Volume 4, Chapter 73 – Commotion at the Lingyuan Estate

Northern border of the Covenant, Wishaven.

Within the main residence of the Lingyuan family.

At this moment, Luo Fei-Lingyuan, as the head of the family, was sitting on the office sofa with a complicated mood, staring gravely at the numerous messages displayed on the screen before him.

And these messages

Were all about the Terran Malevolence Gaia Lobir.

After the exposure that the Lingyuan family’s mistress Lianna was actually the infamous evil god, their Lingyuan family had undoubtedly become the center of this storm.

The entire human world cast suspicious gazes upon them, suspecting whether they knew about this matter… whether they had already become contractors of the evil god, deliberately helping the Terran Malevolence hide her identity to complete some unspeakable evil plan.

Therefore,

The moment Bai Lianyue’s evil god identity was revealed, the entire Lingyuan family fell into an unprecedented atmosphere of gravity and oppression.

“…”

After a long silence, Luo Fei let out a long sigh.

Blockhead Bai,

You fool,

Sure enough you couldn’t hide your identity…

Ah, I shouldn’t have let you go to the capital.

But something feels strange… With that blockhead’s current strength, how could she be captured by Divine Faith people? Those guys are just wastes who act like charlatans in the name of divinity—how could they possibly have the ability to control a Terran Malevolence?

Not only was she controlled, but Ailiya and the others were also captured?

What exactly happened in the capital?

The more he thought about it, the more puzzled Luo Fei became.

Although he didn’t trust Bai Lianyue’s brain very much, Luo Fei quite recognized this old buddy’s strength.

Moreover,

The boss was captured? Those guys from the Terrabond Lineage did nothing? What is Yelena doing? What are Serveiling and Ling Xi, who were staying in the capital, doing?

And…

What is that old dog lying in the garden sunbathing doing?

Glancing toward the garden outside the window, after taking in the sight of a certain big yellow dog lying on the lawn with its belly exposed, Luo Fei’s eyebrow couldn’t help but twitch.

—”What the hell are these guys doing?”

Just as Luo Fei was contemplating, Naro, who had been standing beside him for a long time, spoke with a complicated mood:

“Lord Luo Fei, there’s an emergency situation.”

“Speak, what happened?”

Bringing his attention back, this silver-haired man seriously turned to look at the old butler wearing a monocle behind him.

“We just received news that citizens within Wishaven are protesting on a large scale… demanding we give an explanation. Also, people from the Covenant’s Special Inspection Bureau and the Divine Faith have also come to Wishaven… similarly demanding we give an explanation.”

“Explanation?”

Raising an eyebrow, Luo Fei sneered disdainfully.

“What explanation?”

“A statement about Madam, of course!”

Naro replied anxiously:

“We need to tell those people! Madam was framed, those videos are all fake! They’re all conspiracies by those Divine Faith bastards!”

With Naro’s words, the head maid Kathleen nearby and the various important Lingyuan family figures in the room all nodded in unison.

They all knew that behind the Divine Faith was Paradise Manor.

And Paradise Manor had always coveted Madam and the young ladies.

For those bastards to frame people wasn’t impossible!

No matter what,

Rеаd oո ΚαtRеαⅾіnɡСafе

Even if the videos seemed real, even if there were many witnesses… Naro and the others were unwilling to believe the Divine Faith’s official absurd declaration.

Their Madam,

Although her temperament had indeed changed greatly compared to ten years ago, was quite confused, soft, gentle, and cute.

She was completely their Lingyuan family’s mascot.

Not to mention,

Madam was so doting and caring toward the young ladies, attentive to every detail.

How could such a Madam possibly be an evil god?!

“Lord Luo Fei!! We must clarify this properly! Otherwise… Huh? Lord Luo… Fei?”

As Naro was speaking excitedly and anxiously, the old butler’s expression suddenly changed.

Because he discovered…

Facing his words, Lord Luo Fei still maintained a silent state.

You see,

Although Lord Luo Fei usually appeared cold and kept people at a distance, his heart was quite protective of his own…

Previously, people who made young ladies Miya and Weiya unhappy would almost all be secretly taught a lesson by Lord Luo Fei.

