Chapter 682: Feiying Falls in Love with Nianyin at First Sight

Nianyin was saved, but she did not appreciate it.

She broke free from Feiying's embrace and glared at him fiercely: "Meddlesome."

Feiying:...

Clearly, he was the one who saved her life, wasn't he?

This woman.

Not only did she not thank him, but she also complained that he was meddling?

How unique.

Feiying did not get angry; instead, he laughed. He felt this woman was very interesting, and his interest in her grew even stronger.

But Nianyin did not notice. She had very important matters to attend to and no time to get entangled with a lovesick fool.

"Zhu Yiwen, are you feeling guilty and trying to kill me to silence me? Let me tell you, it won't work. The truth cannot be hidden, and a lie can never become the truth."

Nianyin was agile; she leaped onto the high platform in a few bounds, jumped into the air, and kicked the dragon throne over.

Then she announced to everyone: "This ceremony does not count. The Clan Leader was poisoned by that thief Zhu Yiwen and is unconscious. Everyone who opposed him has been harmed by him. Fellow clansmen, we must unite, capture Zhu Yiwen, and avenge the Clan Leader!"

Nianyin raised her arms and shouted.

She was a favorite of the Clan Leader and held great prestige within the clan; one call brought a hundred responses!

"Avenge the Clan Leader."

"Rescue the imprisoned Elders."

"Restore peace to the Ji Family and drive out the outsiders!"

"Capture Zhu Yiwen alive."

The cheers rose wave after wave, quickly forming an overwhelming momentum.

Zhu Yiwen, of course, would not be content with failing like this.

He wanted to order Feiying to act.

"Feiying, what are you still standing there for? Beat that woman to death."

But Feiying was looking at Nianyin now with love-struck eyes: "Beat her to death? No, I think she is very interesting; better to keep her."

Zhu Yiwen:...

It's over.

He couldn't order him around anymore.

He knew exactly what kind of trash his own subordinates were; one was worse than the other.

He couldn't rely on anyone; he could only rely on himself.

"Nianyin, don't make false accusations. The old Clan Leader's current state is all your doing..." Zhu Yiwen bit back.

Unable to order Feiying, he prepared to smear Nianyin and throw mud at her.

Zhu Yiwen whispered a few words in the Wizard's ear.

It was a threat.

The Wizard was reluctant, but she dared not disobey him.

She told the clansmen in the Square that Nianyin was a traitor.

It was not Zhu Yiwen who betrayed the Clan Leader, but Nianyin. She was discovered by the Clan Leader and feared her actions would be exposed, so she poisoned the Clan Leader, attempting to take his place.

The Wizard also said that Zhu Yiwen was the one truly loyal to the Clan Leader, and that all this time, thanks to his care and protection, the Clan Leader had been spared from Nianyin's "poisonous hands."

It was a complete distortion of the truth.

"You are lying, you will go to hell."

Nianyin glared angrily at the Wizard.

She had not expected the Wizard, who had been so loyal to the Clan Leader, to actually stand on Zhu Yiwen's side.

She was so angry her face turned crimson, and she accused the Wizard of helping a villain harm the Clan Leader.

The Wizard felt guilty and dared not even look her in the eyes.

But she still insisted on her story, because her granddaughter was in Zhu Yiwen's hands, and she did not want any harm to come to the granddaughter she cherished like a jewel.

Even with a guilty conscience, she could only continue the wrong path to the end!

Both sides argued without reaching a conclusion.

The people were all confused, not knowing who had harmed the Clan Leader.

Seeing the time was ripe, Zhu Yiwen stepped out to speak: "Everyone, be quiet. Use your simplest logic to think: if I wanted to harm the Clan Leader, I have had a thousand and one ways to make the Clan Leader pass away during this time."

"But the Clan Leader is alive and well, which proves that I am a good person and Nianyin is the traitor in the clan."

When it came to sophistry, Nianyin was no match for Zhu Yiwen.

The people were incited by Zhu Yiwen to believe his lies again, even more firmly than at the beginning.

Voices questioning Nianyin grew more numerous.

Just as she was unable to defend herself, a clear and pleasant voice suddenly came from the crowd: "Actually, it is very easy to know who the good person is. Release those locked in the Dungeon, and let everyone confront each other face-to-face, wouldn't that work?"

