The Zuo family.
Everything was fine at first when Zuo Qingluan returned home.
However, when news of Feng Wu’s Divine Phoenix Blood spread, she sensed the change in people’s attitudes.
From her parents and uncles to the older generations and the servants, everybody was giving her looks which reminded her of how things had been like five years ago.
“Why is Feng Wu better than you in everything?
“You both have the True Phoenix Blood. Why aren’t you as good as she is?
“Why can she learn everything in an instant? Why are you so stupid?!
“Why…”
The memory nearly gave Zuo Qingluan a nervous breakdown.
She couldn’t stand those words five years ago, and now that she had risen so high, she tolerated them even less.
It was worse than being cut repeatedly with a blunt knife.
The first person she went to see was her grandfather, and she would never forget the look he gave her.
He couldn’t have seemed more disappointed. “Leave. I don’t want to see you again.”
Did he give up on her because she didn’t have the Divine Phoenix Blood?
She couldn’t accept it.
“Feng Wu, I hate you!”
Zuo Qingluan smashed everything in her place, but that still wasn’t enough. She wanted to tear down all the walls.
She couldn’t be bothered to set up a barrier this time, so everybody could hear the noise of her kicking and throwing things around.
Many servants were so scared that they stopped what they were doing and looked at Zuo Qingluan’s courtyard.
Right now, Zuo Qingluan was lashing out at the jade pendant.
She believed Shadow Phoenix was responsible for her defeat.
“How could you do that to me?
“Are you my Shadow Phoenix or not?
“How could you betray me at the last minute?!
“She doesn’t even have the True Phoenix Blood!
“Her Divine Phoenix Blood must be fake!
“You bastard! You betrayed me!”
Zuo Qingluan smashed the pendant on the ground.
The pendant cracked, and the Shadow Phoenix emerged. It glared at Zuo Qingluan and wanted to swallow her whole.
Its eyes were bloodshot red.
There were flames in its eyes!
Zuo Qingluan was intimidated. It seemed she had offended the bird.
Shadow Phoenix didn’t show Zuo Qingluan any respect. “What did you say? Her blood is better than yours, and it’s somehow my fault?”
Zuo Qingluan didn’t know what to say.
Shadow Phoenix said, “I’ve put up with you for so long! Everybody thinks you’re this perfect girl, but you’re horrible when the door is closed! You’re so fake!”
Zuo Qingluan was dumbfounded. She didn’t know Shadow Phoenix could be so mean.
Shadow Phoenix went on. “I can’t stand your worthless blood anymore! Don’t bother me again! I don’t want your True Phoenix Blood!”
Zuo Qingluan was furious.
She was so proud of her True Phoenix Blood, but Shadow Phoenix made it sound like it was nothing!
Just then, she heard some noise outside.
“His Royal Highness is here!”
“OMG! Why is His Royal Highness here?”
“Is the rumor true? Is he really in love with Miss Qingluan?”
