Chapter 273 Three Undercover Agents
"Boom...boom...boom...!"
The sounds of violent impact and shattering echoed through the Valley of No Return, as Falcon Return vented her rage. Her eyes widened in fury as she smashed objects throughout the valley to pieces.
"Master Jungui, are you alright?" The maid Menglian cautiously stepped forward and asked with concern. However, Jungui glared at her fiercely, his eyes filled with indifference and anger.
"Are you mocking me?" Jun Gui's voice was icy cold, as if it came from the depths of hell.
"Master Jungui, Menglian dares not...!" Menglian looked at Jungui in horror and retreated repeatedly, but Jungui still grabbed her and held her tightly in his hand.
"Dare not? Hahaha...!" Jun Gui laughed maniacally, her eyes turning crazed and twisted. She gripped Meng Lian's neck tightly, making it impossible for her to breathe. Meng Lian struggled in agony, but couldn't utter a single sound of pleading.
"Master, please spare Menglian! Menglian is only concerned about you...!" Zhi Mo pleaded from the side.
"Get out of my way...!" Jun Gui kicked Zhi Mo, knocking her to the ground. Then, she continued to choke Meng Lian's neck tightly, as if she wanted to vent all her anger on this poor maid.
"I don't need you to tell me, I know what you're thinking! Meng Lian is just another pitiful me...!" Jun Gui's voice was low and hoarse, filled with endless self-mockery and helplessness. Her gaze passed through the crowd and landed in the distance, as if she saw her former self. A deep sorrow was revealed in her eyes, as if the whole world had abandoned her.
Jun Gui harbored special feelings for Lin Yin, feelings that transcended the ordinary bond between master and servant. She was willing to give everything for him, including her life. However, Lin Yin seemed oblivious to her deep emotions. She silently protected him, yet dared not easily reveal them. This hidden love weighed heavily on her heart like a mountain, making it hard for her to breathe.
Falcon returned to Lin Yin, betraying Emperor Yuan Shun and the End of the World, becoming a counter-spy for him, all to help him find the Divine Source as soon as possible. She believed there was a special understanding between them, that he would understand her choice. However, reality slapped her hard in the face. Lin Yin actually attacked her because of a woman, causing her immense pain and disappointment.
Her heart ached as if it were being torn apart; tears welled in her eyes, but she tried hard not to let them fall. She told herself she couldn't cry, couldn't show weakness, couldn't let others see her vulnerability. However, the pain in her heart could not be concealed; her voice trembled, filled with endless sorrow and despair.
Falcon was filled with resentment and frustration, and she vented all her anger and grievances on Meng Lian.
Seeing that Falcon Gui was about to kill Meng Lian, Zhi Mo was extremely anxious and risked stepping forward to plead, "Master Falcon Gui, please have mercy! If this continues, she will really be reduced to ashes!"
Upon hearing Zhi Mo's pleas, Jun Gui was jolted awake, as if from a dream. She realized that her actions had spiraled out of control, and if things continued, the consequences would be unimaginable.
She took a deep breath, struggling to control her impulse, and slowly released her hand, freeing Menglian. Then, he turned and left, leaving Menglian and Zhimo alone.
Zhi Mo tenderly helped the pitiful Meng Lian up and gently comforted her, "It's alright, don't be afraid."
Falcon returned to her seat, lost in thought. She knew she couldn't kill Meng Lian, otherwise she wouldn't be able to explain herself to her master. Moreover, she needed to risk everything again to help Master Lin Yin find out why Yuan Shun had massacred Fangcao Village. This matter was extremely difficult for her, because if Yuan Shun could keep it from her, it meant he didn't fully trust her, which put her in a very awkward position.
