Bei Juns gaze landed on the teacup before his expression changed a little before looking at Mu Ru Yue. However, he still drank all of the content in the teacup in one shot.

Mu Ru Yue raised her gaze slightly as she said coldly, Bei Jun, tell me the locations of the ancient divine instrument and Xiao Yue!

Do you really want to know? Bei Jun smirked with slight mockery as he continued, Senior Yue, is he that important to you for you to do whatever you can to find him?

Yes! Mu Ru Yues voice was resolute as she continued, I will always be by his side. My heart will only be with Ye Wu Chen even if we are in different worlds now.

Bei Jun closed his eyes slightly. A trace of cold ray of light flashed past his eyes when he opened it as he replied, I wont tell you that.

Since thats the case, I just have to continue searching for a way.

Mu Ru Yue smiles lightly as she stood up from the chair and said, I had placed poison in the tea that you had drunk. You wont be able to move a muscle for the next three hours. Hence, I will make use of those three hours to find them.

She no longer dallied and walked out of the room after giving a last glance at the mans extraordinary handsome face

Bei Jin chuckled as he watched her departing figure and muttered, Actually, I already knew that theres poison in that cup of tea but I was gambling. I was gambling on whether you really want to harm me or not. But it seems Ive lost the bet

He closed his eyes gently, covering the sorrow that was in his dark golden eyes.

I still drank it regardlessly even if I knew that there was poison in the tea, gambling on whether she would really hurt me

Yet, I lost terribly!

Bei Jins complexion was gravely pale, stumbling two steps backward. Following that, he felt a sweet taste at his throat.

Pfft!

He spat out a mouthful of blood, staining the ground before him as beautiful as roses

Stepfather!

Xiao Jing hastily dashed out from within the room, running to Bei Juns side, tears welling out from her eyes.

Stepfather, she treated you so terribly. Yet, why do you

Scram!

A tyrannical aura exploded forth from Bei Juns body, forcing Xiao Jing to back a couple of steps. He once again coughed twice, profusely coughing out blood.

Xiao Jings heart ached badly.

How much love does Stepfather has for that woman to spit out blood due to her actions?

His wound is really deep this time

Stepfather, do you do you want me to stop her from leaving? Xiao Jing bit her gravely pale lips as she looked timidly at Bei Juns handsome face.

The man finally looked toward her.

Flames glimmered in his dark golden eyes from his gaze but it made Xiao Jings heart tightened as if she was being suffocated

You better be prepared to marry Feng Jing Tian!

Stepfather!!

Xiao Jings voice was trembling. There was nothing more torturous than when your most beloved man handed you over to another man

Does Stepfather really dislike me that much that he is willing to sacrifice me as his stepdaughter for his goal? It cant be that I am that negligible to him, right?

Xiao Jing, Bei Juns gaze was cold and emotionless, carrying a bone-piercing cold as he said, I dislike anyone going against my order! Dont forget that I am the one that had given you your current life. I can give you power, allowing you to possess great might. I, however, can similarly take back all those privileges as I please! You are just a chess piece to me so it is best that you are clear about your status, not overstepping your boundaries!
