The Anarchic Consort (Book 1)

236-240

The old man's voice was hoarse: "Helian Guang Yao, their son-in-law who married into the Helian family."

Helian Wei Wei's fingers tightened. She had not expected such an answer. She looked at her partner who stood by her side bewildered. Her partner acted as if he had not heard what the old man said. His face was still indifferent and evil and showed no emotions.

"At that time, someone in Helian family had passed away, Helian Guang Yao invited old monk to the Defence Division home under the pretense of praying for his wife. it was a front for old monk to make the second prophecy."

After the old man said this, Helian Wei Wei immediately thought of the scene that made her uncomfortable. When her mother died, Helian Guang Yao had not even arranged for a decent coffin. He had told the servants to wrap her body up in some rags and left her inside the inner hall. He had played the part of the grieving husband perfectly to keep up appearances. However, her mother's body was not yet cold and he had brought home Su Yan Mo. Although Helian Wei Wei had not experienced it, but the pain that was left in her body was enough to make her clench her fists: " Why did it have to be in the Defence Division house?"

"There are two places in the Capital where the spiritual energy is the strongest, the palace and Defence Division home. It is too difficult to enter the palace. Besides, at that time the Grand Emperor was still on the throne. The four elders were afraid of his knowledge in this matter." The old man's voice lowered: "Maybe they had planned it from the beginning, but something went wrong along the way."

Helian Wei Wei's eyes squinted: " What went wrong?"

"The people they sent were not reliable." The old man said slowly: "Everyone has some degree of selfishness, especially when it came to their own daughter. The Defence Division family had three daughters of similar age. The youngest was years younger, but the other two were only a few months difference in age. The prophecy said that in ten years, the Phoenix girl was to be reincarnated, and the destination was the Defence Division home.

Helian Wei Wei looked up and waited for the old man to reply.

"This was the last prophecy that caused old monk to be in harm's way. In order to convince the four elders that her biological daughter was the Phoenix girl, Madam Su of the Defence Division family sent many soldiers to assassinate old monk while I was still weak from seeing the prophecy." The old man paused. He raised his head suddenly: "In actual fact, there was another girl, the orthodox daughter of the Helian family, Helian Wei Wei, she is the real Phoenix girl!"

Bang!

Lightning flashed across the sky, the light fell onto the crystal clear eyes of Helian Wei Wei and reflected a cold gaze.

Baili Jiajue's lips curved into a smile, so this was why, no wonder...

He was not surprised that Helian Wei Wei was the Phoenix girl.

However, the methods of the elders was just disgusting.

The old man did not know that one of the two people who entered the cave was Helian Wei Wei. He lowered his eyes, his cheeks sunken: "Old Monk has only done one wrong thing in his life, I revealed the celestial secret. The Phoenix girl has already been reincarnated. Old monk wishes that you young girl will look for her and tell her about her past. All these years old monk has wondered why the elders wanted the Phoenix girl. Now old monk understands. They don't just want the Phoenix girl, they are dissatisfied with their present power. In order to resist the royal family, they have looked for every opportunity. If it was just an ordinary power struggle, that was fine. But old monk discovered a secret about them when I was in the Capital. This secret has made it difficult for old monk to relive. Without permission, they slaughtered many sacred animals, as if they had something planned. As a buddhist, old monk really worries about the future of the world if it were to fall into the hands of such people. That is why I ask you to tell the Phoenix girl about this, so that she will not become their pawn."
