Chapter 54: You Are Yourself

little upon being kicked, this clearly indicated that the Empress Ming was also an accomplished martial artist. As expected, there were many hidden talents in the Heavenly Saint Capital where everyone...Chapter 54 You Are Yourself

Stringed Song seemed to be caught off guard by Cloud Qianyue's pursuit. He was momentarily stunned, then pulled the reins instantly and stopped the carriage. With joy on his face, he looked at her. As expected of Miss Qianyue, she is not an indifferent person; she has feelings for the Young Marquis. Even after recovering her memory, the events that happened between them cannot be erased.

Cloud Qianyue glanced at Stringed Song's surprised face in a fleeting glance, then looked into the carriage. The curtains were tightly closed and there was no movement or sound inside for quite some time. She could faintly sense the deepened breathing of someone who usually had light breaths today. Her lips tightened without her uttering any words.

"Miss Qianyue, the Young Marquis..." Stringed Song seeing Cloud Qianyue staring at the carriage without saying anything finally couldn't hold back and spoke up.

"Stringed Song!" Just as he was about to speak, Rong Jing interrupted him with his voice.

Halfway through his sentence, Stringed Song suddenly swallowed it. He looked at Cloud Qianyue reproachfully then hung his head down without saying anything further.

Cloud Qianyue just stared at the place where Rong Jing spoke and remained silent.

"I thought who was being so haughty! It's actually Prince Ji!" Feng Jin, with closed eyes suddenly opened them. He looked at the tightly closed curtains of the carriage then glanced at Cloud Qianyue’s tightly pursed lips: "I see that your face isn’t hot anymore! How can you rush over to stick yourself onto someone else’s cold bottom after just two months"

Cloud Qianyue's expression slightly darkened.

"Judging by this situation, even a blind person could tell. The other party is merely playing with you and now that they are done with it, naturally wouldn’t care about you anymore. What’s the point of stopping them They look down on you so much to not even want to say a word or see your face." Feng Jin said lazily to Cloud Qianyue: "I think you should take back what you called one person's weight and all people's lightness! The other party lives in a golden house filled with gold and jade, eats mountain delicacies and sea flavors as well as rare items; the clothes they wear are made of silk worth ten thousand taels. How can someone like this be compared to you who doesn't care about anything except having enough food to eat and clothes to wear to not starve"

Stringed Song suddenly lifted his head, staring fiercely at Feng Jin.

Cloud Qianyue pretended as if she didn’t hear him. With a slightly darkened face, she looked at the carriage.

"In the clouds is High Yang, filled with talent and fame all over the world. But they are only sickly people after all. What’s worth liking" Feng Jin said without regarding Stringed Song's anger and suddenly snorted coldly: "Hurry up! I'm hungry!"

"Best if you starve to death!" Cloud Qianyue suddenly turned her gaze away, glared at Feng Jin, then turned the reins of her horse. The steed moved aside for the carriage and she urged it on with her legs, galloping back towards the city.

Stringed Song saw Cloud Qianyue leave like this. His face paled as he shouted urgently to the inside: "Young Marquis!"

Rong Jing seemed not to have heard and remained silent.

The steeds passed each other with the carriage. Cloud Qianyue suddenly laughed silently, seemingly mocking and sarcastic.

Feng Jin looked at the carriage from the corner of his eye with a demonic smile then turned away and closed his eyes on Cloud Qianyue’s shoulder again. As soon as he shut his eyes, he felt an icy chill from behind him and was startled. A treasure sword instantly arrived, reaching straight to his back. His demonic smile vanished and his expression changed slightly as he knew there was no way to dodge it; thus, he stayed still on Cloud Qianyue’s shoulder without moving.

