Then, he noticed the phoenix in the sky.

As soon as he saw the imposing phoenix, he quietened down as his face turned pale.

He had lost all of his previous seemingly divine qualities.

"I'm only here because I want to fetch our master back, please don't stop me!"

He only blurted after quite a while!

"Great Elder, why are you still standing there? Quick, bring my master's corpse away so that she could be buried and rest in peace! This man doesn't only want to look at Master's beautiful appearance, Feng Ruqing that vicious woman has also used the polymorph potion to disguise herself as Master!"

Tang Yin was shocked.

Just because Tang Yu was afraid that the Great Elder of Fengyun Manor would find out that Feng Ruqing was Nalan Yan's daughter, she had made up such an excuse with the polymorph potion?

However, before Feng Ruqing had turned pretty recently, she was a two hundred and fifty-pound beauty. Would this old fellow really have believed Tang Yu since that fact was not something difficult to find out?

"You, shut up!" Lei Yun glared at Tang Yu.

He would have already walked through the flame if he could. Why would he wait and stand there until now?

How stupid was Tang Yu to not able to notice that point? He had grown more suspicious as for why their manor master would take Tang Yu as her disciple!

On top of that, their manor master had actually handed her Fengyun Manor's token!

Lei Yun secretly gathered a puff of spiritual qi in his palms. His eyes looked fierce.

Suddenly, the spiritual qi transformed into a long sword and immediately struck Feng Tianyu.

The white phoenix was furious. How dare this old geezer hurt others in front of it?

Did this old geezer put it in his eyes?

Although this old geezer did not use much of his power as Feng Tianyu could totally evade the attack, still, that did not mean that he could tolerate his behavior!

The white phoenix hummed. It fanned up a strong wind with its wings and directed it at Lei Yun.

Lei Yun's eyes remained resolute as he did not bother to escape.

As for the long sword that was transformed from spiritual qi, it had turned a corner and struck at the door before it reached Feng Tianyu.

Bang! The door collapsed to the ground, causing the dust to float around.

At the same time...

The gust of wind that was summoned by the phoenix wings had thrown Lei Yun several meters away. He felt a throbbing pain in his chest and spat out a mouthful of blood. Then, he collapsed to the ground.

But his eyes… were fixed on the door that he had forced open.

Nervousness, anxiety, hope...

Many emotions were swirling in his eyes as he did not want to turn and look away.

Tang Yu still forced herself to look at the room even though her whole body was still twitching in pain. Suddenly, she was so shocked and looked even more hideous as her eyes were filled with horror and fear.

'No, impossible, that's impossible...'

***

In contrast with the commotion outside, a young girl next to the big wood-carve bed was holding a steaming spirit herb dish and carefully feeding it to Rong Yan.

Rong Yan, who should have been dead by now, was sitting on the bed. She slowly drank the spirit herb dish that was given by the young girl.

Feng Ruqing cared for nothing as she only wanted to feed Rong Yan, quietly. "Mother, be careful and don't choke yourself. We will rest for several days more after finis.h.i.+ng this, and your body will recover soon."

Rong Yan's eyes were gentle as the corners of her lips gently lifted. She was drinking the bowl of spirit herb dish, but she simply could not look away from Feng Ruqing's face.

A kind mother and a filial daughter. What a... scene of the deep love between a mother and a daughter.
