Bai Cheng Feng replied, “Lord Father’s words are too serious, this son does not have the intention.”
“It’s good you do not have the intention! I have already decreed her death, a trouble causing woman like her must not be kept alive. After she is dead, you can explain to the people outside that she hopes to accompany Hou San Hao in death and hand her corpse over to the Hou Family…”
Bai Cheng Feng’s face turned immediately, “Lord Father, please recall your decision!”
The anger that finally began to wane within emperor began to flare up again, “Ninth! This woman must die. If we do not give the Hou Family a proper explanation, it will greatly affect the reputation of our Bai Family! Young Master Ya even mocked our family for producing a wife stealing talent. If a person like him issues these remarks, the Five Empires, the Eight Great Clans and even the Holy Court would learn about this incident within a few days! Your name, Bai Cheng Feng, will forever be a laughing stock of others. As a father, I have hopes of helping you enter the Holy Court in the future and obtain a position of power within it! Thoroughly think about this matter, we must kill this woman; it could more or less assist you to recover some of your reputation.”
“Lord Father, this woman still had great uses for this son.” Bai Cheng Feng was never a rash person that acted without plans. But at this moment, he was worried that Huan Meng Yue might die if he did not do something quickly.
So he quickly continued, “Lord Father, that woman possess an Egg Star Talent and knew the Butterfly Culinary Technique. She had deep affections for this son, killing her so early would be a loss.”
“An Egg Star Talent is indeed impressive, but her age is an issue; she only awakened her spirit treasure now, so her future growth would be limited. As for the Butterfly Culinary Technique, this one had already sent someone to perform an investigation, she is only a fake God Chosen…” Despite his words, the emperor displayed a faint expression that suggested it was a pity that the situation had to come to this.
A person with an Egg Star Talent was rare; in addition, this person also knew the Butterfly Culinary Technique. Even though she was a fake God Chosen, it was still an outstanding skill that others did not possess.
However, looking at the current situation, if she was not put to death, the matter would not be settled. Too much would be at stake if they continued to allow this situation to fester.
Bai Cheng Feng also noticed his father’s minute expression. He immediately approached him and whispered into his ears, “Lord Father, I have an easy solution to handle this matter, we can…”
When the emperor heard his suggestion, he felt that it was indeed a feasible method.
“Your suggestion needs to be done without anyone discovering it, else the consequences will be too dire.”
Bai Cheng Feng replied, “If we are careful, no one has the ability to discover our plan and the situation will be stabilized.”
The emperor pondered for a moment before he turned to Eunuch Yao beside him to issue his instructions.
Eunuch Yao immediately headed out to implement his instructions.
Bai Cheng Feng was in great spirits, he immediately kowtowed a few times at the emperor, “Thank you, Lord Father!”
Now that the father and son duo had reached an understanding with each other, the atmosphere between them had also turned harmonious.
“Rumor has it that Hou San Hao indulges in all sorts of vices and cares for his own life greatly. He does not seem like someone who would take such drastic measures, why did he kill himself?” this was something that the emperor could not understand.
“Indeed, this son was also shocked when it happened.” Bai Cheng Feng recalled the scene earlier today, Hou San Hao acted as though he was suddenly possessed by a spirit.
Or as though he was being controlled by someone…
When he was at that last thought, he suddenly remembered the incident where Huan Qing Yan exposed Huan Meng Yue for being a fake God Chosen. She had mentioned that Huan Meng Yue’s Rouge Bird possessed the ability to control and affect the spirit treasure of others…
Could that be true?
Bai Cheng Feng quickly shook his head. That’s impossible, how could such a heaven-defying spirit treasure exist!
He quickly pushed away his suspicions to the back of his head.

Huan Qing Yan just entered the Huan Estate when Madam Huan was found anxiously waiting for her at the door.
“Mama? What happened?”
Madam Huan anxiously replied, “I just heard news that Huan Meng Yue seduced the Ninth Prince despite being engaged, and Young Master Hou had died due to this incident. Huan Meng Yue is now currently on her way to the execution platform on the Eastern Great Street to be executed, they want our family to head down there to collect her corpse…”
