Regardless of what relationship Concubine Yu had with Long Qianyue, these remains could only belong to Lili!
After bowing three times, Feng Yexuan rolled up his sleeves, not daring to use his True Qi, fearing it would be disrespectful to Long Qianyue.
It was with his own hands that he slowly unearthed the lonely grave, bit by bit.
He did not know how long he had been digging, but finally, he reached a coffin.
"Dragon Lady, I am taking you back to see your daughter."
With little effort, Feng Yexuan lifted the coffin, placing it on the ground not far away.
He intended to carry the coffin away directly, but unexpectedly, due to its ancient origins, the very moment it landed, it cracked open.
"Sorry!" Feng Yexuan muttered softly, walking over intending to close the coffin lid.
But just as he was about to close it, his movement suddenly stopped.
Inside, there was no corpse!
There was only a box!
Feng Yexuan took out the box, slightly exerted his power, and instantly pinched open the small lock on the box.
Inside was a token, and another, even smaller box.
He picked up the token.
The token was also ancient, coated with a layer of dull patina, but the inscription on it was still clear.
Long.
It resembled the token of the Imperial Family of Longteng Country.
Having survived on the battlefield for so many years, this token was very similar to the Imperial Family tokens of Longteng Country he had seen before.
If it was the token of a prominent Imperial Family member, then one side would bear the surname and the other side, the given name.
Upon flipping it over, Feng Yexuan felt a sudden tension in his heart.
Xiyue!
Long Xiyue!
The tombstone worshipped by Concubine Yu contained no corpse, just an item representing identity.
The token of Long Xiyue.
The person she worshipped was Long Xiyue!
Then, the portrait that was found outside... were Long Qianyue and Long Xiyue, the same person?
Feng Yexuan opened the smaller box as well.
At first glance at the item inside the box, even a composed man like him couldn’t help but change his expression!
The Jade Seal of Longteng Country!
He never expected that the Jade Seal of Longteng Country would be hidden by Concubine Yu, concealed for over a decade!
So, did Long Xiyue truly die, with both the token and the Jade Seal ending up in Concubine Yu’s hands?
Back then, what was the relationship between Concubine Yu and Long Xiyue?
Did Long Xiyue die from falling off a cliff on her own, or was she murdered?
Was Concubine Yu the one who harmed her?
There were too many questions, and Feng Yexuan could not find the answers all at once.
He pocketed the token into his clothes.
As for the Jade Seal, the box was too large to hide, so he had to carry it in his hands.
But he didn’t expect that just as he emerged from the underground cave, he saw a shadowy figure burst through the entrance of the cave from outside.
The person in black also hadn’t expected to find someone else in the cave.
Without a chance to clearly see each other’s faces, the person in black flicked their wrist, and several hidden weapons flew out with a whoosh.
Feng Yexuan sidestepped and tightened his fingers, catching the hidden weapons between them.
His handsome face swiftly changed color.
The intruder drew a short blade with a swoosh and lunged straight at his heart.
Feng Yexuan, with a hint of helplessness, discarded the silver needles in his hand.
As the blade deviated mid-way, aiming for his shoulder, he quickly grasped her wrist.
"Being merciful to an enemy is cruelty to oneself! How can you prevail without striking the killing blow? Foolish woman!"
