Reborn Heiress: Seeking Revenge-Chapter 463 Old Bull Eats Tender Grass(3)_1

Zhuge Feng’s surprised gasp still alerted Bai Muxue to his presence.

The corners of Zhuge Feng’s mouth faintly curved upwards. His black robe formed a long and elegant arc in midair as he gracefully leapt down from the tree. The moonlight shone on his handsome face, adding a few more touches of radiance.

"Family Head Zhuge?"

"How could it be you?" Bai Muxue and Fang Jianfei asked in surprise. They truly didn’t expect Zhuge Feng to appear there.

"Uncle?" Zhuge Feng exclaimed in surprise when he saw the person, then turned his head away, refusing to look at Zhuge Feng.

"Fengfeng, your first trial has been satisfactory, and you may now leave. I’m here to take you out," Zhuge Feng nodded slightly towards the group, radiating the authority of a superior. He glanced at Zhuge Feng, who was resting on the ground, and spoke to him indifferently.

"Family Head, I’m not on a trial! I’m not part of the family—" Zhuge Feng began to say hurriedly.

"Alright, whatever you want to say can wait until we get out," Zhuge Feng cut him off. "A horde of beasts is charging this way. Rest up now so you’ll have the strength to face the enemy later." Waving his hands, Zhuge Feng sent a strong surge of Spiritual Energy flowing towards Zhuge Feng.

Zhuge Feng felt the fatigue in his body slowly disappearing. He closed his eyes and began to absorb the energy.

Zhuge Feng nodded in satisfaction and waved gently at the tree where Shangguan You and Ye Sanshao were hiding. A powerful force split the tree in two, and the figures of Shangguan You and Ye Sanshao rose into the air. "Esteemed guests, you’ve followed me all this way; it’s time for you to show yourselves." Zhuge Feng’s sharp call prompted Bai Muxue and the others to be even more on guard.

The moment Shangguan You and Ye Sanshao flew into midair, the Vultures in the sky, a dark mass, pressed down towards them, swooping in to peck.

"You’re seeking death!" Before Ye Sanshao could make a move, Shangguan You scattered a powder into the air. Wherever it passed, THUD! THUD! THUD! Countless Vultures dropped, stiff and motionless, to the ground.

"Hahaha! This old man hid so well, yet you still found me. Worthy of being the Family Head of the Zhuge Family, far better than those three useless Elders from Ming Shi!" Shangguan You laughed loudly, her voice deliberately hoarse. She and Ye Sanshao descended slowly from the sky.

Although she had poisoned a group of Vultures, the sky was still a dark, oppressive sheet of them. If they didn’t descend soon, they’d surely be pecked to death. She also didn’t want her black robe to be torn by the Vultures.

"Why have you followed me all this way and, moreover, slandered the three Elders of Ming Shi?" Zhuge Feng questioned coldly, looking at Shangguan You, who was completely wrapped in a black robe. If it weren’t for the frail-looking body concealed within the robe and the fluttering white beard, he would have truly suspected this ’old man’ was merely a skeleton. "Elder Ming has passed away. The dead should be respected. Do you not possess even basic decency?"

Shangguan You stood at 1.7 meters, not short, but compared to men who were 1.8 or 1.9 meters tall, she appeared rather small and thin. She also wore a long robe that billowed out when the wind blew, making the clothes seem empty and her look even slighter, as if a gust could knock her over.

"A bunch of traitors! Why shouldn’t I speak ill of them?" Shangguan You seethed, her voice still hoarse. "Even if they are from Hidden World Village, they still belong to this nation! Spying for another country—why shouldn’t I curse them?" At the thought of what Zhuge Yang had done for M City, Shangguan You’s teeth practically itched with hatred.

Zhuge Feng has been uninvolved in affairs for too long, she thought. It’s time to cleanse the family of its scum.

Hearing Shangguan You’s words, Zhuge Feng’s complexion turned ashen, his eyes fixed intently on her.

"You may not believe me," Shangguan You said, her voice altered by her voice-changing technique. Looking at Zhuge Feng’s current state, though she found it hard to bear, she knew that since the deeds were done, a price had to be paid. "But if you find Zhuge Ao and Shen Po, you will understand what ’good deeds’ your family members have committed."

"I will certainly investigate their affairs thoroughly. Thank you for your information," Zhuge Feng said, taking a few deep breaths. He spoke indifferently; now was not the time to resolve these matters. The tremors from within the earth grew stronger, the sounds closer. He could imagine the horde of beasts was nearly upon them.

"Hehehe, this old man simply couldn’t turn a blind eye. Family Head Zhuge, you need not be so polite," Shangguan You chuckled.

"Senior Meihua!" Fang Jianfei’s eyes lit up at the sight of Shangguan You. He was astonished to encounter her here. It seems our chances of success have just increased by several degrees, he thought.

"This old man promised to visit Hidden World Village, and I naturally keep my word," Shangguan You said, stroking her false grizzled beard with a proud expression. The matter of Elder Meihua was not much of a secret in Hidden World Village. An eccentric old ’man’ in possession of four Spiritual Pearls and peculiar alchemy skills would naturally attract considerable attention from various factions.

However, no one had expected ’him’ to be so bold as to even enter the forbidden back mountain.

"Senior, is this person beside you your apprentice?" Li Zhaolei chimed in. "Your apprentice shines as brightly as you, exuding such charm and grace! To have such an apprentice—congratulations, truly, congratulations!"

Upon hearing it was Elder Meihua and thinking of the Eternal Life Pill and the Resurrection Pill, Li Zhaolei couldn’t help but fawn over her, having long heard of Elder Meihua’s quirks. He glanced at the perpetually semi-transparent Ye Sanshao, and his fawning words made Shangguan You nearly die of internal laughter.

Zhuge Feng’s gaze upon Shangguan You also grew more intense. Does this mean Lin Mengjie can be saved? he wondered.

When Ye Sanshao heard the word "apprentice," a dangerous light flashed in his profound eyes. To dare call me that girl’s apprentice? They’re simply seeking death! I, Ye Sanshao, have lived for half a lifetime, and this is the first time anyone has dared to say such a thing! 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

SNAP!

Ye Sanshao’s figure, like a phantom, lashed out, delivering several powerful slaps to Li Zhaolei’s face. Li Zhaolei was sent flying. Ye Sanshao’s eyes radiated an aura of destruction, and his oppressive presence made others inwardly shudder.

He was truly angered. Apprentice? Damn that girl! He, Ye Sanshao, was already like an old bull after tender grass with her, and now to be called her apprentice? This was utterly unbearable! Watching Li Zhaolei violently coughing up blood, Ye Sanshao’s eyes narrowed even more dangerously.
