Chapter 16: Sword of Feilai

Not only did Yun Ruoyao and Yi Qianying fail to injure Yun Ruoyao, they even caused Pei Ziao to fall into the lake and fall into a coma.

The servants who followed them on their way carried the unconscious Pei Ziao into the carriage before carrying him down the mountain.

Along the way, the faces of Yun Ruoyao and Yi Qianying were grim. They did not know how they would be responsible for the incident, and Yi Qianying looked extremely shaken as she tried to guard Pei Ziao.

Yun Ruoyan faced the window, seemingly unconcerned. He only glanced at the other three people on the carriage from time to time, a small smile dancing on his lips.

In her past life, she was the only one panicking at the moment, and the other two girls were only there for the show. This time, their identities were reversed, and he became an innocent bystander. It seemed like heaven finally pitied him and gave him a chance to take revenge.

His gaze was fixed on Pei Ziao's body. Perhaps because of how cold the lake was, his handsome face turned blue and white, and his body would tremble and shiver uncontrollably.

For the sake of getting married to the Yun family, he was even willing to plunge into a half-frozen lake for the sake of an ugly and useless girl like her. Pei Ziao really gave his all for this purpose, and it was no wonder that his past had been deceived by his antics. As soon as he thought about this, Yun Ruoyan frowned her nose and looked away.

“Okay, what should we do? Young Master Pei is still not awake! Could something have happened to her?” Yi Qianying exclaimed as she tried to wipe her wet hair with her handkerchief.

“The lake was so cold that Young Master Pei must have been cold to death. Look how white his face is! Looks like it will be a severe disease at least.” Yun Ruoyao's face was filled with worry.

As soon as the two of them finished talking, they turned their heads towards Yun Ruoyan simultaneously.

“What are you looking at me like that, sister?” Yun Ruoyan asked, pretending to be surprised. "If she's sick, you should take her to a doctor, and I'm not a doctor."

The faces of Yun Ruoyao and Yi Qianying were filled with shock and disbelief at his words.

“Sister, are you not at all worried about Young Master Pei?” Yun Ruoyao asked. “He's always been kind to you, and the reason he jumped into the lake is to save you! As your sister, I even thought you two were close to getting married!”

"Sister, your eyesight must have let you down," Yun Ruoyan quickly replied, looking towards Yi Qianying and Pei Ziao. “Clearly, Qianying is closer to Young Master Pei. I even heard that, on the day he was convicted of stealing pearl jewelry, Young Master Pei secretly brought him some delicious pieces to stifle his hunger. Ruoyao, you should open your eyes wider.”

As soon as Yi Qianying heard these words, her face immediately flushed red, and she was just about to speak when the servants spoke from outside.

"Young lady, we're back home."

The carriage stopped right then and there, and Yun Ruoyan quickly jumped up. But before she could get out the door, Yi Qianying clutched her hand. “Are you just going to leave? What about Young Master Pei?”

"Send him back to Pei's estate, of course." Yun Ruoyan tilted her head. "What else are you planning, sister?"

Facing Yun Ruoyan's straightforwardness, Yi Qianying was clearly at a loss for words. Based on his understanding of Yun Ruoyan, the fact that Pei Ziao had ended up in such a miserable state because he was trying to help her would definitely make him feel responsible for this state of affairs, and she would definitely agree to even a marriage proposal from him at this time.

However, Yun Ruoyan who was standing in front of him looked completely unmoved.

"Young Master Pei jumped into the lake on your behalf, so don't you think you should stay behind to look after him, Sister?" Yi Qianying asked with a huff.

This Yun Ruoyan's words were truly sincere, she had no intention of making herself mired in the false pretenses that Pei Ziao and Yi Qianying seemed to possess.

Given their matching skills and talents, it was a pity if they were not together.

“More, I myself also fell into the lake.” Yun Ruoyan pointed at her soaked clothes. “If I do not return to my residence to get a change of clothes, I myself can fall ill.”

As soon as he finished speaking, he ignored the two girls and quickly walked over to the Yun plantation, leaving Yi Qianying and Yun Ruoyan to stare at each other.

When she returned to her room, Peony and Xi Lan hurriedly asked about what had happened after seeing her appearance as they prepared a bathtub and dry clothes for her.

"I fell in love with a scheme, but it didn't end too badly for it." Yun Ruoyan dismissed her servant as she took off her wet clothes and entered the pocket dimension of her bracelet.

"Qiu~" As soon as Yun Ruoyan entered the dimension, the mystical beast Qiuqiu jumped onto his lap, staring at him with wide yellow eyes.

"Congratulations, madam, you have obtained an enormous treasure today," Qiuqiu chirped happily, and then stood upright on two legs and danced the happy little jig.

Yun Ruoyan knew that Qiuqiu was talking about the Feilai Sword, and it was a famous weapon even among the ones listed on the family list, and it was a weapon, but what really made him smile was how excited Qiuqiu was about it.

"Mistress, look!" Qiuqiu's body moved in a certain direction. Yun Ruoyan looked in that direction, and amidst the mist, she saw a strange purple light. Yun Ruoyan walked over and looked at Sword Feilai, hovering in the air.

It was crescent-shaped, encompassed with a faint purple light, and made of black iron. As he walked closer, Yun Ruoyan could feel a hint of coldness emanating from his sword.

"Madam, as far as I'm concerned, the Feilai Sword is razor sharp and can change its shape at will, but I've never heard of it having a cold aura either ..." Qiuqiu shook his sword, his expression solemn.

"Perhaps it was because it was hidden in a half-frozen lake for so long that it caused some cold properties in the area." There were not many sword introductions on the family list, and Yun Ruoyan could only guess what was really going on.

"That's a possibility." Qiuqiu propped up his lower jaw with claws, thinking.

At this moment, Yun Ruoyan continued walking ever closer and closer to the sword, as if there was a magnetic attraction pulling her forward.

Unknowingly, he stepped forward once more, slowly stretching his hands in that direction.

"Mrs, careful!" Qiuqiu, who had fallen unconscious, suddenly shouted loudly.

"Ouch!" At the same time Qiuqiu spoke, Yun Ruoyan let out a sad cry.

As his hand crept closer and closer to the blade, the blade attacked him, almost as if it was a ferocious beast that suddenly jolted awake.

All he felt was a purple mist, and his fingers suddenly turned cold. There was a cut on the middle finger of his right hand, about three inches in length, from which blood began to flow.
