Chapter 291 Demon Lord’s Blind Date

The fifth brother's legs were broken and he was dying, but he was thrown directly in front of the eldest lady. It seemed that the Demon Lord was really angry this time.

The eldest lady did not sleep well that night. She went to the old lady early the next morning. As soon as she entered the door, she hugged the old lady and cried, telling her how this unfilial son was against her.

After she had finished crying, the old lady said slowly, "When you insisted on keeping this child, I reminded you that after all, it was not your own child and you might not be able to raise him, but you refused to listen."

He rolled his eyes at her and said, "When he was little, you couldn't control your temper and beat him up. No matter how much you've done to make amends over the years, it's all in vain. You, it was your father and I who indulged you, allowing you to develop this reckless and unruly personality."

The eldest lady cried, "If we don't have a child, we won't be able to tie Mu Yu's heart. Fortunately, he didn't know that I was infertile and always thought that Xingchuan was his biological son. But mother, do you think it's because of the blood relationship? I always feel that Mu Yu treats his biological daughter differently from Xingchuan."

The old lady slapped her hard and said, "Don't think too much. Anyway, Xingchuan is now the blood of our Yin family. That old Taoist... is not a simple person. He insisted on using the blood of this evil child as medicine. There must be something hidden behind this."

The eldest lady was also puzzled: "This Taoist priest has been on the island for several years. The pills he prepared have indeed alleviated Xingchuan's condition. He went out to sea a few years ago and brought back a stupid apprentice. He suddenly mentioned that the blood of close relatives can be used as medicine. I was scared for a while, fearing that he would use my and Mu Yu's blood to make a fuss. Who knew that he actually said that our blood was not suitable. Oh, I was really afraid that he would see Xingchuan's background at that time!"

After finishing speaking, he was a little scared. He calmed down and continued: "When he said that my blood didn't match Mu Yu's, I thought he knew the truth. I really wanted to kill him, but he changed the subject and figured out that there was another relative of Xingchuan in the world. It just so happened that the elder said that he had seen a little girl who looked like Madam Mu. Xingchuan then headed towards the bastard born by the Gu family step by step."

The old lady's eyes showed murderous intent: "This old Taoist cannot be kept alive. Whether he deliberately planned to kill the evil offspring or implicated this evil offspring by mistake, after taking the blood and refining the medicine, you will get rid of the old Taoist privately."

The eldest lady hesitated and asked, "If we kill the old Taoist priest, what about Xingchuan's illness?"

The old lady rolled her eyes at her and said, "He's not your own child, why do you care so much? The most urgent thing is to arrange a marriage for him as soon as possible, marry him back, and give birth to a child as soon as possible. As long as outsiders see that the Yin family has an heir, what are you worried about?"

Seeing that the eldest lady was still hesitant, the old lady advised: "You, you always can't figure out what the key point is. Seventeen years ago, I told you not to be impulsive. If Mu Yu wants to raise a concubine, just let him do it. What we want is the support of the Mu family and the rights of Penglai Island. You refused to listen and couldn't tolerate the mother and daughter. You insisted on killing them, which led to seventeen years of resentment between you and Mu Yu. Last night, you acted on your own again. Not only did you not accomplish the task, but you also alerted the enemy, causing your son to resent you. You are so confused! From now on, don't care about the life and death of that evil seed. The old Taoist is still in front of you! You should concentrate on looking at the daughters of each family and marry Xingchuan as soon as possible!"

After listening to her mother's words, the eldest lady was enlightened. After returning to her residence, she prepared to hold a banquet and invited the women of the four major families on Penglai Island. Anyone with a discerning eye knew that this was a banquet for the Demon Lord to choose a future wife.

This news spread on Penglai Island and soon attracted the attention of the shadow guards.

At night, the shadow guards returned to their base one by one and reported to He Linzhang the news they had heard outside.

"Your Majesty, there are five major families on Penglai Island, all of which are descendants of the families that founded the Demon Cult. The Yin family is firmly in the position of the master, and the other families have also produced many elders and guardians, and they are evenly matched. The previous Demon Lord was from the Mu family and married the daughter of the Yin family. He was a son-in-law of the Yin family, so he inherited the position of Demon Lord."

"I heard that Master Mu has been living alone on a side island since he parted ways with the Demon Lord's mother, the Madam, seventeen years ago. He just returned to Penglai Island recently. I guess he came here for Concubine Tao."

Another shadow guard also reported back: "Today, Penglai Palace sent invitations to all families, inviting the women of each family to the palace for a banquet. I inquired about it and found that the purpose should be to select a wife for the Demon Lord."

"I wonder if Concubine Tao will attend the banquet?"

As everyone was discussing, He Linzhang frowned and thought. After a moment, he raised his hand and signaled everyone to be quiet: "We can't enter the Penglai Palace normally, so this is a great opportunity. No matter what, we have to find a way to get in."

The shadow guards had the same idea, so on the second day, they went out to gather intelligence separately to see if they could blend in with the servants of the four major families and fish in troubled waters.

The Demon Lord said that he had to think about it, and before he had thought it over, he could not touch Tao Yanyan. In addition, after the eldest lady acted on her own and was severely reprimanded by the Demon Lord, she did not dare to act rashly, so Tao Yanyan did not encounter any crisis in the past two days.

After she learned that the eldest lady was going to hold a banquet, she wondered if she could take advantage of the large number of people at the banquet to fish in troubled waters and find Qi Yizheng. If Qi Yizheng had any difficulties, she might be able to help a little.

But thinking of the old Taoist being there, she didn't dare to go over easily, for fear of exposing Qi Yizheng.

On the day of the banquet, carriages of families from various households stopped one after another at the gate of Penglai Palace. The female family members were dressed up beautifully and got off the carriages with the help of maids. After their business cards were checked, they were allowed to enter Penglai Palace.

In the crowd, two tall maids were particularly eye-catching. They looked big and strong, but they walked in a very charming way.

He Linzhang glanced at Ying Yi who was wearing red and green, then looked at his own goose yellow and emerald green dress, and said coldly: "I shouldn't have listened to you. You asked me to dress like this. Is it better for me to see Yan Yan or not?"

Ying Yi was also extremely uncomfortable. Looking at the tall and gentle Majesty beside him, he was roaring madly in his heart, but he did not dare to speak loudly. He could only pinch his voice and said: "Please bear with it for now. It's good enough that we can come in like this. Ying San and the others refused to dress up, so they can't come in!"

He Linzhang looked at him speechlessly: What, are you still proud of your idea that works well?

Fortunately, the two were following the women of the Qian family. The women of the Qian family were the roughest-looking of the four major families, and the maids they brought with them were of all shapes and sizes. They were an eye-catching sight wherever they went, and everyone on Penglai Island had become accustomed to them.

The Qian family only came to the banquet for a few moments and did not expect to be noticed by the First Lady and the Demon Lord.

You have to know that the Demon Lord is one of the most suave and charming figures in Penglai Island. Perhaps only the young ladies from the Dong and Qi families can match him.
