Chapter 567 - 574: Flower Peacock’s Rebellion

Bai Feng sighed, a look of great envy on his face.

The already vexed Flower Peacock became even more agitated upon hearing this. She had always felt that the clan elders valued her Big Brother more, while they were never quite satisfied with her.

Now, with her Second Brother’s words, that rebellious streak in her heart flared up again.

’Why should I have to do whatever he says?’

’I’m a grown-up now. He’s not my father, what right does he have to order me around?’

’He doesn’t want me to go after Song Wanning, but I’m going to do it anyway. I’ll show him just how I’ll make Song Wanning submit to me!!!’

The more Flower Peacock thought about it, the more she felt she had to prove herself and utterly humiliate Bai Ye.

"That won’t do. Big Brother already gave the order for us to watch you closely."

Hearing this, Bai Feng feigned a nervous expression and grabbed Flower Peacock’s hand.

"You should just obediently listen to Big Brother. After all, the elders all say he’s steady and reliable. You can’t go wrong listening to him!!"

As soon as Flower Peacock heard that, her face darkened.

"Alright, alright, I get it! Now hurry up and leave!"

"I’m going to rest!"

She muttered as she pushed Bai Feng out, then slammed the door shut.

’Hmph, you want me to back down? Impossible!!’

’I’d love to see the look on Big Brother’s face when I kill Song Wanning!!!’

With that, Flower Peacock began to make her preparations.

She had originally given up on dealing with Song Wanning, but now, she felt she absolutely had to kill her. After all, it was the best way to prove herself.

Outside the room, Bai Feng’s figure quickly vanished into the night. No one knew he had come to see Flower Peacock, and no one would ever connect her actions to him.

After all, during the day, he had tried everything he could to stop her, even going so far as to have a huge fight with her over it!

The thought of Flower Peacock overestimating herself enough to try and take on Song Wanning almost made Bai Feng laugh out loud.

He had been fed up with that idiot for so long. But simply because she was the Clan Leader’s daughter and possessed exceptional comprehension and aptitude, she had been specially groomed by the clan since she was young.

Now, there were even rumors that the clan was preparing to train her to manage daily affairs and command subordinates...

They were getting ready to hand the Peacock Clan over to her.

This left Bai Feng deeply dissatisfied.

’The position of Clan Leader should belong to Big Brother!!!’

’Only Big Brother is worthy of that position. What right does she, Flower Peacock, have?’

’All she does is cause trouble after trouble. She’s so stupid!!!’

Bai Feng concealed the dark look in his eyes and returned to his room.

The next morning, when he led some people to her door to knock, they discovered that Flower Peacock was already gone.

"Where is the Young Miss?"

"Where did the Young Miss go?"

The other Demon Cultivators were terrified and quickly tried to contact Flower Peacock.

But Flower Peacock didn’t reply at all, vanishing as if into thin air.

Seeing this, Bai Feng immediately contacted the Peacock Clan. But because they were busy dealing with matters concerning the Hundred Demons Palace, the only reply he received was an order to find her immediately.

The Clan Leader also tried to contact Flower Peacock personally, but he too received no response.

In the end, the task fell to Bai Feng.

But Bai Feng had no intention of genuinely searching for Flower Peacock. He soon set off in the complete opposite direction.

Meanwhile, Flower Peacock had no idea she had been manipulated.

Her mind was completely consumed with finding Song Wanning to prove her abilities and, while she was at it, get revenge for being toyed with before.

So, ever since she found out the direction Song Wanning was heading, she had been chasing after her with all her might.

To avoid being recognized by her own subordinates, she even deliberately disguised herself, going to great lengths.

...

"Wan Ning, we’re very close now, but the journey has been so smooth that I have a bad feeling about it."

Liu Lan Yi voiced the doubt in her heart.

The closer they got, the more uneasy she felt.

Gong Ye’s abilities were not to be taken lightly.

She always felt that behind this calm, a much larger storm was waiting for them.

Song Wanning’s expression darkened at her words. "You think Gong Ye is deliberately waiting for us to go find that thing?"

’With a personality like Gong Ye’s, that’s entirely possible.’

She had been using a clone to gather information on Gong Ye recently, which was why she dared to come along with such confidence. But Liu Lan Yi’s worries were not unfounded. ’What if it’s all just a smokescreen?’

’If that’s the case, the item might actually fall into Gong Ye’s hands, and the loss would far outweigh the gain.’

She quickly began to think. ’If that’s really the case, then we should find a way to lure him out first.’

’If we’re just overthinking things, then we can search for the item with peace of mind.’

So, she immediately began to discuss it with Liu Lan Yi.

After listening, Liu Lan Yi nodded gravely. "That method you suggested is feasible. Better safe than sorry. Let’s do it!"

Once they decided, the two began to discuss the details, including how to spring the trap. At the very least, they needed to be able to ensnare their opponent.

Feng Jiuxiao’s legacy also found a new use. Liu Lan Yi had quite a talent for the way of Arrays, and the improved legacy was even more formidable.

Liu Lan Yi couldn’t put it down after she got it and dove into a frenzy of study.

Because of this, Song Wanning decided to stay in the city for a while longer to give Liu Lan Yi enough time to study. After all, besides an Array, she couldn’t think of a better way to trap someone with Gong Ye’s level of Cultivation.

One day, while she was strolling outside and buying medicinal herbs, she saw a familiar figure: Flower Peacock.

But strangely, not only was Flower Peacock in disguise, but all of her guards were gone. She was here all alone.

Song Wanning watched for a few extra seconds, making a mental note of it, then returned to the inn after finishing her shopping.

That evening, she discovered that Flower Peacock had checked into their very same inn.

She told Liu Lan Yi about it.

"She’s not here for us, is she?"

Liu Lan Yi’s brow twitched. She had a feeling this was not a good thing.

"I think so too..."

Song Wanning nodded. Although Flower Peacock’s behavior was strange, it was indeed too much of a coincidence.

"Then if she really is here for us, we..."

A flash of hesitation crossed Liu Lan Yi’s eyes.

If they killed Flower Peacock, she was worried they would anger the Peacock Clan.

But Song Wanning’s gaze was firm. "If she’s really here for us, then we’ll make sure it’s a one-way trip!"

"Perfect. I’m very interested in that Demon King Map."

She gave a cold smile. Someone was delivering themselves to her doorstep; naturally, she wouldn’t be polite.

Hearing this, Liu Lan Yi said no more, tacitly agreeing with Song Wanning’s idea.

She wasn’t one to shy away from trouble either. ’If they really go too far, then we’ll fight it out!’

’At worst, we’ll all go to hell together, but we’ll never let our enemies have it easy!’

And so, for the next few days, neither of them left their rooms. One focused on Alchemy while the other studied Arrays, and their days were quite fulfilling.

Flower Peacock, however, was growing impatient.
