Chapter 99 Chapter 89 Betrayal and Deeper Betrayal Part 2

The Yun family is the real controller of the entire Xiper.

The Qiu family of the imperial capital of Saint Snow has no real power. The main members of the family rose to power by accepting the mission of sealing the alien world.

At least on the surface, the Pu family of the Shennan Sea reefs and islands is managed by the head of the Pu family who is acting as the governor of the south.

The Ni family of the Holy City Jade Tower is similar to the Qiu family, and the Liuhua family of the Northern Border Liuyun is similar to the Pu family.

Only Siper, the supreme commander is the successive heads of the Yun family. There is no "honest" election, and power has never been delegated since its establishment.

The head of the Yun family represents all of Xipo’s will.

Today, the representative of this will is Yun family’s wife, Yun Yingxuan.

"I should have met you earlier, but I'm not feeling well. I'm really sorry."

Yun Yingxuan doesn't look like a person in power at all. She is very gentle, and every move she makes is extremely graceful.

"Good evening, Madam Yun. I'm Puyis. I'm sorry to bother you so late at night."

Pu Yisi responded with the same elegant courtesy, and chose the latter between the role of successor to the Pu family and the role of the younger generation.

Yun Yingxuan's smile became more intense and genuine.

Pomo also followed Puyi's example and bowed to Yun Yingxuan.

"Good evening, Mrs. Yun, I'm Bomo."

Yun Yingxuan raised her hand and pointed to the seat next to her, "Hurry up and sit down. It was me who asked Xiangmei to call you over so late in the evening. I should be the one to say sorry."

The waiter came forward and poured tea for the guests, and then left one after another.

What he said next was not something that servants like him should hear.

In the end, only Yun Yingxuan and Clarkia, who is now inseparable, are left.

"Well, let's get down to business."

Yun Yingxuan put down the teacup, and the gentle gaze she had been giving the two of them turned serious.

Puis and Pomo waited with great respect.

Yun Yingxuan stretched out her right hand, and Clarkia stepped forward devoutly and helped her stand up.

"As the sole manager of Xipo and the head of the Yun family, I am officially issuing a commission to you from Lanster."

She placed her other hand on her chest, then stretched it out towards the two of them, spreading it open.

"I hope you can save Siper from imminent danger and save this crumbling city."

Puis and Pomer should not sit still, they both stood up, as this was a commission issued to them by the manager of an important region.

"Mrs. Yun, whether or not to accept the commission depends on whether you are willing to share sufficient information with us."

Now, Madam Yun specially invited their two outsiders, who were not even underage children, to investigate. If it was not that Xipo had no one available, then there was a possibility that there was a traitor inside that they could not resolve at the moment.

Of course, they also have to be careful not to be drawn into unknown conspiracies.

"After all, we are not yet adults. Why did Madam Yun come to us?"

Puys's words were sharp, and Pomo remained silent, leaving all communication and interaction to Puys.

Yun Yingxuan smiled gently again and sat down with the help of Clarkya.

"Abre is a Lightless One, a traitor to the Dome Army. He was previously General Yun Shi, my sister's adjutant. He and my sister were both disciples of the same person, but were expelled by my sister herself a few months ago."

The first thing he said was breaking news, and even Clarka didn't know that Abre was the Lightless One.

Clarkia looked at Yun Yingxuan in shock, but refrained from saying anything.

Puis frowned. He had wondered whether Xipo's disaster might be related to the Lightless Ones he had been dealing with, but he never expected that they would actually be there.

"Mrs. Yun should know that we came to Xiper through the commission issued by Abrey in Lanster. Aren't you afraid that we are birds of a feather with Abrey?"

Yunyingxuan's smile was as beautiful as the blooming cherry blossoms, and she didn't feel threatened at all when she heard these words.

"The commission is just the reason why you came to Xipo. You didn't even know Abre before, so you are more trustworthy."

Before she made this decision, Clarkia strongly opposed it.

Just as Puis thought, Siper was not in a situation where there was no one available. Even if General Yun Shi was missing, there would be no need to invite outsiders, let alone two underage children, to investigate.

But this was before he knew that the Lightless Ones had appeared in the army.

Abre is actually a Lightless One?! It's simply unbelievable.

"Mrs. Yun, how long has General Yun Shi been missing?"

"You know more than I thought. That's great. It's been eight months since I last saw her."

This is the same as what Asis said. After leaving the dungeon eight months ago, General Yun Shi has completely disappeared.

For eight whole months, even if Madam Yun used the excuse of sending her abroad or other reasons to cover it up, she could no longer hide it for the Dome Army which was always at war.

Finding Yun Shi is an urgent matter, but Yun Yingxuan is most afraid of another possibility.

