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

Feng Ning hadn't expected Old Master Hai to jump out at this moment. Her expression remained unchanged. "Yes, I am Feng Ning. And this gentleman is?"

Grandpa Hai looked hurt. "You...you don't recognize me?"

Feng Ning smiled. "Should I know you?"

"I am your grandfather! How can you not recognize me?"

Hai Lingruo looked over with a grim expression, barely able to maintain her composure.

"Are you Feng Ning?"

Feng Ning ignored him and sat down directly in place.

Hai Lingruo's face turned even uglier. "Grandfather, you've mistaken me for someone else. Sister Feng Ning doesn't look like this."

That ugly hag! How could she possibly be so beautiful?

The scar on her face was so ugly, it looked like a monster. It couldn't possibly be that!

That Feng Ning, who knows where he is now? Without the protection of the Hai family, he's probably long gone.

Grandpa Hai stared intently at Feng Ning, "No, you are Feng Ning, you are my granddaughter."

Upon hearing this, Gu Wenlang's face lit up with joy. "So Junior Sister Feng is the granddaughter of Old Master Hai! Since she's a member of the Hai family, she's a member of my Holy Feather Kingdom. What a coincidence!"

Yao Feibai frowned and looked over. "Really?"

Feng Ning's eyes were filled with laughter, "Don't you already know whether I am or not?"

Yao Feibai returned the smile and looked at Gu Wenlang, "It seems that this old man has mistaken me for someone else. My junior sister is not from your Holy Feather Kingdom, nor is she from the Hai family."

Grandpa Hai refused to believe it, saying, "Impossible, you are my granddaughter!"

"Where's the evidence?" Feng Ning looked at them with a sarcastic expression. "You say I'm from your family? Then call out my parents, whom you're talking about, and let them see if they can recognize their own daughter."

There was anger on Grandpa Hai's face, but even more so, heartache.

"Ning'er, are you angry with your grandfather?"

Gu Wenlang hurriedly asked, "Patriarch Hai, what evidence do you have to prove that Junior Sister is a member of the Hai family?"

He gave Grandpa Hai an approving look.

Grandpa Hai didn't have time to think about anything else; he was only focused on pondering the problem.

What evidence is there?

His eyes lit up instantly, "Yes! My granddaughter has a rare ice spirit root talent!"

Gu Wenlang breathed a sigh of relief, "That's it, Junior Sister Feng Ning also has an ice spirit root."

Feng Ning suddenly laughed, "There are so many people with ice spiritual roots in this world, does that mean everyone is a member of their family? Or does it mean that no one else is allowed to have ice spiritual roots except for members of their family?"

Gu Wenlang's face stiffened.

"But this is too much of a coincidence. The same name, even the same spiritual root. Does Junior Sister still want to deny it?"

Feng Ning shrugged. "What you're saying makes no sense. Do you really want to give me a new set of parents to satisfy me? I have my own parents and my own family. Why should I acknowledge others as my relatives?"

Grandpa Hai was very anxious. Feng Ning was indeed the most talented among the younger generation in their family. If she really left, what hope would the Hai family have?

No, absolutely not!

His mind raced as he considered how to prove it.

Hai Lingruo was anxious. She had finally gotten rid of that bitch, so why was another one showing up?

And yet another ice-elemental root!

That ugly monster from before was nothing to worry about, but the person in front of me is a disciple of the Tianxuan Sect, they're not even in the same league.

She would never allow such a thing to happen.

How can we stop this from happening?

Just as everyone was at an impasse, a person on the high platform said softly, "Feng Ning, stop making a scene and go back with your grandfather."

Feng Ning turned her head toward her wife on the high platform with a puzzled look, without saying a word.

Hai Chenxi, the one who became Emperor Shengyu's concubine, was Hai Lingruo's aunt.

Hai Chenxi was immediately enraged when she was ignored. "How dare you! You actually ignored me!"

Feng Ning didn't even glance at her. "May I ask who this lady is? How dare she speak to me in such a commanding manner? Could it be that you are the Empress of this Holy Feather Kingdom?"

Hai Chenxi's face darkened. "What nonsense are you spouting?"

"Am I talking nonsense? But the way you're talking makes it sound like you're in charge of the entire palace. I'm a disciple of the Tianxuan Sect, and even my master has never spoken to me like that. Who do you think you are?"

After saying this, Hai Chenxi was speechless.

A woman sitting next to Emperor Shengyu glanced at Hai Chenxi behind her and said, "Consort Chen, you have overstepped your bounds!"

Hai Chenxi glared at Feng Ning with resentment, but finally regained her composure and said, "Yes, Your Majesty."

The Holy Feather Emperor remained silent throughout, seemingly lost in thought.

Finally, he waved his hand and said, "Whether you are a member of the Hai family or not, it is your honor to marry into the Holy Feather Royal Family. You should express your gratitude."

Feng Ning chuckled, "Holy Feather Emperor, you're probably not qualified to make decisions for me."

Emperor Shengyu was furious. "Insolence!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a powerful pressure swept over them, pressing down on the four of them.

But the four of them showed no sign of yielding and gritted their teeth and persevered.

Yao Feibai suddenly pulled out a jade token. "Holy Feather Emperor, I am a prince of Changyang Kingdom. Are you trying to start a war with my Changyang Kingdom by treating me like this?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the atmosphere in the hall became strange.

The oppressive aura has been half withdrawn; it's unclear whether it should be withdrawn completely or continued.

Emperor Shengyu was also at his wit's end, "You are a prince of Changyang Kingdom?"

Yao Feibai fiddled with the jade pendant in his hand. "This is a token of the royal family of my Changyang Kingdom. It has the royal totem on it. You can't possibly not recognize it, can you?"

Emperor Shengyu was speechless.

Of course he could recognize it, but how did things escalate to this point?

If this matter cannot be resolved reasonably, he will probably lose all face.

He glared at Gu Wenlang, who was also surprised that this newly initiated disciple had such a background.

Everyone fell silent, unsure of how to resolve the situation.

Especially since the ancient emperor had just attacked them, the whole thing seemed even more bizarre.

Gu Wenlang gritted his teeth. If this matter could not be resolved reasonably, he feared that his father would harbor even deeper resentment towards him.

He thought for a moment and said, "Our Holy Feather Kingdom and Changyang Kingdom have always been on good terms, so it is impossible for us to start a war easily. But this matter is ultimately a matter for us juniors, and it is not necessary to involve two countries in this."

Yao Feibai smiled and said, "That's not necessarily true."

Gu Wenlang gritted his teeth in anger, but when he thought about what was to come, he still suppressed his anger and said, "My royal family of the Holy Feather Kingdom has a kinship verification stone. If you want to know whether Junior Sister Feng Ning is a member of the Hai family or not, you can find out with one test."
