"Are you guys done yet?" There was a hint of a smile on the corners of Hong Yu"s lips as she slowly stepped forward. "Tell me, where"s Ziyan!"

Zhao Yao looked nervous. "I don"t know what you are saying."

"You still want to protect her even until now? Still afraid of letting your wife know her presence?" Hong Yu sneered. "Ziyan already knew beforehand of our Manor Lady"s ident.i.ty, but she chose to conceal it and let you bear the consequences. Think about it… why would she do so?"

Zhao Yao"s face seemed to crack a little as his heart was filled with resentment.

It was all Ziyan"s fault!

If it were not because of Ziyan, he would not have gone against Feng Ruqing, and would not have offended anyone from Fengyun Manor, also… Fei Xue would not have been aware of so many of these things!

If Ziyan could tell him earlier that Feng Ruqing was Fengyun Manor Lady, then he… would never ever dare to slander her again!

"Oh, by the way, do you know about Ziyan"s relations.h.i.+p with Qing Yuan?" Hong Yu continued to walk toward Zhao Yao. "Ziyan was once Liu Yun Kingdom General Manor Young Master"s fiancee. However, she broke their engagement because she got together with Qing Yuan. Soon, Qing Yuan had offended our Manor Master because he wanted to protect her and got expelled from Fengyun Manor as his ability got demoted too."

Zhao Yao"s lips twitched as he remained silent.

He felt a murderous intent toward Ziyan growing in his heart.

"In the end... Qing Yuan was given the cold shoulder because she felt that he could not provide her wealth and status. So, she abandoned him and threw herself into your arms."

Zhao Yao clenched his fists tightly. He knew that his hara.s.sment of the female disciples had severely provoked Fei Xue, she would go insane if she ever finds out that he had kept a mistress behind her back… 

But then, Zhao Yao understood well that if he did not hand over Ziyan today, Fengyun Manor would never stop going after him!

"Zhao Yao!" Fei Xue tightly tugged at Zhao Yao"s sleeves and growled, "Where"s that easy woman? Why are you still protecting her now? What merit does she have to deserve your protection over her?"

She would never let Zhao Yao off, let alone let go of that vile woman! 

She would make anyone who seduced her man suffer a life that was worse than death!

Zhao Yao"s face turned even pale. He looked at Fei Xue and turned to look at Hong Yu again, hopelessly.

"I"ll bring you guys to look for her."

Hong Yu smiled sarcastically. "You better be quick than. I didn"t know that she had colluded with Tang Yu before, or else back then when you guys were in the Forest of Spirit Beasts, you guys wouldn"t even have stood a chance to escape!"

At first, Hong Yu was really ignorant of it as she was shocked to hear that from Fifth Elder just now.

Perhaps, Fifth Elder knew about that from Tang Yu.


Whatever it was, it was no doubt that Ziyan must die today!

"Tang Yu... who is she?" Zhao Yao asked, stutteringly.

Hong Yu looked at Zhao Yao, coldly. "She was the one who had plotted to kill our Manor Master and Manor Lady."

Zhao Yao"s legs went limp and almost went down on his knees.

He did not keep a mistress but a person who had brought so much trouble to him.

Even though nothing happened that day, as long as Ziyan was a girl he kept outside of his official relations.h.i.+p, then... Fengyun Manor"s people would catch up to him eventually!

Zhao Yao gritted his teeth in deep hatred. He should not have been obsessed with beauty back then as by doing so, he had put his whole life into real trouble.

***

Talon"s Gate was built on a mountain and there was a small town at the foot of the mountain. 

The sound of crystals cras.h.i.+ng on the floor came from the most luxurious second courtyard within the small town.

Ziyan had swept all of the tea sets onto the floor. She looked gloomy as her eyes were filled with resentment.
