All beasts submit, and the peerless imperial princess is about to defy the heavens!

"As for anything else, I gradually found out about it through my interactions with her over the years. I joined the Tianxuan Sect, and she couldn't do anything about me, so she could only compare herself to me in every way."

Feng Ning's expression was complicated.

"So the discord between Senior Sister and Kuang Qian was something that existed before, but Senior Sister dislikes Kuang Qian because she dug up someone else's spiritual root?"

Teng Rou nodded.

Only then did he realize that he had said too much, and waved his hand.

“These are all old stories, and there’s no point in talking about them now. I’ve regretted it for many years because I didn’t have the ability to save that child back then.”

Feng Ning shook her head inwardly, "My dear senior sister, you're not hopeless at all. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't know the truth. You've already done very well."

She patted Teng Rou on the shoulder. "Senior Sister, perhaps this is the suffering that child needs to go through. Perhaps she can survive after that."

Teng Rou waved her hand, "Let's not talk about the past. Stay away from Kuang Qian in the future. She's just a jerk. If you're wronged, tell your senior sister, and she'll stand up for you."

Feng Ning nodded, "Senior sister, actually I also have something to tell you."

"what?"

When I was five years old, someone dug out one of my spiritual roots.

Teng Rou turned her head sharply, her face full of disbelief. "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Her face was full of doubt.

"You've heard too many stories and started projecting them onto yourself, haven't you? Don't you have your spiritual root within you?"

Feng Ning shook her head. "I was five years old at the time. I originally lived with a pack of wolves. Later, Tian Wei passed by, took a liking to my spiritual root, dug it up, killed my pack of wolves, and sold me to the slave market in Xuanwu City."

Teng Rou's pupils suddenly contracted. "It really is you!"

She is now absolutely certain.

Because she only mentioned encountering Tianwei digging up spiritual roots, but never mentioned that they encountered a pack of wolves or killed them.

You can't know so much unless you see it with your own eyes.

Feng Ning nodded helplessly, "If my senior sister hadn't been so honest with me, I probably wouldn't have known the truth back then."

Teng Rou immediately felt a pang of heartache. "So it was you! I knew it was you. When I saw you before, I had a strange feeling of familiarity. It was you."

She has had a knot in her heart for many years. The screams of Xiao Fengning when her spiritual root was dug out, and her pained little face, often appear in her dreams.

She felt regret and fear, and had been tormented by it for so many years.

She had long ago memorized Feng Ning's face perfectly.

Even after so many years, she could still see the same look on her face.

Feng Ning also sighed, "I was wondering why my usually aloof and self-possessed senior sister would change her personality so much when she met me, becoming so gentle only towards me. So that's where it all started. I was so scared that I thought she liked me."

No wonder.

Teng Rou was making up for all the guilt she felt towards that young child by treating her gently.

Fortunately, that was when she was young; otherwise, wouldn't she have become someone else's substitute, enjoying someone else's kindness for nothing?

Knowing it was her, she felt relieved.

But I also feel even more sorry for this senior sister.

Unexpectedly, the things she experienced a few years ago have lingered in her memory for ten years, making her feel an immediate sense of closeness upon seeing her.

At this moment, Feng Ning finally regarded Teng Rou as one of his own.

However, Teng Rou seemed to have suddenly seen the light and relaxed completely.

The child from back then is fine; she has grown up and is not only beautiful but also possesses extraordinary abilities.

When she looked at Feng Ning, her eyes softened even more.

From then on, she treated her like her own little sister and was determined to take good care of her.

After the two recounted what had happened, they became even more disgusted with Kuang Qian's actions.

Now that she knew the whole story, she certainly wouldn't let Kuang Qian off the hook.

Little did I know that their feud had already begun long ago.

As the two were discussing how to deal with it, Ye Yuan interjected, "I can help you."

Feng Ning asked in surprise, "Didn't you just wake up? Are you alright?"

Ye Yuan's eyes held amusement. "Are you suspecting something?"

Feng Ning shrank back and didn't dare to say anything more.

Teng Rou was a little puzzled by the way these two were interacting. Weren't they friends? Why did Feng Ning seem so afraid of this man?

Ye Yuan continued, "Even when I was injured, I was able to stop your master. Now that I've recovered some of my spiritual power, dealing with Xuanwu City won't be a problem."

Feng Ning laughed for a moment, but quickly stopped laughing.

"Why didn't you say anything earlier? Why didn't you say anything when that woman provoked you? Why didn't you say anything when she tried to hit you? Did you expect me to help you deal with her?"

Ye Yuan sneered, "You're a subordinate. Do you really need me, the boss, to handle such a small matter personally?"

Feng Ning choked.

You know what, what they said makes a lot of sense.

She said speechlessly, "If I had known you could handle it, I wouldn't have let those people go in the first place."

Ye Yuan stood up. "Then let's go."

"Where?"

"A dark and windy night, a murderous night."

Feng Ning's eyes suddenly lit up, her face filled with excitement.

Is it so exciting?

Teng Rou also stood up. "Let's go together. I won't feel at ease until we get rid of that woman."

Ye Yuan nodded, "You two handle the revenge yourselves, I'll take care of the others."

Feng Ning felt much more at ease; things were settled.

With the help of powerful figures, they will definitely be able to resolve this issue this time.

So the two of them took advantage of this opportunity and went directly to Xuanwu City.

With Ye Yuan backing them up, the two of them became much bolder in their actions.

Taking advantage of the chaos in the city lord's mansion, Feng Ning and Teng Rou sought revenge for their grievances and vengeance for their enemies.

When Kuang Qian saw the two of them arrive together, her anger intensified.

"I knew you two were no good. Two against one, you're shameless."

Feng Ning looked at her with a grin, "Yes, yes, you're the most concerned about your reputation. If you have any shame, how could you use someone else's spiritual root?"

Kuang Qian felt a chill run down her spine. How did she know about this?

But she would never admit it now, and instead angrily retorted, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Feng Ning nodded. "Really? Isn't this something we all know? What's the point of pretending with us? Can you prove you didn't do it?"

Kuang Qian was clearly flustered. Feng Ning didn't say much, but noticing that more and more people were gathering around, she could only turn to look at Teng Rou.

"Senior Sister, go help over there. I can manage here on my own."

"Are you sure you can do it?" Teng Rou asked with some concern.

"rest assured."
