His Highness the Madman gave in again today.

Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent.

Because it is indeed possible.

Yun Yihe listened from the side, a thoughtful look flashing across his eyes.

Yun Wangshu was his aunt, and he actually liked her very much when he was a child.

When she went missing, he sent people to search for her for a long time. At first, he was just worried about her. Later, when he learned of Feng Xingyu's existence and how he threatened his position, he slowly began to have selfish motives.

But now... it's all in the past.

"Let's not waste any more time, let's go."

"I'll go too."

Seeing the three of them about to leave, Yun Yihe quickly said, "My aunt is also my family. Now that I have news of her, I must go and see her."

"Whatever you say." Feng Xingyu glanced at him and, surprisingly, did not object.

Thus, the group of three became a group of four.

To avoid alerting the enemy, they only kept watch on the outskirts of Rongjing City, leaving Rong Xuanci to go back and keep an eye on things alone.

In the past, Rong Huaijin would not stay overnight in the clan unless there was something important that forced him to stay.

He returned at noon today. Upon learning of his return, Rong Xuanci did not dare to waste any time and immediately went to the Nine Provinces Continent to find Feng Xingyu and Mo Sangyu, only to find them gone.

Fortunately, they were found in time by the Cloud Clan.

"Feed".

The four landed on the beach outside Rongjing City's grand formation. Yun Yihe suddenly patted Rong Xuanci's shoulder lightly and asked in a low voice, "Did nothing unusual happen when you went to the Nine Provinces Continent?"

"What's the matter?"

Rong Xuanci was taken aback by his question.

Yun Yihe looked him up and down, then asked in a different way, "You didn't notice any danger?"

"What?"

"So how did you dodge it?"

"They have good manners; they know to use the door."

Mo Sangyu couldn't stand it anymore and interjected, "My electric grid only shocks those with ill intentions who only want to take crooked paths."

"..."

Yun Yihe shut up.

So, Yun Jin is the one who lacks manners.

It wasn't him.

"What are you talking about?"

Rong Xuanci was completely confused, while Feng Xingyu calmly scoffed, "Brother, you don't need to worry about it. Business is more important."

"it is good."

Ever since Rong Xuanci called him "brother-in-law," Feng Xingyu no longer harbored any hostility towards him. In addition, he was very grateful to Rong Xuanci for his wholehearted help in finding his mother's whereabouts.

Rong Xuanci didn't think much of it, turned around and told them, "Be careful and don't get discovered." Then he went into Rongjing City alone.

Originally, he thought that his third uncle would not stay overnight in the Rong clan according to his usual habits, but this time, he actually stayed in the Rong clan for two days.

And it seems he's not in a good mood.

Feng Xingyu and the other two were getting impatient waiting outside. They had told Gu Jinzhi that they would be back in no more than two days.

Mo Sangyu glanced at him and suggested, "Why don't you go back to the morning court session first, and then come over?"

Anyway, with the soul contract, he can find her no matter where she is.

Originally, this was the best solution.

Upon seeing Yun Yihe beside him, Feng Xingyu frowned deeply.

If I had known, I shouldn't have let him come along.

"And you?"

Feng Xingyu asked him, "Are you really that free? You've been gone for two days. Isn't there anything else to take care of in the clan?"

"I'm not in a hurry."

Yun Yihe said, "Don't worry, go back. I can stay here and take care of things. I'll go back after you return."

"Who needs your help?"

Feng Xingyu gave him a cold look and pulled him up: "Hurry up and leave, or you'll delay your clan's important affairs."

"Hey, you..."

Yun Yihe was forcibly dragged away by the man, who was choking him: "No, why are you so stingy? I was just trying to be kind..."

"Take it back, it's not needed."

"..."

Seeing the two figures disappear together, Mo Sangyu chuckled silently.

A short while later, Feng Xingyu, who should have already left, returned again.

"Why are you back again?"

"I'll get him out of here first."

When facing Mo Sangyu, Feng Xingyu did not hide his thoughts at all.

He would never allow Yun Yihe to stay behind alone.

"Ayu, you must be careful while you stay here. I'll go back and make some arrangements, and I'll be back soon."

He walked over, gave a few words of advice with some concern, and then used spatial magic to teleport away.

They had barely left when a slight fluctuation was felt in the Rong Clan's grand formation.

The next moment, Rong Huaijin emerged from inside.

Mo Sangyu immediately concealed himself behind a rock on the beach, hiding his presence as well.

After Rong Huaijin came out, he stood on the beach for a short while, glancing around warily. Finding nothing unusual, he continued to speed off in one direction.

They're quite cautious.

Just as Mo Sangyu was about to give chase, he saw the Rong Clan's formation fluctuate once again.

