Ever since Ye Feng was framed by Luo Zheng and defeated Ye Kui in the martial arts training ground, the entire Ye City seemed to suddenly become peaceful.
In the backyard of the Ye family, the midday sun shines on the flowers, plants and trees in the yard, reflecting countless crystals through the leaves, flower buds and green grass. The dots of light flash on the calm water surface of the backyard pond, creating ripples.
"Young Master! Young Master! It's time for lunch!" The day after Xiaoyu recovered from her serious injury, she didn't bother to rest and came to Ye Feng's residence. She prepared a table of Ye Feng's favorite dishes and walked into the yard shouting.
Although Yecheng has been peaceful recently, Ye Feng has not slacked off in his practice. There is only one and a half months left before the family's final exam.
The Ye family's Wuding Tower is not a place that ordinary people can enter. It is said that the Wuding Tower has seven floors. The first three floors are guarded by mythical beasts, and the last four floors are guarded by the elders of the Ye family.
Anyone who wants to become the family heir must not only stand out among his peers in the Ye family, but also pass the test of the Wuding Tower.
Therefore, Ye Feng concentrated on his practice as always. He had just returned from practicing in the back mountain and was sitting under the sycamore tree in the yard looking at the Ye family martial arts secret book that his father gave him.
He was so absorbed in reading that he seemed to hear someone calling him. He did not think it was Xiaoyu, because he had just visited her yesterday and Xiaoyu still needed to recuperate for a while. So Ye Feng did not pay much attention to her and concentrated on reading the secret book in his hand.
"Young Master! Young Master!" When Xiaoyu appeared in front of Ye Feng, Ye Feng realized it was Xiaoyu, and then he went back to the house with Xiaoyu to eat.
"Young Master! This is your favorite stir-fried beans, and this is an omelette with tomatoes..." After Xiaoyu introduced the dishes on the table one by one, she served Ye Feng a bowl of steaming white rice.
Ye Feng looked at Xiaoyu and saw that she had regained her former appearance. A pleased smile appeared on his face. He said with satisfaction, "Good! Good! Seeing that Xiaoyu has become the Xiaoyu she used to be, I am finally relieved. Let's eat together!"
Just when Ye Feng started to pick up food and eat, a servant came outside to report.
"Master! There's a letter for you!"
"My letter!" When Ye Feng heard that there was a letter, there was surprise in his eyes.
I haven't left the Ye family for seventeen years. I have no friends or old acquaintances. How could someone write to me
With this surprised mentality, Ye Feng said: "Bring it in!"
Xiaoyu stood up, walked outside the house, took the letter and handed it to Ye Feng.
Ye Feng looked at the letter in his hand and knew who wrote it to him without even starting to read it.
How could it be her! Didn't she break off all ties with me
Why would you write a letter to yourself
Ye Feng looked astonished, because he recognized the handwriting of Murong Xiaoxue at a glance from the words "Ye Feng personally" on the envelope.
Ye Feng did not open the letter on the spot because he was feeling very anxious. He could not describe how he felt about Murong Xiaoxue, so he waited until after dinner when he was alone in the room before opening the letter.
"Brother Ye Feng, Murong Xiaoxue was deceived that day and that's why..."
Ye Feng slowly read the entire letter, with joy and surprise in his eyes.
It turned out that Murong Xiaoxue's letter mentioned her inner guilt towards Ye Feng. She shouldn't have hastily broken off all ties with Ye Feng before the matter was clear. After so many days of mental struggle, she wrote a letter to Ye Feng in order to gain Ye Feng's forgiveness.
For Ye Feng, who had never left the Ye family for seventeen years, seventeen years was not a short number. Therefore, Ye Feng was very naive about matters of love. When he learned that Murong Xiaoxue intended to save their engagement, he was very excited.
As for the other thing mentioned in Murong Xiaoxue's letter, Ye Feng was confused and didn't know how to make a decision.
