Mr. Feng Er, who had been submerged in the lake, was finally pulled out. It was Feng Ling who made the move, using the tracking technique unique to the Feng Yin clan to find Mr. Feng Er.
The person pulled out could no longer be recognized as his original self; only the clothes vaguely resembled those of Mr. Feng Er.
"Second Uncle..." Feng Ling blurted out involuntarily.
Feng Xian covered her mouth, unable to believe that this person was her Second Uncle, but she knew Feng Ling's tracking technique would not be wrong.
"Mr. Feng Er..." The King of Beijiang couldn't help but turn his head away.
"Who exactly committed this deed?" Feng Ling gritted her teeth and asked word by word.
The Great Elder walked over and asked, "Your Highness, who has so cruelly harmed the Feng Yin clan?"
The King of Beijiang sighed and said, "Elder, the person is already dead, please accept your condolences!"
"Your Highness, please inform us!" Feng Ling stepped forward and said word by word.
The King of Beijiang looked at the young girl in front of him and said, "Miss Feng, I know you are upset for your Second Uncle, but that person is you, someone your Feng Yin clan dare not move."
"You are mistaken. I am the clan leader of the Feng Yin clan. There is no one I dare not move. Tell me..." Feng Ling gritted her teeth and said word by word.
The King of Beijiang was stunned. He looked at the girl, who seemed not yet to have reached her coming-of-age, and was the clan leader of the Feng Yin clan. He was extremely surprised.
He couldn't help but glance at the elder.
"Your Highness, she is indeed the clan leader of our Feng Yin clan, genuine and true!" the Great Elder said.
The King of Beijiang sighed. "I didn't want to tell you, after all, you..."
"Your Highness, please tell us the truth!" Feng Ling bowed her hands in front of her.
"Fine, I'll tell you!" The King of Beijiang said with a helpless expression and continued, "Mr. Feng and Mr. Feng Er were both killed by Xue Zi Ning."
Feng Ling trembled all over and took several steps back. "How... how is that possible?"
The King of Beijiang sighed. "I didn't want to say it, because it would affect the agreement between you and the imperial family. But I can't bear to have you kept in the dark."
After a long time, Feng Ling raised her eyes, her eyes filled with a bloody red, and asked word by word, "Is it really her?"
"Yes, I have no reason to lie to you, after all, I am also a member of the imperial family," the King of Beijiang said.
"Why?" Feng Xian, standing beside her, asked.
The King of Beijiang sighed. "Xue Zi Ning wanted to kill me. Mr. Feng couldn't stand it, so he stepped forward to help me. But I didn't expect that as the Empress, she would have no trace of compassion, and killed Mr. Feng and Mr. Feng Er."
"Why did they help you?" Feng Xian asked the King of Beijiang again.
"Because they wanted my help."
Feng Xian narrowed her eyes. "What in our Feng Yin clan requires Your Highness's help?"
"Xue Wen Jie is my father," the King of Beijiang said slowly.
Feng Xian was stunned. "This..."
"They wanted me to go to the Feng Yin clan and help someone."
Feng Xian sighed. "Elder Uncle and Second Uncle were both for the Fifth Elder."
"Where is Xue Zi Ning now?" Feng Ling suddenly asked, her expression colder than ever, exuding a chilling aura.
"In the Feng Yin clan," the King of Beijiang replied.
Feng Ling was stunned. "In my clan? How is that possible..."
"It's possible..." the Great Elder suddenly said.
"No wonder the soul lamp was triggered by her..." Feng Xian couldn't help but say.
Feng Ling trembled all over. That sister? She is Xue Zi Ning?
She took a step back and shook her head. "No... impossible..."
Feng Xian stepped forward and said, "Feng Ling, that woman is not a good person. You don't believe it, and now you're still unwilling to face the reality?"
Feng Ling raised her eyes, her gaze filled with confusion. "You want me to accept reality, but..."
"Your Highness, can you tell me the specifics?" the Great Elder asked, stepping forward.
The King of Beijiang nodded. "Of course, I can."
Everyone had left. Feng Xian sat on the ground and looked at Feng Ling, who was sitting there. "I know you don't want to face the truth, but do you want to watch Elder Uncle and Second Uncle die without their grievances being redressed?"
"I... I didn't..."
"But look at them, they died with their eyes wide open. Feng Ling, shouldn't we avenge them?"
Feng Ling gritted her teeth. "But I still don't believe my sister is the murderer. She..."
Feng Xian snorted upon hearing this. "Don't tell me you're going to say she killed someone with a good reason? Feng Ling, if you're unwilling to act, fine, I'll do it myself..."
"Second Sister, I didn't say I wouldn't act. I... I just want to clarify things," Feng Ling said.
"It's already very clear, how much clearer do you want it?" Feng Xian questioned.
"Feng Xian, killing is simple, but if you kill the wrong person, have you ever thought about the consequences?" Feng Ling looked up at Feng Xian and asked.
Feng Xian sneered. "Can the consequences be worse than Elder Uncle and Second Uncle?"
"Feng Xian, we are committing regicide. If we fail, the Feng Yin clan will be annihilated. Do you know that?"
Feng Xian was stunned, then said, "So what? Our Feng Yin clan retaliates against any insult. She should have thought of this when she killed someone."
"Feng Xian, what Feng Ling said is not wrong. This matter needs to be planned carefully," the Great Elder said.
"Great Elder." Feng Ling's eyes lit up.
Feng Xian was unconvinced and said, "Great Elder, Elder Uncle and Second Uncle died tragically. As clan members, shouldn't we avenge them?"
The Great Elder heard this and said, "If there was no reason and the Empress killed our clansmen, this grievance should be questioned directly to the Empress and then resolved, not discussed here."
"Great Elder, don't you want to avenge them?"
"Feng Xian, your killing intent is too heavy. Sometimes killing cannot solve anything. There are still some questions in this matter. I hope you will investigate secretly first, and then make a decision."
Feng Ling nodded. "Great Elder, I agree with your statement."
"The Great Elder only helps Feng Ling. I will not agree with your statement." Feng Xian turned and left.
"Second Sister..." Feng Ling called out.
Feng Xian left without looking back.
The Great Elder stepped forward and said slowly, "Feng Xian's malevolence is too heavy. It's good for her to think it through herself. However, you need to pay more attention to her and prevent her from going down the wrong path."
Feng Ling nodded. "Great Elder, don't worry, I will."
Feng Xian kicked the stones under her feet fiercely. She knew the Great Elder favored Feng Ling, and that Feng Ling was more obedient and listened to the elders more, which was why they chose her as the clan leader.
Clearly, she was more mature than Feng Ling in both skill and intellect, but they still did not choose her.
Clearly, she was more suitable to be the clan leader and lead the clan than Feng Ling, but they still chose Feng Ling.
Why?
She didn't understand, she really didn't understand.
"Would you like some wine?" A slender hand offered a wine glass.
Feng Xian was slightly startled. She looked up and saw a figure.
