You Meng informs Su Changfeng that his disciple, Wang Junyi, has been imprisoned in Chenguang Hall for breaking rules. Su Changfeng confronts the Emperor, who feigns ignorance but eventually releases Wang Junyi after Su Changfeng shows a rare sign of deference. Upon seeing Wang Junyi injured, Su Changfeng vows revenge against the Emperor, who worries about Su Changfeng's growing power.

Given Wang Junyi’s current physical condition, he indeed needs some time to recover. However, this means Su Changfeng cannot immediately figure out Wang Junyi’s purpose for coming here, and anxiously waiting is certainly not something Su Changfeng can accept.

Therefore, Su Changfeng directly took out a Fate Fruit that You Meng had been desperately seeking, and stuffed it into Wang Junyi’s mouth.

The Fate Fruit not only helps cultivators enhance their power, but also heals injuries.

"Something so precious and rare, and you just let him eat it like that? His injuries will fully heal with a few days of rest. What you did was entirely destructive to something so valuable." You Meng looked at Su Changfeng with discontent, in her view, using the Fate Fruit just for healing was a complete waste.

"My belongings, I can give them to whoever I want, use them however I wish, it shouldn’t concern you, right?" Su Changfeng said calmly.

You Meng was at a loss, she had divulged her secret to Su Changfeng to obtain the Fate Fruit and even opened up to him wholeheartedly, but she hadn’t received anything.

Wang Junyi only suffered flesh wounds, which would heal after a few days of rest, yet Su Changfeng still fed him a Fate Fruit. How could she not be angry?

"You must understand, if he were to take the Fate Fruit in a normal state, it could absolutely enhance his power. But now that you’ve given it to him while he’s injured, the value of the Fate Fruit cannot be fully realized." You Meng explained.

"If I want him to enhance his power, I can naturally give him another Fate Fruit, so don’t worry yourself over nothing." Su Changfeng replied.

Upon hearing this, You Meng felt like she had a mouthful of old blood stuck in her chest. He was very generous toward Wang Junyi but especially stingy toward herself, leaving her confused as to what Su Changfeng was thinking.

"You... You’re truly unreasonable." You Meng glared fiercely at Su Changfeng.

With the aid of the Fate Fruit, Wang Junyi quickly regained consciousness, and when he opened his eyes to see You Meng, his expression became very complex.

"Why... Why are you here?" Wang Junyi stared at You Meng, full of fear.

Su Changfeng frowned, unsure of what was happening with him.

You Meng was also confused, what did he mean, was she really that terrifying?

"This is my home, why shouldn’t I be here?" You Meng replied calmly.

"Master, her brother charged into the Changfeng Sect, killed sect disciples, and fought a decisive battle with Master Aunt, claiming he would take her away." Wang Junyi said anxiously while gripping Su Changfeng’s hand.

Brother? Could it be Yu Changfeng?

Su Changfeng had earlier wondered why Yu Changfeng wasn’t beside You Meng, never expecting he would run off to the Changfeng Sect!

Taking Chen Qingqing, was he planning to use her to threaten him into handing over the Fate Fruit?

"You Meng, I didn’t expect you to have such tactics." Su Changfeng looked at You Meng with ice-cold eyes.

You Meng’s expression didn’t change in the slightest, as the event had nothing to do with her, she naturally wasn’t guilty.

To be honest, You Meng couldn’t quite comprehend Yu Changfeng’s silent departure, but now she finally knew what he was doing.

"I’m completely unaware of what Yu Changfeng’s done, do you believe me?" You Meng said.

"Trust you? You know how much you want the Fate Fruit. It’s only natural that Yu Changfeng intends to use Chen Qingqing to threaten me for it, isn’t it?" Su Changfeng accused while stepping toward You Meng.

Since Chen Qingqing followed Su Changfeng to the Tianyuan Continent, Su Changfeng certainly wouldn’t let her encounter problems here. Otherwise, how would he explain to Chen Qingqing’s mother upon returning in the future?

"I am not related to Yu Changfeng as siblings, nor am I aware of his plans." You Meng stated.

"Tell me, where is he now?" Su Changfeng asked coldly.

You Meng shook her head, saying seriously: "At this point, I won’t hide it from you. We truly have no relation; he’s a Primordial Master from Dongling, so I can’t interfere with his actions. I didn’t even know he’d target your sister, let alone his whereabouts."

Su Changfeng looked at You Meng coldly, seemingly trying to discern something from her expression.

However, You Meng’s expression didn’t change at all, seemingly without any deceit.

"Instead of suspecting me here, you should quickly find Yu Changfeng. Having captured your sister for the Fate Fruit, for now, she shouldn’t be in danger." You Meng suggested.

"Master, when I arrived, Master Aunt was going to battle him. It’s been so long, you’d better hurry and find her." Wang Junyi urged.

Su Changfeng turned to Wang Junyi and said: "Then rest here, once you’re healed, head back to the Changfeng Sect, and don’t stay in Xingluo. If you’re captured again, my troubles will only increase. Also, don’t forget to take Baili Luoyuan with you."

Although Wang Junyi isn’t clear what kind of crisis Xingluo is facing, nor what transpired between Su Changfeng and Emperor, since Su Changfeng instructed him, he followed them obediently.

"Master, please ensure Master Aunt is rescued safely."

"Nonsense, I’ll definitely save her!" Su Changfeng was about to leave the room when he suddenly paused, seemingly thinking of something.

Yu Changfeng is after all a Primordial Level expert. Saving Chen Qingqing from him while ensuring her safety isn’t easy given Su Changfeng’s current power.

"You must’ve told Yu Changfeng about me having the Fate Fruit, right?" Su Changfeng said calmly.

You Meng indeed mentioned this matter to Yu Changfeng, but she hadn’t expected Yu Changfeng to actually do this.

Regarding Su Changfeng’s question, You Meng understood what Su Changfeng wanted to say.

"I understand, since this got revealed from me, I can join you to resolve it." You Meng offered.

So, the two of them swiftly left Chenguang Hall.

The Emperor, receiving the news quickly, was quite perplexed. Why did they suddenly leave? Clearly something happened, and for both to leave together, it must be something significant.

"Did any news come from Changfeng Sect?" The Emperor summoned his subordinate and asked.

"Yu Changfeng went to Changfeng Sect, killed people, and declared he’ll take away Su Changfeng’s sister." the subordinate reported; this news had just been received, fortunately, they had spies at Changfeng Sect, otherwise they’d really be clueless.

"Yu Changfeng went to Changfeng Sect and captured Su Changfeng’s sister? What does he mean by this?" the Emperor said, frowning.
