Chapter 209: The End of the Farce (1/2)

When Feng Wan’er entered the manor, she saw a strange scene where the outer valley disciples were scattered around in groups of threes and fours. Some of them were standing, some were sitting. There were even some who were sleeping soundly on the ground. The elder who had always placed emphasis on appearance was dressed in messy clothes. They didn’t even fit on his body… His hair was in a complete mess and there was even an outer valley kneeling down without clothes.

“Elder, what is going on?” Feng Wan’er came back with the core disciples. When she saw the scene in front of her, she couldn’t hold back her curiosity.

The Phoenix King Valley Elder turned to look at Feng Wan’er. Even though he was angry in his heart, he couldn’t vent it out on Feng Wan’er. However, when he spoke, there was a tinge of anger in his voice. “How dare you ask me that question… My spirit ring was stolen and everything inside was taken!”

“What?” Feng Wan’er yelled in surprise. Everyone knew the contents of the spirit ring. Now that the elder said that everything was gone, there was no doubt about it.

Feng Wan’er was unwilling to accept the elder’s words. “Elder, are… are you sure? How is everything gone? What about the Green Flame Eagle…”

Before she could complete her sentence, the elder snapped, “That’s right! Everything is gone! Not just the egg, even this old man’s priceless treasures are gone! After so many years, all of my treasures are gone! How many times do you want this old man to say it? Do you think this old man has the time to lie about things like this?”

Feng Wan’er was rubbing salt on the elder’s wounds, but she wasn’t at fault. She wasn’t the one who lost the ring and neither was she supposed to be guarding the ring. She never knew that asking the same question twice would cause the elder to blow up.

The feminine man was great at observing facial expressions and seeing how enraged the elder was, he silently tugged at Feng Wan’er’s sleeve. He hinted for her to keep quiet.

However, Feng Wan’er’s personality was notorious and she struggled free of her senior brother’s grip. “Elder, do you know who did it?”

The elder’s face turned a shade darker every time someone asked a question. At this point, his face was darker than the bottom of a pot. He shook his head and replied, “There are no clues. Someone knocked us out with sleeping incense and the next thing I know, the ring is gone.”

Sleeping incense? Feng Wan’er frowned after hearing the reply. Her mind spun and she thought about the person capable enough to concoct such a powerful medicine to knock the elder out.
