Chapter 2144 - 2133: The Living Sacrifice Candidate, Dongfang Ziyue

To make Dongfang Haoxuan believe in his abilities was impossible, not even Lin Zifeng himself knew if he could contend with those ancient clans; for now, he could only think of another topic.

He smiled, "I heard from Xiaohuang that you have an older daughter named Dongfang Ziyue?" Lin Zifeng went straight to the point, without beating around the bush, he laughed.

"Oh? Brother Lin, you already know this?" Dongfang Haoxuan, who was drinking tea, slightly trembled in his hands, a small gesture that was caught by Lin Zifeng, right under his nose.

"Xiaohuang mentioned it casually, and I just happened to remember it." Lin Zifeng said with a smile, bringing Dongfang Xiaohuang into the conversation. He knew that the National Guardian Martial God, Dongfang Haoxuan, adored his youngest daughter, so involving Dongfang Xiaohuang was the most suitable move.

However, there are exceptions to everything. After asking the question, he had already prepared for the worst, perhaps he had touched sensitive nerves of Dongfang Haoxuan, which might lead to a sudden face-off.

"Yes, I have two daughters, Dongfang Ziyue, Dongfang Xiaohuang. Their biological mother passed away early, before she had the chance to give me a son, she left." As he spoke, a tinge of sadness flashed across Dongfang Haoxuan’s face.

Lin Zifeng wasn’t concerned about these, he offered slight consolation and continued probing, "I wonder if you are aware of the Beiyao Ancient Clan?"

"Oh?" Dongfang Haoxuan’s brow furrowed deeply, his expression shocked, he squinted at him, then slowly spoke, "You also know about the Beiyao Ancient Clan?"

"Not only do I know, I also know that your older daughter is a clan maiden of the Beiyao Ancient Clan." Lin Zifeng smiled, staring intently at him.

"Boom!"

Dongfang Haoxuan’s head exploded with a bang, looking at Lin Zifeng with disbelief, his voice trembled, "How do you know about this?"

There were very few people who knew his daughter was a clan maiden of the Beiyao Ancient Clan, and this young man in front of him could even talk about his daughter being the clan maiden, did that mean he knew the situation in his house?

"No need to be nervous, I not only know this, but I also know about the inside story of the clan maiden live sacrifice held every century by the Beiyao Ancient Clan. If I am not mistaken, your elder daughter Dongfang Ziyue is probably the clan maiden for this live sacrifice by the Beiyao Ancient Clan."

"Snap!"

"You speak nonsense!" Sure enough, upon hearing this situation, Dongfang Haoxuan became instantly angry. Live sacrifice? What does this mean, no one would understand the content of the live sacrifice better than Dongfang Haoxuan.

His daughter had managed to join the Beiyao Ancient Clan; based on Lin Zifeng’s words alone, determining that the Beiyao Ancient Clan was using his daughter for live sacrifice, wasn’t this slander?

Moreover, their Dongfang Family had worked hard to align with the Beiyao Ancient Clan; his daughter had successfully entered the clan and was chosen as a clan maiden, which was highly beneficial for the Dongfang Family. Now Lin Zifeng, in front of him, actually said that the Beiyao Ancient Clan wanted to use his daughter for live sacrifice, this is something Dongfang Haoxuan absolutely could not envision.

If this was true, did the Beiyao Ancient Clan want his daughter dead?

Impossible!

"Whether this is the case, you can go and check. Moreover, I think you are unaware of this matter, but I believe Miss Ziyue deep inside knows very clearly. If you don’t believe it, you can go and ask Miss Ziyue and see if what she says matches mine." Lin Zifeng smiled, not caring about Dongfang Haoxuan’s skepticism, the factual truth is as such.

The black-clad man killed last night had already explained everything, Lin Zifeng didn’t need to deceive him.

"Alright!" Dongfang Haoxuan nodded seriously, then called on his subordinate and demanded the elder miss to be brought here for direct questioning.

The slight bit of relationship initially established between Lin Zifeng and Dongfang Haoxuan now seemed to have entirely shattered.

However, Lin Zifeng wasn’t worried at all, as soon as Dongfang Ziyue appeared, all truths would come to light.

At this moment, the atmosphere within the Tea Hall became incredibly tense, under Dongfang Haoxuan’s inability to endure, Lin Zifeng actually claimed that his precious daughter was the subject of live sacrifice by the Beiyao Ancient Clan, how could it not enrage Dongfang Haoxuan?

Dongfang Haoxuan cared deeply for his two daughters, and hearing Lin Zifeng say such things, he became even angrier.

Moreover, being able to join the thousand-year-old Beiyao Ancient Clan was a tremendous fortune; ordinary people couldn’t even step onto the threshold of the Beiyao Ancient Clan. It was supposed to be a matter worth celebrating, yet in Lin Zifeng’s eyes, it turned into a blatant live sacrifice!

Soon, under the guidance of the subordinate, Dongfang Haoxuan’s older daughter, Dongfang Ziyue, truly arrived.

Although she didn’t know what it was for, the atmosphere within the Tea Hall was heavy, coupled with the presence of Lin Zifeng, a stranger, Dongfang Ziyue in a white dress paused like an immortal descending to the mortal realm.

Indeed... Dongfang Ziyue’s close proximity revealed a stunning beauty that surprised everyone, even someone like Lin Zifeng who had seen countless beauties was dazed by Dongfang Ziyue’s ethereal and gorgeous appearance.

Moreover, Dongfang Ziyue exuded a noble and cold elegance, even Lin Zifeng, a Saint, seemed like an ugly duckling before a great white swan.

"Father, why did you summon me?" Dongfang Ziyue glanced at Lin Zifeng briefly then looked away.

But what brewed inside Lin Zifeng’s heart was a restless curiosity; recalling the day he saw Dongfang Ziyue’s figure in the hot spring, with her graceful and impressive posture, even now vague images of her enchanting skin and impressive body kept surfacing in his mind.

And now, watching her closely like this further stirred his heart and mind, recalling the nosebleed-inducing scene beneath the water.

If Dongfang Ziyue knew that it was him who voyeuristically watched her that day, she probably would have the thought of killing him.

Thankfully, he didn’t expose his true look back then, otherwise, it would’ve caused him much trouble. Meeting now, she might as well kill him.

Seeing his daughter come, Dongfang Haoxuan furrowed his brows deeper, but he truly believed Lin Zifeng’s words.

At least he didn’t dismissed him like usual, instead he cared about every word Lin Zifeng said. Knowing Lin Zifeng’s identity was mysterious, and today he spoke with such self-assurance, Dongfang Haoxuan could not help but believe in the facts.
