Ning Fengyi felt her heart had surrendered!
In her heart and eyes, there was only Dugu Zixi, and she could no longer entertain the thought of any other man.
Ning Fengyi gazed at Dugu Zixi with infatuated eyes, and considering her own born-to-be-a-phoenix fate, she arrogantly believed that Dugu Zixi and she were destined to be together, and no one would snatch her man away!
At that mont, Ning Fengyi suddenly saw Dugu Zixi’s gentle gesture of stroking Shen Tianxing’s hair, as if she only then noticed Shen Tianxing standing beside Dugu Zixi.
Ning Fengyi was instantly both angry and hateful.
When she got a clear look at Shen Tianxing’s appearance and saw how beautiful and elegant she was, her hatred grew even stronger.
Thinking about how Shen Tianxing was getting engaged to Dugu Zixi today, about to beco his rightfully betrothed, Ning Fengyi felt so furious inside that she wanted to kill soone.
This little bitch, what right did she have to steal her place?
That place should have been hers! It was ant for her, Ning Fengyi!
Ning Changsheng turned his head and saw his granddaughter Ning Fengyi’s twisted expression and snorted coldly in his heart.
What a fool! She doesn’t even know how to conceal her emotions!
If the journalists present were to capture her current expression, or if any noble lady were to take notice, it would not only ruin her but also bring disgrace upon the Ning Family’s reputation. Outsiders would say that the Ning Family did not know how to raise their daughters.
The mont Ning Changsheng considered these terrible consequences, he imdiately lowered his voice with a hint of sternness and said to Ning Fengyi, "Fengyi, watch your expression. I don’t care what you are thinking right now, but don’t show it. If anything goes wrong, don’t expect to attend this kind of banquet ever again!"
Upon hearing her grandfather’s warning, Ning Fengyi was startled.
She was sowhat clever and quickly hid her facial expression, putting on an obedient look and said to Ning Changsheng with a smile, "Grandpa, I know I was wrong. Rest assured, I will not embarrass you!"
Seeing her revert to an obedient and sensible appearance, all smiles, Ning Changsheng finally felt relieved.
He was afraid she would be a blockhead who wouldn’t understand no matter how much he explained, but luckily she seed receptive to his words. Her intelligence might still be salvageable.
Long Lirong had been eavesdropping on their conversation and also turned to look at Shen Tianxing.
Seeing Shen Tianxing’s sowhat familiar face, Long Lirong felt as though she had seen her sowhere before, but after thinking several tis, she still couldn’t recall where she had seen her.
Could she have rembered wrong?
When Long Lirong turned her head and caught a glimpse of Ning Fengyi’s face, she was startled and then suddenly realized.
So, the fiancée of the young master Dugu bore a resemblance to their Fengyi, no wonder she seed familiar!
That really was a coincidence!
Long Lirong quietly shared this discovery with Ning Changsheng.
Ning Changsheng was also surprised, and his gaze shifted back and forth between Shen Tianxing and Ning Fengyi’s faces, finding the resemblance sowhat unbelievable, "Indeed, they do look alike!"
Upon hearing that she resembled Shen Tianxing, Ning Fengyi was very unhappy, "Grandpa, Grandma, how do I resemble her? She’s just a country bumpkin from the countryside, while I am a lady of noble birth raised delicately in the Capital City. Our deanors are different; how can we look alike?"
Ning Fengyi’s interjection successfully diverted Ning Changsheng and Long Lirong from pursuing the matter further, so they dropped the subject.
In Ning Changsheng’s mind, since this little bitch had crossed Fengyi’s path, she was dood from the start. Whether she resembled Fengyi or not was irrelevant.
It was precisely for this reason that the Ning Family’s discovery of Shen Tianxing’s true identity was further delayed.
The banquet today was an exceedingly joyful occasion for Shen Tianxing.
However, for Ning Fengyi, watching scene after scene of Dugu Zixi and Shen Tianxing’s affectionate interactions was like being bitten by millions of ants—a painfully exquisite tornt.
Her heart harbored an increasing resentnt towards Shen Tianxing, and she finally made a venomous vow to herself to kill her!
Dugu Zixi and Shen Tianxing were both cultivators, highly sensitive to the aura emitted by humans.
When they sensed the intense murderous intent emanating from Ning Fengyi, Dugu Zixi and Shen Tianxing took note of her.
Shen Tianxing, picking up on the bloodline qi-flow from Ning Changsheng, Long Lirong, and Ning Fengyi, imdiately understood.
These three people were her blood relatives!
The girl who shared the strongest blood connection with her and looked at her with a face full of hatred—could she possibly be her twin sister?
Indeed, one raised by the Ning Family, so young, yet her eyes already so vicious.
She has nothing to do with her now, right? Why would she wish for her death so eagerly?
Shen Tianxing recalled the conversation among the Ning Family mbers she had overheard when she was newly reincarnated.
At that ti, Long Lirong had roared, "Throw her out! Quickly throw her out, my goodness, what ’born under a phoenix destiny?’ it looks more like a calamitous star has descended, quick! Kill her! Kill her!"
And that old man from the Ning Family had said, "Master Xuan Yuan is infallible, he could never miscalculate! If this one is no good, isn’t there another well-grown child? We just need to dispose of this three-eyed freak; keeping the other good one will suffice!"
Born under a phoenix destiny?
And then looking at "Crown Prince" Dugu Zixi by her side, haha, she understood—it was for this reason that they wanted her dead!
It seems that those in the Capital City who wanted her dead were indeed dispatched by the Ning Family.
A hint of icy coldness flashed in the depths of Shen Tianxing’s eyes.
She directly activated the Heavenly Eye towards Ning Changsheng and, unsurprisingly, in the Heavenly Eye, she saw Ning Changsheng making a call to another person, instructing them to contact Black Thorn. After one failed assassination attempt, he had even raised the price for Black Thorn to strike again, haha...
People connected by blood had ti and again sought her life!
Even though Shen Tianxing felt no affection for them, her heart couldn’t help but sense chills.
However, those who wish for her death typically don’t live long!
Although the Ning Family had given her life, that debt of gratitude ended the mont they ordered her to be killed.
Now they once again sought her life, and even if she were to act against them, there would be no karmic consequences.
Of course, even if she were to take action against them, she would never allow the Heavenly Dao to catch a hold of her for punishnt.
There were myriad ways to make soone’s life worse than death, without needing her to personally take action.
Dugu Zixi sensed the emotional turbulence within her, reached out to hold her hand, and whispered to her, "Xiaoxing, today is our big day. Don’t let these irrelevant people affect our mood. If there’s anything, let’s deal with it after today, okay?"
