Chapter 1359: Settling Scores

No matter what it was, just based on the cultivation Nan Xian had exhibited, he could no longer go against Feng Ruqing as he did just now.

"It doesn't matter whether you are or aren't the Ninth Emperor. I think there is some misunderstanding between us." A flattering smile appeared on the corner of Zong Fu's lips. His gaze was also full of a careful intent of currying favour.

It was better to shamelessly live on than to die well. After all, he was the sect master of the Divine Herbs Sect. It was a position that allowed him to act recklessly on this mainland. If he had just simply died during this assembly, was that not too much of a loss?

Zong Fu understood very well when he should lower his head.

"Yes." Feng Ruqing smiled. "We do indeed have some misunderstandings."

Zong Fu subconsciously sighed in relief. The smile on his face became deeper and without waiting for him to continue speaking, a foot ruthlessly came flying over, bringing along a fierce gust of wind. With a thud, his body once again fell to the ground embarrassingly. His limbs faced the sky and a shoe print could be seen on his face.

Feng Ruqing rolled her sleeve. "The misunderstanding between the Divine Herbs Sect and I runs deep!

"Ten years ago, Gu Zhenyang from the Divine Herbs Sect had snatched my mother away due to his own selfishness and has caused my family of four to be separated for years!

"If it were not for Gu Zhenyang's action of snatching my mother away, she would not have lost her memories and would not have been confined by the Tang family for over ten years. She suffered all kinds of grievances and torture, and in the end, she almost died.

"You have caused my imperial father to be sick from missing my imperial mother for so many years. If it were not for Nan Xian helping me to find the phoenix and whatnot, my imperial father would not be standing here today."

Suyi squinted as she looked at Nan Xian, deep in thought.

'So, that was why he had intentionally snatched away White Phoenix's stuff and made him cry back then?'

Feng Ruqing continued to move forward, closing the distance between them with each step. "If it were not for Gu Zhenyang, I would not have not known that I had a younger brother, and I also would not have allowed him to stay with the Qin family to receive various injuries for so many years and even be insulted by others.

"If it were not for Gu Zhenyang..." Feng Ruqing paused as a coldness flashed in her eyes. "Liu Yun Kingdom would not have lost numerous lives. My maternal grandfather's family also would not have been so pitiful. My mother's Iron-Blooded Troops would not have been prevented from gracing the battlefield for so many years.

"All these were caused by Gu Zhenyang! Now, you are trying to tell me that the Divine Herbs Sect and I have a misunderstanding? Then, there are indeed too many misunderstandings between us!"

Zong Fu raised his head while trembling, looking at Feng Ruqing who was approaching step by step.

He finally understood that Feng Ruqing had not come because of Qin Fei'er. She had come to settle scores with him!

Qin Fei'er was merely one of the reasons she had come to the Divine Herbs Sect!

In the end, even without Qin Fei'er, she would definitely have come to the Divine Herbs Sect anyway.

It was all because there was too deep of a hatred between the Divine Herbs Sect and her!

"However... all those things were done by Gu Zhenyang. He is already dead. How is it related to me?"

Feng Ruqing paused in her tracks as she looked at Zong Fu expressionlessly. "Without the implicit agreement of the Divine Herbs Sect, without the Divine Herbs Sect backing him up, how could just a mere Gu Zhenyang dare to be so blatant, going against the rules and harming the innocent?"

Zong Fu's body trembled lightly and he said nothing more.

"Back then, my imperial mother had defeated Gu Zhenyang and sent him running. Gu Zhenyang was imprisoned because he was suspected of having violated the rules. If you had imprisoned Gu Zhenyang for life, how could everything that had happened after that happen?"

Feng Ruqing questioned him coldly.

With every sentence she said, Zong Fu's body would slouch a little more to the point where he crumbled to the ground, no longer able to stand up again.

Indeed...

If Gu Zhenyang had not appeared, then her mother would not have lost her memory.

If her mother had not lost her memories, all those things would not have happened...
