Chapter 486: Four hundred and eighty-six, I yield!
"Hongzhuang sister, what’s wrong with you?"
Next to a graceful figure clad in red, a hint of jealousy flashed in the eyes of the Lingtian Empire’s Crown Prince Nie Qianqiu, yet his voice betrayed nothing as he asked.
This lady in red was naturally Xu Hongzhuang, the daughter of the Sect Master from Lingyun Sect of the same empire. When she saw that roughly-dressed young man again, her emotions became incredibly complex.
From their first encounter in Xuri City to the subsequent battles side by side, and the moment Lingyun Sect punctured the veil of deceit, with Yun Xiao healing Xu Hongzhuang’s mother, all these fragments remained unforgettable to Xu Hongzhuang.
Especially at that moment when Yun Xiao broke the half piece of the betrothal Jade Pendant with his own hands, Xu Hongzhuang felt like her heart was bleeding each time she remembered this scene.
It was an engagement decided while she was still in her mother’s womb, but due to some irrevocable reasons, the two of them eventually became strangers. Xu Hongzhuang knew full well that two families, with a feud of clan annihilation between them, could never come together again.
But even though she understood this in her heart, Xu Hongzhuang still couldn’t let go of that young man who had left such a profound impression on her, especially now that she had seen him once more, she realized she was unable to extricate herself.
To Nie Qianqiu’s words, Xu Hongzhuang turned a deaf ear. At this moment, the only person in her eyes was the roughly-dressed young man. As for the others, they were as insignificant to her as passing clouds.
Seeing Xu Hongzhuang ignoring him, Nie Qianqiu couldn’t help but recall Ran Xing’s words to him, and he raised his voice: "Hongzhuang sister, Yun Xiao himself went to Lingyun Sect to break off the engagement. Such a heartless and unfaithful guy, why should you..."
"Shut up!"
Nie Qianqiu’s thoughtless words had clearly struck a nerve at the deepest, most sensitive part of Xu Hongzhuang’s heart, prompting her immediate, explosive reaction.
