Chapter 63 The Secret Revealed
Chapter 63 The Secret Revealed
She ate the entire breakfast table by herself.
Zhongli Yueluo was both annoyed and amused.
Almost every time, she would finish eating the food on the table before coming to find her, and then it would take a long time to find her.
She revealed two dimples, smiled brightly, and waved to her: "I'm sorry, I'll definitely come to see you next time."
Then he walked over to her side, and she grinned, showing her sharp teeth and frowning as she glanced at Su Fengling. The two of them didn't get along very well.
Su Fengling snorted and turned his face to the side, but his hand was still tightly gripping her sleeve.
He Yuhuan deliberately stood between them, pushing Su Fengling aside and grabbing Zhong Liyueluo's sleeve.
Su Fengling clenched his fists, then looked down at her defiantly: "He Yuhuan!"
He Yuhuan narrowed her eyes into crescent moons and ignored him completely.
Following her, Su Fengling had no choice but to walk behind them.
He was still angry, so he deliberately stepped on her heel, and her eyes turned cold.
"Do you believe I can kill you with a single blow?" he said with utmost seriousness.
Her gaze was sharp; she wasn't joking.
After all, she is only small in appearance, but in reality she is a monster over five thousand years old.
Su Fengling's eyes also darkened; he really couldn't beat her.
Zhongli Yueluo patted He Yuhuan's head: "Yuhuan, he meant no harm."
"Hmph!" She tilted her head back haughtily.
Su Fengling didn't even look at her; Zhongli Yueluo's gaze fell on him.
"You too, why bother arguing with Yu Huan?"
In contrast, Yan Ruoyu, walking beside her, maintained a just-right distance.
His face remained calm and composed as he watched them bicker with a smile.
"Sister! I'm your prince consort!" he said, sounding aggrieved.
Finally, he found it strange that He Yuhuan wasn't positioned between Zhongli Yueluo and Yan Ruoyu.
This old monster is deliberately targeting him, isn't he? But he could do that too.
He walked to the other side of Zhongli Yueluo, getting stuck between him and Yan Ruoyu. Yan Ruoyu's expression remained unchanged, and she even moved to the side.
Upon arriving at the Wind Spirit Courtyard, the ghost guards wisely moved to the outside to stand watch.
They never liked to gossip, because those above them had their own arrangements, and all they needed to do was follow orders.
Su Fengjun has disappeared and hasn't returned yet.
Su Fengling felt much more comfortable back at her place.
He casually sat down on a bench in the courtyard, and Zhongli Yueluo sat next to him.
Yan Ruoyu stood there, looking around, while He Yuhuan jumped onto Zhongli Yueluo's lap.
She wasn't heavy at all, and even sitting on Zhongli Yueluo's lap didn't feel like a burden.
Then he grinned and made a face at Su Fengling.
That means I can sit on my master's lap, but you can't.
Su Fengling held a plate of fruit and offered it to Zhongli Yueluo's mouth. She took it; those two childish devils.
After a while of this stalemate, Su Fengjun returned from outside, his expression indifferent.
But he gave Yan Ruoyu a slight smile, and Yan Ruoyu returned the gesture with a slight bow.
This does indeed have the feel of a gentleman's friendship.
He then glanced at Su Fengling, his expression softening as he put the fruit aside: "Brother, you're back."
He nodded and sat down with Yan Ruoyu. Although they hadn't spent much time together, a strange trust had formed between them.
"Young Master Yan, I think you should at least give us an explanation for what happened today."
Su Fengjun speaks much more gently, which makes him more acceptable to people.
Upon hearing this, Zhongli Yueluo picked up He Yuhuan and placed her on a stool to the side.
With a serious expression, he said, "Then it would be best to set up a restriction to prevent others from overhearing what we are about to say."
He Yuhuan and Su Fengling attacked simultaneously, and two layers of misty barriers slowly sealed off their space.
Now, no one outside can hear what they're saying inside.
Yan Ruoyu held the Xuan Gu Fan in her hand and clapped her palms, about to speak.
Zhongli Yueluo glanced around, seemingly having thought for a long time, and said, "Let me speak first."
When everyone heard her say that, all eyes turned to her.
Her eyes darkened as she pondered where to begin.
Let's start with their meeting with Yan Ruoyu; they had reached an agreement long ago.
After the marriage selection was over, he had Yan Ruoyu deal with Zhong Liyu, and that's how they ended up looking like this.
“I think our three races, no, our four races, should be honest with each other and shouldn’t have any secrets.”
"Since you have chosen to stand on my side, I will tell you everything I know, and I hope you will not hide anything from me."
Zhongli Yueluo began to recount her background, and then mentioned her mother.
The Su brothers knew this, and Yan Ruoyu also roughly knew it.
Finally, she spoke up: "Actually, my mother is now in the Wind Spirit Ghost Clan."
Yan Ruoyu was unaware of this, but he wasn't surprised; he nodded slightly.
“I did have a verbal agreement with Zhongli Yu, but all the princesses knew about it, and now you all know about it too.”
Although Su Fengling heard the whole story, her impression of him didn't improve much.
He may say he has no grudge, but if he sees it again, he might still tattle on it.
"And today, we have gathered here to talk about the lantern festival."
"The lantern festival will last for several days, and I can't guarantee on which day they will tamper with it."
"But the most likely time would be when I'm traveling with one of the prince consorts to Huaqiao."
"Does the princess mean that Guichouyuan will rebel on this day? But so far, things have been calm."
Su Fengjun squinted as he recounted the information he had received.
“Ghost Sorrow Abyss is only external; I’m referring to West Demon Mountain. I’m afraid Gongshu Clan and Yin Manling have been itching to get started for a long time.”
"Therefore, my sovereign will arrange for us to leave after the lantern festival."
The Su brothers looked at her in confusion. Logically speaking, she should stay and fight with them. What did it mean to ask her to leave?
"Open the Northern Demon Mountain." Upon hearing the words "Northern Demon Mountain," Su Fengjun and the other man's expressions changed.
The Blood Demon Clan posed a far too great threat to their Ghost Clan.
Looking at the cold expressions on their faces, you can tell what they're thinking.
“I know you two have concerns, but I’m in your hands, what are you worried about? I can control them all.”
"What does the princess mean?" Su Fengjun stared into her eyes; he dared not gamble.
Zhongli Yueluo opened her palm and silently recited the incantation taught by He Yuhuan. The blood flute appeared in her hand.
"I am also of the Blood Demon bloodline, so I can control ghosts as well as control them."
"But with my limited strength, I can't control you all; I can only control those of the same bloodline."
Su Fengling frowned. She had lied; perhaps she was afraid they would be wary of her.
She is indeed very weak, and it would be incredibly easy for the three of them to kill her now.
But she still chose to reveal this life-saving trump card to them, which shows how much she trusted them.
Seeing that their expressions were still unfriendly, she continued.
"If Gongshu Shi and Zhongli Yu were to open up the Northern Demon Mountain first, the situation would be one of utter devastation for all living beings across the land."
"We could say that we are indirectly preventing them from opening the Northern Demon Mountain."
