31: The Empress is furious

It was simply too shocking.

Could the other party be the Son of the Emperor?

An absurd thought arose in the old woman's heart.

The sects that were leaving were also startled by that one word, "Young Master."

That was a Divine Beast Qingluan in the Sage Realm!

An adult Divine Beast.

"Let's go! Time to go home."

Qin Feng smiled calmly and said.

"Understood, Young Master!"

The Divine Beast Qingluan responded.

Then, its body flashed, transforming into a gigantic Divine Beast Qingluan.

Brilliant colors shimmered, and runes flowed across each cyan feather.

It was dazzling to the extreme.

At the same time, Hui Lan took Qin Feng, flickered, and arrived on the back of the Divine Beast Qingluan.

"We're off...!"

The Divine Beast Qingluan gave a heads-up, then transformed into a streak of white light, disappearing from sight amidst the shocked gazes of the crowd.

"What the...!"

"A Divine Beast Qingluan as a mount; what on earth is this kid's background?"

"That is so cool!"

Countless people exclaimed in awe.

On the steps of the Qingyun Sect, only one person was dumbfounded.

"My son, Mo Fan, has the potential of an Emperor!"

"Impossible, impossible!"

"My Qingyun Sect is the future number one World Sect."

Mo Zihan mumbled as if he had lost his mind.

At this moment, he felt as if the sky had collapsed.

His middle-aged face instantly aged by dozens of years.

Wrinkles suddenly appeared.

His eyes lost their color, and he no longer stood with his previous arrogance.

"My son... Mo Fan has the potential of an Emperor!"

"My son...!"

"Pfft...!"

Mo Zihan's voice trembled, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

As he spoke, his voice grew weaker and weaker, and his legs trembled as he slumped onto the steps.

...

The Ancient Clan, the Qin Family.

The Qin Family Forbidden Land.

The Qingqiu Empress suddenly opened her eyes.

She sensed that the precious garment she had personally sewn was emitting intense fluctuations.

The location of the fluctuations was in the direction of the Canglan Province.

This left her feeling uneasy, and she immediately exited her Cultivate state, her face turning slightly pale.

"Could something have happened to little Feng!"

"Canglan Province!"

"No, I must go there myself."

The Qingqiu Empress Ye Xinyu still could not rest easy, so she stood up straight with a "whoosh."

Then, terrifying energy overflowed from her body, and the countless Formation arrays above the Forbidden Ground temporarily stopped operating because of this energy.

The next second.

The Qingqiu Empress Ye Xinyu stepped out of the Bulao State.

She arrived directly in the next state.

Her speed was hundreds of times faster than the Divine Beast Qingluan.

A mount was merely a symbol.

An Emperor's speed was not something a mere Divine Beast Qingluan could compare to.

About half a day later.

The Qingqiu Empress Ye Xinyu arrived at the edge of the Canglan Province.

At the same time, she sensed little Feng's energy, as well as the mount Divine Beast Qingluan and the maid Hui Lan.

The two people and one Divine Beast were traveling at high speed.

They were chatting and laughing, enjoying themselves.

There was no danger.

Suddenly, Qin Feng, who was on the back of the Divine Beast Qingluan, twitched the corner of his eye, and his smile gradually faded.

The Divine Beast Qingluan also swayed in mid-air, trembling uncontrollably.

"Greetings, Empress."

Hui Lan was the first to react, kneeling in mid-air.

Her face was somewhat pale, and she tried to keep her head buried low.

They had been gone for over three years, and the Empress had even come out personally to search for them.

They were definitely in for it.

"Greetings, Empress."

The usually mischievous Qingqing was now also like a well-behaved baby, kneeling sincerely.

Although it was not in human form, its claws naturally bent in the air.

"Mother, why are you here?"

Qin Feng grinned.

"Are you alright! Son!"

The Qingqiu Empress Ye Xinyu ignored Hui Lan and the Divine Beast Qingluan, asking Qin Feng with concern.

Her son had grown quite a bit taller, and his strength had also increased to the Inscription Realm.

His Realm had not fallen behind.

She just didn't know if it had been forcefully elevated.

"I... I'm fine!"

Qin Feng replied.

"It's good that you're fine, it's good that you're fine."

