Chapter 457 - When Will the Thousand-year Grudge End? (1/2)
The woman quietly walked to Xiao Chen’s side. Xiao Chen looked at the people nearby and lowered his voice. He whispered, “Sister Su, when did you come?”
This woman was Su Xiaomei. Xiao Chen thought she was in the Frigid Jade Pendant and did not expect her to be in the crowd all this time.
Su Xiaomei whispered, “I was afraid of attracting attention, so I separated from Brother Ning when I came here.” At last, she sighed deeply, and her face was clouded with sorrow. She wanted to say something more, but she looked up at Xiao Ning, who was standing on the top of the mountain looking at Gu Feng. Finally, she sighed and said nothing.
Xiao Chen knew why she sighed and did not ask more questions. He looked up at the top of the mountain and saw that Xiao Ning and Gu Feng’s aura was getting stronger and stronger. He could not help but be more worried. He asked, “By the way, Sister Su, did Big Brother Xiao Ning tell you what happened a thousand years ago?”
On that night, he did not ask about the incident in detail, but he felt that something was wrong. According to his previous speculation, Xiao Ning and Gu Feng were likely to be tricked by others a thousand years ago. Moreover, it was not as simple as Ye Yuexuan trying to stop Xiao Ning from going to the Human World. Maybe even Ye Yuexuan had fallen into this trap and thought that she had taken advantage of Gu Feng.
Su Xiaomei sighed and frowned slightly. She said, “Brother Ning told me everything. There’s no need to mention what happened between him and Gu Feng before. We can just begin from that duel. Gu Feng made a deal with Brother Ning to have a final duel here. Brother Ning agreed as well. However, when they were in the midst of the duel where both of them were exhausted, the Immortals’ League and the other ancient sects suddenly arrived…”
Hearing this, Xiao Chen frowned. “Will the history repeat itself today?” Su Xiaomei also sighed, and her voice suddenly became a little bitter. “I persuaded Brother Ning that year, but he didn’t listen. This time I persuaded him, he still didn’t listen…” In the end, her eyes gradually became moist.
Xiao Chen stroked her back gently, trying to tell her to not be sad. There must be an end to some things between the men, but hatefully, those villains hiding in the dark were the last winner.
Su Xiaomei continued, “Several homicides were committed by Gu Feng earlier. The Immortals’ League came to capture Gu Feng. The battle between Gu Feng and Brother Ning had caused him a great loss of power. In any case, he could not beat the Immortals’ League and several ancient sect masters. With Gu Feng’s straightforward nature, he naturally believed that Brother Ning had notified several major factions to ambush here, but why would Brother Ning do such things?”
Xiao Chen nodded. If Xiao Ning did such a despicable thing, he would be calling him a big brother in vain. Su Xiaomei’s voice was a little bitter. She continued, “With Brother Ning’s temper at that time, the Immortals’ League couldn’t take Gu Feng away. So he did his best and helped Gu Feng out of trouble. However, Gu Feng’s head was seriously injured by the masters of the major sects and he became crazier. He was sure that it was Brother Ning who tricked him.”
Xiao Chen took a deep breath. “That’s who Xiao Ning is, someone who attached great importance to friendship and morals.” He asked, “What happened next?”
“Later, Brother Ning dragged the masters of the Immortals’ League and the other sects. Gu Feng succeeded in escaping but became crazy. Later, the Immortals’ League used this as a reason and said that Brother Ning colluded with Gu Feng and killed the people of the other sects.”
Xiao Chen pinched his fingers and said bitterly, “This Immortals’ League does not display any fairness and is despicable. Obviously, Ye Yuexuan wanted to frame Big Brother Xiao Ning. She knew that with his temper, he would definitely help Gu Feng escape, so she set up such a trap.”
Su Xiaomei sighed and said, “Later, Brother Ning went to the Human World to complete the task entrusted by your master. I didn’t know that the Xiao Family had kicked him out of the family because of this matter. At that time, Brother Ning was talented and skilled in Martial Arts, so many people in the Xiao Family were jealous of him. Besides, he insisted on staying with me, which aroused the opposition of the people in the family. Sigh…”
“Brother Ning took people to the Human World and found a place to establish the Xiao Family in the Human World. Unexpectedly, Gu Feng followed him to the Human World. That time, they had a fierce battle. Gu Feng had become crazy and wanted to kill all the people of the Xiao Family in the Human World. Brother Ning had no choice but to use the Blood Oath to seal Gu Feng and think about how to release him in the future. Unexpectedly, a thousand years passed.”
“Because when Brother Ning returned to the Violet Manor, he was planning to come to me and then from then on to care nothing about the world and live like a nomad in the grassland. However, he was besieged by the Immortals’ League and several major sects. In order to seal Gu Feng earlier, Brother Ning’s strength had been greatly damaged. How could he be their opponent? In the end, he was also sneak attacked by Ye Yuexuan…”
The more she talked about it, the more bitter Su Xiaomei’s voice became. Xiao Chen clenched his fists so tightly that his knuckles creaked. He remembered about that time when he fought a bloody battle against Tianyuan City. Presumably, Xiao Ning’s situation was similar to his.
These upright and hypocritical men full of benevolence and morality were really detestable. If it was not for them, Xiao Ning would not have been separated from Su Xiaomei for a thousand years. Gu Feng would not have been sealed for a thousand years and created this one-thousand-year grudge.
The more he thought about it, the angrier Xiao Chen felt. He suddenly thought of Ye Yuexuan’s sneak attack on Xiao Ning. “At that time, was their relationship like what he has with Xiaoyue now?” It seemed that he must be careful with Xiaoyue in the future.
Su Xiaomei sobbed and said, “I tried to persuade Brother Ning a few days ago. I said that Gu Feng is now sober. You go and tell him the whole story and solve the misunderstanding. But Brother Ning told me that he sealed Gu Feng for millennia, and this is what he owed Gu Feng.”
“Is that so…”
Xiao Chen clenched his fingers. In this way, it seemed that his big brother was really some with a real personality. Suddenly, he thought of something and exclaimed, “Oh no!”
“Boom!” Just as his words fell, a loud noise suddenly came from the direction of the mountain, the snow shook and flew. Everyone watching was suffocated, and even more, they were almost lifted by this force and fell into the cliffs.
