章節 257: Severing Ties

In Silver Sword City, despite Wu Ningli offering to wait until Wu Ling returned home to hear their decisions, neither Yao Meifeng nor Su Yao needed more than an evening to consider the arrangements Wu Ningli had proposed. 

Yao Meifeng had already firmly set her heart on Wu Ling and in the time since he left on his expedition, Wu Ningli had become a more comforting maternal presence in her life than her own birth mother had ever been. Formally joining the family was something she could accept even if things never worked out between her and Wu Ling. 

Things weren't much different for Su Yao. Her life had taken a dramatic turn when Wu Ling brought her to the Bamboo Silk House but in her mind, it was only a turn for the better. She'd gained a form of freedom and a growing sense of control of her own destiny in the shadows of the back of the sect.