Cloud Qianyue was alarmed, causing the Crimson Beauty Silk in her sleeve to instantly fly out and barely wrap around the sword from behind at a distance of an inch away from Feng Jin's back. She turned her horse back but saw no one except closed curtains and Stringed Song with wide eyes sitting before the carriage. She frowned slightly looking at the treasure sword wrapped by Crimson Beauty Silk. The blade was very thin, like a super-thin piece of ice, with points of cold light on it, as if covered in snowflakes.

"I thought after recovering my memory, this world would have no one except Ye Tianyi to allow you to attack me. It turns out I was wrong." Rong Jing suddenly said indifferently: "Even a cat and dog are enough for you to treasure and strike at me"

Feng Jin's expression turned furious upon hearing this, about to speak up but Cloud Qianyue waved her hand, stopping Feng Jin. Although unwilling, he did not speak further but stared fixedly at Rong Jing’s carriage.

"I gave you the Crimson Beauty Silk to protect yourself, not for you to use it against me!" Upon Rong Jing's words, a force suddenly struck at the sword that was entangled with the Crimson Beauty Silk. The sword broke free from the silk without much effort and instantly flew back into the carriage. He then raised his eyebrows slightly and said indifferently: "Feng Jin The leader of Feng Pavilion, the heir of the Feng family, one of the ten hidden noble families currently being sought after by the Feng family—whether you have martial arts or not, I can still kill you."

Before Rong Jing's words had even ended, Feng Jin's sword instantly sheathed.

"Stop!" Yun Qianmo shouted and stepped forward to stop Feng Jin.

Feng Jin angrily glared at Yun Qianmo as he retracted his gaze.

"Don't forget what I warned you about!" Yun Qianmo said sternly.

Feng Jin immediately sheathed his sword. He turned his head away, no longer looking at Yun Qianmo or Rong Jing's carriage.

"Rong Jing, Feng Jin is my family member! Not like the members of the Yun Capital Manor!" Yun Qianmo addressed Rong Jing's carriage clearly.

"Oh He’s your family then What about Ye Tianyi" Rong Jing raised his eyebrows slightly in response.

Mentioning Ye Tianyi, Yun Qianmo pursed her lips without speaking. She couldn’t describe what kind of relationship she had with him—neither a family member, nor a friend, not even a close companion or lover; someone who was on the edge of all emotional ties yet detached from them at the same time. But Feng Jin was indeed her family. She was very clear about this! Ever since she pulled him out from among the dead years ago when he was barely alive with his body ravaged and his meridians severed, saving his life from the brink of death, she knew that he would be her family member for life.

"You don’t know" Rong Jing raised an eyebrow again and asked, "Then what am I to you"

"You are just who you are!" Yun Qianmo tightened the Crimson Beauty Silk in her hand.

"So you mean that now we have no connection at all Is that it" Rong Jing raised his eyebrows again, his tone slightly mocking. "Yun Qianmo, I knew this would be the case!"

Yun Qianmo's clear gaze suddenly tightened.

"Xuan Ge! Drive on!" Rong Jing ordered.

"Young Master…" Xuan Ge remained seated at the front of the carriage without moving.

"Xuan Ge, you're getting more and more disobedient! Should Qing Quan take your place in the future" Rong Jing's voice turned stern.

Xuan Ge’s expression changed immediately. He quickly cracked his whip, and the halted carriage started to move again. He didn’t understand what was going through the Young Master’s head—using all his strength to separate the Buddhist monk Pu Shan and the Taoist elder for Miss Qianmo to regain her memory. Now that she had regained it, he acted this way! If Miss Qianmo could return to look for the Young Master but he didn’t seize the moment, then there was now also "Feng Pavilion’s leader"—never seen in public before—whom Miss Qianmo would take out first upon regaining her memory. From how Miss Qianmo defended him, it seemed different from how she treated Prince Qi; if they truly broke up…

"Rong Jing! We’ve been together for ten years…do you really have to make me not be myself or you not be yourself" Yun Qianmo looked at the carriage and sent the Crimson Beauty Silk flying again, instantly wrapping around the horse’s head in front. The horses immediately stopped, unable to move forward any further. She stared at the tightly closed carriage compartment and pursed her lips tightly.

