Meanwhile, a woman landed quite a distance from the Feng Clan, and her eyes drifted toward the clan. "Sigh, how should I look for that guy called Ling Yun? Should I go there and ask Feng Ruxue in person?"
The woman was none other than Xuanyuan Xiang'er, who was assigned by Xuanyuan Xue'er to follow and monitor Ling Yun, she then raised her eyebrows as she saw another woman sitting on top of the tree, and she also kept looking at the Feng Clan. "What is that woman doing here? As I recall, she was a former disciple of the Lotus Sect and Xue Xing's direct disciple."
Sensing her gaze, Wen Qing turned to Xuanyuan Xiang'er, and she was surprised to see the symbol on her dress. 'Why is the woman from the Xuanyuan Clan in this city? Could it be that Xuanyuan Xue'er ordered her to watch over the Feng Clan? But that's impossible, especially since the three ancient clans have never interfered with each other, so what is her purpose for coming here?'
Seeing Wen Qing's suspicious expression towards her, Xuanyuan Xiang'er immediately averted her eyes, but she did not leave the place and kept watching the Feng Clan, thinking of ways to find Ling Yun.
On the other hand, Wen Qing also thought for some time before she sent a sound transmission to Huo Ye, Long Qiu, and Lei Lin, informing them of Xuanyuan Xiang'er's presence.
Since Feng Ruxue was not in the clan, the three young women immediately went to see Feng Ling'er and told her about the news, and she then informed the two ancestors of the Feng Clan.

After that, Feng Bing'er and Feng Yujie immediately appeared before Xuanyuan Xiang'er, startling her.
'Shit! Why are these two ancestors in this city? As I recall, they have lived in solitude in the volcano for a long time.' Xuanyuan Xiang'er grumbled in her heart, and she then greeted them respectfully. "Greetings, Seniors."
"What are you doing in this town? And why are you keeping an eye on our clan?" Feng Bing'er asked with a raised eyebrow.
Feng Yujie also spoke to her. "You better not lie to us, or else we'll capture you right now; not even Xuanyuan Xue'er can free you from us."
Xuanyuan Xiang'er took a deep breath, was frightened by her threat, and answered her. "Honestly, Big Sis Xue'er sent me to follow and monitor the man named Ling Yun. Since he is Madam Feng's husband, I came to this city."
The two women were surprised to hear that, but Feng Bing'er remembered Ling Yun's black dragon form, and she was sure that Xuanyuan Xue'er suspected him of possessing dark qi.
Before Feng Yujie could ask Xuanyuan Xiang'er, Feng Bing'er immediately stopped her little sister by shaking her head, and she then said. "I understand Xue'er's purpose in sending you here, and I won't forbid you from carrying out your task, but I won't remain silent if you and the Xuanyuan Clan find trouble with Ling Yun."
"I understand, Senior." Xuanyuan Xiang'er breathed a sigh of relief after the two women left; she then glanced at Wen Qing and cursed inwardly. 'Tch! It must be that damn woman who reported my presence to them.'

Meanwhile, another woman was also looking at the Feng Clan, and she had actually arrived a while ago. However, when she saw Feng Bing'er and Feng Yujie appear before Xuanyuan Xiang'er, she immediately hid to avoid them.
The woman was none other than Lu Wan'er, she had purposely gone to Feng City after the fox-masked woman ordered her to investigate Ling Yun, especially since he was Feng Ruxue's husband, so the easiest way to find her was by spying on the Feng Clan.
However, Lu Wan'er did not expect that Xuanyuan Xue'er would also send someone to investigate Ling Yun, but Xuanyuan Xiang'er was too stupid in her eyes, for her presence lured out the Feng Clan Ancestors.
"I don't understand why Xuanyuan Xue'er sent such an incompetent woman." Lu Wan'er muttered as she shook her head. "It seems that man isn't in this town right now, so I'll go to the inn and wait for him to appear, or those old monsters will notice my presence."
After that, Lu Wan'er turned around, went to one of the town's inns, and chose a room that she could use to monitor the Feng Clan without arousing their suspicions.