"Also, you keep saying the Clan Leader is fine, but has anyone seen him recently?"

The speaker was dressed in white, wearing a bamboo hat on her head, with a white veil covering it!

Her face could not be seen, but judging by her voice, she should be a beautiful woman. She was also holding a long object wrapped in white cloth.

It was impossible to tell what it was, but it probably wasn't a gun.

"That's right, no one has seen him."

"He is controlling the Clan Leader and threatening the Elders, right? Otherwise, how could the Elders have been locked up so easily?"

"You're right..."

The people drew inferences from one instance to another, and their opinions began to sway again.

Zhu Yiwen's face changed drastically: "Shi Youxuan, you have such great nerve, you actually dare to find your way here?"

Although the woman used a white veil to cover her face, this voice was too familiar; it was so familiar that there was no need to guess who it was.

"Someone, beat her to death, beat her to death immediately."

In the past, he wanted to possess Shi Youxuan, but now he only wanted to kill her.

Since this woman appeared here, Sheng Hanyu must also be nearby.

It would be perfect to wipe them both out in one go, so as to eliminate future trouble once and for all.

"Heh, you are so eager to kill me to silence me, are you afraid that I will also snatch your position as Clan Leader? Sorry, I really am here to snatch your position this time."

Shi Youxuan said: "I am Jin Wan'er, you surely don't want to see me, right?"

"Whoosh—"

The onlookers immediately broke into an uproar, and the crowd was in a ferment.

If everyone was still hesitant just a moment ago, now not a single person hesitated; they all firmly supported "Jin Wan'er."

"Jin Wan'er" had once been designated as the Successor, a matter that had been announced at a public clan assembly; everyone knew it.

The designated Clan Leader had arrived, so the "Abdication Document" was naturally invalid!

There was no dissent, and the calls of support for "Jin Wan'er" grew louder and louder.

Zhu Yiwen would not be willing to hand over his achievements to others, and as he frowned, a plan came to mind.

"You are a fake; you won't even take off your veil yet you trick us into believing you are Jin Wan'er. Do you take the Ji Family for fools?"

Shi Youxuan removed her veil.

Even if this familiar face were reduced to ashes, he would still recognize it!

Zhu Yiwen gritted his teeth: "Shi Youxuan, I didn't expect that after not seeing you for a few years, you would be this stupid. Coming to my territory, did you not think that you were delivering yourself to death?"

Shi Youxuan smiled sweetly: "I am here to send you on your way."

She was sharp-tongued, and Zhu Yiwen was simply no match for her.

He also did not intend to engage in a battle of wits.

Zhu Yiwen's face was cold and grim as he said to everyone: "This woman is named Shi Youxuan, not Jin Wan'er. She is most skilled at makeup; she can make herself look like anyone she wants."

The reason he said this was because he did not want the people of the clan to know that Shi Youxuan and Jin Wan'er looked exactly the same.

Feiying led his subordinates and closed in on Shi Youxuan step by step.

"Since you've come today, don't even think about leaving alive!"

As for changing her appearance, Zhu Yiwen had a way.

Disfiguring someone is always faster than plastic surgery.

Nianyin blocked the way in front, warning vigilantly: "What are you doing? I warn you, this is our clan's internal affair; it has nothing to do with you, do not get involved."

"Zhu Yiwen is not a good person; you won't have a good ending if you follow him."

Feiying: "Woman, are you concerned about me?"

Nianyin:...

She did not expect Feiying to actually flirt with her.

"Enough nonsense, if you want to harm our Young Lady, you'll have to step over my corpse." Nianyin was ready to die for her cause.

Feiying hesitated for a moment.

Zhu Yiwen had already grown impatient from waiting.

He felt that Nianyin was too much of an eyesore; she had escaped death once before, but one cannot escape the inevitable.

He took out a gun and aimed it at Nianyin... "Ah!"

A scream rang out.

Only, the scream came from Zhu Yiwen's mouth.

Without even looking, Feiying raised his hand and threw a Dagger—it pierced Zhu Yiwen's wrist.

Blood immediately gushed out.

"Are you crazy?" Zhu Yiwen was furious.

He did not expect that Feiying would actually turn against him for the sake of this woman.
