"I'm glad you're okay."
Di Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, and the next moment he was caught off guard when he met Rong Shuo's gaze. He paused, then thanked him in a neutral tone, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
"This is my duty, grandpa." Lord Emperor nodded slightly.
Emperor Yuan: “…”
Looking at the Emperor's humble attitude, he suddenly remembered what he had said to his granddaughter.
What a cold-blooded, inhumane person...
He felt as if his face was slapped.
At this time, Yun Zheng's eyes fell on the second elder who had fallen to the ground. She moved away Rong Shuo's arm that was around her, and then walked towards the second elder's body.
She squatted down and looked at his face. She saw that blood was coming out of all his orifices and his pupils were dilated with a look of deep fear, as if he had suffered something terrible.
She frowned, and a strange red color flashed in her eyes.
She observed his sea of consciousness with her blood-red pupils, and saw a shocking scene. At this moment, the second elder's sea of consciousness was shrouded and polluted by a thick black fog.
In a corner of his sea of consciousness, there was a small black bead.
If she guessed correctly, this black bead was the culprit that caused the sudden death of the second elder.
The Second Elder did not commit suicide.
Yun Zheng narrowed her eyes slightly. Why did she feel that this black bead had a familiar aura?!
It's like...
Amuta Kongye, also known as Bai Lianye!
Yun Zheng stood up suddenly and looked around at everyone with a pair of strange blood-red eyes.
She frowned. There was no sign of Bai Lianye. Could it be that she had guessed wrong? However, Bai Lianye's identity was indeed very mysterious and strange.
Also, Di Youyou’s mother Meng Xiaoxiao doesn’t seem like a simple character.
Everyone was stared at by her pair of strange blood-red eyes, and they got goosebumps all over their bodies.
This Yun Zheng really has a pair of blood-red eyes!
Patriarch Diqian came to Yun Zheng's side and asked in a low voice, "Have you discovered anything?"
"A small discovery." Yun Zheng answered truthfully.
Patriarch Diqian glanced coldly at the Second Elder's corpse and said, "Zheng'er, don't worry about these things for now. The most important thing is to succeed the Young Master."
Ancestor Di Qian and Di Yuan looked at each other, and then Di Yuan nodded respectfully.
Emperor Yuan faced everyone and raised his voice.
"Come here, carry the Second Elder's body down and keep an eye on it."
The people from Jingwei Team 1 and Team 2 immediately took away the second elder's body.
Patriarch Diqian glanced at Emperor Zun and said with a complicated expression, "...Come down with me."
"Yes, great-grandmother."
The Emperor nodded slightly. When he followed the white-haired old woman down, he passed by Yun Zheng and glanced down at her.
Yun Zheng curved her eyebrows.
Di Yuan said with a bad face: "I'm sorry, we made you laugh at the affairs of our Di family."
"It's okay, it's okay." Everyone echoed.
At this moment, Di Youyou, who had been stuck in the soil and had been pulled out, slowly woke up leaning against the pillar in the corridor.
Di Youyou rubbed his head and felt a handful of sticky soil.
"ah!"
She screamed.
Disgust and shock instantly appeared on her face. The scenes of fainting reappeared in her mind, and her eyes suddenly became resentful.
She looked up and saw from afar her grandfather and Yun Zheng standing one in front of the other at the altar. Their red figures were particularly dazzling.
"Second Elder, why hasn't he appeared yet?" Di Youyou murmured in jealousy and confusion.
Didn't the Second Elder say that Yun Zheng, a lowly person, would never become the Young Master of the Di Family? Why hasn't he appeared yet?
Moreover, Yun Zheng was successfully placed on the altar!
Di Youyou's chest heaved up and down with anger.
Suddenly, Di Yuan's serious voice came:
"Before we begin, I would like to take this opportunity to announce something to everyone. Yun Zheng is the only one with the direct bloodline of our Di family. Di Youyou is not actually Di Nian's daughter!"
These words shocked everyone again.
Di Youyou is not Di Nian's daughter? !
When Di Youyou heard this, he felt like he was struck by lightning, and a loud buzzing sound came from his head.
Di Yuan continued, "Di Youyou is actually the daughter of the Second Elder's illegitimate son, Di Yilun, and Meng Xiaoxiao!"
"Back then, Meng Xiaoxiao and Di Nian reached a deal, allowing Di Nian to marry her while she was pregnant and give her a legitimate status."
"What made me particularly angry today was that the Second Elder abused his power for personal gain and repeatedly framed my granddaughter Yun Zheng, all in order to allow Di Youyou to obtain a position that didn't belong to her in the first place."
Everyone was in an uproar.
Di Yuan narrowed his eyes dangerously.
"I've gathered a lot of evidence in recent days. It's not just the Second Elder who's involved, but also Di Nian's nominal wife, Meng Xiaoxiao. This completely goes against the agreement we made back then."
"In that case, as the Patriarch of the Di Family, I will divorce Meng Xiaoxiao on behalf of my son Di Nian!"
"Di Youyou's status as a direct descendant is invalidated!"
No one present was surprised when they heard Di Yuan's decision.
They were just a little surprised that Di Nian's wife Meng Xiaoxiao had many ambitions, and Di Youyou was not of the direct bloodline but had enjoyed the direct bloodline resources and status for more than ten years.
It turned out that the Second Elder had acted like that just now because he wanted to push his granddaughter Di Youyou to the position of the young master of the Emperor's family.
Everyone in the Di family was also extremely surprised.
The Fourth Elder was shocked. "No wonder the Second Elder kept telling me that Di Youyou is excellent in every way. It turns out that Di Youyou is his own granddaughter!"
The third elder frowned: "No wonder the ancestors never summoned Di Youyou before..."
"Meng Xiaoxiao doesn't look like a simple woman. She actually wants to join forces with the Second Elder to take down the Di family."
“…”
When Di Youyou heard these words, he shook his head in disbelief.
impossible!
She is the daughter of Emperor Nian!
She is the direct descendant of the Di family, the legitimate bloodline.
Grandpa must have lied for that bitch Yun Zheng. How could she be a collateral bloodline, and the daughter of a shameful illegitimate child?!
"Impossible, impossible..." Di Youyou's face was grim, and he was in a trance and close to collapse.
For a moment, she felt great hatred towards Yun Zheng.
It’s all the fault of that bitch Yun Zheng!
Just when Di Youyou wanted to stand up and question Di Yuan, she felt a pain on the back of her neck and then fell into a coma.
At this moment, the red-clothed girl's gaze suddenly fell in the direction of Di Youyou, only to see an empty area without a single figure.
Yun Zheng frowned.
Could it be that she saw it wrong again?
Her eyes moved slightly. No, if she remembered correctly, Di Youyou was staying in that position.
Is this the person sent by Meng Xiaoxiao?
Grandpa had told her before that although Meng Xiaoxiao's strength was average, she was a poison maker and puppeteer.
Meng Xiaoxiao holds a very high status in the Temple of Light in the Great Light Realm.
