Chapter 811: She wants to ask him a question

Han Yunxi was a sharp woman! She regarded Chu Xifeng coldly, smelling the scent of hatred in the air. It was precisely that flavor that sent a basin of cold water from her head down and completely stilled her chaotic thoughts.

Long Feiye was the East Qin crown prince, while she was the West Qin orphan. The two imperial clans had irreconcilable enmity against each other!

Actually, she wasn’t even the real “Han Yunxi,” so she couldn’t feel any hints of hate. But Long Feiye was different! Ever since he was young, he had known he wasn’t a Tianning imperial prince. Moreover, his imperial mother had long started making Beauty’s Blood to break through the puzzle of the Perplexing Butterfly Illusion and win the world. Everything proved that Long Feiye was shouldering the burden of seeking revenge and reviving his country. All his years of hard work were for the sake of flying East Qin’s battle banners and going on an expedition against the world!

The most loyal subordinates by his side who knew of his status were likely some of East Qin’s staunchest supporters! They included the Baili military, the shadow guards, and the Tang Clan. 

It’d be strange if Chu Xifeng didn’t hate her!

Han Yunxi might not be personally affected by the East-West hate, but she understood matters of national enmity. She too, cherished and treasured her country and despised its historical invaders, plunderers, and murderers! Seeing the indignant hostility in Chu Xifeng’s eyes, none of the thousands of thoughts in Han Yunxi’s mind mattered anymore. All she wanted to know was the truth.

Had Long Feiye long found out about her identity? This was why she wanted to find Mu Linger! Long Feiye had been looking into her origins in the past and found out about Muxin from Medicine City’s Mu Clan. The news boiling over Cloud Realm Continent now had mentioned the woman and said that Mu Xin was a descendant of the West Qin imperial clan. Such a coincidence, combined with Mu Linger’s previous rant, only made her think of Mute Granny!

Mute Granny was the only person who knew the entire truth. If Long Feiye had long discovered her identity, he could have shut Mute Granny’s lips while hiding her death from her. If that was the case, then what were the motives behind his actions to her now? And what about the motives of Long Feiye and Gu Beiyue’s collaboration? 

Another possibility was that Mute Granny had nothing to do with Long Feiye, so he never knew about her status. But that too, gave Han Yunxi nothing but despair! How could the East Qin crown prince ever love a descendant from the West Qin imperial family? Was Long Feiye regretting everything right now? Did he repent acknowledging her after she delivered herself to his door?

Just what was the truth?

She hated suspicions and guesswork. She only wanted the truth! Whether it brought along pain or anger, hatred or complaints, or even a love that was given willingly despite its flaws, everything hinged on the facts. Only then could she have the power to make a choice. Otherwise, she would just be a fool being strung this way or that. She loathed that feeling.

Here was her final efforts at rationality. 

Long Feiye, ah, Long Feiye. At least--at least you knew who you were! But what about me?

Han Yunxi thought of Gu Beiyue, the descendant of the Shadow Clan who were West Qin’s most loyal supporters. How much did you know, Gu Beiyue? How much have you lied to me?

“Chu Xifeng, are you planning to go against your superiors?” Han Yunxi seemed to be interrogating him, but she was actually sounding him out.

“Superior? Dregs of West Qin, you’re not worthy!” Chu Xifeng snorted coldly.
