Zhao Yuwei was injured
Upon hearing that Xiao Feng would treat her own maid so ruthlessly just because Zhao Yuwei had suffered a slight grievance, Su Xueqing felt a surge of anger.
"What do you mean by that? She was only speaking up for me. Don't forget your status. If she had truly raised a hand to injure your Senior Sister Zhao, I would naturally hand her over."
"But she only said a few things. I won't give her to you. If you want to vent your anger for your Senior Sister Zhao, then just attack me instead!"
Seeing Su Xueqing's attitude, the anger in Xiao Feng's heart surged even more violently.
The image of Zhao Yuwei, aggrieved and silent, seemed to flash before Xiao Feng's eyes.
Xiao Feng gathered spiritual power in his palm, but in the end, he did not strike Su Xueqing.
He turned and left Su Xueqing's courtyard directly.
Before stepping out of the courtyard gate, he looked back at the pouting and clearly unhappy Su Xueqing and said, "Since the people in the Ming Cult do not welcome Senior Sister and me living here, I intend to take her to live outside and travel around for a while, which will help cheer her up."
After saying this, Xiao Feng prepared to find Wu Hai and Su Mo to bid them farewell.
Su Xueqing, who had been aggrieved, quickened her pace to catch up and blocked Xiao Feng, asking in disbelief, "You're leaving? Just because Zhao Yuwei was told a few snide remarks?"
"For such a small matter, can I go and apologize to her personally? If that's not enough, just have her stab me with a sword to let her vent her anger. You make it sound as if everyone is bullying her!"
Hearing Su Xueqing's unreasonable words, Xiao Feng's expression darkened further. He raised his hand to brush her aside and said, "It is I who wants to leave this place. I do not want to continue living in the Ming Cult. Is that allowed?"
The jealousy and anger that had been suppressed in Su Xueqing's heart surged even faster.
She did not feel that there was anything wrong with how she had handled the situation.
Yuan Ruo was her personal maid who had accompanied her since childhood, and everything she did was for her own sake.
Su Xueqing also knew that Yuan Ruo would not harm Zhao Yuwei; at most, she had only said some unpleasant things.
At worst, she would just reprimand her and have Yuan Ruo apologize to Zhao Yuwei, and the matter would be over.
She had not expected Zhao Yuwei to be so unrelenting and even make Xiao Feng leave the Ming Cult with her.
It was obvious that Zhao Yuwei was taking advantage of the fact that Xiao Feng cared more about her to deliberately embarrass her.
"Stop right there! Xiao Feng, if I say that I don't want you to live outside and I want you to stay with me, what will you choose?" Su Xueqing stared fixedly at Xiao Feng.
Xiao Feng replied without hesitation, "Before you have properly disciplined your maid, I would feel more at ease living away from the Ming Cult."
"A mere maid dares to point fingers at my affairs—how many heads does she have? Or does she think that just because she is your maid, I wouldn't dare touch her?"
"If I hear her speak ill of Senior Sister again, I will definitely cut off her head! You wouldn't want your maid to die at my hands, so me moving out is the most appropriate course of action!"
After saying this, Xiao Feng flew away.
Su Xueqing followed closely behind. Xiao Feng, pushed to his limits by Su Xueqing, didn't even intend to say goodbye to Wu Hai and Su Mo anymore and flew directly down the mountain.
Seeing that Xiao Feng was serious, Su Xueqing moved even faster, directly reaching out to intercept him.
"Xiao Feng, so between me and Zhao Yuwei, you still think she is more important than me? For her sake, even if I am wronged, you won't care, is that it?"
Hearing Su Xueqing ask such a meaningless question again, Xiao Feng couldn't even be bothered to answer.
"If you insist on comparing us and deciding who is more important, then believe whatever you want. I only hope that you can coexist peacefully."
"I only hope that the people under you can respect my partner. Senior Sister is my woman; if she does not respect Senior Sister, she does not respect me."
"For a servant who does not respect me, killing her would be effortless. If you can coexist peacefully, I will naturally treat you both the same; otherwise, I have my own judgment!"
After saying this, Xiao Feng's figure instantly vanished into the night, clearly not wanting Su Xueqing to follow him any further.
Facing the man's icy attitude, Su Xueqing's eyes were filled with pain.
Everything Xiao Feng just said was nonsense!
It was merely to appease her!
She simply did not believe that Xiao Feng would treat both of them equally well.
Isn't Xiao Feng abandoning her right now for the sake of Zhao Yuwei?
And wasn't that the reason Yuan Ruo tried every possible method to make Zhao Yuwei leave the Ming Cult, because Xiao Feng cared more about her?
It was clearly Xiao Feng who failed to keep his promise first, yet he turned around to blame her.
Su Xueqing had indeed resented Yuan Ruo for acting on her own initiative before.
But now, Su Xueqing wished that Yuan Ruo could actually help her get rid of Zhao Yuwei.
If she could not have Xiao Feng, she would naturally not let any other woman have him either.
However, Su Xueqing did not know at this moment that Yuan Ruo had actually almost helped her fulfill her wish.
Xiao Feng was worried that Zhao Yuwei would be anxious if she woke up in the middle of the night and didn't see him.
After parting ways with Su Xueqing, he sped up and returned to the inn.
However, before he could even enter the room, he smelled a thick stench of blood coming from their quarters.
Xiao Feng's brows were icy cold. After entering the room, he discovered clear signs of a struggle.
Zhao Yuwei had already passed out and lay on the floor, with a large pool of blood beneath her.
Xiao Feng quickly stepped forward to check on her and took hold of Zhao Yuwei's pulse.
Zhao Yuwei's current condition was extremely dire; not only was she severely injured, but she was now showing signs of Qi Deviation.
Seeing the critical situation, Xiao Feng had no choice but to quickly pick up Zhao Yuwei and place her on the bed.
He let Zhao Yuwei lean against his chest, then took out a Medicinal Pill and fed it to her, using his own spiritual power to help her dissolve the medicinal efficacy within her body.
Xiao Feng took out the Medicinal Pill most suitable for Zhao Yuwei's condition based on her pulse.
He then produced an ointment for external application, removed Zhao Yuwei's outer clothing, and applied the ointment evenly onto her wounds.
The combination of internal and external treatment was highly effective, and the wounds on Zhao Yuwei's body began to heal faster.
Zhao Yuwei's breathing also slowly stabilized, but what was even more troublesome was that she was showing signs of Qi Deviation.
Because one of Zhao Yuwei's wounds was near her Dantian, it had almost pierced through it.
The attacker seemed to have used an extremely special poison, intending to reverse the flow of Zhao Yuwei's Meridians.
If not for Xiao Feng returning in time, and if not for the fact that he happened to have the antidote for this type of poison, Zhao Yuwei would inevitably have suffered from Qi Deviation and fallen into becoming a demonic cultivator.
Xiao Feng went to great lengths, and it was not until the next morning that he finally managed to save Zhao Yuwei.
The moment Zhao Yuwei opened her eyes, the heart that had been hanging in Xiao Feng's throat finally settled back down.
"Senior Sister, is there anywhere else you are feeling uncomfortable? It's my fault. I shouldn't have left in the middle of the night; it was I who failed to protect you."
Xiao Feng's words were filled with guilt.
However, after blinking her eyes, Zhao Yuwei sat up and threw herself into Xiao Feng's arms, her tears quickly soaking his lapels.
