87: Chapter 87 Jiang Yufeng's Fate

"Yu Yan is my younger sister."

Hearing Jiang Yu Feng's words, Su Ying was a bit dazed.

She had only been joking just now, but she didn't expect the joke to actually come true!

Soon after, seeing Meng Li's calm expression, she couldn't help but feel curious: "Young Master Meng, did you know all along?"

Meng Li nodded and spoke truthfully: "My main purpose for coming out this time was to accompany Yu Yan and her mother—my mother-in-law, the one who brought you here just now—to the Jiang Manor to acknowledge their kin. However, due to some reasons, things didn't end very pleasantly."

"But that's in the past; there's no use saying more."

"But speaking of which, what happened with you two yesterday?"

Su Ying replied: "After I left the scene of the Poison King Heroes Gathering last night, I planned to return directly to the Inn where I was staying."

"Halfway there, I ran into Yu Feng."

"We got along well after meeting last time and became friends. Seeing her in trouble, I naturally couldn't stand by and watch. I planned to help her remove the toxins. Unexpectedly, before I could start the detoxification, we were pursued by those people from the Jiang Manor."

"As for why Yu Feng was being hunted by them, you'll have to ask her."

Having finished, she looked toward Jiang Yu Feng.

Meng Li did the same.

Seeing this, Jiang Yu Feng's face showed hesitation and struggle.

Meng Li sighed: "If you're unwilling or it's inconvenient to say, then forget it. I'm just curious. Since your father transferred the toxins to you, why would he also hunt you down?"

"Her father?!" Su Ying was shocked.

Based on the conditions of Blood-Passing Massage, she knew the transferor was a relative of Jiang Yu Feng, but she didn't know Jiang Yu Feng's family situation and didn't find it convenient to ask afterward, so she didn't know the transferor was her father. At the same time, lacking the interactions from the original plot, she did not currently know Jiang Biehe.

Jiang Yu Feng was also somewhat surprised: "How did you know it was my father?"

The pursuit could be attributed to Jiang Biehe being present yesterday and being seen.

But she hadn't mentioned the matter of transferring the toxins.

It was impossible for Jiang Biehe to broadcast it everywhere.

How did Meng Li know?

Meng Li lowered his eyes slightly: "Because Jiang Biehe had designs on Yu Yan before, wanting to transfer the toxins to her, and even specially set up a Hongmen Banquet for that purpose. However, I was one step ahead, and he didn't succeed. At that time, I asked him why he didn't transfer the toxins to you."

"Because by comparison, Yu Yan had me by her side and didn't trust him, making it much harder for him to succeed."

"He said you had already returned to Mount Emei, so there wasn't enough time."

"That explanation was reasonable, so I didn't doubt it."

"Afterward, seeing that he wouldn't live more than three days, I spared his life for the sake of Yu Yan and my mother-in-law."

Only then did Jiang Yu Feng learn about this sequence of events, and the emotions in her eyes couldn't help but become complicated.

Su Ying felt as if her perceptions had suffered a major shock.

She had heard of Jiang Biehe's reputation as being unmatched in benevolence and righteousness; she hadn't expected that in private, he was no different from those who practiced evil arts.

He clearly committed the sin himself, yet he forced the consequences onto his own biological daughter.

Meng Li continued: "It seems now that he treated Yu Yan as his first choice and you as his backup."

"However, since he already transferred the toxins to you, you would forget what happened at the time due to the influence of the transfer method, so you wouldn't know it was him. After seeing your disfigurement, if he didn't say anything, you would at most think you had contracted a strange illness."

"Reasonably speaking, this shouldn't have hindered him in any way, so why would he hunt you down?"

Just after speaking, he sensed several people approaching, so he raised his hand to signal, wanting to stop the conversation.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Yu Feng closed her eyes and said excitedly: "The Liu Ren Divine Dice! Everything is because of the Liu Ren Divine Dice!"

As soon as she said this, the door was pushed open with a loud bang.

