655: Ziyan’s Death VIII

Ziyan’s Death VIII

"The mistress[1] of Fengyun clan has put in so much effort on me but I have let her down. I have also failed the manor lady and Yun'er. I have lost Yun'er. I can't afford to lose Fengyun clan too… Even though I am not going back to Fengyun Manor, I am still part of Fengyun clan."1

Even if the mistress of Fengyun clan did not forgive him, he would rush back to Fengyun Manor if the clan was in trouble. 

"Alright."

Hong Yu sighed as she walked toward Qing Yuan. She patted his shoulder and gave him a few words of comfort.

"Qing Yuan, we will always be your friend. When you have time, come and visit us at Fengyun Manor. Everyone in the clan felt so sad when you had decided to leave Fengyun Manor because of Ziyan…" 

Qing Yuan's fists tightened, his eyes were filled with regret.

"I am sorry… however, there is no point crying over spilled milk."

Qing Yuan had left the whole world behind because of Ziyan. It was worthwhile if only Ziyan was true to him. However, it turned out that not only was Ziyan deceiving him for such a long time, but she had also even drawn him away from his family. Qing Yuan was such a fool! 

"Hong Yu… help me to thank the manor lady. If not for her, Ziyan would not have revealed her true colors. Also, I wouldn't have known who my real benefactor is." Qing Yuan raised his eyes, his delicate face seemed sad. 

"I will not do that. You must tell her yourself in the future. The manor lady may seem ruthless to those who go against her, but she is gentle and kind," Hong Yu said, anxiously.

"I feel embarrassed to meet her." Qing Yuan smiled wryly.

Ever since Ziyan revealed her true colors, Qing Yuan had quickly known that Ziyan had intentionally stopped him from saving the family of the master of Fengyun clan back then. She had lied to him that Nalan Jing had dumped her.

What was more ridiculous was the fact that Qing Yuan had actually trusted her so much that the family of the master of Fengyun clan was nearly killed. How could he face them?

"If the manor lady really hates you, she would never have helped you by only weakening your strength. She had shown you mercy… If you want to thank her, you must do it in person." Hong Yu smiled.

Qing Yuan wanted to say something, but he simply stared at Hong Yu without saying anything.

"Qing Yuan, when you've found a place to stay, don't forget to write me a letter so we could pay you a visit." Hong Yu furrowed her brows as she said.

"Sure," Qing Yuan smiled with relief. All the dejection in his heart vanished together with Ziyan.

Qing Yuan did not talk further with Hong Yu. He walked toward the Fifth Elder and took a deep bow.

"Fifth Elder, it's time for me to take my leave."

Simply no one was more heartbroken than Fifth Elder as he was the one who brought Qing Yuan up. However, seeing Qing Yuan's current situation, he could no longer say anything spiteful.

"Take good care of yourself after leaving Fengyun Manor. In the future…don't get tricked again. We have always disliked Ziyan. However, since you are so in love with her, we could not do anything back then."

Fortunately, Qing Yuan had woken up. The people of Fengyun Clan felt immensely relieved.

"Qing Yuan…will listen to Fifth Elder's advice." Qing Yuan swung his robe, fell to his knees, and kowtowed to the Fifth Elder.

The sun shone brilliantly outside. Dressed in a green robe with thick black hair, Qing Yuan got up and walked toward the gate.
