Shaojun riding the sea

Chapter 220 Is he lying?

"People's hearts are fickle. Do you dare to bet on his sincerity?"

Feng Qiyun grew up under the strange gazes of the people on the island. He knows the importance of his own abilities better than anyone else. Only if he is valuable and capable will he be noticed by others. Only if he becomes strong will he be respected and wash away the humiliating insults on him.

So he didn't dare to slack off or fall behind others. He had been working diligently and doing his best to sit in the position of high priest. Only in front of his sister could he let down all his guard. He didn't need to be so tense anymore and try his best to prove himself to anyone. He didn't need to be an invulnerable and omnipotent strong man anymore.

Because only his sister would never despise him. Only in front of her, he didn't need to be capable, valuable, or even useless. He would still be her closest brother and the person who was most inseparable from her in the world.

But now all this is about to be broken. His sister is going to separate from him and follow another man, leaving him.

Feng Qiyun felt as if the sky was falling and the earth was collapsing. He was unwilling to accept this fact and was unwilling to let go of his only relative in this world!
"Sister, if you really insist on separating from me, and become a one-armed girl in the future and no longer have the spirit of the past, Kuang Heng will definitely despise you. Do you believe it?"

"I don't believe it." Even after hearing her brother's firm words, Feng Jiyue still shook her head. Her eyes were clear and she answered firmly:
"Kuang Heng is not an ordinary superficial man. He will not despise me. Even if I become a one-armed girl in the future and can no longer draw a bow and shoot arrows, and no longer have the spirit of the past, Kuang Heng will never... despise me. I believe him."

"It's ridiculous. People's hearts are hard to predict. Haven't you and I suffered enough bullying and scorn since childhood? How dare you believe in a man's insignificant love?"

Feng Qiyun snorted coldly and made a conclusion with a sneer, but Feng Jiyue still pleaded stubbornly: "I believe in him, I really believe in him, brother, please help me, help... me and Ah Heng."

"So you still chose...your Ah Heng. We have been conjoined siblings for so many years, but in your heart, my brother is still not as good as Kuang Heng?"

Feng Qiyun knew Feng Jiyue's personality best. If she made a decision, no one could change it. So the conversation between the siblings had reached this point and there was no need to continue. Feng Qiyun just gritted his teeth and asked one last time:
"So you are determined to perform the separation technique and will never regret it?"

Feng Jiyue's eyes were slightly red. Her brother's sad and desperate look made her feel heartbroken, but she still looked straight into her brother's eyes and nodded heavily.

"Brother, I'm sorry. Life is still very long. I just want to live a different life. I want to be free and unfettered...walk around in this world."

"Okay, I'll help you!" Feng Qiyun suddenly shouted in a sad voice, almost laughing in sorrow: "Then just take a gamble!"

His pair of narrow and handsome eyebrows were so determined, and every word echoed clearly in Feng Jiyue's ears: "As you wish, we will perform the separation technique immediately. The arm we once shared will belong to me. From now on, you, Feng Jiyue, will be a one-armed and disabled person, and you will no longer be able to pull the Moon-Grabbing Divine Bow. Let's see if Kuang Heng will still marry you and whether he will remain loyal to you?!"

"How about it, do you dare to take this gamble?"

-

The aroma of tea wafts in the air and the room is quiet. All the twists and turns and thrilling past events have now turned into a wisp of light smoke.

Shi Xuanling's heart trembled upon hearing this, as if her soul had also attached itself to Feng Jiyue, making the same dilemma with her. "We Feng family really love gambling. Let me guess who lost the bet. Did Feng Qiyun's prediction come true? After the brothers and sisters separated, sister Feng Jiyue became a one-armed girl, no longer the goddess who drew a bow and shot arrows on the cliff, so Kuang Heng changed his mind and was unwilling to marry her again?"

Isn't that what is written in folk stories? Beautiful clouds are easily broken and people are easily changed. There are many unfaithful men. Feng Qiyun grew up on the island with many setbacks and is well versed in human nature. He will definitely not make a mistake.

Shi Xuanling was almost certain about her answer, but unexpectedly Feng Shuxing just took a sip of tea, smiled and shook his head:

"No, Miss Shi, you guessed wrong. The person who lost the bet was not Feng Jiyue, but... Feng Qiyun."

"Wha, what?"

Those who were shocked were not only Shi Xuanling today, but also Feng Qiyun from hundreds of years ago, as well as Zhongli Fu and Yue Zhiqing, and even the entire Kuang family.

After all, how could a man like Kuang Heng, a rare talent and a favored child of heaven, be willing to marry a girl with a broken arm?

Unfortunately, everyone misjudged him. Just as Feng Jiuyue said, Kuang Heng was indeed not an ordinary man. He was an imperial star in the sky, how could he be compared with ordinary mortals?

After the Feng brothers and sisters finally separated and became one, Kuang Heng not only did not change his heart, he did not even have the slightest dislike for Feng Jiyue's imperfection. Instead, he admired Feng Jiyue's resoluteness and courage even more. His love for her grew stronger over time, and the two finally promised to spend their lives together.

This time, Feng Qiyun was completely defeated and could not say anything to stop him. He could only watch Feng Jiyue walk towards Kuang Heng, and watch Kuang Heng hold up Feng Jiyue's only remaining hand, lower his head and kiss it gently with care.

Feng Qiyun was so distressed that he almost lost control and completely destroyed the pair of divine bows. It was Zhongli Fu who stopped him and stayed with him all night long to suppress his inner demons.

However, the ensuing dispute over the selection of the new emperor caused the conflict between Feng Qiyun and Kuang Heng to erupt once again.

Yue Zhiqing followed Kuang Heng and intended to establish a new dynasty, Dongmu, with harsh laws as the foundation of the country, suppress the remaining restless forces of the previous dynasty, gather power everywhere, and centralize jurisdiction, without distinction between relatives and strangers, and without distinction between the noble and the humble, all decisions were made according to the law, in order to enrich the country, strengthen the military, and rule the country by law.

Feng Qiyun, on the other hand, devoted himself to assisting Zhongli Fu, hoping to establish a new Tonglu Kingdom on Yunzhou Island, implement benevolent policies, and recuperate, which was exactly the opposite of the path that Kuang Heng wanted to take.

"I know about this past. Feng Qiyun thought Kuang Heng was too murderous and was unwilling to support him as the new emperor. Moreover, when the world was at peace, he had personally divined a hexagram that if Kuang Heng became emperor, it would be a very bad omen. Feng Qiyun did not want to see the people fall into dire straits again, so he firmly opposed Kuang Heng becoming emperor."

"Really?" Feng Shuxing raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at Shi Xuanling opposite him, and suddenly smiled meaningfully: "Miss Shi, is this the version of the 'truth' you heard? Is it really the case?"

"What do you mean? Isn't it..." Shi Xuanling was caught off guard. She never expected Feng Shuxing to ask her back like this. She suddenly thought of something, took a breath of cold air, and her face suddenly changed -

"Are you saying Feng Qiyun is lying?"