In the letter, Murong Xiaoxue mentioned her father Murong Wentian, who unfortunately injured his tendons while practicing and urgently needed the Renjin-Ronging Pill for treatment, so she begged Ye Feng to find the Renjin-Ronging Pill for her to save her father.
Speaking of the Rongjin Pill, it is a rare and precious pill owned by the Luo family of Yecheng. It is priceless and it is said that there are no more than three pills in the entire Yecheng.
Even if he had never had any grudge against the Luo family, it would have been extremely difficult to obtain the Rongjin Pill. Moreover, after a series of events that had happened between him and the Luo family, it was simply impossible for him to obtain the Rongjin Pill openly.
Ye Feng stood up at this time, looking at the vast sky outside the house, and was deciding in his heart whether he should take the risk to go to the Luo family to steal the Melting Muscle Pill for Murong Xiaoxue.
The night is falling outside the Luo family residence.
With two whooshes, a masked man in black climbed over the three-meter-high wall of Luo's house and entered the Luo's house quietly.
This man in black seemed unfamiliar with the Luo family. After entering the Luo family, he moved around as if he was looking for something.
Just as the man in black quietly entered the backyard from the front yard of Luo's house, the earlobe moved slightly, and the man in black quickly hid himself.
Two footsteps came from the corridor on his right, and soon two Luo family guards appeared.
"I don't know what the master wants to tell us. He didn't send anyone to take over our duties at such an important place as the pharmacy!"
"Brother Liang, you are making a big fuss. This is Luo's mansion, surrounded by high walls. Who dares to come to Luo's mansion to steal things? Isn't that courting death?"
The two guards were talking as they walked, and they had already walked quite far away. The man in black heard what they were saying and ran towards the direction they were coming from with a whoosh.
In a blink of an eye, the man in black came to a hidden golden door. After seeing the words "Alchemy Shop" written on the door, he jumped onto the roof with a whoosh, quietly lifted the green tiles on the roof, entered the alchemy shop silently, and in a blink of an eye he returned to the roof from the alchemy shop.
With two whooshes, he climbed over the high wall and left the Luo family.
Just as the man in black climbed over the high wall and left the Luo family, Luo Zheng in the backyard of the Luo mansion also saw the man in black leaving. He said to a middle-aged man beside him: "Luo Cheng, everything that follows depends on you, the soul-chasing expert of the Luo family! Remember, you must not kill him, but make him live a life worse than death, understand!"
The middle-aged man that Luo Zheng ordered was Luo Cheng, the famous seventh-level warrior of the Luo family, the Soul Chaser.
After receiving the order, Luo Cheng took two disciples and rushed out of the Luo family.
The next morning, at the Lion's Mouth in Qingye Mountain, twenty miles outside Yecheng City.
With two whooshes, Ye Feng passed through the green grass and bushes of the mountains and forests and arrived at the lion's mouth.
This is the place where Murong Xiaoxue asked Ye Feng to give her the tendon-melting pill in the letter.
Ye Feng struggled for a long time holding the letter, but finally, because of his feelings for Murong Xiaoxue over the past year, he let go of all the doubts in his heart.
This also includes the doubts that have come to the lion's mouth at this moment.
Ye Feng wondered why Murong Xiaoxue didn't wait for him to deliver the elixir in Yecheng, but chose the place called Shizikou, twenty miles away.
However, when faced with the word "love", almost everyone is willing to give everything for the other person even if it means death, let alone just such a doubtful reason
Ye Feng is one of those people who doesn't care about anything for the sake of love. He believes that everything Murong Xiaoxue does has a reason.
Therefore, he did not hesitate to break into the Luo family at night to steal the Melting Muscle Pill, and arrived at the Shizikou as promised to wait for Murong Xiaoxue.
Two whoosh sounds!
Ye Feng heard the voice and turned around to see that it was the familiar Murong Xiaoxue.
Murong Xiaoxue was still as beautiful as ever, wearing a red dress, her fair face shining in the morning light.
