Chapter 336: Mistaking the Gas for the Brakes — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
Once Wang Haoran left the sight of Feng Anna and Zhong Li, he fell into deep thought, pondering how best to handle the situation with Yan Yuntian. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
For the time being, he had no intention of facing Yan Yuntian head-on. Not because he feared the man, but because he feared his own temper. If things came to a direct confrontation, there was a real chance he’d lose control and end up staking everything on luck—specifically, on that 20% chance that Yan Yuntian’s Fatal Damage Rebound Halo wouldn’t trigger. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
But if it did trigger? — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
He’d be the one buried six feet under, not Yan Yuntian. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
That risk was far too high. There had to be another way. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
Soon, an idea sparked to life. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
He took out his phone and made a call. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
—— — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
In a sprawling estate, deep within a private room, Yan Yuntian finally emerged. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
The betrayal by his fiancée still gnawed at him. Even after two full days, the blow had yet to fully fade. But the worst of his anger had cooled—at least on the surface. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
Still, he had no intention of letting Feng Anna or her so-called lover off the hook. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
Today was her deadline. If she refused to comply, he would take matters into his own hands. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
Just as the thought formed, Yu Ning returned from outside. In this household, she served as the maid, though there were others who took care of Yan Yuntian’s daily needs. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
He had sent her out to dig up information on Feng Anna’s lover. If she were back now, she likely had something to report. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
Yan Yuntian stood up sharply. “You found him?” — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
Yu Ning nodded, though hesitation clouded her expression. She didn’t speak immediately. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
“Who is it? Just say it already. Who’s Feng Anna involved with?” — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
“It’s not quite what you think,” Yu Ning said, her voice careful. “It wasn’t just one lover… They were all brief encounters. Fickle, fleeting. But there were many of them. The ones I confirmed—more than twenty. Who knows how many I didn’t manage to trace.” — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
【Ding! The host manipulated things behind the scenes, damaging the protagonist Yan Yuntian’s mental state. Gained 1000 Villain Points!】 — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
“More than twenty…?” Yan Yuntian stood frozen, eyes wide. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
It wasn’t a single hat placed on his head—it was a closet full of them. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
He felt the weight of each betrayal press down on him, like mountains piled atop his skull. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
Yu Ning watched him closely, and though her face remained serious, her eyes glimmered with a trace of amusement. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
Her tone was measured as she asked, “What’s the plan now? With that many men, killing all of them would cause too much of a stir.” — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
Yan Yuntian’s fists clenched, then slowly released. “Forget it.” — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
He couldn’t afford to ignite a scandal of that scale. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
But his fury toward Feng Anna only burned brighter. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
“Keep a close watch on her. If she doesn’t end herself before nightfall, then bring her to me. I’ll make her regret ever being born.” — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
Yu Ning gave a nod and turned to leave, but minutes later, she returned. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
“What is it now?” Yan Yuntian frowned. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
Before she could reply, a graceful silhouette drifted into view—peerless, poised, breathtaking. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
Feng Xuansu. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
“I heard what happened with Feng Anna,” she said, coming straight to the point. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
Yan Yuntian looked embarrassed. “I didn’t expect her to be that kind of woman. Sorry you had to hear about it, Aunt.” — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
“I’m not here to mock you,” she said, her voice calm. “I came to ask you to let Feng Anna go.” — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
Yan Yuntian’s face darkened. “Aunt, as a man, how could you expect me to endure this?” — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
“She’s only your fiancée, not your wife,” Feng Xuansu replied evenly. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
“Even if she’s only my fiancée, doing something like this… It’s still a betrayal. I can’t just let her off.” — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
“Is she your only fiancée?” Feng Xuansu asked. “You have others. She never wanted to marry you in the first place. What she did—while unpleasant—can be forgiven.” — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
Yan Yuntian narrowed his eyes. “You and Feng Anna never interacted much. Why defend her so fiercely now?” — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
