Qingchen's nerves tensed up, and suddenly, he had a bad feeling: "What did Seventh Brother do?"

Wei Jie tilted his chin and said calmly, "Wait."

Qingchen was very unhappy to have his appetite whetted, but no matter how he asked, he couldn't get the answer he wanted.

Ten days later, Xiao Su, riding at full speed, slipped into the bedroom of the Emperor of Mei Kingdom quietly in the middle of the night, and left silently at dawn.

On this day, the fifth day of the second month, Li Quan summoned Li Hongtao to the palace: "Wei Yuchen has sent a message, asking us to find a way to replace Li Yuan. What do you think is the best reason?"

Since Lingjiazhuang never sent them any news from beginning to end, don't blame them for acting without first reporting.

Li Hongtao had expected that things would come to this point sooner or later, and he made a prompt decision: "Since Lingjiazhuang intends to adopt her as an adopted daughter, isn't this a good reason to take the opportunity to remove Li Yuan? However, I wonder who the emperor wants to take over?"

Li Quan looked at him with a half-smile: "Aren't you interested in your fourth daughter, Li Qianxue? In that case, just pick her!"

"When will the emperor announce this?"

Li Quan said calmly: "Don't be in a hurry, it won't be too late to decide after seeing the situation."

Until the last day, anything can happen.

Although he has decided to cooperate with Wei Yuchen, and the benefits he promised are relatively generous, to him, Li Yuan's value is far greater than that. Before that, he must leave a way out for himself.

Time flies and it is February 26th.

Due to the importance that Lingjiazhuang attached to this event, the initiation ceremony was even more sensational than Ling Wentian’s 70th birthday.

Lingshan, the ancestral temple of the Ling family, where the ceremony of joining the clan was held, was heavily protected by the Ling family.

As early as half a month ago, guests had started to stay at Lingjiazhuang, so early in the morning of that day, people were transported in batches to the foot of Lingshan Mountain by the Ling family's carriages.

As the protagonist, Li Yuan changed her usual style and put on the Ling family's clan costume, a pure white suit, a white fox fur cloak, and a white veil covering her face, revealing only her bright eyes as clear as crystal. With the help of her maid, she got on the carriage in a grand manner and headed to Lingshan in a high-profile manner.

A few days ago, Lingshan Mountain was covered with a heavy snow. It was so beautiful at first glance.

And above this white snow, there is a route decorated with red carpet, winding all the way up to the Ling family ancestral temple on the top of Lingshan Mountain.

Almost all members of the Ling family were out, and every five meters there were two waiters, one male and one female. They were dressed in white dresses and welcomed every guest who came to Lingshan with a smile.

When Li Yuan, accompanied by the waiter, walked step by step, bowed every hundred meters, and arrived at the Lingshan Ancestral Temple with full piety, it was exactly noon.

When the bell of Lingshan rang, Ling Wentian and the elders of the Ling tribe walked out of the Ling Temple. At a glance, everyone saw the beautiful and lively snow-white little fox in Ling Wentian's arms. In an instant, the little guy attracted the attention of all the guests.

"Oh my god, could that be the Ling family's inherited spiritual beast, the fox lady? She is so beautiful!"

"The Ling family really attaches great importance to this event. They even invited Lord Linghu to come out. You know, only the direct descendants of the Ling family are qualified to invite Lord Linghu to open the family entry ceremony!"

"Does this Li Yuan really have such great abilities? It's incredible that Ling Wentian values ​​her so much!"

"I heard that she saved the four countries from danger this time. She is a great hero. Moreover, she has lived in the Ling family for seven years and is a talent that Ling Wentian particularly values. This time, it is this little girl who led the team to the Dark Forest. It is enough to show that the Ling family valued her long before she became famous."

"Isn't Li Yuan a concubine of Prince Kang's mansion? Why did she run to Lingjiazhuang for no reason and stay there for seven years? She even recognized Ling Wuya and Mu Qing as her adoptive parents when Prince Kang was still alive?"

"How can this be a secret that we can get to know? However, now that you put it, it seems that Prince Kang's mansion didn't send anyone? Even the royal family Li's family didn't come. This seems a little strange!"

…

Amidst the constant discussions, Li Yuan remained straight-backed, accepting it all indifferently, quietly waiting for the arrival of noon.

Finally, when the bell of Lingshan struck ten times and uniform spells rang out around the Lingshrine, Lord Linghu, who had been lying in Ling Wentian's arms with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes. Under the stunned gaze of everyone, he jumped off Ling Wentian in a few moves and started circling around Li Yuan.

Li Yuan looked down at the spiritual creature at her feet, her eyes full of curiosity and excitement. Ah, it's really so cute. It's similar to her ice wings, both are fluffy, white and velvety. What should I do if I really want to touch it?

Unfortunately, Lord Spirit Fox did not give her this opportunity. The next second, it turned into a ray of white light and stood on Li Yuan's shoulder. Its eyes, like black gemstones, showed a strong interest in her, and it tilted its head from time to time to sniff something.

Li Yuan didn't dare to move. She just stood there stupidly, letting the little guy torment her.

Although everything went smoothly, Ling Wentian and others standing by couldn't help but worry for Li Yuan. If Lord Linghu rejected her, then not only them, even the elders of the clan would not recognize this recognition ceremony.

Therefore, when the spirit fox jumped onto Li Yuan's body, it captured the hearts of almost all the spirit family members present.

Laymen are watching the excitement, but insiders are watching the communication between Linghu and Li Yuan.

