Shocked! The Young Master's Petite Darling Is a Master of Mysteries-Chapter 223: The Mysterious Fate

The Divine Clan and the Wood Clan have a grudge against each other, and even though she is not considered a member of the Wood Clan now, the Divine Clan certainly wouldn’t see it that way.

The matters between Xia Mian and Lu Zechuan are delicate because of their special identities, and even if people from the Divine Clan wanted to intervene, they wouldn’t have the grounds to. But it was different for her and Xia Weizhang.

Xia Weizhang was merely a concubine’s child from a branch family of the Divine Clan, and she was just an abandoned child discarded by the Wood Clan.

For the two of them to be together, it’s easier said than done...

The light in Xia Weizhang’s eyes gradually dimmed as Ding Cheng’s words were spoken.

"I don’t care if you’re from the Wood Clan," Xia Weizhang said softly, "Trust me, I can make it so you won’t have to wander anymore for the rest of your life. I can make your later years happy and joyful."

Ding Cheng turned back to glance at him, "Xia Weizhang, you and I are not from the same world at all. There’s no possibility between us."

With these words, Ding Cheng turned and walked toward the council hall.

Anyhow, her life was saved by Xia Mian, and now that she was leaving, she should at least ask if Xia Mian needed her help.

Inside the council hall, only Ye Ge was left barely alive.

Qin Ru and Xia Weiyang abandoned her and just left, causing a deep sense of loss to arise in Ye Ge’s heart.

Qin Ru, gave up on her.

The light in Ye Ge’s eyes gradually dimmed, and her body, already severely injured, seemed to be on the brink of collapse at this moment.

At the moment when the light in her eyes was fading, a figure walked towards her against the light.

Ye Ge forced herself to open her eyes and saw the person she had utterly lost to last night, Xia Mian.

"Your master has abandoned you!" Xia Mian’s voice was calm and gentle, but Ye Ge could hear the killing intent in Xia Mian’s words.

"Take my life, then!" Ye Ge laughed at herself, "Originally, my life didn’t belong to me."

After saying this, Ye Ge slowly closed her eyes.

The moment she closed her eyes, she recalled the year of the great drought, corpses scattered everywhere, and it was the Great Elder of the Heavenly Maiden Clan who saved her from the pile of dead bodies...

Maybe she should have died a long time ago, died with her parents in that year of the great drought.

Xia Mian did not lay a hand on Ye Ge, but Ye Ge’s breath still gradually weakened.

Realizing her situation, Ye Ge chose to end her own life.

Xia Mian’s brow furrowed slightly; another person had died.

"Dear granddaughter, I’ve already dealt with those who wish you harm. Why not stay with the Divine Clan?" Xia Liang came over, his old face full of a pleasing smile.

Xia Mian’s talent was on par with Xia Zhun. If they could keep Xia Mian in the Divine Clan, it would not be difficult for the Divine Clan to reach new heights!

Xia Mian looked up, her eyes playfully falling on Xia Liang’s face, "They have lived in the Divine Clan with you for so many years, and yet you could kill them just like that. I have no emotional ties with you, so why should I believe that you genuinely care for me?"

Facing Xia Mian’s gaze, the fervor in Xia Liang’s eyes gradually cooled.

This little rascal, always going head-to-head with him, one wrong move and she would lead him right into a trap!

Xia Liang was displeased inside, but he dared not show it. He feared that his genius granddaughter would have an even bigger temper and would hit him at the slightest provocation!

Xia Liang felt stifled but dared not take it out on Xia Mian. When he turned to see Xia Zhun cuddling with Song Juan, he immediately put on a stern face, "Since you’re awake, do your job properly! The Divine Clan won’t do without you!"

Xia Zhun was called out, lazily glanced at Xia Liang, "Now that you’re still strong, naturally you should carry the banner of the Divine Clan!"

What does the future of the Divine Clan have to do with him?

He can’t even protect his own mother, so what’s the point of talking about protecting the Divine Clan?

"Since you like her, pick a suitable day and settle your affairs!" Xia Liang frowned, "I can’t let my dear granddaughter enter the Divine Clan without a proper title."

Xia Liang didn’t like Song Juan, but he couldn’t bear to lose Xia Mian.

For Xia Mian, he was forced to compromise.

"No need, in a few days, I’ll leave with them." Xia Zhun was not at all appreciative, and after saying this, he took Song Juan’s hand and was about to walk out.

"Stop right there!" Xia Liang was furious, "Where are you going with them? Is the cultivation environment outside better than the Divine Clan?"

Xia Zhun didn’t even turn his head, "Even if I never cultivate again from now on, it’s hard to find an opponent among the Hundred Families!"

This statement left Xia Liang unable to retort.

What Xia Zhun said was true.

However, he couldn’t just let Xia Zhun and Xia Mian leave like that!

The Divine Clan’s talents are dwindling now, and their position among the Hundred Families is on the verge of collapse. Many in the Mystical Sects are eyeing their Divine Clan like a piece of fatty meat!

"What exactly do you want me to do!" Xia Liang scowled, asking in a low voice.

"What do I want?" Xia Zhun slightly turned his head, his perfect profile carrying a hint of coldness, "Where exactly has my mother gone?"

With Xia Zhun’s question, Xia Liang immediately fell silent.

The whereabouts of Xia Zhun’s biological mother was a secret he couldn’t reveal.

"My mother just left with you once, and now she’s nowhere to be seen, dead or alive. If you can even abandon my mother, am I in your eyes just a pawn with some value?" Xia Zhun mocked himself with a smile, disregarding Xia Liang further, taking Song Juan’s hand, and striding out the door.

Xia Mian looked up at Xia Liang. Xia Liang’s expression had become heavier than ever before, his gaze deep and wandering, as if he was trapped in some painful memory.

Xia Mian couldn’t help but lightly frown; she and this estranged father of hers truly shared the same fate!

She had been searching for her father while her father had been searching for her mother.

What kind of fateful arrangement was this...

Xia Mian no longer wanted to continue talking to Xia Liang, silently turning and leaving.

Outside the door, Lu Zechuan slightly squinted, looking up at the sky.

In the Divine Clan, the morning sky was particularly blue, and the air was exceptionally fresh. Living here was indeed very beneficial for their cultivation.

However, this place was not their home after all.

Xia Mian walked up to Lu Zechuan, softly saying, "Let’s go!"

Lu Zechuan responded with a hum, the two of them holding hands as they walked down the stone steps. Before taking a few steps, Ding Cheng approached from the opposite direction.

"Miss Xia." Ding Cheng smiled slightly at Xia Mian, "I want to leave."

Xia Mian raised an eyebrow, "Are you taking us with you?"

Ding Cheng nodded, "Yes, since I brought you in, it’s only right for me to take you out again."

Xia Mian smiled, "Alright, I’ll go find my mom."

As for Ding Cheng, at this moment, Xia Mian couldn’t bring herself to hate her.

After all, back during the Inch’s peril, Ding Cheng had already saved Song Juan’s life and actively helped them find their way. The grievances between the two sides were more or less leveled.

Considering that Song Juan might now be with Xia Zhun, the two haven’t seen each other for many years, and with the excitement of newfound reunion, they probably dislike being disturbed. Xia Mian chose to find Song Juan by herself, letting Ding Cheng and Lu Zechuan wait for news at the Listening Wind Tower.

The Divine Manor was large, and Xia Mian didn’t know where Song Juan and Xia Zhun had gone.

Since being with Xia Zhun, Song Juan’s aura had been concealed by Xia Zhun.