Such a person couldn’t possibly remain unmoved after learning that his family’s madam and children had been framed…

As the old butler who had watched Luo Fei grow up, an unsettling hypothesis quickly surfaced in Naro’s mind:

“Lord Luo Fei, could it be that… Madam, she really…”

Naro didn’t dare say that final term.

However, everyone in the room now,

Whether Naro or the surrounding core figures of the Lingyuan family, had already guessed that answer.

Madam,

Reаⅾ οn KatRеadіոɡСαfе

Lianna-Anloxi.

Was really disguised by Gaia Lobir.

Not only that, but Luo Fei as the family head seemed to know about this?

Madam,

Was really an evil…

The moment they realized this, everyone including Naro gasped, with feelings of unease and turmoil continuously spreading in their hearts. Many even began checking their own bodies… after all, in their subconscious, evil gods were terrifying existences that would secretly plant curses on humans.

After taking in everyone’s reactions, Luo Fei finally spoke slowly, his tone quite indifferent:

“Has Madam… Gaia Lobir ever harmed you?”

“Ah?”

With these words, the Lingyuan family members looked at each other in confusion, gazing uncomprehendingly at their family head.

“Lord Luo Fei, what are you saying?”

To this question, Luo Fei didn’t give a direct answer, but silently swept his gaze over everyone present. When meeting each person’s eyes, Luo Fei would flatly remind them:

“Lokita, it was she who healed your grandson’s leg injury, right?”

“Luo Bing, it was she who drank the poison in place of your wife, right?”

“Kid, don’t forget who helped you break through to Divine Martial Realm.”

“And you, old man. Without Gaia Lobir’s help, you would have died of illness.”

Facing the retainers, Luo Fei calmly recounted fact after fact.

After hearing these words, everyone fell silent, and Luo Fei continued:

“Evil gods are indeed terrifying—the Celestial Blight and Abyssal Lord are complete demons. But Gaia Lobir is different. Don’t forget, over the past millennium, except for a few special incidents caused by Divine-Graced Maidens, Gaia Lobir has never actively attacked humans. Moreover, do you know?”

Sweeping his sharp gaze toward the retainers, Luo Fei whispered seriously:

“If it weren’t for the Terran Malevolence restraining the other two evil gods… except for the Divine Kingdom, the four human nations including our Westivian Covenant would have long been devoured by corruption.”

“Wh-what? This…”

“Nothing’s impossible, right? Let me tell you one more thing. Do you know why the Terran Malevolence suddenly fell into slumber two years ago?”

“Why… could it be?”

Naro’s pupils contracted, clearly realizing something.

“The one who repelled the Celestial Blight Ulutiel two years ago and saved the Kingdom of Qingyun… was Madam?”

“Yes.”

Luo Fei nodded matter-of-factly and once again surveyed the silent crowd.

“I don’t deny that she has instability and harbors great threats. But without her existence, none of us would be alive now. Although it’s helpless, this is the truth. At this point, I don’t plan to hide it from you anymore. But you don’t need to be so anxious either—that fool Gaia Lobir… isn’t as terrifying as you imagine. There are no curses on the young ladies either. The Terran Malevolence truly treats Ailiya and the others as her own children.”

“Whew…”

After a moment of silence, Naro took a deep breath, gradually hiding the unease and anxiety on his face as he returned to his usual calm and composed state.

Adjusting his monocle, Naro asked solemnly:

“We understand. Then… Lord Luo Fei, what should we do next?”

Not only Naro, but all the retainers focused their consulting gazes on Luo Fei.

“As for the people in Wishaven, find a way to appease them properly. Our territory’s citizens wouldn’t stage large-scale protests like this—Paradise Manor people are probably stirring things up behind the scenes. Find Paradise Manor’s people and deal with them.”

“Yes.”

“As for the Covenant and Divine Faith people?”

Smiling coldly, Luo Fei slowly stood up from the sofa and picked up the sharp sword placed on the coffee table.

The next moment,

Luo Fei’s mouth corners curved slightly upward, revealing a chillingly cold smile.

“Honored guests have arrived, so naturally we should go greet them, right? Especially the Divine Faith folks… It’s their first time coming to Wishaven, so we must properly fulfill our duties as hosts.”