Ye Xinyu breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, the look of tension gradually disappeared.

She said, "If you're fine, why aren't you hurrying home? Just wait and see how I deal with you."

"Hui Lan, Qingqing, the child is ignorant, are you both ignorant too?"

"Go back and be confined!"

After saying this, the Qingqiu Empress Ye Xinyu transformed into a cyan rainbow and disappeared.

Hui Lan and Qingqing were pale and looked helpless.

What was bound to come had finally arrived.

Qingqing said, "We're doomed, confinement again."

"Young Master, you have to stand up for us!"

"You were the one who dragged us out."

"Wuwuwu...!"

The dignified Divine Beast Qingluan, at this moment, began to fake crying.

"Young Master..."

Hui Lan wanted to say something, but hesitated.

Qin Feng knew that everything was his fault.

However, his mother's tone just now had been extremely firm.

Wanting to help them would be difficult!

"Don't worry, I'll find a way."

Qin Feng spoke, comforting them.

In reality, he himself was in a precarious position; he wouldn't escape a good beating upon returning.

The two people and one Divine Beast lost the joy they had just felt in an instant.

Only the sound of the Divine Beast Qingluan constantly flapping its wings whistled in the air.

Hui Lan was more refined; she wanted to ask the Young Master to intercede, but couldn't bring herself to speak.

One month later.

They arrived at the Bulao State.

The Qin Family Forbidden Land.

Looking from afar, the Qin Family was covered by countless Formation arrays, with beautiful mountains and rivers all contained within.

Ordinary people could not enter.

Only a Qin Family token could open the Formation arrays and allow entry.

Hui Lan waved her hand casually.

A token outlined mysterious runes, intertwining with the Formation arrays.

A moment later, the Formation arrays opened a gap.

Then, the Divine Beast Qingluan carried the two, flickered, and entered the Qin Family.

The first thing they did was go to the Qin Family Forbidden Land.

Atop a beautiful mountain in the Forbidden Ground, a Mansion stood proudly.

In front of the Mansion, the Qingqiu Empress stood with her hands behind her back, watching the return of the two people and the Divine Beast.

"Greetings, Empress."

The Divine Beast Qingluan and Hui Lan knelt simultaneously.

"Mother!"

Qin Feng also called out.

"Hmm!"

Ye Xinyu nodded, expressionless.

"It's been three years, and you finally know to come back."

"If I hadn't gone out to look for you, were you planning on never coming back?"

His mother's voice carried a hint of anger.

Hui Lan and Qingqing were as silent as cicadas in winter, their breathing becoming rapid.

Kneeling on both knees, they trembled continuously.

Except for Qin Feng, both of them were covered by a thin layer of divine aura, under heavy pressure.

"The two of you, go and be confined!"

"The term is five years!"

The Qingqiu Empress swept her gaze over the two women and said indifferently.

"Empress, this little one was wrong."

"Please spare me!"

Qingqing's pretty face changed drastically, and she hurriedly begged for mercy.

Hui Lan gritted her teeth and replied, "Yes, Empress."

"Wait."

Qin Feng hesitated repeatedly, but still stood out.

"Mother, the two of them only accompanied me out to protect me."

"Along the way, I relied on Hui Lan and Qingqing."

"Mother, calm your anger."

After speaking, Qin Feng stepped forward quickly, squeezing out a brilliant smile.

Seeing the Young Master help, Qingqing's expression softened a little.

The pressure on Hui Lan also gradually decreased.

"Since that's the case, then I will punish you instead!"

The power of the pressure shifted onto Qin Feng.

Instantly, Qin Feng's body staggered, and his whole body was bound by a force, unable to move.

"The two of you, withdraw first. Next time you dare to act recklessly, no one's intercession will be of any use."

The voice of the Empress Ye Xinyu softened quite a bit.

Qingqing: "Empress, the Young Master is still young, please punish me instead!"

Hui Lan: "Hui Lan is willing to accept punishment; it is my fault, please do not punish the Young Master, okay?"

How could the two women withdraw when the Young Master was taking the punishment for them?

"Are you putting on a show for me?"

"Or did you discuss this strategy on the way?"

The Qingqiu Empress Ye Xinyu pursed her lips and smiled.

This smile was stunningly beautiful, yet domineering and peerless.