Inside the carriage, Rong Jing didn’t respond; silence reigned.

"The weight of one person is lighter than the entire world. I am not joking around!" Yun Qianmo suddenly averted her gaze, looking up at the sky. It was just dawn now, breaking through the dark night with a beam of light. But in her heart, there was no sign of dawn; it was completely dark. "But you have never believed in me!"

The atmosphere inside the carriage seemed to change slightly.

"I lost my memory and was reborn over these past two months. Without the people and events from my memories, I can't remember everyone. When Night Tianyi returned and appeared before me, he didn’t trigger any recollection in me at all, but you alone made a fragment of my memory surface. It was because that one fragment that I threw away Night Tianyi’s letter and accepted yours. That was the true intention of my heart," Yun Qianyue continued to look up at the sky as the chilly dawn breeze brushed against her thin brocade robe. Her body suddenly became colder than the wind, "But what about you You used every means possible to make me fall into a mire, but yourself watched clearly while I was sinking in it. Isn’t that right This relationship of ours was filled with schemes and machinations. But how much of your heart and feelings are left for me after all these scheming and plotting"

The carriage trembled slightly; Rong Jing’s aura changed a little.

"Let me drown in your embrace. What do you want to prove That you have an important place in my heart more than anyone else Or that you are superior to everyone, making me follow you with my life and never leave you in such a short time Joining you in madness Or maybe proving that I’ve always had feelings for you but just never admitted it" Yun Qianyue suddenly let out a cold laugh, "Rong Jing, if what I said is true, then you succeeded!"

The carriage fell silent; there was no sound.

"Are you playing with me by putting your life at risk Do you want me to do something because now you are not taking medicine and ignoring your wound Should I thank you for finding my lost memories after being seriously injured when Night Tianyi couldn’t manage it But why should I thank you" Yun Qianyue turned her gaze from the sky to the carriage, her eyes cold as she spoke each word clearly: "Tell you that I lost my memory because of you!"

Rong Jing suddenly raised the curtain and looked at Yun Qianyue.

"Night Tianyi is coming back! I did it for you to have a chance!" Yun Qianyue stared at Rong Jing. His exquisite brows and eyes were unusually clear and pale today; seeing him appear all of sudden, she showed no change in her expression, "From the moment I was born, I would remember things. How could I not know that my mother had set up a Phoenix Tribulation for me before her death How could I not know that I couldn’t forcefully break through the final barrier of the Phoenix Scripture How could I not know that I would lose my memories I am willing to use everything, including Feng Jin whom I regard as family and everyone else now, to forget about past events and get a rebirth. I have prepared for this life without remembering anything!"

Rong Jing looked at Yun Qianyue intently; his eyes suddenly stopped moving.

"But what about you You’ve only ever seen the many people in my heart, never believing that I could do something to such an extent for you! Since that’s so, if you are not yourself, then who are you" Yun Qianyue let out a cold laugh and suddenly loosened her Crimson Beauty Silk; looking at Rong Jing calmly and coldly, she said, "Rong Jing, we’re finished!"

Rong Jing’s face turned as clear as a mirror instantly; his jade-like hand gripped the carriage wall tightly, and there was no trace of color on his fingertips.

The Crimson Beauty Silk floated from Yun Qianyue’s hand and hung lightly on the horse’s head. She didn’t look back at Rong Jing anymore, turned her reins, clapped her legs against the chestnut horse, and it galloped towards the city gate. She never looked back.

Sitting behind Yun Qianyue, Feng Jin had held a strand of her hair in his hand; it suddenly slipped away.

In a blink of an eye, one rider and two people entered the city gate.

Xiang Ge stood still as he watched Yun Qianyue leave. He looked at the Crimson Beauty Silk hanging on the horse’s head. His face was deathly pale; he never expected that this would be the outcome. Miss Shanyue originally did it for Young Master... With a blank expression, he turned to look at Rong Jing.

