Upon hearing this, Jinzhu immediately knelt down: "It was Miss and Madam who saved me. I am willing to leave with Madam."

Mu Junyu looked at Jinzhu and saw that she resembled her in some ways. She then looked at the men in black and said, "Take her with you."

"yes."

The men in black immediately agreed.

"A-Jiu." Mu Junyu raised her hand and stroked the tuft of red hair on Huo Feng's head. Huo Feng immediately obeyed and lowered her body.

Mu Junyu flew directly onto the broad back of the fire phoenix.

"Chirp!" The fire phoenix let out a long cry and took off carrying Mu Junyu on its back.

Su Yun'an, who had mentally prepared herself, couldn't help but cry when she saw Mu Junyu really leave. She shouted to Mu Junyu on Huofeng's back, "Mother, remember to come back and pick me and my sister up!"

Mu Junyu turned around and gave Su Xuening and Su Yun'an a deep look.

It wasn't that she wanted to abandon them, but they were safer here than in her world. Once she had arranged everything, she would come back for them if they still wanted to leave with her.

The fire phoenix flew out of the ink bamboo forest, soaring higher and higher until it was just a tiny dot.

"Mother~" Su Yun'an could no longer hold back and burst into tears.

Su Xuening's eyes were also red, and she reached out and hugged Su Yun'an.

Only by holding Su Yun'an could Su Xuening feel a moment of warmth, and only then could she feel that she still had family.

"Miss." Jinzhu knelt down and kowtowed three times to Su Xuening.

Although she didn't want to leave her homeland and didn't know where these people would take her, she knew that her mistress wouldn't harm her.

She helped her mistress rescue the First Madam, but Su Renyi and Consort Su will definitely not let her go. Leaving with the First Madam is her best option now.

She had no family left; she was just reluctant to part with her young mistress. However, her young mistress was the First Madam's biological daughter, and as long as she stayed with the First Madam, she would see her again sooner or later.

Su Xuening looked at Jinzhu with reluctance: "Go, take good care of her."

She initially recruited Jinzhu because she was quick-witted and was Su Renyi's confidante, hoping Jinzhu would help her keep track of her mother's whereabouts. However, through their repeated interactions and mutual assistance, she had come to regard Jinzhu as one of her own.

Jinzhu did indeed play a significant role in her mother's safe rescue, proving that her decision was correct. However, Jinzhu has now offended both Su Renyi and Su Huiyan in her efforts to save her mother. Leaving Su Renyi aside for now, given Su Huiyan's ruthlessness, she certainly won't let Jinzhu off the hook.

It wasn't that she lacked the ability to protect Jinzhu, but everyone makes mistakes sometimes. It would be better to let Jinzhu leave with her mother. Her mother had been away from her homeland for twenty years, and she didn't know if there were any capable people around her. Jinzhu was smart and loyal, and she would definitely be able to help her mother.

"I will, Miss. Please take care." Jinzhu's eyes were filled with tears, her face full of reluctance.

The men in black were still somewhat humane; they waited until Jinzhu finished saying goodbye to Su Xuening before taking her away.

Seeing them move freely in the bamboo forest, Pei Luo became even more curious about Mu Junyu's identity.

Once the man in black left, the bamboo forest became much quieter, with only Su Yun'an's sobs remaining.

His sobs aggrieved him, making the already sad atmosphere even more sorrowful. Su Xuening knew he was upset, so she didn't try to comfort him. She just held him and let him vent his emotions.

After a long while, Su Yun'an finally looked up, sobbing, as if she had finished crying: "Sister, will Mother really come back?"

Su Xuening tenderly wiped away his tears and comforted him, "Of course, when has Mother ever lied to us?"

Su Yun'an pouted. This hadn't happened before, but now that her mother had lost her memory, what if she just abandoned them and never came back?

Seeing his tears streaming down his face, Su Xuening could only cup his little face and coax him, "Alright, stop crying. We're all still here. Mother will definitely come back. She just has some very important things to do, and she'll be back when she's done. While Mother is away, you should practice martial arts diligently so that you'll be able to protect Mother and your sister in the future!"

"Mmm!" Su Yun'an nodded obediently, trying her best to control her emotions.

Pei Luo also felt sorry for the two of them. She stepped forward and patted Su Yun'an's head, then looked at Su Xuening and said, "Alright, don't be sad anymore. You still have your master, right? Your master is with you."

Su Xuening looked at Pei Luo with emotion.

Yes, she not only has Yun An, but also her master!

Moreover, their mother still cares about them; she just has amnesia and will definitely come back.

Pei Luo suddenly seemed to sense something and slapped his head: "Look at my brain, it seems like someone has broken into the stone forest."

He sensed it the moment the phoenix appeared; it wasn't that he had forgotten about it just because of their commotion.

"It must be Ye Yu and the others who saw Phoenix and were worried about me." Su Xuening immediately realized it was Ye Yu and the others, and hurriedly ran out.

Pei Luo and Su Yun'an also ran out.

Pei Luo went to the Stone Forest and activated the formation, which allowed Ye Yu and the others to emerge from the Stone Forest.

"princess!"

Upon seeing Su Xuening, Ye Yu and the others immediately ran over with concern: "Are you alright?"

"It's alright," Su Xuening said reassuringly, then looked at the three of them carefully.

Although the three of them were in a bit of a mess, thankfully they weren't injured.

The master set up this stone forest with the intention of preventing outsiders from entering the bamboo forest. Although the formation is profound, it is only for guarding the gate, not for harming people. However, the formation in the ink bamboo forest could cause injury if the traps are accidentally triggered.

"Was that a phoenix just now? It seemed to have gone into the forest," Ye Yu asked Su Xuening curiously.

Su Xuening replied calmly, "There is no phoenix. You've mistaken it for something else. It's just a large paper kite."

The phoenix is ​​a divine bird. Although many people may have seen this phoenix, it's probably best to downplay its significance. The mother's identity is currently unknown, but she certainly has an important role.

Weakening the appearance of the phoenix would only benefit her and Yun'an, as well as her mother.

Ye Yu and the others exchanged suspicious glances.

How could they be mistaken? Such a huge phoenix, at such close range, and with three pairs of eyes!

However, judging from the princess's expression, she seemed unwilling to say more, so they didn't ask any further questions and simply accepted that it was indeed a kite.

"Wait for me here. Don't wander around. There are traps everywhere. I'll be out in a bit," Su Xuening instructed the three of them.

"Yes," the three immediately bowed in response.

Su Xuening, Su Yun'an, and Pei Luo returned to the bamboo house.

Thinking of the phoenix, Pei Luo sighed, "Girl, your mother's identity is not simple!"

In this Xuan Tian Continent, there are only a handful of people qualified to raise phoenixes, and those who can afford to do so are extremely rare.

Moreover, it's clear that their mother is quite skilled in martial arts.

Not to mention Pei Luo, Su Xuening was also very curious about her mother's identity: "Does Master know which organizations in the Xuan Tian Continent are related to the Phoenix?"
