Chapter 799 |
By the time Shi Sheng reached home, the mystical creatures were driven back to Demon Flame Ridge by the combined efforts of the three empires.
Only a few mystical creatures left and caused chaos on the mainland.
The empires were investigating the reason behind the mystical beasts’ rampage.
Since the mystical beasts came from the Cang Lan Empire, the other two empires took advantage of this opportunity and requested compensation from Cang Lan Empire.
Cang Lan Empire was struck by those two empires when it was at its weakest.
The rumors that Shi Sheng was the culprit of this incident was spreading even more.
She was summoned by Patriarch Feng the moment she arrived home.
Patriarch Feng rarely showed his face in front of outsiders. Even he showed up, he only strolled around and would not talk much.
The outsiders saw Patriarch Feng as a solemn yet cunning person, so they gave him the nickname of the ‘cold-face fox’.
She grew up in the Feng Family for as long as she could remember. Everyone would address her as Third Miss. She even thought that she was Patriarch Feng’s legitimate daughter until she was told that she was adopted.
Patriarch Feng had been instilling that the original host was not his biological daughter, so she understood that over time.
“Father,” Shi Sheng greeted politely.
The person on the seat sat there cold-faced. The passage of time had left wrinkles on his face as a marking of his age.
It was said that those who cultivated had a longer life span, but nevertheless, they were not immortal.
“Did you get hurt?” Patriarch Feng glanced over Shi Sheng as if he was trying to see if she was injured or not.
...Shi Sheng shook her head.
Patriarch Feng’s face then darkened, “what’s going on?”
Patriarch Feng was naturally asking about the incident of her releasing the mystical creatures.
“Feng Qing Qing framed me!” she had to tattle at times like this.
Patriarch Feng looked even sterner, “Feng Qing Qing? Are you sure?”
“Yes, it’s him!” is that little b****!
“Why did he frame you? Does he have a grudge against you? Did he do anything to you?” Patriarch Feng shot three questions at once, although the first and third questions were essentially asking the same thing.
Feng Qing Qing had already framed her. How is that not anything?
“I’m father’s most doted on daughter.” Shi Sheng said out of nowhere, “now that the two empires are attacking Cang Lan Empire. Father, what do you think he’s trying to do?”
Patriarch Feng got it instantly after Shi Sheng hinted at him.
The rumors started so suddenly as if everyone knew about the news overnight.
Feng Qing Qing was the Chi Yan Empire’s emperor. Chi Yan Empire was the most powerful empire among the three empires. Ir was reasonable to say that he was trying to stir things up.
After all, to be a good protagonist, you need to have the desire to conquer the whole world before dying with the heroine.
When the male lead confirmed that he was in love with the heroine. Their ending would be retired in the mountains and did not care about whatever kingdom.
All the previous efforts, grudges, and blood feuds would be nothing after he met the female lead.
So no matter what the reason for He Lian Yu's made a sudden move at that time, Shi Sheng felt that he was trying to create trouble.
If you want to create trouble, let’s make trouble together!
It's too boring to do this alone.
If He Lian Yu wanted to create trouble, it was sure that someone would request Shi Sheng to surrender as the main culprit for the whole incident.
Patriarch Feng would not agree to this.
The consequence of not agreeing was that both empires would have an excuse to start a war.
There would be a conflict between Patriarch Feng and the Royal family, it would be easier for He Lian Yu to conquer Cang Lan Empire.
