: The Qui’s Family Decision Both the Feng family and Qui family were busy all day; neither dared relax.

Clues about Ning Bi’s whereabouts were found later that evening.

They didn’t know her exact location, but they knew the general area where she was hiding and had managed to secure the perimeter.

Juntian immediately took people to conduct a search as soon as he heard the news.

He wanted to find Ning Bi as soon as possible.

Ming Xi had wanted to go as well, but he was more worried about Feng Wu, so instead he sent Tian Ya to help with the search.

Tian Ya, for his part, would have preferred to stay and protect Ming Xi, but orders were orders.

magicAfter Ming Xi and Tian Ya left, all the servants were sent to their rooms and ordered not to come out.

Fighting against Death would be extremely dangerous, and having the servants around would only serve as a useless distraction.

The entire Feng estate, including Madam Lan, were kept in the dark about the whole affair.

Father Feng arranged for Ai Lin to accompany Madam Lan.

He was afraid her cries would be earth shattering if she found out.

If Madam Lan knew Feng Wu was being watched by Death, she would cry until the sun and moon dimmed.

It was a difficult situation and no one would have the time to comfort the crying Madam Lan, so it was better to just hide it from the start.

The first half of the night passed without incident but the second half of the night was terrifying.

Once again thunder and lightning rumbled and split the sky.

Nearly all of it was focused on the Qui estate.

The thick layer of lightning would have made weak-hearted people faint from fright.

The Qui family enjoyed what the Feng family had enjoyed that first night.

They spent the entire night bombarded by thunder and lightning and Shui managed to survive thanks to Old Master Qui using all the sacred artifacts the family had in store.

Though Shui survived, the ordeal two nights in a row exhausted her.

She developed a high fever after the storm receded.

The doctor who saw her diagnosed her with severe stress and prescribed fever reducing medicine and antidepressants along with bed rest.

However, her illness had no effect on her circumstance.

Death still stalked her.

The Qui family were paying a high price to keep her alive.

They survived the night, but the next one would depend on luck.

The Qui family could not lose half their net worth for a single Shui.

They could not endanger the entire family for one daughter, so for the family’s future, they would have to abandon her soon if things did not fix itseLF.

Ultimately, whether or not she could keep her life would depend on her.

Just like every aristocratic family in the country, the Qui family had their share of enemies.

The current situation would pose as an opportUpon hearing Wan Wan’s words Ning Bi’s face froze.

She murmured painfully, “He’s gone Wan Wan.

He’s gone.” “Gone?! What do you mean gone?” Wan Wan was taken aback.

It must be said that Ning Bi’s fiancé was actually Wan Wan’s beloved.

Wan Wan loved her gentle senior, but unfortunately the only one in his heart was Ning Bi.

Wan Wan was a kind girl who understood love couldn’t be forced, so she gracefully bowed out and gave Ning Bi and her senior her blessings.

She knew she had no chance.

She, like her brother, also did not want to see the nuptials.

Both of them decided to take a trip out of the country to avoid the big wedding.

The person she loved deeply was about to marry her good friend.

Even if Wan Wan didn’t hate Ning Bi, having her watch the nuptials while sharing well wishes was too much for her heart to handle.

Wan Wan had only been gone for a few days, but upon returning she was faced with Ning Bi’s miserable appearance, gone was her friend’s normal sunny and happy disposition.

And then to be told her beloved no longer existed?! This was too much.

She had convinced her heart to let go, and it wasn’t something she was going to go back on.

But despite letting him go, her heart still jumped in panic when she heard he was gone.

Her shock filled eyes dared Ning Bi to tell her it was a joke that she and her senior had made up together.

But upon seeing Ning Bi’s heartbroken eyes she knew it wasn’t a joke.

It was true; such an outstanding senior was really gone from the world.

“What happened?! What did you encounter?! How did this come about?!” Wan Cheng asked three questions in quick succession.

Although he didn’t like the guy who stole Ning Bi from him, what he hated more was seeing Ning Bi sad.

He had never seen her without a smile since he’d known her.

Her smile was warm and gentle; a tiny sun that warmed those around her.

It especially warmed him.

Wan Cheng loved Ning Bi so much that he was satisfied just knowing she was happy; he didn’t need anything else in life.

“I can’t tell you right now.

Please help stop the people behind me.

They are trying to kill me!” Ning Bi looked behind her in panic, and sure enough, Juntian and Tian Ya were just coming to line of sight with swords in hand.

She hid behind Wan Cheng, her body trembling in fright.

She was a pitiful image.

It was not OK to bully his beloved.

Wan Cheng immediately readied his guards for a fight.

“Please hand that woman to us.” Juntian stepped forward and said with a serious face upon seeing people step up to protect Ning Bi.

Wan Wan pointed at Juntian and Tian Ya.

“Who are you and why are you bullying Ning Bi? Ning Bi is such a good person, if you’re trying to hurt her, then odds are you must bad people.” Hatred colored her eyes when she thought they may have had something to do with her beloved senior’s death.

Juntian noticed the look but couldn’t understand her reason.

He was sure he didn’t know her, so where did all this animosity come from? He had no idea.

“Hand her over.” Tian Ya’s voice was cold enough to freeze water.

“Not on your life.” Wan Wan glared at Tian Ya and Juntian.

She was worried about Ning Bi being afraid so she said a few words to reassure her, “Don’t worry Ning Bi, Brother and I will protect you.” In Wan Wan’s mind, Ning Bi was a girl who needed someone to love and protect her, so as her friend, Wan Wan had always done so.

“Who are you and why do you want to kill Ning Bi?” Wan Cheng asked.

“I’m Feng Juntian from Feng house.

As for why, it is because that woman has hurt several innocent people out of selfishness.

Killing her will save lives.

Please do not interfere.” “What nonsense! Ning Bi is so kind she wouldn’t even hurt small animals, never mind people!” Wan Wan rebutted.

“It doesn’t matter if you believe it or not.

You must hand her over, otherwise more people will die.” Juntian pointed to Ning Bi with murderous intent in his eyes.

That woman dared hurt his sister; even killing her wouldn’t calm his heart.

But as long as she died, then the strand of Death’s consciousness would disappear and Xiao Wu would be safe.

Ning Bi had to die.
