In an instant, Feng Yuxue was as if struck by lightning and stood stupidly in place!

  Feng Youyue looked at her precarious appearance and smiled with satisfaction. Little thing, I let you pretend! The newly formed Xiao Bailian also dared to fight with this old demon, not doing so would be a death wish!

  She nodded comfortingly and looked at Feng Ling and Feng Qing, who both had gloomy faces.

  "Second Elder is a second-grade alchemist, his words are certainly not to be doubted. Since Miss Yu Xue insists that she did not poison anyone, then please prove it to us!"

  Feng Ling and Feng Jings gazes shot towards her like knives, the murderous intent in their eyes almost tearing her to pieces.

  Feng Youyue revealed a small white tooth and smiled at them, making the two of them see stars.

  "Haha! Alright! Someone come and get the medicinal herbs that Second Elder mentioned!" Feng Qing laughed loudly, stroking his beard, feeling extremely pleased.

  Soon, someone brought back the medicine. It was a green leaf as big as a bowl, a very common medicine, and there were many in the Feng familys pharmacy.

  The two elders squeezed out the juice from the leaves and dripped it into a bowl, handing it to Feng Yuxue.

  "Drink it, Snow. If you havent poisoned it, there wont be any adverse reactions."

  Feng Youxue looked at the white jade bowl in front of her, which contained a small amount of liquid, green and emitting a foul odor that made people nauseous. Her face was extremely unsightly, if she were to drink this down, wouldnt everything be exposed?!

  No! She cant drink!

  Phoenix Yuexues face suddenly turned pale and she leaned back against her maid.

  "Young Snow, whats wrong?!" Feng Ling saw the situation and immediately rushed forward to support her, while pushing away that white jade bowl.

  "Grandpa, Im feeling unwell. My whole body hurts." Feng Yuxue swayed precariously, as if she would faint at any moment.

  Feng Lings face changed greatly, "You must be hurt too badly! Hurry, go back to your room and rest well!" As he spoke, he supported Feng Yuxue and was about to walk out.

  Feng Youyues eyes narrowed as she flashed forward, blocking the path of the two.

  "Second Master, havent you forgotten something?"

  Feng Ling looked at the girl in front of him, his face darkening, and he couldnt help but want to strangle her to death.

  "Get out! Youve severely injured Yuexue, she needs rest now! Feng Yuezhi, dont be too arrogant!"

  "Its you who are deceiving people too much!" Feng Youyue sneered, shaking her sleeves. "Feng Youxue, even if you die today, you must drink that medicine for me!"

  Before her words had faded away, she transformed into a streak of light and sped off towards Feng Yu Xue.

  The white jade bowl in the hands of the two elders was snatched away by Feng Youyue in the blink of an eye, and the speed was so fast that it shocked him.

  "Feng Youyue, you dare!" Feng Ling was enraged, pulling Feng Youxue behind him with one hand and clenching the other into a fist. A powerful surge of energy shot towards Feng Youyue.

  Where can Feng Cong let his own granddaughter suffer? He snorted, stood up and patted the case. His broad figure turned into a blue light, and he appeared in front of Feng Ling, blocking all his attacks.

  The furniture in the hall was reduced to powder in an instant as the two clashed. Dust filled the air, and splintered wood was swept away by the fierce gusts of wind, raging wildly.

  Feng You Yues footsteps didnt stop, and she rushed straight towards Feng You Xue. Feng Ling was entwined by Feng Cang, while the others were unable to move under the pressure of Feng Cang Da Xian Shi.

  Feng Youxues eyes widened in terror as she quickly retreated backward. However, Feng Youyues movements were incredibly fast, her figure transformed into a ghostly apparition, and in the blink of an eye, she appeared right in front of her.

  She stretched out her arm like lightning, grasped Feng Yuxues chin with one hand, and with a swift motion of her right hand, poured the medicinal liquid from the white jade bowl into Feng Yuxues mouth in a force-feeding manner!

  Then her palm slapped heavily on her chest, Feng Yuxue was choked to a red face, and the medicine liquid was swallowed all at once!

