"Reporting to Third Master, the eldest young lady... she is already dead!"
The guard's voice rang out like a bolt from the blue. Feng Luo's face turned deathly pale. She grabbed the guard by the collar and demanded in a hoarse voice, "What did you say? Say it again!"
The guard swallowed hard, his tongue seemingly tied in knots. "Third...Third Master, I've discovered that she...died thirteen years ago!"
Although he was afraid that Feng Luo would kill him in a fit of anger, what he said was the truth!
Feng Luo staggered a few steps and died! How could her little sister die! And in a foreign land at that! Familiar scenes flashed through her memory in a daze.
"Third Brother, I want to eat the Hundred Spirit Fruit!" Little Feng Lan pointed to the fruit on the tree, looking at Feng Luo with anticipation!
Feng Luo smiled, picked up Xiao Fenglan, put her on his shoulder, and let her pick fruit from the tree.
"Thank you, Third Brother!"
"What else would you like to eat, Lan'er? Third brother will go find it for you!" Feng Luo said with a smile.
"Third Brother, Lan'er wants to go out and play!"
Feng Luo paused, then hesitated for a moment. "I'm sorry, Lan'er, your third brother can't take you out. If Grandfather finds out, he'll definitely beat you senseless!"
"But Lan'er has never been outside!" Xiao Fenglan pouted and said with a frustrated look.
Seeing Lan'er's dejected look, Feng Luo felt a pang of pity. She lowered her eyes, a hint of hesitation flashing across her face, before gritting her teeth and saying, "Alright then, we'll sneak out, but I'll make it clear beforehand that we can only be out for a short while!"
Xiao Fenglan's eyes lit up immediately, and she was overjoyed. She nodded vigorously!
Feng Luo led Xiao Feng Lan through a secret passage in the back mountain, a passage that he and his fourth brother had discovered by accident!
Once outside the manor, Feng Lan excitedly pulled Feng Luo along the street, looking at this and that, and discovering many things she had never seen before while she was at the manor!
The bustling streets delighted Feng Lan! Seeing her happy, Feng Luo bought her whatever she liked, completely forgetting their initial agreement to only be out for a short while!
By the time they remembered, it was already dark!
The household was in an uproar!
As a result, Feng Luo was beaten so badly that her buttocks were bruised and she was confined to her quarters for three months! Feng Lan was locked up in the ancestral hall for a full three years!
It's his fault, really. It was because Feng Luo took him out once that Feng Lan started sneaking out of the mansion through the secret passage. When Feng Lan grew up, she knew that she would be locked in the tomb for the rest of her life until she died, and she was even more unwilling to be controlled by the Feng family!
···········
Memories flashed through his mind, and he still couldn't believe that such an innocent Lan'er would die like this! Why did she run away back then? Why did she disobey her grandfather's orders? And in the end, she met such a tragic end!
He originally thought that since Lan'er had given birth to that bastard child, he could bring her back to the Feng family. As long as she let that bastard child take her place, she would still be the eldest daughter of the Feng family, and she could go wherever she wanted! But reality was not as he wished!
"How did Lan'er die?" Feng Luo gradually calmed down!
The guard recounted everything he had found out about Feng Lan, until he heard the name Ji Chenyuan, at which point his brow furrowed slightly! It was the person he had met that day!
"stop!"
"You mean that after Lan'er was rescued by Ji Chenyuan, she married him not long after?" Feng Luo asked doubtfully. Lan'er had already fallen in love with that mysterious man, how could she have just married any man she could find!
"yes!"
"Continue!"
"The young lady gave birth to a baby girl after eight months, and then died. It is said that she died in childbirth!" The guard hesitated for a moment.
"What utter bullshit!"
Feng Luo was instantly enraged! Lan'er was a Primordial Body! She cultivated every day, and her cultivation level was no less than that of her brothers. Her medical skills were also superb. How could she die after giving birth to a child! Feng Luo was the first to disbelieve it!
My younger sister was already pregnant when she left home. She gave birth to the child eight months after marrying Ji Chenyuan. There must be something fishy going on here!
"Go on!"
"After the eldest young lady died, the young lady was always cared for by a wet nurse. Ji Chenyuan basically ignored her. When she was five years old, it was discovered that she had no spiritual root and was a useless person. The Ji family didn't treat her like a human being..." The guard said, glancing at Feng Luo out of the corner of his eye. Feng Luo frowned as expected. "Go to hell! Lan'er is born of a Primordial Chaos Body, how could she be a useless person without spiritual root! It must be that mysterious man's problem!"
The bodyguard finally understood: Third Master would fly into a rage upon hearing news about the eldest young lady, but would show a look of disgust upon hearing news about the young lady!
"The eldest young lady's children are naturally exceptional. The youngest young lady was revealed to have the ability to cultivate at the age of fourteen, and she even won first place in the genius competition of Cangyue Kingdom!"
After finishing his sentence, the guard glanced at Feng Luo out of the corner of his eye, noticing a slight furrow in his brow. He continued, "Even more shocking is that the young lady's contracted beast is actually a phantom dragon, which means..."
"What did you say? Phantom Dragon?"
Feng Luo grabbed the guard's collar again!
"Yes...yes! Phantom Dragon!"
Thinking of something, Feng Luo asked again, "Little... is that bastard child named Ji Jiuying?"
The guard nodded, and Feng Luo finally released his collar! It seems that in the future, if she finds anything, she should stay away from Third Master before reporting it!
Ji Chenyuan! Ji Jiuying!
Feng Luo recalled the scene when he met Ji Jiuying that day. No wonder he felt a sense of familiarity at first. But why did she and his little sister look nothing alike?
He actually tried to steal his own niece's things! And he even wanted to help the Crown Prince of the Western Jin Dynasty get his niece? He's a real dog! The Crown Prince of the Western Jin Dynasty doesn't even deserve to covet his niece?
No, no, no! She's an illegitimate child! If it weren't for her, Lan'er wouldn't have disappeared! He'll make her go back to the Feng family to take Lan'er's place! He'll explain everything to Lan'er once he finds her; he believes Lan'er won't blame him!
But his second brother is also in this plane of existence. Does he know about this? If he does, he might very well try to stop him...
"Third Master, I've heard that a peerless spiritual treasure will soon appear on an island called the East Sea Region. Should we...?"
"What nonsense are you talking about? Of course we're going!" Feng Luo answered without hesitation. That bastard was able to contract a phantom dragon and a divine artifact in this low-level world, which meant there must be other treasures on this continent!
First, we need to get that peerless spiritual treasure, then investigate the cause of the Third Elder's death, and we also need to capture that bastard child as soon as possible!
"But there's one more thing we need to do before we leave!" Feng Luo's sharp black eyes narrowed slightly, and a cold, bloodthirsty smile curled at the corner of her lips!
Under the cold moonlight, watching the raging fire at the Ji residence, a hint of pleasure flashed in Feng Luo's eyes. It was unclear whether it was for Feng Lan or for Ji Jiuying!
Ji Chenyuan knelt beside Feng Luo, watching in despair as over a hundred people in the manor died, including his mother, Zhou Haiping, and his pregnant concubine! All of this was because of the man beside him! No, to be precise, it was because of Feng Lan!
