The Tempestuous Consort - Wilfully Pampered by the Beastly Highness - Chapter 399

Chapter 399: Analyzing the Reasons Why

Luo Yunzhu got up then sat down on the stone bench. She briefly described what happened, sobbing all the while.

While they had been training in the Misty Forest, a supremacy from the Xuantian Continent had heavily injured Luo Yuanjie, and he’d fainted. Then, he’d taken over the Blue Flame Academy with his accomplice, Luo Zhouquan. However, the Luo family had a rule that only the first wife’s eldest could inherit the Academy. Therefore, he needed to kill Luo Yunzhu to have the right to inherit the Blue Flame Academy.

Luo Yunzhu’s personal maid had gone to Misty Town to bring her this information.

“I’m so sorry that I couldn’t be by your side.” Feng Tianlan lowered her head in guilt. If she had come back with Yunzhu that day, things might not have turned out so bad.

Luo Yunzhu shook her head as she cried, “No, it’s not your fault. It’s them. By the time the maid came looking for me, my dad was already dead. If you hadn’t asked His Highness to help me, I would also be…boohoo! Tianlan, I want my dad to scold me again. I want him to hit me again, but…boohoo!”

Her father had doted on her so much. Even though he scolded her and hit her from time to time, this was only because he wanted her to live up to his expectations. Besides, her father was very protective. He would never say a single bad word about his daughter in public. He only reprimanded her behind closed doors.

If she’d known that her trip to the Misty Forest could have resulted in her father’s death, she wouldn’t have ever gone anywhere.

Looking at Luo Yunzhu lying on top of the table and crying miserably, Feng Tianlan felt terrible. She did not know how to comfort her friend, and the only thing she could do was stay quietly by her side. At the same time, she was working out a list of reasons why Luo Yuanjie had been murdered.

The Xuantian Continent normally had nothing to do with the Guiyuan Continent. Why had someone come here so suddenly, and just for a small academy? In the eyes of supremacies, they were not even worth a small village.

Luo Yunzhu cried until her voice was hoarse then stood up abruptly. Her swollen eyes burned with vigorous flames as she said, “Tianlan, I must go to the Xuantian Continent. I want to find the person behind all this. I want to avenge my father.”

She and her brother were the only descendants left in the Luo family. Initially, she’d spared her brother because he was the last of the bloodline. However, that person had also killed her brother!

“Alright. We will vigorously massacre our way to the Xuantian Continent.” Feng Tianlan held Luo Yunzhu’s hand. Her voice was as cold as ice and sturdy as a rock.

Luo Yunzhu’s eyes burned with the fire of hatred. Looking into them, Feng Tianlan felt as if she were looking at herself when she’d first learned the truth about her parents’ deaths just before she died. Back then, she hadn’t been able to wait to devour Shen Yunya and the others who’d hurt her.

Luo Yunzhu couldn’t shed another tear. However, her hatred told her that, from today onward, until she’d successfully avenged her family, she could not cry anymore. She had to be strong because her father was no longer here to back her up. Her father was no longer around to take out life’s trash for her.

Once Feng Tianlan saw Luo Yunzhu’s emotions stabilizing slightly, she asked her for the details once again. People from the Xuantian Continent did not come to the Guiyuan Continent out of the blue. There must be a reason why they’d come, and right now, that’s all she wanted to know.

“Luo Zhouquan only hired one supremacy to kill my dad. He wanted him to inherit Blue Flame Academy for the supremacy’s use. The supremacy was dressed in black. His face couldn’t be seen clearly at all. He injured my dad without just one move and, in the end, killed him. He didn’t leave behind any trace.”

After hearing Luo Yunzhu’s words, Feng Tianlan frowned. For an Earth Supreme, killing a Spiritual King was as easy as killing an ant. It was admittedly difficult for the supreme to leave any trace behind.

“Yunzhu, does your family have any heirlooms?”

Luo Yunzhu shook her head. “No, we only inherited the Blue Flame Academy. My dad did not tell me about anything else.”

“Do you know the history of the Blue Flame Academy? The must be a reason for someone from the Xuantian Continent to have come all the way here. We must look to your ancestry for clues.”
