Chapter 265: Dealing with the Wei Family's Patriarch (1)

In the grand hallway, an elderly man proposed, "Lord, it would be beneficial if you permitted Miss Yao Lian, the wife of Young Master Liu Wei, to take part in the trial of the immortal phoenix." Various individuals in robes surrounded him, all of them maintaining a tense air as they awaited judgment. The atmosphere was thick with pressure; their bodies vibrated in harmony with the pulsating air, resulting in a discernible haze. At the forefront of the thrones, a regal figure sat with closed eyes, contemplating the elder's suggestion from the Wei family.

"Don't we all know, Elder, that Yao Lian is exploiting her husband's declining status and even stooping so low as to poison him?" One of the older gentlemen, sitting cross-legged with his chin resting on his hand, cast a glance toward the previous speaker who had made such a claim, as most of the elders were already aware of Yao Lian's attempts to secretly boost her power by acquiring poisons from the black market.
