Chapter 752 769: Qing Feng
Xia Yuyi nodded, "I understand, Brother Lin, don't worry, I know what to do!""Mm, as long as you know, I think you should make the right choice." Lin Mu said and then fell silent.
The car quickly arrived at the village, stopping in front of the farmhouse. Lin Mu parked the car, then got out with Xia Yuyi, and together they entered the courtyard. Two disciples from the Dark Night Sect welcomed Xia Yuyi into the house; Lin Mu did not follow them inside as he couldn't stand the crying and sorrow that follows death, especially with a group of women sobbing, which he found unbearable.
Besides, Lin Mu was not part of the sect, so it felt inappropriate for him to enter, especially under these circumstances. Zhou Meimei and Guo Furong were also outside the courtyard! After a while, Xia Yuyi came out with tears in her eyes, accompanied by Qing Feng!
"Brother Lin, tonight I'm going to stay with the Golden Leaf Sect Leader, so I won't be going back home." Xia Yuyi said.
"Is your body up to it?" Lin Mu asked, still concerned as Xia Yuyi hadn't fully recovered.
"Don't worry, I'm fine, the sisters can take care of me!" Xia Yuyi said, wrapping her arm around Qing Feng's.
Lin Mu nodded, "Alright, then I'll trouble Qing Feng to take care of Yuyi!"
"Boss Lin, don't worry!" Qing Feng nodded.
"Okay, I'll be off then!" Lin Mu bade farewell and drove away.
As night fell, the sky gradually darkened. The disciples of the Dark Night Sect took turns keeping vigil by the ashes of the Golden Leaf Sect Leader, while Xia Yuyi stayed there all along.
"Yuyi, it's late, you should rest now. Tomorrow is the ceremony for succession of the sect leader!" Qing Feng patted Xia Yuyi's shoulder and said.
"Sister Qing Feng, it's alright, I'll stay a little longer and rest soon!" Xia Yuyi replied.
"Alright, don't delay. You just got out of the hospital, and your health is important!" Qing Feng said and then left.
An hour later, Xia Yuyi was feeling a bit sleepy. The other disciples of the Dark Night Sect had gone to rest, leaving only a few to take turns standing watch. Xia Yuyi got up and went back to her room!
Due to limited space, the Dark Night Sect members slept together. Since Xia Yuyi was still recuperating, they had specially allocated a room for her to rest well. After all, tomorrow she would become the new sect leader of the Dark Night Sect, deserving such a privilege!
Back in the room, Xia Yuyi yawned and lay down on the bed. At that moment, a shadow flashed outside the window, the door creaked, followed by light footsteps. Suddenly, a sharp dagger thrust toward Xia Yuyi! The chill was palpable, and as she lay in bed, Xia Yuyi suddenly opened her eyes, rolled over, and the dagger plunged into the quilt on the bed!
Xia Yuyi flipped sideways and stood up swiftly, knocking off the mask of the person in black. They turned their head, revealing a familiar face before Xia Yuyi. Her brows furrowed, and disappointment filled her face, "Sister Qing Feng, why are you attacking me?"
Qing Feng looked at Xia Yuyi, seemingly transformed, full of hatred, "Because you snatched the sect leader position from me!"
"Is that enough reason for you to want to kill me?" Xia Yuyi's eyes grew cold, unflinching as she lunged at Qing Feng, "Sister Qing Feng, I never intended to take the sect leader position from you. In my heart, I've always believed you were the best candidate for the next sect leader. Even if the Golden Leaf Sect Leader wants me to succeed, I planned to give the position to you tomorrow. But you..."
"Yuyi, it's too late to say all that now. I must have the sect leader position, and you must die because you know too much!" Qing Feng glared at Xia Yuyi, her presence full of murderous intent.
"If you want to kill me, I need to ask you one question: did you kill the Golden Leaf Sect Leader?" Xia Yuyi showed no fear, confronting Qing Feng.
"Hehe, that's correct. I used the deadly toxin she taught me, striking when she didn't expect it!" Qing Feng chuckled.
"Why did you kill the Golden Leaf Sect Leader, just for a trivial sect leader position?" Xia Yuyi was extremely angry.
"Yes, I did it for the sect leader position. I've waited so long, and my patience ran out. But those reasons are unimportant; the most crucial thing for me is revenge!" Qing Feng's body was filled with chill, her eyes releasing a vengeful aura.
"Revenge?"
"Since we're speaking, I'll tell you everything. My biological parents were killed by the Golden Leaf Sect Leader. I was only four at the time, which is why I followed the Golden Leaf Sect Leader since then. She killed my parents, then raised me as her own!" Qing Feng coldly explained.
"So you've been holding back all these years?"
"Indeed, I've been holding back for over twenty years, waiting for the chance to strike. The Golden Leaf Sect Leader thought I had long forgotten the hatred, but I never did. I kept it in my heart. I secretly bided my time for the best moment, and now I've finally found it. Unexpectedly, and as I had anticipated, she didn't hand the sect leader position to me but to you. She never considered me as one of her own. You should understand now why, in many aspects, you are inferior to me, yet the Golden Leaf Sect Leader allowed you to take over as leader." Qing Feng stated.
Xia Yuyi looked at Qing Feng, although she didn't understand the past events nor why the Golden Leaf Sect Leader had killed Qing Feng's family, she pondered whether revenge would ever end.
"Sister Qing Feng, revenge won't ever end, I advise you to stop!" Xia Yuyi urged.
"Stop? Hehe, I have no path of return now, I must continue forward resolutely. The moment I killed the Golden Leaf Sect Leader, there was no turning back, so I have to force myself to move forward!" Qing Feng stared at Xia Yuyi, "Don't blame me for being ruthless, you were the person I cared about most in the sect, but now I have no choice. You must die; blame the Golden Leaf Sect Leader for giving the position to you!"
"Sister Qing Feng, don't sink deeper. If you admit your mistake before the sect sisters, they will forgive you. Don't stray further!"
"Hehe, Xia Yuyi, you're too naive. I have no escape route, so you must die!" Qing Feng's last words suddenly grew cold as she picked up the dagger and thrust it toward Xia Yuyi.
