Chapter 409: The End of Loyalty
Feng Huifenglan and Feng Ying took turns holding the little immortal emperor, both beaming with joy and unable to put him down.
Seeing a born Celestial Emperor in person is far more impactful than receiving a message through a communication token.
Especially when they saw that a baby girl who was not even a month old could use her spiritual power to condense phoenixes of different colors to play with her.
Grandpa Feng Hui was extremely excited: "Divine Phoenix bloodline, she really does have the Divine Phoenix bloodline!"
Feng Lanyi was so excited that tears welled up in his eyes: "I never thought that our Feng family would have the bloodline of the Divine Phoenix, and that two of our descendants would awaken. Our ancestors have protected us, our ancestors have protected us!"
Having lived for over seven thousand years, he was very shrewd and didn't forget to thank Shen Yao: "Granddaughter-in-law, thank you for your hard work."
He knew that Shen Yao's bloodline was special, and if she were to marry another woman, they might not be able to have a baby born to an immortal emperor.
The elders were reasonable, and Shen Yao also acted generously: "It's not hard work, it's not hard work. Qing'er is well-behaved and didn't make me suffer."
Since the child was vomited up anyway, and vomiting it up would result in a Celestial Emperor, Shen Yao didn't feel tired at all.
This is such a great deal!
Since the Feng family has an array point and the teleportation array between Qiwu City and Chong City is already open, Shen Yao should take Feng Yu and Feng Qing back to the Feng family.
Shen Yao also wanted to return to Qiwu City to see Baisong.
Jiang Ming was not entirely at ease and wanted to go along.
Feng Lan knew what he was worried about; he was afraid that the Feng family would keep the Immortal Emperor's baby in their possession and never send him back.
Shen Yao pulled him aside and comforted him, "What are you afraid of? Qing'er is my own daughter. Would they really try to take her away from her own mother?"
Jiang Ming thought more deeply: "That's a Celestial Emperor's baby. Anyone who has the chance will stop at nothing to snatch it."
Shen Yao stared intently into his eyes, making him somewhat flustered: "And what about you? You're eager to take care of the child, is it because Qing'er is an Immortal Emperor?"
Jiang Ming felt extremely wronged. She had agreed to take care of him when she was pregnant, and it wasn't like he was taken away because he had awakened.
"How could you think of me like that? Of course I'm only eager to take care of the child because you gave birth to him."
Otherwise, did she think he was always so free? So free that he was vying to take care of the kids to pass the time?
His lips turned down, looking as aggrieved as a baby.
It's hard to imagine that the cold and domineering Jiang Ming would have such an expression on his face.
Since she had wronged him, she had to coax him. Shen Yao shook his sleeve and used her coquettish manner: "I wronged you, I'm sorry. It's just that Yunhe hasn't been back to the Feng family for many years. It's not appropriate for me to bring you back for the first time."
Jiang Ming was silent for a moment, then finally compromised: "Then you have to bring the child back, or I'll go to the Feng family and snatch him away."
Shen Yao was amused; he was really suited to be a stay-at-home dad: "Okay, we have to bring him back."
Qiwu City, Feng Family.
Since the child is still young, the elders of the Feng family discussed it and decided not to disclose Feng Qing's level information for the time being.
Qing'er's direct descendants in the Feng family, that's enough for them to know.
This decision is similar to the True God Sect's concealment of the Stone Treasure's level.
It's all for the sake of protecting children.
The Celestial Emperor's baby is a treasure of the world. To avoid outsiders coveting it, it's best not to reveal the child until he reaches adulthood.
Shen Yao sent a message to Bai Song as soon as she arrived at the Feng family home, but Bai Song did not come.
He only replied that Shen Yao should meet him alone when she had time.
Shen Yao found it strange that Zhao Bin and Lan Yingwanli had lost contact with her ever since she asked about the reconstruction of the Lingcao Sect.
Bai Song also became increasingly indifferent to her, and after learning that she had accepted Jiang Ming, he often ignored her.
She could understand if her senior classmates couldn't accept her being with Jiang Ming.
But Bai Song and Jiang Ming have no grudges against each other, so why is this happening?
Shen Yao guessed that it was probably because Jiang Ming had a bad reputation and her brother didn't like him.
But every time she tried to communicate, Bai Song avoided talking about those issues.