  "Bastard!" Feng Ling saw Feng You Yue getting away with it and burst into a loud scolding. At the same time, her mind was thrown into chaos, and she was slapped down by Feng Cangs palm, firmly captured.

  His eyes were wide open, staring at Feng Youyue like a fire-breathing dragon, as if he wanted to tear her into eight pieces.

  "Why is the elder looking at me like that? Didnt you just keep saying you wanted to prove Feng Yuexues innocence? Now Im giving her this opportunity, whats wrong? Are you feeling guilty?" Feng Yuemonth had a sarcastic smile on his face, infuriating Feng Ling to the point of bursting into flames, but he couldnt do anything about it.

  "Sit down!" Feng Qing pressed Feng Ling onto the chair, her eyes scanning the crowd, her gaze piercing. "Feng Yuxue has taken the medicine, everyone please wait patiently, and there will be a conclusion soon."

  Feng Youxue was pinned down by Feng Youyue, sitting on a chair. Time passed slowly, the grand hall was in shambles, and it was eerily quiet. Everyones eyes were fixed on her, making her feel like she was sitting on pins and needles.

  About a minute later, Feng Yuxue felt a wave of heat rising from her body, and the palm of her right hand itched. She bit her lip and didnt move, tightly clenching her fist.

  Feng Youyue glanced at her and smiled faintly. Endure it then, lets see how long you can endure.

  As expected, Feng Yuxue soon couldnt bear it anymore. Her body involuntarily twisted back and forth. Especially her right arm, which kept rubbing back and forth on the armrest of the chair.

  The two elders looked at her, their eyes suddenly narrowing, and swiftly moved to her side, grabbing her right hand.

  A pale arm protruded from the sleeve, and on Feng Youxues hand, it was densely covered with red rashes!

  The two elders pried open her fists with force, and on those pale palms, red rashes appeared in patches, shining with a watery luster under the light!

  This is exactly the symptom that will appear when taking Migu Shen San and Xiang Ke Yao Cai at the same time!

  "Feng Youxue, you explain!" The Second Elder said sternly.

  Feng Youxue bit her lip and remained silent.

  The other elders looked over and changed their expressions when they saw the red rash on her palm.

  "Feng Youxue! Now that the evidence is conclusive, what else can you say?" an elder thundered.

  "What a waste of our trust in you! You actually did something that harms your own kind! Despicable! Absolutely despicable!" Another elders finger trembled with rage.

  Others remained silent, casting sidelong glances at the unsmiling elder, thinking various thoughts in their minds.

  Feng Youyue took all of this in at a glance, her eyes slightly cast down, and a cold smile in her heart. It seemed that the Great Elder had bought off quite a few people over the years.

  She took a step forward with a sudden change of mind.

  "Elders, the situation is clear. Feng Youxue has poisoned me. According to the Feng family rules, she should be punished with the five penalties! I wonder if the esteemed elders present have any opinions on this matter?"

  "No opinion! Execute the punishment!" Feng Qing was the first to speak, her cold eyes scanning over Feng Yu Xue, the sharpness in her gaze making her body tremble.

  "The Five Punishments shall be carried out." The two elders followed closely behind, their faces stern and unyielding.

  "Feng Youxue has committed a heinous crime of killing her own kin, she should be punished with the five penalties." The Fourth Elder in charge of the Punishment Hall spoke up.

  Feng Youxues face turned deathly pale, and she collapsed onto the chair, her cold sweat soaking through her clothes. If she were to be tortured with the five punishments, she would undoubtedly die!

  "Grandpa! Grandpa, save me!" She slid down from the chair and fell to Feng Lings feet, tightly grasping his clothes. "Grandpa, I was momentarily confused! Save me! Please, please save me!"

  Feng Lings face was cold and still, his fists clenched with a cracking sound. He also wanted to save her! Feng Yuxue had an extremely high innate talent, if she died, it would be a huge blow to this lineage!

  But now, Feng Youyue has the upper hand, and he cant save her!

