Chapter 1274 - Chapter 1274 Chapter 566 Break Up

Chapter 1274: Chapter 566: Break Up Chapter 1274: Chapter 566: Break Up All the administrators within the quarantine zone were reluctant to let her go, but they understood there was no possibility of making her stay.

They also understood that the goddess refrained from openly explaining the situation, as she feared it would incite chaos within the quarantine zone.

After all, under the influence of “Charming Eyes,” countless people were deeply infatuated with the goddess, yet kept their feelings buried in their hearts.

These people, for just one word from the goddess, would forego food and drink; knowing she was about to leave, they would only develop the urge to follow her.

But the goddess was finally bound to depart — after all, she had descended to save them, and understanding this, it was time for her to leave.

Yet before she left, she had one very important matter to attend to.

“Longxi’s Pride has come to ask to see the goddess again,”

This was already the umpteenth visiting card, starting from ones with neat handwriting and elegant sentences to those that became…

“Meet or not?”

“Meet tomorrow!”

“Just for a chat.”

“I’ll be angry if we don’t meet today!”

“Still not meeting today? I’m really angry!”

“Furious, let’s argue under the big banyan tree at East Market, don’t be late!”

A handwritten visiting card every day, only visible to Yun Xiu, but every refugee in the eastern part of the Lower City District knew that Longxi’s Pride must have taken a fancy to the kind and beautiful goddess of unknown origin.

Fortunately, his approaches were polite and restrained, delivering visiting cards daily, taking rejection in stride without any overt reactions, but simply sending another card the next day, embodying the grace of a gentleman.

This also led the people of the Lower City District to speculate endlessly about just how many visiting cards would finally make Yun Xiu accept him.

They thought she wouldn’t accept him until there were at least a hundred cards, yet, to their surprise, on just the twentieth card, the goddess accepted and invited Longxi’s Pride to meet at East Market Law Office.

Tang Luo was overjoyed, rushed excitedly to the East Market Law Office, intending to express his deep longing to his wife, but upon entering the hall, he saw a strange maid sitting there and swallowed back his words of affection.

“Ahem…”

Drawing his robes into order, Tang Luo bowed to Yun Xiu and said, “I have the honor to meet Miss Yun.”

“Lord of Tang Clan, please take a seat. Su Yun, go and check if the tea in the kitchen is ready,”

Yun Xiu, just like when she first met Tang Luo, spoke indifferently towards the maid beside her, as if the two of them had never met before.

The maid obediently responded and cast a quick, concerned glance at Tang Luo before heading towards the back hall.

Seeing that it was just Yun Xiu and himself, Tang Luo immediately became extremely excited. His face alight with emotion, he leaped towards Yun Xiu.

He thought he could embrace the woman he loved, but instead, he embraced empty air,

“What’s the meaning of this!”

Turning around, Tang Luo looked at Yun Xiu’s indifferent face and said in a hurt tone, “All these days, don’t you miss me at all…”

“Lord of Tang Clan, please keep your dignity,”

Yun Xiu, ethereal in her flowing white dress like a fairy untouched by the worldly mires, coldly said, “Please keep your hands to yourself when speaking.”

“It’s me, hey!”

Tang Luo felt even more wronged as he pointed to his own face and said, “It’s me, though I may look a bit different, you should at least remember my face!”

In order to alter his physical features, Tang Luo maintained a contracted state while embodying Hook Chen, making his figure appear very thin. However, once the mask was removed, it was still the same face. Yun Xiu had no reason not to recognize it, yet the alienation at that moment was puzzling.

Explosive! Frustrating!

How could she forget this face? But why would Yun Xiu admit it? Still wearing that aloof expression, she said indifferently, “I asked Tang Tianjiao to come here to make it clear that you should stop sending invitation cards in the future.”

“…”

After a moment of silence, Tang Luo returned to his seat, his voice tinged with sadness, “Don’t be like this, let’s talk about the problem. Why say something so hurtful? Concealing my identity was my fault, but you know, this isn’t just about me. It concerns the safety of our entire clan, so I had to be cautious. But haven’t I come clean now? Can’t we be together openly in the future? Isn’t that good?”

“Can we still be together?” Yun Xiu asked with a smile, “Even if Tang Tianjiao doesn’t take the Dutian Heavenly King into consideration, what about my aunt’s matter?”

“That’s exactly what I came here to explain.”

Despite all precautions, it still came to this point. Actually, changing from Hook Chen to Tang Luo, the most critical part was this.

As Hook Chen, he could still fabricate lies about fearing the Fire-Stealing Grandmaster and stopping Yun Xiu from going to Longxi due to potential dangers, but now that he had transformed into Tang Luo, this excuse became awkward.

Either Tang Luo concealed everything regarding the incident with Yun Piaopiao, or he actually had no intention of accepting Yun Xiu.

But heaven knows, Tang Luo was just at a loss for how to begin, so he randomly made up an excuse to muddle through. Now, he had to swallow this bitter pill himself.

“At that time, the Tang Clan and the Mi Clan were in a fierce war. Yun Piaopiao used the marriage as a pretext to bring a group of special Wind Media to our clan’s base, even treating the Xu Clan as the enemy of the Yun Family. Under such circumstances, there was no room for negotiation, just a fight for survival,” Tang Luo said, deciding to lay out the whole situation.

“A killer must face retaliation; there’s no right or wrong in war. You can’t deny our relationship over this, can you?”

“Since my aunt died at the hands of your Tang Clan, how could I possibly be with you!”

“Are you being reasonable? Your aunt came to kill, and the Tang Clan only retaliated. Moreover, why continue the resentment between us?”

“There’s no need to say more. From now on, you go your way, I’ll go mine, no more involvement!”

“I won’t accept that!”

Tang Luo slammed the table and exclaimed angrily, “Don’t be excessive, I’m telling you, my patience has limits!”

Looking at the table that had been smashed into powder and then at the furious Tang Luo, Yun Xiu pouted and said with grievance, “You’re scaring me again!”

“Not at all, I’m just loudly making my point!”

“You just slammed the table. Are you also thinking about slapping me to death? Come on then, kill me!”

“Ah! What are you talking about? You suddenly want to go separate ways and won’t even allow me a momentary lapse, can’t you discuss this reasonably!”

“There’s no reason to discuss…”

Just as the two were arguing heatedly, Su Yun came back holding a teacup, blocking any further words.

Only a shattered table and Tang Tianjiao’s Pride, who was breathing heavily in anger, remained in the hall.

Seeing that the previous conversation had been unpleasant, Su Yun didn’t dare to approach and could only silently seek advice from her mistress with her eyes.

“Put down the teacup!”

Yun Xiu told Su Yun and then turned to the still furious Tang Luo, “Please enjoy your tea slowly, Miss has many things to handle and must leave you now!”

Without waiting for Tang Luo to recover, Yun Xiu walked out briskly, and only the timid servant girl nervously held the tea in front of her. Seeing the table shattered into pieces, not knowing where to place the tea, she nearly burst into tears.

“Alright, put it aside.”

Tang Luo pointed to another table and said to Su Yun with irritation.
