Yuan JingYa

Yuan JingYa was a near-perfect woman—

That was the opinion of nearly every single person who knew her. Regardless of whether it was her beauty, wisdom, way of doing things, or family background, nobody could find a single fault with her.

But it was precisely because of that that the current sect leader of the Qilin clan would pursue her so relentlessly, to the point that he completely ignored his real wife who had accompanied him since they were young.

Reasonably speaking, Yuan JingYa was someone who wasn't willing to become a concubine, even if the Qilin clan was the second biggest clan. After all, Yuan JingYa's mother was also from one of the Ten Great Clans. Because of power and capitulation, it really wasn't that likely. But what made everyone shocked back then was that Yuan JingYa really did delightedly become Qi Yunxiao's concubine. Every time someone saw her, she was smiling, facing off against the ice-cold first wife.

Such a Yuan JingYa, compared to that iceberg beauty, made quite a few people feel sorry and sympathetic for her at first, to the point that the first wife, the so-called most beautiful woman of the southern Ten Great Clans, was also harmed by rumors and even cut off by others.

Indifference was sometimes the most unfeasible disguise. Even if it could hide wounds, it could also obstruct the gazes of those who cared or wanted to dig deeper. Cough cough, actually, to tell the truth, sometimes indifference was something very detestable.

So, a mere half a year after Yuan JingYa married into the Qilin clan, the most beautiful woman of the Ten Great Clansten great clans died. Not only did she not gain anybody's sympathy or pity, quite a few people felt as if she got what she deserved. A woman like Yuan JingYa should have a perfect marriage.

Although on the surface it seemed as if Yuan JingYa had it all, cool-eyed bystanders still existed. Too many people of the Ten Great Clans knew the cruel and heart-chilling truth of what happened at that time.

Qi QingLin didn't actually know any of that. How could he, who had been sent away the moment he was born, know of the disaster that had befallen his mother? When he came back, he was too busy dealing with all sorts of assassins and battles, so he couldn't find anyone to tell him the truth. Except, even though he didn't know the truth, he only had to understand one matter, and that was enough.

That man betrayed his mother, and that woman was the ringleader. Coming out to cause trouble would always be paid back for one day. To use JinYu's words, stealing away something someone cared the most about, and never letting him have the chance to get it again. That was the best revenge.

So, the first layer of revenge began right now.

Presently, Yuan JingYa's beautiful face had long since lost its former radiance and confidence. Her exhausted expression and the apprehension and terror that flashed across her eyes made her seem more weak and helpless than ever.

Even though she had already been a mother for twenty years now, her current appearance still made quite a few men dazed when they saw her. It was just that she herself didn't have the energy to care any longer, that's all. Typically, those people would lose a layer of skin even if they didn't die.

The flying eagle underneath her reached her destination in a moment's time. Except before Yuan JingYa could take a breath and decide what to do so she could resolve everything with the greatest benefit for her, an extremely familiar scream came from the laughably tiny room. Clenching her fists, the coldest, darkest light flashed extremely quickly across Yuan JingYa's eyes.
