The atmosphere in the banquet hall was oppressively tense.
Many people even dared not lift their heads to glance at the high platform.
They knew very well that any movement now could provoke the wrath of Elder Madam Zhuo.
Following a silence that felt soul-crushing, Elder Madam Zhuo, who was still dazed from being slapped, finally regained her senses and let out a piercing scream.
"Go find out where this bitch and this fellow have gone; I’m going to tear them to pieces and make sure their souls never reincarnate!"
Someone quickly slipped away quietly.
Then Elder Madam Zhuo screamed, "No one is to speak of today’s events; otherwise, I’ll send you to the grave with them!"
The venom in her voice chilled everyone to the core.
Soon, the unrelated people all left with various thoughts in their minds.
Once only the Zhuo Family’s legitimate branch remained in the banquet hall.
Elder Madam Zhuo exploded once again.
She furiously smashed the porcelain, and all the servants were so frightened that they knelt on the ground and dared not lift their heads.
After venting, someone, trembling, handed her some medicine for her injuries.
After Elder Madam Zhuo took the medicine, the wounds on her face visibly healed at an astonishing rate.
She soon looked as if nothing had happened.
Then she returned to her usual self and coldly sat back down in her original spot.
Zhuo Ya and the other members of the Zhuo Family’s legitimate branch all kept their heads down, silent.
After a moment,
Elder Madam Zhuo suddenly let out a burst of cold laughter.
The sound started softly but gradually grew louder until Elder Madam Zhuo was laughing uproariously.
Those who remained exchanged glances, each seeing confusion in the others’ eyes.
What was happening?
Had Elder Madam Zhuo been so agitated that she had lost her mind?
Just then,
The laughter abruptly stopped, and then they heard Elder Madam Zhuo say coldly, "Though you are very powerful, you are still too young and naively believed in fate at the end, sparing me! Well, I will make you understand what happens when someone offends me and Tian Fu Pavilion!"
She then commanded in a stern voice, "Bring Xu Bao’s body to Tian Fu Pavilion exactly as it is and tell them that whoever killed Xu Bao probably did it to seize the divine glyphs that are about to emerge!"
"Yes!" Someone quickly stepped forward to scoop up Xu Bao’s body from the floor, placing it on a stretcher and carrying it out.
"Zhuo Family!" Elder Madam Zhuo called out again.
Mrs. Zhuo hurriedly stepped forward, "Elder Madam!"
"Take my card and visit the Empress at the City Lord’s Mansion. Tell her about what happened today and say that this young man’s background is unclear, likely hailing from another celestial domain!"
"Is that all? Should we also..." Mrs. Zhuo asked.
"No need; a powerful figure like the Empress will naturally understand what it means when a foreign force appears at such a delicate time!" Elder Madam Zhuo sneered.
"Yes!"
After everyone had left, Elder Madam Zhuo murmured with deep malice, "Zhuo Yangyang, and you too! Just you wait, I’ll make you wish for death but be unable to achieve it!"
Meanwhile,
Xue An was leading Zhuo Yangyang back to their courtyard.
Of course, they could no longer stay here.
Zhuo Yangyang went back to her room and quickly packed her belongings into a small bundle, which she then carried on her back.
