Chapter 185 - Visitor with Ill Intent - Fu Changhong
【In response to Ye Yu’s question, the woman said with an indifferent expression: I am Fu Changhong, Dai’er’s aunt.】
【“Dai’er” is the name Fu Wangdai uses in the village.】
【Since she is an aunt, she is considered an elder.】
【Ye Yu didn’t think much of it and was about to salute her with a cupped fist gesture.】
【But he heard Fu Changhong speak again: I never expected that the esteemed heir of the Ji Xia Academy, He Jieying’s only son, would choose to live in such seclusion in these mountains.】
【Is it really just for the sake of a beautiful face? Do you even know who your wife is?】
【As soon as Fu Changhong finished speaking, Fu Wangdai returned from gathering herbs.】
【Upon seeing Fu Changhong in the room, her expression changed drastically!】
【She hurriedly said: Aunt, w-what are you doing here? Can we talk outside? Please, I beg you!】
【Fu Changhong’s face darkened as she said coldly: What is there to talk about? Look at you now. In coarse clothes, carrying a basket. You look just like a village woman! Are you even worthy of your surname?】
【Fu Wangdai lowered her head slightly.】
【She felt quite guilty.】
【But still, she whispered: Aunt, can we talk outside? Not here, please!】
【Seeing Fu Wangdai in such a state, Ye Yu couldn’t help but frown.】
【It felt as if this woman named Fu Changhong wasn’t here with good intentions.】
【Not only did she know his identity, but after her arrival, Fu Wangdai became extremely tense.】
【This feeling was quite unpleasant.】
【At that moment, Ye Yu heard Fu Changhong’s thoughts.】
【“Dai’er, are you scared too? You should be! Eight years ago, you left the Five Flower Prison Sect without a word!”】
【“And now, you’re living such a peaceful life here? Your fate cannot be just this; you must obediently be a knife in my hands!”】
【“I will reveal both of your identities now. Let the two of you love and kill each other! When your dearest one dies at your hands, you will naturally come back to me!”】
【Upon hearing this, Ye Yu’s gaze grew increasingly cold.】
【Aunt who views her niece as a tool is certainly not a good person!】
【Fu Changhong coldly said: No need to go outside; we’ll talk right here! Do you know who this man is?】
【He is—】
【Before Fu Changhong could finish her sentence, Ye Yu decisively interrupted: Fu Wangdai, I am the son of Ye Qingyu and He Jieying, grand elders of Ji Xia Academy!】
【This is my true identity.】
【Fu Wangdai’s expression turned pale with shock.】
【But she did not dwell on Ye Yu’s identity; instead, she murmured: You know who I am?】
【Previously, Fu Wangdai had never dared to reveal her real name to Ye Yu, fearing that he would learn her true identity and reject her.】
【Yet now, Ye Yu had directly stated her true name.】
【”What is going on? When did Ye Yu find out?”】
【Hearing these thoughts, Ye Yu spoke: From the very beginning, I knew your identity. I wanted to see what you were doing here.】
【As time passed, I developed feelings for you. Now, I am willing to live a simple, ordinary life with you.】
【But I am quite displeased with the way this woman speaks; she seems to have ill intentions!】
【After speaking, Ye Yu held Fu Wangdai’s hand and looked provocatively at Fu Changhong.】
【The latter’s expression turned strange, unable to help but take a step back.】
【“Why is this guy so calm? Shouldn’t the Ji Xia Academy and the Five Flower Prison Sect be enemies?”】
【“Why does he seem unfazed?”】
【Fu Changhong furrowed her brows deeply.】
【Her mind raced, and she coldly said: You’re talking nonsense! Fu Wangdai, come here. The righteous and demonic paths can never be together!】
【This guy is only staying with you to eliminate you! You must not be blinded by your feelings.】
【Upon hearing these words, Fu Wangdai’s expression instantly dimmed.】
【But she did not release Ye Yu’s hand; instead, she grasped it even tighter.】
【This small action was completely noticed by Fu Changhong.】
【She immediately realized something was wrong.】
【It seemed this girl was already deeply in love?】
【No, this cannot be allowed!】
【Fu Changhong spoke again: Come with me, or you will surely die at this person’s hands in the future!】
【Fu Wangdai shouted: Stop talking! Aunt, let me be alone for a while!】
【After I have thought things through, I will come to find you!】
【But for now, please leave!】
【Upon hearing this, a trace of resentment flashed in Fu Changhong’s eyes.】
【She slowly left the thatched house.】
【She knew very well that if she continued to press the issue, Fu Wangdai would not leave with her. Rather than completely tearing their relationship apart, it was better to observe the situation.】
【If Fu Wangdai truly chose Ye Yu, she had plenty of ways to break them apart!】
【After Fu Changhong left, Fu Wangdai’s eyes were red as she looked up at Ye Yu.】
【She asked, You knew my identity from the beginning. Why didn’t you reveal it?】
【Ye Yu softly replied: If I had revealed it, would you still be with me?】
【Fu Wangdai was momentarily stunned.】
【Yes, if Ye Yu had exposed her identity early on, she might not have stayed with him later.】
【Perhaps, on the very night they first met, Fu Wangdai might have killed Ye Yu right then!】
【But—】
【The next moment, Ye Yu suddenly embraced Fu Wangdai.】
【Whispering softly: I haven’t lied. Over these years, we’ve loved each other deeply. Feelings cannot be faked.】
【Whether you’re a mountain village girl or a demonic path leader, the one I love is you!】
【Hearing this confession, Fu Wangdai was overwhelmed with joy and tears.】
【As long as Ye Yu did not disdain her identity and did not abandon her, that was the greatest blessing.】
【Beyond that, nothing else mattered!】
【Moments later.】
【Once Fu Wangdai’s emotions had stabilized, Ye Yu asked the questions that had been on his mind.】
【Why did the demonic path leader give up her position to live in this remote village?】
【And what is the story with that woman, Fu Changhong?】
【Then, under Fu Wangdai’s explanation, Ye Yu finally understood everything.】
【It turned out that the previous sect leader of the Five Flower Prison was Fu Wangdai’s father, Fu Changqing.】
【But before Fu Wangdai was old enough to understand, her parents had both perished.】
【It was her aunt, Fu Changhong, who had raised her.】
【From a young age, Fu Wangdai’s life had revolved around two things: cultivation and revenge!】
【According to Fu Changhong, Fu Wangdai’s parents had died due to someone’s scheme!】
【To avenge her loved ones, she had to keep growing stronger!】
