Chu Lingfeng expresses his unwavering loyalty to Luo Qingtong, fearing abandonment. Luo Qingtong reassures him, providing him with an identity token for future ease. Yu Sihuang, though frustrated by their dynamic, agrees to register Chu Lingfeng as a protector for the Emperor Sect. Luo Qingtong then sternly questions Chu Lingfeng about the Hu family and why he allowed himself to be humiliated, threatening to withdraw her protection if he cannot provide a satisfactory explanation. Chu Lingfeng reveals he complied because his mother's return was promised in exchange.

"Is Lady Yan the Second Lady Hu who lost her chastity before marriage? Is Chu Lingfeng the child she bore out of wedlock?"

Luo Qingtong mused to herself.

If this was the truth, it would explain Lady Yan's deep-seated reluctance to have her name mentioned publicly.

Could it be that she perceived herself as a stain upon the honor of the Hu Family?

Yet, if the Hu Family was indeed responsible for driving Lady Yan and her son away, and now chose to ignore the rampant bullying Chu Lingfeng endured from his Hu Family kin...

Then, even if Lady Yan herself had requested it, Luo Qingtong would feel no compunction about the fate of the Hu Family!

She had no desire to associate with such unpleasantness!

"Does the Hu Family Head know that you are being mistreated by the Hu Family siblings?"

Luo Qingtong had gathered from the hushed tones of those at the city gates that this matter likely concerned only a branch of the family.

If the main Family Head was oblivious to this situation, then his disposition might influence her decision!

However, if he was fully aware... then it was best for everyone to go their separate ways!

The life or death of the Hu family would be of no consequence to her!

"No," Chu Lingfeng replied, shaking his head. "I have never had the chance to meet him."

He spoke with unvarnished honesty. "They forbid me from seeing him, claiming my mother is a woman of ill repute and I am a worthless offspring, utterly lacking in any merit."

"They insist that I must first curry their favor before they would even consider speaking on my behalf."

"I... I recall my mother mentioning the Hu Family in the past, but she never revealed the location of our ancestral home..."

"Master, I can sense it in my heart that my mother profoundly wishes to return."

"However, she lives in constant fear... of burdening grandfather and the others... I... I yearn to accomplish something significant for my mother."

Chu Lingfeng confessed, his voice tinged with hesitation.

He cast a tentative glance at Luo Qingtong before quickly lowering his gaze. "Master, my suffering at their hands has not been in vain!"

"Hu Bang and his siblings suffer from bouts of diarrhea every single day once they return home!"

"Furthermore! The ordeal of being dragged around like this has, inadvertently, contributed to my Body Refinement."

"They aided me without the slightest inkling, all while sneering at me – truly the height of foolishness!"

Listening to his earnest pronouncements regarding the foolishness of the Hu Family siblings, Luo Qingtong couldn't suppress a smile.

"You are the fool here, and yet you dare to mock others," Luo Qingtong stated, feigning irritation as she looked at him.

This simpleton, were it not for his extraordinary innate talent where suffering led to increased strength, the constant machinations of the Hu Family siblings would have slowly eroded him to death!

It must be remembered that the unseen internal injuries sustained from such constant abuse were insidious.

If these accumulated over time, a sudden, unexpected demise would be all too likely!

This would allow the Hu Family to completely absolve themselves of any culpability.

A murder devoid of bloodshed, a scheme most sinister and vile!

How fascinating!

Since the main Family Head Hu remained unaware, she would make it her business to confront the members of the Second Elder's branch of the Hu Family!

In any case, Lady Yan had shown her immense kindness, and Chu Lingfeng's loyalty was unwavering; she possessed no valid reason to disregard their plight.

With these thoughts coalescing in her mind, Luo Qingtong immediately declared to Chu Lingfeng, "Let us depart!"

"I shall escort you to meet your grandfather!"

And, more importantly, to ascertain the Hu Family Head's true sentiments regarding Chu Lingfeng and Lady Yan!

If he continued to view them with disdain, considering them a source of disgrace, then she would depart without a second thought.

Should he harbor any genuine affection, however, she might consider lending them her assistance.

Furthermore, the matter mentioned by Bai Jintang concerning the Hu Family previously...

She needed to investigate this further, to determine if it held any connection to the Holy King Tomb!

With these contemplations guiding her, Luo Qingtong soon led Chu Lingfeng and Yu Sihuang towards the Hu Family residence.
