Emperor Phoenix World

Yezheng gazed at Yemo, as if attempting to see through her, but he soon realized that he couldn’t decipher the seven-year-old girl standing before him.

“There’s one more thing I forgot to mention,” Yemo’s smile vanished instantly as she stared at Yezheng. “I don’t treat others as indifferently as I do with you. I simply despise you. I’ve been exiled because you deemed me trash. Now that I’ve returned, you suddenly find a use for me. From the age of three to seven, four years passed without a single letter from you to the collateral branch. But now that you need me, you think you can use me. Well, you’ve seen me, but it won’t be easy to manipulate me.”

Yezheng was rattled. He had wondered if this was really just a child.

Indeed, he had brought Ye Mo back because he needed her for something important. As Yemo stated, she wasn’t easily controllable now.

Nevertheless, the emperor had been informed of everything, and they only needed to wait for the forthcoming sacrificial ceremony in a month.

It might not be easy to control her, but they had no other choice.

With these thoughts in mind, Yezheng glanced in the direction Yemo had gone before leaving Yuhe Courtyard.

In the front hall, Yemo’s cold eyes surveyed the maids. She parted her lips slightly and issued an order, “Dispose of all the items used by Yeyan and incinerate them. Then, rearrange some things. You will assist Yiluo in doing this, while Yilin will remain in the house.”

“Yes,” Yiluo replied, and she left the room accompanied by the other maids.

Once Yiluo had departed, Yemo stood up and walked over to Yilin’s side. She placed her fingers on Yilin’s pulse and furrowed her brow slightly.

“Miss,” Yilin looked at Ye Mo beside her and smiled weakly, “I’m fine.”

“You had an attack just now,” Ye Mo insisted, taking a pill from her Phoenix Ring and handing it to Yilin. “Take this. Now that I’m back in the Imperial Capital, I’ll find a way to completely cure your illness. There should be the medicinal ingredients I need in the Sun and Moon Mountains of the Imperial Capital. Don’t worry, I promise to cure you no matter the cost.”

Yilin accepted the pill from Yemo and swallowed it. Tears welled up in the corners of her eyes.

See, her lady was truly a gentle soul. She and Yiluo had lived on the streets from a young age, and later, she fell ill with a strange disease. Yiluo had taken her to seek medical help everywhere, but no one had been willing to assist them.

When she was twelve, Yiluo and she had hugged each other tightly in a snowstorm. She had been coughing up blood constantly and was barely holding on.

The snow fell heavily, and that’s when the young lady had appeared. She hadn’t said much, only that she would save her and had asked if they were willing to follow her.

Despite being just five-year-old children, they felt something inexplicable in those black and white eyes, and they had nodded.

From that moment, they had followed the lady’s side. Although the young lady hadn’t completely cured her disease, she had rescued her from the brink of death, and her health had continued to improve. The young lady had taught them how to cultivate and martial arts, leading to their current achievements in just two years.
