The young man carrying the coffin was Jiang Feng. He walked to the bottom of the cliff and raised his head to look at the girl in the blue dress.
The moment Mu Rongxue saw Jiang Feng, her delicate body couldn't help but tremble slightly. She couldn't help but take a step back.
She had never thought that she would meet Jiang Feng here.
But soon, Mu Rongxue regained her composure.
"I have no choice."
Taking a deep breath, Mu Rongxue said, "I know that you are very talented in some aspects, but so what? You can't sense the Spiritual Qi. After all, you are just a mortal. The gap between us will be bigger and bigger."
Jiang Feng understood. His lips curved into a cold smile, as if mocking himself.
It was laughable. He had previously wanted to use his comprehension and talent to guide her on her path to the higher levels. He silently accompanied her, watching as she blossomed with radiance.
It was laughable. He had once guarded outside the Mu Estate and cared about her thoughts.
It was ridiculous. He once imagined that she was forced to do something and was willing to take her to the end of the world.
...
All of this was so ridiculous.
She probably had never cared about him. Perhaps she had only called him Brother Jiang Feng because she wanted him to guide her in martial arts techniques.
"You can't keep up with my footsteps. We are destined to be people of different worlds, and there will be no intersection."
Mu Rongxue said, "Che Shaoyang became a martial arts practitioner at the age of twelve and entered the Violet Manor at the age of fifteen. He successfully entered the Qingyu Sect to cultivate. He's not even 20 yet. He's at the fifth level of the Violet Manor. Even in the Qingyu Sect, he's an influential figure. He's the pride of the empire. You can't compare to him."
Jiang Feng turned around. Since he didn't have the intention to, it wasn't worth keeping him here since they were strangers.
The crowd whispered to each other, and many people showed a look of interest. From Mu Rongxue's words, there seemed to be something between her and this young man.
A strange light flashed through Mu Rongxue's eyes when she saw Jiang Feng's cold attitude. She said, "Jiang Feng, the royal city doesn't belong to you. Go live an ordinary life."
Jiang Feng turned his head, only giving an indifferent smile and didn't respond.
This scene made Mu Rongxue frown slightly and she was very unhappy. She pretended to be serious and said, "Jiang Feng, I know that you are angry and unwilling, but so what? There is an insurmountable gap between us. You can't keep up with my pace, so why are you looking for trouble? Imperial City doesn't belong to you. A plain life is what you can pursue. Don't be so whimsical."
"You, you think too highly of yourself." Jiang Feng replied coldly. He felt sad for himself. Mu Rongxue was less than sixteen years old, yet she was so proud and scheming. She had used him to cultivate martial arts techniques to sense spirit energy, yet he treated her with such sincerity.
He turned around and no longer looked at Mu Rongxue. His cold eyes swept over the man in green and fell on Mu Yuanshan beside him. "Mu Yuanshan, does the death of my grandfather have anything to do with you?"
Mu Yuanshan's eyes flashed and he did not answer. He just said, "Jiang Feng, I know that you have been with Rong Xue for five years and have some friendship with her. But there is no agreement between you two. Why do you pester her so hard?"
Without waiting for Jiang Feng to speak, Mu Yuanshan continued, "My daughter is kind and knows that you can't sense the Spiritual Qi, so I took you to practice martial arts with me and carefully guided you for three years. I hope that you can use the martial arts to sense the Spiritual Qi. Unfortunately, you are stupid and have done nothing."
"But not only are you stupid, but you are also ugly. Taking advantage of the opportunity to cultivate, you pestered Rong Xue and even wanted to do something shameless. Fortunately, your strength is not good enough and you failed. Our Mu Mansion doesn't care about you, so you should take care of yourself."
"Give me advice carefully? Do I do what I want to do?" Jiang Feng was stunned. Looking at Mu Yuanshan's righteous manner, he felt a chill run down his spine.
This Mu Yuanshan was so shameless, so despicable and extremely shameless. Jiang Feng could finally see his ugly face.
However, Mu Yuanshan's means were really powerful.
First of all, he said that there was no agreement between Mu Rongxue and Jiang Feng. He meant that there was no marriage agreement, which made people think that Jiang Feng was entangled in all this.
Then, what was more, Mu Rongxue helped him to cultivate was that he was dull and couldn't sense the Spiritual Qi. With his useless reputation, he set off Mu Rongxue's strong talent and kindness, which made her look like a goddess.