Seeing that Puisi and Pomo were still waiting for her next words, Yun Yingxuan put aside her fear.

"I called Rourou back, and he told me a lot about you."

Yun Yingxuan supported her chin with one hand, seeming to be a little tired.

"The person you are looking for is a boy with blue hair, right? Rourou told me his name is Ni Lan, is that right?"

The children of the Pu family were able to keep their composure, but the one called Pomo was a little naive and could see through it at a glance.

One is to establish good relations with the Pu family, and the other is to guard against traitors within the family.

But their purpose of coming to Xipo was to find someone, which was one of the key reasons why Yun Yingxuan decided to trust them.

In this case, the lifeless hanging city needs some external power.

Of course, there are more important reasons.

"Krakya, please get out."

"But, ma'am!"

"Don't make me say it a second time."

"...yes."

Clarka lowered his head in helpless obedience. Yun Yingxuan stroked his head and softened her tough tone.

"Don't worry, dear Krakaya, I'll be fine."

The man walked out of the house and looked at the two teenagers with a warning look as he passed them.

He trusts his beloved's judgment, yet he is afraid that she will be hurt.

What followed were more "secrets", but Puys was not happy about it.

Although Yun Yingxuan has not yet decided whether to accept the commission, from the moment they confirmed the news about General Yun Shi, they could no longer remain immune and were involved in this invisible conspiracy.

"Pu's child, do you know what the Yun family's inherited supernatural power is?"

"I know. It's the Flower Walking on a Strange Road."

Except for the Ni family, the supernatural powers of the five major families are considered "public". After all, except for the Ni family, which is almost no different from living in seclusion, everyone has the experience of their own family members practicing outside, and there will always be someone who can see what their supernatural powers are.

Yun Yingxuan nodded, "Tell me about your abilities."

"When the supernatural power awakens, it will identify the flower closest to the main body and absorb the power from it. However, there are many variations and each one is different, so there have never been two exactly the same Yun family members from ancient times to the present."

The Yun family has been able to endure for so long thanks to this ability. The weak ones may only be able to produce the flower they first absorbed, while the strong ones can even communicate with all the plants around them. It can be said that this ability has both extreme upper and lower limits.

Yun Yingxuan clapped her hands and said, "That's right, but there's a slight mistake in the last sentence."

A flower... no, two flowers bloomed on the woman's fingertips.

“This is the flower I draw from.”

"Twin Lotuses?"

Puis recognized it; this flower grew in almost every pond in the Hanging City.

"Yes, it's the Twin Lotuses. To be more advanced, my ability is called the Twins."

At some point, a shadow appeared behind Yun Yingxuan. She had exactly the same appearance and temperament as Yun Yingxuan, but she looked much healthier than Yun Yingxuan who was infected by illness.

Yunyingxuan poured herself a cup of tea and disappeared.

"Eight months ago, after my sister disappeared, a red snake tried to assassinate me. My clone shares my memories and abilities with me, but not my life. She can appear in any place where lotus flowers bloom to ensure my continued life. Unfortunately, I can't do more than my sister. I have more of a life-saving ability like the turtle shrinking."

Yun Yingxuan has exposed her ability in this way. If Puyis and Bomo want to kill her, they are now able to do it.

Puis frowned.

"You saw Ni Lan, and you didn't forget her."

They all knew that Ni Lan was hunting down those red snakes.

"Yeah, that kid is pretty good. He used some tricks to erase my memory of being assassinated by the snake and him killing the snake, but my clone still remembers it."

Ni Lan didn't know Yun Yingxuan's ability, so she accidentally exposed her existence.

But Yun Yingxuan did not make any statement, and even Clarka did not know about the assassination.

She sent her clone to secretly collect information about the boy, but there was no progress.

"So, I could only issue a weird 'Stowaway Search' order, hoping that the kid would find himself, but he was too patient."

Yun Yingxuan's tone was full of regret.

"The stowaway search warrant is for Ni Lan, so what's going on with Ri Xun?"

"Hihiro? Who is that?"

Yun Yingxuan had never heard of this name before and did not expect that the arrival of Puis and Pomo would bring new clues.

"Madam Yun, are the flowers that General Yun Shi picked the same as yours, also twin lotus flowers?"

"You mean, Ri Xun is my sister's clone?!"

Yun Yingxuan reacted immediately.

Now we have completely figured out the relationship between Rixun and General Yunshi, but why did General Yunshi order the hunt for Rixun?

"Mrs. Yun, Rixun has no memory of the past, let alone..."

Puis was a little hesitant.

"General Yun Shi ordered to hunt her down while he was in the underground city."

But Yun Yingxuan didn't even know that her sister had given such an order in the dungeon, and the person who could have executed this order could only be the one who went down with Yun Shi.

——Abrey.
