Feng Qingcheng only wished she had gone to the Willow Face Sect.
A few days ago, she had specially sent a message to Mei Ziling, detailing everything about Di Wenbin.
Mei Ziling and Di Wenbin had known each other since childhood, practically growing up together. How could she stand by and do nothing after such an incident?
If Feng Qingcheng had also appeared at the Willow Face Sect today, she might have been able to extract more useful information from Feng Ninghe.
Wang Junzhao pondered carefully and shook his head, "Feng Ninghe did not elaborate on the evidence she possessed. She only said the evidence was in her room and would be revealed at Sect Leader Di's birthday banquet."
Feng Qingcheng raised her delicate eyebrows, a flicker of light dancing in her eyes. Fine beads of sweat had unknowingly formed on her forehead. "This matter needs to be discussed with the Sect Leader. I wonder what his thoughts are. Where is the Sect Leader?"
In response to the inquiry, Wang Junzhao answered without hesitation, "Sect Leader Di is in the courtyard."
Just as she was about to get up and leave, Wang Junzhao quickly said, "Sister Qingcheng, why is your forehead sweating so much?"
Feng Qingcheng hurriedly took out a handkerchief and gently wiped the sweat from her forehead. "I practiced too hastily last night, and my body has been feeling rather hot, hence the sweating."
Not only her forehead, but her palms were also drenched in sweat.
Her clothes clung tightly to her back, making her extremely uncomfortable, but Feng Qingcheng could not afford to dwell on it.
In a month's time, Feng Ninghe would publicly reveal the evidence at Sect Leader Di's birthday banquet.
She could not just wait to be dealt with!
Her explanation did not arouse suspicion in Wang Junzhao, who nodded obediently. "Sister Qingcheng, you must take good care of yourself. I believe Senior Brother Di would not wish to see us injured."
Feng Qingcheng did not say much more and hurried towards Di Yang's courtyard.
In the courtyard.
Di Yang stood before a large tree, his head tilted slightly as he gazed at it, lost in thought.
"Sect Leader."
At that moment, a clear female voice from behind him broke Di Yang's reverie.
Feng Qingcheng stood quietly behind him, her exquisitely made-up face betraying an imperceptible burning in her eyes.
Di Yang turned around, looking at her. "Qingcheng, you're here."
Feng Qingcheng nodded slowly, her gentle voice laced with a hint of probing. "Sect Leader, what are you thinking about?"
Di Yang withdrew his gaze, his eyes fixed on the large tree before him. "This tree was planted by Wenbin when he was a child. Now, this tree has grown into a large tree, yet Wenbin has been separated from me by death."
His face was pale, and it was evident he had not been well these past few days.
Feng Qingcheng's eyes flickered, and she quickly stated the purpose of her visit. "Sect Leader, do you know that Feng Ninghe holds evidence and will reveal it at your birthday banquet?"
In response, Di Yang let out a muffled hum. "I will host a grand birthday banquet and invite all the major immortal sects. I want to see who it is that wants my son's life!"
Feng Qingcheng concealed her urgency. "Sect Leader, all the evidence points to Feng Ninghe. What useful evidence could she possibly present? In my opinion, she is merely stalling for time. Why don't we find an opportunity to slit her throat and end it all?"
As long as this wretched woman was dead, everything would be buried.
The knot in her heart could finally be untied.
Di Yang's expression turned cold, and he forced out a sentence. "Feng Ninghe is not a fool. If she dares to speak like this, she must have evidence. While I am eager, I want to give my son justice! I want everyone to see that those who dare to harm my son will face dire consequences!"
"But..."
Feng Qingcheng hesitated slightly and looked at him. "Feng Ninghe is cunning and deceitful. Perhaps this is a ploy to stall for time, waiting for us to shift our attention so she can escape."
Di Yang let out a muffled hum, dismissively. "If she has the audacity, I will join forces with all the major immortal sects to crusade against her! She dared to harm my son, and I will never let the mastermind escape justice!"
Looking at the man's resolute expression, her heart inexplicably filled with unease.
It felt as if a cold wind was blowing fiercely down her spine.
If the truth were revealed to the world, she would be condemned by everyone. She had to find a way...
Feng Qingcheng lowered her gaze and unhurriedly agreed. "Sect Leader is right. Anyone who dares to harm Junior Brother Di, I will be the first to not let them get away with it! I will wait and see what compelling evidence Feng Ninghe can produce!"

Western You Continent.
Inside a luxurious palace.
A young child was running and jumping around the vast palace.
She had two cute little pigtails tied on her head, and her bright eyes darted around.
Then, as if she had found something, she ran towards a white-haired old man. "Grandpa Luo!"
The childish female voice reached his ears. The old man's body jolted, and he quickly turned around.
Upon seeing the little girl, Grandpa Luo turned back, unable to hide the smile on his face. He happily picked up Si Xin Xin. "Xin Xin, you're finally back!"
A Xi stood quietly to the side, a smile appearing on his face.
After a long journey, they had finally arrived at the Western You Continent.
Fortunately, the young lady had been well-behaved and had not caused too much trouble, returning with him obediently.
Si Xin Xin's tender face was filled with smiles, her bright eyes sparkling like stars. "Grandpa Luo, Daddy has prepared a big gift for you in Jinling, so he can't come back for now. Why don't we go to Jinling to find him?"
Mother and Father were both in Jinling, and it was so boring for her to return to the Western You Continent alone.
These past few days, she had missed her mother terribly, wishing she could be by her mother's side immediately.
"Oh?"
Upon hearing about a big gift, Grandpa Luo's eyes showed a hint of inquiry. "What great gift has Jian Ye prepared for me?"
Si Xin Xin giggled, her young face taking on a mysterious look. "Grandpa Luo, I found my birth mother! Daddy and Mother are both in Jinling!"
"What? Xin Xin found her birth mother?"
Grandpa Luo's eyes brightened, and his voice rose slightly.
He had thought Si Xin Xin's mother was dead, but he never expected her to still be alive.
Over the years, he had tried his best to find a mother for Xin Xin and to find a wife for Si Jian Ye.
But no matter how hard he tried, neither of them had taken a liking to any woman.
Si Xin Xin nodded emphatically, a hint of seriousness on her small face. "That's right, Mother is in Jinling. Why don't we have Mother celebrate your birthday with us, Grandpa Luo?"
Grandpa Luo did not refuse and looked at Si Xin Xin with a touch of curiosity. "Who is your mother? How does she treat you?"
The two of them huddled together, discussing animatedly.
A Xi looked up at the darkening sky and reminded them, "It's getting late. Miss has had a long journey and should rest."
Grandpa Luo seemed to remember something and gently patted Si Xin Xin's small shoulder. "Rest well today, and we'll set off for Jinling tomorrow morning!"
He wanted to see what kind of woman could capture the attention of Si Jian Ye and Si Xin Xin.
A Xi's eyes widened instantly, and he looked at the scene before him with disbelief.
They had just returned to the Western You Continent, and now they were about to depart for Jinling!
