'Tang Yin's rebellion has ruined my whole plan. We had no choice but to let Nan Xian take Gu Yiyi as his wife.'

"As for Tang Yin…" Mu Ling stared coldly into s.p.a.ce. "I've got a way to let her progress in the shortest time. It's a pity that she has made the wrong choice and she even lost the Mu family's protection. That girl… won't live for long."

'That's her own decision and she needs to pay for that!'

***

Feng Ruqing was on her way back to the princess's manor after she left Paramount.

She saw a person who could not possibly be in the princess's manor when she was home. She had never even thought of it.

Feng Ruqing's eyes were filled with shock. After a short while, she calmed herself down. She asked, "Tang Yi, did you lose your way? Tang Zi is currently in the palace. Xiao Yin lives in General Manor now."

'Why did Tang Yi come to the princess's manor?'

Tang Yi had a bitter smile when he faced Feng Ruqing.

'In the end, this girl still showed mercy to the Tang family.'

Both Tang Yu and Tang Luo deserved to die. But, Feng Ruqing gave him the chance to rebuild the Tang family.

She did not even kill Tang Si and Tang Wu. Their lives were spared and they were simply banished to the savage world.

"Princess, I came here because I wanted to meet with you."

Tang Yi seemed helpless. "Moreover, don't mention to Xiao Yin that I've been here."

'You came for me?'

Feng Ruqing frowned slightly.

She did not have a bad impression of Tang Yi. Tang Yi stood by both her and Xiao Yin's side when Feng Ruqing went to the Tang family for her father.

She was grateful toward Tang Yi.

She just did not understand the reason why Tang Yi had come to meet her without Xiao Yin's knowledge.

"You can speak frankly with me," Feng Ruqing told him as she relaxed a little.

Tang Yi fixed his gaze on Feng Ruqing. "What about your relations.h.i.+p with Xiao Yin?"

Feng Ruqing's guard was suddenly up. "I like men."

Tang Yi grew noticeably uncomfortable. "I don't mean that. I just want to ask… whether you'll leave Xiao Yin behind if you face any danger? Will you choose to leave her behind just like those people from the Tang family before?"

Feng Ruqing raised her eyes and glanced at Tang Yi. "Xiao Yin has made her choice and it's very clear where I stand. Don't mention anything about future events. Even if… she's really in danger… I'll protect her definitely!"

"Even if… the rest of the world stands against you? I came today because of the things related to Xiao Yin. Xiao Yin herself doesn't have a clue about these things. But, I need to tell you. You have the right to know. I don't want you to be burdened by these things. If not, Xiao Yin will surely hate me for the rest of her life."

'Having the world against me?'

Feng Ruqing laughed out loud.

Now, the three powerful forces of the mainland in the reclusive world were her enemies. 'It's no different from the world being against her.

"Firstly, I'm not scared of anything. If I were a coward, I would not create trouble wherever I go. Secondly…" Feng Ruqing walked toward Tang Yi slowly. "The Tang family is quite special to Xiao Yin. She has left the Tang family and everyone else behind for my sake. How could I ever leave her behind?"

'She chose me over her family and relatives!

'How could I let her think that she's made a bad choice?

'I'll never leave her behind even if I'm going against the rest of the world or even heaven up above!'
