Chapter 54: Could He Tell the Truth?

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Yu Mingye was going to scoop Feng Wu up after she dove in.
But Feng Xun was on a rampage!
He ran into the river and charged at Yu Mingye, splashing water all over the latter’s face as he did so!
Yu Mingye’s vision was already blurred from the swelling and the water only made his eyes worse.
He had a chance to grab Feng Wu, but lost it completely at Feng Xun’s interruption.
Yu Mingye was furious!
But that wasn’t the worst of all!
Feng Xun grabbed him by the neck and said through his gritted teeth, “Yu Mingye, you bastard! What did Xiaowu ever do to you? You killed her! I’m going to kill you!”
Without another word, Feng Xun raised his fist and punched Yu Mingye in the nose!
Thump!
Poor Yu Mingye. How much had he suffered because of Feng Wu? His feet were bleeding, his eyes hurt, and he had sustained an internal injury… so much so that he couldn’t dodge the incoming fist, and it landed right on the bridge of his prominent nose.
As for the head of the elders, he wanted to help his young master, but was stopped by Jun Linyuan.
Yu Mingye cursed loudly in his head!
He could live with the fact that he had been tricked by that ugly girl, but that bastard Feng Xun had accused him of killing her? The girl escaped of her own free will, okay?
But, could Yu Mingye reveal the truth?
No!
Because he would rather die than have another soul know how hopelessly he had been fooled! His male pride was at risk!
Hence, Yu Mingye returned Feng Xun’s blow.
“How dare you hit me?!”
“You killed Xiaowu! Die!”
Thump! Thump! Thump!
Feng Xun wasn’t Yu Mingye’s match, but the latter was greatly weakened after Feng Wu’s successive traps, and the two guys ended up fighting to a draw.
In the end, Jun Linyuan’s angry rebuke stopped them. “Enough!”
Everyone stopped what they were doing instantly and backed away to their own teams.
It was now Jun Linyuan’s team vs Yu Mingye’s.
Once Feng Xun got Yu Mingye off his back, he ran into the river immediately, but… Feng Wu was long gone, leaving no trace behind at all. Tears welled up in Feng Xun’s eyes.
Yu Mingye’s eyes were much better now and he snorted at the look on Feng Xun’s face.
At that moment, Jun Linyuan knitted his nice thick eyebrows, the look in his eyes brooding…
Yu Mingye gave him a half-smile. “Your Royal Highness, did you only now realize there’s something wrong with your Immortal Spiritual Fruit? Tsk, tsk, tsk. You’re slipping.”
Jun Linyuan narrowed his eyes.
Since the fruit was kept in a white jade box, Jun Linyuan indeed hadn’t found anything wrong with it until just then, when Feng Wu disappeared in the river… Something struck him as odd and he examined the fruit. He then found out what wasn’t right.
Seeing Jun Linyuan’s livid face, Feng Xun asked, “Boss Jun, what’s wrong? Wasn’t the fruit with you the whole time? What could possibly happen?”
“That’s a very good question, hahaha —” After all the grievances he had suffered at Feng Wu’s hands, Yu Mingye was greatly satisfied at Feng Xun’s words. Resting his hands on his waist, he darted a gloating look at Jun Linyuan. “Aren’t you supposed to be the omnipotent crown prince? How could anything happen to that fruit when it’s under your guard? Hahaha —”
Jun Linyuan’s face turned grimmer.
“Boss Jun?” Feng Xun was surprised.