Rong Xuanci followed closely behind.

He glanced around and, finding no one there, frowned slightly.

It's only been two days, how come they've all run away?

They have absolutely no patience.

Seeing that the person had already gone far away, and fearing that he would not be able to catch up if he did not chase after them, Rong Xuanci did not hesitate and chased after them at top speed.

Mo Sangyu followed closely behind him.

The three of them flew one after the other for a long time, the wind whistling past their ears and the surrounding scenery rushing past.

After passing two majestic mountains shrouded in mist, the scenery underfoot gradually changed from rolling hills to well-arranged suburban houses.

After speeding for another half hour, they finally landed slowly in a secluded place.

This is a suburban villa within the jurisdiction of Rongjing City, far from the hustle and bustle of the main city. Surrounded by lush trees, it is a quiet and secluded place with very few pedestrians.

In this tranquil setting, a simple and elegant mansion with towering walls stands quietly.

The upturned eaves are hidden among the green trees, and the courtyard gate is tightly closed. It looks ostentatious, but it also exudes a solemnity that makes it difficult to approach.

After landing, Rong Huaijin did not pause at all. He raised his hand and knocked lightly on the courtyard gate twice. Hearing movement inside, the gate was soon opened by a servant.

"Third Master is back?"

"Hmm, where is Madam?"

"Madam is having dinner with the young master."

After a casual exchange with the gatekeeper, Rong Huaijin strode inside, and the courtyard gate was immediately and slowly closed, completely blocking the outside world's view.

lady?

son?

Rong Xuanci concealed himself behind an ancient tree beside the courtyard wall, his eyes fixed on the tightly closed gate. Hearing the conversation between the gatekeeper and Rong Huaijin, a hint of astonishment flashed in his eyes.

My third uncle got married?

And she even has a child?!

But why would he keep it a secret from the clan? Could it really be...?

Just as Rong Xuanci was about to climb over the wall and sneak in, a hand suddenly patted his shoulder gently from behind.

He was suddenly startled and turned around swiftly, his palm already gathering offensive power. However, when he saw the person behind him, his aura instantly dissipated.

"Yu'er, when...when did you catch up?"

Rong Xuanci then noticed that compared to their last meeting, his sister's aura seemed to have become stronger.

Or perhaps, he was too focused on tracking Rong Huaijin, only staring at the figure in front of him, and did not notice at all that a little tail was following him.

After a brief moment of astonishment, a hint of joy gradually welled up in Rong Xuanci's eyes, and a smile unconsciously appeared on his lips.

It seems that his sister's strength is no less than his, the patriarch of the Rong clan, and her ability to conceal her aura is far beyond that of ordinary people.

He looked behind Mo Sangyu, scanned the surrounding open woodland, and frowned slightly when he didn't see Feng Xingyu and Yun Yihe.

"Where are the two of them? Why aren't they with you?"

They're all busy.

Mo Sangyu casually replied, her gaze immediately falling on the distant mansion gate: "This mansion is surrounded by array formations. Is it possible to break them without being detected?"

"How could they leave you all alone..."

Rong Xuanci swallowed the second half of his sentence.

Ok.

With his sister's abilities, there's really nothing to worry about.

"I'll give it a try," Rong Xuanci said.

Mo Sangyu hadn't really studied formations before; the first time she encountered them was through the defensive restrictions Yunfeng taught Yin Yue.

However, since returning to my own body, many things I didn't understand before seem to be slowly awakening to me.

For example, she also possesses the Rong Clan's offensive abilities, and her strength in this area is not low.

However, she had never tried it.

Even if she hadn't studied these restrictions, barriers, formations, and enchantments before, once she came into contact with them, information about these things would naturally come to her mind.

Rong Xuanci went over and tried it, but ultimately shook his head: "Breaking it isn't difficult, but it's almost impossible to avoid being detected by the people inside."

"So, what if we don't break through the barrier and just go in like this?"

"How about we wait for them to come back and do it together?"

"The truth is within reach."

Mo Sangyu shook her head: "There's no reason to wait."

We can't wait any longer.

As long as it can be confirmed that the "madam" Rong Huaijin mentioned is not her mother-in-law, it doesn't matter even if it's discovered.

"Okay, brother will listen to you."

Mo Sangyu nodded, his gaze slightly narrowed.

A wisp of dark blue spiritual energy quietly condensed on his fingers, gentle yet with extremely strong penetrating power, and slowly covered the array in front of him.

She did not use brute force, but simply followed the patterns of the formation, allowing her aura to merge with the spiritual energy of the forest, as if it were a natural aura that had always existed there.

