Chapter 3135 Shen Tianyu 535

This Taoist priest is so outspoken; Shen Tianyu, Yuan Jinzhi, and Jing Hua are all there.

Bai Chenxue glanced at the three of them discreetly; none of them listened to their conversation.

Shen Tianyu and Yuan Jinzhi were both preoccupied with their own thoughts, considering whether or not to accept Bai Feng's invitation.

Jing Hua walked along, playing with the Zigan jade plaque.

She was wondering how to give this Zigan jade pendant to Qin Xiao.

You have to impress him and win him over before you can give it to him; otherwise, he won't want something so valuable.

How can I amaze him?

This is a problem that has been around for a century.

The five appeared to be strolling around town, but in reality, Shen Tianyu, Jing Hong, and Jing Hua were secretly observing the terrain and activity around them.

Two hours later, the five returned to Fengxu Palace.

Bai Ji had already sent people to prepare food and drink, waiting to entertain them.

The table was laden with delicacies from land and sea, including several dishes that would be illegal elsewhere, but were common fare on the table here.

Shen Tianyu looked at Bai Ji and said, "The other party may need to move ahead of schedule. Inform your mother and make preparations in advance."

"You calculated that?"

Shen Tianyu said, "When I went to the outer shops today, I sensed something unusual. The clouds in the southeast turned black, indicating that evil spirits had infiltrated. This should not be underestimated."

Bai Ji lowered her eyelashes, her face filled with sorrow.

Although she had confirmed it with her mother, she still couldn't believe that her father had conspired with outsiders to kill her mother.

Her father usually doted on his daughter.

Shen Tianyu said, "When the nest is overturned, no egg remains unbroken. Once your mother collapses, you won't be safe either."

Bai Ji suddenly looked up, "You mean my father wants to kill me too?"

Shen Tianyu couldn't click any more; if she did, she would expose too much, and the unspoken understanding between her and Ren Jun would be revealed.

If the two siblings join forces, things will get out of his control.

Yuan Jinzhi said on his behalf, "Since ancient times, which man who wants to achieve lasting power has not climbed to the top by stepping on the corpses of his father and brothers? If your father wants to rebel, he will naturally leave no hidden dangers."

Shen Tianyu gave her an approving look.

This is his mouth double.

Bai Ji lowered her eyes and remained silent.

It seems hard to accept that overnight, the once peaceful and tranquil family has undergone a drastic change, and even harder to accept that her father wants to kill her.

Although her father and mother did not get along, they had a very harmonious relationship with her.

Hearing Shen Tianyu say again, "Your father has harbored ulterior motives for more than just a day or two; there are traces to follow," he realized that Shen Tianyu had said something else.

Bai Ji's heart skipped a beat!

Her mother was particularly strict with her, demanding that she practice martial arts and numerology diligently from a very young age. Her father, however, always complained that she was too demanding, which made her resent her mother and slack off in her practice.

Looking back now, I realize that his pampering and spoiling of her wasn't out of genuine love; he simply wanted to ruin her.

My mother is now over forty, and according to the curse that comes with our family, she will not live past fifty.

With her death, and given her insufficient cultivation, spoiled personality, and inability to command respect, she would easily be replaced by her father.

Her decision to marry Sheng Po accelerated the conflict and hastened her father's rebellion.

Bai Ji raised her eyes, "If I tell my father that I'm not marrying Sheng Po anymore, and that I'm willing to marry Ji Sha instead, will he back down?"

Shen Tianyu lowered his gaze, thinking to himself that this woman was indeed not as decisive and ruthless as Bai Feng.

Once the arrow is released, there's no turning back.

Ji Ren's rebellious intentions have been exposed. Even if he stops, Bai Feng will kill him to clear the way for Bai Ji.

How could Ji Ren not know such a simple truth?

How could he possibly stop?

But he was a man of few words and didn't want to waste too much time talking to Bai Ji.

Yuan Jinzhi looked at Bai Ji and said, "It's too late. Your mother has been secretly making preparations to deal with the enemy, and your father has colluded with outsiders to attempt a rebellion. Both sides have noticed and the situation is already tense. There is no way to turn things around. Even if you step in, you cannot stop it."