Rong Jing’s eyes seemed to have frozen as he stared at the city gate motionlessly. The pale thin lips that had never been full of blood color were completely without any now. The chilly dawn wind blew over his exposed face and body, even making his hair still.

Xiang Ge thought that Young Master probably hadn’t expected Miss Shanyue to break through the final barrier of Phoenix Scripture’s Phoenix Tribulation and lose her memory for him, right Who could have imagined it He suddenly felt that ten years of infatuation was the best repayment he could receive. But when he looked at the Crimson Beauty Silk hanging on the horse’s head again, he felt like this kind of repayment wasn’t worth it at all. After staring at Rong Jing for a long time without moving, even not blinking an eye, and feeling as if he had been frozen in place, he couldn't help but open his mouth, "Young Master, let's return to the city! How could Miss Shanyue break off with you when she treats you like this"

Rong Jing seemed to have heard nothing; he remained motionless.

"Young Master!" Xiang Ge was anxious and jumped down from the carriage, walking over intending to shake Rong Jing awake.

Before Xiang Ge could touch Rong Jing’s hand, Rong Jing suddenly shifted his gaze, looked at him once, lowered the curtain, and spoke in a hoarse voice, "Go to the Military Secretariat!"

"Young Master!" Xiang Ge looked at the falling curtain; what was he going to the Military Secretariat for now

“I said go to the Military Secretariat!” Rong Jing’s voice suddenly became heavy.

When Xian Ge's body trembled, the hand that was about to lift the curtain dropped. He saw that no one entered or left the city gate and turned back to his carriage. Looking at the red brocade hanging on the horse’s head, he asked softly, "Young Master, this piece of red brocade..."

"Bring it in!" Rong Jing said.

Xian Ge immediately picked up the red brocade from the horse's head and lifted the curtain to hand it to Rong Jing. Rong Jing reached out and took it. Xian Ge looked at the city gate once more, sighed silently, and returned to his seat in front of the carriage, flicking the whip to drive the carriage towards the Military Affairs Headquarters.

Inside the carriage, Rong Jing sat against the wall, gently stroking the red brocade with his jade-like hand. The light inside was dim, but it highlighted his moon-white robe like snow and his pale, translucent face even more so. The sword he had just used on Feng Jin lay quietly beside him, reflecting intermittent glimmers of ice. He gazed silently at the red brocade for a long time before his low and hoarse voice whispered almost inaudibly, "How do I know..."

Before finishing his sentence, he closed his eyes, restoring silence inside the carriage.

The morning sun shone on the carriage, casting a warm hue over its entirely black body. But it could not penetrate the warmth inside nor wake the person with their eyes shut.

The carriage proceeded smoothly and entered the Military Affairs Headquarters.

Yun Qianyue rode her horse into the city and after riding for some distance, she suddenly pulled on the reins and pursed her lips as she looked at the long street ahead. It was still dark with no pedestrians on the streets. Only a small squad of patrolling soldiers hurriedly avoided her.

"So you didn't send me any information these past two months because you've lost your memory!" Feng Jin, who had stopped lying on Yun Qianyue's body, looked at the end of the long street with her.

Yun Qianyue remained silent.

"It was actually because of Rong Jing that you lost it!" Feng Jin’s tone was no longer as mischievous as before; there was no discernible emotion in his words.

Yun Qianyue still did not speak.

"I never knew that to you, the most important person over all these years is him!" Feng Jin suddenly snorted coldly and pushed Yun Qianyue. She lost her balance and fell off the horse. He looked at her angrily: "None of us can compare to him; we don’t mean enough for you to give up so easily! If that’s the case, why do you even need to regain your memory"

Yun Qianyue stood on the ground looking at Feng Jin.

