Grudge Breaker

Chapter 317 Unexpected
A woman’s sixth sense is the most accurate metaphysics in the world.

Song Weichen's sixth sense told her that Gu Cangyue had not really forgotten the past. On the contrary, it was because she remembered it so well that she subconsciously mentioned "Fanlou" - the thrilling place where she almost lost her virginity and her life during her brief amnesia.

But why did he seem to hate her so much?

He hurt her ruthlessly in the garden and targeted her at the banquet.
Could it be that because she and Mo Tingfeng had already established a romantic relationship, Da Niao, her "ex-boyfriend", turned love into hate?

No, it's impossible.

Gu Cangyue is definitely not such a shallow and narrow-minded person, he must have other hidden motives.

……

"Your name is Sang Pu, right?"

Seeing Song Weichen staring at him without blinking, Gu Cangyue sneered, his eyes full of disdain, and his words were full of frivolity.

"Please take back your seductive look. What? Do you think you can seduce me with your looks?"

Song Weichen was stunned and lowered his head.

Even though I had thought of a thousand excuses and reasons for his unusual behavior tonight, I was still quite upset when I heard him say this about myself.

"Haha, it's said that Master Cang Yue loves cleanliness, but he always embarrasses me."

Song Weichen couldn't help but start teasing him.

"You have such a poisonous mouth, did you exchange teeth with a cobra?"

……

"you!!"

Gu Cangyue was choked by her sudden "counterattack" and was speechless, raising his hand high as if to slap her.

Song Weichen was not afraid either. She raised her face towards his palm and glared back at him with her almond-shaped eyes. She wanted to see if he could really do it in front of so many people.

The situation fell into a strange stalemate.
.
In fact, if Gu Cangyue hadn't shown up unexpectedly, she would have had a very good chat with the territory master and even obtained something extremely valuable.

Different from the time when he met the emperor in white robe, Qin Huan was obviously much more friendly and fond of "Sang Pu".

Moreover, he did not ask about her origin and birth, as well as her relationship with Mo Tingfeng, which were trivial topics. The content of Qin Huan's conversation was unexpectedly nutritious - interesting things in the market, secrets of the upper realm, strange people and unusual sights... He knew all kinds of things about the upper realm like the back of his hand. Song Weichen was fascinated by what he heard, and for the first time he felt that "realm master" was no longer a position, but a flesh-and-blood, approachable person.

His tense mood relaxed for a moment, and Song Weichen also regained some of his usual immature spirit.

Hearing Qin Huan say that he had devoted his life and soul to the people of Meijie, she quickly waved her hand and put her index finger in front of her lips to make a shushing gesture.

"Chairman Qin, this word is not popular nowadays! Where I come from, except for those people in Myawaddy, no one else will be willing to give their heart and soul to others..."

The Lord of the Territory was confused by her words, but he inexplicably felt that she was very contagious. He nodded unconsciously and he really listened to her.

"Okay, I'll listen to you. I won't say any more. Miss Sangpu, what's the name of the riddle-like game you just mentioned? I'm not satisfied yet."

The Lord of the Territory was talking about a brain teaser, but Song Weichen's version might have been taught by Wang Jianguo. It was so cold that ice chips were falling off. The three-foot-thick ice does not form overnight.

It seemed that the territory master wanted to play more. She rolled her eyes and saw the wine bottle on the table. She thought of another one.
"Why do people feel that others become shorter when they are drunk?"

Qin Huan was stunned, and subconsciously picked up the bottle and drank it all, smacking his lips and muttering,
"Why?"

"Because I was drunk."

"Pfft hahaha!"

Qin Huan laughed loudly, it seemed like he hadn't been so happy for a long time.

"Come again!"

"Okay! Chairman Qin, please go ahead. Question: Why can't sheep sleep at night after being shaved?"

"...?"

"Because it's lost its cotton."

"Hahahaha! Come again!"

Song Weichen scratched his head. Tsk, the territory master is really addicted. What else...

"Oh, by the way, guess why girls who love to laugh tend to have good figures?"

She was having a great time and didn't notice at all that Qin Huan's eyes swept over her several times intentionally or unintentionally because of this question.

"Why is this? Miss Sangpu, I can't guess, please enlighten me."

"Because the joy is so great that it raises the cup!"

Qin Huan burst into laughter again and couldn't help but grab Song Weichen's hand and pat it gently - he was restrained, with only kindness and no frivolous intentions.

