Well, what can I say? It's all self-inflicted. If Nie Xi had just listened and behaved herself, she wouldn't be facing such scrutiny. After all, who would pay too much attention to someone on the brink of death? But now, it’s either marriage or exile.
Tsk tsk, what a poor little thing. Watching a play only to end up getting burned by the flames is quite something. As soon as Nie Xi smiled at her, Yun Zhi Yue felt the urge to speak out. Aware of her situation, she quickly stood up and said she was going to the restroom.
She could avoid the chaos, but she didn’t want to get involved and tire herself out. Although Nie Xi was just a pitiful figure in this dimension, it didn’t mean she was easy to deal with.
Of course, she didn’t actually go to the restroom. Instead, she went up to the second floor and found a quiet terrace to catch her breath while looking over the Feng Family Manor. It was truly magnificent—the lights sparkling against the blue tiles and bricks. The phoenixes were all about making a grand display; even Xiao Jie had to flaunt it like this.
Footsteps approached from behind, but they weren’t familiar. As they got closer, they quickened their pace. Yun Zhi Yue felt exasperated—were they trying to push her off? Please, it was only the second floor; what would happen if she fell? Maybe just a broken bone. Did they really hate her that much?
Just as she was about to turn around and say that they should wait until she was on a higher floor before attempting anything so foolish—after all, life was too precious—she wanted to enjoy her time here at Xiao Jie’s.
But before she could voice her thoughts, a gust of wind swept past her. A stranger from the Feng Clan jumped off right in front of her, clutching their tailbone and screaming, “Ah! Why did you push me? Do you think you can kill someone in broad daylight just because you’re close to Ye Minister?”
Yun Zhi Yue thought, “Having left the heavenly realm for so long, has the phoenix finally become down-to-earth?”
“My tailbone! Someone help! Yun Zhi Yue pushed me off the balcony! Call the police! Get her arrested immediately!”
This shout echoed through the banquet hall, drawing many curious eyes from downstairs. Feng Rujiao frowned and ordered the servants to bring a stretcher. She glanced up at the second floor without showing any anger for her clan member; instead, there was a hint of disappointment on her face.
Yun Zhi Yue stood on the terrace of the second floor, lifted her high heels, and kicked at the railing at waist height. With a smirk, she said, “Stop screaming! With such a tall railing here, is it reasonable for a big man like you to be pushed down by me?”
Those who knew thought he was just trying to vent for his young lady; those who didn’t might think we were in cahoots and tarnishing the Feng Family’s reputation. Tsk tsk, with such a large family, there are bound to be all sorts of oddities.
If this meal continued like this, who knows what else might happen? We Sister Three have taken note of this welcome banquet; now we shall take our leave.
Gasps filled the room. Only Yun Zhi Yue wore high heels but managed to step onto the railing's gap—a move that should have been quite ungraceful—but with her casual demeanor, she stepped confidently onto the highest part of the railing.
With a misstep, she fell into the air. Though it was only from the second floor, it felt as if she were plummeting from the depths of space. The hem of her skirt fluttered around her ankles, revealing a glimpse of her jade-like calf.
Yun Shijiu let out a low chuckle. As everyone's attention was drawn to Yun Zhi Yue, he stepped out of the crowd and effortlessly caught his startled older sister.
After setting her down, he naturally fell in line behind Yun Yue Shi, creating a triangular formation with Sister Three. Despite their arrangement, their demeanor and steps were perfectly synchronized, leaving no room for criticism.
As everyone watched them leave, a soft voice called out, "Yue Yue," causing Yun Zhi Yue to pause momentarily. Ever since she had stopped Nie Xi from calling her sister, this person had taken to calling her "Yue Yue" instead. The tone was choked with feigned grievance, and despite knowing it was an act, she found herself softening time and again.
