As the Empress, she had not bowed down to anyone in many years. Even if she was facing the Lady Phoenix at this moment, she was determined not to pay her respects.
“At this point in time, we cannot be certain of your identity as Lady Phoenix, so I will not bow to you. When we reach the Lady Phoenix Shrine and you are recognized, it will not be too late for me to pay my respects to you then.”
Upon hearing her words, the corners of Feng Tianlan’s lips curled up and she decided not to argue with her. She only lifted up her hands and secretly unleashed spiritual force to hit her knee directly. With a loud bang, Empress Feng Wu, who was wearing robes embroidered with dragon patterns, was forced to kneel down with one knee on the ground.
Feng Tianlan simpy lifted up her gaze and spoke calmly, “Please rise.”
“Your Majesty.” General Zuo quickly moved forward to help the Empress.
“Scram! Do not touch me!” Empress Feng Wu flung General Zuo’s hands aside and stood up on her own indignantly. She glared at Feng Tianlan in anger and gritted her teeth. Feng Tianlan!
Facing the enraged glare of Empress Feng Wu, Feng Tianlan watched with a smile on her face and did not show a single trace of fear. Trying to intimidate her? In that case, she would intimidate this two-faced Empress first!
Since they had kicked up such a big fuss bringing her to Tianfeng Nation against her will, then they should bear the consequences. Moreover, her mother’s madness was related to the royal family of Tianfeng Nation, so there was even more reason for her not to hold herself back in dealing with them!
Empress Feng Wu clenched her teeth, raising her eyes to look at Ji You, waiting for him to speak up for her. However, this did not happen. So finally, she could only suppress the anger in her heart. “Return to the palace!”
This time, she did not linger and turned around to leave immediately. Her figure, which should have appeared domineering, seemed rather defeated at this point.
General Zuo lifted up his head and glanced at Feng Tianlan with hatred. He would remember how she had humiliated Her Majesty and if he ever found a suitable opportunity, he would definitely beat this shitty Lady Phoenix to help Her Majesty vent her anger!
Feng Tianlan was not bothered about having two more enemies. Since her position as the Lady Phoenix was even higher than that of the Empress, she did not need to restrain herself. Moreover, she never intended to let herself be wronged.
She was only there to find her mother.
“Where is Feng Shu?” Feng Tianlan asked eagerly when she reached the palace that was meant for her to stay in temporarily. Feng Tianlan could not wait any longer. The reason she had come to Tianfeng Nation was not for anything except to seek her mother.
Ji You did not know that Feng Tianlan’s soul was Shen Qingdai yet, thus he was puzzled about her question. “Feng Shu was the Lady Phoenix of the previous generation, so naturally she now stays at the Lady Phoenix Shrine. Why are you looking for her?”
Ji You did not really view Feng Shu as his Master. After all, to him, she was not the real Lady Phoenix. She possessed only the position and the title. As such, he treated her like a royal at best.
“Where is the Lady Phoenix Shrine?” Feng Tianlan asked anxiously.
“In the East, when the auspicious day has been chosen, you will be brought to stay there, if…”
Feng Tianlan interrupted Ji You’s words anxiously, ” I want to see her now.”
Upon seeing how she could not even wait one more minute, Ji You became more puzzled. “You could go up there simply by riding Qing Luan…”
Before he finished speaking, Feng Tianlan got up and looked at Qing Luan, who was in the yard. For the moment, the sedan had already been put away. When Qing Luan heard Feng Tianlan, she lifted her head and gently called out to her like to a baby.
Feng Tianlan directly got onto Qing Luan’s back. “Let us go to the Lady Phoenix Shrine.”
Qing Luan called out loudly, then flew into the sky and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
“Lady Phoenix!” When Ji You emerged, Qing Luan had already flown more than ten feet away. He could only make use of his spiritual force and try his best to chase after her.
When Empress Feng Wu who was at Phoenix Hall saw Qing Luan with Feng Tianlan flashing past her eyes, her eyes grew cold. It had been hundreds of years since someone could control Qing Luan, but this Feng Tianlan did it. It seemed that she was really the Lady Phoenix.
