Shocking Venomous Consort: Frivolous Miss Chapter 969 - That Heartless Man

Chapter 969: That Heartless Man

“You stay here and don’t act rashly,” said Aunt Yi to Qing Lingyan after watching the Blood Beast Sect leader and several elders leave.
“I think that mechanism is very powerful. Do you have a way to unlock it?” asked Qing Lingyan.
“My family has been a mechanism master for generations. All the mechanisms in the sect were created by my ancestor,” said Aunt Yi confidently.
The familiar feeling of strangeness crept back into Qing Lingyan’s heart. She had followed Aunt Yi deep into the heart of Blood Beast Sect, but they had not encountered any defensive mechanisms along the way. If it had been elsewhere, it would have been fine, but this ancestral hall was an important place of the Blood Beast Sect. How could the defences be so weak? Now she finally understood. It turned out that Aunt Yi had bypassed the traps, thus they could reach the vicinity of the ancestral hall without any danger.
“Wait for me here first. If anything happens, remember the path you came from. When you return, you will not be stopped.” Aunt Yi did not want Qing Lingyan to interfere in this matter. After she finished speaking, she quietly sneaked into the ancestral hall.
The lights in the ancestral hall were still flickering as Aunt Yi stood in front of the memorial tablets of the previous generations of sect leaders. She kowtowed to the memorial tablets and said, “Dear ancestors, the unfilial Aunt Yi temporarily seeks the use of the treasure. Once we get our revenge, we will return it as it is. I hope that my dear ancestors will grant us our wish.”
With that, Aunt Yi performed the same movements as the sect leader earlier. Her fingers moved quickly as her True Qi flowed through, bringing out a complex yet dazzling light.
The mechanism opened, revealing the wooden box. Aunt Yi suppressed her excitement and took it out. She let out a long sigh and was about to turn around and leave.
“Aunt Yi, you are finally back.” At this moment, the Blood Beast Sect leader’s leisurely voice came from behind her.
“Sect Leader!” Aunt Yi suddenly turned around and saw the Blood Beast Sect leader. Her face grew deathly pale and her hand trembled, almost dropping the wooden box on the ground.
“Aunt Yi, did you come back this time for this treasure?” The Blood Beast Sect leader’s expression was relatively calm, but the majesty in her eyes still made Aunt Yi’s heart tremble.
“Sect Leader, I only want to avenge Fengyun. I didn’t have the intention to take the treasure for myself.” Aunt Yi was so scared that she knelt on the ground and explained repeatedly.
“You actually want to avenge that heartless man?” The Blood Beast Sect leader’s face was full of regret. She lamented Fengyun’s misfortune, but she was also angry that Aunt Yi was willing to fight for it.
“Sect leader, I know that Fengyun is different. I also hate him. I also wanted to kill him with my own hands. However, he is the only person I have ever loved in my life. I just want to avenge him,” said Aunt Yi bitterly.
“Do you think that you can avenge him with this treasure?” asked the Blood Beast Sect leader faintly. But immediately after, she seemed to have changed her mind as she said, “I understand. By stealing this treasure to frame your enemy, you want to borrow the hand of Blood Beast Sect to take revenge for you, right?” Having lived for nearly three hundred years, the Blood Beast Sect leader had long seen through the ways of the world. With a slight change in perspective, she understood Aunt Yi’s plan.
“Sect Leader, this is the only thing left that I want to do. I hope Sect Leader will allow me to fulfil it. As long as I can avenge Fengyun, I am willing to do whatever you ask of me.” Aunt Yi kowtowed heavily. Her thoughts had been seen through, so she no longer needed to hide them. She knew that her plan to lie would not work, so she could only beg bitterly.
“You can get up.” said the Blood Beast Sect leader to Aunt Yi with a hint of pity.
“Lord Sect Leader, does that mean you agree?” Aunt Yi raised her head in surprise.
“Aunt Yi, I’ve watched you grow up. If it were anything else, I could help you. It’s just that sixteen years have passed, and now is the critical moment for the survival of our sect. It’s really not appropriate to stir up trouble. You should give up and put the treasure back. I will pretend that this did not happen.” said the Blood Beast Sect leader.
