Chapter 279 Broken Fate

The night rolled on like thick ink, and a heavy atmosphere still hung in the side hall. Yun Junrui still knelt beside the coffin, his hands tightly gripping the three phoenix eggs. The familiar warmth and faint glow seemed to be his only remaining sanity and hope. The slightly warm touch of the eggshells made him feel as if Ling'er was still by his side. Even these cold eggshells seemed to bring him a sense of comfort.

Feng Yi's figure gradually disappeared outside the door, his determination resolute and unwavering. Yun Xiaoling sighed deeply and finally walked over to Yun Junrui. His voice was as low as the suppressed wind, "Junrui, Feng Yi is right. Ling'er's body can't be preserved like this any longer. We must make a decision quickly."

Yun Junrui's hands trembled slightly, his gaze fixed on the coffin, as if it were his final salvation. Something seemed to be choking his throat, making it difficult for him to speak. His deep voice betrayed an unconcealed pain: "Father... tell me, Ling'er... will she come back?" He looked at Yun Xiaoling, as if searching for a glimmer of hope, but his eyes were empty, devoid of any light.

Yun Xiaoling stared at him, a chorus of emotions welling up within him, knowing full well that this decision would inevitably bring harm. After a moment's silence, he softly replied, "She will come back. But we must believe that no matter how painful it is, we must choose the right path." His voice was weakly resolute, but the pain was still evident in his eyes.

Gu Yazhu stood by, her expression solemn, her gaze shifting between the coffin and Yun Junrui. Seeing her son's pain, she felt a similar pain, yet she knew the choice at this moment hinged on their family's future. "Junrui," she whispered softly, her voice like a gentle spring breeze, tinged with a barely suppressed sadness. "Although your heart aches, you must understand that Ling'er's resurrection is paramount. She will definitely return, but without a complete body, she will never be reborn."

Yun Junrui's eyes lost focus. In that instant, he seemed to have lost all hope. He looked down at the three phoenix eggs, his lips trembling slightly, his voice so low it was almost inaudible: "If she really comes back... can she still be herself?"

Yun Xiaoling stared at him, his heart filled with endless pain and helplessness. After a moment's silence, he whispered, "She can come back, but only if her body remains intact so her soul can find a home. If she can't even achieve that, then that's a true loss."

Feng Yi returned to the main hall, his fury still lingering, but reason gradually calmed him. Lu Ling'er's resurrection was a matter of grave importance; he could not give up. Feng Yi knew that Yun Junrui and Yun Xiaoling were both struggling for Ling'er's resurrection, but he remained steadfast in his resolve—Ling'er's body must be protected, no matter the cost.

In the main hall, Feng Yi's wife Changsun Qingyao, eldest son Feng Jingxuan, second son Feng Jingyan, third son Feng Jingsu, fourth daughter Feng Xinying, fifth son Lu Jingheng, seventh son Lu Jingming, eighth son Lu Jingwen and others gathered together to discuss the next steps.

As Lu Ling'er's twin brother, Lu Jingheng had a deep affection for her, and the pain in his heart was beyond words. He knew that if Yun Junrui hadn't been guarding the phoenix egg, he would have rushed to seek revenge on the man who had "killed his sister twice."

In the stillness of the night, Yun Junrui finally stood up. His body was shaky, his eyes filled with uncontrollable pain and confusion. He finally lowered his head, a faint hint of determination in his tone: "I will let her go... But if she doesn't come back to me, she will be lost to me forever."

Yun Xiaoling looked at his eldest son and patted his shoulder gently: "Jun Rui, Ling'er's resurrection is not your fault. We will do our best to preserve her body, and she will come back."

Yun Junrui took a deep breath, his eyes gradually regaining some clarity, but that undying obsession still burned in his heart. Ling'er, if she could come back, he would pay any price, just to see her smile again.

But at that time, he knew in his heart that the hope of resurrection and the fear of loss were quietly devouring his strength and determination.