Immediately after, an older woman wearing a black and red cloak, with a face as white as powder, dark circles under her eyes, and hair like a bird's nest, barged in frantically.

She stared fixedly at Jiang Yu Feng and said through gritted teeth: "You said the Liu Ren Divine Dice? Where is the Liu Ren Divine Dice!"

Seeing this, Meng Li was greatly surprised.

He recognized the somewhat terrifying older woman before him; she was Tu Jiaojiao, ranked second among the Five Great Villains of Demon Island.

But how did she get here?

Soon after, several more people walked in.

Jiang Yuyan, Xiao Baiyan, Xiao Yuer, E Tongtian, and—Mu Rong Xian!

Seeing that the situation wasn't right, Jiang Yuyan quietly closed the door.

Jiang Yu Feng was startled by the people who had suddenly barged in.

Especially Tu Jiaojiao, whose makeup was already a bit frightening, and whose expression now looked as if she wanted to devour someone, making her exceptionally hideous and terrifying.

Even Su Ying couldn't help but shrink back a little.

Noticing this, Xiao Yuer quickly stepped into the middle to ease the atmosphere: "Second Mother, you're scaring Miss Yu Feng and Dr. Su looking like that; tone it down. We've heard the news, and the person is right here, she won't run away. Let's sit down and ask slowly."

As he spoke, he patted Tu Jiaojiao on the back while saying to Jiang Yu Feng and Su Ying: "Sorry about that, you two."

"This is my Second Mother. The Liu Ren Divine Dice is related to a blood feud of hers, so it's only natural she'd be excited upon hearing the news."

"And Brother Meng, we barged in without greeting you."

"My apologies, my apologies, my apologies!"

Mu Rong Xian also added: "That's right, Second Mother only looks a bit fierce, but she's actually a very good person. She was just a bit excited just now, I hope you won't blame her."

Only then did Su Ying and Jiang Yu Feng understand.

Tu Jiaojiao also suppressed her emotions, softened her expression, and then asked Jiang Yu Feng: "Young lady, what was that you just said about the Liu Ren Divine Dice?"

Seeing that things had come to this point, Jiang Yu Feng no longer hid anything. With tears in her eyes, she said: "It's my father. I don't know where he got the Liu Ren Divine Dice from. After the three of you left last time, Young Master Meng, I accidentally stumbled upon this."

"At that time, I didn't know it was the Liu Ren Divine Dice; I only thought it was a Stereoscopic Magic Cube, so I helped him open it."

"As a result, to prevent the matter from leaking out while he secretly practiced the Martial Arts within it, he locked me and my mother in a secret room in the study."

"Later, for some unknown reason, he suffered a Qi Deviation while practicing, which disfigured him and put his life in danger."

"In order to transfer the toxins, he came to the secret room and said he wanted to pass his Martial Arts to me, telling me not to resist."

"My mother and I both saw that something was wrong, so naturally, we wouldn't agree."

"Seeing that deception failed, he tried to force the toxin transfer. My mother tried to stop him but was beaten to death on the spot. Afterward, he crippled my Martial Arts and forcibly transferred the toxins to me. Affected by the transfer method, I fainted instantly."

"For some unknown reason, he sent me back to my room."

"When I woke up later, I had forgotten what happened then. Seeing my disfigurement, I only thought I had contracted a strange illness."

"I knew Su Ying's medical skills were superb, and I didn't want more people to know about my disfigurement, so I secretly left the manor to find her for treatment."

"Unexpectedly, I ran into my father halfway, and then he led people to hunt me down."

"At first, I didn't know he wanted to kill me; I just didn't want the disfigurement to be exposed and instinctively felt fear, wanting to stay away from him, which is why I ran. Later, Su Ying and I met Young Master Meng and escaped that ordeal."

"Once Su Ying forced out the toxins and removed the influence for me, I remembered the things I had forgotten and finally understood."

"He's hunting me because he's likely afraid I'll spread the word about him obtaining the Liu Ren Divine Dice."
