Doomed by Fate, My Sect Urges My Comeback - Chapter 176

He Wencheng stripped off his wedding attire and publicly announced the cancellation of the wedding, showing a resolute attitude that gave Bai Roujing no face at all.

The wedding had been decreed by the emperor himself. With the situation now in chaos, the royal guards quickly arrived to investigate and intended to take He Wencheng to the palace for trial.

As the royal guards arrived on horseback, the townspeople scattered in panic.

He Wencheng once again stood in front of Mo Yu. “This is all my doing; it has nothing to do with Mo Yu. If you must arrest someone, take me. Let her go.”

Mo Yu thought, …It never had anything to do with me in the first place!

Bai Roujing sneered, her veil now trampled and muddy. “He Wencheng was seduced by this woman, willingly defied the emperor’s decree, and regrets canceling the wedding. How can she be innocent? They should both be taken. He Wencheng, I want you to regret this for the rest of your life!”

He Wencheng had always been indecisive and muddled through life, but now he felt a rare clarity.

He knew what he wanted and what he wanted to protect.

It felt like, for the first time, he was living for himself.

“No, I won’t regret it.”

Bai Roujing’s eyes turned venomous and sinister.

“Then die. Defying the emperor’s decree means death!”

Bai Roujing took a step back, her face turning cold and indifferent, as if her earlier passionate confession was merely a performance.

In reality, it was.

She had no feelings for any of the men in this world; they were just her playthings.

If He Wencheng didn’t obey, he could die.

The system’s voice echoed, “What a pity. If He Wencheng were obedient, you could help him break through and ascend together.”

Bai Roujing sneered, “Yes, He Wencheng will regret this. So what if Mo Yu is talented? Even if she reaches the Tribulation Phase at fifteen, she’ll be stuck there forever, unable to become a saint. In this world, only I can become immortal. These mortals, thinking they can stand in my way, are laughable!”

Mo Yu rubbed her ears.

Listening to this woman brag every day was a torment to her ears.

The captain of the royal guards waved his hand. “Take them both!”

He Wencheng didn’t resist but panicked when they moved to seize Mo Yu.

“This is all my doing. It has nothing to do with Mo Yu. Take only me…”

The captain’s face darkened. “Your Highness, defying the emperor’s decree is punishable by execution. The emperor is sparing you because of your royal blood. Don’t push your luck!”

His cold voice and icy gaze showed no respect for He Wencheng.

Bai Roujing smiled coldly.

Well done!

Just kill these adulterers!

Suddenly, two guards approaching Mo Yu exclaimed.

“It’s this esteemed person!”

The captain finally looked at Mo Yu. Recognizing her face, his expression changed instantly.

“It’s you!”

The captain dismounted quickly, bowing respectfully to Mo Yu.

“Esteemed one, it’s an honor. We didn’t expect to meet you here… Please forgive our offense. You may leave. I will report this to His Majesty.”

Mo Yu nodded slightly, maintaining a mysterious demeanor. “No problem.”

Bai Roujing’s eyes widened in shock.

What is happening?

Why are the royal guards…

“What are you doing? She seduced He Wencheng! Arrest her now!”

The captain cleared his throat. “Miss Bai, perhaps you don’t know. Our royal family has recently joined a second-tier sect. The royal family is selecting members to enter the sect for training, and this young lady is a direct disciple of the sect leader!”

The captain then repeatedly apologized to Mo Yu.

“Esteemed one, please forgive our offense. You are free to leave. I will report this to His Majesty.”

His attitude toward He Wencheng also softened, showing more respect.

“Your Highness, please come with us.”

Recalling Mo Yu’s commanding presence when she led the sect disciples, the captain knew that she was someone many would want to befriend. If Prince Wen’s actions moved her, the emperor might not be angry but rather supportive.

Mo Yu smiled and waved her hand, “Alright.”

She then turned and leisurely walked out of the alley.

Bai Roujing was dumbfounded.

“System, what is going on? I feel like Mo Yu has more of a protagonist’s aura than I do. Now the entire nation is part of Tuo Yue Sect. How am I supposed to play this game? You said to build a team, gather family forces, and seize the Hidden realm. How can I do that now?”

The system began to flatter her again.

“Host, look at your protagonist’s aura. So many men will bow at your feet. This is just a small setback. Your male leads, like Luan Ruo from Jinyang Sect and Qin Lingfeng, are all willing to fight for you. Giving up on He Wencheng is no big deal. You should focus on tasks and get rewards, then connect with Hua Sheng.”

Bai Roujing regained her confidence, straightening up and chasing after Mo Yu with a radiant smile.

“Mo Yu!”

Mo Yu paused.

What now? A challenge?

Bai Roujing’s attitude surprised her. She wore a bright smile, looking cheerful, not at all like someone seeking trouble.

“Mo Yu, don’t worry. It’s just a man. If you like him, you can have him. It’s been a while since our last encounter at the Opportunity Tower. Your cultivation seems to have improved significantly.”

Bai Roujing secretly assessed Mo Yu but couldn’t see through her cultivation at all this time.

Before, she could see through Mo Yu’s entry-level cultivation, but now Mo Yu appeared completely unfathomable, giving her an increasingly mysterious feeling.

“System, what is Mo Yu’s cultivation level now? I can’t see through it at all. She’s about sixteen, right? She can’t be higher than me.”

The system replied, “Surface level, Nascent Soul Stage, First Rank.”

The system’s words almost made Bai Roujing bite her tongue.

“What? Nascent Soul Stage? First Rank? Are you joking? She’s only sixteen! Is she some old monster who’s reversed her age?”

Mo Yu, overhearing her, thought, Go on, keep insulting me.

Though Bai Roujing’s thoughts were hidden, her face showed anger and frustration.

Mo Yu pretended not to notice. “I just happened to encounter some fortuitous opportunities in the higher levels, which boosted my cultivation.”

Bai Roujing inwardly fumed, Opportunities? Those were all supposed to be mine!