"Miss Sangpu is not only beautiful and charming, but also has a great musical talent. She is also very smart and likable. It is very interesting to listen to you talk."

"No, no, no, please don't praise me like that. Think about Bigan. Those who have a cunning mind never have a good ending."

Song Weichen waved his hands quickly.
"My greatest strength is that I don't have any 'class flavor'. I'm just a fresh guy among the cows and horses."

……

The smile on the territory master's face was not fake, he really liked Song Weichen. This little girl was so lively, her mouth was full of words he had never heard of, and she often made him laugh.

Being with her reminded Qin Huan of the time when he was also well-dressed and well-fed, and how he and his first wife also had endless things to talk about, which made him very happy.

With a thought, Qin Huan turned her hand over, gently held her palm and performed a spell. Song Weichen felt her palm getting hot, as if something had seeped into it, and she was so scared that she immediately pulled her hand away.

After checking it carefully, the palm of my hand was found to be as white as before, with nothing unusual.

Seeing her panic, Qin Huan smiled and leaned in to whisper,

"I heard that you got lost in the garden just now, and luckily Lord Ji brought you back. To prevent you from getting hurt, I will give you a gift."

"This is the North Star Seven Star Talisman. If you come here again in the future and accidentally enter the strange formation in the palace, just follow the direction of the star that lights up in the Seven Star Talisman in your hand. No matter which mechanism or formation it is, you can get out safely."

"Really?!"

“Isn’t this a proper satellite navigation?”

Song Weichen was overjoyed, his eyes lit up with stars. This night was a blessing in disguise. With this treasure, maybe it could help Bingtuozi at a critical moment! ...

Song Weichen and the territory master were chatting and laughing, and did not notice that Gu Cangyue, who was dozing off with his eyes closed at the next table, had his brows furrowed more and more. His hands hidden in his sleeves were so tense that the knuckles turned white from clenching his fists too tightly. Finally, he could no longer bear it, and the scene just now happened.
.
Qin Huan was extremely fond of Song Weichen at the moment, so how could he bear to see Gu Cangyue "bullying" her in front of him, so he naturally reached out to stop her.

"You are such a noble man, why would you bother to be so serious with a little girl? Come, have a drink!"

"Miss Sangpu also drinks, give her good wine."

Qin Huan wanted to save the situation, so he picked up the wine jar and suggested that everyone at the table drink to ease the atmosphere. However, he saw Gu Cangyue unceremoniously take the pot of Wunian water in a finely carved jade bottle that he had specially given to Song Weichen and brought it in front of him. With a wave of his slender fingers, a wine jar appeared out of thin air in his hand.

Gu Cangyue glanced at Song Weichen indifferently.
"clumsy."

Knowing that he wanted her to pour wine for him, Song Weichen was originally afraid that she had to drink the wine given by the territory master. If she really drank it, she was afraid that the mark of her past life caused by Sang Pu would flare up again. The stomachache would be like sulfuric acid corrosion. She felt a chill down her spine just thinking about it.

Gu Cangyue's action allowed her to escape the "wine robbery" with a legitimate reason.

How weird... He was clearly saying the most vicious words, but his actions seemed to be helping her out intentionally or unintentionally. What was this big bird up to?

Song Weichen was suspicious in his heart, but he did not show anything on his face at the moment. He just obediently picked up the jade bottle, filled a cup, and presented it respectfully.

"I was rude and reckless just now. I hope you will forgive me, Master Zhenjun."

Gu Cangyue snorted coldly, picked up the wine bottle and drank it all, then threw the bottle in front of Song Weichen. She then filled it up again and carefully presented it to him. This went on for a while, and the pot of wine was soon empty.

Not only did he drink up the wine that he had given to Song Weichen as a reward, but he also ignored the wine bottle that Qin Huan was holding and just drank by himself. The Lord of the Territory was embarrassed. After all, this was the Lord of the Territory's Mansion, and he was the King of the Mei Realm!
"It seems that Master Cangyue really likes this wine. I will ask my servants to take some back to the mansion with Master Cangyue."

Gu Cangyue raised an eyebrow when he heard this.

"Is the territory master going to send the guests away?"

He glanced at Song Weichen again.

"Just for her?"

"Tsk, since when did the great Lord of the Territory start to care about these mortal lowly people?"

