Enchantress Amongst Alchemists: Ghost King's Wife
chapter-204

How could someone living secluded within their family know what was going on in the outside world? Moreover, to fully understand someone’s personality wouldn’t be an easy feat. Those performances seemed as though she personally knew them.

“Yue Er, are you sure you don’t know Nangong Zi Feng?” Madam Sheng Yue was really curious. Nangong Zi Feng was shrouded in layers of mystery, to the point where even the Nangong family couldn’t really understand her entirely.

If that person was now Yue Er’s opponent, her current situation was really dangerous…

“I don’t know her. I’ve never even heard that name.”

Mu Ru Yue shook her head.

Suddenly, the immortal-like handsome Bai Ze entered her mind. She similarly also didn’t know Bai Ze, but he seemed to know her.

Could there be a link between Nangong Zi Yue and Bai Ze?

“Yue Er, something has happened to the Nangong family over these last few years.” Madam Sheng Yue sighed. “Your elder brother, Xiao Feng, worries about the safety of Sheng Domain, so he led some people to that side to investigate what was happening. If something really did happen, we must immediately do something about them.

“Actually, I would rather just go and simply annihilate the Nangong family to settle all past and present debts. But your rather calm and collected elder brother believes that the Nangong family is perhaps different from the past, especially after the major changes with Nangong Zi Feng. Hence, we decided to try to understand our opponents more before choosing a path forward…”

When Mu Ru Yue heard Madam Sheng Yue’s words, a trace of light flashed past her eyes.

After this incident, she was really interested in discovering the reason why Nangong Zi Feng wanted to hurt her, so she herself must make a trip to the Nangong family.

But the time wasn’t ripe yet. She must improve her strength before going to the Nangong family…

The sacred spirit spring was the symbol of Sheng Domain. It should only be opened once every three years. Usually if they wanted to open it, two Xiantian experts were required with the assistance of Madam Sheng Yue’s power in order to activate it.

Elder Xiao, however, was an expert equal in strength to at least two Xiantian experts.

Following the opening of the sacred spirit spring, they would be separated for half a year. Madam Sheng Yue gripped onto Mu Ru Yue’s hand tightly, reluctance clearly written on her exquisite face.

She mustn’t hold back her daughter, so she had decided to let her go…

Once the sacred spirit spring closed, everyone left to wait for the next opening in half a year’s time.

Who knew that another commotion would occur within this half-year…

“What did you say?” Xiao Tian Yu stood up abruptly. His face turned ashen as he looked furiously at the middle-aged man that had come forth to report. He clenched his fist tightly and grit his teeth so hard that a grinding noise could be heard.“You said that Feng Er has gone missing, his status unknown, even whether he is alive or not? What happened? Why has Feng Er disappeared?”

The middle-aged man swallowed hard and didn’t dare to look Xiao Tian Yu in the eye at the moment.

“Young head, it is the truth. The people that had followed the eldest young master are still searching for him, but they haven’t been able to find him anywhere, even after searching the entire Nan City.”

“Nangong family!”

Killing intent hardened Xiao Tian Yu’s face.

He didn’t need to think as he was certain that this had been perpetrated by the Nangong family. If he had known this would happen, he wouldn’t have agreed to Feng Er’s request, sending him like a sheep into the tiger’s den.

“If the Nangong family touches a single hair on my son’s head, I definitely won’t let them off! Somebody, report this to the Young Madam and Family Head. Just tell them… something happened to Feng Er.”

Regret…

That’s right, Xiao Tian Yu truly regretted his decision to agree to his son’s request. It had resulted in his son going missing.

Just as Xiao Tian Yu stepped out of the room, a ripple of energy emanated from the sacred spirit spring…