Bai Ji's eyes were slightly red as she stared down at the table. "Are you saying that my impulsive act caused my father and mother to become enemies and vow to fight each other to the death?"

Yuan Jinzhi said, "Either he dies, or you and your mother die."

Bai Ji raised her hand to cover her face, "I don't want my father and mother to die, I want them to live."

Yuan Jinzhi placed his hand on her back and patted her gently twice. "Born into this kind of family, you are not just yourself, you are also the future Palace Master of the entire Fengxu Palace, the protector of all the people of Fengxu Palace. You must be strong, calm, and decisive. Don't let family ties get in the way; prioritize the greater good. If you and your mother die, all your Bai clan's blood relatives, and all your and your mother's subordinates, will be executed by your father. So you must bravely stand up and protect them from this calamity. From today onwards, you are not just yourself, you are also the one who holds many lives in your hands. You must become strong."

Now, not only Shen Tianyu cast admiring glances at her, but Jing Hong, Bai Chenxue, Jing Hua, and Mao Junzhen also cast admiring glances at her.

As expected, being born into the Yuan family made her quite different from women from ordinary families.

That breadth of mind, vision, and spirit are unmatched by ordinary people.

Bai Ji raised her hand to wipe away her tears and nodded vigorously.

The group continued eating.

However, the delicious food had lost its flavor for everyone.

War is about to break out.

It is urgent.

Suddenly, Shen Tianyu and Jing Hong looked up at the window, but Master Mao Jun remained unmoved, as if everything was as expected.

An old male voice came from outside, "Pretty brat, Yuan girl, Xiao Honghong, Xiao Xuexue, Xiao Jingzi, I'm here!"

Jing Hua frowned upon hearing this.

This old rascal used to call her Little Jingjing, which was already awful enough, but now he's calling her Little Jingzi. Jing and Jing are homophones, is that a name a human being should use?

Just because she refused to date his sixteen-year-old protégé, he took revenge?

Wuya Zi jumped down from the giant eagle and hopped into the house.

He acted as if he were in his own home, and without waiting for Bai Ji to tell someone to prepare a chair for him, he pulled up a chair himself, sat down, and started eating.

He grabbed a roasted wild bird with his bare hands and ate it with gusto, his mouth dripping with oil.

Shen Tianyu's brows furrowed slightly. "Senior, didn't we agree that you would come in the evening as backup? Why did you arrive early?"

Wuya Zi took a bite of the grilled bird, his eyes lighting up as he looked at the dishes on the table. "The food at Fengxu Palace is just too good. I want to come and eat here a few more times. Don't worry, I've already found backup."

"Who?" Shen Tianyu had a headache. He was too undisciplined and never listened to orders during battles.

Wuya Zi chuckled, "It's a secret."

Shen Tianyu asked, "Where is Gu Chuchu?"

As Wuya Zi ate, he said, "Sheng Po has already escorted the father and daughter back to the capital."

Upon hearing this, Bai Ji's eyes darkened; she had ultimately lost.

He lost to Gu Chuchu.

Now, the father has colluded with outsiders to plot a rebellion; either the father dies or the mother perishes.

It's truly a case of losing both wife and army!

That night, it was dark and windy.

The vast Phoenix Void Palace appears calm on the surface, but undercurrents are surging beneath.

Shen Tianyu and the others were in the room, but none of them fell asleep.

In the middle of the night, groups of ghostly black figures quietly scaled the walls of Fengxu Palace.

Shen Tianyu stood up and said, "The enemy has already launched a sneak attack. Let's move out."

He instructed Jing Hua: "Protect Jinzhi and Miss Bai well."

Yuan Jinzhi took out a gun from his pocket and said to Shen Tianyu, "You two can go and fight without worry. Jing Hua and I will protect Miss Bai."

Shen Tianyu glanced down at the gun and thought to himself, "This little devil is so clever. I wonder when and where she got the gun?"

It actually fooled him.

Yuan Jinzhi nodded at him, her beautiful, bright eyes hard and brave. "A tiger husband has no dog wife. I am your tiger wife, not your pampered wife."

Shen Tianyu smiled slightly, though he shouldn't have.

This woman always managed to surprise him.