Feng Jin no longer looked at her after his outburst. He suddenly kicked the horse's belly and it reared up before galloping off with its hooves flying. It sped straight down the long street, leaving no trace behind.

Yun Qianyue watched Feng Jin ride away without even glancing back at her. She stood in place motionless for a while, then she withdrew her gaze and smiled bitterly. This was what it meant to lose more than you gained!

Ever since the moment she opened her eyes in this world to see herself as an infant, saw the beautiful ancient-dressed woman holding her, saw the handsome yet slightly sickly-looking man sitting in the room with a cute little boy staring at her curiously, and noticed all the maidservants and servants in ancient clothes talking about dukes, duchesses, and young masters, she clearly knew that her soul had been reincarnated. She was now in an unknown era of ancient times, carrying memories from her previous life with her. She was no longer Li Yun; she was Yun Qianyue, the legitimate daughter of the Yun王府 (Yun Duke's residence). The handsome yet slightly sickly man was her father, the woman was her mother, and the little boy was her brother, the heir to the Yun王府.

On that day, before she could even react or express any emotions, she fell asleep due to the infant body’s inability to handle such a big shock. When she woke up again, all she saw was the woman lying beside her in the room without either of those two men present. She quietly looked at the woman and couldn't help but smile. The woman seemed to sense her smile and gently patted her head with a warm smile. Yun Qianyue thought that maybe heaven had given her a new family and kinship In her previous life, she did not have a family or kinship; this time, it gave her rebirth.

However, from then on for half a year, she never saw the man who was her father. The little boy often brought small birds, insects, and crickets to play with her while the woman's face frequently showed signs of sorrow. Yun Qianyue guessed that Duke and Duchess had a poor relationship! Common wealthy men in ancient times typically had multiple consorts; how could a duchess not desire uniqueness

When the little boy wasn’t around, the woman liked to hold her while reading quietly, and she would accompany her silently. Although she was being very careful, the woman was intelligent and soon noticed that she could read. She was surprised for a moment but then smiled gently at her: "My Moon is so smart!"

Yun Qianyue thought it wasn’t because she was smart; rather, it was due to her past-life memories! But back then, even if she had been able to speak, she wouldn't have said anything. So the woman could only believe that it was a remarkable natural talent.

The girl showed her various books and explained things to her patiently when she appeared confused. The little boy looked at them enviously, and the girl would smile smugly at him.

About half a year later, she tentatively called out "mother," making the girl hold her with joy. She was also very happy!

Half a year later, the little boy asked her to call him "brother." When she refused, he tried to bribe her with candies, but she ignored them completely. The little boy became anxious and stuffed one candy into her mouth before running off angrily. Unable to spit out the candy, she turned red from holding it in; this scared the girl so much that she forcibly removed it herself and forbade the boy from entering Jianyue Pavilion for another half a year.

Shortly after the half-year period had passed, her father finally arrived at Jianyue Pavilion. He was no longer sickly but elegant. Gently asking if her mother was well, he picked up the little girl, but she could feel nothing like familial affection. She thought that perhaps these six months had erased the first impression of family love. The girl smiled warmly and showed no sign of having been neglected over half a year. As night fell, the王爺left Jianyue Pavilion without staying.

Afterward, the prince visited often but never stayed overnight.

A few days after she turned one year old, the boy was allowed back into the pavilion and promised not to give her candies anymore or mind if she didn't call him brother. He asked the girl not to banish him again; she smiled and nodded in agreement, saying, "It's good that you've learned your lesson! You should take care of your sister." The boy solemnly nodded, but the little girl clearly called out, "Brother!" making him ecstatically spin her around. Their laughter shook Jianyue Pavilion.

After one and a half years, she would peel grapes for the girl while smiling affectionately at her; often, the little boy would open his mouth wide as well, and she'd peel one for him too. The boy's eyes sparkled with joy while eating his grape. She thought that having a mother and brother was good enough—whether or not she had a father didn't matter.

