The Fourth Lady novel Chapter 93

Xuanyuan Yuzhen and Yukai never thought that Qingyan would say something so shocking, and would make such a solemn vow like this. If it was anyone else, who would dare say something so blasphemous.

"I really would have never thought that Miss Su was this straightforward of a person." Xuanyuan Yuzhen looked to Qingyan with a smile, "Since that's the case, how do you want to deal with Jingguo Marquis?"

Qingyan looked out at the gradually darkening sky and then glanced back at the three of them, "If father, mother, and elder brother can return alive, then I will tell you how to get rid of the Jingguo Marquis manor along with its roots."

Xuanyuan Yuzhen had once also thought of sending people to protect Su Yun, but lastly was rejected by Murong Jingxuan. Murong Jingxuan said that Qingyan will have her own way of protecting her parents.

What Jingxuan said made sense, if she couldn't even protect her own parents, how will she be able to discuss eliminating the Jingguo Marquis manor. Furthermore, he was also looking forward to seeing whether or not she will succeed in this matter.

Qingyan brought out a flute from her sleeve. While she toyed with the flute in hand, she turned to the three of then with a smile, "How about I show you what 'Thousand Beasts worshiping the Phoenix' looks like again."

[Thousand Beasts and Phoenix] was played in segments. The first segment controlled the birds, the second controlled the land animals, and the third controlled the spiritual beasts*. The creatures in the Forest of Buried Souls, were all a part of the spiritual beast category. They absorb the essence of the sun and moon, gather the spiritual energy of the heaven and earth, and can definitely understand the deeper meaning behind the flute tune.

(*TN: Animals/creatures that are more 'magical' akin to mythical creatures.)

"However, I think you might not be able to see such a scene. I only want to control the spiritual beasts, thus I'll only play the third segment." Qingyan said as she brought the flute up to her lips.

The sky was gradually darkening, Su Yun along with Luo Bing could only light a single torch. But this kind of night, amidst the forest during such times, they couldn't even see clearly, let alone differentiate where was wet land and where was dry land.

In the dark, a cry for help was heard, and that cry sounded as if it was Qingyan's voice. Just as Su Yun continued ahead, relying on the torch light, that voice sounded more and more clear.

In the end, even Su Yun didn't know where they've walked to. It was as if that voice was just by their ears, yet still far away.

Not far in the distance, they saw a light, and on that tree seems to be a young girl tied up. And it seemed as if that young girl to Luo Bing was Su Qingyan.

"Dear, look, it's Yan'er. Why is Yan'er here?" Just when Luo Bing wanted to rush forward, she was pulled back by a strong force.

"Madam, General, please don't continue forward. Ahead is the marshes." A solemn voice sounded behind them.

Su Yun and Luo Bing turned to the voice with their torch in hand. And standing before them were two girls they've never seen before. Su Yun furrowed his brow, "Who are you? What is your purpose for making us come here?"

The young girl brought out the memento Qingyan gave them, "We were sent by young miss to come protect General and Madam."

Luo Bing looked to the memento in the young girl's hand. This memento, Luo Bing naturally recognize, both Qingyan and Qingyu each had half. And only when pieced together, did it become a complete circle with the Dragon and Phoenix on it.

One Dragon, one Phoenix, this was Luo Bing and Su Yun's expectation for them.

"My name is Qingdai, this is Chishao." Qingdai looked to Su Yun's doubtful gaze and replied, "Miss hasn't been able to sleep at night lately, worrying that something might happen to Lord Su and Madam."

Su Yun and Luo Bing glanced to one another, as if they weren't sure whether or not they should trust what the two girls before them said. Qingdai also felt the distrust coming from the two.
