Chapter 1402 - 1378: Break In!

On the other side, in the vast and imposing yet ancient old courtyard of the Long Family, in one of the rooms, Long Yue was sitting before the dressing table.

At this moment, she was dressed for joy, wearing a phoenix coronet and draped in a rosy wedding robe, with a light red powder brushed over her face, making her look like a celestial maiden.

Only, her face was utterly expressionless.

She looked at herself in the mirror as if she were looking at a stranger.

Only at this moment did Long Yue finally confirm one thing: the one she liked was Ren Feng.

After she returned to the Dragon Domain, that elder who had gone with them previously reported the situation, and the Long Family immediately made a decision, confirming the marriage alliance with the Ximen Family and directly arranging the wedding.

Things always change so suddenly; Long Yue had no right to resist at all. According to the Long Family's rhetoric, Long Family women must put the political overall situation first; marrying Ximen Yao was a good choice.

Moreover, for reasons unknown—whether that Long Family elder from the ruins had said something—Long Yue was put under house arrest, unable to go out, and had no way to contact Ren Feng.

These days, she was burning with anxiety; she didn't want her fate to be squandered like this. She yearned for Ren Feng to come save her.

These days, whenever her thoughts drifted, almost all she saw was Ren Feng's face. It was only at this moment that she realized she actually liked Ren Feng.

No matter that he had so many women, no matter anything else, she liked him. This was something she only confirmed after facing her own heart. But Long Yue wasn't quite sure whether Ren Feng liked her as well.

It was a pity she hadn't asked him face to face.

In this state of gain-and-loss, torn and conflicted as if fighting a war between heaven and man, time passed. Later, the Cyan Dragon arrived at the Dragon Domain, learned of the matter, and came to see Long Yue.

Right then and there, Long Yue begged Cyan Dragon to deliver a letter to Ren Feng for her. But once she took up the brush, thousands of words crowded her heart and she didn't know where to start. More importantly, she couldn't judge what Ren Feng truly felt.

In the end, she sighed and simply wrote down a single line of verse.

Long Yue came back to herself, looking at the image in the mirror, as if sinking into silence.

At the same time, the door was pushed open and two maidservants walked in.

"Miss, why haven't you finished your makeup? In just half an hour it will be the auspicious time. If we delay the timing, that won't do."

The two maidservants set about helping Long Yue dress up.

...

Ren Feng was still waiting outside. In this gorge of Changbai Mountain, though it was only the spring months of April and May, because it was close to the north, snow was still falling from the sky.

The snowfall was light, but endless flakes drifted down from the sky into the gorge, landing on Ren Feng's body and on the bodies of the three guards ahead.

Time ticked by second after second. Ren Feng grew more and more restless. He waited a full twenty-some minutes, yet that expert still hadn't come out.

Unable to hold back any longer, Ren Feng was about to go in, but the other three experts blocked his way.

"He still hasn't come back. We can't verify whether what you said is true."

One expert spoke.

"Does it take this long just to pass on a message?"

Ren Feng frowned.

"Wait a bit longer," another man said.

Ren Feng had no choice but to keep waiting. Another ten-plus minutes passed; nearly forty minutes in total, and Ren Feng was already at the end of his patience. He moved to charge inside.

"What do you think you're doing?"

The three guards barked coldly.

"I'm going in," Ren Feng said icily.

"He still hasn't come out."

"Hasn't come out?" Ren Feng sneered. "You need this long just to report a matter? Are you taking me for a fool or an idiot? Whether he comes out or not, I'm going in."

"You dare?"

"Why wouldn't I dare?"

Anger was already written on Ren Feng's face. He had sensed that something was wrong, and the aura over his entire body burst forth. Just then, that expert emerged from the entrance.

When Ren Feng saw him, he frowned and instantly retracted his aura.

"Can I go in now?"

The expert looked at Ren Feng and shook his head. "No. I couldn't verify it."

"Why couldn't you verify it?"

Ren Feng's anger surfaced again, his gaze turning cold.

"Because I didn't see Miss Long Yue. Even after waiting so long I couldn't meet her, so there was no way to verify anything."

"You're playing me!"

Ren Feng stared at him coldly.

"I'm not. I'm just following the rules," the man said.

"Fine! Then let me see whether what you said is true or false!"

In the next instant, Ren Feng struck without warning. True Qi surged wildly through his body, and his vast, ocean-like Divine Sense roared forward, crashing toward the four men ahead!

The four had no time to react at all before they were forcibly suppressed by Ren Feng's terrifying Divine Sense!

"Ah!"

One of them simply couldn't withstand the surging impact of Ren Feng's Divine Sense and cried out in agony. The other two were also struggling bitterly; beads of sweat instantly appeared on their foreheads!

Terror flickered in their eyes. Why was this man's spiritual assault so terrifying?

In a flash, Ren Feng seized the Dragon Domain guard who had gone inside to report. In that instant, his vast Divine Sense crashed straight into the man's Soul Sea!

"No, don't—!"

Panic filled the man's eyes as Ren Feng lifted him off the ground by the throat, leaving him no strength to resist.

Once suppressed on the spiritual level, they had no way to fight back. The stabbing pain in their Soul Sea left them like lambs to the slaughter.

In the span of a thought, Ren Feng saw everything this expert had done before: his entire conversation with Ximen Yao was laid bare in Ren Feng's mind.

"As expected. You dared to toy with me!"

Rage had already distorted Ren Feng's face; his eyes were glacially cold, and the strength in his right hand grew even greater.

"No~ no… cough, don't…"

The expert could no longer speak clearly, and in the next moment Ren Feng clenched harder. With a crisp crack at the man's throat, the bones in his neck shattered!

His head lolled to the left; his life was snuffed out on the spot. Ren Feng flung him aside, and the corpse crashed to the ground.

The remaining men were all struck with horror. Two of them shouted, enduring the stabbing pain as they retreated back toward the entrance.

Ren Feng's expression was ice-cold as he walked straight toward the entrance!

As the two retreated into the entrance, the terrifying spiritual pressure was finally cut off. They suddenly felt as if they'd broken out in a cold sweat.

"Go, hurry and report to Mr. Ximen!"

One of them shouted and shot off into the distance.

The other yelled, "Prepare yourselves! We have an intruder!"

The surrounding experts of the Dragon Domain all snapped to attention at his shout, and just then, Ren Feng's figure appeared within the entrance!

His aura was cold from head to toe. The instant he stepped into the Dragon Domain, his Divine Sense spread out ahead!

Around him, all those experts saw Ren Feng clearly.

"Hmph!"

A cold snort exploded like thunder, blasting in Ren Feng's ears.