Unfortunately, this happiness did not last long; before her second birthday, the girl suddenly told her she had to go north but would return soon, instructing her to listen to her brother. Despite being puzzled, she nodded without asking questions and the girl left for the North.

The boy moved into Jianyue Pavilion after that, taking on a big-brother role by reading books to her daily as the girl had done before. He was only five at the time—his vocabulary wasn't as extensive as hers so he'd stutter through pages while she fell asleep.

The girl did not return quickly as promised but came back half a year later, poisoned by an incurable poison called "Purple Grass." Seeing her pale and sick in bed made tears well up in the little girl’s eyes. But the girl was pain-free, only sad to say, “Mother wanted to spend more time with you, but it's not possible now. But don't worry—there's still your brother.”

She wanted to ask if her brother could replace her mother but held back from doing so; she couldn’t save the girl’s life.

The girl instructed her to activate the Phoenix Trial when faced with unsolvable problems or unsure of a path forward, saying, “If you encounter major issues or are uncertain about your direction in life, activate the Phoenix Trial. It… can help…”

After bestowing the trial upon her, the girl closed her eyes and never opened them again.

The Cloud Prince set up a memorial for the girl; his father even shed tears during this time that she didn't know the meaning of.

She only learned about the purpose of the Phoenix Trial at age three when her grandfather gave her the true scriptures of the phoenix, revealing it could seal memories. At that moment, she decided to remain clear-minded and rational, just like treating Xiao Qi; sending him out on missions clearly, watching his plane explode over Vienna in cold blood. She would never need the Phoenix Trial—it was unnecessary. What unsolvable problems did she have There were countless paths in this world but she knew exactly which one she wanted.

She was wrong!

Aunt Empress had invited her to court multiple times before, and every time her mother refused. Only her brother would enter the palace regularly. After her mother’s death, Aunt Empress brought her into court on her third birthday; there she saw the man who looked like Xiao Qi—Yitian Niteian… later finding out he wasn't a reincarnation of Xiao Qi made her disappointed but consoled herself with being fortunate to have someone looking so much like him. After all, Xiao Qi had long since ceased to exist even as ashes. Disappointed turned into acceptance; she then invested half her feelings for Xiao Qi on Yitian Niteian.

Yitian Niteian was very obliging and did everything according to her wishes; among the princes, he stood out the most in her eyes.

This went by until age five when Emperor Old celebrated his forty-fifth birthday. Rong Jing entered court then, and all she thought at first was how handsome this little prince of the Rong Mansion was—she stared at him intently. But the man didn't glance back, sitting properly and respectfully next to Prince Rong and his wife; after a while, she found him boring and started playing with her fingers.

Old Emperor seated her alongside Qin Yuning, jokingly saying, "These two young ladies are very composed; both have the bearing of future empresses. If one didn't know them better, they might think these were sisters!"

Her heart skipped a beat then—remembering that she was supposed to enter court per family tradition! Looking at Aunt Empress whose face had stiffened, she said with a smile, "The Emperor jests! Moonie is naughty and cannot compare to Miss Qin's propriety!

The old emperor laughed heartily.

Seeing the old emperor's laugh, she suddenly felt a chill in her heart. Was she going to marry into the royal family She was not like her aunts and great-aunts! An unintentional sarcastic expression appeared on her face, but she quickly realized that such an expression did not suit a five-year-old child. She immediately put up her guard, hiding any inappropriate expressions. But just as she lowered her head to avoid his gaze, she felt a pair of eyes staring at the top of her head. She raised her head and saw Rong Jing looking at her with a mocking gaze. When he noticed that she was squinting at him, he seemed taken aback for a moment and quickly looked away.

She recalled something her mother had told her when reading to her from the History of Heavenly Saint at half a year old. It was about Prince Rong and Empress Zhenjing. Later on, all women in the Yun王府 would fall in love with the Crown Prince of the Rong王府. Her mother had stroked her head and said: "My Yueyue deserves to be loved by the best man in this world. The young crown prince of the Rong王府… is actually not bad!"

