Chapter 289 Embarrassed Yan Fei
Did Yan Fei really faint? Of course not, but, in this situation, how could Yan Fei wake up?
At the moment of Yan Dan's death, the influence that Yan Dan had on Yan Fei with the help of the power of the Blue Dragon Seven Stars was gradually weakening. When the Blue Dragon Seven Stars fell into Yang Chong's hands, Yan Fei's will had completely regained its freedom.
Yan Fei, who had regained her consciousness, recalled her actions after meeting Yan Dan, and she knew what had happened.
However, sometimes not knowing the truth is actually a good thing, while knowing the truth is even more cruel, and this is the case for Yan Fei at this moment.
He had actually fallen into Yan Dan's trap. During this period of time, he had been like a lovelorn maniac and even betrayed the Yin-Yang family for Yan Dan.
This is the greatest insult to those who are proud and arrogant.
As the Dongjun of the Yin-Yang School, Yan Fei's cultivation level was far superior to her peers, so she naturally had her own pride. But now her pride was severely trampled upon, which was enough to make her feel ashamed and angry to death.
But the reality was even more cruel to Yan Fei. Her most unbearable and embarrassing side was seen by Yue Shen and Yang Chong.
Yue Shen is the person closest to Yan Fei. On the one hand, the two are like sisters, but on the other hand, they are very competitive with each other. Yan Fei has always been able to suppress Yue Shen, which is also the source of Yan Fei's pride.
But right now, Yan Fei had become like this in front of the Moon Goddess.
And there is Yang Chong, the Yang Chong whom she did not think highly of back then, but now he has become the one who saved her.
Yan Fei didn't want to face the cruel reality after waking up, and she really had no better choice than to fall into a coma.
Unfortunately, the Moon Goddess had no idea of Yan Fei’s thoughts. All she saw at this moment was Yan Fei’s coma.
Although the sisters had fought openly and secretly in the past, the sight of Yan Fei in such an embarrassing state at this moment still made Yue Shen feel heartbroken. After all, they were sisters who grew up together and still had feelings for each other.
"My king, why hasn't my sister woken up yet? Could it be that Yan Dan's conspiracy has caused her to be seriously injured?" Yue Shen helped Yan Fei to lie down on a huge rock and carefully wiped the dirt off Yan Fei's face, revealing Yan Fei's pale face.
"There's no problem. She will wake up naturally when she should. You all come from the Yin-Yang family, so you will stay and take care of her. As for what happens next, she will choose for herself." Yang Chong said.
Yang Chong had another purpose in going to Linzi this time. Meeting Yueshen and her group was just an accident. Now that the matter has been resolved, Yang Chong will naturally continue to go to Dai to see what happened there and whether something unpredictable really happened.
"Sister?" Yueshen was so concerned that she thought Yang Chong's refusal was due to his dislike for Yan Fei.
Yue Shen did not hide anything from Yang Chong about how the Yin-Yang School made the choice between Qin and Qi. It was not that she did not dare to, but in order to gain Yang Chong's trust, she herself had to be truly loyal to Yang Chong first. This was a process of equal exchange.
It is precisely because of this that Yue Shen is worried that Yang Chong has a prejudice against Yan Fei at this time. After all, Yang Chong has sufficient reasons to hate Yan Fei.
"She is not physically injured, but she is hurt in her heart. But once her heart is healed, she will wake up naturally." Yang Chong said.
The Moon Goddess was also an extremely intelligent woman. She was just worried and confused at the moment. After Yang Chong's reminder, the Moon Goddess suddenly reacted. When she looked at the unconscious Yan Fei again, she saw something that she had not seen before.
Although Yan Fei's eyes were closed, if one looked closely, one could still see the slight tremor in her eyes, which betrayed Yan Fei's true situation.
Realizing this, the Moon Goddess didn't say anything more. She could understand Yan Fei's mentality at the moment. It was indeed too embarrassing. Only coma could bring relief, even if the coma was fake.
……
"You are really different now." While walking between the steep cliffs, Yan Lingji still had the mind to chat and laugh with Yang Chong.
"What's the difference?" Yang Chong asked back.
"You are not moved by such a beautiful woman, but just throw her away." Yan Lingji smiled knowingly. The more ruthless Yang Chong was to Yan Fei, the happier she was. She didn't want to see Yang Chong being nice to so many women.