Rong Xuanci watched from the side, his eyes filled with surprise.

He had studied various formations for many years, but he had never seen such an easy way to break the formation, bypassing the core of the formation's defenses without lifting a finger.

In the blink of an eye, the invisible array barrier in front of them cracked open, creating a gap just wide enough for one person to pass through, without causing the slightest disturbance.

"Walk."

Mo Sangyu spoke softly, her figure flashing as she passed through the gap first, followed closely by Rong Xuanci. The two landed silently and stepped directly into the courtyard of the mansion.

No one inside was alerted.

Rong Xuanci gave Mo Sangyu a thumbs-up, silently praising, "Amazing."

Mo Sangyu smiled slightly but didn't say anything.

She discreetly surveyed the layout of the mansion.

The path is paved with bluestone, and elegant orchids are planted on both sides, making it extremely refined.

Deep within the courtyard, the soft, babbling voices of children and the gentle whispers of women mingled with the light clinking of bowls and chopsticks, creating a particularly warm and inviting atmosphere.

Unable to remain hidden, Rong Xuanci had no choice but to follow in secret.

Mo Sangyu, however, went straight inside.

There were few servants in the mansion, and the entire courtyard was very quiet except for the voices of women and children.

Following the sound, she went around to the porch of the main house and peered inside through the gaps in the window lattice.

The interior is simply and warmly furnished, without any luxurious decorations, but it exudes a sense of everyday life.

Rong Huaijin shed his usual aloofness and coldness, and the gloom in his eyes faded somewhat. He sat at the table with a peaceful expression.

Opposite him sat a woman dressed in a plain-colored dress, with gentle features and a quiet demeanor. She was carefully feeding the child in her arms with a small spoon, her every move gentle, yet her appearance was completely unfamiliar.

It's not Yun Wangshu.

The child was only two or three years old, wearing a soft, light-colored outfit. He had a round, chubby face, clear, bright eyes, and a soft, cuddly appearance that made him very cute.

Perhaps because she is still young and her features have not yet fully developed, it is not immediately clear whether she resembles Rong Huaijin.

The scene before us, a peaceful and idyllic family of three, is so heartwarming that one hesitates to disturb it.

Mo Sangyu couldn't tell whether she felt relieved or overwhelmed with disappointment.

If it's not Yun Wangshu, then it means that Rong Huaijin hasn't restricted her freedom or even imprisoned her all these years. But if that's the case...

The trail is probably going to go cold again.

Could it be that she is not in the Cangxuan Realm?

Rong Xuanci was also observing the scene before him, and felt that his third uncle looked very unfamiliar at this moment.

There seems to be nothing wrong with this woman, so why does Uncle San not want to marry her openly into the Rong family, but instead want to keep her outside?

If the elders of the Rong clan were to learn that any member of the Rong clan's bloodline had been left outside, even if it was only a collateral branch, it would be absolutely forbidden.

Third Uncle should be well aware of this.

Rong Xuanci's eyes flickered slightly, and Mo Sangyu glanced in his direction, vaguely guessing his thoughts.

He wanted to...

Yeah.

Sometimes, what you see with your own eyes is not necessarily the truth, and you shouldn't easily believe what you see.

Further investigation is needed.

The brother and sister understood each other's thoughts almost without exchanging words.

They stayed there all day, waiting for Feng Xingyu while looking for an opportunity to get close to the child.

Rong Huaijin was always by the child's side, making it really difficult for her to do anything.

As night fell, Mo Sangyu sensed Feng Xingyu's presence and went out ahead of time to wait for him outside the mansion gate.

With Mo Sangyu as her human-shaped location, Feng Xingyu appeared beside her the next second.

"Ayu..."

Feng Xingyu's seemingly indifferent and calm expression actually concealed a hint of tension.

Mo Sangyu knew he wanted to ask if he had seen his mother.

"no."

She gently shook her head: "The woman inside is not Mother."

Upon hearing this, Feng Xingyu's expression remained exactly the same as before.

I don't know whether to be happy or disappointed.

If Mother is not here, then where did she go?

Is she... really still alive?

"Don't rush. Third Master Rong and that woman have a son. My brother wants to find out if the child is of Rong blood."

"How do I check?"

"There are two methods. The first is to steal the child. The Rong clan's ancestral hall can naturally verify his identity. However, since Third Master Rong is not leaving, this method is unlikely to succeed unless we simply rob him."

"And the second one?"

After asking the question, Feng Xingyu thought of an answer: "Draw blood?"

"That's right."

Mo Sangyu said, "The Blood Lamp can not only prove the lineage of the direct descendants, but also the bloodlines of other branches of the Rong clan. If he is not of Rong clan blood..."
