TSFLIP Chapter 413

Feng Guang thought for a moment, “What you’re saying… seems to make some sense.”

“Hmph, I don’t know how my senior brother was tricked into this, actually having a child with you. Sigh, I can’t do anything about it, so I might as well take you along and get you both out of here.” Mu Ning sighed dramatically, her tone tinged with sadness. In her view, her senior brother was like a flower on a high peak—untouchable and distant, something to be admired from afar. Even she couldn’t win his affection, so how did this woman get ahead of her?

Well, that’s because your fate lies with that person, Ye Jin!

Feng Guang tugged at Fang Yue’s sleeve, standing on tiptoe to whisper in his ear, “What do you think? Can we trust her?”

“Junior Sister… she’s certainly different from the other disciples,” Fang Yue responded.

Feng Guang nodded, agreeing. Mu Ning was Li Qing, the heroine of a romance story. She didn’t have the usual sinister or cruel traits. You see what I mean?

“Alright, we’ll go with her.” Just as Fang Yue was about to say something, she added, “You carry the baby.”

Fang Yue closed his mouth.

Mu Ning led them through a hidden passage she had created using an illusionary technique. While she wasn’t very fond of studying spells, she took this kind of practical trick quite seriously. For instance, this hidden passage had managed to elude detection from many cultivators more powerful than her.

Feng Guang walked in the middle, deliberately separating Mu Ning and Fang Yue. Ever since she had learned that Fang Yue was Chu Yu, her heart had become uneasy. She feared that he might be drawn to the heroine’s aura. Fang Yue, oblivious to her concerns, stiffened as he held the baby, his face a mixture of silence and subtle grievance.

He didn’t like holding the baby—he preferred holding Feng Guang. But ever since Mu Ning appeared, Feng Guang’s attention had shifted almost entirely to her, rarely looking at him. It made his heart feel heavy.

The further they walked into the hidden passage, the more quiet Mu Ning became. She suddenly stopped and softly said, “Senior Brother, you’re leaving, and you’ll never return to the Xuanmen, right? Mu Ning wants to say a few words to you. Is that alright?”

Fang Yue, with a keen sense, glanced at Feng Guang. Seeing that she did not object, he answered, “What do you want to say to me?”

“I… I hope you won’t forget me, Senior Brother. To me, you will always be my Senior Brother.” Mu Ning stepped around Feng Guang and stood directly in front of Fang Yue.

As they brushed past each other, Feng Guang noticed that for a brief moment, Mu Ning’s eyes seemed to turn green.

Mu Ning extended her hand, as if wanting to touch Fang Yue. “Senior Brother…”

“Fang Yue!” Feng Guang’s mind immediately screamed a warning. Damn it, because of her recent childbirth, her strength hadn’t fully recovered, and she couldn’t even cast several remote spells. All she could do was quickly step in front of Fang Yue. What followed was the sound of a blade sinking into her chest.

Mu Ning’s eyes went blank, her expression vacant, and the dagger she held had already pierced Feng Guang’s chest.

“Feng Guang!” Fang Yue swung Mu Ning away with one hand, then caught Feng Guang in his arms as she collapsed.

Mu Ning fell to the ground, coughing up blood before losing consciousness.

Feng Guang gasped for breath, the pain unbearable. At least, she could still optimistically think that this pain was nothing compared to childbirth. Gritting her teeth through the agony, she spoke, “Mu Ning… she’s been affected by Yimu’s eye technique… don’t be sad…”

She knew that Fang Yue valued his relationships with his fellow disciples, and Mu Ning had been a close junior sister to him. Having someone from his sect by his side would have made him happy. She didn’t want to see him upset.
