Xiao Rufeng knew she was not welcomed, but she didn't expect she would be so unpopular in the family. No one in the Xiao family was willing to stick up for her; instead, they joined many outsiders in questioning her where Xiao Rufei was.

She was sent back by the woman named Zhi Po, so she had no idea where Xiao Rufei and those people were, either.

Finally Xiao Rufeng was detained in the dungeon of the Xiao family. Her relatives threatened that if she didn't tell them the whereabouts of Xiao Rufei, she would not be let out.

The dungeon had been set up to be difficult to escape.

Before Xiao Rufeng could think of a way to escape, she heard Xiao Rufei and Lord Seven had returned already. But Xiao Rufei was seriously injured and her life was in danger.

With a joint search and rescue by the Royal School and various major families, the rest of the students also came back one after another.

Xiao Rufei was trapped in a coma all the while. The Xiao family invited plenty of famous healers from all over the continent to treat her, but none of them could cure Xiao Rufei.

Xiao Rufei's mother, driven by great resentment and anger, relieved all her wrath upon Xiao Rufeng. Xiao Rufeng was fed medication to suppress her spirit force, thus she didn't have any strength to resist. Each time she would be tortured almost to death.

But deep in Xiao Rufeng's heart, she held an unyielding belief. As a former dignified killer, she crossed over here with much more advanced ideas in mind. Now at the mercy of these people, she felt angry and humiliated. She kept thinking of an opportunity to get herself out.

Unfortunately, before she could escape the Xiao family, she would be discovered and taken back every time.

"Xiao Rufeng, if you dare to run again, I will break your legs." Xiao Rufei's mother stood opposite the iron bars of the cell and condescended to Xiao Rufeng, accompanied by girl servants. "Rufei is home now, but if anything bad happens to her, I'll let you offer your life."

Thinking of how weak Xiao Rufei was now, Mother Xiao couldn't help hating the person in front of her. "It's all your fault, loser! It's not enough for you to bring death to your parents, so now you want to murder my Rufei!"

Xiao Rufeng's body was fully covered in injuries. She looked up slowly to the woman outside, curling up the corners of her mouth, and coldness gathered in her deep eyes.

For this moment, I will let you know the consequences, I promise.

Mother Xiao met with Xiao Rufeng's eyes unintentionally, and she was suddenly startled a bit to take a step back. But she calmed herself immediately. "Don't forget your identity, loser! You go in there and beat her as violently as possible. Let her know who she is. What do you think the Xiao family is? Your home? Next time, if she escapes again, you will all be punished!"

The last sentence was spoken to the guards.

Seeing Xiao Rufeng being punched and kicked, Mother Xiao could finally vent half of her anger. She sneered again and then left the dirty dungeon with the servant girls in tow.

Xiao Rufeng was even more covered in injuries now and lay there weakly. She clutched the straw strewn on the ground, eyes filled with unprecedented hatred.

The Xiao family... and that Zhi Po...

Just wait. I will have my revenge.

Ming Shu had stayed in the city for a few days. She didn't hide her identity, though. Since she certainly would be recognized, at least it would be known she was from Death Valley.
