Phantom Spear - C163

The last time he said it: When Young Master Liu came to the Virtuous Talent Gathering Hall, Shi Yi and Dong Xin decided to open the gate and receive him. Young Master Liu asked the two of them to help him inform the others. Shi Yi was afraid that Dong Xin would accept the Young Master Liu’s money, so he instructed him to go ask Jiang Feng to stay behind to accompany him.

Inside the Imperial Study of the imperial palace, the emperor was currently reviewing the memorials sent by officials from various places. The emperor had a habit of not wanting to be disturbed while he was working seriously, so his eunuchs and palace maids tactfully waited at the far end of the door. There were only two Imperial Bodyguard left standing guard by the door. If there was anything important or urgent, the Emperor would instruct them to do.

The two Imperial Bodyguard s who were originally standing upright suddenly bowed towards the newcomer respectfully, and said: “Your subordinates greets Master Lu.”

Lu Jianfei made a gesture to skip the formalities and asked: “Is the emperor in the Imperial Study?”

Guard A replied: “Reporting to sire, the emperor has ordered that if you come, please wait for a moment outside the door. We are allowed to inform you that you can enter.”

Lu Jianfei nodded slightly. He had followed the emperor for so many years, so he naturally knew of the emperor’s office habits.

Guard B walked outside the Imperial Study, lightly knocked on the door, and respectfully reported: “Your Majesty, Master Lu requests an audience.”

Not long after, a thick voice came from inside, “Alright, let him in!”

The guard replied, “Yes, this subordinate understands.” He quickly retreated and gestured towards Lu Jianfei.

Lu Jianfei walked to the door, knocked on it first. The emperor heard, and said: “Jian Fei, come in directly.” Lu Jianfei then pushed the door open and immediately closed it.

On the other hand, within the Virtuous Talent Gathering Hall of Capital.

Jiang Feng sat on the ground outside of Xiao Muyu’s room and stared blankly for a long time. He could not resolve the knot in his heart, and he did not know how he could apologize to Huang Yue. He also did not return to the study room, because he felt that if he continued to get closer to Liu Bingbing, it would be disrespecting him.

Just as he was hesitating, Faang Xinyao walked over and patted his shoulder. Jiang Feng recovered from her shock, raised her head and said: “Oh, so it’s Lady Faang. Why are you here?” Faang Xinyao asked indifferently: “Big Brother Jiang, why are you sitting here?”

Jiang Feng lowered his head, and laughed bitterly: “I am reflecting on myself here.” Faang Xinyao saw that he had not gotten up yet, and noticed that his expression was strange, she guessed something, and asked softly: Big Brother Jiang, what are you thinking about? “If you keep it in your heart for a long time, you won’t be able to take it.”

Jiang Feng sighed, realizing that it was not polite to sit on the ground and talk to Faang Xinyao like this, he patted the dust off his clothes, then stood up and invited Faang Xinyao to sit by the stone table.

Jiang Feng looked depressed and sighed: “Lady Faang, it’s not that I don’t want to tell you my thoughts, but my mind is just too messed up, and I don’t know where to start.”

This is the first time Faang Xinyao has seen him fluster like this. She herself felt a little worried, and said:” Fine, since that’s the case, you can answer one of my questions. ” Jiang Feng indicated for her to continue speaking as he seriously asked: “Big Brother Jiang, just now, when I came out of the house, I saw a young lady with luxurious clothes and a noble temperament. She should be a young miss with a rich background. Jiang Feng’s mind was already in a mess, but being questioned by Faang Xinyao all of a sudden made him even more at a loss of what to do. He thought: How am I supposed to tell Lady Faang, is she Liu Shichen’s daughter? If it’s like this, she will definitely think that Liu Shichen and I have colluded with each other and that she has lost her trust in me. No, definitely not!

Seeing that he did not speak for a long time, Faang Xinyao became even more suspicious, and asked: “Big Brother Jiang, don’t you see me as a good friend? “You definitely know the true identity of that lady. Why can’t you tell her?”

