Resisting the Wind and Splendor

Chapter 129 A lifetime without a chance to rise above it all

Tuoba Feiyuan waited for another half hour, but finally, she couldn't wait any longer and quickly stepped onto the gate of the Prince's Mansion before dark.

No one stopped her.

Everyone knows she is the apple of Prince Jin's eye; who would dare to stop her?

But no one stopped her, and Tuoba Feiyuan became unhappy: "What exactly does Lu Fengjin mean? Why hasn't he come out to see me yet?"

The two guards at the gate said tremblingly, "Miss, the prince doesn't know you're waiting for him."

"I've been walking around here for ages, how could I not know?" Tuoba Feiyuan said angrily. "Didn't you even go and inform them? Are you all dead?"

The two guards immediately felt wronged.

They are certainly not dead.

But she wasn't a guest. If she didn't want to go back to the Prince's mansion, they could wait for her. Why bother announcing anything? She could just go back on her own; no one was stopping her!

However, this woman was notoriously unruly and domineering, so who dared to say a word?

"Miss, I will go and inform the Prince right away." One of them hurriedly entered the room.

Before long, the guard returned, looking very uneasy: "Miss, the Prince said... said that it is your freedom to go wherever you wish..."

"You scoundrel! You're bullying me!"

Tuoba Feiyuan could no longer hold back and went inside. When he arrived at the entrance of Lu Fengjin's Zhuiyue Pavilion and saw the three characters "Zhuiyue Pavilion", he suddenly became furious.

He snatched the sword from the guard outside the pavilion, leaped up, and with a snap, cleaved the plaque above his head in two.

That wasn't enough to vent her anger. After the plaque fell down, she stood on it and stomped on it several times.

The movement was too vigorous, causing her wounds to throb again, making her pale.

When Lu Fengjin came out after hearing the news, he saw her standing on the plaque, looking both angry and resentful.

"Yuan'er!" Seeing that she was still wearing the clothes she wore when she was injured, Lu Fengjin felt a surge of warmth in his heart and immediately went to her.

But when he thought of her resolute pride in following Prince Ning back to his residence, his steps slowed down.

Ultimately, there was resentment in her heart.

"You dog of a man, what do you mean by this?" Finally, when he came out, Tuoba Feiyuan angrily threw down her longsword, strode over, and shouted, "I've been waiting for you for half a day, and you haven't even come out to see me! Do you really not want me anymore? If you don't want me, why did you bring me all the way back from the desert? Are you playing me for a fool!"

"You... waited for me for half a day?" Lu Fengjin was pleasantly surprised: "You... weren't you with the Third Prince...?"

"Wasn't that just to spite you!" Although Prince Ning was deeply in love with her, was Tuoba Feiyuan the kind of woman who would change her mind so easily?

She looked up, glared at Lu Fengjin, her eyes reddening: "If you hadn't always helped Chu Yueli and her brother bully me, would I have bothered to hold a grudge against you?"

"Are you really just angry with me, and not because you've taken a liking to the Third Prince?" Lu Fengjin felt a surge of warmth in his heart; his heart, which had been dead all along, suddenly felt warm again.

"Of course I just wanted to spite you! Although Prince Ning has admired me for a long time, do you think I'm the kind of person who's fickle? You dog of a man, after knowing me for so long, do you really think I'm the same kind of person as Chu Yueli?"

Chu Yueli had just broken off her engagement with Lu Fengjin, and the moment she turned around, she started hooking up with that Mo Wang, even hugging and cuddling at the martial arts tournament.

This matter has spread like wildfire, and even she knows about it!

Fortunately, King Mo was ugly; he was said to be a disfigured monster.

A scoundrel paired with an ugly woman, they really are a match made in heaven!

Thinking of Mo Wang's appearance, which was not even comparable to Lu Fengjin's, Tuoba Feiyuan's resentment finally dissipated somewhat.

Ultimately, Chu Yue is far inferior to her. All she can choose is a disfigured monster. She will never have a chance to rise above her circumstances in this lifetime!