Of course, Li Yuan also knew this procedure, so she didn't dare to move, but her eyes kept rolling around with the little guy.

Time passed minute by minute, but the fox spirit didn't stop sniffing around, and even went in from her chest and came out from her sleeves from time to time. After keeping Li Yuan in suspense for about ten minutes, the fox spirit suddenly lay on top of her head.

Seeing this action, all the elves were heartbroken.

The next scene was even more incredible to everyone present.

The fox with an aura of intimidating spirit suddenly used its sharp nails to cut a bloody mark on Li Yuan's brow. Before the blood dripped, a drop of blood suddenly fell from the fox's palm. When the two drops of blood merged into one little by little, countless gasps were heard from the crowd.

Although outsiders didn't know what this meant, everyone was stunned when they saw the bloodstain between Li Yuan's eyebrows disappearing little by little and finally returning to its original state. The fox spirit even lifted its tail, slid down from her head, and finally steadily drilled into her chest and never came out again.

Damn, is this fox a fox of spirit or a lecher? Why did it drill into the girl's chest when there were so many places to drill into?

But in the eyes of the elves, this scene has transformed from stupor to shock. How, how is this possible?

Lord Linghu not only acknowledged her, but also used blood to confirm her identity as a legitimate daughter of the family?

This little girl is simply, simply incredible.

Li Yuan did not notice the reactions of others, because her heart and eyes were now filled with the fluffy fox. Especially when she nestled against her chest, it made her feel endlessly warm. Her hand under the cloak could not help but gently stroke the bulging white mass on her chest.

"Are you cold? You're so pitiful. I'm so sorry to ask you to go out in such a cold weather. Are you tired? If you are tired, go to sleep. I promise not to disturb you!"

"Good, very good, Elder Ling, you can rest assured now. Li Yuan has been confirmed by Master Linghu. From today on, she is already the direct descendant of our Ling family."

The Great Elder walked out of the crowd and looked at Ling Wentian with a smile on his face. Ling Wentian then turned his gaze away from Li Yuan and looked at the Ling family members around him: "Haven't you met the Second Young Lady yet?"

After this was said, what else did the Ling family members not understand?

He immediately knelt on one knee and shouted respectfully to Li Yuan: "Your subordinate greets the Second Miss. May you be safe and sound."

Li Yuan, who realized it later, raised her head and saw the satisfaction in Ling Wentian's eyes. She breathed a sigh of relief and thought, "It's done, that's great."

In fact, when Mu Qing told her that the Ling family had such a rule, she was afraid that she would not be recognized by Linghu. Unexpectedly, things went more smoothly than she thought, all thanks to the little fox on her chest.

She silently said "thank you" to it in her arms.

The ceremony was opened by Lord Spirit Fox himself, so the subsequent series of itineraries would be much smoother.

However, before Li Yuan could move, someone in the crowd suddenly raised a questioning voice.

"May I ask, Mr. Ling, what will be Miss Li's main identity from now on? Is she the seventh daughter of the Li family, or the second daughter of your Ling family?"

"Yes, yes, I am also curious. It is said that Miss Li has made great contributions this time. Could it be that the Ling family suddenly wants to adopt Miss Li as their adopted daughter because of this?"

"Didn't they say that Miss Li has been betrothed to His Majesty the Phoenix King? Now that her status has changed and she is no longer a member of the Li family, does the marriage still count?"

"After all, this marriage is between the royal families of Siyou and Mei, and has nothing to do with the Ling family!"

"That's right, such a big thing happened, but no one from the Li family came. Isn't this a bit unreasonable?"

"Also, we want to ask Miss Li, why did you leave your Seventh Miss behind and insist on becoming the Second Miss of the Ling family? Do you want to occupy two identities?"

"Although there is no rule that prohibits the use of dual identities, at least the Li family should have an explanation, right? You can't just take someone else's daughter and recognize her as yours, right?"

"Don't rush to hold the ceremony. Although Master Linghu has acknowledged her, shouldn't the Ling family also give an explanation to the outside world?"

"Yes, that's right. We should give an explanation, especially when the Li family is not around."

…

When Ling Wentian saw this, he signaled to Ling Wuya beside him. Wuya understood and suddenly took a step forward. As soon as he took a step forward, the noisy sounds around him suddenly disappeared. Everyone turned their heads to look at him, quietly waiting for something.

"Originally, I wanted to wait until the ceremony was over to show everyone some so-called evidence. Since everyone is so impatient, it would be fine to announce it to the public in advance."

However, before he could send people to distribute the information, a cry of surprise suddenly came from below: "Look, someone from the Li family has arrived, and it's Prince Kang and Princess Kang."

"Hey, who's that person behind King Kang?"

Ling Yun watched coldly from the side and snorted: "It seems that today's program will be postponed. These people really know how to pick the time, huh?"

"Don't worry, sister. What needs to be solved will be solved, right?"

Li Yuan was not in a hurry at all. She secretly touched the fur on her chest and raised a faint smile: "If they didn't come, we would still be worried. It's nothing for them to show up at this time. Let's wait and see what tricks they can come up with!"

"You clever little devil, aren't you a little too calm? Are you really not afraid?"

"Afraid? Haha, then it depends on who we should be afraid of!"

As they were talking, Li Hongtao and Princess Kang came up, followed by seven or eight attendants. Everyone had a cold expression on their face, especially Li Hongtao. When he saw Li Yuan, who was standing in the middle in a snow-white dress, his cold and sharp eyes suddenly changed.
