, like a flower about to wither, possessing a desolate beauty.

Well, the term "Sleeping Beauty" should be applied to him.

"give it to you!"

Du Yunyi tossed out a martial arts technique, then turned and left.

Mu Feier subconsciously took it, flipped open the cultivation manual and glanced at it, her face instantly turning red.

"Hurry up, or Junior Brother Su will really die."

Before closing the door, Du Yunyi spoke again. On the surface, she urged him on, but in reality, her heart was bleeding.

My precious cabbage!

……

About half a day later, Mu Feier finally walked out with a flushed face and somewhat unnatural posture.

"How is it?" Du Yunyi, who was waiting outside, quickly approached. Although she was asking, she could already tell.

Mu Feier's cultivation level dropped from the Nascent Soul Realm to the Golden Core Realm, which clearly indicates that she has succeeded.

Thinking that Su Qi had finally broken through to the Golden Core stage, the heartache of the cabbage being eaten by the pig was slightly relieved.

"I feel..." Mu Feier seemed a little absent-minded. Her face flushed when she heard the question, and she answered shyly, "No... not really, I'm a little tired."

Du Yunyi's face darkened upon hearing this: "Who asked you about that feeling? I'm asking you how Junior Brother Su is?"

"what?!"

Coming to her senses, Mu Feier realized what she had just said, blushed deeply, and dared not meet Du Yunyi's gaze, but still answered.

“I have already helped Junior Brother Su advance to the Golden Core stage, but he has not awakened.”

His tone was somewhat hurried.

If we've already paid such a high price and still haven't managed to save the person, then we've suffered a huge loss.

"He won't wake up so quickly. Improving his cultivation can only help him withstand the effects of the Rejuvenation Pill. To fully recover, he needs to recuperate slowly. You should go back and stabilize your cultivation first. I'll heal his injuries."

After saying that, Du Yunyi ignored her, went into the room, closed the door, and restarted the restriction to completely isolate the inside from the outside.

Her gaze swept over the ice bed, and seeing Su Qi still lying there pretending to be dead, Du Yunyi got angry for no reason, walked over, grabbed his ear, and pulled him up.

"You brat, still pretending?"

……

Qifeng Courtyard.

Back in her room, Mufier buried herself in the bed and pulled the covers over her head.

For some reason, the scenes in that room kept replaying in her mind and wouldn't go away.

The thought that I actually took the initiative...

Her face couldn't help but feel hot.

Mufier thought she would regret it, but she didn't. Instead, she felt a sense of relief.

Perhaps, he had already let go of Ye Feng long ago...
