Today was the worst day since Feng Feiling was reborn.
She had never thought that she, someone reborn, would fall to this point.
She had clearly seized every opportunity, step by step trampling all the geniuses she disliked beneath her feet.
Only Pei Xue and Ji Chengshan were left.
Ji Chengshan was about to die at her hands, and as for Leng Yeling, she had already planned his ending.
On the day Leng Yeling faced his heavenly tribulation, she would personally tell him the truth. That the one who had dragged him into the cave after he was cast out by his family had not been her.
This was her revenge against Leng Yeling. She wanted to shatter his spirit, let him die under the heavenly thunder, and be reduced to ashes. Only then could she avenge the destruction of her spiritual root and the torture she endured from those demonic cultivators.
Leng Yeling’s love had never belonged to her. She had always known that very clearly.
If he hadn’t opened his eyes and mistakenly believed it was her who saved him, he never would have looked at her.
She didn’t care for the love of any man. No form of love could compare to absolute power. In this life, after taking revenge and dragging all those high and mighty people down from their pedestals, she would pursue only strength.
She was going to ascend to the Immortal Realm. What was Leng Yeling to her?
But she hadn’t expected that before she could finish her revenge, she would make a mistake in the matter of Pei Xue.
That demonic cultivator had not taken the pill and died as planned. Instead, he kept evidence of her plot against Pei Xue and had even shown the images to everyone.
Faced with countless shocked and disgusted gazes, Feng Feiling recalled her past life. Back then, it had been just the same. That was how all those hateful people had looked at her.
“I dealt with Pei Xue only because of you.”
Feng Feiling couldn’t come up with a good excuse at the moment. Since Pei Xue was already dead, she decided to use her again, pouring as much dirty water on her as she could.
“That day, she shamelessly came to me and said she liked you. She asked me to give you to her. If I didn’t, she said I wasn’t her friend. She said she couldn’t cultivate and would only live about a hundred years, and begged me to grant her this wish.”
“She’s the one who provoked me first!”
Feng Feiling wore an obsessed and crazed expression, her eyes even holding a few tears. “Brother Yeling, I just couldn’t take it anymore. You’ve been by my side for so many years. I couldn’t stand it when someone else set their sights on you.”
“I told her no. Do you know what she said next?”
“She said if I wouldn’t give you to her, she’d find a way to take you herself. With her clever mind, she’d definitely make you hers.”
“Now you’re looking at me with that expression, and I…” Feng Feiling looked hurt, “Fine. I admit I killed Pei Xue.”
She looked at the Pei family. “If you want revenge, come at me. I’m not afraid of you. I’m the one who harmed Pei Xue. But she provoked me first. I, Feng Feiling, cannot stand a woman who’s always trying to steal my man. She deserved to die.”
After Feng Feiling said that, many people started to believe she had her reasons. If Pei Xue hadn’t tried to take Leng Yeling, Feng Feiling wouldn’t have retaliated.
Even the Pei family hesitated. If Pei Xue had really done something like that, it would be shameful for them.
Wen Ziqiu let out a breath of relief, though he felt some jealousy. Ling’er had done all this for Leng Yeling, and now she was being doubted. It wasn’t worth it for her.
He walked up to Feng Feiling. “Ling’er, come back with me.” He glanced at the Pei family. “Ling’er was wrong about Pei Xue, but Pei Xue brought it on herself. Since there was wrongdoing on Ling’er’s part, our Xingyue Sect will compensate the Pei family. Patriarch Pei can come to our sect to discuss the details.”
The Pei family members, though initially angry, hesitated. They didn’t agree outright, but they didn’t refuse either. In truth, they were already calculating how much compensation they could get from Xingyue Sect.
No matter how smart Pei Xue had been, she couldn’t cultivate. Now that she was dead, it made more sense to take advantage of the situation and gain something.
Tang Guo glanced at Feng Feiling. If she thought she could escape this easily, she was wrong. Many things still awaited her.
She nudged Ji Chengshan, who was still lying on the ground, with her sword. “Young Master Ji, can you still stand?”
