Chapter 696: 698, all can prove (first update)

For a moment, the crowd was astounded!

Everyone was exclaiming that a prodigy had emerged in the Superpower World!

"A prodigy! A prodigy sent from heaven, blessing the Superpower World!"

"Oh my! Isn’t this too amazing?"

"Three minutes? She solved an ancient puzzle that lasted a thousand years? Am I dreaming?"

"What did she just say her name was? Luo Yu, right? From today on, she’s my idol!"

"Luo Yu! Luo Yu!"

The crowd was excitedly shouting Luo Yu’s name.

Everyone was very excited, after all, this was a puzzle that remained unsolvable in the Three Realms for thousands of years, and today, it had been solved by someone from their Superpower World! This was a matter of honor!

It added glory to the Superpower World.

In the crowd, Mu Xianxian was scrutinizing Luo Yu with a complicated expression, feeling a bitter taste in her heart.

Luo Yu was behaving very abnormally today. Mu Xianxian had had an encounter with Luo Yu before and knew this wasn’t a trait of genius in her, so how could Luo Yu have such a dramatic change today?

To think she solved an unsolvable thousand-year-old puzzle as soon as she made her move!

It was quite exaggerated.

Could it be that Luo Yu had always been concealing her skill?

But it didn’t seem like it.

This was the last question, and no one expected Luo Yu to win, but in fact, Luo Yu did win. Could it be that Luo Yu was going to snatch away the position of Lady Nine?

Mu Xianxian was biting her lip tightly, filled with reluctance.

The people from the Mo family had not expected Luo Yu to solve this remaining game so quickly! This puzzle was supposed to be unsolvable in the world!

It seemed that Luo Yu was destined to become the main daughter-in-law of the Mo family, an outcome that no one could stop!

Hearing the praises of the crowd, Luo Yu’s lips curled up in a smug arc.

This uncle of hers had finally done something good.

If it hadn’t been for Luo Yingjie finding the nearly extinct Crystal Bug, she wouldn’t have succeeded so smoothly.

In just half an hour, Luo Yu had completed all the assessments prepared by the Mo family.

The audience below was cheering.

Only the elderly Madam Mo and the other elders of the Mo family had faces as white as a sheet of paper.

It seemed they had underestimated Luo Yu.

Now, what should they do?

Could they really let the elderly Madam Mo announce that Luo Yu is to become the main daughter-in-law of the Mo family?

The elderly Madam Mo was a respectable person, and Mo Zhixuan was such a character; they couldn’t go back on their word. If word got out, what authority would Mo Zhixuan have when he spoke in the future?

However, if the elderly Madam Mo acknowledged Luo Yu as the main daughter-in-law of the Mo family, the Mo family’s foundation of a hundred years might be destroyed by her hands!

For a while, the elderly Madam Mo was caught between a rock and a hard place.

Mo Qingyi was even more anxious. She had not expected Luo Yu to be such a well-concealed person. She had long warned the elderly Madam Mo to drive Luo Yu away!

But the elderly Madam Mo didn’t take her advice and kept such a calamity by her side.

Now look what’s happened! But how to resolve this mess?

The main mother of the distinguished Mo family couldn’t go back on her word, could she?

If someone like Luo Yu became the main mother of the Mo family, the Mo family would truly be in chaos, with no peace in sight.

Mo Qingyi hastily dialed Duanmu Zhe’s number on her phone, but alas, there was no answer on the other end.

Really.

Mo Qingyi was sweating with anxiety. This Duanmu Zhe, always missing at critical moments.

If Duanmu Zhe could now bring over the appraisal report, perhaps they could turn the situation around!

It had to be before the elderly Madam Mo pronounced the result.

Mo Qingyi was silently praying in her heart.

Just then, Luo Yu on the stage, her smile brimming with triumph, looked at the elderly Madam Mo, "Aunt Mo, I’ve passed all the assessments. Can you announce my identity to everyone now?"

Luo Yu was very smug.

Of course, she knew how difficult the problems prepared by the Mo family were.

Among the people present, no one but her could solve them all.

Tonight, not only would she become a famous prodigy in the Superpower World, but she would also become the recognized Lady Nine in everyone’s hearts.

