Chapter 141 I am Yue Ran’s elder brother. I understand her nature better than anyone else.
The matter of the snake demon appearing in Lihua Lane has been settled.
Chu Hantian took Feng Xiaolou back to the East Palace.
Chu Hanling naturally followed back to the palace.
Xiao Ce ordered other disciples of the Shenzun Sect to carefully investigate the underground hot spring water veins in Lu Qingrong's room.
One disciple who was good at swimming even ventured down to the underground hot spring and discovered that the source of the hot spring was very far away, and the underground river could be traced back to almost outside the capital.
Xiao Ce had no choice but to order the disciple to return to the ground, set up a formation to seal off Lu Qingrong's house, and not allow anyone to approach.
The crowd outside Lihua Lane gradually dispersed.
But people are still talking about the snake demon.
"I never thought that after Feng Xiaolou, the concubine's daughter, finally rose from a sparrow to a phoenix, such a big thing would happen in her family."
"Oh, I heard that everyone in her family was eaten by a snake demon. Is that true?"
"My brother-in-law's brother-in-law's cousin's godfather was watching in the front. It is said that the snake demon was thicker than a bucket and ten feet long. Its bloody mouth could swallow several people in one breath!"
"What about Feng Liangdi's mother?" a young man on the side of the road asked anxiously.
The people who were chatting together looked up at the young man and shook their heads:
"Who knows? It is said that when the prince brought Feng Liangdi here, Feng Liangdi cried her heart out. It is likely that she is dead."
Upon hearing this, the young man took a few steps back in shock, his face turning pale.
"Aunt Rong... and Aunt Mei too..."
His expression was filled with grief, and he staggered as he ran wildly towards Lihua Lane.
The neighbors who stayed behind looked at each other in bewilderment:
"Who is he?"
"I don't know him. He looks like his mother has died. Maybe he's a relative?"
However, a matchmaker passing by laughed:
"You don't know him? He is the eldest son who was kicked out by the Dingbei King after he falsely accused his biological father, the former eldest son of the palace, Yue Zihuan!"
"Tsk tsk, he looks so sad. I haven't seen him this sad even when his own mother died."
Yue Zihuan naturally couldn't hear these discussions. He ran anxiously all the way, bumping into countless people, leaving behind a stream of curses, and finally ran into Lihua Lane.
At this moment, the sky was completely dark and the night was deepening, but Lihua Lane was still brightly lit.
Several families living here hung many red lanterns at their front doors, some of which were even painted with patterns to ward off evil spirits.
When Yue Zihuan passed by the doors of these houses, he smelled a strong pungent odor.
"realgar?"
He looked carefully and saw that indeed a lot of realgar powder was sprinkled at the doors of every household.
It is said that the snake demon had been burnt long ago, but the people living here are still uneasy, and they all hope that realgar powder can keep snakes and insects away.
Yue Zihuan walked step by step to the gate of Feng's house.
No, there was no gate to Feng’s house now. All that was left before his eyes was a pile of ruins.
There was a long charred mark on the ground in front of the door, and the charred corpse of the snake demon had long been carried away and disposed of.
Yue Zihuan looked at the dark and silent Feng residence and could not help feeling sad, with tears blurring his eyes.
Aunt Rong and Aunt Mei were the ones who gave him warmth when he was in the most difficult times.
Unexpectedly, before he had a chance to repay them, they died.
Just as Yue Zihuan was about to walk inside, he heard an argument coming from Feng's house.
"Big Brother, since the demon fetus has been killed, we should take Junior Sister Si Ning away from Dingbei Palace as soon as possible and prepare to return to the Divine Sect."
"She's only been home for a few days, and she doesn't even want to call me Senior Sister!"
A woman's voice came out angrily.
"Why are you in such a hurry? Uncle Master hasn't arrived in the capital yet, and we still can't confirm whether the snake demon is a demon fetus. What's wrong with Little Junior Sister Si Ning staying with her family?"
The person who said this was a gentle and elegant young man.
As the voices were heard, two young people, a man and a woman, walked out of Feng's house.
The woman in the lavender dress had anger in her eyes:
"Big Brother, I've been wanting to say this for a long time. Could it be that you have fallen in love with that Yue Ranjun?"
"Don't forget, she can't enter the Divine Honored Sect at her age. If you are tempted, the only way out is to leave the Divine Honored Sect!"
After hearing this, the young man walking in front stopped and turned his head to look at the woman.
That look contained no joy or anger, but was clear yet sharp like a sword.
Although Yue Zihuan was far away, he was also shocked by that look.
The woman in the lavender dress turned pale, and her voice finally faded:
"I just said that, why are you so fierce..."
The conversation between the two did not continue because they both saw Yue Zihuan standing at the gate.
The young man looked Yue Zihuan up and down, his brows slightly furrowed:
"Who are you? You're standing here alone in the middle of the night. Aren't you scared?"
Yue Zihuan's back naturally bent down.
He no longer had the arrogance he had before with his back straight.
"May I ask if you two are the immortals of the Divine Lord Sect? Is there really no one alive in this house?"
The young woman was Yao Ye. She was impatient to deal with ordinary people, let alone a dusty peddler.
She glanced at Yue Zihuan coldly and said nothing.
Xiao Ce said softly:
"There is still a mistress missing, but she is probably in grave danger."
Upon hearing this, Yue Zihuan felt a little more hopeful.
Since Aunt Rong’s body has not been found, she might still be alive.
If he came to Lihua Lane every day to wait, perhaps he could see Xiaolou.
Yao Ye didn't want to stay any longer, she looked at Xiao Ce:
"Big Brother, I'm leaving first!"
Xiao Ce nodded at Yue Zihuan and also took out his flying sword.
Yue Zihuan looked at the man and woman, his heart moved, and suddenly he said loudly:
"Maybe I have a way to get Yue Si Ning to go with you!"
Yao Ye almost fell down. She turned her head in disbelief and looked at Yue Zihuan in surprise:
"Just you?"
She sneered:
"How dare anyone boast like that? Who do you think you are?"
Yue Zihuan raised his head, wiped the dirt off his face with his sleeve, and looked at Yao Ye with sharp eyes:
"Because I am Yue Si Ning's elder brother, Yue Zihuan!"
"I know what she likes and what she's afraid of!"
Yao Ye's eyes suddenly became interested.
Having lived in Dingbei Palace for many days, she had certainly heard a few things about Yue Zihuan.
After hearing this, Xiao Ce's eyes turned slightly cold.
What Yue Zihuan meant was that he knew how to scare Yue Si Ning so that she would follow him.
If he were a kind brother, he would never speak like this.
Yue Zihuan naturally also noticed Xiao Ce's expression.
He smiled calmly:
"My Lord, since my little sister has entered the Divine Venerable Sect, she should naturally abide by the rules of the Divine Venerable Sect."
"My elder sister has a rebellious personality. If my younger sister gets along with her for a long time, I'm afraid she will become difficult to get along with."
"I am Yue Ran's eldest brother. I understand her nature better than anyone else."
