Chapter 546
After Feng Xin returned to normal, the order in Feng Mansion quickly returned to the right path.
Privately, after Feng Xin told Lan Cai'er that Ye Lingyue was still alive, Lan Cai'er swept away her worries and even caught Xiao Wuya and gave her a hard time for hiding the news.
Since Ye Lingyue was fine, Lan Cai'er decided to return to Daxia immediately. Feng Xin prepared carriages and horses and ordered people to send them out of Beiqing.
After learning that Feng Xin returned to normal, the happiest person was Xue Pianran. It seemed that Ye Lingyue was nothing more than this in Feng Xin's mind. After only a few days, Feng Xin had already forgotten her sadness.
Compared to Xue Pianran's joy, in Dan Palace, it was a different scene.
When traveling to Xingxiu Cave, Chen Hongru originally hoped that Wen Xu and others would be able to bring out Yi Shen Po Xu Gong, but he didn't know that the spiritual weapon was not brought out, and instead a lot of people were lost.
Especially the ghost emperor Wu Zhong suddenly sneaked into the Dan Palace, which made Chen Hongru very uneasy.
Ghost Emperor Wu Zhong, well, why would he be interested in Cave No. 1 of Xingxiu Cave? Chen Hongru suspected that Wu Zhong even sneaked into Xingxiu Cave.
But Elder Wang, who was guarding outside the Xingxiu Cave, said categorically that no one entered the Xingxiu Cave except when it was open, let alone the Ghost Emperor Wu Zhong.
Cave No. 1 of Xingxiu Cave is the real secret of Chen Hongru and even the Dan Palace, because it contains the Chaos Heaven and Earth Formation left over from ancient times. Chen Hongru’s achievements today are inseparable from the Chaos Heaven and Earth Formation.
But even Chen Hongru himself cannot enter the Chaos Heaven and Earth Formation casually unless he has reached the level of cultivation.
In order to determine whether Wu Zhong had broken into Xingxiu Cave, Chen Hongru carefully questioned Wen Xu and even Cong Lu afterwards, and even used the nine-star soul search technique, but there was no trace that Wu Zhong had been to Xingxiu Cave.
They unanimously said that Ye Lingyue used the God Yi to break the void bow and died together with the demon.
Chen Hongru then dropped his suspicions, but what Chen Hongru didn't expect was that the memories of Wen Xu and Cong Lu had already been tampered with by Wu Zhong.
After Lan Cai'er returned to Daxia with Xiao Wuya, she still looked grief-stricken to the outside world in order to hide her from others. In order to cover up Ye Lingyue's whereabouts, Lan Mansion and Ye Huangyu even held a funeral.
Similarly, the Hong Mansion is also holding funerals.
During the trip to Xingxiu Cave, the Hong Mansion also suffered heavy losses. Hong Yuying died in Xingxiu Cave, and even her body was not brought back.
Zhuge Rou and Hong Fang can't help but feel sentimental.
Especially Zhuge Rou, who lost her beloved daughter and has a bad temper these days, even hysterical.
Hong Fang had been having a thorn in his heart because of the incident in the palace earlier. He finally moved back to the room under Hong Qingyun's order. In the past few days, Zhuge Rou had been having recurring attacks, which made him have a headache, so he simply found another room.
He made an excuse and slept in the study, which made the relationship between the couple even worse.
Although Hong Mingyue and Hong Yulang successfully left the Xingxiu Cave, they were also injured. Especially the spoiled Hong Yulang fell ill after returning to the house and never recovered.
Hong Yuying's funeral was completed in a hurry, and a tomb was erected for her in the Hong Mansion. Zhuge Yi and Luo Song were temporarily recuperating in the Hong Mansion.
Late at night, father and daughter Hong Qingyun and Hong Fang sat in the meeting hall, together with a group of male family members of the Hong Mansion including Crown Prince Hong. Hong Mingyue was the only woman present.
