Reborn Heiress: Seeking Revenge-Chapter 437 Zhuge Feng’s Secret 1(3)_1

In the pitch-black night, Ye Sanshao picked Shangguan You up in a princess carry and rapidly merged into the darkness. They moved through Hidden World Village, taking several turns, until they arrived at an old-fashioned quadrangle courtyard. His dark-clad figure flew straight in.

This was the Zhuge Family’s main residence. Not just the Zhuge Family, but the other major families also followed the traditional system of multiple generations living under one roof.

The Zhuge Family’s estate spanned several acres, much like a villa complex. From the main gate, individual villas were arranged in sections. The deeper one went inside, the more beautiful the scenery became. Shangguan You couldn’t help but marvel at the street lamps illuminated by Luminous Pearls. People with money were indeed different. Instead of using electric lights like elsewhere, the street lamps here were all Luminous Pearls. Weren’t they afraid of being robbed?

"The Luminous Pearls here are even better than electric lights. Moreover, such things are very expensive outside. Here, they’re just like ordinary lights, nothing to be surprised about. If you like them, I’ll send you a cartful later," Ye Sanshao said, stroking her hair with a smile.

"A cartful?" Shangguan You gasped. Did a cartful of Luminous Pearls mean she could become the wealthiest person too?

"These Luminous Pearls are manufactured in a Luminous Pearl Factory. If you like them, you can have as many as you want," Ye Sanshao said with a casual smile, noticing her mouth twitch again. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

"You mean, these Luminous Pearls are imitations, not real ones?"

"Clever girl. Truly my girl," Ye Sanshao said with a smile.

Shangguan You rolled her eyes. Oh, heavens! Oh, earth! Ye Sanshao, that scheming man! After all that talk, they turn out to be fakes, yet he had me excited for so long! "Where is Zhuge Feng being held?" Shangguan You decided not to stoop to Ye Sanshao’s level; otherwise, she felt she’d die of anger.

"My girl, I’ll take you there. And don’t be too nice to Zhuge Feng, or I’ll get jealous. The consequences of my jealousy are very severe." Ye Sanshao then gently placed a kiss on her lips and quickly headed deeper inside. Just as their figures vanished, several guards appeared right where they had stood. They exchanged glances, found nothing, and swiftly melted back into the darkness. Although the area appeared calm on the surface, countless hidden guards were stationed there.

Carrying Shangguan You, Ye Sanshao moved like a phantom through the darkness, skillfully evading the hidden guards as they ventured deeper.

Shangguan You looked at the rockery in the center. It, along with the ponds, was identical to the one on Gambling Street. Her lips curled up slightly. It seemed that place was connected to this one. The only difference was that she had destroyed the one on Gambling Street, while this one remained intact. The lights and the rapidly moving figures below made it clear what they were up to.

"My girl, you destroyed that place, and now Elder Shi and the others are buried underground. Right now, the Zhuge Family members are desperately digging. You’re such a mischievous girl. In the future, even if we argue, you can’t bury me alive, understand?"

Ye Sanshao dotingly tapped her nose, smiling. He was very pleased with Shangguan You’s actions. Seeing others suffer at his girl’s hands always put him in an excellent mood.

"I get it. Let go." Shangguan You struggled slightly, trying to break free from Ye Sanshao’s arms.

"My girl, someone’s coming. Don’t move," Ye Sanshao tightened his hold on her and whispered, then leaped swiftly into the darkness.

"You lied to me!" Shangguan You pinched Ye Sanshao’s waist hard, making him yelp in pain. Opportunities for her to let him hold her so compliantly were rare. Now that he had one, how could Ye Sanshao let it pass? Naturally, he would hold her for as long as possible.

"SHH," Ye Sanshao whispered softly. Shangguan You looked at the towering mountain nearby, then at the five-story villa at its foot, carefully remaining silent.

She hadn’t realized the Zhuge Family estate was built into the mountainside. Here, both the air and the Spiritual Energy were much richer than outside. The villas decreased in height from five stories to four, then three, and finally two. It seemed the Zhuge Family assigned residences based on talent and status within the family.

"Not only the Zhuge Family, but the other major families also follow this kind of hierarchy," Ye Sanshao whispered in her ear. "The uppermost villas are inhabited by the Family Head and the Elders. Residences are then assigned further down based on position. Those living in the outermost areas are considered the least important. See that small path? It leads to the back mountain. Not only is the Spiritual Energy there richer, allowing the family’s elite to cultivate, but every family also has its own forbidden ground, which is used for the most brutal training."

"After Zhuge Feng returned, he has been undergoing the family’s training in the forbidden ground. If his character is resolute, I believe he is still the Zhuge Feng you know. If he couldn’t bear it, he will become the Young Master of the Zhuge Family. After the current Zhuge Feng steps down, it will be the Zhuge Feng you know who takes power. You’ll understand when you see him," Ye Sanshao gently clarified, his dark-clad figure already speeding towards the back mountain.

"Yes, I understand." Shangguan You’s heart inexplicably tightened. Thinking of Zhuge Feng, her mind filled with the image of his clear, bright eyes. Will he have changed? Could he become as ruthless as she feared? It felt as if a heavy stone was pressing on her chest, making it hard to breathe.

"Have they been rescued yet?" a low voice suddenly sounded in the night. The two figures instantly melted back into the deeper shadows, observing the group emerging from the villa.

"Elder Shi and the others should be rescued by tomorrow."

"Have you found out what happened?"

"The Spirit Gathering Stones beneath were stolen. We won’t know who dared to target our Zhuge Family until our people down there are out. Since they dared to act, they will pay the price."

"Alright, Elder De, rescuing Elder Shi and the others is your responsibility. Ensure they are brought out safely," Zhuge Feng gravely instructed.

After watching them depart, Zhuge Feng re-entered the villa.

"Let’s follow him and see," Shangguan You said, wriggling out of Ye Sanshao’s arms. With a flash, she was already tailing Zhuge Feng. She was desperate to know: what was Zhuge Feng’s true identity? What secrets was he hiding?
