The three elders of the Baili clan were starting to sympathize with the clan head.
One was the clan head's beloved, while the other was someone who was obsessed with the clan head. If the two were to meet, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Baili Jin: "… Yes, young master."
"For now, do not let outsiders know about Ran Rou's existence."
Fung Ya-hsien instructed. "Once outsiders know about Ran Rou's existence, Ran Rou will be used by others and hinder our plans."
"Yes, young master."
After the three elders of the Baili family and Baili Jin reported some things, they left the room.
"Wife, the three elders and the steward are very anxious."
Long Yu said without raising his head. "This concerns the future and glory of the Baili clan, we cannot be careless."
"These are not big problems. The most important thing now is to find out where she is."
Fung Ya-hsien frowned slightly, somewhat annoyed. "If we can't find her, we can't really make a move. She is the trump card of the enemy."
Long Yu stopped what he was doing. "This is very troublesome. We don't have any leads, and we can't tell anyone because we don't have any evidence." "It's too difficult to find a dead person after so many years.
She knew that this was her trump card, and she would not tell anyone easily.
If there was no other way, they could only use the seven lives soul summoning pill to control her.
Wife, what happened to her appearance? "
"If I am not wrong, she must have used some kind of medicine to change her appearance. As for what kind of medicine it is, I can't remember."
She could use the Disguise Gu to change a person's appearance. "The prerequisite for using the seven lives soul summoning pill is that we need to have evidence."
"Evidence."
"Without evidence, doing this will only bring us unnecessary trouble."
"There will be evidence soon," Long Yu said ambiguously. "We will know who the matriarch of the Baili clan is soon."
Fung Ya-hsien smiled and nodded. "Exactly."
Gongsun clan, Gongsun Qing's courtyard.
She received Fung Ya-hsien's invitation and was very puzzled. Young master Feng invited her to the Baili clan as a guest?
How strange.
She didn't have any interaction with this Young Master Feng. They had only exchanged a few words at the Baili family's banquet.
Now, why did Young Master Feng invite her to the Baili family as a guest?
In the Baili family's garden, there were a few tables and chairs. On the tables and chairs were some snacks and fruits.
All kinds of flowers in the garden bloomed enchantingly. A gentle breeze blew, and the air was filled with the faint fragrance of flowers. It was very pleasant.
Fung Ya-hsien and Fung Ya-hsien were chatting as they walked side by side. Long Yu was walking beside Fung Ya-hsien. Behind the three of them were several servants.
"I don't know why, but I feel very close to Miss Gongsun the moment I see her."
Fung Ya-hsien smiled. "I've heard the butler mention Miss Gongsun before. I like Miss Gongsun's personality the most. She's not shy."
"It is my honor to receive Young Master Feng's favor."
Gongsun Qing smiled politely. "Young Master Feng, you've accomplished so much at such a young age. I'm truly ashamed."
Long Yu didn't say anything.
"I invited Miss Gongsun here today mainly because I wanted to see what kind of person you are."
Fung Ya-hsien gestured for Gongsun Qing to sit down. She and Long Yu walked to the left and sat down. "Miss Gongsun, you know that my master is still unmarried."
When Barisu brought Ran Rou to the garden, he happened to hear Fung Ya-hsien's last sentence. He shook his head helplessly. "Disciple, don't talk nonsense."
Gongsun Qing's heart skipped a beat. She couldn't help but look in the direction of the voice. She saw Barisu supporting Ran Rou as they walked over. She quickly looked away, suppressing the pain in her heart.
Suddenly, she looked up at Ran Rou, her eyes filled with disbelief.
How …
Wasn't Ran Rou already dead?
Fung Ya-hsien noticed Gongsun Qing's expression. She smiled faintly and looked up at Barisu and Ran Rou. "Master, I'm not wrong."
"Previously, Miss Ran had rejected Master's proposal, so Master had given up on her.
As my master's disciple, I can't bear to see my master Dugu for the rest of my life. I want to find myself a wife that I like. "
Fung Ya-hsien noticed that Ran Rou paused in her steps after she finished speaking. It was such a subtle movement that even Barisu didn't notice.
Barisu helped Ran Rou to an empty chair and comforted her. "Don't listen to my disciple's nonsense. She loves to fool around."
"Young Master Feng isn't wrong. It's time for you to find a wife."
Ran Rou said softly, her tone somewhat indifferent. "I can't live in the Baili family for the rest of my life."
"I've already thought about it. Once I recover from my injuries, I'll wander around and find a suitable place to live.
The White Cloud Continent is so big, there's bound to be a place for me. "
Fung Ya-hsien spoke before Barisu could. "Miss Ran is so right!"
"I finally understand why my master has such deep feelings for Miss Ran. There aren't many men who wouldn't like such a unique woman.
Long Yu, don't you think so? "
Gongsun Qing finally regained her senses. She kept feeling that something was off. Why was Ran Rou still alive?
Young Master Feng must have invited her here today for another reason. It must be related to Ran Rou.
"Wife, don't ask me. I only like you."
Long Yu directly poured out a bunch of dog food. "Miss Ran's words, I feel like she's full of remorse, like a helpless abandoned child."
"If it were my wife, she would choose to carve out a place of her own instead of looking for a place to live."
Gongsun Qing understood. Young Master Feng and Young Master Long were singing the same tune, targeting Ran Rou.
But … why were Young Master Feng and Young Master Long targeting Ran Rou?
She tilted her head to look at Barisu, wanting to know what choice he would make.
Barisu acted as if he didn't hear Fung Ya-hsien and Long Yu's words and poured himself a cup of wine.
Ran Rou's smile froze, then returned to normal in the blink of an eye. "Young Master Feng and Young Master Long are right. My vision is too narrow.
It's just that after experiencing life and death, I've come to terms with it. It's good enough that I have a place to live. "
"I heard my master mention that Miss Ran is a person who values family and loves her fiancé very much." Fung Ya-hsien glanced at Barisu. "Miss Ran has never hated her sister Ran Meng 'er?
And she doesn't hate my master even a little bit? "
She deliberately emphasized the three words Ran Meng 'er.
Barisu was a bit puzzled. Why did his disciple suddenly mention Ran Meng 'er?
His disciple never did anything useless. Of course, she wouldn't mention Ran Meng 'er for no reason.
Could it be that his disciple found something?
Gongsun Qing didn't say anything. She now somewhat understood why Young Master Feng invited her here. It was most likely to target Ran Rou.
What she didn't understand was that Ran Rou was Barisu's favorite. Young Master Feng had no reason to object. Why would he target Ran Rou?
