Gong Mingyue tapped his long, slender fingers rhythmically on the table, his eyes slightly narrowed. Back on Blue Star, those people already knew that Jiu'er possessed a divine artifact. As for the divine beast, the portrait, and the twin lotus blossoms... a white figure flashed through Gong Mingyue's mind.
"What's been going on with Xin Yao lately?"
Zi Yu stepped forward and respectfully said, "Reporting to Master, Xin Yao has been frequently appearing in Sifang City recently. I suspect that she was the one who instigated those portraits of the mistress..."
Gong Mingyue suspected her first, because only she and the Feng family knew that Jiu'er had twin lotus flowers on her body, and the Feng family was not so foolish as to reveal these things.
"Longyang, now that you've heard about it, why aren't you investigating?"
"Yes, Your subordinate takes his leave!"
“Master, General Jingyuan and General Yuanhou were both subordinates of Qingcang in the past. They both cared for Xinyao very much, but Xinyao only went to the Jing residence and never to the Yuan residence. I find this a bit suspicious.”
Before Gong Mingyue could speak, Wuxin stepped forward and said, "Master, hearing what Ziyu said reminds me of a while ago when I encountered General Yuanhou's son and Xin Yao going to pay respects to General Qingcang."
"Ziyu, keep an eye on Xinyao. Wuxin, go and investigate the Yuan family."
Zi Yu was somewhat puzzled. Shouldn't the investigation be focused on the Jing family? Why did her master send Wu Xin to investigate the Yuan family?
"Yes, Your Majesty, I obey!"
"Yingyue, go investigate Kamakura's hiding place. Yin Han, keep an eye on the movements around the Lan family."
"Yes, Your subordinate obeys."
As dawn broke, Ji Jiuying got up very early, only to find that Gong Mingyue beside her had already disappeared and flashed into the space. She was able to get up so early because she had noticed the strange activity in the space.
"Xiangling, you're done with your seclusion? How are you feeling?"
"It's alright now. I just never expected that I would be so badly affected by my own power that I would have to go into seclusion to cultivate and recover!"
Hei Xiangling sighed, but her gaze fell on Dongfang Yao, Xuanwu, and Lingxiao not far away, with the Fire Qilin standing beside them!
What is he doing here!
Hei Xiangling caught a faint smell of blood: "You brat, what's going on? Are they fighting?"
Ji Jiuying pouted and recounted what happened yesterday. Upon hearing this, Hei Xiangling immediately felt a chill for the others. Fortunately, she was in seclusion cultivating, otherwise she would definitely have been used as a punching bag by that monster and beaten black and blue.
The two of them left the space together, just as Feng Lan came looking for them.
"Jiu'er, Xiangling, I've made breakfast. Come and eat some!"
After breakfast, the group prepared to go to the Lan family's house.
"Wait a minute, uncles!"
Feng Che and Feng Wu looked at Ji Jiuying in confusion. They saw that Ji Jiuying had a writing brush and two stones in her hand. One stone emitted a colorful light, and the other emitted a dark light.
Feng Che recognized the two stones at a glance, and a look of surprise flashed across his face!
"These are Holy Light Stone and Obsidian!"
“That’s right, Second Uncle. This obsidian is a gift from me. As for this Holy Light Stone, I’ll trouble you to help me forge this staff!” With that, he handed the ice-type staff to Feng Che.
"no problem."
Feng Che accepted the two stones and the ice-type staff.
"And these books, I hope they will be of some help to my second uncle."
Feng Che took the book from her hand with a puzzled look, opened it and glanced at it. His eyes widened in disbelief. After flipping through a few more pages, he quickly closed the book, his shock lingering for a long time.
"Second brother, could it be some kind of divine artifact forging technique?"
Feng Che nodded slightly. Looking at the ink and brush, it seemed to have been copied not long ago, and Feng Che was secretly alarmed.
"Jiu'er, this is too precious..."
"Second Uncle, please accept it. I've seen you running back and forth across several continents for my mother and me these past few days. Besides, you're my own uncle. If I'm not good to you, who else should I be good to?"
"That's right, Second Brother, this is also Jiu'er's heartfelt gift, please accept it!"
"Then your uncle will not refuse."
Ji Jiuying's lips curled up slightly: "This is yours, Fifth Uncle."
Fengwu was somewhat surprised: "Jiu'er, I have one too?"
Ji Jiuying nodded and placed the Immortal Brush and Painting in Feng Wu's hand, but neither Feng Wu nor Feng Che recognized the Immortal Brush and Painting.
"This pen is called the Immortal Brush, which can absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and use it to create ink to draw powerful talismans."
The two were so shocked that their mouths could have fit two eggs, and Fengwu's hand holding the magic brush trembled involuntarily.
"Using the essence of heaven and earth as ink, isn't this the divine brush that people talk about?"
Fengwu pinched his face hard, and the pain made him realize that the magic brush really existed!
"Fifth Uncle, with this, you'll be a Celestial God-level Talisman Master in no time."
Tears of emotion welled up in Feng Wu's eyes, and he hugged Ji Jiu Ying tightly, bursting into tears.
"Jiu'er, you must be my second parents!"
"No way, I don't have a son as old as you..."
puff--
Hei Xiangling could no longer hold back her laughter, and Feng Che helplessly pulled Feng Wu over.
"Alright, since Jiu'er is giving it to you, just accept it. But remember, you must not let anyone else know about this magic brush and divine talisman."
"Understood, Second Brother!"
The group went outside, where Xiao Huang'er and Feng Lan had been waiting for a long time!
For safety's sake, Ji Jiuying had Ling Xiao transform into a bracelet and wrap it around Feng Lan's wrist. Feng Lan felt a chill on her wrist and looked at Ji Jiuying in confusion.
Ji Jiuying simply explained to her that it was just an ordinary ornament. She knew that if Feng Lan knew it was her contracted beast, she definitely wouldn't be willing to wear it. After all, everyone in the Heavenly Realm was watching her, and having an extra spirit beast would provide more protection.
Soon, the group appeared near the Lan family's residence.
"Xiangling, go and check if there are any suspicious people near the Lan family."
"Alright!"
As soon as the sound faded, it transformed into a streak of light and disappeared from the spot.
Soon after, Hei Xiangling returned.
“Girl, there are several groups of people near the Lan family! Could these people be waiting for you and Feng Meiren?” Hei Xiangling gently stroked her chin, thinking.
Feng Wu frowned. Several groups of people? He was certain that one of them was the Feng family's secret guards. He hadn't forgotten his elder brother's plan to capture Lan'er to lure Jiu'er into a trap.
At this moment, Hei Xiangling's face darkened.
"Someone is coming."
Several people frowned and quickly found a secluded place to hide.
Two men appeared on the open ground where they had just been standing; they were Feng Yu and Lan Zhao.
The group exchanged glances. What were they doing here?
"Feng Yu, are you sure they'll come today?"
“I’m sure that my father’s bodyguards are all around the Lan family now. If my aunt and cousin come here, they will definitely fall into a trap.”
"So we need to tell them this news before they arrive?"
"yes."
Lan Zhao looked at Feng Yu with a puzzled expression. Was this the reason he came to the Lan family?