  Lifted her head, Feng Ling looked at Feng Qing and gave him a signal with her eyes.

  Phoenix Qis expression turned solemn as he stood up, "Phoenix Yuexue has committed a grave sin by harming our own kin. Logically speaking, she should be punished with the five penalties. However, the Phoenix family is currently lacking in talent, and among the younger generation, those with decent innate abilities are scarce. So far, only Yuexue and Feng Wuya have entered the seventh rank of Xuan Shi. In another month, it will be the once-in-five-years martial competition, and the winner will receive great honors, which Im sure you all know. I think that for the sake of the Phoenix familys future, Yuexue cannot die."

  The mention of the Five-Year Grand Competition has caused everyones hearts to waver once again. The Wanlan Empires Grand Competition is a crucial event that determines which family will dominate for the next five years. This years upcoming Grand Competition is especially important! Its said that the legendary person will come to select some young people with good qualifications...

  Feng Youxue broke through the 7th rank of Xuan Shi at the age of 16, which is unprecedented in Wan Lan country. The chance that she will be chosen by that person is very high, and if she dies now, it would be a huge loss for the Feng family.

  The hearts of all the elders shook, and they looked up at Feng Qing one after another, their faces filled with hesitation.

  Feng Cangya gritted his teeth, panting heavily. He naturally didnt want to let go of this woman who was trying to poison his own granddaughter, but the Feng family was currently in a precarious situation. If he were to execute Feng Yuxue, everyone would definitely turn their attention to Youyue. At that time, Youyues position in the Feng manor would be even more precarious!

  The seven elders deliberated for a long time, hesitated and opened their mouths, "Uh... master of the house, what the fifth elder said also makes sense. This matter..."

  "Grandfather, although Feng Youxue has harmed her own kind, she is still young and vigorous. Please spare her for the sake of your granddaughter!" Feng Youyue suddenly turned around, interrupting Qi Changlao and saying something that shocked everyone.

  Everyone looked at Feng Youyue in surprise, none of them had expected her to plead for Feng Youxue.

  Feng Cong was filled with doubts, "Girl, you..."

  "Grandfather!" Feng Yuxue smiled and looked at him, "The fifth Great Comparison is imminent, the Phoenix family should unite to resist external enemies. Although Feng Yuxue has committed a crime, the Phoenix family is in need of people now, and Yuexue should prioritize the overall situation. Therefore, I beg Grandfather to be lenient!"

  "Good! Well said!" The four elders slammed their hands on the table and cheered, admiring Feng Youyue, "What a sensible girl! What a girl who prioritizes the greater good!"

  "Haha, indeed! I didnt expect Yuiyue to be so transparent at such a young age. Shes truly worthy of being the granddaughter of the family head, making people look at her in a new light!" The Ninth Elder said with a smile.

  The two elders stiff faces didnt have a smile, but their eyes also held thick appreciation. The other elders were also shocked in their hearts, and the way they looked at Feng You Yue had changed.

  Feng Cang furrowed his brow, with a hint of pain in his eyes. His granddaughter was sensible, which naturally delighted him. However, seeing his granddaughter being so self-effacing pained him deeply.

  Just then, Feng Youyue suddenly raised her head and secretly winked at him.

  Feng Cang was taken aback and followed his granddaughters gaze to Feng Ling and Feng Yuxue, who were both pale-faced, and suddenly realized.

  "Haha! Alright! Young Master Yu Yue understands reason, since youve pleaded for mercy, Ill give you this face! Feng Yu Xue killed her own kin, she should be punished with the five penalties. But considering her youth and vigor, Ill spare her life. 80 lashes! Reflect on your actions for a month! Before the Grand Competition, cultivate yourself and dont act recklessly!"

  Eighty rods, not ordinary eighty slaps. But the four elders of Fengjia Xingtang personally enforced the law, the rod of the third-level Grandmaster, how can it be so easy to bear? Eighty rods, let alone Feng Yuxue, even a strong and robust young man would have to peel off several layers of skin!

  Feng Qing has made up her mind to find a boyfriend for her granddaughter!

