Rebirth: A Cinderella's Counterattack

Chapter 1634: Chapter 1614: Wanting to Leave

”You all go ahead first; let me spend some time with your uncle.” Yang Feng slowly waved his hand at the group, signaling them to disperse.

After exchanging glances, Wang Mazi and the others left. Yang Feng’s strength did not require their unnecessary concern; it was time to leave him alone to bid farewell to the person before him. After all, in life, many things don’t go as desired, and there’s little one can say to others about it.

After the seven left, Luo Qianqian silently looked at Mo, who nodded and pulled her along to leave as well.

They were worried about something happening, which was why they came, not to delve into any secrets. There was no need to wait here.

After everyone left, Yang Feng glanced in the direction Luo Qianqian had left, but said nothing. He took out a knife from his chest and then a wooden hairpin that looked very rough.

Calmly grasping his long beard, he meticulously trimmed it. Then, he let down his long hair, which had always been messily tied up, and took out a wooden comb, brushing it while humming a tune.

Soon, he tidied his hair and picked up the wooden hairpin, though crude in line, well-preserved over the years, its sheen showed it was made of good wood initially.

Then he slowly removed the wrinkled clothes he was wearing and put on a meticulous white garment.

Next, he took out a red outfit, which also appeared crystal-clear and glossy under the moonlight.

He slowly dressed the corpse in front of him, a broken white skeleton that still managed to fit perfectly in the red outfit, surprisingly.

”Senior brother, you said I look best in white, but how could you know that only your white attire floats like a celestial? I know this can’t replicate your feel, but you liked it, so I’ll wear it for you to see.” Yang Feng quietly lay next to the corpse, looking up at the sky full of stars. ”Senior brother... If only you were still here.”

I suppose this red outfit suits you better?

If only it had been given to you earlier, I wouldn’t have to see this now.

Yang Feng gazed at the stars, tears streaming down uncontrollably. For years he had withheld his emotions, but now, he realized he lost control.

The skeleton before him was his weakness, an unreconciled soft spot.

What should he do?

...

The seven who had already left returned to the small courtyard, needing to provide Nine Heavens Pavilion with an explanation for their hasty departure.

They happened to run into Luo Qianqian and Mo returning from outside, instantly creating an awkward atmosphere.

”...You guys have finished your tasks.” Luo Qianqian scratched her head, feeling embarrassed to admit she had been following others, yet it was clear now...

”Sorry to have worried you.” Seeing their expressions, Wang Mazi and his group guessed some things and then forced a smile. ”Can we come in?”

”Ah, please come in.” Luo Qianqian awkwardly climbed over the wall into the courtyard, having been caught tracking someone was always somewhat embarrassing.

The seven stood silently in the courtyard, unsure of what to say.

Besides this place, for the time being, they didn’t know where else to go. Suddenly, they found they had no sense of belonging.

”Have some tea.” He Wenyu also served refreshments and tea, but no one touched them.

Though unaware of the happenings, he sensed the oppressive spirit among them, frowning slightly.

”Are you all okay in the Mountain and River Map? No accidents? I vaguely recall some fireworks.” Wang Mazi forced a smile, awkwardly trying to start a conversation, since just standing here in silence wouldn’t work.

”Mm, we’re okay, made it out unscathed.” Luo Qianqian nodded without much explanation.

Wang Mazi heard the noises, realized they were in danger but didn’t intervene as something more important happened.

It seemed connected to Yang Feng’s generation; as outsiders, it wasn’t appropriate to ask further.

”That’s good...” Wang Mazi hesitated again, uncertain of what more to say.

Everyone had concerns, no way to let go?

”Sigh...”

A sigh broke the silence, followed by a knowing smile exchanged amongst them.

”Are you not participating in the upcoming tournament?” Wang Mazi looked at the pile of stuff in the yard, clearly ingredients Bai Yinshu was organizing.

Luo Qianqian paused, glancing at Wang Mazi’s direction, and after a moment, nodded, ”Yes, lacking the ability, better not embarrass ourselves, the Top Ten Sects are beyond our reach.” With that, self-mocking she smiled, nearly defiled by people from Fire Cloud Sect, such memories can’t be easily set aside.

Besides, she knew clearly, Fire Cloud Sect was not Blessed Land Cave Heaven, even using all her cards, she couldn’t win, exposing Big Black and Xiao Hei and getting recognized would also be troublesome.

Sometimes she missed the student days; back then, apart from studying, only the joys and sorrows between friends mattered, nothing else. Now...

Ha...

”And what about you?” Luo Qianqian naturally looked at Wang Mazi.

”We should be leaving too, although where to is unknown.” Wang Mazi forced a smile he couldn’t seem to manage, his lips forming a straight line. Perhaps aside from the power struggles, today’s events were something he couldn’t let go of for life.

Plots and schemes unknown when those around might harbor jealousy and hatred, plotting against your life.

The thought brought inevitable sadness.

If only the teacher’s senior brother had known those people bore ill will, would he still be here?

If he’d been more cautious with ’his own,’ would he have fallen so early in that space, trapped forever...?

If he hadn’t such enviable talent, would he still be here enjoying the moon with the teacher now?

However, in this world, there’s never an ”if.”

”Ugh...” Luo Qianqian was momentarily left uncertain how to console Wang Mazi.

His face’s sorrow was too evident, leaving her at a loss.

After all, those around her only showed anger, never allowing their emotions on the surface.

”We might leave once the Ten Thousand Sect safely returns.” Luo Qianqian did not hide her concern, although Shui Yuntian is out, Huangfu Ze remains in the Mountain and River Map, if something happens, she’s afraid she can’t handle it.

Against this person, they are currently powerless.

Hearing Ten Thousand Sect, the Huangfu brothers were angry but helpless.

Even though their abilities and talents were outstanding in the Royal Family, now even Huangfu Huang’s strength rivaled theirs, not to mention that genius Huangfu Ze, always overshadowing them.
