Chapter 280 Broken Hope

As soon as the morning sun shone into the side hall, Feng Yi quickly arrived with his family and followers, ready to take Lu Ling'er's coffin away. The air was filled with a heavy atmosphere. Yun Junrui was still kneeling beside the coffin, his hands tightly holding the three phoenix eggs. Every inch of the touch of his fingertips seemed to transmit the remaining warmth of Lu Ling'er's life. Although the light was weak, the emotions in his heart were like a prairie fire that could not be extinguished. His eyes were empty and confused, as if he had fallen into an endless abyss. Every whisper was like a soliloquy: "Ling'er, you must come back to see your husband and children. No matter how long it takes, I will wait for you."

The child within the phoenix egg seemed to sense its mother's impending departure, and a faint light began to flicker, as if responding to Yun Junrui's call. The eggshell trembled slightly, the light a silent farewell.

Yun Junrui's eyes grew even emptier, as if he could no longer bear the shock of reality. His twin brother, Yun Junche, and his two older sisters, Yun Ruoxi and Yun Ruolin, also stood nearby, watching Yun Junrui in helpless silence. An indescribable heaviness hung in the air.

Yun Xiaoling stood by, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes, and looked at Feng Yi: "Brother Feng, do you need a carriage escort? It seems that you don't have a carriage prepared. If you don't mind, you can use ours first." Although Yun Xiaoling knew in his heart that the relationship between their two families had become complicated, for the sake of his three grandsons who were still in the phoenix eggs, he still hoped to avoid complete hostility and hatred.

Feng Yi waved his hand slightly, his voice cold but unrejecting. "No need. We have a plan. Brother Yun, please keep an eye on your son and my grandson. See you at Taoyuan Villa in twenty days." As soon as he finished speaking, everyone in the Feng family and their followers, with the exception of Changsun Qingyao, transformed into phoenixes. Feng Yi, as the Phoenix Emperor, transformed into a golden phoenix, its feathers gleaming with dazzling brilliance. He crouched down and allowed his wife, Changsun Qingyao, to climb onto his back.

Under Feng Yi's guidance, his sons and daughters each transformed into a phoenix representing their own color. They lifted the coffin in an orderly manner and prepared to take off.

At this moment, Yun Junrui suddenly spoke, his voice tinged with eagerness and curiosity. "Father-in-law Fengdi, may I ask what color is Ling'er's phoenix?" He had noticed that each member of the Feng family's phoenix transformation had a unique and distinctive color, and his curiosity was piqued. He had never seen such a beautiful and mysterious phoenix, and he had no idea Ling'er was a member of the Phoenix clan. He hoped to learn some secrets about Ling'er from Feng Yi.

Feng Yi's face darkened, clearly dissatisfied with the question. He didn't answer immediately, but turned and prepared to take off. Yun Junrui's eyes followed the coffin closely, as if he could connect everything through his eyes. Silence stretched in the air, almost suffocating.

Seeing this, Changsun Qingyao felt a pang of pity. She knew Feng Yi was reluctant to speak, but she couldn't ignore it, especially during such a difficult time. Yun Junrui's pain deeply touched her heart. Her gaze softened as she gently stepped forward and whispered, "Junrui, Ling'er is a purple phoenix, just like your royal symbol, 'Purple Air Coming from the East.'" Her words shone with a hint of reluctance and concern, and her eyes held a palpable tenderness and resignation, as if she were trying to untie a knot for Yun Junrui, and at the same time, to offer some compensation for Feng Yi's indifference.

Yun Junrui was stunned for a moment, a complex mix of emotions swirling within him. He quietly thanked her, "Thank you, mother-in-law. I will definitely take good care of the three children." At that moment, his gaze hardened, and he quietly made up his mind.

From then on, he decided to wear purple clothes forever and have beautiful purple feathers like Ling'er. Although he knew that doing so might not really fill the void left by Ling'er's departure, it could at least maintain a trace of eternal connection between him and Ling'er.

Following Feng Yi's command, the coffin was lifted, and the Feng family transformed into phoenixes of various colors, swiftly soaring into the air, carrying Lu Ling'er's coffin to the Phoenix Palace. Yun Junrui watched them drift away, his heart filled with unspeakable pain and loss. He knew that although Ling'er's body had departed, her soul, her hopes, remained steadfast within him. And he would continue to wait, until the moment she could return with a new life.