  Feng Youxues face turned even darker, and Feng Lings eyes were bloodshot with rage, as if he wanted to rush up and tear Feng Youyue apart.

  The two of them didnt feel grateful for their narrow escape, Feng Youyues actions made them feel like they had swallowed a fly! It was as if they had eaten feces, it was extremely nauseating!

  Very soon, the four elders took Feng Yuxue to the Criminal Hall. The news of what had happened in the main hall also spread quickly.

  Phoenix Jade Snow poisoned Phoenix Jade Moon, harming her own kin with malicious intentions. However, Phoenix Jade Moon was understanding and reasonable, so for the sake of the Feng familys five-year grand competition, she put aside her personal feelings and pleaded on behalf of Phoenix Jade Snow. Her magnanimity is truly admirable!

  At that time, Feng Youyues reputation in the Feng family suddenly skyrocketed! And Feng Yuxue, on the other hand, transformed from a goddess in many peoples hearts to an evil and sinister person! Such a result made her both furious and heartbroken, grinding her silver teeth into dust!

  Embracing the moon garden.

  "Haha! You stinky girl, youre so cunning! This move is a perfect retreat and counterattack. Feng Yuexue and that old man Feng Ling are completely defeated, both in terms of strategy and reputation! Haha! Well done!" Feng Cang laughed loudly, his voice like thunder, with intense joy and relief in his eyes.

  Feng Youyue hooked her lips, sitting on the long bench in the corridor, lazily leaning back and smiling slyly. "The thing that Feng Youxue cares about most is other peoples eyes. Letting her live under everyones criticism would be more painful than killing her. Moreover, the Grand Tournament is just around the corner, and she still has some use left. Even if we want to get rid of her, it should wait until after the tournament ends. However, Grandfather, the Great Elder might not let things slide. You need to be careful."

  Feng Congs smile disappeared, and he let out a cold snort. "What kind of thoughts does that old man have? I didnt bother to care about him before, but now that he and Feng Yuexue almost got you killed, I wont forgive him! However, little one, whats going on with your cultivation?" He had already heard from Feng Yuemei about the past few days events and knew that Feng Yuexue was chasing her, causing her to fall off a cliff and hit her head. But this cultivation... His eyes gradually lit up, "Could it be that you encountered some great opportunity?!"

  Feng Youyue smiled slightly, her lazy eyes gleaming with mischief. She leaned in close to Feng Qings ear and whispered a few words. Feng Qing suddenly lifted his head, staring at her in shock.

  Her own granddaughter turned out to be the one and only Chaos Body! No wonder! No wonder!

  "Heaven has eyes, and youve been given such an opportunity. You can cultivate and protect yourself, so Grandfather can rest at ease!" Feng Qing let out a long sigh, his eyes filled with relief. Fifteen years had passed! What he worried about most was this granddaughter of his! Now that she could cultivate, even if he were to die, he could do so in peace!

  Feng Youyues heart felt a slight warmth, she proactively grasped Feng Cangs arm and leaned on his broad shoulder. Her parents had gone missing when she was five years old, and over the years, it was Feng Cang who personally raised her. This kinship moved Feng Youyue and left an indelible mark.

  "Grandpa, whats the big deal about the five-year plan? Why does everyone take it so seriously?"

  Feng Cong was taken aback and suddenly remembered that his granddaughter had always been foolish and didnt know much about the affairs of Wanlan Country, so he also felt relieved in his heart.

  "The Five-Year Grand Comparison is the most grand comparison in Wanlan Country. It determines the ranking and strength of the aristocratic families for the next five years. Moreover, the top three winners will receive the best resource rewards. Especially this year, its said that he will come to select people..."

  "Who is that?" Feng Youyue stared at Feng Cang in surprise, seeing his face full of admiration and reverence, and couldnt help but wonder. Feng Cang was the number one dual-attribute Grandmaster of Wanlan Country, so who would be treated with such respect by him?

  Digression

  This chapter is so exciting! Everyone guess, who is that? With an evil smile...
