Chapter 178 Great Cause

Feng Qiaozi looked at Feng Tianning with some suspicion:

"Were you sent to the special case team by the head of the family himself?"

Feng Tianning hesitated for a moment and finally nodded. Although she had taken the initiative to join, it would be better not to tell the truth in this situation.

Seeing that there was no trace of guilt on her face, Feng Qiaozi finally believed it a little.

"I've heard that the master of the family has several illegitimate children outside, but I didn't expect to see them here."

"Feng Tianning, it seems that he has high expectations of you."

Feng Qiaozi is a direct descendant of the Feng family. He has always looked down on the children his father raised outside and has always had an inexplicable hostility towards Feng Tianning.

"Sister Qiao Zi!" Qin Guan frowned and interrupted her.

"Don't be rude to your grandmother!"

Feng Qiaozi glanced at them doubtfully, and a look of sudden realization flashed across his face.

"So this is the relationship between you two. No wonder Feng Tianning, despite his low status, was able to join the special case team at such a young age."

Feng Tianning frowned and moved his fingers. The next moment, no matter how Feng Qiaozi opened his mouth, he could no longer make a sound.

"If you don't know how to speak, just shut up." She said coldly.

"Since you are a child of the Feng family, I will discipline you on their behalf."

"Become mute until you learn how to respect your elders."

Feng Qiaozi whimpered a few times and tried his best to break free from Feng Tianning's spell, but found that it was useless.

"Tianning, this isn't a good idea."

"Yeah, after all, you are a family. If you go out..."

Feng Tianning shook his head and said:

"Don't worry about me. I don't care about the Feng family."

Fu Ruxuan sighed helplessly and her eyes fell on Feng Qiaozi:

"Sister Qiao Zi, do you know where our souls have gone?"

The anger on Feng Qiaozi's face turned into confusion. Seeing her like this, Fu Ruxuan knew that she couldn't ask anything more.

"Isn't her soul lost too?"

Xuan Gou Chen nodded and said:

"My guess is that Sister Qiao Zi used to be very gentle and never said anything hurtful. Now, it's probably the aftereffects of losing her soul that has made her as impulsive and irritable as we are."

Feng Tianning glanced at Feng Qiaozi thoughtfully, and after a moment he said affirmatively:

"She's also missing a soul and a spirit, and she has a familiar scent on her."

"A familiar smell?"

"What is that?"

Feng Tianning shook her head. She couldn’t explain it now. She always felt that the Fangcun Realm had become a little strange, not like before.

"Let's go, it's time for us to go out and get some information."

When everyone reached the door of the dark room, Qin Guan turned back and said to Feng Qiaozi:

"Sister Qiao Zi, please stay here first. If we take you away, it might attract the attention of Emperor Cang Xuan."

"Don't worry, we will definitely rescue you."

Feng Qiaozi nodded and watched them leave.

It was not until Feng Tianning and the others had left the dark room and there was no movement outside that Feng Qiaozizi changed the confusion on his face.

She stretched her stiff neck, her eyes fixed on the corner of the dark room, and her thin lips parted slightly:

"Are you satisfied now?"

"I have done everything I promised you."

The next moment, Emperor Cang Xuan walked out from a door behind the dark room and put his arm around Feng Qiaozi:

"Azi did a great job."

"Our great cause requires the souls of these 'immortals'. I thought I would never meet an immortal like you again in this lifetime, but I didn't expect them to actually show up at our door."

"Don't worry, Ah Zi. Once the great cause is accomplished, I will marry you as my queen."

A sinister smile flashed across Feng Qiaozi's face:

"When the time comes, I'll have to take action against Feng Tianning first. She actually wanted to shut me up, but she didn't even notice where she was."

Emperor Cang Xuan also smiled and kissed Feng Qiaozi on the forehead:

"Don't worry, Azi. If we don't sacrifice them, it would be a waste of all our efforts to put on such a big show."

"Whenever you find someone you dislike, we will kill her first."

"But..." A hint of hesitation flashed across Feng Qiaozi's face.

"That Feng Tianning is a little hard to understand. I can't see through her cultivation and soul."

Emperor Cang Xuan chuckled, his face full of determination:

"Don't be afraid, Azi. Our Great Cang Nation is now powerful. Isn't it possible that we can't subdue a little girl?"

After hearing him say this, the worry on Feng Qiaozi's face eased a little.

"It's just hard for you, having to play along with me, hiding in this place where the sun can't see the light of day."

Feng Qiaozi's face was full of happiness. She buried her head in Emperor Cang Xuan's arms and missed the dark light that flashed in his eyes.

"As long as it's for you, I'm willing."

On the other side, Feng Tianning and his group had already returned to Zhaixing Tower. They sat around the table with serious expressions.

"Tianning, I think something is wrong with Sister Qiao Zi." Fu Ruxuan said with a frown.

Qin Guan and Xuan Gou Chen also quickly echoed:

"We don't feel right either."

"There's a smell on her that I seem to have smelled somewhere before."

Pei Duyan said hesitantly:

"Could it be that she's not Feng Qiaozi? But someone who looks just like her?"

Feng Tianning shook his head:

"She is Feng Qiaozi, but...something seems a little off."

Fu Ruxuan nodded:

"Her smell is so familiar, but I can't remember where I've smelled it before."

Feng Tianning pursed his lips and said nothing, and the room fell into silence for a moment.

After a long while, Pei Duyan finally spoke:

"Don't worry about her for now. What we need to do now is to find the souls of the inspectors and leave this damn place as soon as possible."

Feng Tianning nodded in agreement:

"If your soul is away from your body for too long, your memory and temperament will gradually change, and this change is irreversible."

"It's not too late to talk about Feng Qiaozi's matter after we find the soul."

"But where are we going to find it?"

Feng Tianning thought for a moment and said:

"Has there been any riots in Da Cang Nation recently? Or any mass disappearances?"

"Since someone is taking away souls, it is impossible for them to only take yours."

"Perhaps we can find some clues by starting from this aspect."

Xuan Gou Chen and the others looked at each other and said hesitantly:

"Tianning, we did encounter a riot among the people recently."

"Furthermore, those rioting people mysteriously disappeared the next day. We have been dealing with this matter for some time."

"Where?"

"Near the border between Beimang and Dacang."

Feng Tianning nodded and said:

"Then let's go."

They acted decisively and left the palace quietly under the cover of night.

With Feng Tianning's talisman, they reached the border in just a few minutes.

"Tian Ning, your Thousand Mile Talisman is so useful."

Qin Guan said proudly:

"Of course, this was painted by my great-grandmother. How could our Qin family's ancestors be weak?"

Feng Tianning couldn't help but twitched the corner of his mouth, and said to him seriously:

"Don't call me grandma."

"We have no relationship now."