In the end, Jiang Feng's personality was despicable and he wanted to tarnish his goddess. Using morality as his final blow, he'd shaped Jiang Feng into a shameless, ungrateful, useless, and despicable villain.
Sure enough, when the crowd heard Mu Yuanshan's frank words, many people instantly looked at him with disdain, and all kinds of humiliations and curses came.
"You're such a despicable and shameless good-for-nothing. Miss Mu, you ignored the past and guided your cultivation. It's not a big deal that you're a good-for-nothing, but you don't know how to express your gratitude and still want to do some beast things. How can there be such a despicable person like you in the world?"
"Miss Mu and the Mu family, it's an adult's fault. He doesn't want to argue with you, but you're still messing around. People like you shouldn't live in this world."
...
Perhaps it was because Mu Rongxue was extremely beautiful, or perhaps it was because of the Left Military Marshal's residence, most people were already willing to stand on Mu Rongxue's side. In addition to what Mu Yuanshan had said earlier, they were even more convinced that Jiang Feng was a despicable and shameless good-for-nothing.
How could he match her?
The corners of the green clothed man's mouth curled up as he revealed a mocking smile. At the same time, he glanced at Mu Yuanshan. This old fellow was rather useful. His words not only raised Mu Rongxue's image, but had also thoroughly humiliated Jiang Feng.
This humiliation was even crueler than directly killing Jiang Feng.
"It's so interesting."
"Shameless." Jiang Feng's expression became even colder. Mu Yuanshan had reversed black and white. He was absolutely shameless.
"The Mu family thought that with a yin constitution, Mu Rongxue would be able to soar through the ranks. It's also laughable and pathetic. However, with their shameless character, they deserve it." The devil's voice sounded in Jiang Feng's mind.
"What do you mean?" Jiang Feng responded with a frown.
"A body with a yin constitution can indeed allow one to cultivate rapidly, but in the end, it's nothing more than a wedding dress," explained the Skyfiend. "That's because once the yin is broken, her lifetime cultivation will be able to help others."
Jiang Feng's brows furrowed even deeper. "Does this mean that the Left Army's Marshal's marriage with the Mu Estate is for the Lunar Body?"
"Is it because of love?" Skyfiend chuckled.
"No." Jiang Feng shook his head.
"Even if this little girl escaped this disaster, she will meet more powerful people in the future. It can be said that the yin constitution has determined her miserable fate." The words of the devil were cruel and realistic.
"You've known this for a long time, haven't you?" Jiang Feng asked.
"Don't tell me you still care?" the Skyfiend asked in reply.
"Do you still care?"
Jiang Feng started, then shook his head with a smile, his brow relaxed.
"Jiang Feng, I'm heartbroken by your personality, but considering the feelings of the past, I still won't argue with you about what happened today. This is because Uncle Mu is also responsible for this. It's me who's too benevolent. Every time I consider your feelings, there are some things that I can't bring myself to say."
Mu Yuanshan's voice continued to sound, hypocritical and disgusting.
"The rest may be a little heavy, but it's also for your own good."
Mu Yuanshan put his hands behind his back and looked frank. He said seriously, "It's understandable that you love Rong Xue, but love is the matter of two people. No one can force you. What's more... you are a shameless good-for-nothing. Do you deserve the pride of Rong Xue?"
Was he worthy of Rong Xue's pride?
This sentence was like a clap of thunder that resounded through the entire space. Many people looked mockingly at Jiang Feng. How could a despicable and shameless trash match up to a kind goddess?
"The Mu family is just too merciful. If it were me, I would have taught him a lesson a long time ago."
"Scum, get out of the Imperial City."
Many people agreed.
"Rongxue's pride?"
Jiang Feng sneered in his heart. He had no feelings for Mu Yuanshan's shamelessness. He looked at him coldly and asked in a low voice, "Do you think I'm not good enough for Mu Rongxue's pride? Do you think she's better than me?"
"Isn't that the case?"
Mu Yuanshan sneered, "You are just a good-for-nothing who can't sense the Spiritual Qi. My daughter, Rong Xue, has amazing talent and a special constitution. She is destined to shine in the imperial city and go to the Vast Thousand Worlds. You and she are not from the same world at all. You don't deserve to stand beside Rong Xue. You need to look up to her. Let me give you a piece of advice. You should know your limits."
"Is that so?"
Jiang Feng's expression suddenly grew cold as he turned and walked towards the stone steps on the cliff.
Mu Yuanshan was stunned, and the crowd was shocked.
"What is he going to do?"