She had heard it back then but didn't think much about it. Now, however, she suddenly remembered it again. She thought that if her destiny would come true, she might fall in love with the little boy across from her who was putting on an act. But how likely could this be She smiled and ignored him.

Midway through the banquet, the old emperor suddenly announced he wished to take advantage of this opportunity to give Prince Taizi, the Fourth Prince, and the Seventh Prince their own residences. One would be near Yun王府, one by the Prime Minister's Mansion, and another beside Duke De's Manor. She suddenly sensed a taste of conspiracy. Indeed, she clearly saw that the old emperor’s Grand Guardian Lu Gonggong had tampered with the slips for the three princes when they were drawing lots. Ye Tianqiong was to reside next to Yun王府, while Ye Tianyu would stay beside Duke De's Manor and Ye Tianshi by the Prime Minister’s Mansion. At that moment, she suddenly saw the future successors of Heavenly Saint江山and future empresses.

Ye Tianqiong and herself were the old emperor’s abandoned children! Ye Tianshi and Qin Yuning were chosen by the old emperor!

Although the old emperor didn't show any signs, she felt it. To test her intuition, she secretly switched Ye Tianqiong's lot with Ye Tianshi's when the old emperor wasn’t paying attention, causing Ye Tianqiong to move next to the Prime Minister’s Mansion while Ye Tianshi was to reside by Yun王府. As expected, as soon as they opened their lots, the old emperor's expression changed. She thought she had guessed correctly!

She was closest to where they drew lots and feared that the old emperor would get suspicious, so she jumped off her chair and grabbed Ye Tianqiong to exchange with Ye Tianshi. Ye Tianqiong seemed stunned, while she started crying and causing a scene. She finally provoked his resentment, and the old emperor assumed Lu Gonggong had made a mistake, resolving any doubts he might have had. He then said to Ye Tianqiong with a smile: "Since you want it that way, exchange residences with Tianshi!"

Ye Tianqiong, however, broke the old emperor’s order for the first time and firmly refused to switch places. He argued there were rules governing this lottery system; otherwise, how could they have any rules if one person's wishes could change everything She clearly saw the old emperor's face turn pale at that moment. Though she was crying and causing a scene, her heart laughed inwardly. But then, she noticed Rong Jing looking at her mockingly again.

Eventually, the old emperor had to distribute their residences based on what she had switched. Ye Tianshi received a place next to Yun王府.

Before the banquet was over, when she saw Rong Jing leave the hall, she found an excuse and followed him out. She trailed him all the way to his Mandarin Duck Pond where he turned around and mocked her: "You didn’t want to marry Ye Tianqiong; did you intend to marry Ye Tianshi"

She suddenly became furious, finding this child obnoxious. With a push, she sent him into the Mandarin Duck Pond. He probably hadn't expected her to do that because he didn't seem to take any protective action when she pushed him in. She heard the sound of his fall and felt satisfied inside. Sitting by the pond, she watched him emerge like a wet chicken.

Unexpectedly, this scene was witnessed by Ye Qingran who followed them out later. He ran beside her and pointed at the Mandarin Duck Pond telling her: "This weak beauty doesn’t know how to swim; do you know"

The moment he finished speaking, she jumped into the water. As expected, that person had sunk to the bottom. After struggling mightily to pull him out onto the shore, his breath was gone. She clenched her teeth and gave him mouth-to-mouth resuscitation...

Perhaps from this moment on, it was註定she would someday initiate the Phoenix劫!

Cloud Qianyue stopped reminiscing and suddenly smiled, feeling indescribable emotions. Such distant memories were still so clear in her mind, even Rong Jing’s mocking expression at that time.

"What are you laughing about" A familiar smooth voice sounded from behind her.

Cloud Qianyue was startled and quickly turned around to see Rong Jing standing behind her.
