C60 (1/2)

Bai Zheng was shocked by his words. ”What's wrong with you?”

Feng Linyuan did not care about her question, and turned into the house.

Bai Zheng followed closely behind.

After Feng Linyuan stepped into the hall, surprisingly, he did not walk into any of the rooms. Instead, he stayed behind on the red wooden table, staring at the two portraits on the wall.

”There's a problem with the drawing.” Feng Linyuan muttered.

”What problem?”

”When I was searching for medicine in the clan's ancestral hall, I saw a portrait of the Wife of Departed Marquis. It was exactly the same, except that there was a mole on the corner of this picture's mouth.”

Bai Zheng looked at the portrait, and sure enough, she found a small red mole at the corner of Wife of Departed Marquis's mouth.

Bai Zheng had never been to the ancestral hall, so she naturally had not seen the picture of the Wife of Departed Marquis. But she could not help but exclaim, this Feng Linyuan, she is truly a photographic memory!

Feng Linyuan flew forward as he tapped lightly on the red mole on the Wife of Departed Marquis's portrait with his finger.

Bai Zheng stared intently at her surroundings, preparing the mechanism that was about to jump out.

Silence. Silence.

There was no response from the room.

Bai Zheng looked around in disbelief.

”Look over there!” Feng Linyuan pointed to the door.

Bai Zheng looked towards the direction of the voice and could not help but suck in a breath of cold air.

A round box made of gilded metal had risen up from the lake in front of the house.

Feng Linyuan rose into the air, the tip of his foot brushing past the surface of the water as he arrived at the center of the lake.

Perhaps it was because the box was secretive enough and there was no padlock on the outside. Feng Linyuan carefully opened the lid made of pure gold. Inside, he saw a plant with leaves as thin as human bones.

Who else could it be other than the Bone-penetrating Herb?

Feng Linyuan took out a Bone-penetrating Herb, and also took out a medicinal herb that looked extremely similar to a Bone-penetrating Herb out of his bosom and placed it back inside the box.

Bai Zheng watched from afar and the corners of her mouth unconsciously raised upwards.

And on the other side, Su Muxiao, who had been continuously slapped a few times by Zheng Yan, was in a difficult situation. Her face, which was originally white and soft, was now covered in red marks, and blood kept seeping out from the corners of her mouth.

If it were not for the fact that Su Muxiao was useful enough, and that she could not be beaten to death by Zheng Yan just like that, Feng Jingxuan did not want to take this opportunity to come out and send people to stop Zheng Yan from becoming more and more ruthless.

”Miss Zheng, little sister Xiao isn't that kind of person. Who knows, maybe it's just a misunderstanding? If you keep on fighting like this, it will be bad for your life. ” Feng Jingxuan advised.

Su Muxiao was after all, the daughter of a Second Rank Scholar, and her uncle was Bai Yizhang.
