Dian Yu had previously tried countless ways to break free from the ropes to no avail. As soon as Yaohua came, she generously untied her. This innocent young girl might really want to help her.
Hope ignited in Dian Yu's heart, and her gaze towards Yaohua grew more eager.
Yaohua pretended not to notice. "Sister, there's no hurry. How about we go back and stay for a while?"
A twinge of guilt suddenly welled up in her heart.
Dian Yu truly trusted her, but she had deliberately approached Dian Yu for other purposes.
After this matter was over, she would probably have to ask her master to save this poor sister.
Entering the inner chamber, Yaohua tossed aside the remaining ropes on the bed and flashed an innocent smile at Dian Yu. "Sister, please sit down."
Dian Yu, who hadn't been treated like this for a long time, felt her eyes redden.
"Sister, don't cry." Yaohua patted her on the shoulder. "Sister, I heard from Uncle Qihua that your sweetheart was a heartless man. Is that true?"
"Now that he's dead, Father can say whatever he wants!" Dian Yu gritted her teeth, but her tears flowed like a flood breaking through a dam.
"Sister, don't be angry. Others may not know Brother - in - law's character, but don't you, sister? I heard that it's very difficult for a person to meet their true love in a lifetime. In fact, sister, you're already very lucky." Yaohua carefully observed her expression. Seeing the nostalgic look on her face, she immediately asked, "How did you and Brother - in - law meet?"
Dian Yu wasn't on guard. "Ze Xin and I were childhood sweethearts. His father was the great elder of the clan. We grew up together."
"I imagine the clan chief watched Brother - in - law grow up, but now he speaks ill of him behind his back. It's really inappropriate!"
Rarely did someone share her indignation. Dian Yu immediately nodded. "Yes, when Ze Xin and I got married, Father never said a single bad word about Ze Xin."
"Then why does the clan chief speak ill of Brother - in - law now?" Yaohua showed a hint of confusion. "It's really strange."
To get closer to Dian Yu, she no longer called him Uncle but directly referred to him as the clan chief.
Dian Yu really felt closer to her. "I heard Mother call you Yaohua just now."
"Yes, it's the name given by my master. Sister, you can just call me Yaoyao." Yaohua sat obediently beside her, her legs swinging back and forth.
"Okay." Dian Yu glanced out of the window before looking at Yaohua. Her eyes were filled with determination. "I'll only tell you this one person about this matter."
Yaohua immediately became interested. She stopped smiling and looked serious. "If so, I'll surely keep it a secret for you, sister."
"It doesn't matter." Dian Yu hesitated before speaking. "Actually, my father and mother have fallen to the demonic path."
"What!" Yaohua was shocked. "Sister, are you telling the truth?"
If what Dian Yu said was true, then it was no wonder Qihua always tried to get her master away.
The clan chief falling to the demonic path was a major event that would shock the Three Realms!
Yaohua was panicked, and a hint of surprise showed on her face. "Sister, you can't just say such things casually. Do you have any evidence?"
Dian Yu looked sad. "If I didn't have evidence, why would I say such things without basis?"
She then took something out of her bosom.
"I found this in Father's study. If not for this, Ze Xin wouldn't have died." As she said this, tears welled up in her eyes again.
Yaohua looked down and found that the thing in her hand was a black seal, emitting an ominous aura.
"What is this?"
Dian Yu shook her head. "I only know that when Father was practicing, he used this seal to kill many clan members."
Presumably, this thing was some kind of magical tool.
"Sister, aren't you afraid of being discovered if you keep this thing on you?"
"Father and Mother locked me up here not only because of Ze Xin but also because of this thing. They want to force me to hand it over, but now no one believes me."
Dian Yu gave a bitter smile. "If only I could see God Chongming. God Chongming is just and strict. He will surely uphold justice for me."
"My master is here now, sister. I'll ask my master to uphold justice for you."
This matter involved the demon race. Her master would surely not sit idly by. At that time, she would also be helping this sister.
Most of Yaohua's guilt dissipated.
"Master?" Dian Yu paused. "Is your master God Chongming?"
Yaohua nodded. "Yes, I came here with my master."
Dian Yu looked a bit lost. Yaohua thought for a while and decided to continue asking.
"Why do you say Brother - in - law died because of this thing, sister?"
"I stole this seal and gave it to Ze Xin, hoping that he could go and find the god. But unexpectedly, Father found out." Hatred welled up in Dian Yu's eyes. "Father imprisoned me in the palace. After killing Ze Xin, he told everyone that Ze Xin died suddenly of an illness. I didn't even get to see him for the last time at his funeral yesterday."
Yaohua felt a bit sad.
Yesterday, as soon as she and her master landed, they saw the pheasant clan members wearing white cloths for the funeral. Presumably, Ze Xin that Dian Yu mentioned was highly respected by the pheasant clan. Otherwise, so many people wouldn't have been so moved.
Yaohua's mood suddenly became a bit heavy.
"I'm so lucky you showed up." Dian Yu burst into tears. "Otherwise, I really don't know how I could have gotten through this."
Yaohua patted her prominent shoulder but couldn't find the right words.
"When I came here, I also heard that sister has a younger sister named Dian Zhu."
Dian Yu was stunned. Her expression was dazed for a moment. "Did Father even mention Dian Zhu to you?"
"What's wrong with Sister Dian Zhu?" Yaohua was surprised. "Why doesn't the clan chief mention her to others?"
Dian Yu shook her head. "Dian Zhu was driven away by Father a few years ago. I haven't received any news from her for a long time."
It seemed that she couldn't get any information about Dian Zhu's whereabouts from Dian Yu.
Yaohua felt sad. She didn't know what her sixth elder brother was like now.
"Why did the clan chief drive away Sister Dian Zhu?"
"According to Father, Dian Zhu poisoned him in order to become the next clan chief."
This... this was too shocking!
Yaohua suppressed her surprise and then a hint of doubt emerged.
Dian Zhu helped the false god escape. If Qihua had really fallen to the demonic path, they should be on the same side in theory. Why would Dian Zhu try to poison Qihua?
"Yaohua, you're a phoenix. You're different from us. If Father disregards the god's face and schemes against you... you must be more careful."
Thinking of the incident where Qihua put drugs in her food, Yaohua nodded with lingering fear.
If her master hadn't been there, she would surely have been tricked.
Just as she was deep in thought, there was suddenly a noise outside.
"That girl Yaohua is really good."
It was the voice of the clan chief's wife.
Knowing that the clan chief's wife had also fallen to the demonic path, Yaohua felt a bit scared. Her body stiffened. She glanced at Dian Yu, and the hatred on the latter's face was undisguised.
"Now I actually hope that this girl can stay here for a while longer."
