Chapter 1388 - 1364: Ximen Yao!

He pulled very slowly, and very carefully, plucking all the grass from the top of the green grave mound to the surroundings.

After tidying up for a while, this green grave no longer looked so desolate.

Ren Feng's heart was heavy as he reached out to gently stroke the plaque Han Buyan had set up, then lit the pack of cigarettes he'd brought.

The curling smoke of the burning cigarette stood in front, and Ren Feng placed the flowers he'd brought on top of the grave mound, and lastly, the food he'd just bought.

Once everything was arranged, Ren Feng looked at the mound and finally felt a faint sense of closeness.

He didn't know what to say. After staring blankly for a long time, he finally blurted out a single sentence.

"Mom, I came to see you."

After he spoke, Ren Feng simply gazed at the grave mound. Everything else was a thousand unspoken words stuck in his throat, yet he had no idea where to begin.

The cigarette burned quietly. The morning sun had already begun to move, its light growing stronger, while Ren Feng just kept looking at the grave. In his mind, Han Buyan's words echoed again.

"Your mother came to Yanjing with you in her arms to find me, entrusted you to me, hoping I could keep you safe…"

"And after that, she killed herself."

The words carried a weight of sorrow and helplessness.

Ren Feng stroked the plaque again. It was as if Xu Shiyun's face grew a bit clearer at this moment; she should have had a kindly countenance, gentle eyes, and the courage to live and die for love.

His lips curved in a faint smile. "Sorry, Mom, I came late."

He caressed the grassy mound, lifted his head to look at the sunlight, then glanced at the river and forest not far away. The environment here was good; at least she wouldn't be disturbed.

Then Ren Feng suddenly stretched out his hand. A thick branch from a nearby tree snapped with a crisp crack and flew over. In the next instant, the branch was rapidly shaved down into a wooden board.

True Qi surged out of Ren Feng's right hand, carrying his own blood, and began to write across it like a mad golden serpent dancing.

"Unworthy son, Ren Feng, setting this tablet!"

The characters were infused with True Qi and blood, force penetrating through, as if carved into the very heart of the wooden board!

He placed the board beside Han Buyan's wooden tablet, thrusting it into the ground. Ren Feng raised his head to look at the grave mound, then knelt down and solemnly knocked his forehead to the ground three times.

When he lifted his head again, his eyes were already filled with unwavering resolve and killing intent!

"Mom, I'll avenge you. Blood for blood!"

Ren Feng stood up and walked down the mountain without looking back, leaving only that solitary green grave standing quietly on the hillside.

Han Buyan had probably foreseen this. The hatred of slain parents is irreconcilable. That was why he hadn't told Ren Feng the truth at the time.

Back at the Snow Mountain Celestial Dragon Master's place, Han Buyan had already thought about telling Ren Feng this, but in the end kept silent, because he knew that once it was spoken, a storm of blood was inevitable.

After coming down from the mountain, Ren Feng calmed his emotions. The Kunlun Divine Domain was a place he absolutely had to go. If he had time in the near future, he would definitely head there.

Returning to the capital from Langya Mountain, Ren Feng's phone rang.

"Hello."

"What do you mean 'hello', it's me." Mo Yuqi's voice came from the other end. "Why did you leave yesterday?"

"You'd just recovered and need to rest a bit, so I left," Ren Feng said. Hearing Mo Yuqi's voice actually lifted his mood somewhat.

"I see. Then are you free now?"

"Yeah, at your service anytime."

"Come hang out with me. I'm at the Ziyin Cafe in Building A of Nanxinmen Aoxi Plaza."

"Alright."

After hanging up, Ren Feng immediately headed for Aoxi Plaza.

...

Meanwhile, inside the cafe, Mo Yuqi was sitting there. Her energy and spirit had recovered quite well, even better than before.

After taking the Nine-Heart Sacred Lotus Elixir, not only was her heart problem resolved, her looks had also improved again. Mo Yuqi had already been a little diva, very beautiful; with her temperament and appearance upgraded, her pull on others grew even stronger.

So even though she was just sitting in the cafe wearing an elegant ladies' hat, people kept stealing glances in her direction.

Mo Yuqi propped her fragrant chin in one hand while her right hand stirred the coffee with a spoon.

She'd been lying in a hospital bed for so long; now that she'd finally recovered, with her lively nature, how could she possibly stay cooped up?

So the first thing she wanted was to go out and have some fun, and naturally the first person she thought of was Ren Feng. During this recovery period, Ning Lan hadn't forced Mo Yuqi to immediately return to the entertainment industry. As long as Mo Yuqi didn't have any more issues, that was enough.

Mo Yuqi was turning plans over in her mind when, just then, several men walked in through the cafe entrance.

Although they were all dressed like ordinary people in modern casual wear and suits, their overall bearing didn't resemble that of modern folk at all.

The few of them were chatting.

"Yao, you're really blessed, you're about to marry Miss Long from the Long Family."

The man beside him spoke, his face full of excitement.

"Yeah, Yao, you really hit the jackpot this time. I heard that eldest Miss of the Long Family is extremely beautiful and has apparently been single for years."

"Ah, what do you know? Yao being able to marry Miss Long is a strong-strong alliance. Once the two families join, in the Martial Arts World, who would dare provoke them? They'll be strutting wherever they go."

The man they called Yao smiled faintly. His name was Ximen Yao, the eldest young master of the Ximen Family. The men around him were also from the Ximen Family, just from collateral branches.

"Chen, don't talk like that. This is something decided by the elders of both sides after discussion, it's not set in stone yet." Ximen Yao said modestly.

"Hey, Yao, that's where you're wrong. Miss Long has already returned to the Dragon Domain. After this incident, it's basically a sure thing, and it's the older generation who'll decide. Once they set something, can they go back on it?"

"Exactly, Yao, don't worry. The Long Family has always been true to its word. There's nothing to worry about."

"Yao, you're really blessed. Sister-in-law is so beautiful, we probably won't find anyone prettier than her."

Ximen Chen sighed as he spoke, but just as the words left his mouth, his gaze swept over to Mo Yuqi in the distance. In that instant, he felt as if his heart had been struck; he froze on the spot.

"What's wrong, Chen?" Ximen Yao asked, puzzled.

"Yao, look at that woman, what do you think?" Ximen Chen stared at Mo Yuqi, eyes shining. Though she wore a hat, it did nothing to keep Ximen Chen from seeing through to her true beauty.

Ximen Yao sized her up and his eyes lit as well. "Not bad, Chen, this woman's good. You've got sharp eyes."