"How do you know that I'm not moved?" Yang Chong responded to Yan Lingji with a meaningful smile.
"No, if I were Yan Fei, I would hate you to death if you did that. How could you have any intentions towards her? How could I not know your methods? If you use tricks to get a woman, no woman can escape your routine." Yan Lingji said puzzledly. From what she saw just now, she really couldn't tell that Yang Chong had any intentions towards Yan Fei!
"Yan Fei is different. People like her have been holding on for too long. If we don't trample her hard under our feet, how can we leave an indelible impression on her?" Yang Chong said.
Yan Fei was able to become Dong Jun of the Yin-Yang School because she was excellent in every aspect, whether it was her appearance, figure, temperament, or her strength and character. Although she looked quite embarrassed because of Yan Dan's ambushing, Yan Fei was still Yan Fei after all.
However, if Yan Fei was still Dong Jun of the Yin-Yang Family, Yang Chong might have used some gentler means on her. But Yan Fei, who defected from the Yin-Yang Family and was plotted against by Yan Dan, would not be treated so well by Yang Chong.
Yang Chong would rather use an almost violent method to take down Yan Fei.
"You really are..." Yan Lingji stared at Yang Chong in a daze, not knowing what to say for a moment.
However, Yan Lingji did not find it offensive to discuss the issue of Yan Fei with Yang Chong in this way, because Yang Chong was still the same as before, hiding nothing from her and being honest about everything as always.
This is our own people!
When Yang Chong and Yan Lingji were heading towards Dai, Yan Fei also slowly woke up from her coma.
"Sister, are you okay?" When the Moon Goddess saw Yan Fei 'awakening', she did not expose Yan Fei's behavior just now, but just asked with concern.
"It's just some minor troubles, no problem." Yan Fei shook her head, her eyes full of complexity.
She didn't expect that she would experience such an unbearable thing. Although Yan Dan did not succeed completely, she had almost betrayed the Yin-Yang Family at this time. The pursuit from the Yin-Yang Family was fine, but what she could not tolerate was that she looked down on everyone. Both King Zheng of Qin and King Chong of Qi were regarded as tools to achieve their goals. But when the time came, she fell into Yan Dan's hands.
Who is Yan Dan? He is said to be the prince of Yan State and the descendant of a great Mohist master. Such an identity is precious in the eyes of the world, but what does it count for in front of Dongjun of the Yin-Yang School?
For such a person, when he was in Qin, King Zheng of Qin didn't even need to give orders personally, just an attitude could make him live in Qin with frustration. On the way to escape, they thought they were powerful martial artists, but they were killed by King Chong of Qi in a snap, which was no more troublesome than killing an ant. How ridiculous is the so-called strength of Yan State, but such a person successfully plotted against her and even made her betray the Yin-Yang family. Doesn't this mean that she is not even as good as Yan Dan?
Thinking of the reasons why she persuaded the leader Donghuang Taiyi to abandon Qi and choose Qin in Linzi, Yan Fei felt even more ashamed and angry.
Although she was reluctant to admit it, Yan Fei knew that she had to face the reality, which was that she was rescued by Qi Wang Chong.
Yan Fei knew very well that if King Qi had not worshipped her, she would have followed Yan Dan back to the State of Yan. As long as she gave Yan Dan enough attention, she would really dedicate everything she had to Yan Dan, including her soul, imperceptibly.
"That's good, that's good. What are your plans next, sister?" asked the Moon Goddess.
Faced with the Moon Goddess's concern, Yan Fei hesitated.
It may not be so easy for Yan Fei to return to the Yin-Yang Family now. Although she betrayed the Yin-Yang Family because of Yan Dan's conspiracy, it does not mean that she is really disloyal to the Yin-Yang Family. However, this incident proved her loyalty to the Yin-Yang Family while also proving her incompetence.
The Yin-Yang School certainly does not need a disloyal Dong Jun, but it also does not need an incompetent Dong Jun.
Therefore, in the future, even if Yan Fei could return to the Yin Yang family alive, she would not be willing to do so because she still had her own face.