"Brother Ye! You finally came. Xiaoxue thought you wouldn't come." Murong Xiaoxue looked guilty.
Ye Feng looked at her face full of guilt, and felt that his choice was not wrong. He said comfortingly: "Xiaoxue! Why wouldn't I come? Here, this is the tendon-melting pill, which can heal Uncle Murong's tendon injury!"
When Murong Xiaoxue saw the tendon-melting pill in Ye Feng's hand, her eyes lit up and she quickly took it.
Ye Feng looked at Murong Xiaoxue who had taken the tendon-melting pill and said a little embarrassedly: "Xiaoxue, I'll do as you said in your letter. After my uncle's tendon injury is healed, I will come to propose marriage in person!"
"Haha! Are you, Ye Feng, worthy of proposing marriage?"
A sinister mocking voice suddenly rang out, and Ye Feng was shocked. When he turned to look in the direction of the voice, Murong Xiaoxue had already taken a few steps back and stood next to a young man with a sinister smile on his face.
"Chen Bing! Why is it you!"
After Ye Feng exclaimed, he looked at Murong Xiaoxue who had retreated to Chen Bing's side and said in surprise: "Xiaoxue, why is this..."
When Murong Xiaoxue walked to Chen Bing's side, she seemed to be a different person. She no longer had the guilt and apology she had before. Now her face was full of arrogance and disdain. She said to Ye Feng, "Ye Feng! I didn't expect you to be so easy to deceive. It seems that I, Murong Xiaoxue, am really charming. Your third brother's tendons and veins were all broken! You didn't go to the Luo family to steal the tendon-melting pill to heal your third brother's tendons and veins. Instead, you went to the Luo family for me. I didn't expect you to be such a lovesick person! Unfortunately, I, Murong Xiaoxue, look down on those lovesick people, and even more so on those trash who are born with poisonous bodies!"
"Xiaoxue! You said that Ye Feng is a cunning guy? You turned out to be right. He actually thought that you have fallen in love with him!" Chen Bing grinned and said flattering words.
"Humph! I, Murong Xiaoxue, would really fall in love with him. I was young before and almost got deceived by him. In my eyes, people like him are fools who are worse than dogs!"
Every word Murong Xiaoxue said was like a knife stabbing Ye Feng's chest.
It turned out that everything in the letter was false. It was a lie that Murong Xiaoxue told herself in order to get the Rongjin Pill.
At this moment, all the trust that Ye Feng had in love vanished into thin air and turned into a poison that made him heartbroken.
Just as Murong Xiaoxue said just now, her third brother's tendons were injured, but he did not go to the Luo family to steal the tendon-melting pill. However, she never thought that she would break into the Luo family at night to steal the tendon-melting pill just for Murong Xiaoxue.
What's wrong with me? Am I crazy
How could I, how could I do such a thing!
Am I still myself? Am I the martial arts master who traveled from two hundred years later
How come my IQ is lower than that of a three-year-old child
Seeing Ye Feng's disheartened face, Chen Bing laughed at him a few times and said gently, "Xiaoxue! We have the elixir. We have to leave quickly. The Luo family will be here soon!"
Hearing them leaving and talking about the news that the Luo family was arriving, Ye Feng realized that what was happening before his eyes was not just a simple deception and theft of the Melting Muscle Pill. It was all a trap set by them to deal with him.
I never thought that I, a martial arts master who traveled through time and space two hundred years later and was reborn, would be defeated by a little girl.
Ye Feng finally calmed down and said loudly: "Stay away! How dare you lie to me!"
Hearing Ye Feng's loud shout, Murong Xiaoxue and Chen Bing turned around at once, looking at Ye Feng with disdain on their faces. Chen Bing rolled his eyes at Ye Feng and said, "Hey! You, Ye Feng, are still angry. How can you stop me, Chen Bing?"
As soon as Chen Bing finished speaking, he angrily said, "Don't think you are invincible just because you defeated a few pieces of trash from the Ye family. I, Chen Bing, can knock you down with just one finger!"
