“We, the five great clans, despise relying on crooked methods the most. You can…” Mr. Li was about to reprimand her when Kong Rui stopped him.

“I was just poisoned two days ago and obtained an opportunity on the way to finding the antidote!” Kong Rui said.

“Poisoned?” Mr. Li was even more confused. “How did you get poisoned?”

Kong Rui sneered. Li Ling’s status in the Li family was really pitiful. She had been in so much pain for two days, but her father didn’t know at all!

Kong Rui couldn’t be bothered to deal with him anymore and said, “I’m tired. I’ll go back and rest first!”

With that, Kong Rui turned and left.

“You!” Mr. Li was furious that his illegitimate daughter had embarrassed herself in front of outsiders.

“You unfilial child! Go back and copy the family teachings a hundred times!” Mr. Li shouted at Kong Rui’s back.

Li Han leaned forward and looked at Mr. Li with tears in her eyes. She secretly cursed Li Ling for being an idiot. How dare she fight with the legitimate daughter?!

But Mr. Li was already enraged.

He glared at Li Han, who was leaning towards him. “You go back and copy the family teachings too! You’re not allowed to go out until you finish!”

These insensible girls were always causing him trouble!

They disregarded how distinguished the current guest was. How embarrassing!

Li Han looked at Mr. Li in disbelief. The tears in her eyes finally fell.

It was late at night, and Kong Rui had rested enough. Her spirit beast, the griffin, was sleeping steadily beside her and snoring contentedly.

Kong Rui smoothed its fur to let it sleep more comfortably. “Little Lion, you must be exhausted after staying in the storage ring for a day!”

“Don’t worry, I’ll definitely find a more comfortable place for you to rest! But it’ll still be hard on you!” Kong Rui gently stroked her furry head.

It was as if the Little Lion had heard her in its sleep. It rubbed its head against her hand and whimpered before falling back into a deep sleep.

After confirming that the Little Lion was fine, Kong Rui placed it in her storage ring again.

Tonight, she had more important things to do!

Kong Rui took out the night suit from her storage ring. This wasn’t an ordinary night suit. It had the function of invisibility and resistance. It could also disguise a person’s physique. This was made for her personally by the number one tailor in the world, Aunt Li.

Coupled with Kong Rui’s magical disguise technique, by the time she was done, she already looked like a completely different person.

To avoid being discovered, Kong Rui sneaked into the palace at night.

However, after circling the palace, Kong Rui didn’t sense the aura of the little phoenix.

“Could it be that the little phoenix is not in the palace?” Kong Rui knew that the queen was cunning. It was possible that she had hidden the little phoenix elsewhere.

As the queen’s maiden family, the Li family showed no signs of the little phoenix. Could it be…

Kong Rui searched through the homes of the families on the queen’s side according to her memory, but she couldn’t find any trace of the little phoenix.

She felt indignant, but she had no clue at all.

Just as she was hesitating about whether to return to the Li family first, she suddenly remembered that the head of the five major clans was the Nie family, the princess’ future in-laws!

With the Nie family’s strength, it wasn’t impossible for them to hide the little phoenix!

Kong Rui made a prompt decision and ran towards the Nie family’s residence.

As soon as she approached the Nie family’s residence, Kong Rui felt a powerful pressure approaching her.

This was different from the other families’ residences. Even the palace had never given her such a strong sense of deterrence.

Kong Rui immediately hesitated. “There must be experts watching over the Nie family’s residence. Won’t it be risky for me to go?”

As Kong Rui was thinking, she suddenly felt some movement in the storage ring.

She secretly gritted her teeth, opened her storage ring, and took out an artifact that looked like an oil-paper umbrella made of purple-gold steel.

This was given to Kong Rui by Lu Yang, the forger who disliked talking to people in the Demon Abyss.

If not for Kong Niang’s explanation, Kong Rui wouldn’t have known that this Yin-Yang Umbrella could unleash different powers according to the user’s level.

Not only could it conceal the spiritual power fluctuations on Kong Rui’s body, allowing her to hide herself even more thoroughly, but it could also resist at least three levels of pressure for her.

Kong Rui opened the Yin-Yang Umbrella and landed in the Nie family’s courtyard with a few leaps.
