Volume 1: Phoenix Nirvana, Reborn from the Flames Chapter 17: What Are You Doing Here?

  The man sitting across from him, wearing a pure white brocade with embroidered bamboo branches on the cuffs, put down the white jade teacup in his hand and gazed gently downwards through the window in the direction he was pointing.

  Golden sunlight spills onto the streets, casting a refracted glow, a chaotic scene unfolding before one's eyes.

  A girl standing by the street, her long hair simply tied up, without any decoration, her eyebrows and eyes are like a painting, her black clothes fluttering lightly in the breeze, the petals of a pear tree blown off by the wind scattered all over the sky, falling on her jade-like face like snowflakes, making her skin as white as porcelain, crystal clear like jade, her black hair even darker, like a piece of high-quality satin draped behind her.

  The wind blew by, lifting her hair, revealing a flawless white face, absolutely stunning, impeccable, and beyond criticism.

  The hand holding the teacup paused slightly, on his clear and moist face, in his deep-colored phoenix eyes, there were some indistinguishable emotions, misty atmosphere, staring at everything happening below.

  "Master... Master..." The two attendants beside Bai Yi stared as their young master flew past in front of them, and it took a while for them to react. They rushed over to help Bai Yi up, only to see him clutching at his groin, wailing in pain. If the old master and mistress saw this when they got home, he would definitely be punished. The attendants were both frightened and angry, one of them pointing at Qing Ge and cursing: "You... you actually dared to kick our young master..."

  While speaking, he kept retreating backwards. Just now, Qing Ge's kick was so fast that they didn't even see it clearly, and it's definite that they can't win in a fight. Let's first take Young Master to see if the treasure is still usable or not. "You be careful... Qing Ge, if you end up crippling Young Master..."

  “Bang……” A dull thud, the mouth of the follower who had been making tough remarks was severely smashed by a hard object, and he was in so much pain that his eyes were streaming with tears. He pointed at Qing Ge several times, then didn't dare to speak again. The two of them quickly carried Bai Yi and ran out of the street.

  It's finally quiet...

  Qing Ge tossed the stone in her hand away, patted her hands clean, and a cold glint flashed in her phoenix-like eyes. Only trash would keep whining and complaining after losing, going on and on with their nonsense, just looking at them was annoying.

  The onlookers who were watching the commotion saw that the protagonist had left and suddenly felt that it wasn't interesting anymore, they whispered to each other in small voices:

  "Whose daughter is she... so pretty..."

  "Didn't you hear Bai Yi call her Mu Qing Ge? The one who was divorced..."

  "Really? I thought she wasn't that good-looking at first, but Mu Ziyu is indeed the number one beauty of Da Yong. Now that I look at her, she's even more beautiful than her younger sister..."

  "Hmm, quite skilled too, no wonder you're from a martial family... I wonder if you've kicked Bai Yi into retirement yet...... If you have, Bai Shilang will definitely be furious..."

  ……

  Is she going to kick White Easy? Humph, she's not a reckless person. When she kicked him, she adjusted the angle slightly and controlled her strength just right. This kick would only leave White Easy with a painful memory, but it wouldn't cripple him.

  Although in terms of official position, the Mu family's official position is above that of the Bai family, but Bai Yi is the eldest son and the treasure of the Bai family. Now that he has been crippled, the Bai family will not let it go easily. She now has nothing, and the people of the Mu Mansion are unreliable, who knows whether they will sacrifice her directly or not? The madam doesn't seem to like her very much, and if there's an opportunity, she won't let it slip away.

  She is not afraid of trouble and does not like brainless people who get themselves into trouble.

  Before having real power, any arrogant behavior without considering consequences is a joke.

  Having settled this, she continued walking forward. According to what the shopkeeper said earlier, going a bit further ahead and turning left would be the Huanyun Pavilion.

  "Yichen, how is it? I didn't see wrongly, did I? That's indeed the Mu Qingge you divorced, right? I'm sure I didn't see wrongly. The kick just now was clean and neat, really a waste of the Mu family? Tsk tsk, she looks...". This speaker is Zhao Xiyi, the eldest son of the Minister of Rites, and a good friend of Yichen, the Grandson of the Emperor of Da Yong. He said this while looking at a woman sitting on his left side, paused for a moment, and then smiled without continuing to speak.

  Yu Chen lightly murmured, "It's Mu Qing Ge, but it's not quite the same." His fingers gently stroked the sky-blue jade pendant at his waist, and in his mind, he recalled the girl's face from earlier, especially those eyes.

  A pair of exceptionally clear and bright eyes, as if they were the only star rising in the dark wilderness when a traveler was lost, emitting dazzling light, making people involuntarily take a second look. At that moment, her calm and serene demeanor stood out even more among these sullied people, making it impossible for anyone to ignore her. She had an air of elegance and freedom about her, like a gentle breeze in the midst of all this decadence.

  If it weren't for her unchanged appearance, he wouldn't dare believe that this carefree and lively girl was his fiancée since childhood - Mu Qingge.

  Since he was sensible, he knew that he had an unmarried wife from a martial general's family, and she was also a child born out of wedlock. Although he was unwilling in his heart, since it was specified by the imperial grandfather, he could only accept it.

  Who would have thought that the two times they met after growing up, she was not dressed in a messy and mismatched outfit, with her face painted green and red like someone who had just lost a family member. She always hung her head low, didn't dare to say anything, didn't look at anything, and looked completely out of place. This was in stark contrast to the elegant and refined demeanor of the other official's daughters standing beside her.

  Men, who doesn't love beautiful women? As the daughter of the Mu family, Mu Ziyu is the number one beauty in Dayong, so why does Mu Qingge have such a bad reputation?

  What he wanted was a queen who could stand alongside him, not a useless waste that couldn't even show her face. The closer the grand wedding got, the more unbearable it became for him, so he directly sent someone to deliver a divorce paper to her. Who knew that upon seeing the divorce paper, Mu Qing Ge went to crash into the wall and commit suicide? She really was a woman with no mental endurance at all.

  But today's her made him feel very different, he couldn't see it at all, nor could he imagine that she had once attempted suicide for her own divorce.

  This stunning feeling is the self-confidence emanating from his heart, a kind of splendor he has never seen before.

  Even...

  He glanced at the woman sitting on his right, He Xueying, the first talented woman of Dayong and the only daughter of the Right Prime Minister. She was wearing a pale white long dress today, with lotus flowers embroidered on the cuffs in a light green color, and silver threads that outlined a few auspicious clouds. Her hair was adorned with flowing silk threads, and a jade step shake was inserted at an angle on her forehead, exuding a elegant and refined beauty, surrounded by a scholarly aura. She was dressed more meticulously than Mu Qingge, but today she felt like something was missing, not in terms of appearance, but a kind of stunning splendor.

  "Yichen...... what are you thinking about?" Asked He Xueying, who was sitting on the left, seeing Yichen's expression sink into thought for a moment, his eyes somewhat uncertain. She had just heard their conversation - Mu Qingge.

  Although she knew that Mu Qing Ge was a concubine without status, Yu Yi Chen had already given her a divorce letter. However, they had been engaged before, and she didn't want anything to do with him anymore. All their friends in the capital knew that Yu Yi Chen's heart belonged to her, and were waiting for him to divorce Mu Qing Ge so he could come and propose to her.

  Looking at He Xueying's furrowed brow, Yu Yi Chen finally recalled his thoughts, "Nothing, let's take a look at today's auction." What was wrong with him just now, how could he be distracted by a woman who had been divorced by himself?

  But what did Mu Qing Ge come to Dong Da Jie for today?
