Severing ties with family to marry the young marshal, his whole family chases me to the crematorium.

Chapter 54: Wife-killing

Shen Qingyao sensed the yin energy behind her and, without thinking, rolled to the side. At the same time, the copper coin sword in her hand flew rapidly behind her.

However, the Yin energy rushed over extremely fast, and Shen Qingyao's arm was unfortunately scratched, making a hissing sound as black Yin energy oozed from the wound.

As Shen Qingyao was grazed by the yin energy, Leng Yueming's robe was also slashed by Shen Qingyao's copper coin sword, leaving a large hole.

Leng Yueming frowned and looked at Shen Qingyao with hostility, his beautiful peach blossom eyes showing a hint of anger.

"Little girl, did your master teach you this reckless fighting style?"

Shen Qingyao's wound was corroded by the Yin energy, and the intense pain made her frown.

Shen Qingyao didn't want to pay any attention to Leng Yueming's words. She only hated that her cultivation level was too low, and she couldn't avenge her master and senior brothers and sisters.

Just as Shen Qingyao had an extreme thought, thinking that even if she couldn't kill Leng Yueming, she would still severely injure him before she died.

Leng Yueming chuckled, raised his hand and beckoned to Shen Qingyao. The Yin energy from her wounds, like obedient children, rushed towards Leng Yueming.

With the yin energy no longer affecting the wound, Shen Qingyao's pain lessened considerably, and soon it was just a superficial superficial injury.

However, Shen Qingyao did not know what Leng Yueming was planning, so she dared not relax her vigilance.

"Yaoyao."

Just then, Shen Qingyao heard a very familiar voice, and her eyes instantly reddened.

Turning around, Shen Qingyao saw the person she had longed for in both her lives.

She stood on the steps, her light blue dress swaying gently in the breeze, her long black hair neatly pinned up with a jade hairpin.

The yellowish light in the Taoist temple shone on Xia Ran, adding to her mysterious and aloof aura.

"Master!"

Shen Qingyao ran towards Xia Ran, her red eyes instantly filled with tears as she threw herself into Xia Ran's arms.

Xia Ran gently patted Shen Qingyao's back, her eyes overflowing with heartache, and her eyes were slightly red.

"Master, I...I miss you so much!"

Shen Qingyao leaned on Xia Ran's shoulder and cried out all the grievances she had suffered in her past and present lives.

Upon receiving Xia Ran's warning look, Leng Yueming, who was in mid-air, vanished instantly.

"Yaoyao, why are you back?"

Xia Ran glanced at Si Jingnian, who had fainted at the door, and her lips twitched involuntarily.

"Master, I came back to see you because I missed you."

Before Shen Qingyao had finished crying, Xia Ran took out a handkerchief and, with a look of disgust, haphazardly wiped her face.

Shen Qingyao, who originally had countless grievances in her heart, had all her pent-up frustrations disappear in just a few words from her.

"Did you get bullied outside, so you came back to complain?"

Xia Ran was completely unmoved by Shen Qingyao's attempts to be cute. She pushed Shen Qingyao away with a look of disgust and slowly walked towards Si Jingnian at the door.

"Tsk tsk tsk, Shen Qingyao, you've really grown up! You secretly found a man outside and got married without even coming back to tell your master and grandmaster. You really are a hundred pounds, and ninety-nine pounds of that is rebellious!"

Xia Ran's sharp gaze made Shen Qingyao shudder and subconsciously swallow.

"Master, the situation is special."

"Stop making excuses! Just admit it, you're a traitor. I raised you with my own hands, and you got married without my knowledge! You've truly broken my heart!"

Xia Ran glared at Shen Qingyao with annoyance, then turned around and walked inside with her hands behind her back, looking as if she didn't want to pay any attention to Shen Qingyao at all.

"Master..."

"Shut up!"

"It's really because of special circumstances."

"Excuses! I won't listen!"

"..."

Shen Qingyao stood helplessly in the courtyard, looking at Xia Ran's back and then at Si Jingnian lying at the door. She was caught in a dilemma, unsure whether to go in or not.

"Leng Yueming, bring that kid in."

Xia Ran's voice rang out, and the vanished Leng Yueming reappeared beside Si Jingnian in the next moment. With a wave of his hand, Si Jingnian floated up into the air.

Upon seeing this, Shen Qingyao was overjoyed and hurriedly ran into the house to chase after Xia Ran.

"Master, please don't be angry, okay?"

Xia Ran lay on the chaise lounge with her eyes closed, completely ignoring Shen Qingyao.

"Master..."

Just when Shen Qingyao thought Xia Ran wouldn't pay attention to her for a while, a familiar voice rang in her ears.

"Yaoyao, the kid you brought back is no ordinary person."

"Master, you're finally willing to talk to me!"

Upon hearing Xia Ran's voice, Shen Qingyao was as happy as a child, her face beaming with a blissful smile.

Xia Ran rolled her eyes at Shen Qingyao, took out a box of ointment from her bosom and tossed it to Shen Qingyao, then pointed to the wound that had just been burned by Leng Yueming's yin energy.

"How did you end up marrying that guy? Do you even know what his destiny is?"

Shen Qingyao shook her head blankly. Before she and Si Jingnian became husband and wife, she could only see a very superficial aspect of his destiny.

But after they became a couple, she couldn't see anything about him anymore.

"Master, is there something wrong with his destiny?"

Xia Ran couldn't help but raise her hand and give Shen Qingyao a sharp rap on the head, her tone becoming more stern.

"You dare to marry him without even understanding his destiny? Is this how your master taught you?"

Shen Qingyao covered her head, lowered her head in grievance, and pouted, not daring to say a word back.

“The situation was special at the time. I wanted to sever ties with the Shen family, so the only way to do that was to get married and break free from the Shen family’s fortune.”

"Master, isn't that what you meant by giving me that jade pendant?"

Shen Qingyao muttered under her breath, somewhat unconvinced, but unexpectedly received another sharp rap on the head from Xia Ran.

Xia Ran already knew that Shen Qingyao would suffer injustice in the Shen family when she followed the Shen family down the mountain.

That's why they gave Shen Qingyao a jade pendant when she went down the mountain, so that when she wanted to completely break away from the Shen family, she could separate herself from the Shen family's fortune by getting married.

Xia Ran just didn't expect that Shen Qingyao's marriage partner would be someone with such a special destiny.

"Did I tell you to marry a man whose fate I can't even see?"

Seeing that Xia Ran was really angry, Shen Qingyao immediately shut her mouth and didn't dare to say another word.

"This kid's fate is to bring misfortune to his wife."

"A wife-killer?"

Shen Qingyao immediately lowered her hand from her head, staring at Xia Ran in shock, her mouth slightly agape, momentarily forgetting to close it.

"It's not the typical case of someone who is destined to bring misfortune to their wife. To be precise, his destiny belongs to the Wuqu Star, and people with this destiny are not ordinary. They are either regional overlords or generals who are renowned throughout the land."

"But he was destined to be without a partner, and even if he had one, he would surely die young."

"As for you... it's a miracle you've survived this long."

Xia Ran glanced at Shen Qingyao with a faint smile in her eyes.

But Shen Qingyao turned pale upon hearing these words, her eyes filled with helplessness.
