“Why can’t I hate her? She and I are twins. Be it in terms of looks or martial strength, I’m not inferior to her. Just because I was born a few minutes later than her, she was chosen to be the successor of the High Priest, while I can only be her Guardian?”
The man with red lips looked at Feng Lan, looking increasingly excited as he spoke, as though they shared a common enemy. “You’re right. If you were born a few minutes earlier than her, the position of the High Priest’s successor would have been yours.”
“Hmph!” Not only was Feng Lan unhappy to hear such agreement, but she was also even more furious. She walked to the table and sat down to pour herself a glass of wine before drinking it.
After drinking, she threw the glass to the ground. “This wine doesn’t even taste like that wine!”
The man with red lips looked at Feng Lan, and a glint flashed across his eyes. “Are you talking about the Hundred Flowers Wine that your king of the Kingdom of Phoenix Skies gets someone to brew for your sister every year?”
“How did you know?” Feng Lan was a little displeased.
“The next High Priestess of the Kingdom of Phoenix Skies likes to drink. Your king built the Flower Garden in the harem and specially brewed wine for her. This isn’t a secret.”
When Feng Ling heard this, a strange feeling suddenly flashed across her heart.
She suddenly remembered that when her older sister started coming into contact with wine at the age of eight, she had always felt that all kinds of wine weren’t delicious. After the king found out, he got someone to send her a jar of Hundred Flowers Wine. She had fallen in love with the Hundred Flowers Brew. At that time, the king had said that he would get someone to specially brew wine for her in the future.
It was obvious that Feng Lan became even more unhappy when she heard this.
She took out another glass, poured a glass of wine, and finished it in one go.
The man with red lips looked at her and said, “Don’t be angry. At most, you can just snatch all those things over.”
“I don’t care about the things that were prepared for her.”
“That’s right. As long as you replace her position, you can have whatever you want. In the future, you can even order all the Hundred Flowers Wine to disappear from this world.”
Feng Lan was obviously tempted by these words.
The man with red lips took the opportunity to change the topic and revealed his main purpose for coming today.
“Your sister is going to succeed the High Priest in five months. You have to do something at this time. Otherwise, when she succeeds the High Priest and possesses all the abilities of the High Priest, it will be too late.”
Feng Lan appeared to contemplate his words.
The man with red lips continued, “If you want to succeed the High Priest, there’s someone else you have to take note of. It’s your Grand General.”
When she heard the Grand General, Feng Lan angrily poured another glass of wine and drank it in one go.
The man with red lips continued, “The Grand General’s martial strength is too high. In the entire continent, no one can defeat him. For such a person, we have to think of a way to make him disappear. Otherwise, we have to win him over. Do you… think we can win him over?”
A black aura suddenly rose from Feng Lan’s body.
However, the man with red lips stopped there. He helped Feng Lan pour a glass of wine, and the glint in his eyes became even more intense. “There’s a way to make your Grand General unable to come back. I wonder if you want to hear it?”
“What way?”
“Use the demonic technique you practice to deal with the Grand General. When the time comes, if your sister wants to save him, she can only cripple her cultivation. This way, you can take her life while she’s ill.”
When Feng Lan heard this, she didn’t reply and drank another glass of wine.
The man with red lips added, “I heard that your king will announce his marriage to your older sister the world on the day she succeeds the High Priest…”
“What?”
“Haven’t you guessed this? Or have you been avoiding the truth?”
The black aura on Feng Lan’s body suddenly surged, and a fierce murderous aura assaulted the surroundings. The man with red lips sitting opposite her was shocked by the black aura until he clutched his chest and spat out a mouthful of blood. He quickly pleaded, “Lord Guardian, please show mercy.”
Feng Lan looked at the man with red lips. Her eyes had already turned dark. A ball of black aura gathered in her hand and she was about to attack him.
The man with red lips was so frightened that his face turned ashen. He quickly said loudly, “Don’t forget that I’m here to help you. Without the clean bead I gave you, the demonic aura on your body won’t be able to be concealed. Your sister will immediately notice it.”
These words finally made Feng Lan put away the black aura in her hand.
She stood up and walked towards the door.
The man with red lips reminded her from behind, “You’d better consider my suggestion quickly. I’m going back to report immediately.”
Feng Lan didn’t answer him and walked out after he finished speaking.
When the red-lipped man saw Feng Lan walk out, he smiled with ulterior motives.
He also turned around and walked towards the room inside.
After the two of them had left, Feng Ling walked into the room.
She only glanced around the room and saw the dudou that Feng Lan had taken from her place.
Feng Ling thought for a while and didn’t take the dudou away. Instead, she used a talisman to wipe off all her aura. This dudou was now equivalent to a dudou that had never been used before.
After doing all of this, she walked out of the door.
