Chapter 346: Creating More Hate for Feng Tianlan

“Miss Feng, Cheng Ping was injured because of me. I will bear all responsibility and punishment,” Lin Suyin replied calmly.

Those who read between the lines will know that she was doing everything she could to get into Feng Tianlan’s good books. Others who don’t will still consider Lin Suyin as an incredibly kind and noble lady who holds no grudges.

Feng Tianlan hummed matter-of-factly without betraying much emotion.

Lin Suyin could not help but frown at Feng Tianlan’s apathy toward her. Wasn’t Feng Tianlan still too guarded around her? Hadn’t she done enough?

“Miss Lin, just look at that attitude of hers!”

Lin Suyin took a deep breath to compose herself. “Alright, let’s set off and continue our search for the herb. We will not speak of this matter ever again.”

Feng Tianlan looked at those who wanted to reprimand her. Her piercing look made her haters shuffle backward. Upon realizing what they had done, they quickly retraced their steps in defiance.

Zhang Tiancheng laughed, amused at the comical reactions from these people.

“Miss Feng!” Lin Suyin called out to stop Feng Tianlan from leaving. “Since we cannot be teammates, then let us at least abide by the rules. My team will not give in if we find the Spiritual Grass first. After all, I have to be responsible for my people.”

“As you please.” Feng Tianlan remained aloof, devoid of the slightest emotion.

Lin Suyin stared at Feng Tianlan’s vanishing silhouette. Her beautiful eyebrows remained slightly creased as Feng Tianlan’s words lingered in her head. Her reply was feathery light, almost fleeting. It was as if Feng Tianlan has never taken her seriously from the start.

Tu Xiupei followed behind the distressed lady as she witnessed the events that unfolded. Her lips crooked into an evil smile, and she said, “Well, well. If it isn’t the young lady of the Lin family.”

“You are…” Upon hearing her name, Lin Suyin turned as her gaze fell on Tu Xiupei.

Tu Xiupei ran up and grabbed Lin Suyin’s hands enthusiastically. “Sister Lin, I am Feng Xiupei, Feng Tianlan’s sister. We met when we were little!”

“Feng Xiupei?” Lin Suyin grew suspicious.

“But when I returned, I heard that, after Feng Tianlan had taken charge of the household, only two members were left alive. However, Feng Xiang, the second member of the family, was also banished and banned from using the family name. ”

Lin Suyin despised Tu Xiupei from the bottom of her heart. Tu Xiupei had long been banished from the Feng family and stripped of the family name. Yet, here she was, shamelessly introducing herself as a member of the Feng Clan.

Tu Xiupei concealed her rage under her thick skin. She pressed, “Sister Lin, I have something to say. It is about His Highness.”

“Pardon me, but I am not interested.” Lin Suyin did not want to have anything to do with Tu Xiupei. First of all, Tu Xiupei was not of her caliber. Why should she get caught up with someone she despised? Second, she needed to win Feng Tianlan’s trust. This meant that she could never be friends with Tu Xiupei.

“What if it’s about the woman whom His Highness has brought back to his place?”

Lin Suyin stiffened for a moment. Then, she eyed Tu Xiupei with suspicion. Seeing that Tu Xiupei was about to turn and leave, Lin Suyin couldn’t suppress her need for an answer. She followed her until no one else was in sight then asked, “Do you know her?”

“It was Feng Tianlan,” Tu Xiupei answered straightforwardly, cutting right to the chase. It was no secret that Lin Suyin was in love with Si Mobai.

Seeing how her tactic to befriend Feng Tianlan had failed, Tu Xiupei turned to Plan B, which was predicated on the fact that all women succumbed to jealousy. By borrowing Lin Suyin’s hands to finish Feng Tianlan off, Tu Xiupei was more than happy to make even more enemies for her nemesis.

Lin Suyin frowned. She seemingly found this statement a hard one to believe.

“The day that Feng Tianlan faked her death was also the same day that His Highness carried a woman into his manor. Also, we should not forget what happened to my father. If the Wargod had not offered his help, do you think that Feng Tianlan could have done what she did? The prison is the territory of the mighty Wargod. How could Feng Tianlan have ever entered that place without his permission?”

Flashbacks flooded Tu Xiupei’s mind. Horrifying memories of what she’d gone through returned as vivid images. She remembered how she had been forced into having intercourse with five disgusting me one by one. Then, later on, all at once.

That night she had seen hell. She’d sworn to return to Feng Tianlan everything she’d suffered one thousandfold!