After introducing Feng Qing to the elders of the Feng family and Feng Yu's siblings, Shen Yao said she wanted to visit her brother.
Bai Song has deliberately distanced himself from them over the years, a fact that Feng Yu and Shen Yao deeply understand.
Feng Yu took Feng Qing from her eldest sister's arms and accompanied her.
They returned at a good time; the phoenix flowers in Qiwu City were in full bloom.
Clusters of fiery red flowers illuminated the entire city of Qiwu with the glow of sunset.
In Baisong's courtyard, there was also a tree called "Sunset Glow".
The vermilion gate was tightly shut. Shen Yao knocked on the doorbell and said, "Brother, I'm back."
Bai Song had been waiting inside the door for a long time. He stared blankly at the door bolt, ignoring Shen Yao's knocking from the outside.
"Brother, it's me, Shen Yao."
Shen Yao patted the door and waited. It wasn't until she knocked on the door for the fifth time that the door opened from the inside.
Seeing Shen Yao, who had become a completely unfamiliar person, Bai Song felt no joy at being reunited with his sister.
His expression and tone were almost indifferent: "Immortal Venerable Shen, Immortal Emperor Feng, please come in."
Shen Yao and Feng Yu seemed to have been doused with cold water. Feng Yu asked in confusion, "Why is brother-in-law being so polite?"
Bai Song turned to the side and took a half step back to invite them in: "Feng Xiandi, just call me by my name. Please come in."
The couple stood outside the door without moving.
Shen Yao frowned and asked, "Brother, what do you mean? Don't you acknowledge me as your sister anymore?"
Bai Song glanced at her coldly, then looked away: "Since you two don't want to come in, then let's leave it at that."
"Immortal Shen, I know you are not my sister."
Shen Yao's phoenix eyes widened suddenly, wanting to explain but unable to find the words.
“Our parents passed away early, and I raised Luo’er from a young age. Although you have her memories, you don’t have her habits.”
Bai Song didn't care about Shen Yao's feelings; he had wanted to come clean long ago.
"Before the Spirit Herb Sect was rebuilt, the True God Sect sent the remains of Sect Master Zhao and Luo'er."
"The head guard sent a message saying that you are a fairy from elsewhere who happened to be resurrected and borrowed my sister's body for a few days. He told us not to involve you in the sect's feud."
He turned around and looked directly into Shen Yao's eyes: "Immortal Shen, whether you admit it or not, the Sect Master of the Spirit Herb Sect did indeed take you as his disciple and has been kind enough to teach you for half a year."
"And my sister Bai Luo will never marry and have children with the enemy who killed her master."
He didn't want to say anything more unpleasant.
He stared at Shen Yao for a moment, and seeing that she had nothing to say, he closed the door and saw her out: "After today, we have nothing to do with each other anymore. Immortal Shen, Immortal Emperor Feng, please leave."
"Wait." Shen Yao reached out to stop him from closing the door: "It's not like that. I was with Jiang Ming after I learned that my senior brothers and sisters had reconciled with him..."
"They're using the remains of Sect Leader Zhao and Luo'er as leverage, how can we not reconcile?" Bai Song's eyes flashed with a fierce light as he growled, "Even if Zhao Bin and the others wish they could die together with Jiang Ming, do you expect us to just stand by and watch the remains of Sect Leader Zhao and my sister be pulverized?"
He said, slowly and deliberately, "Immortal Shen, stop calling them senior brothers and sisters. They don't want to acknowledge you."
After saying that, he showed no mercy, slammed the door shut, and quickly bolted it shut.
The bright red paint on the door was glaringly bright. Shen Yao pounded on the door in frustration: "Why didn't you say so sooner? Why didn't you say so sooner?"
Large tears fell onto the threshold, but there was no reply or sound from inside.
Bai Song did not linger at the door. His long robe swept across the weeds in the yard as he moved further and further away from the voices of questioning.
He had thought about this situation many times.
Why didn't you tell me earlier?
Because they hate it.
They accepted Jiang Ming's threats and inducements, but they couldn't let it go.
They hoped that Shen Yao, who was kept in the dark, would kill Jiang Ming for them.
But she eventually married Jiang Ming.
To be fair, Shen Yao doesn't owe them anything.
We're on different paths, so let's just sever all ties and friendships; it's better for everyone.