Feng Lan only came out to take a walk because her thoughts were a little messy. As she walked, she arrived at a rather remote place. She originally wanted to stop and think about what the red-lipped man had suggested just now, but she suddenly felt a murderous aura. She immediately shouted, “Who is it? Come out.”
A person in black jumped out from behind a tree and attacked her at the same time.
Previously, Feng Ling would spar with Li Yan from time to time. With her heaven-defying learning abilities, she had quickly mastered Li Yan’s punches and kicks. Tonight, she especially used these punches and kicks to deal with Feng Lan.
After the two of them exchanged dozens of moves, Feng Lan actually couldn’t tell which sect the person opposite her came from at all. She wanted to call for someone to catch the intruder, but the other party seemed to have seen through her intentions. The other party took out a whip and quickly swept it at her.
“Who is it? Do you know the consequences of assassinating a guardian?” Feng Lan obviously wanted to find out who the black-clothed person was.
Feng Ling didn’t even respond.
Every whip she lashed out imitated Li Yan’s technique, ruthless and fatal.
Feng Lan had originally come out for a stroll and didn’t bring any weapons with her. After dozens of moves, she was whipped once.
This whip thoroughly angered her. She jumped up and quickly jumped onto a tree. With a swoosh, she used her internal energy to send countless leaves flying towards Feng Ling.
Feng Ling knew when to stop. She turned around and jumped to the other side.
Feng Lan chased after the assassin and quickly shouted for the guards to catch them.
Feng Ling stopped on a rooftop and glanced at Feng Lan, who had followed her over. The corners of her lips curled up and she jumped towards the palace.
Feng Lan followed closely behind.
Along the way, Feng Lan called for help as she chased after the assassin. Soon, a large group of guards arrived.
Feng Ling arrived at the side of the palace and asked Phoenix to teleport her back.
She had just changed out of her clothes and was sitting there with a book when a servant came in to report to her. “Greetings, Priestess. An assassin has barged into the Guardian’s courtyard.”
Feng Ling looked up and asked with a dark expression, “Has the assassin been caught?”
“No.”
Feng Ling put down her book and walked out of the door.
The maidservant quickly followed. “Priestess, the Guardian has already chased her way to the palace. I’m afraid the king has already been alerted.”
“Mm.”
As Chu Luo spoke, her figure flashed and she arrived outside the palace.
Indeed, there was already a crowd here, and the words ‘Catch the assassin!’ could be heard everywhere.
Feng Lan was stopped by the head butler.
Feng Lan was a little anxious. “The assassin must have entered the palace. If you stop me and let him escape or injure the king, can you bear the consequences?”
“Protector Feng, there are many guards in the palace. It’s impossible not to catch a mere assassin.”
“But…”
“What’s going on?”
“Greetings, Priestess.”
When Feng Ling walked over, Feng Lan quickly said to her in an aggrieved tone, “Sister, an assassin entered my courtyard just now and even injured me.”
After saying that, she raised her arm. Indeed, her sleeve had been torn by the whip, and there was a lot of blood on it.
Feng Ling glanced at her wrist and frowned as she thought: ‘I whipped her too lightly.’
“Does it hurt?”
“It hurts.”
As Feng Lan spoke, her eyes turned watery. Her petite appearance was simply pitiful.
Feng Ling said to the head butler with a straight face, “Capture the assassin and send him to me. I’ll interrogate him myself.”
“Yes, Priestess.”
Feng Ling then said to Feng Lan, “Sister, go back and apply the medicine first. I’ll deal with the assassin.”
“But…”
Feng Lan kept feeling that Feng Ling shouldn’t be treating her like this. Logically speaking, Feng Ling should have pulled her back to her bedchamber to apply medicine. Why did she ask her to go back by herself tonight?
At this moment, a guard captain walked out of the palace and arrived in front of Feng Ling. He first bowed to her and said, “Priestess, the king invites you in to catch the assassin.”
When Feng Lan heard this, a dark glint flashed across her eyes.
On what basis was she not allowed to enter after talking for so long? The moment her older sister arrived, the king let her in!
Feng Ling had been paying attention to Feng Lan’s reaction, so she naturally didn’t miss her instant transformation.
She said to the guard captain, “It’s late. I’ll come over tomorrow morning.”
With that, she gestured for Feng Lan to leave.
Feng Ling’s rejection twisted Feng Lan’s heart even more.
The next morning, Feng Ling went to the palace.
The head butler invited her to the main hall of the Dragon Court Palace. Unexpectedly, when Feng Ling entered, a group of maidservants walked in at the same time with breakfast.
The king, who was sitting at the dining table, tilted his head to look at her and said, “Come and eat breakfast.”
Feng Ling: “…”
Previously, she hadn’t felt it, but now, she felt an indescribable sense of ambiguity.
Feng Ling felt terrible when she thought about how her sister was going to marry him after becoming the High Priestess.
How could she still marry the king when she was already married?
Feng Ling was suddenly a little vexed, thinking about how to make him dismiss this idea..