Hong Yuying was just buried today. Hong Yuying was still wearing plain white mourning clothes and had a white chrysanthemum in her hair. She looked very beautiful.
After returning from Xingxiu Cave, Hong Mingyue had changed a lot. She didn't know whether it was Hong Yuying's death or the news that Ye Lingyue and Tian Yaohan died together that stimulated her.
Hong Qingyun didn't pay too much attention to Hong Yuying's death.
Among the grandchildren of Hong Yuying's generation, Hong Yuying has always been fond of Hong Qingyun. She has an arrogant temperament and average talent.
In comparison, Hong Qingyun values Hong Yulang and Hong Mingyue more. Hong Yulang is because he is a male and can inherit the Hong Mansion family business in the future and contribute to the Hong Mansion.
And Hong Mingyue is Hong Qingyun's most beloved granddaughter. In his opinion, whether Hong Mansion can truly rise depends on Hong Mingyue's future achievements.
In the past ten years, Hong Qingyun has always thought so, but it was not until Ye Lingyue appeared that Hong Qingyun doubted for the first time whether his judgment was wrong.
Fortunately, Ye Lingyue died in Xingxiu Cave.
Ye Lingyue is indeed dead. Hong Qingyun has no doubt about this, not only because the Lan Mansion has arranged Ye Lingyue's funeral, but also because on the day Ye Lingyue disappeared, Ye Lingyue disappeared.
His name disappeared from the Alchemy List of Qingzhou Continent.
The name disappeared from the Qingzhou Pill List without any sign. There are only two possibilities. One is that Ye Lingyue broke through to the reincarnation realm, and the other is that she died.
It was impossible for Ye Lingyue to break through the realm of reincarnation in such a short period of time, so the only possibility left was to die.
Hong Qingyun’s view is also the view of many people in Daxia and even Beiqing.
But they all ignored another possibility, that is, Ye Lingyue was not on Qingzhou Continent at this time.
Cave No. 1, which can be isolated even by Hongmengtian, or the Chaos Heaven and Earth Formation, originally existed beyond the Qingzhou Continent.
A few days ago, two granddaughters died, but Hong Qingyun did not feel the least bit sad.
Thinking of Ye Lingyue's disrespect for him, Hong Qingyun sneered, "Death is like a lamp going out. Ye Lingyue, no matter how talented you are, you will never be able to compete with our Hong Mansion."
"He is dead, so don't be too sad. Third child, how do you plan to deal with your father-in-law's affairs?" Hong Qingyun retracted his thoughts and questioned Hong Fanglai.
When Hong Mingyue brought Zhuge Yi back, Hong Qingyun was a little surprised. This outer elder of the Tianjia Sect had always thought highly of himself in front of the Hong Mansion, but this time, he proposed to stay in the Hong Mansion permanently.
After Hong Qingyun inquired about it, he learned that there were widespread rumors that Zhuge Yi had betrayed the Tianjia Sect, and now people from the Tianjia Sect were looking for Zhuge Yi's whereabouts.
Hong Fang had a stern look on his face. He had already heard what Hong Mingyue said about Zhuge Yi.
My father-in-law is usually very clear to me, but this time, why is he so confused?
He didn't even do something as simple as killing people and silencing them.
"Father, he is Rou'er's father after all. He is injured and it is not appropriate to hand him over at this time." Hong Fang was able to gain a foothold in the Hong Mansion and rise rapidly. The support behind Zhuge Yi and Zhuge Rou was inevitable.
Indispensable.
Now that Hong's reputation in Daxia is bad enough, he really can't bear the bad reputation of being ungrateful.
"Keep him? Do you have to wait for Tianjia Sect to come to your door? Isn't the matter in your mansion already chaotic enough?" Prince Hong took the opportunity to add insult to injury.
"Which of you dares to send my father away!" The door of the meeting hall was suddenly pushed open, and Zhuge Rou rushed in with his face red with anger.
