Half a day later, Wei Wushuang stood up and bid farewell while Yang Kai sent him off with a smile.
After this person left, Yang Kai frowned.
Wei Wushuang had thick eyebrows and big eyes, and his bearing was extraordinary. After all, he was the Young Pavilion Master of a Second Class Force and had received excellent training since he was young, so it was not strange for him to have such an appearance.
He had come here this time to thank Yang Kai for saving Shangguan Yu’s life. Shangguan Yu was his fiancee and had been abducted by Mo Ning for two years. The two great forces of Raising Heaven Pavilion and Flying Flower Boat had pursued him for such a long time in order to rescue Shangguan Yu, but unfortunately, that Black Feather Old Ancestor was as cunning as a fox and possessed extraordinary strength, allowing him to escape time and time again.
If he hadn’t wanted to attack the Demon Territory and ended up being drawn into Yang Kai’s trap, he really might have been able to escape.
Saving Shangguan Yu was as easy as lifting a finger, but whether it was to Raising Heaven Pavilion or Flying Flower Boat, it was a great favor. Now that Shangguan Yu had returned safely, Wei Wushuang naturally had to thank him.
His words were sincere, his expression sincere, and his words were heartfelt.
However, Yang Kai always had a strange feeling, especially when Wei Wushuang looked at him, occasionally revealing a trace of helplessness and hatred. Even though Wei Wushuang had hidden his emotions well, Yang Kai had experienced many hardships and had seen many things in the world, so naturally, a flower growing up in a greenhouse like him couldn’t compare.
What was this guy so helpless about? Why did he hate him so much? After all, this was the first time they had met, not to mention the fact that he had saved Shangguan Yu’s life, even if he had nothing to do with it, he wouldn’t act like this.
Yang Kai was confused!
Although he didn’t quite understand, Yang Kai couldn’t be bothered with him. If this Wei Wushuang dare to provoke him, Yang Kai wouldn’t mind teaching him a lesson.
On another day, Yang Kai suddenly noticed some movement outside and released his Divine Sense to sense that the Raising Heaven Pavilion artifact was speeding in another direction, quickly disappearing.
It seemed that Raising Heaven Pavilion was going to part ways with Flying Flower Ship, so it wasn’t surprising. The two forces weren’t in the same Great Domain, so the way back was naturally different.
Shaking his head, Yang Kai withdrew his thoughts and continued to comprehend his Five Elements.
On one of the lotus flower’s petals, Shangguan Yu’s face was ashen as she stared at the palace that was rapidly disappearing from her sight. Her pair of beautiful eyes had lost all of their former brilliance, giving off an extremely sorrowful feeling.
Shangguan Long stood behind her and gently patted her daughter’s shoulder, “Yu’er, do you understand now?”
Shangguan Yu closed her eyes as tears silently rolled down her cheeks. Thinking back to the cold rejection Wei Wushuang had shown her these past two days, how could she not know that what her mother had said before was true?
Since she had been abducted by Mo Ning two years ago, the situation had become irreversible. Even if she was truly innocent and had a clear conscience, who would believe her?
In the eyes of everyone in Raising Heaven Pavilion, she had already become a withered flower, not worthy of being their Young Pavilion Master’s wife! This point had been confirmed by Wei Wushuang’s attitude towards her these past few days.
Behind her, Tong Yuquan also sighed deeply, but his face was filled with helplessness.
Shangguan Long said, “Yu’er, that Wei Wushuang isn’t worth entrusting to, there’s no need to be sad about him. There’s still a long way to go, so you must think about yourself.”
Shangguan Yu’s eyes went blank, as if she hadn’t heard anything.
Seeing this, Tong Yuquan’s heart ached and he quickly stepped forward to comfort her, but Shangguan Yu only cried silently.
The Lotus Flower Artifact continued to fly through the void, crossing one great domain after another.
Half a month later, Shangguan Yu came to visit, saying she wanted to personally thank Yang Kai for saving her life.
Yang Kai invited her inside, only to discover that she had also brought some food and wine over. He couldn’t help laughing, but when he looked up, he saw Shangguan Yu’s haggard appearance and listless eyes. He couldn’t help asking in surprise, “Did Junior Sister Yu encounter something recently?”
Although she had sealed herself for two years and suffered great losses, she had gradually recovered after being unsealed.
But now that they had met again, Yang Kai found that she had lost a great deal of weight, and her appearance was also extremely haggard, obviously having suffered some kind of great blow.
Yang Kai didn’t quite understand what was going on, but after thinking about it for a moment, he remembered how the people from Raising Heaven Pavilion had rushed over and left.
This was an emotional issue.
Shangguan Yu’s eyes flickered for a moment before she forced a smile and said, “It’s nothing, I just escaped not long ago and my vitality was injured. I should have come to thank you earlier, but my body was too weak, so I delayed for a few days. Please forgive me, Senior Brother Yang.”
Yang Kai smiled, “It’s not a big deal, Junior Sister Yu is too polite.”
Shangguan Yu said softly, “To Senior Brother, it may be a simple matter, but to me, it is a life-saving favor. Yu’er doesn’t have anything on her, so I don’t know how to thank you. Mother taught me to personally cook some food, but I don’t know if it’s to Senior Brother’s liking.”