Two birds with one stone.

The elders of the Mo family beside her had different expressions.

Some were so immersed in Luo Yu’s ’talent’ they couldn’t extricate themselves, while others were sweating bullets for the elderly Madam Mo.

The situation had progressed to such an extent that even the elderly Madam Mo was powerless to change it!

Words spoken were like water spilt, irrevocable.

Now, they could only do as Luo Yu had said.

Fortunately, Luo Yu was the biological mother of the child, and being a woman of great ability, she should be able to manage the Mo family well in the future, right?

The elderly Madam Mo stood up, holding onto this slim chance of hope.

As she just got up, a brisk female voice appeared in the air, "Hold on, who said you’ve passed all the assessments? There’s still one last and most important hurdle you haven’t passed yet."

As these words came out, everyone looked towards the source of the sound.

They saw a woman in a blue dress walking gracefully towards them.

With big wavy hair, beautifully done makeup, and fiery red lips, she walked step by step onto the stage, exuding a powerful aura with every step.

This was—

Mo Feixue.

Upon seeing this person, hope was rekindled in the eyes of the old lady of the Mo family and the other members of the Mo family.

Without Mo Zhixuan, Mo Feixue was the pillar of the Mo family.

As long as she was there, any problem could be resolved with ease.

Even Mo Qingyi’s lips curved into a smile.

Mo Qingyi had indeed disliked Mo Feixue in the past, but after spending a year together, she had come to recognize Mo Feixue anew.

Mo Feixue was no longer the same Mo Feixue as before.

"Who are you?" Luo Yu asked with her chin held high, glancing sideways at Mo Feixue, "Is it your turn to speak here?"

Not recognizing Mo Feixue and assuming her to be just an insignificant junior, Luo Yu brazenly spoke these words.

"Luo Yu, is it?" Mo Feixue walked up to Luo Yu, looked down at her from above and said, "Let me introduce myself. My name is Mo Feixue, the current head of the Mo family. Now tell me, is it my turn to speak here?"

Mo Feixue had been in the position of head of the Mo family for quite some time and carried a sense of authority, which happened to suppress Luo Yu.

Luo Yu’s face turned a shade paler but then quickly returned to normal, and she said with a soft laugh, "So it turns out to be big sister. I’m really sorry, Luo Yu has poor eyesight and did not recognize you."

Even though Luo Yu didn’t know Mo Feixue, she was aware of Mo Feixue’s status within the Mo family and knew she was the legitimate daughter of the primary branch of the family.

Now, Mo Feixue was the one who made decisions for the Mo family.

Mo Feixue’s expression turned cold and she said sharply, "Who are you calling big sister! You don’t even qualify," her words sparing no courtesy for Luo Yu.

This was Mo Feixue’s usual style.

In her eyes, Luo Yu was but a mere clown.

More importantly, people like Luo Yu really didn’t even deserve to step through the doors of the Mo family.

The smile on Luo Yu’s face froze,"Everyone says the Mo family is a reputable and trustworthy household, whose words carry weight and actions have consequences. How come, today, your Mo family is ganging up to bully a weak woman, and backing out on a promise? The old lady of the Mo family said, as long as I pass all the tests, you would recognize me as the eldest daughter-in-law of the Mo family. But now, why do you go back on your word?"

Luo Yu didn’t hold Mo Feixue in high regard either. She was about to become the lady of Nine States, so why fear a mere Mo Feixue?

Throwing out such a label of ’untrustworthy’ would make most people falter.

But Mo Feixue, a person who had been through thick and thin, could not be frightened by a Luo Yu.

Mo Feixue slightly lifted the corners of her lips and continued, "Our Mo family has always kept its word, and my aunt said, as long as you pass all the tests, we would acknowledge you as one of us. But the problem is, you still have one test left, so please forgive me for not being able to acknowledge you just yet."

Since Mo Feixue had arrived, she was fully prepared.

Luo Yu also smiled, "Then please, head of the Mo family, present this last test." Luo Yu was holding a Crystal Bug and was fearless, without any worry.

No matter what kind of difficult challenge Mo Feixue brought out, she would easily overcome it.

