The Seven Princesses' Journey Across Time

Chapter 323 Youth Song 114

Xiao Yu interrupted her in a rage, staring at her with eyes blazing with fire, his voice piercing through his teeth: "That's right! You are indeed my biological mother, but may I ask, have you ever truly fulfilled even the slightest bit of your responsibilities as a mother over the years? Humph! Let's not talk about me, let's talk about your other son. After his father died, have you ever paid attention to him once?"

Yi Wenjun: "No, as your father's concubine, if I pay attention to him, it will bring disaster to him."

Xiao Yu said sarcastically: "Although you are a palace concubine, I can recognize a godfather, so why can't he? You just think that Ye Dingzhi is dead, and no one can sacrifice for your so-called freedom! As your child, I am simply the most miserable person in the world! As for me, I have been unloved by my father and mother since I was a child; and he is even more miserable, he doesn't even have a father and a mother!" At this point, Xiao Yu's mood slowly calmed down.

Yi Wenjun burst into tears, her delicate body trembling uncontrollably, as if a gentle breeze could blow her to the ground. Her sorrowful face was filled with the sorrow and helplessness of "How could you misunderstand me like this?", which made people feel pity.

However, Xiao Yu ignored her grief and offered no comfort. He coldly said, "Haven't you always longed for freedom? I've written a letter to my adoptive father, and I believe he will come soon to take you out of this cage. From now on, just pretend that you never had us two sons."

Upon hearing this, Yi Wenjun was stunned for a moment, as if struck by lightning. Then, as if waking from a dream, she quickly stepped forward, tightly grasped Xiao Yu's arm, and anxiously asked, "Do you know where Shi'er is? How is he doing now..." Her voice was filled with concern and worry.

Xiao Yu's face was gloomy. He snorted coldly and suddenly shook off her hand. He scolded her in a cold tone: "I don't know! You only remember to care about him now? Where were you earlier?" Yi Wenjun, who was ruthlessly thrown away by Xiao Yu, staggered and almost fell to the ground. The pain in her eyes became more intense and tears flowed out.

"I really had no choice! How can I express in a few words all the hardships and helplessness I experienced back then?" Yi Wenjun burst into tears and explained intermittently, trying to make Xiao Yu understand her difficulties.

But Xiao Yu was not moved at all. He interrupted her impatiently and said, "Enough! I have no interest in the old things between you. You'd better pack your bags and wait for your adoptive father to come and pick you up!" After that, he turned around resolutely and strode away without looking back, leaving Yi Wenjun standing there alone, looking at his receding back, crying bitterly.

Xiao Se received the news from Ji Xue. He looked at Ji Xue with a serious expression and said, "Luo Qingyang left the city?"

Ji Xue nodded: "Yes, Luo Qingyang left Muliang City five days ago and headed towards Tianqi."

Sikong Qianluo: "With his speed, won't he reach Tianqi very soon?"

Ye Ruoyi said thoughtfully: "Luo Qingyang is the Red King's adoptive father. Do you think it is possible that the Red King asked him to come here? Does this mean that the Red King still wants that position?"

Lei Wujie: "He won't just send the Lone Sword Immortal to attack the city, right? Hey~, Xiao Se, how strong is this Lone Sword Immortal among the Five Great Sword Immortals?"

Xiao Se: "Apart from Zhao Yuzhen, who has now entered the Divine Wandering Profound Realm, he is the strongest. However, Luo Qingyang is aloof and arrogant by nature. He will not easily obey the orders of one person. Unless it is that person, or perhaps it is Old Seven who asks him to take that person away, then he will definitely fight with all his strength. This is the most troublesome thing."

Sikong Qianluo: "Who is that person?"

Xiao Se: "Empress Xuan."

Ji Xue: "There are some rumors in the martial arts world that Luo Qingyang is deeply in love with his junior sister Yi Wenjun. Unfortunately, the flower has feelings, but the water is ruthless. Concubine Xuan remarried twice and did not choose him."

Ye Ruoyi: "The realm of the Lone Sword Immortal has reached the half-step divine wandering. We are no match for him at all, unless we ask Senior Mo and Senior Xuan Jianxian for help."

Lei Wujie, who was standing by, heard this and nodded repeatedly in response, "Yes, yes, we can also ask Sister Luyi for help! She's so capable, she will definitely help us succeed."

However, Xiao Se shook his head slightly, rejecting the proposal. "Absolutely not! Senior Mo has lent a hand many times before, solving many difficult problems for us. Furthermore, I just heard that she and Zhao Yuzhen are currently in seclusion at the Imperial Observatory, and no one is allowed to disturb them during this time. We must not trouble them at the slightest difficulty, and we must not take their help for granted. Therefore, we must not rashly disturb them before they have voluntarily broken through their seclusion."

Sikong Qianluo: "How about we write a letter to Dad?"

Xiao Se frowned and said, "The Third City Lord can't leave Xueyue City again! Especially since he just returned and has many urgent matters to attend to. Furthermore, I heard that the Second City Lord went straight back to Jianxin Tomb, and Wushuang City is also closely watching Xueyue City's every move. During the Third City Lord's absence, Wushuang City took the opportunity to severely suppress some of Xueyue City's less important industries, causing them to be on the verge of bankruptcy. Now that the two City Lords are away, if the Third City Lord rushes to Tianqi City, those forces that have always hated Xueyue City will inevitably take action."

After listening to this, Lei Wujie shook his head helplessly and sighed, "Alas, this won't work, and that won't work either. So, in the end, we have to rely on ourselves!"

Xiao Se frowned slightly and said to the person beside him, "Go ask the housekeeper to see if Old Seven has been staying at Snowfall Villa these days, or if he hasn't returned for several days?"

Ye Ruoyi was extremely intelligent and immediately guessed the intention behind Xiao Se's action. She asked softly, "So, can we know if this was done by the Red King?"

Xiao Se nodded, gazing deeply into the distance as he slowly explained, "If, as we suspect, this incident was committed by the Red King, then given his temperament and style, he would have left Snowfall Villa quickly after the deed was accomplished. However, if he remains here, perhaps this proves that he has nothing to do with the incident."

A moment later, the butler hurried over and respectfully stood before Xiao Se, bowing his head and reporting, "Sir, His Royal Highness the Red Prince left Snowfall Villa five days ago. I heard his master wanted to teach him swordsmanship, so he left in a hurry. I heard he's now at the Imperial Observatory."