He threw away the wine bottle, leaned over and pinched Song Weichen's chin, his eyes were hooked, but full of frivolous intent.

"Aren't you the concubine of that guy named Mo? Are you relying on your own good looks to take advantage of his absence to climb up to Qin Huan's high position?"

"Lord Territory Master, these are the leftovers from others... Heh, you really are not picky."

……

"True Lord, be careful with your words!"

At this point, Qin Xueying, who was sitting at the side seat, couldn't bear it any longer. She stood up and stepped forward to rescue Song Weichen from Gu Cangyue's grip. She also sat between the two of them, as if intending to protect Song Weichen.

"Father only has mother in his heart. He has never remarried since she passed away. It is inappropriate for Master Cangyue to blaspheme father's reputation like this!"

"Besides, Lord Si Chen has not yet married, so how can there be any talk of wives and concubines? You are a supreme god, how can you make up such nonsense?"

The sound was neither loud nor soft, but everyone in the hall could hear it clearly.

In just two sentences, the first one was to remind his father to be careful about the limits and to praise his love for his deceased mother to a high level in front of everyone again, so that even if Qin Huan was distracted, he would step off the cliff.

The second sentence was to publicly clear Song Weichen and Mo Tingfeng of their relationship. They might have had a romantic relationship, but so what? After all, they were not "wife or concubine". With just a few words, Song Weichen was treated like a worn-out shoe without leaving any trace.

Moreover, once this action was spread, Qin Xueying would have established herself as a person who was not afraid of the "tyrannical power" of the Supreme God, who rescued a mortal woman out of righteousness, and who protected the reputation of her father and the head of the Sichen Mansion.

Killing many birds with one stone, she is worthy of being the eldest princess.

No matter how carefree Song Weichen was, he understood the meaning of Qin Xueying's words at this moment.

She suddenly had a strange feeling. Could it be that Qin Xueying really had feelings for Bingtuozi?
Although she had already known the reason why Qin Xueying invited Mo Tingfeng to the pavilion for a meeting at night when she was in Si Chen Mansion by borrowing Mo Tingfeng's divine concentration technique - "You give me a step, and I give you a beautiful woman."

Isn't it just a face-saving project after all? Why is it that the words are still ringing in my ears, but they all seem like excuses?

Song Weichen became alert, especially now that Mo Tingfeng was not present. Qin Xueying couldn't unilaterally announce that she was having an affair with Bingtuozi, right?

...so crazy?

Of course, Gu Cangyue is even crazier.

It was not an illusion. His words and deeds were intentionally or unintentionally pushing her towards Mo Tingfeng, as if he was helping the two of them to announce it to the world in order to confirm her relationship with Bingtuozi.

However, how could Big Bird help her to confirm her relationship with another man?

What a mess.

Song Weichen was in a state of confusion, but due to Sang Pu's identity and the occasion, he could only respond to each move as it came and remain unchanged in the face of ever-changing circumstances. All his doubts had to be resolved later.

She decided to go to Cangyue Mansion after the banquet, have a 1v1 with Gu Cangyue, and ask about the matter in person.

……

"Xueying, you must not be rude to the True Lord."

Song Weichen was lost in thought when Qin Huan spoke.

He pretended to stop Qin Xueying's "rude words" and waved for her to sit beside him with a loving look on his face.

"Master Cang Yue was just joking with me, how can you take it seriously?"

"Mr. Yu, my heart is with the people of Meijie. No matter they are immortals or mortals, they are all the same in my eyes, and the same goes for Miss Sangpu."

"Personally, I am old now, and what I am most concerned about right now is Xueying's marriage - this is also a great event that I want to announce to all of you today."

???

What great news does the territory lord want to announce?

Why hasn’t Bingtuozi come back yet?

Song Weichen felt more and more uneasy. She felt like she had accidentally walked into a huge trap, and the hunter was closing in the net.
.
"My daughter Xueying went to stay at Sichen Mansion a few days ago, and her feelings for the head of the mansion, Sima Tingfeng, gradually deepened."

"I have treated Tingfeng like my own son for many years. Now that they are interested in each other and are willing to stay together forever, I am naturally very happy."

"Tingfeng is not in the palace right now because of something else, but you all heard him say before he left, 'Everything will be decided by the Lord of the Territory.'"

"Then I will make the decision to schedule their wedding for this Mid-Autumn Festival, when the flowers are in full bloom and the moon is full, and my beloved is so beautiful!"
