CHAPTER 187: CHAPTER 291: SUDDEN ESTRANGEMENT

Su Yuwei accused the Wang Family of colluding with the Deserters, rather than colluding with Yuan Shouyi to attack her.

The reasoning is simple, Yuan Shouyi didn’t appear, which provides countless excuses to deflect blame.

More importantly, the Profound Moon Sword Sect would not turn against Yuan Shouyi for her sake. This does not align with the interests of the Profound Moon Sword Sect, and as the City Lord of Jubei City, Yuan Shouyi still wields terrifying power. If they really turn face, it would only lead to mutual destruction, benefitting the Deserters for no reason.

This is an outcome nobody wants, including Su Yuwei!

Conversely, the survival of the Wang Family is a trivial matter.

Su Yuwei did not consult Wang Junze’s opinion on this matter, partly because from Wang Junze’s standpoint, it would be difficult to make the decision to destroy the Wang Family. But if she orders it, it can avoid all troubles, and no one can say anything.

Moreover, given Su Yuwei’s status, encountering such an attack requires someone to pay the price. Since Yuan Shouyi cannot yet be dealt with, the Wang Family must be destroyed!

Since the Wang Family dared to strike against her, this is the price they must pay. Even if Wang Junze intervenes, Su Yuwei will not change her mind.

As for sparing Wang Cheng, it leaves some room for Wang Junze.

After all, no matter what, Wang Cheng is always Wang Junze’s father. Even if they are at odds, this identity cannot be erased. If she kills Wang Cheng, it wouldn’t be proper. On the contrary, sparing Wang Cheng allows Wang Junze to have no psychological guilt.

Moreover, after this incident, even if Wang Cheng survives, he can no longer pose a threat to anyone.

Without Luo Qingxuan needing to act, after she nodded, the people of the Profound Moon Sword Sect took action. In just a brief moment, everyone in the Wang Family was killed cleanly.

Also killed were the cavalry from the City Lord’s Mansion!

From the moment they were dispatched, their fate was sealed. If they did not succeed, they would surely die!

For this, there is no need to provide any reason!

These cavalry from the City Lord’s Mansion perished alongside the Great Snow Wolf Riders, which in itself is the best explanation, isn’t it?

Half an hour later, Su Yuwei stepped out of the Wang Family and went to the Profound Moon Sword Sect with Luo Qingxuan.

As for the relics, no one mentioned it for now, but it was evident that the people of the Profound Moon Sword Sect had been sent to take over the relics. As for the distribution of interests, there is no rush.

...

City Lord’s Mansion.

Yuan Shouyi sat quietly in the garden, not saying a word, until the setting sun descended.

The setting sun was like blood.

On the surface, it seemed Yuan Shouyi was completely defeated, as neither Wang Junze nor Su Yuwei was dead. But in reality, for Yuan Shouyi, this was not an entirely unacceptable result.

After all, the greatest threat, the Judgment Department, had ultimately been temporarily resolved.

Su Yuwei was no longer capable of establishing the Judgment Department’s base in the Northern Domain, thus his position remained as solid as a rock.

As for the lingering hidden dangers...

A hidden danger is ultimately just a hidden danger.

If Su Yuwei can truly take Wang Junze out of the Northern Domain, all the better.

...

A flying sword grew against the wind, and in the blink of an eye, it transformed into a giant sword, carrying both Wang Junze and Su Yuwei soaring into the sky.

Sword Flight!

Even though he was merely being carried into the air, for Wang Junze, it was still a very novel experience. This feeling of soaring above the blue sky was indeed fascinating.

"No need to envy, the Sword Control Technique isn’t anything remarkable. Once you enter the sect, in three to five years at most, with your talent, you have the hope of breaking through to the Heaven-Stepping Realm."

Looking at Wang Junze, Luo Qingxuan smiled and said.

"Don’t be happy too early, Wang Junze hasn’t agreed to join the Profound Moon Sword Sect yet." Su Yuwei retorted displeasedly with a cold snort.

"Are you still being stubborn at this point?"

Luo Qingxuan, unfazed, laughed lightly and said, "What, do you still want to take him back to the Capital City?"

"Can’t I?"

Glancing at Luo Qingxuan, Su Yuwei countered, "The Northern Domain is ultimately just a corner. Compared to the prosperity of the Central State, calling it a backwater isn’t saying too much, right?"

"In fact, I’d very much like to see the grand spectacle of the Central State as well."

Surprisingly, Luo Qingxuan did not refute and said softly, "In the future, when there’s a chance, we will meet again in the Capital City. I just hope that by then, you won’t be too far out of my reach."

"Stop dreaming. You won me once, and you really think you’re something special?" Su Yuwei mocked disdainfully.

"Commandery Princess, may I go to the Capital City with you?"

Listening to the two bickering, Wang Junze couldn’t help but interject and ask.

"..."

Hearing this, Su Yuwei fell silent for a moment, seemingly losing interest in bickering with Luo Qingxuan.

After more than ten breaths of time, Su Yuwei finally shook her head slowly and said, "I can’t take you; Luo Qingxuan is right, the Profound Moon Sword Sect is where you should go."

"???

These words were something Wang Junze had not expected at all before.

Previously, he had not agreed to join the Profound Moon Sword Sect, actually because he had the idea of leaving with Su Yuwei.

After all, for Wang Junze, there was actually nothing in the Northern Domain worth longing for.

On the contrary, because of the Wang Family’s affairs, Wang Junze felt very weary. If he could leave the Northern Domain and start anew, it seemed to be the future he more yearned for. Moreover, only by going to the Capital City could he be closer to Su Yuwei.

But he never expected that Su Yuwei would actually refuse.

Clearly before, Su Yuwei didn’t reject him and frequently mentioned that joining the Judgment Department, the opportunities obtained would not be inferior to those in the Profound Moon Sword Sect.

Just because the Judgment Department’s base cannot be established in the Northern Domain, he shouldn’t join the Judgment Department either?

Looking at Wang Junze, Su Yuwei sighed softly and then continued, "The Capital City is not suitable for you, at least, not now!"

"In the Northern Domain, you are a rare Sword Path Genius. But once you go to the Capital City, you are just an ordinary talent. And the Capital City... there’s no shortage of talents!"

With a somewhat indifferent expression, Su Yuwei continued, "Once in the Capital City, even if you join the Judgment Department, you are merely a junior official at the bottom. You can’t expect me to always take care of you, can you? We aren’t that close yet."

"..."

Looking at the Su Yuwei in front of him, Wang Junze suddenly felt she was incredibly unfamiliar.

This indifferent and distant tone seemed even stranger than when he first met Su Yuwei.

But, wasn’t everything fine before? How did it change all of a sudden?

Or is it that... he had still overestimated himself?

With a touch of self-mockery at the corner of his mouth, Wang Junze sat quietly on the flying sword, falling silent.

Sighing inwardly, Luo Qingxuan seemed to want to say something, but ultimately couldn’t bring herself to speak.

There are some things she vaguely knew, but since Su Yuwei wasn’t saying, she naturally couldn’t say more either.

For a moment, the atmosphere seemed to become heavy, and no one chose to speak anymore.
