Reborn Heiress: Seeking Revenge-Chapter 457: It’s Great to Have You Here (2)_1

After wiping Lin Mengjie’s face with Spring Water and comparing the two girls once again, Shangguan You couldn’t help but shake her head. Their hair was also identical. After instructing the Medicine King Cauldron to take good care of them, she left.

"Girl, hurry, there’s a good show outside." The moment her figure appeared, Ye Sanshao’s pleasant voice rang out. His long hand grasped hers, quickly heading toward the exit of the underground chamber.

"What happened? Wait a minute." Shangguan You let Ye Sanshao pull her along, her expression becoming somewhat solemn. She wondered how Zhuge Feng would react to Lin Mengjie’s disappearance. Thinking of Zhuge Feng, then considering how he had cared for Lin Mengjie and herself for the past seventeen years, she couldn’t help but pause. Lin Mengjie’s disappearance would worry and unsettle Zhuge Feng the most, and she couldn’t be so selfish. To take Lin Mengjie away but leave Zhuge Feng frightened didn’t sit right with her. How deep must his love be to have done so much over these seventeen years?

He had been keeping the Lin Family in the dark and finding a replacement. He also had to care for her and search for medicine to awaken Lin Mengjie, all while being the Young Master of a Hidden World Family. For seventeen years, Zhuge Feng had juggled all these responsibilities. Now that she was taking Lin Mengjie away, she naturally couldn’t leave without saying anything.

"Hmm, I didn’t think it through. With Lin Mengjie’s disappearance, I should give Zhuge Feng an explanation. Otherwise, who knows what he might do?" Ye Sanshao also stopped.

"Hmm, no matter what, I don’t want him to be sad," Shangguan You nodded. She then took out a small knife and carved a line of words onto the ice bed, impersonating Elder Meihua and even leaving behind a plum blossom mark. If Zhuge Feng had even a slight understanding of Elder Meihua’s identity, he shouldn’t worry about Lin Mengjie being in her care.

After all, she could refine elixirs—all of the finest quality. It was natural for someone like her, who tended to claim anything novel, to be interested in Lin Mengjie’s illness.

After doing all this, Shangguan You finally left.

"Girl, let’s go. If Zhuge Feng finds out, I believe he will be relieved."

"Hmm, what happened?"

"You’ll know when you get there." As Ye Sanshao spoke, he put an arm around her, and their figures rapidly swept away. Ye Sanshao led Shangguan You directly out of Zhuge Feng’s villa, carefully concealing themselves in the darkness.

From afar, they watched Zhuge Feng and several Elders, including Elder Ming De, standing before the rockery. Elder Shi and the others who had been trapped in the rockery’s underground chamber were all rescued, albeit in a sorry state.

"Family Head, all the Elders are safe. Aside from the destruction of the entire chamber and the theft of the Spirit Gathering Stone, there are no other losses."

"Hmm, it’s good that everyone is safe," Zhuge Feng nodded.

"Family Head, the theft of the Spirit Gathering Stone must be related to that old fiend Meihua!" declared Elder Shi. He was in disarray, covered in dirt, his clothes tattered, but he ignored his state and spoke anxiously to Zhuge Feng. He knew in his heart that ’Elder Meihua’ was just that damn girl Shangguan You in disguise, yet he couldn’t bring himself to say it. No one understood this torment, this unbearable anguish, better than he.

"Elder Shi, did you see it with your own eyes? I’m quite interested in this Elder Meihua," Zhuge Feng remarked indifferently. If what they said is true, could there be hope for Jiejie?

"Although Elder Meihua didn’t show himself, he possesses the Earth Spirit Bead, allowing him to hide within the earth. The Spirit Gathering Stone vanished abruptly, and then the entire cave exploded! The force was reminiscent of the bomb that killed Elder Ming. So it must be that old fiend who stole our Spirit Gathering Stone and tried to bury us all alive!" Elder Shi grew angrier as he spoke. "For days underground, everyone desperately dug, first with Spiritual Energy, then with their bare hands. If not for our efforts and the Family Head sending people to dig, we wouldn’t have escaped so quickly."

Whenever Elder Shi thought of that girl, Shangguan You, the rage in his heart burned hotter, yet he still couldn’t speak out.

"What about the Fang Family and the Li Family? Any movement?" Zhuge Feng’s brows furrowed slightly as he spoke calmly.

"Nothing, both families are quiet, with no signs of disruption. I believe Elder Meihua has reached Hidden World Village, and they are not yet aware."

"The Spirit Gathering Stone was stolen, and the entire Hidden World Village is searching, yet he managed to escape silently and without a trace—quite skillful. Moreover, he possesses those priceless elixirs. If the Immortality Pill and Resurrection Pill truly exist, then this is someone we cannot afford to offend. We must try to ally with him; he could be a great asset to us in the future. Elder Shi, you and the others should go rest for now. We’ll discuss matters further tomorrow," Zhuge Feng instructed coolly. His curiosity about Elder Meihua’s identity was genuinely piqued.

Especially those two elixirs. If they were real, he believed Lin Mengjie would surely wake up. An excitement stirred within him at the thought. Now, all that was missing was a future Family Head. As long as Zhuge Feng agreed, his own task would be considered complete.

"Thank you, Family Head."

"Go on, everyone be careful," Zhuge Feng commanded as he strode away toward the back mountain. He now needed to find Zhuge Feng and have a serious talk.

With Zhuge Feng’s departure, everyone gradually dispersed, and the entire Zhuge Family compound once again fell into peaceful darkness.

Only after everyone had gone did Ye Sanshao and Shangguan You reappear in the darkness. Watching the departing figure, Ye Sanshao’s mouth curled into a meaningful smile. Zhuge Feng really did have some skill.

"Did Zhuge Feng notice us?" Shangguan You asked, watching Zhuge Feng’s distant silhouette, her expression somewhat complicated. She truly hadn’t expected Zhuge Feng to be so capable as to sense their presence.

"No, he just suspects; there’s no confirmation. But if he goes to the underground chamber and sees Lin Mengdou gone, he will definitely have his proof," responded Ye Sanshao, his deep eyes exceptionally bright in the dark night. His lips lightly curved, the black clothes he wore gently fluttering with the wind, giving off an indescribable air of casual elegance.