"Who's that woman, Aunt?" Feng Ling'er asked Feng Bing'er.
Feng Bing'er sighed and replied. "Her name is Xuanyuan Xiang'er, and she is one of Xuanyuan Xue'er's confidants."
Long Qiu frowned upon hearing that. "Aunt Bing'er, you should capture that woman; she is a traitor from the Xuanyuan Clan."
"Hmm?" Feng Bing'er turned to her with a raised eyebrow.
Long Qiu then explained to her. "Did Big Sis Ruxue not explain it to you? She, He Yi, Feng Hao, and Feng Xiyun conspired with the Mo Clan."
"I see." Feng Bing'er sighed and said to her. "Since that woman is a traitor, I think Xuanyuan Xue'er already knew about it, and that's why she sent her to follow Ling Yun."
Feng Yujie nodded in agreement with her big sister. "Big Sis is right, I'm sure Xuanyuan Xue'er isn't stupid, and she must have planned something for that woman, or else she wouldn't have sent such a foolish woman here."
"So are you two going to let her follow Ling Yun, Senior?" Huo Ye asked in confusion.
As for Lei Lin, she felt that there was no need to worry about Ling Yun, especially since Ling Xi had always been by his side, so no one would be able to harm him.
"Just let her do her job." Feng Bing'er answered as she nodded. "I'm sure Xuanyuan Xue'er won't act rashly to attack Ling Yun, especially since he hasn't done anything bad in this place. Moreover, with his relationship with this clan and the Lotus Sect, she will think twice about going into trouble with him."
Huo Ye nodded in understanding. "Well, you are absolutely right, Senior."
"Anyway, why doesn't that woman still want to come here?" Feng Yujie asked as she turned toward Wen Qing.
The three women laughed at her question, and Lei Lin answered her. "Leave Wen Qing alone, she felt embarrassed to meet us, so she chose to wait for Ling Yun there."
After hearing that, Feng Yujie shook her head; she and Feng Bing'er left them and returned to the phoenix altar to cultivate.
Feng Ling'er then asked the three women. "Are you guys still going to wait for Ling Yun to come back here?"
"Yes." The three women answered simultaneously.

Meanwhile, Long Wei arrived at a city. Since the Liang and Sun Clans lived in the same town, he asked their Patriarch to gather in one place and immediately went to meet them.
Before long, Long Wei was already sitting on the seat of the head of one of the clans, looking thoughtfully at the two men sitting on the side, and informed them of his decision. "Liang Kuang! Sun Jian! From now on, I have decided to stop supporting the clans of you two."
"What?" They screamed in shock after hearing that.
Liang Kuang asked him directly. "Patriarch Long, why did you suddenly decide on such a thing? Our clans have been on good terms for a long time, and we have never brought trouble to the Long Clan."
"Please tell us the reason, Patriarch Long." Although he was angry with Long Wei's decision, he still spoke respectfully, for he could kill him easily, and it would bring disaster to his Sun Clan.
Long Wei sighed and answered them. "You two must know Qiu'er's character, right? I'm doing this for my daughter's future."
"Hmm? Liang Kuang and Sun Jian raised their eyebrows upon hearing that. They naturally knew about Long Qiu, and Long Wei greatly cherished his eldest daughter. However, they couldn't believe that he would decide on such a thing just for the sake of their daughter, and they felt there was another reason behind it.
Seeing their reactions, Long Wei shook his head and spoke again. "You two may not believe me, but I made this decision for my daughter's sake and no other reason."
After saying that, Long Wei immediately took out his device, opened a portal, and disappeared from their sight.
"Damn it!" Liang Kuang immediately cursed and asked Sun Jian. "Do you think his words are true?"
"I don't believe his words at all." Sun Jian shook his head at him. "I don't know why Long Wei decided like that, but we can't know the truth."
Liang Kuang sighed heavily and spoke disappointedly. "Since Long Wei stopped supporting us, our clan will no longer have any chance of competing with the Zhang and Nangong Clans for the Upper Clan's position."
"You're right; we can stop hoping for that position." Sun Jian also spoke in disappointment, for he really hoped to raise his clan's status, but his hopes were dashed by Long Wei's decision. "Will you attend the meeting with those clans in two days?"
"Yes." Liang Kuang nodded to him. "Long Wei's decision might have something to do with it, so it would be better for us to still attend the meeting, and we might be able to find out the truth at the meeting.
Sun Jian could only nod to him. "All right, we will attend the meeting later."
