The Arch-Enemy Must Not Become a Wife

Chapter 304: Chapter 157: Severing Love (Part 3)

In the early years when Chu Xuan was within the Dao Palace, she simply didn’t want to take the risk to probe, not that she couldn’t do it.

For instance, when Chu Xuan was inside the Ancestral Hall talking to Fuyun Zi, if Ji Mingyu dared to activate the bracelet to send back images, the portraits of the ancestors would immediately detect it, causing trouble.

Even when Chu Xuan left the Li’an Demon Sect, Ming Yu immediately made the bracelet fall silent upon seeing him take out a portrait, waiting a long time before daring to reactivate it.

Now, even though the bracelet is no longer with Chu Xuan, it doesn’t mean Ji Mingyu immediately becomes blind.

After all, she is a near-immortal level existence; it’s just that observing Chu Xuan in the future won’t be as convenient.

First of all, Ming Yu can no longer sit high above in Langhuan Grotto Heaven, watching Chu Xuan no matter where he runs off to.

In the future, the distance between her and Chu Xuan cannot exceed three thousand miles, otherwise the farther the distance, the blurrier the image, until it completely disappears.

Secondly, she would be affected by various arrays or special environments.

For example, if Chu Xuan enters the Ruo Wood Secret Realm again, if Ji Mingyu doesn’t first think of a way to channel power into the Secret Realm, she wouldn’t see anything.

Finally, now Ming Yu is with Chu Xuan, so observing him naturally poses no obstacle, but if one day she loses track of Chu Xuan, with no bracelet to locate him and unable to calculate his position, she’d truly be like a blind person.

Upon hearing Xiao Xue’s words, Ming Yu’s originally indifferent face finally revealed a trace of confusion: "What else can I do?"

"He hates me to the extreme now. If I go to him, it will only annoy him further."

She showed a hopeful expression, "Why don’t you go and tell him I didn’t mean to harm him and that I can compensate him tenfold, a hundredfold in the future."

Xiao Xue shook her head with distress, "This time is different from last time. Last time, Chu Xuan actually still held a thread of hope for the master, so my persuasion had some effect."

"But this time, Chu Xuan is truly heartbroken. If I go, he won’t see me, and he’d dislike the master even more."

"What should we do then?" Ming Yu bit her lip, a bit of remorse in her eyes.

Xiao Xue pondered for a moment and suddenly said, "Where are Qingqing and Gu Haitang? They must want to see Chu Xuan again and reconcile, right?"

"Why not see what they do so we can gauge the situation?"

Ji Mingyu really didn’t have much hope for these two fools, but since she couldn’t think of a better solution, she nodded reluctantly, "Let’s see what happens first."

"They will probably come looking for Chu Xuan within a few days."

Xiao Xue muttered to herself, "Better be quick. Chu Xuan seems to have realized something, and if he truly stops loving from now on..."

To Ming Yu, if Chu Xuan locks his heart and stops loving, she would certainly be very upset, fearing that she may never reconcile with him again.

But she was even more afraid that Chu Xuan’s nature would relapse, having affairs left and right and abandoning her forever. Fortunately, there was no such sign yet, so it was best to wait and see.

...

"Where is Chu Xuan? I want to find him!"

A day ago, on the broad back of the Underworld Abyss Feathered Serpent.

Originally, Yao Yufei had already set on the homeward path with her daughter, but when Qingqing woke up, she kept fussing, so much so that Yao Yufei was furious enough to want to tie her up and give her a beating.

"Aren’t you satisfied yet? I’ve already accommodated you enough. When Chu Xuan rejected you, I should’ve taken you back to the mountain immediately."

"But you insisted on having me investigate Gu Haitang’s background. Fine, I mobilized our sect’s entire resources to help you."

"In the end, you wanted to crash the wedding. I explained the pros and cons and the risks involved, yet you still insisted."

"You said no matter what happens this time, you would obediently come home and fulfill your duties as the Saintess."

"Now, the wedding has been disrupted by you! You’ve offended many people for no reason, and you’re still not satisfied? You’re still causing trouble?!"

It’s undeniable that Yao Yufei’s barrage of criticism left Qingqing speechless. She wasn’t in the right, but she still couldn’t give up.

In her weakened state, Qingqing had no choice but to change her demeanor, with tears in her eyes and a choked voice as she held onto her mother’s hand:

"Mother, you saw it too. Before I collapsed, Chu Xuan rushed to catch me with his Divine Techniques, fearing I would fall. He clearly still loves me."

"I know I made mistakes, but the reason Chu Xuan was so resolute last time is at least half because of Gu Haitang. He couldn’t wrong his fiancée."

"Now that the wedding can’t proceed, Chu Xuan understands Gu Haitang isn’t a good person. If I properly apologize and promise to trust him from now on, he’ll definitely forgive me and reconcile as before."

Yao Yufei, however, wasn’t so easily swayed and coldly replied, "What good is pleading with me? Don’t forget, I’m the one who personally broke you two up."

"From the beginning, I didn’t think your union would lead to any good."

"And do you really believe it would be so easy for Chu Xuan to have a change of heart?"

"In my view, if you go back again, he’ll just reject you once more. Then you’ll just hide in your room all day, neglecting your cultivation and the sect’s responsibilities, won’t that be a waste?"

Qingqing retorted angrily, "Don’t say nonsense!"

"You just want to stop me from being with Chu Xuan."

Seeing her defiant look, Yao Yufei coldly continued, "Don’t think I don’t know what you’re up to. Using reverse psychology, are you?"

"Then I’ll wager with you. If Chu Xuan forgives you this time, I’ll let you go."

"But if he doesn’t, you must come back with me. If you disobey, I’ll use other means. Don’t think I’m actually so soft-hearted."

Qingqing nodded through gritted teeth, but her heart was in turmoil because she knew her mother was very perceptive. Last time, when she went to see Chu Xuan, her mother predicted it perfectly.