However, if Yan Fei did not return to the Yin Yang Family, her betrayal of the Yin Yang Family would be completely confirmed, and she would face the pursuit from the Yin Yang Family. Although there were people in the world who could protect her from the pursuit of the Yin Yang Family, there were not many of them. Moreover, why would those few people who could protect her protect her? Not everyone would favor her without reason.
Yue Shen knew all of this, and so did Yan Fei. That was why Yue Shen asked questions and why Yan Fei hesitated.
"I'm not sure." Yan Fei shook her head in hesitation. Today, although the world is so big, Yan Fei found that she could not find a place to settle down. The pride she once had was gone, and what followed was her timidity.
"Sister, if you have nowhere to go, you might as well come back to Qi with me. The king can protect you." said the Moon Goddess.
"Qi State? King Chong of Qi?" When Yan Fei heard this, her heart trembled even more.
Yang Chong certainly has enough ability to protect her. As the king, Qi is not afraid of the threat from Qin. As a master, Yang Chong has power that is no weaker than Donghuang Taiyi. For these reasons, if there is only one person in the world who can protect her, that person must be Yang Chong.
But the same thing still applies. Although Yang Chong has the ability to take in and protect Yan Fei, why should he do so? The two of them are not related, and they have no interests in common.
Moreover, is the Moon Goddess really thinking about me, or is she just trying to make fun of me? Yan Fei, who has become more sensitive in her vulnerability, now sees the impurities in the sisterhood between her and the Moon Goddess.
In the past, Yan Fei was strong and condescending in front of Yue Shen. At that time, she could not see the subtle feelings that Yue Shen had for her. But now, Yan Fei is weaker than Yue Shen. In her weak position, she understands a certain mentality of Yue Shen.
In the midst of the dilemma, Yan Fei slowly asked: "Do you want to see me make a fool of myself?"
She has nothing left, not even the last bit of dignity. What's the point of her living in this world?
"Sister, I have absolutely no such intention." Facing Yan Fei's questioning, Yue Shen quickly assured.
But before the Moon Goddess's assurance, Yan Fei chose not to believe it.
Under Yan Fei's suspicious gaze, Yue Shen quickly continued: "I admit that before today, my biggest wish was to surpass you, sister, and then see you look embarrassed in front of me."
"I knew you had this idea, and now you finally got what you wanted." Yan Fei was no longer sad or happy, as the situation could not get any worse.
"No, sister, that was in the past. When I saw you unconscious, I found that I couldn't feel even a little bit of happiness. You are my sister, and we grew up together. Even if there are some dirty things between us, we are still sisters after all. But when your sister is in trouble, how can you gloat over her misfortune?" The Moon Goddess stated what she was thinking.
"You can definitely do it." Yan Fei still didn't believe it.
"Yes, I admit that I did feel a little bit of joy when I saw my sister in such bad luck, but I soon discovered that after this joy, I felt more heartache. I felt heartache for my sister's experience. In the face of this heartache, the joy I felt only made me feel ashamed."
"You?" Yan Fei looked at Yue Shen. Yue Shen's honesty surprised her, but it was this somewhat dark thought that made Yan Fei feel the reality. Faced with Yue Shen's honesty, she chose to believe it.
"Then congratulations, sister. You win this time." Yan Fei felt particularly relieved after saying this. It turned out that some things do not necessarily have to be ranked high or low.
"No, sister, I didn't win, and you didn't lose. Aren't we all fine now?" Yue Shen held Yan Fei's hand. At this moment, she was extremely gentle and completely played the role of a younger sister. At this moment, she was just a sister who cared about her sister.
"Yes, we are all fine." Yan Fei sighed. She already knew that although the Moon Goddess had not won yet, she herself had already lost.
Is this what it feels like to lose? It seems that losing to someone close to you is not that painful. Yan Fei muttered to herself in her heart. At this time, she chose to let herself go.
The Moon Goddess also felt very relaxed at this time. Although she didn't know whether she could really win in the future, Yan Fei had indeed lost at the moment.
In front of Yan Fei, she didn't need to emphasize her status as a winner to get spiritual satisfaction.
A winner does not necessarily have to be overbearing. Being tolerant is also something a winner can do, and it may even be more appropriate for him to do so.
It is just as the king said, only the victors can be truly tolerant, and only the strong can be truly humble.