Jiang Feng knew that it would be useless to lie to Faang Xinyao anymore, so he could only sigh and shake his head.

Seeing Jiang Feng’s expression, Faang Xinyao already had an answer in her heart, and asked: “Is she Liu Shichen’s daughter?”

Jiang Feng replied softly, “Lady Faang, your guess is right. The lady you saw just now, is indeed Liu Shichen’s daughter.”

After Faang Xinyao heard Jiang Feng’s answer, his body could not help but be startled for a moment, and asked. “You … Since you already know her identity, why are you still interacting with her? ” Jiang Feng was at a loss for words.

Faang Xinyao was very angry, and said: “Could it be, all of this is a trap that you and Liu Shichen set for me? You have been colluding with them for a long time, do you want to kill me and my father? ”

At the moment, Jiang Feng’s mind was in a mess, if he did not explain himself clearly, he was afraid that he would be burdened with the crime, and immediately explained: “Lady Faang, listen to me explain, this is not what you think.”

Faang Xinyao said angrily: “Enough, I don’t want to hear your explanation. Jiang Feng, I was really mistaken about you. ” She stood up and turned to leave.

Jiang Feng suddenly shouted with an even higher voice: “Faang Xinyao, stop right there!” Faang Xinyao did not expect Jiang Feng to suddenly roar at him, and was shocked by him, causing him to stand there motionlessly, unmoving.

Jiang Feng quickly walked to her side and said anxiously: “Lady Faang, think about it. If I, Jiang Feng, really joined forces with my Liu Family to harm you, would there be a need to beat around the bush like that? I can kill you right now and take your head to ask for credit from that old thief Liu Shichen. Do you remember what I told you about my life? If you think about it carefully, with such an irreconcilable hatred, how could I possibly work for Liu Shichen? ”

Faang Xinyao was also confused by what happened today. She took a few deep breaths and tried to calm herself down. I remember Big Brother Jiang told me before that his father was the previous Prefect of Hangzhou Jiang Cheng. The annihilation of the entire Jiang Family was caused by Liu Shichen himself. He had a blood feud with Liu Shichen, how could he serve his father who killed his enemies?

Thinking to this point, Faang Xinyao also felt that her suspicions towards Jiang Feng were indeed very unfair. She took a glance at Jiang Feng, and at this moment, the expression in his eyes was one of unswerving determination. His eyes were the window to his heart and mind, Jiang Feng was not the type of person who was shrewd enough to deceive her.

Faang Xinyao lowered her head, and said apologetically: “I’m sorry, Big Brother Jiang, I was a little impulsive just now, and misunderstood you, I … …”

Jiang Feng shook his head, and said in a low voice: “Sigh, Lady Faang, you’re not entirely responsible. Actually, the fact that Liu Bingbing and I know each other was entirely a coincidence. Something happened that really made me think of her as a friend. However, I also know that her father is my arch enemy, and I will never forget him even in my dreams. But Liu Shichen was Liu Shichen, she was her. It’s unfair to her that I can’t vent the grudges of the previous generation on her. When my Jiang’s Mansion was destroyed, I’m afraid she wasn’t even born yet, so what crime did she have? ”

Faang Xinyao also felt that what Jiang Feng said was reasonable and said: “Big Brother Jiang, I know that you are kind, and I also know that the matter between your family is unrelated to her. But did it ever occur to you that in the future, we will definitely be on the opposite side of them? If we continue to have a good relationship with her, it will not be good for us in the end. ”

“Have I never thought of your concerns? But instead of going to look for her, she came to see me. Just based on this feeling alone, she’s a girl. I don’t want to hurt her, she’s not wrong. ” Jiang Feng bit his lower lip and said.

Faang Xinyao understood the pain in Jiang Feng’s heart. Wasn’t this also the case for him and Young Master Liu? But, she couldn’t think about it any longer, not even a little bit …

What about later?

And then we’ll see how it breaks down in the next round.
