Although due to the current state of her body, Scarlett Jennings cannot sense her original demonic power, it doesn’t matter; she has Susan.
After Lily Phoenix clarified her identity in front of everyone, it was time for her to witness the Phoenix Power within Edith Phoenix and what it truly entailed.
Hudson Phoenix was also tense at this moment, but his mind was racing.
If Edith could summon a response from the Phoenix in public, then the result of today’s farce would render everything else insignificant.
As long as she proved herself to be the Heaven’s Chosen Daughter with Phoenix destiny, as long as she hailed from the Phoenix Family, his scheming wouldn’t be a failure.
As for Lily Phoenix, Hudson Phoenix never had any expectations for her.
Her failure would be inevitable.
When she loses all her face, he could take advantage of the situation and abandon this daughter altogether.
If she was unwilling to obediently be the daughter of the Phoenix Family, then let her cease to be.
Over there, Lady Phoenix, upon hearing Lily Phoenix’s bold proclamation, directly had the preparation for the blessing ceremony arranged.
While preparations were underway here, at the other end of the backyard, Keith Phoenix was lying pale-faced in a sedan chair, carefully carried by servants as they moved through the paths.
That day, the moment Autumn dropped the scissors, she instantly departed from his body.
When Keith Phoenix’s consciousness returned, the bloodied scissors were still clutched in his hand.
These past few days, whenever he was awoken by pain, he could clearly realize that it was he who had crippled himself with his own hands!
This realization was far more devastating than being backstabbed by someone else.
It was an overwhelming sense of helplessness, watching but unable to act.
He knew he had to do something about it.
Otherwise, he would go insane.
He originally wanted to find a Taoist to capture Autumn, but his father wouldn’t allow it because Edith’s coming-of-age ceremony was approaching, and he didn’t want these matters to be spread around the mansion.
Keith Phoenix had no means to avenge himself, resenting his father and Edith.
But whom he hated more, was Lily.
The sedan swayed gently forward, and each sway made him distinctly feel the pain underneath him until finally, the sedan came to a stop.
The servant cautiously said, "Young Master, we’ve arrived."
Keith Phoenix glanced up at the small courtyard in front, a chilling coldness emanating from his gloomy eyes.
Here was the courtyard where Lily Phoenix lived.
Because of the coming-of-age ceremony today, only two maidservants were left watching the courtyard, puzzled by the arrival of the young master and his attendants.
Keith Phoenix did not even glance at the maidservants but stared at the main house in the courtyard, his eyes bloodshot, signaling the servants behind him, his voice hoarse and menacing,
"Do it."
The servant hesitated, wanting to persuade further, but faced with his master’s gaze, dared not say more, and directly gestured with a wave of his hand.
Soon, a swarm of servants flooded in, carrying firewood and oil barrels.
They first scattered the firewood throughout the inside and outside of Lily’s courtyard and then poured oil over it.
After taking a last look at Keith Phoenix outside the yard, under his brutish and terrifying glare, they took out fire starters and set the fire.
The blaze erupted almost immediately.
Keith Phoenix did not want Lily’s life, but he wanted her reputation completely ruined!
On the day of her coming-of-age ceremony, the house she resided in caught fire; to outsiders, she became an omen of disaster!
Since she helped that Ghost Spirit possess Autumn to harm him, he wanted her to become a pariah, cursed by everyone from this day forth!
Just as Keith Phoenix made his move, in the front yard, Edith Phoenix was already performing the blessing ceremony under the watchful eyes of all the guests.
This was the Phoenix Family’s annual blessing ceremony.
Unlike other households, the Phoenix Family had a dedicated Phoenix shrine.
It was during Edith’s blessing and worship that the Phoenix’s Call once emerged from the sky, marking her as the first Heavenly Maiden in a century to receive the Phoenix’s acknowledgment.
Today, she would continue to bask in admiration from the masses.
Kneeling, bowing, wishing, as the ceremony reached its peak, Edith Phoenix silently summoned the True Phoenix Lord in her heart.
[True Phoenix Lord, let these humble ants witness your divine miracle once more.]