A faint glint flashed through Feng Xuansu’s eyes, quickly buried beneath her usual composure. “Because I’m a woman too. I’m just trying to be fair.” — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
“Fair to her? What about fairness to me?” Yan Yuntian snapped. “I’m the one who was humiliated. What? You expect me to tuck my tail between my legs and pretend it didn’t happen?” — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
Seeing his attitude, Feng Xuansu’s patience began to fray. Her tone cooled. “You have so many fiancées. Losing one won’t matter. Hardly anyone knows what happened. End the engagement quietly. Act as if it never occurred.” — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
“I listen to you in other things, Aunt. But not this.” — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
Feng Xuansu’s expression turned resolute. “Then I’ll make myself clear. I’ve decided to protect Feng Anna. If you lay a finger on her, don’t blame me for turning against you.” — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
Her words struck him like a slap. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
He assumed his earlier stance would make his aunt back off. He never imagined she’d dig in her heels even deeper. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
Yan Yuntian’s face cycled through a storm of expressions. In the end, he could only sigh. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
There was nothing he could do against Feng Xuansu. Her status within the Fengxi Sect was too high. And besides, he didn’t want to sour their relationship. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
He forcibly smothered his desire for vengeance. But curiosity flickered in his heart. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
“Aunt… can you at least tell me why you go to such lengths for Feng Anna?” — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
“As I said before,” Feng Xuansu answered, calm and unreadable, “I’m just standing up for another woman.” — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
Yan Yuntian didn’t buy it. Not for a second. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
But she clearly didn’t want to explain further, and he couldn’t press her. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
He could only bury the question in his heart. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
“I’ll take my leave now,” Feng Xuansu said. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
“Miss Xuansu, allow me to escort you,” Yu Ning offered, walking her out of the estate. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
Once Feng Xuansu stepped beyond sight, she took out her phone and dialed. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
“Haoran, I did as you asked. Yan Yuntian won’t go after Feng Anna.” — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
“Thank you,” Wang Haoran’s voice came through the receiver. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
“Still so formal with your own wife?” Feng Xuansu slipped, a shy note creeping into her voice. She quickly corrected herself. “Ahem—anyway, you owe me dinner.” — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
“I’ll treat you next time,” Wang Haoran said, feigning ignorance. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
“I’m free now,” she replied eagerly, almost too quickly. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
“I have class this afternoon. Another day.” — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
“Alright then,” she said, trying not to sound too disappointed. “But don’t forget.” — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
“I won’t.” — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
After hanging up, Wang Haoran stepped out of his villa. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
It was just past noon. With class in the afternoon, he made his way toward the Qingling Campus on foot. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
But as he approached the road leading into the campus, a commotion caught his attention. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
A crowd had gathered, murmuring anxiously. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
“Someone was hit by a car… the accident happened right here—” — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
Amidst the group stood Ji Shuiyao, her voice cool and composed as she called for an ambulance, but her face was deathly pale from shock. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
A few meters ahead of her, a young man lay sprawled on the pavement, soaked in blood, his breathing shallow and labored. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
“If I’d known… I’d never have picked a female driver to scam.” — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
Lying broken on the ground, Lu Chen’s thoughts were sluggish but clear enough for regret to bloom in his chest. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
His grandfather was in the hospital, gravely ill. Desperate and penniless, he had turned to petty fraud, hoping to earn a few hundred yuan from a staged accident. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
But fate had its own plans. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
The woman behind the wheel must’ve panicked when he jumped out. Instead of braking, she must’ve slammed the gas, launching him into the air. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
Now, as his consciousness dimmed, regret swelled inside him like a tide. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
Then, just as darkness claimed his vision, the bloodstained jade pendant on his chest, shaped like a Yin-Yang symbol which emitted a barely perceptible gleam. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
And in that fleeting instant, a solemn voice echoed in his mind: — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
“I am the Ancient Immortal Doctor of Yin-Yang. From this moment forth, you are my successor. Once you inherit my legacy, you must hang your gourd to aid the world, and save lives from danger and despair.” — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
