Chapter 341: Am I Really So Despicable?

Leaving the Revolving Restaurant, Jiang Feng drove the off‑road vehicle that had been parked at the restaurant entrance, carrying Su Xueyan and Tang Ruoxi toward Binjiang Matou.

The atmosphere inside the vehicle was especially oppressive; Tang Ruoxi curled up in a corner of the rear seat, hands tightly hugging her knees, occasionally sneaking a glance up with a look of shock at Jiang Feng in the driver's seat.

Tang Ruoxi's intestines are now turning green with regret.

Even marrying Song Junhao, the dandy she once found utterly disgusting, would be better than dying here.

Not long after, the off‑road vehicle arrived at Binjiang Matou.

"Get out!"

Jiang Feng stopped the car, turned his head, and coldly said to the back seat.

Tang Ruoxi was terrified, shivered all over, dared not hesitate at all, hurriedly opened the door, and stood beside the car trembling.

At that moment, a Black Awning Boat slowly approached on the river in the distance.

Soon, the Black Awning Boat docked at the pier.

Jiang Feng turned his head toward Tang Ruoxi, his tone still icy.

"Board the boat!"

"Oh… oh…"

Tang Ruoxi quickly replied, daring not to resist, and carefully stepped onto the Black Awning Boat, fearing that moving too slowly would displease Jiang Feng.

Sitting on the boat, Tang Ruoxi clung tightly to the side, hands gripping the rail, her eyes filled with terror.

Tang Ruoxi did not know where Jiang Feng intended to take her, nor what awaited her.

At the thought that she might die, Tang Ruoxi could not stop trembling all over.

Su Xueyan leaned against Jiang Feng and asked softly.

"Jiang Feng, where are we going?"

"Jiangxin Island."

Jiang Feng said lightly.

"There is a manor that was previously gifted to me by Yitian Pavilion, relatively quiet, suitable for temporarily housing some people."

Su Xueyan nodded and did not ask further.

She knew that since Jiang Feng was willing to tell her, he would certainly reveal everything at the appropriate time.

The Black Awning Boat traveled on the river for a little over half an hour and finally reached Jiangxin Island.

After the boat steadied, Jiang Feng helped Su Xueyan off the boat, then said coldly to Tang Ruoxi.

"Get down!"

Tang Ruoxi hurriedly followed, staying close behind Jiang Feng and Su Xueyan, daring not to fall behind a step.

Jiang Feng led the two toward the manor.

After pushing open the courtyard gate, Jiang Feng entered the courtyard and casually opened the door of a small room.

The room was unlit, pitch‑black, and felt especially oppressive.

"Enter."

Jiang Feng said coldly to Tang Ruoxi.

Tang Ruoxi looked at the pitch‑black room, her heart filled with fear, her eyes instantly reddened, and tears swirled in her eyes.

Yet she dared not refute Jiang Feng, biting her teeth and stepping into the room inch by inch.

The moment Tang Ruoxi stepped into the room, Jiang Feng, without a word, slammed the door shut with a bang.

Tang Ruoxi could no longer hold back in the room, slipped slowly to the floor leaning against the door panel, hugged her knees, and began sobbing softly.

Jiang Feng ignored her, brought Su Xueyan to the main hall of the main residence.

The two sat down, and Jiang Feng spoke first.

"This manor was previously gifted to me by Yitian Pavilion; few people come here normally, making it relatively hidden."

He paused, looking at Su Xueyan.

"That Tang Ruoxi's background is not simple. Bringing her back to the Su Family might only endanger you and Su Lao, so for now I'll keep her locked here."

"You… have a grudge against the Xie Family?"

Su Xueyan hesitated briefly, but could not help asking the question that troubled her. From Jiang Feng's reaction when he heard the Xie Family name in the restaurant, his enmity with the Xie Family was clearly deep.

Hearing the question, Jiang Feng's eyes flashed with a strong murderous intent, and he slowly nodded.

"Hmm, a mortal enmity."

"You should know, I apprenticed under Kunlun, and only a few months ago I just came down from the mountain." Jiang Feng's voice was low and hoarse, carrying a barely perceptible pain.

Su Xueyan's face flushed crimson instantly, and the scene of their first meeting involuntarily flashed in her mind.

She remembered clearly that when Jiang Feng had just come down from the mountain, they met at Langtou Mountain.

At that time she had been bitten by a snake, and Jiang Feng saved her.

That filthy scoundrel even used the excuse of treating her injuries to engage in such intimate acts with her.

Looking back now, she felt no regret at all, but rather was extremely grateful that she had met Jiang Feng that day.

Jiang Feng did not notice Su Xueyan's embarrassment and continued speaking.

"Actually, during the years on Kunlun Mountain, my master sealed part of my memory."

"Until recently, by chance I unlocked that sealed memory, finally learning the truth of my mother's death back then."

At this point, the murderous intent in Jiang Feng's eyes was almost overflowing.

"And the Yunding Xie Family is the chief culprit that caused my mother's death!"

Su Xueyan's heart ached as she looked at Jiang Feng upon hearing this.

She did not expect Jiang Feng to bear such a heavy Blood Sea Grudge.

"Having learned the truth, I have been searching for the whereabouts of the Xie Family to avenge my mother. But the Yunding Xie Family resides within the Yunding Secret Realm, extremely hidden; I asked people from Yitian Pavilion to help investigate for a long time, yet found no useful information at all."

"Let alone entering the Yunding Secret Realm to take revenge on the Xie Family."

Jiang Feng turned his head toward the small house not far outside the main hall, and a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes.

"Since this Tang Ruoxi is connected to the Xie Family and is Xie Zhennan's niece, I can only invite her over. I hope she has enough influence to make Xie Zhennan come to Jiangcheng in person. Then I will ask him properly why he insists on exterminating my mother!"

The reason he kidnapped Tang Ruoxi was not truly to harm her, but to use her as a Chip to force Xie Zhennan to appear.

Only when Xie Zhennan arrives can he clarify all the truths of that time and avenge his mother.

After all, his mother is also a member of the Xie Family!

What deep grudge could drive the Xie Family to the point of killing their own!

Su Xueyan, after hearing Jiang Feng's words, felt her heart filled with anguish.

She reached out, gently grasped Jiang Feng's Fist, and comforted him in a soft voice.

"Jiang Feng, I'm sorry, I didn't know you were carrying so much."

Jiang Feng turned his head, looked at Su Xueyan's gentle eyes, and the malice in his heart gradually dissipated a bit.

He looked at Su Xueyan's incredibly pure face and couldn't help but let out a Laughter.

"Xue Yan, tell me, am I rather despicable? To seek revenge, I even used an innocent little girl's life as a threat."

Although Tang Ruoxi is a cousin‑niece of the Xie Family, this matter has no direct connection to her.

She is merely a pampered little princess of the family, completely unaware of what happened back then.

Regardless, Jiang Feng using her as a Chip to threaten the Xie Family is indeed somewhat disgraceful.

Su Xueyan shook her head, her eyes full of seriousness.

"I know, even if she doesn't go with you, you wouldn't actually kill her."