"Good," Mo Feixue’s lips curled into an arc, then with a light wave of her hand, there was a flash of golden light, and suddenly, an ancient Konghou appeared before them.

This Konghou was made of thousand-year-old rosewood, with dragons and phoenixes carved on its body—exquisitely crafted as if they could rush out at any moment. It emitted an old and mysterious aura all around.

Threads of sandalwood fragrance lingered in the air.

Grand, exquisite.

It left people in awe.

The audience below was abuzz with conversation, "When divine music is played, marvels appear; it can heal the dead and mend broken bones. This... this must be the ancient Konghou, right?"

"I never imagined that in my lifetime, I’d be able to witness the ancient Konghou!"

"Wasn’t this Konghou said to belong to Miss Zheng? How come it has appeared in the hands of the family head?"

"I’ve heard that only those predestined can play the Konghou."

"The Konghou is an object with great spiritual essence, a divine instrument of the ancient empress. It has been preserved to this day because it was imbued with the empress’s spiritual energy. They say that only the destined woman of the Bloodline of Fire Bathing can play it."

"I have seen Miss Zheng play it before."

"..."

Mo Feixue was late precisely because she was seeking the ancient Konghou.

Mo Zhixuan had placed the ancient Konghou in the mortal world, guarded by the Divine Beast White Tiger. It had taken Mo Feixue great effort to find the ancient Konghou.

Seeing the ancient Konghou, Mu Xianxian’s heart that was hanging in suspense finally eased because she knew that Luo Yu, with her qualifications, simply couldn’t play the Konghou.

This Luo Yu, wanting to become the wife of the eldest son of the Mo family, it seems won’t be so easy.

Mo Qingyi also looked up to Mo Feixue with a face full of admiration.

The family head is indeed the family head.

Sure enough, her methods are extraordinary—spectacular from the moment she makes her move.

Mo Feixue walked over to the ancient Konghou and gently caressed the body of the instrument, then slowly began to speak, her clear and beautiful voice swirling through every corner of the banquet hall.

"This object is the ancient Konghou, a divine instrument of the ancient empress. The ancient empress used it to pacify the Nine States, unify the kingdoms, establish a peaceful and prosperous era, and become the ruler of the entire Nine States. Anyone who can play the Konghou belongs to the Bloodline of Fire Bathing, and only the destined woman of the Bloodline of Fire Bathing can enter the doors of our Mo family and become the revered Ninth Madam."

Having said this, Mo Feixue raised her eyes to Luo Yu and continued,

"Today, if you can play the Konghou, it will mean you are of the Bloodline of Fire Bathing, and from then on, you will be the leader of our entire Mo clan. Anyone who dares to disobey, I, Mo Feixue, will be the first to not let them off!"

The last sentence, decisive and forceful, made everyone’s heart tremble, and no one dared to question it.

Luo Yu looked at the ancient Konghou and narrowed her eyes, then communicated with the Crystal Bug through her thoughts, "Is this Konghou really as extraordinary as they say?"

Luo Yu had, of course, heard about the ancient Konghou, so at this moment, she was a bit nervous and unsettled.

What if she couldn’t play the Konghou? Wouldn’t all her efforts be in vain?

How could she allow such a thing to happen?

Within Luo Yu’s ear, the Crystal Bug formed a thread of light and responded,

[This ancient Konghou looks quite ordinary to me, lacking the spiritual energy described in the legends. Go ahead and play, and when the time comes, I will compose for you.]

The voice of the Crystal Bug sounded sharp and somewhat piercing, but no flaw appeared on Luo Yu’s expression.

Hearing this, Luo Yu immediately put her mind at ease. She raised her eyes and looked in the direction of Mo Feixue, her gaze carrying a trace of ferocity.

Luo Yu then asked, "So long as I can play this Konghou, your Mo family will acknowledge me as your daughter-in-law, and the word of the Mo family head will be honored?"

Cautiousness leads to longevity, and Luo Yu could tell at a glance that Mo Feixue was not one to be trifled with, so Luo Yu had to make sure that everything would go without fail.

Mo Feixue, with her hands behind her back, stood there, looking down at Luo Yu from above, "That is of course. I, Mo Feixue, always mean what I say, and everyone present can attest to that!"
