Chapter 194: Who’s The Real Female Phoenix

Translator: Misty Cloud Editor: Misty Cloud

Thinking up to this point, Helian Wei Wei’s fingers streaked across the calluses on her fingertips. Facing Su Yan Mo’s slightly stiff face, she slowly smiled.

Even though hatred filled Su Yan Mo’s heart, she could only suppress it and push up the corners of her mouth slightly. Wait until this incident quietly passed. Fortunately, Retired Emperor accepted her excuse. No matter how bad things looked now, her beloved daughter was still the one everyone supported, and the genius most likely to become Third Prince’s Consort.

She’s convinced that Retired Emperor also had apprehensions regarding this point.

Within Dragon War Empire, it didn’t matter how intelligent a person was, only when they possessed a martial qi cultivation surpassing others, would their words matter.

That little vile spawn, sooner or later, would repay with interest for all that transpired here today!

She wasn’t anxious.

Su Yan Mo looked down as she moved the Buddhist beads in her hand and followed the novice monk to the most remote courtyard in the temple.

Generally speaking, women weren’t permitted to stay overnight in a temple, the concern was that it’d destroy the purity within the temple.

However, Hidden Spirit Temple was different from others because of its reputation as the imperial family’s preferred temple. That’s why every year, people who came to pray were basically either from the imperial family or had powerful connections. Included among these were many womenfolk for whom it’d be dangerous to go down the mountain at night, so one remote courtyard was reserved to house the women.

It’s just that this courtyard looked too bleak, the interior decor was awfully simple, just like a very cold, cold palace.

The only thing that’s slightly tolerable was that the room didn’t have any unusual smells.

However, this kind of simplicity was unbearable for Su Yan Mo. Since childhood till now, she’d been a golden branch treasured in the palm of a hand. Even after she’d snatched Helian Guang Yao, she’d still been pampered and respected. Even within the circles of influential people, who among those high officials and nobles didn’t fawn on her.

Now, she’s made to live in this kind of place even inferior to a firewood house. The hatred that Su Yan Mo had just suppressed all instantaneously bubbled up without exception!

Helian Jiao Er came along with her mother. After she saw that house, she unconsciously used her handkerchief to cover her mouth and nose as she reached out to pull on Su Yan Mo’s sleeves. “Mother, let’s go look for grandfather, have him immediately enter the palace to hand over the accounts book! How could a person live in this kind of house! This won’t do, Mother, you can’t live here!”

“If I don’t live here, then you’ll have to live here.” Madam Su glanced at her, after that she pulled away her hand, and lightly closed the wood door, before maliciousness from the depths of her eyes leaked out. “Right now, your grandfather has been thinking of a way to get his hands on military power. He needs to coax and deceive the emperor. No mistakes are allowed. To have him take out the accounts book over such a small matter, Retired Emperor won’t be pleased.”

Helian Jiao Er clenched both hands tightly. “Then what’s to be done? Is it possible that Mother truly wants to stay here for the next month!”

“Mother can only find someway to leave here within a month’s time, in your place.”

Madam Su looked at her, a slight chill in her eyes. “How many times have I said, no matter what happens, in front of other people, you must appear wronged to the end and can not so easily leak out your true nature. You’ve done a good job of this for so many years, Mother hasn’t taught you anything more. However, today, you almost made Mother unable to stay on the stage!”

Helian Jiao Er looked down and bit on her lip. “Mother, I was wrong.” After speaking, she fiercely bit her teeth down. “It’s just that the little slut was too hateful, look at those words she spoke. They didn’t merely target daughter, they even targeted you, Mother. She put us on the spot in front of everybody. I won’t let this matter pass this way!”

“It’s indeed surprising that the little vile spawn can mature in this manner.” Su Yan Mo extended her hand and pat the back of Helian Jiao Er’s hand. “Don’t worry, her temper is so savage, she won’t end well. The martial qi competition is coming up. Your father should’ve already told you to concentrate and focus your attention on this. Jiao Er, you need to understand, in our Dragon War Empire, only family background and martial qi are most important. No matter how that little vile spawn struggles, she won’t be able to produce any fruits. Now that she’s been removed from the clan’s name list, it’s impossible for her to participate in any convention, unless she truly has some innate skill or ability. Yet you already saw, during the exam at the academy this time, she didn’t even dare to touch martial qi. It’s indeed astonishing that she could make armaments, however, as long as she doesn’t possess martial qi, then the things she made won’t receive the elders’ approval. Even if she’s Grandmaster Zi Zun’s sole official disciple, she still can only stare blankly at that pile of scrap iron, that’s her fate. That’s why, Jiao Er, you don’t need to dirty your own hand for the sake of this kind of little vile spawn. Wait until you excel at the martial qi competition, who knows where she’ll be. Do you understand what Mother’s saying?”

Helian Jiao Er nodded her head as her fingers clenched again. “Daughter understands everything that Mother’s said, however, how can daughter swallow this grievance. I really can’t choke down this anger! If the people at the capitol knew of this matter we don’t even know how they’ll point at us daughter and Mother.”

“That’s why you must win even more!”

Su Yan Mo looked into the distance, her tone of voice determined. “Your father already made connections with people at Tiny Pond Under Heaven. You just wait to bring the best armament on stage!”

After so many days now, Helian Jiao Er finally heard news that made her feel comfortable as she extended a hand to support Su Yan Mo’s arm. Her manner of speaking contained the hint of a spoiled child. “But I heard that recently, an unnamed beggar appeared within the capitol, rampant and difficult to deal with. Every influential family got in a fight with him. What should I do if I encounter him during the competition?”

“Why would you have to worry about this.” Su Yan Mo chuckled. “Jiao Er, you need to remember. You have the constitution of a phoenix in your body. Even the elders from the four great clans need to protect you. A small little beggar, your grandfather will find a way to dispose of for you.”

Once Helian Jiao Er thought of the matter of the phoenix, her face didn’t become happy at all, instead the light in her eyes sunk deeper as she dispiritedly whispered. “But at that year, I wasn’t the only one who was divined to be a phoenix. Didn’t Mother also hear that at that time, the godly monk said that I and that low life both were possibilities.”

“Jiao Er!” Su Yan Mo suddenly shouted out in a stern voice. Her grave expression was never seen before. “Never talk about this again in the future!”

Helian Jiao Er naturally also knew that she’d said the wrong words. In an instant, her complexion turned pale and she nervously looked back and forth.

Su Yan Mo breathed a long sigh and extended a hand to stroke her beloved daughter’s hair. “Right now, only the two of us are here, so there’s nothing to be anxious about, but who knows how the walls have ears, Jiao Er, remember, at the time, the godly monk said that the one who’s a reincarnation of the phoenix was you, and also can only be you! Understand?”

“I understand.” Helian Jiao Er’s head hung down as she became even more taciturn.

Su Yan Mo looked at the bamboo forest outside the window, and narrowed her eyes brimming with with insidiousness. It seemed that the little vile spawn really couldn’t be spared.....
