Editor: Misty Cloud TranslationsSong Lingbo instructed the shadow guards to dispose of the body. Turning around, he saw several clan elders still standing frozen in place. He stepped forward and called out, "Elder?"
Seeing no response, he tapped the lead elder on the shoulder: "Elder?"
"Huh?"
The elder snapped back to attention. Recognizing Song Lingbo before him and recalling the earlier incident, he began, "Lingbo, that Lady Xuanyuan just said her name was..." His words were cut off.
"Let’s discuss this back at the residence! Have them clean up here first." Song Lingbo said, giving them a meaningful glance. Though they were all servants of the same household, the Phoenix Empress’ status made it inappropriate to discuss matters here.
"Right, right. We’ll go inside to talk. Inside, inside." The Elder recovered, nodded, and took a deep breath. Watching the corpses being carried away for disposal, he still felt a bit dazed.
He couldn’t believe the crisis facing the Song family had been resolved so easily. Even more unbelievable was that Lady Xuanyuan was none other than the Phoenix Empress!
That night, after Song Lingbo briefly recounted Feng Jiu’s story to them, he went to attend to other matters.
The next morning, Feng Jiu, Song Mi’er, and the three children arrived at the main gate accompanied by members of the Song family. Along the way, Song Lingbo and his wife repeatedly reminded Mi’er to take good care of herself and urged her to stay close to Feng Jiu, working diligently by her side.
"Father, Mother, I know. You needn’t worry," Mi’er said with a bright smile. "It’s not like I won’t come home. I’ll return whenever I get the chance."
"Listen carefully to Lady Xuanyuan and don’t cause trouble outside," Song Lingbo reminded her.
"Got it, got it!" Mi’er replied, quickly running over to Hao’er and the other two children, afraid they might linger longer.
"This is as far as we’ll go," Feng Jiu said with a smile, looking at them. "Thank you for your kindness during this time."
"Not at all, Lady Xuanyuan, you flatter us. It is our Song family’s honor to welcome such a distinguished guest to our estate," the senior elder hastened to say.
Feng Jiu smiled, bid them farewell, and added, "Once matters with the Cheng family are settled, I’ll have Mi’er inform you. Goodbye." With that, she led Mi’er and the three children away.
Cheng Family Manor, Longnan
At that moment, the Cheng family manor was shrouded in a dark cloud, the atmosphere oppressively heavy. The servants moved with trembling caution, afraid to make even the slightest mistake.
In the council hall, the family’s supreme elders, the ancestral patriarch, and the current head, Cheng Wanshan, sat in silence. Each wore a grave expression, deep in thought, their brows furrowed with hidden worry.
After a long silence, the family patriarch finally spoke: "I summoned you all here early this morning to inform you of this matter. Now that their divine spirit lamps have been extinguished, what course of action do you propose?"
This outcome had been unforeseen. Overnight, not a single one of the four Supreme Elders dispatched to the Song family had returned alive. Four lamps had extinguished simultaneously in the tower where their divine spirit lamps were enshrined. For the Cheng family, this was no trivial matter—a single misstep could spell disaster, potentially leading to the annihilation of their entire clan!
"No one in the Song family possesses the strength to kill them. It must have been that woman in azure who took their lives. There’s definitely something wrong with her identity!" one of them said, his face heavy with gravity.