Yang Kai said, “The fragrance is overwhelming, and the design is exquisite. It’s obvious it was carefully made, so it must be quite appetizing.”
The corner of Shangguan Yu’s mouth twitched slightly as a faint smile appeared on her face. Putting down the dishes, she took out a jug of wine and sat down.
Inside the room, the two of them sat across from each other, sipping wine and eating. With a beautiful woman, it's easy to relax, but Shangguan Yu’s injuries had yet to heal, so even if she wanted to thank him, she couldn’t force a smile.
Yang Kai also felt awkward.
Fortunately, after drinking a few glasses of wine, the conversation between the two became more harmonious.
However, as she spoke, Shangguan Yu suddenly thought of something and burst into tears.
Yang Kai’s head hurt, so he could only comfort her.
This crying was never-ending, and Shangguan Yu also drank one cup after another to drown her sorrows. Yang Kai didn’t make a sound and just drank with her, hoping that she would get drunk soon and then let Lu Xue send her back.
After downing half a jug of wine, Yang Kai’s expression suddenly changed as he felt an irrepressible disturbance in his body. His blood surged violently and the aura he breathed out became extremely hot.
There was something wrong with this wine!
Yang Kai was shocked.
He wasn’t someone who had just entered the world, so he naturally wouldn’t let his guard down against the food and drink sent to him by outsiders. However, he had clearly investigated these dishes carefully before and hadn’t discovered anything strange. In fact, he had even drunk a few cups of wine without any reaction, so why had it suddenly burst out?
This inexplicable power surged through his body and assaulted his thoughts, causing his perception to expand infinitely. The scent of this young girl in his nose gave him an irresistible temptation, causing him to have the urge to crush this weeping beauty to the ground.
Gritting his teeth, Yang Kai grabbed Shangguan Yu’s arm and shouted, “Shangguan Yu!”
He had thought that Shangguan Yu had drugged this wine, but when he looked up, he saw that Shangguan Yu’s face was flushed red and tears were flowing from her eyes, but she was still smiling as her wrist burned.
She had also fallen for it!
Before Yang Kai could react to what had happened, Shangguan Yu had already pounced on him and pushed him to the ground, sitting on top of him and staring at him with a dazed look.
Yang Kai was a bit stunned. The desire in his body was already boiling, and now that he was being ridden by this woman, feeling her hot skin and listening to her rapid breathing, he almost lost his concentration.
However, before he could do anything, the door was suddenly kicked open and Guo Ziyan and Lu Xue, who had been guarding outside, rushed in.
“Sir!” Guo Ziyan shouted.
“What happened?” Lu Xue asked.
The two of them had been standing guard outside the house all this time, so when they heard what was happening inside, they immediately rushed in to investigate.
However, what they saw was Shangguan Yu riding on Yang Kai, her face flushed red, her hands tearing at Yang Kai’s clothes, causing his chest to become ragged.
“This…” Both of them were dumbfounded.
But soon, Guo Ziyan showed a look of understanding, Lu Xue spat lightly and turned her head away, blushing.
Thud thud thud thud…
A series of hurried footsteps came from the corridor as two powerful auras rapidly approached.
“Not good!” Guo Ziyan’s expression changed as he exchanged a glance with Lu Xue. The two of them quickly stepped back and closed the door.
However, in the next moment, a violent energy fluctuation burst out from the corridor as the World Force surged.
Accompanied by a loud bang, the door was opened again and Tong Yuquan rushed in, his eyes bloodshot as he saw Yang Kai lying on the ground, his clothes in disarray, and Shangguan Yu laughing happily.
As their eyes met, a trace of embarrassment flashed across Yang Kai’s eyes as he forcefully suppressed the surging desire in his body.
Tong Yuquan roared, “Shangguan Long, what have you done!”
When he heard that his daughter had brought food and wine into Yang Kai’s room, he immediately felt that something was wrong and wanted to stop her, but he was stopped by Shangguan Long. His strength was inferior to Shangguan Long’s, so how could he escape? Just as he was entangled with her, he heard some movement and the couple immediately rushed over to investigate.
When he saw this scene, Tong Yuquan’s eyes bulged.
Yang Kai looked behind him and saw Lu Xue and Shangguan Long confronting each other while Guo Ziyan fell to the side with a pale face. His heart was suddenly filled with a myriad of thoughts as he suddenly understood.
The drug in the wine shouldn’t have been Shangguan Yu’s doing, there was no reason for her to have drugged herself. Coupled with Tong Yuquan’s angry roar, the person who had drugged him is obvious.
Shangguan Long!
But why did she want to harm her own daughter like this? What good would that do her?
Yang Kai couldn’t understand, but no matter what, Shangguan Long definitely had some kind of plan.
Yang Kai raised his hand and slashed at the back of Shangguan Yu’s neck. Shangguan Yu fell to the ground without making a sound. Yang Kai held her and rolled on the ground before quickly getting up and leaning against the wall, staring at Tong Yuquan indifferently, “Protector Tong, this is a misunderstanding!”
Tong Yuquan’s heart ached as he stared at his daughter and then glared fiercely at Yang Kai. Although he knew that all of this was not Yang Kai’s fault, his eyes were still filled with fire as he gnashed his teeth, as if he couldn’t wait to tear Yang Kai’s skin off.
